and Montgomery. It has neen reported that the Louisville and Nashville contemplates changing the runs so that crews will lie over ait Montgomery and Decatur, and discontinuance of the relay at Birmingham. The board of trade committee consists of G. Rotholz, D. J. Fox, c. E. Thomas and the president Oliver Chalifoux.
 The president was authorized Ito appoint similar committee from the Commercial club to co-operate with the board of trade committee.
 The president announced the committee as follows: John w Johnston, J. J. Banks, c. c. Ellis and Eugene J. Jacobs.
 Ross c. Smith was appointed on the transponbat ton committee, to fill the vacan- cy caused lby the death of W. J. Pearee.
 While at the industrial convention in Huntsville last September Governor Me- Corkle, of West Virginia, was informally invited to visit Birmingham by the Bir- mingham delegation. He has recently. adi- vised Secretary Gibson that he can proba- ply come to Birmingham sometime this month and that on the occasion of his visit he would deliver a speech on the Nicara- qua canal, if the club so desired.
 On motion of John W. ONeil the seere- tsry was instructed to extend Governor McCorkle formal invitation to visit the city and to arrange for his reception and entertainment while here. ,,a5.
 State Fair Question
 The failure of the State Fair association to pay advertising contracts with weekly newspapers throughout the. state was brought to the attention of the meeting. Extracts from different papers were read in which Birmingham was severely criti- cised and in some of them the Commercial club was coupled with the fair association.
 R. N. Rrodes said something should be done to clear the club of any suspicion of being a party to any failure of the State Fair association to meet it's obligations.
 MT. Wood suggested that the committee that had charge of the initiatory move ments of the fair association should take the matter up and see if the creditors could not be satisfied.
 B. Steiner said he had opposed the move- ment at tine beginning and didn't want to have anything to do with 1t now.
 E. W. Barrett said the country newspa- pers should be paid on their advertising contracts and endorsed the suggestion that a committee be appointed to aid the asso- citation in providing for these matters.
 MT. Wood said the fair association was wrecked by unlooked-for things that con- fronted them. He suggested that com mittee from the Commercial club should investigate the matter and publish state ment setting forth the true conditions. He said there was no swindle in connection with the fair association management, but that they were unfortunate
 MT. Steiner said the country papers of Alabama had always been kindly disposed towards Birmingham, and he didn't think it wise to do anything that would cause them to turn against the city
 Without taking any action on the matter the club adjourned.

ALMOST MIRACULOUS.
Facts That Are stranrer rnan r,..,o,

: Facts That Are Stranger Than FIctton
 The wonderful results that have blessed the work of the Christian Scientists at the end or the nineteenth century seem almost miraculous to the ordinary layman who had not seriously considered their methods ar who perhaps has forgotten that in the in. spired world. all things are promised ta those Wno ask and that those who seek shall find. T.
 While the Christian Scientists of modern times make no claim of ability to w,rlr miracles or to raise the dead, it is an incon- testable fact that through the knoweldee of the superiority of mind over matter and the sklil acquired by years of study of tha lessons taught by the great intellects of all ages, the most wonderful results have been achieved in the cure of the physical afl- mentls of distressed humanity. No disease has been proof against this treatment and no case of human suffering has~failed to secure relief even when the sufferer has been without belief In Christian Science and has had no personal knowledge of or con- tact with the Healer.
 Notable among the most successful of the Christian Science Headers of today is s. A. Jefferson, of Chicago, H., who is blessed by the grateful prayers of hundreds If not thousands of those who have been restored to health by the intelligent application of the methods of Christian Science. To those who are suffering and who desire to test the beneficent results of this treatment: bear ing in mind that distance and unbelief in the theory of Christian Science make no difference; a little book called "A Message of Health" and giving detailed information regarding this blessed truth. will be sent on application and receipt of 2-cent stamp by 8.

MEETING OF THE
 COMMERCIAL CLUB
Interesting Report Submitted by
 President Anderson.
SOME IMPORTANT MATTERS
City Census Touched Upon -Birming- ham Exhibit at Paris Exposition Failure of State Fair Association
 to Meet Obligations Discussed

A short meeting of the Commercial club was held yesterday afternoon, and an inter- esting report was submitted by President Anderson, touching upon several matters under consideration by the organization.
 The board of directors of the club met at 3:3o D. m. with President Anderson in the chair and the following members pres ent: Secretary Gibson, B. Steiner, Rufus N. Rhodes B. F. Roden, W. H. Kettig, John W. Johnston. Sterling A. Wood J. J. Banks and E. W. Barrett.
 The board elected the following new members: J. M. Pierce, R. c. Carson, A. W. Croudeli, G. B. Burkhalter.
 The board then adjourned and at 4 o'clock the club meeting was called to or- der.
 Presidents Report
 President Anderson submitted the follow ing report:
 "To the Members of the Commercial Club.
 "I have several matters under advise ment, which are not yet in a sufficiently complete state to report to the club, but which, when matured. will possibly tend to largely benefit the city
 Tn the meantime, beg to call your at tention to the following correspondence be- tween myself, the Hon. O. W. Underwood, our representative at Washington, and MT. R. B. Smyer, supervisor of the Fifth gen sus district of Alabama
 I also call attention to a letter from Mr George I. Motz, of Huntsville, Ala, com missioner of Alabama to the Paris exposi- ton, in which 1t will be seen that Mr. Motz makes some valuable suggestions con- cerning an exhibit from this district.
 Tn connection with this matter, desire to say that MT. E. Eastman, of this city, also makes a very valuable suggestion as regards the kind of exhibit it might be well for the different mining and manufac- turing corporations of this district to adopt. MT. Eastman suggests that instead of hay ing specimens of our iron ore, coal and other minerals, with our finished products, exhibited, it would be better to have a raised map made, say six by ten feet, of the Birmingham district; the iron ore ridges to be covered with powdered iron orc; the coal fields similarly treated with coal dust; likewise the lime rock deposits; and the non-mineraq lands covered with earth. all glued to the surface of the raised map. together with the location of the railroads, country roads and water courses. A map of this kind would be self explana- tory, and would fasten the attention of any person who would look at 1t. It could be shifted from one city to another. if desired, and therefore shown fin the principal cen- ters of Europe at little cost It could be made and mounted at nominal cost and think MT. Eastmans idea of sufficient i'm portance to call the attention of the club and the different corporations of the dis trict to the suggestion.
 Respectfully submitted.
 IF. Y. ANDERSON, President"
 The Census Question
 Attached to President Anderson's report
The age-herald., 1900-01-06

was the following correspondence regard ing the census
 ''R. B. Smyer Esq, Supervisor Fifth Gen. sus District of Alabama, Birmingham, Ala
 Dear Sir: A large number of the mem- bers of the Commercial club have called my attention to the importance, if such can be done. of getting you to so arrange the census of this city as to include the popu- lafion immediately outside and surround ing the corporate limits of the city of Bir- mingham. You are very we'll aware of the fact that the corporate limits of the city have been so confined as to exclude large number of the furnaces and other plants for the purpose of exempting them from city taxation. These plants employ a large number of operatives who reside just out side the corporate limits and practically belong to Birmingham, as they do all their trading in the city. Our electric lines all run to these points, so that in reality they are part and parcel of Birmingham proper, and should be included in the census as be- longing to Birmingham.
 q will be greatly indebted if you will take this matter up with the powers that be, and see if this cannot be changed
 Yours truly,
 (Signed) IF. Y. ANDERSON,
 'President."
