GASSING ON GAS
 WITH GASMAKERS President Roden Receives Con- tract and Submits One. THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE. Will Make Contract of It's Own Which Will Please Everybody, Says Cap
 tain White-Promise of Fair
 ness All Around
THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE.

The lights committee of the City Cour- cil has been called to meet at D o'clock this afternoon to take up the work of re- vising and readjusting the contract with the Birmingham Gas Company. tenta- tive contract has been submitted by Alder man Heidt to President Roden of the Gas Company. This was not altogether accep- table and MT. Roden has submitted a coun- ter contract to be passed by the commit tee. It is probable that at the meeting this aefternoon another contract will be framed in the nature of a compromise.
 It will be remembered that when the matter of making gas contract came be- fore the City Council some time ago that citizens meeting was held and a pro- test was made against the adoption of tle measure proposed by the Gas Company.
 At that time the question was dropped until further investigation into the con- tract proposed by the Gas Company could be made A committee was named by the citizens meeting with Frank s. White as chairman. It was ascertained that con- trary to the general impression the gas contract expired this year instead of ten years hence, as the people had been led to believe
 Apropos the revival of the gas question Captain White said yesterday afternoon that he would issue call for the citizens committee to meet during the early part of next week and continue the investigation, which had been postponed. Captain White said it would be the committees purpose to give both sides fair hearing and make a contract which will be suitable to the people and the Gas Company When the committee has framed what it regards as a just contract this will be reported to the citizens meeting, to be held later, and if approved the contract will then be present. ed to the City Council for final action.

WORK SHUT DOWN
 AT ROLLING MILL
Steel and Bar Mills Closed and ; 125 Men Out of En-
 pIOyment.

The steel mill and one of the bar mills at the Birmingham rolling mill have been closed down and about 125 men thereby thrown out of employment. The pudding department and all but one of the bar mills will be continued in operation, so far as is at present known.
 Officers of the Republic Iron and Steel Company stated yesterday that the steel mill had been closed down on account of the large accumulation of stock and that when the demand for the product would justify it the mill would again be started up.
 The shutting down of the steel mill was quite a surprise to the employees, as no notice had been given them until Monday of the intention to close down. The rolling mill had only been in operation since Oc- .tober l, when the Republic Iron and Steel Company and the Amalgamated Associa- tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers agreed upon contract for the year ending June 30, 1901
 Just how long the mill will be closed it Is impossible to say, as the resumption of work depends on the iron market.

The Station Warden's Callers by Telephone and in Person
 Cause Annoyance.

''To a person unaccustomed to the trials of warden at the Birmingham police sta ton the variety of telephone calls sent in and the numerous nonsensical inquiries would be surprising said Warden New man yesterday.
 we are disturbed at all times of the day and night by telephone calls which, if we attempted to answer correctly, would make a less experienced man turn gray within a few months. For instance, re- ceived a call yesterday from man who wanted to know the number of a certain fish dealers telephone. I told him the first number which came into my head, think ing this the best way to get rid of him. As would be supposed I gave the wrong number, and in few minutes he called me again and informed me that had di- rected him wrong and insisted on my giv- ing him the right number. When I in- formed him that I was not the telephone exchange he seemed to get wrathy and pro- ceeded to admonish me for not correctly answering his inquiry. The man had never taken time to think that all this time he was talking to me he could have looked in the telephone book and found out
 Continuing, MT. Newman said: "On some days we have many as twenty-five call CTS who have come to find out about their friends in jail and when the name of the friend is given we learn that no such per- son has ever been in jail. The old saying that you should go to the police with your troubles is certainly carried out in Bir- mngham."

 When the robbery was first reported 1t Was difficult to obtain clew to the iden- tlty of the thieves, as the camp of Engineer Mable is located ten miles from Ensley. The police ascertained. however, that some time ago the negro, James Alexander, had worked for MT. Mable, but had been dis charged The woman, Mary Jones. had been to the camp to see Alexander He claimed that she was his sister. When arrested two purses were found on the persons of the prisoners-one of them con ta1ning $55 in money and the other a smaller sum-

SHOWED THE MINISTER
And Got Him in Line.

.In a minister's family in Los Angeles where I was visiting sometime ago. the wife complained of serious indigestion and dyspepsia She admitted that she used coffee and said she more than half be- lieyed that was the trouble. 1 told her that knew it was the trouble, for I had gone through with the experience mysI,ss and had only been cured when l left off coffee and took up Postum Food Coffee.
 'She said she had tried the Postum, both for herself and for her husband, but they did not like it. With her permission, I made Postum next morning mysS.s, and boiled it full fifteen minutes after the r-at boiling of the pot began Then when it was served, 1t was a rich, deep brown color and had the true flavor and food value that every Postum maker knows. 1t Is alI folly to talk about trying to make Postum with one or two minutes sleeping.
 You can't get something good for noth- ing It must be boiled. boiled, boiled, and to keep it from boiling over use small Jumps of butter, perhaps twice the size of a pea. That morning the minister and his wife liked Postum so well that their whole lives were changed on the question of diet and they abandoned coffee at once and for all time.
 Now, after a hard days work they are comforted, refreshed. and rested by cup of well-made Postum for supper They are both enthusiastic in its praise The wife has entirely recovered from her dys- pepsia. I will not go into the details of my own case, except to say that was desperate sufferer with dyspepsia and dis covered by leaving off coffee that coffee was the cause of 1t. 1 quickly got we'll when I took up Postum Food Coffee. I earnestly hope many more coffee drinkers may get their eyes open. Name and ad- dress given by Postum Cereal Company, Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich.

One member of the board also offered the suggestion that the Aldermen be provided with passes to the fair This met with favor.

STEERING FIRE HORSES
Electricity is the Quick and Effective
 Power

The firemen at the northside department were busy all day yesterday giving the horses their semi-annual shearing. The method employed in taking the surplus hair off these horses is very interesting. An instrument is used called a clipping ma chine and is operated by electricity. A set of clippers very much like those ordinar- fly used in barber shop is attached to the electric dynamo by means of a long wire, which works in a spiral tube The clippers work with lightning-lke rapidity, and are run over the horses legs and bodies, taking off every particle of surplus hair and giving the animals a sleek ap- pearance. Every horse in the fire depart ment is sheared twice a year.

END OF STRIKES
 SAID TO BE HERE

An unconfirmed rumor was in circulation last night to the effect that the strike at the Ensley steel mill and the Bessemer rolling mill would come to an end within the next day or two, probably today. Ef- forts to verify the rumor were made but without success. It is stated that the em- ployes at the Bessemer rolling mill had de- cided to return to work regardless of the conditions at Ensley.
 It will be recalled that the members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers employed al the steel mill demanded recognition for their order, and on the refusal of the company to agree to this they quit work. Last Saturday night the employees of the Bessemer rolling mill, owned and operated by the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company, also owners of the Ensley steel milI went out on strike.
