and that therefore, Congress should be called together at once in order to provide in the event of an urgent contingency
 The Board of Aldermen of Birmingham is about to enter into a new contract for light ing this city with electric arc lights. The contract price is said to be the lowest of any city in this section of the south. It is some s2S per light per annum lower than the existing contract. With the present number of street lights the saving will be about 5000 per year. But the present number of lights is not nearly sufficient for a city of Birmingham's size. Such little city as Knoxville has seventy-three more lights than Birmingham, Chattanooga has fifty more lights than Birmingham, and Memphis and Nashville have twice as many. Birmingham has only IT lights. This number should be increased to at least 225 at once. We can't get policemen to protect us. We should, therefore at least have a degree more of light to pro- tect our residence sections. This S5,O00 saved annually on the new light contract should be used either to employ policemen or to put up more lights The use of this money in one of these ways would proba- ply have some effect toward curtailing the recent wholesale burglaries throughout the residence sections. There is hardly night that We don't hear of one or more burglaries. The police department gets re- ports of burglaries every day. But the department with its small number of men is almost powerless to accomplish any thing.
 There's another small thing in connection with the city government which almost every merchant in town is protesting against, but without effect. Birmingham has modern street sweeper. It is drawn by two horses, and if properly manipulated would keep l--e paved streets of the city clean. It. however needs to be preceded, in its nightly rounds, by a street sprinkler Every other city in the world which pos sesses sweeper has sprinkler to go in front. Birmingham has none. Therefore, when the sweeper goes along it churns up the dust, sends it flying through the air and under the doors and windows of the mercantile houses to settle upon the fab rics of the dry goods and clothing houses and damages them materially. In other words, the street sweeper, instead of clean ing the streets, only fans the dust and dirt into the buildings and destroys much valu- able property of the merchants The street sweeping business should be done right or the sweeper should be cast out of commits sion.
 The music-loving people of Birmingham and of all this country will learn with much regret of the news from London that Jean de Reszke's voice has been seriously impaired; so much so, indeed, that the celebrated singer has refused to sign a contract for next years season with Maurice Grau in this country and he has been compelled to abandon all of his pres ent engagements in London.

Waqe Scale and Common Sense.

In the ceaseless round of duties many persons do not stop to think how fortunate this district was in escaping trouble at the recent annual settlement of the years scale. There are those even who do not stop to consider that all the property and activity of this district come directly from the earth-the ore. the fuel and the Aux. Everything that man uses, be it useful or hurtful or merely ornamental, comes from the earth, and this is particularly and di rectly the case in this district, and this fact rendered the late settlement of a wage scale critical and extremely important.
 The miners did want a semi-monthly pay day; they wanted freedom from the commissaries; they wanted a great many things; but in the end they accepted with out friction what the operators offered them. They accepted last years wages, with a few minor concessions. and all re- stunned work deep in the bowels of the earth without resentment or friction or trouble of any sort. The district is indebted to it's splendid corps of miners and mine laborers for this happy ending of contention that might have stayed, possibly wrecked, its prosperity.
 The truth is, there was plenty of business sense on both sides in the recent settle ment. The operators overlooked the demor- alization of the pig iron market, and of- fered to pay last years wages, and the operatives met them in an equally gener- quent pay day and similar needs. Both sides were business-like, reasonable and sensible: and whenever they meet on that reached, and this district spared disaster that would be worse than fire or earth quake. While labor and capital agree in this district, all can afford to disregard rivals in other localities. The absence of strike and the opening of the Warrior are in fact all that we need in facing the rest of the world in the production of coal iron or steel.

GarwOod's Sarsaparilla-for the blood

JOHN FRANCIS WAKEFIELD.
Born Dec. 81, 1854; Died June IL,
1900.

The writer had known him for more
than thirty years. We were school boys
in our younger days, and had full OPP
portunity to know life and character In
it's early manifestations. Since our
school days, we have continued our
associations and friendships to the time
of his death, and have had opportunity
to know him as man in his business
life and developed character. His was
noble spirit a pure heart beat in his
bosom. A generous impulse actuated him
i'm allhis relations and dealings with his
fellows.
His attachments to his friends were
warm and firm, and whoever could
claim him as his friend never had occa-
sion to doubt his sincerity or to suspect
the genuineness Of his professions. He
Low ed The truth, he despised the false.
he cherithed honor and eschewed evil.
Such was his character-it was a manly
character. Those who loved HIM and
were near and dear to him can find
comfort in cherishing memory of his
life and character.
June is, 1880, he was married to Miss
Mary d. McLemore, and she and four
children survive him. In his home life
he was affectionate, kind and loving as
a son husband, and father. To hts be-
reaved mother, wife and children, the
memory of his love and affection will
ever be an oasis in the desert OF the
evening years occasi0ned by his death.
The memory of his love will comfort
the desolstion and grief of his death.
The nobility of his life, character and
purpose will ever be an impetus and
| stimulus to his children-an uplift to
noble life.
When about fourteen years, OF age, he
met with a very serious accidC mt which
at the time was supposed would be
fatal, end which left results from which
he never fully recovered. He was
4 thrown from a running horse, which
produced conclusion of the brain. For
/ fourteen days he lay totally uncou-
sciOus, and after return of conscious
/ ness IL was found that he had lost prac-
/ tically all Information aud had TO begin
/ his studies with the alphabet
In this injury we have the explana-
[ ton OF his sad death. As the years
passed, melancholia development, and
In these times OF extreme depression,
the cares aud disappointments Of busi-
ness weighed heavily upon him and
seemed to press him down and this con-
dition OF mind seemed within the last
two years TO grow worse until IN such
an abnormal mental condition be
sought refuge where so many other
noble spirits have retreated from the
apparently unbearable burdens. Thus
the end came-came instantly and with
out suffering. The spirit. separated
from the wounded and dis arranged
body, found itself IN the presence OF
the Author % life md Maker Of bod
who, understanding the relations Of
BODY and spirit. will speak peace 70 the
