 DIES IN HOSPITAL D. W. $. Caldwell, Hayes, Alap The Address on an
 Envelope.

D. w. S. Caldwell a mddle-aged white man, died yesterday morning at Hillman Hospital of Bright's disease. When he en- tered the hospital on the previous day his mind was in a disordered condition and he was suffering intensely. He gave the nurse his name and an envelope in his pocket helped to disclose his identity, which for a while was in doubt. The following ad- dress was on the envelopes ID. W. S. Cald well, Hayes, Ala"
 None of his relatives could be found, and the body now lies at the undertaking establishment of Erswcll & Co. awaiting interment.
 The unfortunate man was unknown in this city, and he had gone to the Mayor office on Monday afternoon. He was un- able to tell exactly what he wanted, but the Mayors private secretary, MT Mur ray noticed that the man was suffering intensely and had him sent to the Hillman Hospital He was evidently a peddler of spectacles, as he carried a small hand bag filled with eye glasses of various kinds.

DIR. MANN BREACHES
With Fervor at the Kingston Tent Meet
 ing

At the tent meeting at Kingston last night special interest was manifested. Dr. Mann preached from Luke [: 15 and A: And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother" And He said unto her, thy sins are forgiven"
 The theme was Jesus Christ's power over sin and death." Dr. Mann said that two great facts face us First, death sec ond, sin. These two facts are to be recog- nized as the two great foes of man. If duly recognized as such, and the fact that each must fight these two foes, if alone to be defeated, if with the help of Jesus Christ to be victors, then 1t is that the battle is half won Only to go forth in the grace which He supplies is to conquer sin, and thereby so cripple death that it be- comes an easy prey to our final charge
 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift Of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"
 For we are more than conouerors through Him"
 Dr. Mann cited the case of Colonel Had ley of mission fame, in New York city who was rescued from gambling and a drunkard's life and became the instrument of the conversion and restoration to man. hood and womanhood of thousands of the unfortunate lost ones in that city
 Dr. Mann will preach tonight upon the future life. Services Friday night and Sunday morning and night.

Charles Dickson

Tonight at the Jefferson Theatre MT. Charles Dickson and company will be seen in the successful comedy, Mistakes Will Happen" Of the performance the Norfolk Va) Landmark says
 For the past two seasons MT. Charles Dickson has been absent from Norfolk, but he Is of such a mold as a comedian that his visits are always welcome, and in con- sequence there were two numerous aud fences to greet him at the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon and last night in his new comedy, Mistakes Will Happen. In this play there are numerous funny sit uations and a combination of such comic circumstances and bright, clever lines as to make 1t well worth seeing. This is partic- uldrly true of the second act, the finale of which Is really interesting, the many com pications being of a varied sort and fol- lowing rapidly, the one, the other In the leading role MT. Dickson has a method which belongs alone to him. He is not quaint he is rather up to date in speech and action, and at all times holds the at- tention of the audience by honest, legiti- mate work. There are other members of his company who have good parts in this play and they do just that style of work which is most pleasing to those who see and hear them.

Speaks of the Great Growth of His SeCtion-FiDe New
 Courthouse.

s. P. Wilson, editor of the Marion County News, published at Hamilton, Ala, was in the city last night, en route to Huntsville. MT. Wilson is one of the oldest newspaper men in the State, having been actively con- nected with different papers for over fifty years. He is now getting out one of the best weeklies in the State.
 He brings news of considerable improve ments being made at Hamilton He. says the new courthouse Is now under construc- tlon. and will be pushed to completion at the earliest possible date. The courthouse will be one of the handsomest in the State when finished, and will be a credit to the progressive county in which 1t is being built. It will be a two-story stone structure with courtroom and offices for the dif- ferent county officials. The cost of the building will be between s21 000 and $22, 900. The contract calls for It's completion by Au- gust 15, 1901.
 MT. Wilson says the West Alabama Az ricultural School at Hamilton opened this fall with the largest attendance in its his tory, and with prospects for the most sue cessful session it has ever had On the open- ing day 175 pupils were enrolled and others have come in since.

ITS ONLY 21 DAYS

 Success. ALL SIGNS MOST BRIGHT Nothing But Providence Could Prevent the State Fair From Being Great Success This Year." Says
 Colonel Falkner.
ALL SIGNS MOST BRIGHT

Twenty-one days until the State Fair.
 Nothing but Providence could prevent the State Fair from being a great success this year." says Col. J. NJ Falkner, presi- dent of the Alabama Fair Association. Tt is bound to be a success unless rain falls every day the gates are open. I have the most reliable information that the attend ance will be the largest any fair in the State ever had, and we are going to give the people attractions worth seeing, be- sides providing the best exhibits eyer got ten together in Alabama"
 Colonel Falkner speaks with enthusiasm of the reports that reach him from every section of the State. He has been in Br- mingham since Monday looking after the details of the fair which required his per- sonal attention. The work has been thor oughly systematized, and every man con- nected with the association in any capacity is giving Colonel Falkner the most hearty support.
 City Treasurer George Eustis has been appointed superintendent of the ticket de- partment, and the printing and selling of tickets will be under his direct supervision.

CITY'S GARBAGE
 AND ITS DISPOSAL
Proposition That the City Itself Assume the Work of Re-
 moving the Refuse.

Mayor Drennen has appointed Aldermen Altman, Kerr and Harrington as special committee to investigate the garbage ques- tlon, as authorized by resolution passed at the last meeting of the City Council
 This committee will investigate and decide whether it will be advisable for the city of Birmingham to purchase teams and outfits and undertake the work of removing the garbage instead of giving the contract to private citizens, as is now the custom
 The garbage question has always been a vexed question for the municipal authori- ties, and neither the contractors nor the city have been satisfied with the way the present plan has worked. Once before the city undertook the task of removing the garbage, but at that time it proved very expensive, and the work was abandoned.
 Conditions are different now, and Mayor Drennen thinks the city would do well to purchase teams and undertake the work He says the animals and outfits can be cared for as well by the city as individuals, and that the work could be done very cheap. He suggests that the removal of the garbage be placed under the direction of Street Commissioner McCartin.
 The special committee will take up the question immediately and thorough report will be ready for the next meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen.

THE RIGHT THING
A New Catarrh Cure Which is Rapidly
 Coming to the Front

| For several years Euca;yptol, Guaiacol and Hydrastn have been recognized as standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
 but they have always been given separately and only very recently an ingenius chemist succeeded in combining them, together with other antiseptics into a pleasant, eifecttve tablet.
 Druggists sell the remedy under the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and 1t has met with remarkable success In the cure of nasal catarrh, bronchial and throat catar<A and in catarrh of the stomach. MT. F. N. Benton, whose address Is care of Clark House, Troy, N. Y, says: When I run up against anything that is good Ike to tell people of 1t. I have been troubied with catarrh more or less for some time. Last winter more than ever. Tried several so-caled cures, but did not get any benefit from them. About six weeks ago I bought a 50 cent box of StuArt's Catarrh Tablets and I am glad to say that they have done wonders for me and I do not hesitate to let all my friends know that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are the right thing. MT. Geo. J. Casanova of Hotel Griffon West 9th street, New York City, writes; I have commenced using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and already they have given me better results than any catarrh cure have ever tried
 A leading physician of Pittsburg advises the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in pre- ference to any other Urea tment for catarrh of the head, throat or stomach
 He claims they are far superior to in halers, salves, lotions or powder, and are much more convenient and pleasant to take and are so harmless that little children take them with benefit as they contain no opiate. cocaine or any poisonous drug.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full sized package and they are probably the safest and most reliable cure for any form of catarrh.

THINGS EASIER
 FOR THE POLICE Prisoners Don't Fight or Kick Like They Used to Do
 Long Ago.

"No, prisoners don't fight like they used to- said Warden Newman at the police station yesterday q remember, several years ago, when 1t was not an extraordi- nary occurrence for a man when arrested for some light offense to turn on the off, cer and fight like tiger Sometimes 1t required two or three men to hold him down, and then after being put in the Black Maria the prisoner would pound on the door with his heels until he broke 1t. Now you seldom ever see anything like that. Not one prisoner out of a hundred tries to resist the arresting ol..cer, and the patrol wagon is rarely ever damaged
 How do you account for the changer" asked one of the crowd who usually sit around the office.
 "I don't know exactly" said Warden Newman, unless it is that people are be- coming more civilized, or probably 1t is the difference in the way policemen now handle men. In years gone by officers had a habit of jerking men around when they were arrested, and naturally this would get up their fighting blood, but now they merely tell man he is under arrest and give him to understand that he has got to go to the station"
 A policeman then spoke up: "Yes, that's right. Most men are easy to handle If you will give them to understand that the off, cer is merely doing his duty and has no personal feeling in the matter of making the arrest. I find that men no matter in what condition, like to be spoken to kindly. But there are some you just simply have to knock on the head before they will get civilized, and take things easy.'

AMUSE MENTS.

The Olympia Opera Company will close its engagement at the Auditorium tonight and should be greeted by full house. The company presented "Olivette' at matinee yesterday, and every part was fully sus- tained while the chorus did excellent work. Miss Kendall and Miss Wood, as Bathilde and Olivette, respectively, were in excellent voice, and the pretty little opera was ren- dered with splendid effect.
 At night "The Princess of Trebizonde" was the bill, and while the music Is not catchy, much humor is found in the story itself, giving the comedian, MT. William Hicks, full opportunity to display his tal- ent.

Those who believe that Jim Corbett
and Jim Jeffries will clash at an early
date are likely to be bit disappoint-
ed. writes Macon. In the first place.
Jeffries' left arm. the tendons OF which
were torn and injured by a medicine
ball" while he was in training for his
bout with Tom Sharkey, Is far from
being well. There Is bare possibility
that 1t will never be as sound as 1t was
before the accident. Jeffries knows
that II Corbett gets into anything like
first-class condition he will not be an
easy man to defeat. Corbett Is fully
aware Of the extent of Jeffries' in
juries. and | have no doubt that 1t
was because of that information that
he was so DESTROYS OF getting the first
chance at the champion. That Is one
reason for the doubt. Another is the
fact that Jefrries will not risk hisNep-
utation with any good man unlesy he
has the assurance that his left arm will
not fail him In the contest. He would
be fool to fight again in crippled
condition. as he was when he mot
sharkey. The fight will take place N
April.
