PAPER BOX FACTORY
Will Be Established Here Some time in
 the Fall

W. B. Thompson, manager of the Chat tanooga Paper Box Factory, who was in Birmingham recently Investigating the ad- vantages of this city for paper box fac tory, has decided to remove his plant here next fall if he can be assured of suffi- cient amount of business to justify him in doing so. He says he would bring his plant here now but for the fact that the trade has been about supplied for the sea- son.
 MT. Thompson says he is very much pleased with the conditions he found here and that he is desirous of establishing a factory in Birmingham for the manufact- ure of paper boxes. MT. Thompson was assisted in making his investigations through the board of trade.

Inception of the Movement


 At the meeting of the Commercial club held in February a committee was ap pointed to secure for the city of Birming ham one of the guns captured from Span ish vessels during the war in 1898. This committee, of which Sterling A. Wood was chairman, immediately got in communica- ton with Hon. Oscar w. Underwood, the able and distinguished representative in congress from the Ninth district, which includes Birmingham. Mr. Underwood took the matter up with the secretary of the navy and early in April was informed that one of the guns taken from the Cris- tobal Colon had been set aside for Bir- mingham. It is now here and in place, to be seen by every one who desires to look at it. The gun is what is known as 57 millimeter that is, it discharges ball 57 millimeters in diameter. Fifty-seven millimeters are equal to 2.244 inches lineal measurement.
 The ceremonies at the park were very in- teresting, and perhaps the most interest ing feature was the presence of Col. H. A. Herbert, secretary of the navy during President Cleveland's last administration,
  acceptance of the naval portfolio was chairman of the house committee on naval affairs. Col. Herbert, while a member of congress-, was the most aggressive man in the body on questions pertaining to a great CT navy, and to him more than any other man is due the present standing of the United States as a naval power and as one of the world powers. Every vessel ex- eeDt one engaged in the battle of Santiago was authorized while he was chairman of the naval committee of the house and was commissioned into service while he was secretary of the navy. In view of these facts the most appropriate thing the Com mercial club could do was to have Cor Herbert here when the presentation of the gun to the city occurred.
 The Exercises
 After the gun had been placed in posi- tion, MT. Wood arose and stated the cir cumstances surrounding the removal of the gun to Birmingham and what efforts had to be made to secure it. He said that Con- gressman Underwood had requested 1t of the navy department and that it had been loaned to the city at his solicitation. He said MT. Underwood had been invited to be present on the occasion then being cele- brated, but that his duties had prevented him from accepting the invitation. He read the following letter from MT. Under- wood:

Spanish Cannon Placed in
 Capitol Park.
ACCEPTED BY MAYOR
Impressive Ceremonies Which Were Participated in by Civic and MfIi- tarY Organizations Addresses
 byCOis. Herbert and Sanford

Birminghams trophy of the Spanish American war now rests on a stone foun- dation at the south entrance of Capitol park, where it was placed yesterday after noon with befitting ceremonies in the pres ence of two or three thousand men, women and children.
 At o'clock Hon. Sterling A. Wood, chair man of the Commercial club committee ap- pointed to secure one of the captured Span ish guns for Birmingham in a short and appropriate speech presented the gun to the city, Mayor Drennen accepting it in behalf of the municipality.
 Preceding the presentation a procession composed of military and civic organiza- tions and of citizens marched through the principal business portion of town, the line of march being from First avenue and Eighteenth. street to Twenty-frst, thence to Second avenue, to Nineteenth street, thence to Fifth avenue and across to TWen- teth street, thence to Capitol park, where the various organizations passed before the reviewing stand, which stood Mayor Drennen, Colonel II. A Herbert, former secretary of the navy; Colonel w. J. Sam ford, of opelka, democratic nominee for
 
 the Commercial clubs gun committee, and other gentlemen.
 Its History Interesting
 Arriving at the park the gun was placed on the stone Ioundation which was orig inally put there for a Confederate monu- ment foundation. This stand was presented to the city for the use of the gun by Camp Clayton, Sons of Confederate Veterans, which organization had it built there sev- eral years ago.
 The Spanish gun, which now to all prac- tical purposes belongs to Birmingham, will in future be pointed to as one of the his toric sights of the city. It was taken from the Cristobal Colon, one of Spains mighti- est war vessels, after the memorable bat tie off the coast of Cuba fought between the American and Spanish fleets on the third day of July, 1S9S That battle, fully described in The Age-Herald at the time, was one of the most noted naval battles ever fought, and practically ended the Hispano-American war. The Cristobal Colon, after being hemmed in at Santiago for several weeks, made a daring dash for liberty and for almost sixty miles showed the Americans clean pair of heels. Fate was against the brave sailors and the mighty engine of warfare of the infant king across the Atlantic, and while hug ging the shores of fair Cuba, American shells sent them to the bottom of the Caribbean sea. Aiabamas Hobson raised the vessel and her armament sent to the ordnance depot of the navy depart ment.

question of what treatment should be
made of plague cases the Doctor said:
"Send for a physician"
In reply to a question of what to do
about rats the speaker said he had
little hopes of doing much of anything
with them; a few might be caught
alive in traps. These should be killed
and burned. He did not advise at
tempting to poison them; that might

If a dead rat were found he would ad-

the spot where it was found burned
also.
There is no medicinal remedy for
plague known; a serum has been dis
covered which is obtained by making
culture of the germ, killing it and
then securing an extract from the
dead germ. This is prophylactic; it
should be used before the case devel-
ops, to be most effective, although it
has worked well when used in the ear

been very successful elsewhere. The
Board of Health is now engaged in the
attempt to produce some of this serum,
although it will be some time before
it is ready.
