EXCITING CHASE
After Negro Who Had Used {
 Knife

Much excitement was caused in Nine- teenth street between Second and Third avenues about o'clock last night by the discharge of a pistol, which, however, proved nothing more serious that an at- tempt of an officer to stop a fleeing negro who was charged with a serious crime.
 few minutes before the shooting Ruben Dorsey became engaged in quarrel with Emmett Vaughan, another negro, near the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street, and made an effort to carve him with knife. Officer Eagan was summon ed and Dorsey took to his heel, closely followed by the officer, who came upon him in Second avenue, between Nineteenth and Twentieth A scuffle ensued in which the officer was showed against a wagon tongue and toppled over.
 As soon as the officer regained his feet he fired in the air to frighten the negro, which, however, only served to make him run faster. Officer Cunningham, who was the shooting, and made lunge at Dorsey as he ran into Nineteenth street, and just as he regained his equilibrium Special or ficers Bodeker and Disheroon, who came upon the scene, brought the negro to a halt at the point of their pistols.
 Dorsey was locked up in the city prison, charged with disorderly conduct and as sault with weapon.

RAGE MEET TO BE
 PULLED OFF MAY 8 Some Excellent Sport Promised
 at Coliseum Track. CRACK SPRINTERS ENTERED Bob Walthour, Russell Walthour and R. I. Johnston Among the Riders
 Already Secured-Local Men
 Interested in Management
CRACK SPRINTERS ENTERED

Active training has been going on for some time at the Coliseum bicycle racing track, and prominent riders, spurred on by the excellent work of the men, have leased the park and will pull off a big race meet May g.
 The meet will be of only one nights duration, and the crack sprinters are anxious to get their names entered on the card There will be several big events, and some real sport is promised to the lovers of the wheel.
 Among the crack riders who will par ticipate are Bobby Walthour of New York, the great six-day rider; Russell Walthour of Atlanta, and R. l. Johnston, promi- nent road racer of Pittsburg.
 The career of Bobby Walthour is we'll known by his wonderful record established at Madison Square Garden during the win ter. He will be entered in the professional events and will run a pursuit race with any outside professional the management can secure to put up against him.
 MT. Johnston is in the city, having re- gently arrived from Pittsburg and will at- tempt to show the southern amateurs a few tricks in peddling. He won three out of four twenty-two mile road races last summer, and is anxious to go against some of the strong ones from the south
 Messrs. Stubbs and Whaley, who will manage the coming meet, have not com- pleted the programme yet as all the tries have not been slated, but they prom ise one of the best nights sport ever seen at the Coliseum track.
 Among the prominent riders who will take part in the races are Bob Walthour, Russell Wathour, R. I. Johnston, E. Rob- erts, Robert Stubbs, Willard Hawthorn, Tom Perkins, H. B. Ware, Allie Geis, Burt Roberts, Harry Roberts and many others.
 The track has recently undergone some repairs and is in excellent condition for some fast work. and it would not be sur prising to see several of the track records clipped by several seconds.

 man of Southern Shops

Elks' Minstrels

When solomon exclaimed "there is noth- ing new under the sum-, he had not seen a vaudeville minstrel, such as will be put on at the Jefferson Monday, April 30, under the direction of Prof J. c. Weissner. The Elk men never do anything by the half. This affair promises to eclipse any thing ever attempted in this city. All the features are new, costumes gorgeous, the work of the participants finished and unique. We prophecy standing room will be at a premium. And once there was a little Elk, and his
 name was John; Went to bed at the Morris with his stock
 ings on One shoe off and one shoe on, Tired out completely was this little Elk
 named John.
 Once I had a little goat,
 His name was William Bill;
 lent him to some Elks to ride
 And he is with them still.
 They have petted him and fondled him
 And coddled him until
 He's got so very frisky, none but Elks
 Can now ride William Bill.

PRISON REFORM
 WAS DISCUSSED
Woman's Club Take Up Question
 of City Stockade.
A PRISON MATR0N NEEDED
Officials and Prominent Citizens Appoint Committees to Investigate
 Questions and Report Back

The Womans club has taken up the sub ject of stockade for city prisoners and a matron for the city prison.
 At a meeting of the reform department of the club held in the rooms in Twenty first street yesterday afternoon several min isters city officials and others were present by invitation to discuss the matter. Those present were Dr. L. S. Handley, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church; Dr. J. C.. Murray, rector of the Church of the. Ad- vent; pr. J. P McFerrn, pastor of the First Methodist church; Mayor Drennen, former Mayor J. A. VanHoose, Alderman M. M Williams, Police Commissioner J. II. McCary and Chief of Police Austin.
 The question of stockade for the city prisoners was first taken up. During the discussion that followed it was developed that the city prison, with capacity for 60 prisoners, now has confined in it about 130 men, women and boys, and that in it's over crowded condition it was impossible to pro- vide separate apartments for the men and the women and for the boys. This con
 
 those who discussed the matter should be remedied.
 Former Mayor VanHoose suggested that city farm should be purchased or leased, and that the prisoners should be sent there to work. While mayor of the city four or five years ago, MT. VanHoose advocated such farm, and recommended in one of his communications to the board that the city undertake to provide such a place for the prisoners. At that time the city was not in condition to make an appropriation for farm and the matter was never taken up by the council.
 In his annual message to the council some time ago, Mayor Drennen recom- mended that a stockade be built and this was followed up later by the appointment of committee charged with the duty of Investigating the question. At subse- quent meeting of the board this committee reported favorably on the mayors recom- mendation, and it is understood the ques- tion of a site has been considered. Several of the aldermen are known to be in favor of the city building a stockade and it is probable that at the next meeting the board will adopt the recommendation. The question of matron at the city pris- on was also discussed at the meeting yes- terday, and the opinion seemed to prevail that the council should provide for one. It was urged that by so doing conditions at the prison could be improved. Before adjourning the club authorized the appointment of two committees-one com posed of members of the Woman's club, of which Mrs. Ida Adams is to be chairman, and one to be composed of men, of which Alderman M. M. Williams is to be chair man-whose duty shall be to investigate the questions of a stockade and a matron. The committees are to report back to an- other meeting of the club to be held at an early date.

DELIGHTFUL RECITAL
Misses Reall and Glover Acquitted
 Themselvo., Most Creditably

Miss Lucy BealTs song recital at the conservatory yesterday afternoon, in which Miss Glover as piano soloist and Mrs Guckenberger as accompaniSt, assisted, was a marked success. A large and ap- preciative audience was in attendance, and each number provoked generous applause.
 Miss Beall has contralto voice of good compass, and her vocalization revealed careful study. The pieces she sang were well chosen, but her best work was in Schumann's classic gem, Lovely Cradle of My Sorrow"
 Miss Glover is a brilliant pianist In her first numbers she was nervous, but she fully redeemed herself toward the close
 Altogether the recital was one of the most delightful given in Birmingham this season.

Dealers in Secondhand Postal Cards Com.
pete with the Poat-ofice.
There are half-a-dozen men in New
York who undersell the United States
Government in respect to postal cards.
These men sell four or five million
one-cent postal cards annually at an
average price of nine-tenths of cent
apiece, one tenth of a cent less than
the official price, Notwithstanding that
the cards cost them early half cent,
at least two-sevenths of a cent, and
only cost the government twenty-four
cents a thousand.
The competitors of the Government
are men who buy cards upon which
an address or advertising matter has
been printed, and erase or obliterate
the printing without illegally changing
the card.
They purchase the printed cards in
small and large quantities from all
sources. When two firms consolidate,
the postal cards addressed and printed
belonging to each firm are useless. A
and desiring to inform it's patrons OF
the change usually overestimates the
number of postal cards needed. A
manufacturer in a large way, who
sends out hundreds of thousands Of
cards every year, often decides that
is not satisfactory, and may have a
hundred thousand useless cards on
his hands The post-ofice will not
take them back with money refunded,
and will not issue other cards IN ex-
change for them. These cards are
one-quarter of cent each. The deal
er either erases the printing with
chemicals, by secret process, or OBJ
literates it with glazed wash resemb-
ling ca1cimine. The composition Of
the calcimine is supposed to be Sc
process, but the secret is so open that
other firms have discovered the art
and are practising it in opposition to
the originator The chemical process
leaves the cards like new: the wash
process leaves them, except where the
Government printing is at the top of
the face. any color commonly used.
There are no similar dealers in
stamped envelopes upon which ad-
dresses have been printed. The post
office takes back such envelopes, pay
ing two cents each for the postage
stamp.
