IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE

Heavy losses, changes and annoyances 1 threaten thee; see that thou dost not spec uate: those in employ will be more for l tunate."
 Astrologer Raphaels prophecies for Sat 1 urday, November 3, 1900:
 | "Gourt and marry in the forenoon; doubt l ful in the after noon."
 l "Take heed or thou wilt have some trouble in thy business; those in employe
 may lose it; young females should be care fuI of the opposite sex and not believe in promises"
 1 A child born on this day will have. d quiet career, but much will depend upon
 the hour of it's birth; in it's domestic or love affairs it will have much grief" "Brew strong drink; hire maidservants." Mai Frank Y Anderson is engaged in
 formulating the preliminary plans for the proposed International Metallic and Indus trial Exhibition, to be held in Birmingham in 1905, or in some other early year yet to be determined upon. This work is imposed upon him by the general popular demand which found expression in the action of the influential committee appointed by President Kettig of the Commercial Club. It was is, and shall be held without dis senting voice that Major Anderson Is the man of all men for that particular work of vast import to Birmingham and the South. He will GO the work as well and
 wisely as it could be done; and more than that could not be said.
 Major Anderson is d successful man of great affairs, accustomed for twenty years to dealing wisely with great business in- terests. He is a man of strong intellect, powerful will, tireess energy; one ot those firm knit men of resolute purpose and great good character, whom all their fellows gladly acknowledge to be foremost. He Is a man of highest purposes, highest honor of character; and it is entirely natural to be expected that his career is successful. He knows how to deal with men and with
 great affairs, and his place is with the very highest in public regard The pub lie is glad to honor him for the simple
 reason that he deserves honor of the high
 est. Nothing is palmer than that. More
 over he is a man of courtesy, of civility,
 of good breeding, and of wide extended
 mental vision. He has the sight to see
 things and the courage and pertenacity to
 grasp them. When advantageous circum-
 stances are not at hand he makes circu1n-
 
 work Being a man of wide culture he knows how to deal with men and things
 as they present themselves, and he brings them before him.
 Thus Major Anderson is the ideal man
 for the gigantic task which in part he has consented to undertake. His plans for worlds exhibition at Birmingham will be broad and all-embracing of the subject in oil, ,,;ll deal with it in all it's splendif possibilities. Aware that he possesses the complete es- teem and to an extraordinary degree the confidence of the public, it will please him to fill in fullest measure the public expec- tations And when he shall have finished his work of planning, the public will have yet higher and more eXacting duties for him to discharge. Any community, how ever great, would be fortunate in having the counsel guidance, leadership of such man as Frank I. Anderson.
 President Kettig was most fortunate in his international exhibition committee, and | that committee is greatly fortunate in possessing the inestimably valuable ser l vices of Major Anderson. The Commercial | Club has undertaken work in this ex- l hibtion proposition which by comparison | dwarfs all of its previous good work into | mere local concern: and there cannot be | any reasonable doubt that the worlds fair I will be held in Birmingham not later than ! 1905.
 Meantime the people of Alabama have a | great state fair now in progress in this | city, in which the Commercial Club and all | the people are deeply interested. Evidence of this great clubs interest is found in the | fact that it's regular monthly meeting which should have been held this Friday night has been postponed until after the state fair, because the members desire to devote all their energies and attention l to making this fair the greatest possible success" as Secretary Gibson expressed himself yesterday. These members of the | Commercial Club will receive the cordial 1 encouragement of every progressive mind sd citizen of Birmingham. The state fair opened yesterday the greatest fair Ala | bama ever had, and there is the brightest | promise of brilliant success throughout 1 the entire course of the great show. As l matter of course, all the people of Bir- | mingham are expected to give every pos I sible encouragement to the fair. This they 1 can do by taking a hearty interest in the enterprise and attending the exhibition every day. This fair now open is the fore | runner of numerous annual state fairs and | of the worlds great fair to be held in Bir- | mingham five years hence
 The work of paving Second avenue be- l tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets | promises to become as much delayed as 1 was the painfully long and disheartening | paving work in Twentieth street, South. 1 Work in Second avenue was begun more l than two months ago, and it was stopped l altogether last week. When it will be re- l stunned is matter of idlest conjecture. l There is said to be a lack of brick; it was | lack of sand before, and may be some- l thing else next week or the week after l Certainly this delay is not the fault of the | public, the property owners who have l been taxed for the having They should
