MARDI GRAS
Preparations Are Being Pushed For
 ward With Vigor

Preparations for the coming Mardi Gras celebration, which falls on February 26-27. are being pushed forward and in few days will begin to assume tangible form so to speak.
 The floats are in process of building, and Contractor Evans promises that they will be completed in ample time for the cele- bration.
 At a recent meeting of the Carnival so- ciety the details of the celebration were carefully gone over, and ample provision made.
 The officers and committees are actively at work and are meeting with the hearty cooperation of the merchants and rail- roads, The selection of Rex" the king of the carnival, will be made in a few days. Quite number of prominent men aspire to the throne, and the contest, while it will be friendly, nevertheless promises to be warm. Several beautiful young women are mentioned as queen, but as the selection of liner royal highness" is vested in the king, as to whom she shall be, depends entirely upon the selection of Rex.

AN AFTERNOON WITH
 MAYOR OF THE CITY

"This has been a record-breaker," said Mayor Drennen as he was preparing to leave his office yesterday afternoon. Since early this morning I have been beseiged with applications for charity in the form of permits, free license and what not until ten to these appeals
 The door opened and in walked a we'll known citizen and with him young fel- low whose ruddy cheeks bespoke his Ger man nativity, while the cut of his clothes emphasized the fact that he had not long left the shores of the ''fatherland."
 The gentleman handed the mayor an order from a prominent charity organization for a half rate ticket to neighboring city, and the required amount of money as per the arrangement with the railroads.
 "On what grounds do you request this?' asked the mayor in modulated tone.
 'He is a tailor" came the reply, and IS unable to secure work in the city It is pos sible that he may find something to do in A. He has only recently arrived from Germany and is without money. He Is willing to work, but there is none for hlm.
 The mayor promptly instructed his secre- tary to issue the ticket which has by this time served the young German to good purpose, and perhaps will be the means of securing him a position at his trade.
 The last official act of the day having been completed, Mayor Drennen took his departure, and scarcely had he turned the corner before a wan, weak woman ascended the stairs leading to his office. Her form was bent with the weight of care, although beneath the deep lines of her face could be seen traces of youth, tine vigor of which had succumbed to the ravages of poverty. Her thread-bare dress, rent at the elbows, and her care-worn countenance told her story; 1t needed no interpretation. gen. tie knock at the door, and reporter, who had been left alone with pile of statistics regarding city affairs, bid her enter.
 "Is the mayor imp she asked, casting a glance at his empty chair, the location of which she well knew from previous visits.
 No; he has just left the office," replied the newspaper man, looking up from his work.
 A look of disappointment came upon the face of the poor woman as she turned to go. What shall I do?" she muttered.
 Instinctively the reporters fingers sought his vest pocket, and as he brushed by her on the stairway going out he handed her a coin, which perhaps tided her over the night, only to again face the bangs of want

WILL GIVE IT HIS
 HEARTY SUPPORT
Congressman Bankhead TalkSof
 the Proposed Canal.
FEELS DEEPLY INTERESTED
Cannot Attend the Conference Soon to be Held, But Will Use His In fuence in Washington-Of
 for the Capital

Captain John H. Bankhead, representa- tive in congress from the Sixth Alabama district, was in the city yesterday, en has been at his home in Fayette since the holidays at the bedside of Mrs. Bankhead, who has been seriously i'll. Mrs. Bank head, however, has sufficiently recovered to accompany her husband to Washington.
 Replying to the query of an Age-Herald reporter, Captain Bankhead said he would be unable to come to Birmingham next week or at amy other time in the immediate future to meet the citizens of this district for consultation on the Birmingham canal question.
 In the course of the conversation Cap tain Bankhead said: q feel a deep interest in this canal, and shall do all in my power to further it in congress. The question of an appropriation for its building will come up before the rivers and harbors commit tee in short time and when 1t does Bir- mingham will have to send delegation to Washington to present the matter to the committee. That is the only way the ap propriation can be secured, and Birmingham will have to look after that part of the work.
 ''I don't know what advantage could be gained by my returning to Birmingham for a conference with the Commercial club and the citizens of the district. I have a gen. eral knowledge of the subject and know about what Birmingham wants. I might learn a little more of the details of the canal scheme were to attend the suggest ed conference, but that would result in no additional advantage. I might be able to explain a few things to those interested and give them some information along the lines to work, but the same result can be accomplished without such a conference as has been suggested
 "I believe the rivers and harbors commit tee will recommend an appropriation for this work
 Do you think it probable that congress will make an appropriation for the canal?" was asked
 'I think 1t very probable" replied Cap tain Bankhead. "If the proper effort Is made at the proper time believe congress will authorize the building of the canal"
 Captain Bankhead is a member of the rivers and harbors committee, and will bring every influence to bear on the other members in the interest of the canal.
 Captain and Mrs. Bankhead left at 44O p. m. over the Southern for Washington.

The man to whom Sabin sat next, noticed that, at the sound of the gong for the third round Sabin leaned heavily against him, and at the conclusion of the fight when he arose to leave the building Sabin fell to the floor.

The prolonged session of the United States court will probably end today. The session has covered some three months, an unwonted space of time for the perform ance of the duties of the court; but the calendar has been burdensome beyond pre- vious experience.
 His honor, Judge Boamar, has presided over the court, and he has commended him self to every attorney and to every man whomsoever having to do with the court. Judge Boarman has shown forth a gentle, beautiful, an unfailing courtesy, and withal has demonstrated that he was judge of justice.
