Entertainment for New Hospital
 To Lead the Winter GaietieS

At the recent meeting of the United Workers of Hillman Hospital that was held in the parlors of the First Methodist Church. the plans for the entertainment to be given in December were discussed With that degree of enthusiasm and interest that insures success of all movements in which Birmingham women become inter ested The deepest interest is being taken in arranging for this entertainment that will be given at the height of the brilliant social season, and as the affairs for charity held in other cities are always the most fashionable and popular events of the win ter, so will the forthcoming event for one of Birmingham's greatest charities be the distinctly smart event of the season The board of managers of the hospital includes a number of the most prominent women in Birmingham, and especially is the name of Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, the president of the board identified with this institution of charity. It has long been the greatest desire of her heart to see a magnificent new building upon the present hospital site, and the fact that every day patients are turned away by reason that all the private and charity wards in the hospital were already overcrowded, is pitiable condition when a more commodious build
 
 of the needy cases. The convenient and accessible location of the Hillman Hospital is greatly in its favor, for a city demands hospital facilities in close proximity to its network of railroads and to what is called the heart of the city. The present site of the hospital will lend itself admirably to an imposing structure that will lift its head with the other magnificent new buildings that are to flank the streets with stone and brick. With the new structures to be erected, notably the Hotel Hillman, the Hotel Cynthia, the sky scrapers of stone and brick and steel, the superb new Hillman Hospital should be the conspicuous building in this group It should be Birmingham's Bellevue. It should be to the heart of Birmingham what that marvellous hospital is to the heart of New York
 Another meeting of the executive board of the United Workers is called for Friday morning, June 29, at 10 o'clock at the First Methodist Church, and the women of Br mingham and adjacent suburbs are not only cordially invited but urged to he present. The following chairmen of com- mittees were appointed at the last meet ing: Advertising, Mrs Joe Sterne, rail- roads, Mrs. Sid Jones; booths, Mrs. c. A Tyson; entertainments Mrs w. B. Leedy.

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
Boer Forces Cont nue to Harrass the
 British

London, June 27-S:20 a. m.-The Boer commanders in the easctern part of the Orange River Colony appear to have been broken up by their leaders for the time into small parties that harass large col umns of the British necessarily, cutting off scouts, sniping pickets, making a show of force here and there and bewildering the slow-moving columns. Commandant Chris tian Dewet, General Steyn's principal com mando, is the genius of these guerilla op- erations. He is the hero on the Boer side in these last days of hostilities.
 Lord Roberts columns are steadily con- tracing the circle of their advance.
 Transvaal officers who were interviewed yesterday at Machadodorp by correspond ent of the Daily Express asserted an in- tention to hold out to the last. President Kruger will probably retire to Waterval Onder, or Nelspruit. His physician thinks his condition ol health will not allow him to go to the high veldt.
 The British prisoners at Nooit Godacht are now more comfortable. Large quanti ties of food and blankets have been for Warded to them and their enclosure is lighted by electricity.

SAD DEATH OF YOUNG
 WOMAN AT FLORENCE
Slse Died Without Friends OF Relatives at Her Bedside-Last Rites Were Per
 formed by Fellow Students.

Florence, June 6.-(Special )--The funeral of Miss Francis Baird in this city yes- terday afternoon at o'clock was one Of the saddest events that have occurred in Florence in many day. A handsome young woman, just beginning the most promising part of her life, has passed away in the city hospital, without a relative at her bedside and with none but strang- CTS to perform the last sad rites. Miss Baird came here during the last fall, and entered the State Normal School to fit heY- self to become a teachey.
 She was a hard worker a close student and possessed of the most beautiful dis position, being favorite with all those with whom she came in contact, especially the bevy of girls with whom she boarded. She was taken i'll with typhoid fever three weeks before commencement, and though she was desperately i'll for several weeks, it was thought until two weeks ago that she was improving slowly. Her mother and sister came to visit her. but as the patient was progressing nicely and their presence seemed only to excite the daughter, they were allowed to return to their home at Oak Bowery, near Opelika. On Friday it was seen that the young lady could not live and her parents were telegraphed to come to Florence
 The father answered that he would come, but had not reached the city yesterday afternoon, and nothing more could be heard from the family, though numerous telegrams were sent The funeral services were conducted at the city hospital, where the sufferer had been for four weeks, Rev. Richard Hall officiating, and kind strang- CTS covered the moend in the cemetery with beautiful flowers.

TroubaiOuFs and Dances
 At the Country Club

It having been faintly but publicly inti- mated by prominent member of the NIX on House Syndicate" who is noted for the delieacy but pepetrating character of hts satirtcal remarks that members of the Country Club may yely in future upon al- ways finding music at the clubhouse for dancing on Thursday evenings, except when 1t Is absent" the amusement commit tee begs to state in self-defense that the draught being notoriously bad in the chim- neys, the supply of wood out, and every body's winter coat in campbor, it was the united judgment of such wisdom as the committee has under contyol that only a few, if any members of the club, would brave the various kinds of elements in evidence last Thursday and go out to North Birmingham. It is the unexpected, how ever, that always happens, and it appears that a great many members did go out and found nothing there but variable cleo tric lights and cool breezes To these dis appointed members the amusement com mitte begs to make it's profound apologies (the satirical member not being one of the number). An affidavit properly executed, signed and framed will now be found up- on the bulletin board, stating that no or dinary storm will in future prevent the four troubadours (who have been engaged for the season), from being found in the ball room at S:30 o'clock every Thursday evening. The committee mildly suggests however, just as matter of abstract jus tice, that the telephone at the clubhouse is usually in order now, and that the new steward MT. Belcher, always knows what is going on, and what members may expect to find, if they take the trouble to ring up.
 The ill-fated musicale having been post poned twice, owing to the aforesaid large quantities of weather, the committee Degs to postpone it now until summer time.
 On tomorrow evening there will be the troubadours and dancing, but on Thursday evening, July 5, the amusement commit tee begs to announce the engagement eX- traordinary of the justly famous "McFlib- berry Family in their refined musical specialties, under the management or a well-known member of the club, who mod estly refuses to haVe his name to be pub lished. Something new and pleasing, not to say startling, may be confidently ex- pected from the remarkable family under the above named auspices. The club dance will follow as usual.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
 Indigestion

The national disease of Americans is in- digestion in its chronic form, dyspepsia, and for the very reason that it is so com mon many people neglect taking proper tratment for what they consider trifing stomach trouble, when a matter of fact, indigestion lays the foundation for many incurable diseases. No person with wig orous, healthy stomach will fall a victim to consumption. Many kidney diseases and heart troubles date their beginning from the poor digestion; thin, nervous people are really so because their stomacns S;e out of gear; weary, languid. faded out women owe their condition to imperfect digestion
 When nearly every person you meet is afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur prising that nearly every secret patent medicine on the market claims to be a cure troubles when in fact, as Dr. ce..aier says, there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which is perfectly safe and reliable, and moreover, this remedy Is not patent medicine, but it is scientific combinati lion Of pure pepsin (free from animal matter). vegetable essences, fruit salts and bis muth. It is sold by druggists under name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. No extray- agant claims are made for them but for indigestion or any stomach trouble, Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets are far ahead of any remedy yet discovered. They act on the food eaten, no dieting is necessary. simply eat all the wholesome food you want and these tablets will digest it. A cure results, because all the stomach needs is a rest which Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets give by doing the work of digestion.
