The circus has arrived.
 Many a Birmingham lad, who for days has read the show bills and at nights has drea anned of elephants, clowns and gaudy attired acrobats will awake this morning to have his fondest hopes realized in the bilaowy clouds of canvas which stretch two blocks from Avenue A and Twenty fifth street. forming the tents for the Adam forepaugh- Brothers circus.
 At o'clock this morning four special trains brought the big circus over the Louisville and Nashville Railroad to Bir mingham. Notwithstanding the early hour great crowds gathered around the cars and watched with morbid curiosity the unload ing of the show. Teams of large gray horses, sometimes in twos and sometimes in eights, were drawing the heavy menag- erie wagons from the flat cars, tent poles were being thrown to the ground, and this together with the rough shouts from the bosses, the popping of whips and the growl- ing of imprisoned animals, made it a scene of bedlam.
 The doors to the main entrance of the cir GUS will be opened to the public d 1 o'clock this afternoon and o'clock tonight, the

STATES SCHOOLS
 ARE PROSPEROUS
The Attendance This Year is the Greatest Ever Known
 in Alabama.

State Superintendent of Education John w. Abercrombe was in Birmingham last night, ell route to Swansea, Blount County, whither he goes today to attend a teachers institute.
 "arhe attendance at the opening of the public schools this fall is the greatest in the history of the State." said MT. Aber- crombie, "and the schools will be kept open a greater number of months than ever be- fore The school fund for the school year beginning with October 1 will amount to about $1,OOO.O00 and probably few thou sand more. As there are about 60,G00 chill dren of school age in the State this gives each pupil about $1.56 or nearly double what it has heretofore been.
 Exclusive of the poll tax the school fund will amount to about s1.29 for each child, A gain of 76 per cent over previous years, assd with the poll tax added the gain will be about 100 per cent"
 In recent years the average term ef the public schools of Alabama has been about three months, but it is estimated that with the fund available for the next schoa2stic year the term will be almost twice as long.

CONSUMED IN THREE HOURS
Lawyer Patrick Explains About the Large Checks Signed by MT. Rice Before His Death-Desires
 Investigation Continued

New York September 27-Only two per- sons as mourners accompanied the body of William Marsh Rice to the Fresh Pond crematory today. The body arrived at the crematory at 12:15. Two carriages followed the hearse In the first was Charles Jones and Dr. Walker Curry In the second was the undertaken. The body was taken out of the coffin in the incinerating room and placed on an iron cradle. Three hours later the inclneradon of the body was completed.
 Lawyer Albert T. Patrick this evening gave out the following statement:
 'Tn my relations with the late William NJ Rice, 1t was recognized that I was the New York attorney for Col O. T. Holt ex- ecutor of the will of MT. Rice's late wife in certain lawsuit pending in the State of Texas. When Capt James A. Baker of Texas, Mir Rice's attorney, and Colonel Holt, the executor. were here last fall, talk ing testimony, I conducted negotiations with them for compromise, and under stood Colonel Holt to authorize a settle ment of all claims for $250,0OO, which amount Captain Baker refused to pay.
 Thinking to serve my client. I conduct ed secret negotiations with MT. Rice from January last to get him to pay the $250,- 900.
 The s250,0O0 In cash was sent to me by MT. Rice last Saturday in my capacity as attorney for MT. Holt, and in satisfaction of all his claims against MT. Rice's estate, the money to be paid by me to Mir. Holt upon his executing full releases to MT. Rice, ac- cerding to previous negotiations. This was followed by MT Rices unfortunate death and hence my effort to certify the check in order to consummate the transaction without delay incidental to administra- tfon.
 1T at once placed the checks in escrow to await the consumation of the transaction.
 "I did not deem 1t proper to speak of this matter to the public until I had trans mitted the information to the parties in- terested."
 Lawyer Patrick said that this settlement wiped out the suits now pending in the fed eral courts of Texas and of the claims orig inaIly to something like s2,OOO,0OO.

DOCTORS FEAR CONSUMPTION
Health Board Discusses tse Disease as
aGreat Danger.

New York.-At a meeting of the
New York board Of health recently
there was an Interesting discussion on
the spread of tuberculosis. In DISGUISE
ing the question Commissioner Cosby
said there were over 10000 cases Of
consumption in this city during the
past year. One Of our most prominent
and successful doctors who has made
special study of tuberculosis ana
pulmonary diseases remarked when
he read the heslth boards report !:
'sThe spread Of consumption, that
dreaded Of all diseases, is principally
due to people deceiving Themselves.
They wont admit that when started
as Eli ht cough has taken deep root
in the lungs, and before they know it
the consumption germ has pregnated
the lungs and Is consuming them
slowly but surely" He further said,
There need be no fear OF the spread
Of consumption If every family kept
a bottle OF Dufy's Pure Malt
Whiskey in the house and admin
istered it to any member of the fam
lily at the approach OF cold or cough
AS soon as you feel the arst symp-
toms take teaspOonful in a glass of
water and continue to do so every two
hours until all signs of the cough or
tcold have disappeared Duffy's Pure
Mslt Whiskey not only cures the
cough and heals the lungs, but il
stimulates the blood to healthy action,
Il is the greatest germ killer and ours-
tive SSoWn 20 science. Over seven
thousand doctors prescribe and recon
mend It for grip, consumption, bron-
ohitis and all diseases Of the throat
and lungs on account Of its absolute
purity aud excellence
Dc. Willard II. Morse, American
director Of the Blreau Of Maaeyis
Medioa, says;
tDuify's Pure Malt Whiskey is the
only reliable and absolutely sure rem.
edy for pneu nonia and consumption.
Ordinary whiskey Is as useless asst ii
dangerous for the came diseases
