LOCAL COTTON RECEIPTS
Are Increasing and Congresses Are
 Now at Work

Birmingham's cotton receipts are increas- ing every day, but the rush at the com presses will not begin before about the middle of October. This week the wagon cotton marketed here has amounted to something like 50 bales a day and shipped cotton has been handled at the congresses at the rate of about 150 bales day.
 The two congresses in operation have a capacity of 1600 bales day, and in two or three weeks from now they will have all they can do to keep their platforms clear This seasons crop will give the Birming- ham compreses 100O00 to 105,00O bales. Had not the crop been reduced by the summer rains the receipts here would have been not Jess, it is reasonable to suppose, than 125 900 bales.
 Good mlddling brought 10c yesterday. This grade has sold as high as 10Bc, but 10 to i01sc have been about the ruling quo cations.

THE GREAT SEWER
 FOR JEFFERSON
And the Work Necessary For Its
 Construction.
BEVERAGE PURIFlCATION
Street Commissioner McCartin Makes Some Timely Suggestions as to Dealing With the Sewerage
 of Birmingham.

MT. Motion was engaged yesterday select ing the members of the committee who are to take the sewerage question into prac- tical consideration and present it to the Jefferson County Board of Revenue and the City Council of Birmingham. The plan now is to persuade these two official boards to order a preliminary survey of the canal to be made and when the route is decided upon to take the matter before the Alabama Legislature and have a bill passed authorizing the county to issue bonds. Then work will begin on one of the greatest enterprises ever instituted in Jons valley, or in fact, in the State of Ala bama.
 The sewerage canal will begin in the out skirts of East Lake, and will extend down the valley through Birmingham and the western suburbs of Bessemer and through the mountains. and will probably empty into the Warrior river.
 As there is already one injunction suit pending against the city of Birmingham regarding the emptying of sewage on farm lands outside the city, another question has risen. Street Commissioner McCartin has proposed that the sewage be purified so as not to pollute streams or lands. While he was in Milwaukee attending the conven- tion of the League of Municipalities he talked with several eminent experts on this subject, and he says the sewage can be so purified that it will in no wise pol lute land or water. He says in London immense vats have been erected called sep tic tanks, and through these the drainage from the entire city Is run. The vats are darkened, and as soon as the sewage pours into them bacteria begins to work and the solid matter is rapidly consumed and the water runs out as pure as that drawn from the hydrants This system is also used in Massachusetts. In the city of Berlin the sewage runs over an immense sand bed and is filtered the solid substance accumulat- ing in great quantities. This is used as fertilizer.
 MT. McCartin thinks by the use of the septic Yats the sewage from Birmingham and suburbs can be so purified that there will be no objections from the farmers who have lands abutting the sewer.
 Mr. Motion will probably complete his work of selecting the committee today or tomorrow, and the members will immedi- ately take the matter into consideration.

NEW COMMUNITIES.
Prediction Of Dr. Ocborne.

'"There is no question in my mind ut that whole communities who now suffer from the bad effects of coffee would lz9. revolutioniZed if they knew of the actual facts regarding the use of coffee and the help that could be obtained from the use of Postum Cereal Food Coffee. In my own case coffee produced dizziness, heart pa1pi- tation and sallowness of complexion. When I abandoned the ordinary coffee and took up Postum the difficulties were removed" Rev. w. N. Ogborne, Hammonton, N. J.
 Some people, when trying to break off the coffee habit, feel the lack of the stimu- lant so much that they mix half coffee and half Postum, then gradually reduce the amount of coffee until they drink Postum alone.
 Most people can break off from coffee at once if they can have the Postum Food Coffee for the taste of the two is so much alike that many times the change is not noticed. The user invariably improves in health, and in a menthls time shows a marked change for the better.

All, HOW P|T|FUL
 4 WHOLE CITY FULL
And Friends There Was None To Help Heartbroken
 Mother.

A sad case of poverty and grief has been brought to the attention of the police au- thorities of Birmingham.
 In little room on the top floor of a lodg- ing house in Twenty-first street a little dark-eyed woman sat all day yesterday piteously sobbng. On little table by her side lay the dead body of her little Swear old boy, who had fallen a prey to the rav- ages of pneumonia. But for the lines of grief and despair In her face the mother would have been beautiful. Between heart rending sobs, to Chief of Police Austin she told her little story
 Her name is Mrs. Annie Wilson, and for several months she has been employed as a clerk at one of the leading dry goods stores. Her husband died a year or two ago and left her the charge of a pretty lit- tie boy. All went well for while, and she was happy to be able to return to her little room after finishing her daily work to be greeted by the bright little fellow whom she called Wyatt Finally the baby grew ill, and Mrs. Wilson had to leave her work to see to his wants Soon her money gave out, and as despair had almost settled upon her the little boy died. Friends came to sympathize with the grief-stricken wo- man, but like herself they were unfortu- nate and could not render financial assist ance. As soon as her first grief subsided the fact dawned upon her that she was un- able to give the boy she had borne and loved so dearly respectable burial. Her condition was indeed pitiable.
 Chief Austin, hearing of the case, called upon the poor woman and by his kind of- fees lifted some of the great weight from her heart.
 Mrs. Wilson says her father was a Mason and Chief Austin promised her that he would see the Masons and ask that they help her.
 Though working in dry goods store, the poor woman says she was unable to join the clerks union, as she had not money 10 pay her dues. The union will also be asked to help her.
 Gordon & Loy, the undertalkers, have have taken in hand the necessary funeral arrangements, and after giving the dead baby boy Christian burial they will look to the charity of the people for the actual expense incurred.

The Belle of New York

Tonight will be gala night at the Jef- ferson theatre, when "The Belle of New York blossoms into view. Glorious is she In new finery, new scenery, and with bat talion of newcomers in the cast. She is practically the same invigorating, blithe- some, rollicking Belle" that captivated the country two seasons ago, and then crossed over to London to play havoc with the scores of nobility, again proving 1t to be a fact that we Americans are beginning to do things this better than they do them- selves.
 "rhe Belle will hold the boards for one night only, but whether the house can ac- commodate the multitude that will seek an entrance to the performance, is prob- lematical theory. Beulah Dodge is the beau- tiful, demure Salvation Army iassie, and Is more debonair than ever. As the sleeping, flirting little Parisienne, Mae Sailor will be seen to excellent advantage. Another iml portant feature is E. J. Connolly as the elder Bronson. Among the other notables in the cast are James Darling George Toll- man, Arthur DeagOn, Joseph Kane, La Belle Dasle, Flo Perry, Grace Rutledge Err mimic Earle and the beautiful and shspsls chorus.

Oliver scott's MinstreIs

With the advent of the theatrical season, numerous companies have put out their announcements for popular favor Oliver Scott's big minstrel, company that has been successful all over America, will make Its appearance in this city the com ing week. The novelty of this attraction lies in the fact that Is is composed eXclu- sively of genuine negroes, forty in num- Der. The name "minstrels' is applied to the organization for want of more com prehensive title. Of course there is 0 regular minstrel first part, but with this company quite different from all others, as it is costumed in a magnificent manner and is intended to represent the refined side of the negro, from the plantation to the parlor. Good old time minstrelsy has it's inning in the big cake walk, the ''pas-ma- la" dance and the good old plantation dtties. There is a speciality contingent that will do credit to any organiza ton, either white or black. The company wi1 appear at the Auditorium Monday and Tuesday, October 1 and 2, with matinee performance.

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS COMPANY WILL ABIDE
BY APPELLATE DIVISIONS DECISION.

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS COMPANY WILL ABIDE
BY APPELLATE DIVISIONS DECISION
In order that the question as to its right to
charge a ten cent fare 10 Coney Island may he
passed upon by the Appellate Division Of the Su-
preme Court the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Com
pany has arranged for a friendly suit in which
Arthur Barnet, OF Manhattan. asks for 500 in dam
ages for being forcibIy elected from a Coney
Island because he refused 70 pay an extra fare
Professor Collin, Of Sheehan & Collin, the counsel
for the railroad, said yesterday that if the Ap
pellate Division after listening 10 the argument in
this should decide that ten cent fare is il
legal the Brooklyn Heights Company would at
once restore the five cent rate without carrying
the contention any further. It is evident that the
company wishes to forestaU legal action by others
If possible, especially the petition hands
OF the Attorney-Ceneral for a revocation of the
company's charter.
Professor Collin appeared before the Appellate
Division yesterday morning and explained the com
pany's plan. II seems that John W. Hutchinson
lawyer for Arthur Barnet. who brings the suit
held a conference with Professor Collin in the
Offices OF the Brooklyn Heights Railroad and they
came to a decision agreed state OF facts
Barnet had paid MS extra fare about twenty times
but refused 10 do so the day he was elected.
1t is the desire OF the counsel for the railroad
company TO have the NIcNulty case argued before
the Appellate Division the same day that the
Barnet case comes up. For this reason Professor
Collin asked that the latter argument be adjourned
until next Monday He had endeavored ne said.
70 see Mr. Baldwin, counsel for Mr. McNulty. in
order get his assistance in the affair but learned
that he would not be in town until tomorrow. AIr
Hutchinson consented TO have the case go over.
and II was set down for next Monday.
In speaking OF the action Professor Collin said:
II the counsel for the railroad company were
wrong in advising the company that ten cent
fare TO Coney Island could be justly charged then
the company is anxious to correct its position and
reduce the fare 10 five cents, as formerly But I
think they right.
