MORE ENGINES
 FOR MEMPHIS ROAD
Increased Business Required Ad-
 ditionaI Rolling Stock.
SPECULATIVEAPPOINT I TMENSS
Successors to the Late Colonel, Atmore Colony of Boers
 to oLocate in Texas

On account of the increased freight traf- fe on the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir- mingham Railroad, four big engines have been added to it's rolling stock These en- zines were transferred from the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis Railroad which is owned by the same people and is operated by the same set of officials The freight traffic of the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham is much heavier than it was year ago. and with the re- vival in the coal trade next month it will be even greater. It is stated that the coal mines along the Kansas City Memphis and Birmingham are not doing as great business at present as are the mines along the Southern. This is accounted for by req son of the fact that the Southern operates large line from Greenville south along the Mississippi. The first named road has no arrangements for shipping coal down the Mississippi and therefore only secures the tonnage that has to be supplied by rail
 si ecaIatiye Appointments
 The presence of Assistant General Pas senger Agent c. A. Benscoter of the South ern Railway in the city yesterday served to revive speculation among local railroad men as to the probable successor to the late Colonel C. P. Atmore, general passen- ger agent of the Louisville and Nashville. MT. Benscoters name has been mentioned in connection with the vacancy and by some newspaper writers it is believed that he will get the appointment. S. H. Hard wick's name has also been mentioned in that connection. Mir Hardwick is assist ant general passenger agent of the South ern, with headquarters in Atlanta and was formerly general passenger agent of the Georgia Pacific, with headquarters in this city. In the meantime the directors of the Louisville and Nashville are taking their own good time in making the selection and are entrusting the passenger traffic busi- ness of the system to Assistant General Passenger Agent Boyd, who is now acting general passenger agent. It is stated on reliable authority that MT. Boyd is dis charging the duties of the office with en- tire satisfaction to the directors of the company. and that when an appointment to fill the vacancy is made his name is most likely to be the one selected. Chairman August Belmont of the board of directors, subsequent to the adjournment in New had been made to any of the vacancies then existing and that the directors were in no haste to fill them.

SUMMER ENCAMPMENT
Regimental Commanders Ordered to
 Confer With Governor

Governor Johnston has ordered the regi- mental commanders of the Alabama Ma ttional Guard to report to him at Montgom- cry, on Tuesday, the 17th instant, for the purpose of a conference in relation to the summer encampment.
 . Mobile has been making an effort to have the encampment located there, and two, if not all three of the regiments may be ordered to that city. But as the encamp- ment is to take place so late in the sum- mer, many of the men and not few of the officers express themselves in favor of Birmingham on the ground of health. | If the citizens of Birmingham will only move in the matter they might easily suc- ceed in securing at least the Third Ala bama, if not the other two. East Lake, with its large mess hall and excellent water supply, is model place for an encamp- ment, and a little activity on the part of the Commercial Club and the Board of Trade would result in loacting the Third at that delightful suburb.

 Dr. FrzsimoDs speaks
 Speaking to the resolutions, Dr. O. P. tttzsimons said there were laws on the statute books against gambling, but he had nothing to say against the gambler; but he did condemn the persistent Violator of the law. He said that when men persstently violated the law they then sowed the seeds or anarchy. He said he had been made to suffer for friendship he had shown to cer- tam individuals. He said he admired Chief Austin, because he is not a coward He said there Was but one man in Brmng- nam that he despised, and that was the coward.
 He referred to. the pending litigation over the Police Commission, and said he was was amused a the grounds set out in the complaint The complaint, he said, alleged ambiguity in the act creating the Police Commission.
 He said he believed the Police Commits slon and Chief Austin had done their duty, ana that If the people of Birmingham will SUCK up to them the laws will be enforced ,. h. Weaver said he admired Chief Aus tin because he did his duty. He said Chief Austih occupied a unique position in his- tory, Tn that he had been enjoined from preventing gambling. He said that it was all right II man can slip around and vio- late the law, but it remained for some one In Birmingham to enjoin the officers from catching him. He said he wanted to do all he could to support Chief Austin in his eHorts to maintain order and peace AL the conclusion of MT. Weaver's speech the question Was called on the motion to adopt the resolutions and they were adopt ed without dissenting vote.
 When the result of the vote had been announced, Dr. J. T. Coulbourne proposed three cheers for Chief Austin, which were given.

A Gastronomic Cyclone.

All men and women eat. If they
don't, they won't last long, and no IL
need worry as to whether they count
for much or not. But good eaters are
usually very objectionable. By good
eaters l do not mean large eaters or
greedy eaters, though l may include
some Of both, but l mean the men and
women who enjoy what they eat and
show NJ disposition. either from dys.
pepsia or other form Of indigestion, to
quarrel with their food.
Gluttons, however, are not very love-
ly. I sat at table once with a woman
at a summer resort who every day for
dinner ate IL ears of corn from the cob.
That is more than the regulation mid
day feed for q horse. And in the opera
ton she creased her hands and her
cheeks, and every nov and again her
nose was decorated with the well but.
tered grains. She was a sight, and at
the end of the table she bred a famine
that it took walters to relieve. And
she was in repose not by any means a
bad looking woman, but in action-in
action at the table-she was a kind of
human cyclone, leaving desolatfon in
her path. She had had three husbands
and is a widow again. What became
of the poor men I never knew. Maybe
she ate them.-John Gilmer Speed In

That BELONGED to Him.


That Belonged to Him.
II won't go out! I won't leave here
for anything"
Such was the amazing declaration of
n pauper attendant in an east end Lon
don workhouse on being told by an
agent that he was entitled to some
money. And the mantle son of n
post captain in the navy-meant all
that he said. Not an inch would he
bulge, nor would he sign any paper,
and it was only by taking a commits
sioncr down to him that the fund
could he recovered.
Whether because it was only n COM
cause he was n worker, the guardians
made no claim on it. Accordingly. at
his request, it was split, and two ac-
counts were opened on his behalf in
the Postofice Savings bank. But, for
NIL that, he continued to remain in the
workhousc.
Meanwhile he was very anxious that
bis wife should not know he was alive
in fact, he denied that he was mar
ried. His life partner, however, called
at the agents office to inquire about
the case, though she begged that her
husband might not be told Of her
whereabouts. She was in a fairly
good position, earning as she did a llv-
ing by keeping a ladies' school, and
once or twice her reprobate husband
had turned up in nm intoxicated condf-
tion and raised n commotion that had
scandalized her pupils. The ill sorted
pair We're, therefore. not brought into
communication.
Never would the paupcr legatce leave
the w%orkllousc. He remained there till
his death. w%hcreupon, having left no
will, the money he had scorned to use
passed to his wife.-Casselrs Saturday

How to Give n Cat Medicine.

A New York gentleman has a very
fine Angora cat, and so fine n specimen
of her kind that she is famous in n
large circle of fashionable folk. She is
not rugged in health, yet she cannot be
persuaded to take physic. 1t has been
put in her milk, it has been mixed with
her meat, it has even been rudely and
violently rubbed in her mouth, but nev-
er has she been. deluded or forced into
swallowing any of it. Last week n
green Irish girl appeared among the
household servants. She heard about
the failure to treat the cat. Sure"
said she, "give me the medicine and
some lard. and I'll warrant she'll be
ating all l give her." She mixed the
powder and the grease and smeared it
on the cats sides. Pussy at once licked
both sides clean and swallowed all the
physic. "Faith," said the servant girl,
Everybody in Ireland does know how
to give medicine to a cat"

He0Ifne. n hook.

A writer in the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages of
the ordinary book are injurious to the
eye of the reader. The curvature ne
cessitates a constant change Of the TO-
Gus Of the eye rs it reads from one side
to another, and the ciliary muscles are
under a constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides of the page, further interfering
with a continued clear field of vision.
1t is suggested that the difficulty might
be obviated if the lines should be print
ed parallel to the binding instead Of at
right angles to it.
