Suffrage" About 1900 people attend
ed. The sympathy of the audience
was evenly divided, but Mrs. Gait
made much the better argument and
impression. DR.. Bcatman depended
largely on the scripture. which en-
joins wives to ask their husbands,
and making the husbands the head
and wives the foot, and insisted that
suffrage will deprive the homes OF
the needed care of mothers and de-
prive men of their jobs and offices.
Mrs. Gait said that women are now
taxed without representation, that
equal suffrage will give better and
more moral government, and that IL

said he was wrong.

Hike sparkling champagne" Is the most appropriate description of the per- formance of "Olivette" last night. It can conservatively be said that there has never been cleverer performance of any opera at Lakeview. There was not a dull point in 1t. The audience. too, was mag nificent one and applause and laughter came peal after peal.
 It is difficult to say which number re- ceived the most applause, MT. Ormsby' s serenade, Miss Scholars and Miss Miles duet, MT. Lightwood's Bob Up Serenely," MT. Washburn's comedy work the Torpedo and the Whale. were all splendidly received. In the third act especially the sailor costumes of the boys in pale blue and pink are particularly fetching A new member of the company is MT. Blakeslee, who makes very dig nified and fatherly papa for Olivette.
 A special holiday programme has been arranged for tomorrow, consisting of matinee performance at 3 o'clock and the usual night performance at S:3O. Appro- priate attractions will be introduced at each performance. Arrangements are also being made for handling promptly the large crowds of amusement seekers that will be on hand.

of Birmingham a number of merchants preferred to say nothing more than state they regretted any ill-treatment that might have been accorded the miners and If the latter felt grieved they do not un- derstand why the merchants should have the blame laid on them. They say they had nothing to do with the arrangements of the miners committee regarding hall, but tried to show every courtesy possible to the organization.
 One prominent merchant and a member of the Board of Trade in speaking of the resolution passed said:
 "It is with a great deal of surprise I learn the miners are of the opinion they were treated discourteously. I for one have tried to make their stay in the city as pleasant as possible. It was my idea that they had arranged for their hall along the same lines as heretofore, and do not see how the merchants can possibly the hall may have done.
 "Of course, If the miners feel aggrieved we feel penitent, though we may be in ignorance of the points wherein we may have erred. And too we will be only too glad to make any amends possible, for we all realize the value of the trade re- ceived from the union, and the value and importance of organized labor
 All other merchants questioned about the same tone as that of the gentleman quoted.

FOOD AND WEATHER. Temperature Increased or Reduced By
 Food.

The old army ration for the tropics has been very sharply criticised for the req son that 1t consists of articles of food that any person even slightly acquainted with the elements of food knows Is not adapted to the needs of the human sys- tenn in hot weather. Nature shows forth in the selection of food by inhabitants of various countries; for instance the Esquimaux in cold climate selects heavy, carbonaceous foods, tallow bacon and such; while the Hindoo and inhabi- tants of hot countries turn to the cereals for sustenance.
 We should follow this hint of nature. and particularly In hot weather should avoid much butter, meat or any of that class of food. Perhaps little meat once a day is not amiss even in hot weather. but the breakfast and luncheon should be made of fruit, one or two slices of entire wheat bread and some Grape-Nuts and cream. Grape Nuts are mentioned, be- cause they furnish the ideal cereal food in a most palatable and delicious form, in addition to which, they are ready cooked and require no attention what ever from the cook.
 A person can pass through weather that may be intensely hot, in a comfort able manner. if the food be properly selected, and the above suggestions can be put into practice with most excellent results.

The Commercial Club will meet In their rooms this morning at Il o'clock to take definite action in regard to raising sub scrptions to help defray the expenses of the Third Regiment of the Alabama Ma tional Guard, the encampment of which Birmingham is now making an attempt to secure. At this meeting it is supposed committees will be appointed to co-ope- rate with the Board of Trade in securing subscriptions from the merchants of the city.
 It seems now there Is but little doubt that the 'encampment will be ordered at Birmingham. Huntsville Is still making a strong fight to secure the encampment and has offered some very fiattering prop ositions but Colonel Higdon states that the drawback to Huntsville is the trans portation expenses.
 It is thought an effort will be made to make Birmingham the permanent en- campment grounds of the Third Alabama.
