AT BUFFALO.
Crowds at the Exposition Now Aver
 age 7o,ooo--Many AIabamians.

Alabama Exhibit, Buffalo, N. r., Au- gust A.--(Special )-After long and ap- parently causeless delay the great crowds are coming at last to the Pan-American Exposition, and now they average 10000 per day. Alabama Is furnishing about twenty-five per day of the ones who are enjoying the sights.
 It now seems that the exposition will be able to save itself and not be a financial failure. The per cent it receives from all the ,concessionaires Is very large and they are doing a good business. The management has recently sold nearly every foot of the vacant space in the ex- hibit buildings to cheap jewelry concerns and other things to catch the eye and wreck the purse and they are doing a land office business to the great detri- ment of the regular exhibators who, after having paid for their space, are about to go unnoticed on account of the bankers and spoilers for the cheap goods coun- ters. Some of the exhibitors are threat ening to close up their exhibit entirely unless they get justice. ,qs,.s. On September 5 there will be one of the largest crowds here that has ever gath cred in this country. The President of the United States will make an address in public at the exposition where 100000 people can hear him, there will be here on that day also all the Supreme Court and cabinet officials of the government. The fireworks display will also surpass all previous efforts in that line in the past and altogether 1t will be red letter day in American history.

GREAT BARGAIN.
The Jesse French Piano and Organ Companys Special lnducement Sale.

The Jesse French Piano and Organ Company expected a large sale last week, but it far surpassed the highest expecta- tions, and Manager Grant was conse- auently in the best of spirits.
 Ever since the 18th inst. the Jesse French Company has been offering special inducements and the public has been quick to take advantage of these rare bargains. There never was such an opportunity for buying fine instrument for little money.
 The way of it is this: A handsome four-story building Is being erected in Third avenue for the Jesse French Com pany. It was to have been completed by October but it is seen now that 1t will not be ready for occupany before November. The company must vacate it's present quarters at the corner of Second avenue and Twenty-first street on the first or October and in order to get rid Of It's stock Is advertising a clearing sale
 Many pianos and organs are disposed of every day, and the probability is. Man ager Grant will have very few. If any. left to store when October comes. There will be a rush this week. Everybody who needs piano or organ can be suited in quality and price.

STRIKING INSTANCE
 OF EXORBITANT RENTS

 "As to the removal of engineers and train crews from Birmlngham,I I happen to know that some of the best engineers of the Louisville-ana Nashville have pur- pose to petition the superintendent to order through ruhsif from tDecafur 10 Mont gomery, in order that they may have their homes in one or the other of those cities and pay nothing more than fair rents! Several removals have been al- ready made, the men going te reside in Decatur or Montgomery and there Is prospect that fully hundred train crews will move out of Birmingham on account of exorbitant rents
 "A train crew consists of five men. The lowest paid man g9s $e4 a month; the highest gets from $lS0 to $200 "a month These wages are paid in cash by the rail road company and the money is. spent here in Birmingham, Anybody can figure out what the loss, ,ief al that ,moJntffSy would mean to Birminghlana- ls ed j1q.-to-
 But 1t is not railroad men alone who are complaining of rents Every man who rents house in Birmingham is com plaining. High rents are building up suburban and other towns at the expense of Birmingham.
 Ask any man who rents house, and you will hear him vigorously protest. House-renters are being imposed upon!"
The age-herald., 1901-08-25

In speaking of the question of high rents, which has been agitated in the Age-Herald, T. S. Pounds. a well known railroad man. said yesterday:
 There is one case in point that is or much interest as illustrating the extra ordinary rise in rents. The hall of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Is on the third floor of the building at the northeast corner of Nineteenth street and Second alley. In the improvement Of thls hall we have spent s4oO or $500 and in It we have furniture that cost us sls0o.
 Recently the building changed hands, and we received notice from the real estate agents in charge that our rent would be doubled at once. This was very startling and we believed 1t to be unfair, and we protested to the agents. but 1t was of no avail The engineers then be- gan to seriously consider the removal of the lodge from high-rent Birmingham to reasonable-rent Bessemer.
 "Thereupon I undertook to go In per son to the Messrs. Schillinger, the new owners of the building in which our hall was situated, and lay the matter before them. I stated the case to MT. August Schillinger, giving him all the facts, n- cluding our. contention that 1t was our lodge which had made the hall desirable. After listening to what l had to say In behalf of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, MT. Schilinger very gener- ously said to me that we could have the hall at our own price! That removed

PORT CAPTAIN WAS NOT LOVED
Returned Members of the Minnesota
Volunteers Are Inclined to
believe Rice Told
the Truth.

The report of the Punishment from Ma
Mia of George #. Rice, for charging
with malfeasance in office Lieut. Brauner-
seuther, captain of the port of Manila,
caused a good deal of comment among
eX-members OF the Thirteenth Minnesota
yesterday. One of them said:
at see that it has fallen to the lot of
a Minnesota boy to show up that man
Braunerseuther. Now, 1 happen to. know
both parties to the controversy, and If
the character and standing of the two
men count for anything, it's dollars to
dOughnuts that Rice is right in his ale
cations, and has just grounds upon
which to base them.
During my stay in Manila had
ample opportunity to observe the conduct
OF the captain of the port towards the
business men of Mania and his subordi-
mates in the army, and know whereof I
speak. I never heard civil or gentle
manly remark come from that man S
lips in answer to a question regarding
the movement of ships, except to those
superior to him in rank in the army and
navy. Woe betide the private soldier
who approached him with a request for
information. The poor soldier was sure
to be insulted and Inundated in the most
cowardly manner for even daring TO ad-
dress his august majesty, the captain Of
the port. But let an officer approch with

formed from the unreasonable tyrant
into the most cringing lic1spittle imagin-
able.
ANY one who knows George Rice
knows full well that he would not dare
10 malign the character of any one,
much less an official of the army without
positive proof that he was right, and ]
think future events will prove this. His
shipping home was doubtless the outcome
of the rule "us army officers must stick
together" backed up by one man power.
AT any ate, you can depend upon it, that
Rice will have a few words to say when
he gets home which will show Mr..
Braunerseuther up in his true light.
There are many officers and men OF
the Thirteenth Minnesota who know that
my statements are correct and that
George Rices reputation for truthful
ness has never been questioned. In that
case, who ought 20 be first boated,"
Braunerseuther or Rice?"

SALVAGE WILL BE SLIGHT
STRAIT SPICE HOUSE WILL BE AL
MOST TOTAL LOSS.

S. c. Tucker, narrowly escaped injury
yesterday afternoon, while passing the
building occupied by H. 2. Strait &: Co,
194 East Third street, which was partially
destroyed by fire yesterday morning. A
piece of glass fell from the third floor of
the building, almost severing the brim of
the mans hat and cutting through his
oVercoat at the shoulder.
About fifteen minutes later Mrs Annie
Gibbons, of South Park, fell on the side
walk in front of Strait & Co. s store and
injured her hip. With assistance she was
able to walk away.
The salvage cops estimated that there
was a loss of $4,000 on the stock of H
r. Strait & Co., which was destroyed by
fire early yesterday morning. This esti-
mate is considered low, as the stock and
machinery were valued at $4,000, and
there was very little salvage. The whole
is insured for a total of $4,000 in fifteen
companies.
The building is owned by Mrs. E. S.
Simpson, a sister-in-law of Richards Cor
don, and is valued al $4,000. The damage
is estimated at $1,000, which is covered
by $4,000 insurance.
