FRANK MILLER
 ID HANG FRIDAY AIonzo Williams Will be Exe- cuted the Same Day TICKETS ISSUED 10 A FEW Miller Has Made Desperate Fight for His Life, But as the Days Go By
 His Chances Are Grad
 uaIly Vanishing.

Tickets were issued by Sheriff Burgin yesterday to the chosen few who. will be allowed to witness the execution of Frank Miller and Alonzo Williams on next Friday.
 The hour set for the hanging of Miller is 10:30 o'clock and Alonzo Williams, the negro, will be ushered into eternity just one hour later.
 The rope has been stretched and chalked, the scaffold built and all Is ready for the double execution of two beings.
 Frank Miller has not yet given up hope and says until the day of his death ar rives he will keep up his fight for life It Is the general opinion that no clemency will be granted by the Governor and that Miller's appeal will go unheeded. An effort will be made to have a rehearing before the Supreme Court but the suc- cess of that effort is problematical. Since his conviction for the murder of Policeman Adams, Miller has left no stone unturned to save his neck from the hangman's moose and as the coil of law tightens more closely around him, like drowning man he clings to every straw in sight. He has made a'remarka- ble fight and many a mans neck has been saved with less effort. The great est impediment to Miliers efforts is that the public seems to be against him. Several women have volunteered to help him, but most of them are residents of foreign states. On the other hand, the Police Relief Association of Birming- ham has circulated a petition asking the Governor not to commute Miller's sen tence and they are using every effort to see that he receives the penalty as pre- scribed by law and determined upon by a | jury of twelve citizens.
 | Alonzo Williams, the negro. is the mur- | derer of a fellow man of his race and | confesses the crime. He spends the | greater part of his time in prayer

PATIENCE. >
Elaborate Production of This Beautiful
 Opera at Lakeview Tonight.

The Elite Opera Company will begin the second week of its second year in Bir- mingham at Lakeview this evening with an elaborate production of Gilbert and Sullivan's Patience" This opera was first produced just twenty years ago in London and Is recognized as one of the best pieces of music Sullivan ever wrote It is satire on the cult of aestheticism which was so prevalent in English so- ciety a generation ago.
 The story of the opera Is an interesting one. It tells of the love affairs of a pret- ty milkmaid, Patience who was by acci- dent thrown into the society of num- Der of lords and ladies, all of whom were affecting the aesthetic cult She was vio- lently loved by Bunthorne, a+character supposed to satirize the famous Oscar Wilde The situations growing out of this plot are full of dramatic and operatic possibilities which are developed to great est advantage by the playwrights.
 The characters in the opera are very happily cast Walter Drennen is Colonel Calverley, Lorenzo Luckie is Major Mur- gatroyd and Frank Ormsby the Duke Dunstable,e all officers of the Dragoon Guards. Harry Lightwood Is Reginald Bunthorne, a heshly poet and Charles c. Washburn is Archibald Grosvenor, an idyllic poet, these two being the comedy roles of the opera. Miss Moore and Miss Pfester have the parts of Lady Angela and Lady Saphir, respectively, while Norma Schoolar is Lady Jane, the rap tuous maiden. Queen Miles is Patience, the dairymaid.

STEEL MARKET
 HAS BEEN ACTIVE
Demand for Pig Iron Has Not Yet Returned to Nor-
 nal Conditions

The steel market for the past week has been the only really active market of local commodities. The demand for pig iron has been fair but has not yet re- turned to it's normal condition from which it dropped several weeks ago. The slight betterment experienced during the past two weeks has been at the cost of prices.
 The coal market has heen practically at an absolute standstill, almost no sales and few shipments being made other than on long contracts. The lack of de- mand is due to a certain extent to the unrest felt at this time when the miners and operators are trying to reach an agreement for a scale for the coming year.
 The demand for steel continues as brisk as 1t has been for months past. Sales are being made for months in ad- vance, and all products on hand are being shipped with great regularity.
 A slight increase in the demand for pig iron was felt two weeks ago, but this increase dropped off last week when the regular prices were resumed. The ship ments have been fair however, though the companies are hoping for increases at early dates.

REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is a seri- ous one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and when they do, overwork is the usual cause. An affected kidney is an exhausted one, impure blood has weak ened it; the remedy needed is one that will restore strength and rebuild the kid- ney itself. This Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will do It has been doing it for forty five years and no other remedy has ever been held in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out of the blood When the blood is bad the Kidneys get clogged with these poisons. Dr. liar ters Iron Tonic cures by neutralizing the impureties, by hastening their expulsion, by building up the tissues of the kidneys. and by giving these organs more strength and activity. While 1t is curing kidney and urinary troubles 1t is also repairing all the delicate machinery of the body.
 This is the best of all tonics. It does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do. Nor can it do anything but good; 1t is absolutely harm less, and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid young or old. Ordinary iron sometimes harms. but the iron in liar ter's Tonic is in such form that it does no harm. It enriches the blood. strength ems the stomach, and aids digestion. Made by Dr. Harter Medicine Company, Day ton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.

"rhe second Messiah Is come"

'"The second Messiah Is come"
 Such are the words of a citizen who comes from the neighborhood Of Mary Lee with a remarkable story.
 Three weeks ago last night the people living in the vicinity of Mary Lee mines were startled by seeing a streak of light shoot across the heavens, wander slowly across space and then settle on the house of a minor It was so clear that shingles on the roof could be distinguished. Just as the flood of light had envelopcd the cottage the happy news was heraled that a boy baby was born within tho miners home. There was great rejoicing and great wonder that the baby should have come into the world with the bright light enveloplng his home. Some of the neigh bors even vent so far as to say that a white dove had alighted on the chimney and could he plainly seen.
 The incident created a sensation among the folk for miles around, and for a week many tongues were set wagging. Men spoke of the bright light and the baby's birth With knowing look while the wom- en sat around and discussed 1t with a supernatural awe.
 Gossip finally died down and on the fol- lowing Saturday night the mysterious oc- entrance was passing into history when suddenly the eyes of at least two dozen

OPERATORS TO MEET
 WITH MINERS TO-DAY
SemiMonhy Pay Days and Eight Hours Per Diem Will be De- manded by the Mners-May Also Ask Slight
 Increase in Pay-A Hard Struggle

A joint meeting of the Alabama Coal Operators Association and the scale com mittee of the United Miners Union No. 20 of Alabama will be held this morning at 10:30 o'clock for the purpose of arrang- ing scale of wages for the coming year.
 At this meeting committee from the miners will present the demands formu- lated at the scale convention last week, and will ask that the operators change the present scale to cover all points pre- scented in their demands. The exact and full demands which will be made have not been announced, but the chief ques- tions for which the miners will fight are a change to semi-monthly pay days and a change to eight hours per day for workmen.
 It is not believed that a marked in- crease of wages will be demanded, all though 1t Is possible a slight change may

be asked.
 There was a sentiment among the dele gates to the scale convention to make some increase demands, even though 1t was thought they would not be granted. It is not known whether or not this sen timent prevailed in the discussion, as it was violently opposed by delegates of conservative thoughts.
 The struggle between the two forces in all probability will be long drawn out and may result in a general strike, ale though both sides are trying to avert such a course. The operators state that they are now paying as much as Is possible for them to pay. and 1t will be impossi- ble to grant any concessions whatever,
 The miners will present their demands and insist on them.
 The meeting of the two bodies will be held at Seals Hall.

 A letter to the Daily Mail dated Cape town June 5 confirms the cable report, and says the invaders number from 7000 to 10000; that they are swarming all over the eastern and midland districts and getting recruits and horses.
 The Daily Mail remarks that confirma- tion of these assertions is needed, but if this information Is correct the country has been entirely misled regarding the ex- tent of the invasion.

LIGHT GIVES
 IDEA OF NEW MESSIAH
Persons in NeghbOrhood of Mary Lee Mines Have Thei Thoughts and ImaginationS Turned Toward Religion.
 SearchIght on Cabin at Time of ChIds Birth

men and their wives were transfxed by the bright streak of light again wander ing across the heavens and finally set ting on the same cabin as it did one week before.
 At the second visit of the strange light the baby boy was being christened and the imagination of many saw another white dove on the roof of the cottage. The cry then went up that the Messiah Is come," and the child was regarded with great reverence. The next morn ing at church the question of '"The Messiah" was uppermost in conversation and the great mystery if mystery it was, could not be fathomed.
 To cap the climax Birmingham man who deals in electrical goods has rudely brushed away a great mystery and ruined a pretty story. On every Satur- day night a huge searchlight Is placed on a building In Second avenue and bright rays are thrown across the coun- try for miles around. On the night the baby was born this light happened to strike the miners cottage and as the story reached the light mans ears he tried the trick again the following Sat urday night and got his light there in time for the christening. Last Saturday night he again played the light on the distant cottage but as yet no results have been announced.
