The Stove Was the Hottest
 Thing There
DISTILLERY IS DISCUSSED
Citizens Brave Rain to Object to the Location of the Birmingham Dis tiIing Company - Adjourn
 Until Monday Night.

About a dozen men met al the office oi Wood, Dickerson & Co. last night to pro- test against the erection by the Birmingham Dlstilling Company of a plant on the corner of Seventh avenue and Thirteenth street The indictment weather prevented a larger l crowd. The meeting was called for 7:30 but it was an hour later before it was called to order. The assembly meanwhile sat around the stove keeping dry. MT. A. B. Abbott was elected chairman. Let the chairman sit the stove if you want a warm, rousing meeting" suggested some one, jocularly. The chairman asked to be excused from presiding, hardly, how ever, from apprehension that this pleasing suggestion would be carried out. D. o. Ryan was then elected chairman. We have assembled here tonight to fight the distillery," he said. He then pulled off his overcoat, amid the applause of the assemblage.
 A. B. Abbott was then elected secretary of the meeting.
 MT. Ryan said that R. J. Smyer the att torney of the distiing company, was pres- ent their behalf and that the meeting would be pleased to hear from him.
 MT. Smyer began by saying that he was not present to mislead them or misrepre- sent anything "The first move of the dis tillery company" he said, was to buy a lot at Eyton, where they proposed to To- cate, but in view of the protest of the in- habitants and the fact that they were without any health officer or sanitary in- spector to look after the peoples interests, they decided to withdraw, although they had spent $500 for property and improve ments. MT. Dusenbury, wishing to be fair and generous, yielded and moved to Bir- mingham, within the city limits, where there is a health officer and sanitary in- spector to look after the interests of the people. They had selected a site on Sev- enth avenue and Thirteenth street, near the belt line and the Kansas City main line. They have bought the property and their machinery is already here. They are anxious, however, not to antagonize any community, and they told me today to say that they did not intend to feed stock or have stockyard; that the distillery would be conducted in such a way that it would not be offensive to any one.'
 He spoke of the Louisville distileries, which are in the city and perfectly inof- fensive.
 This plant" he said, will produce 300 gallons day and represents $1O,0OO in- vestment. It will be under the supervision of the State, city and government, and if not run properly can be suppressed by either. The distillery comapn if you wish it, will give written guarantee that they will keep no stock yard and that the prem ises will not be offensive
 t1,a 1ttcin af Mr T T the chairman stated that the subject was open for discussion As no one seemed in- clined to discuss the chairman called MT. A. A. Gambill to preside, and taking the floor moved that the meeting adjourn until 7:30 Monday night. This motion was car ried and the meeting adjourned

WISE LANDLADY.
Understands How to Increase Her Husi
 ness.

The landlady of a certain restaurant in Brockton, Mass, has increased her busi- ness so rapidly that she has had to en- large her dining room to accommodate the continually increasing patronage. One of her guests gives the reason.
 "Every morning she serves her regular guests with Grape-Nuts and hot milk or hot cream in cold weather and cold cream in summer. I began eating this food and right away began to feel an improvement tn my health. I had been terribly troubled with nervousness and dyspepsia and found 1t impossible to find food that would agree with me, until I began boarding at this restaurant.
 "The new food, in four months, increased my weight from 1D pounds to 145 and I never felt as well in my life as do now. There is something remarkable in the sus- taining power of this food. I have never been abls to obtain such results from any other" G. R. Hersey, 30 L Street, Brock ton. Mass.

 of the Directors
MIR. ST. JOHNS RESIGNATION
His Conduct of the Affairs of the Com pany Was Not Satisfactory. The Ryan Negotiations.
 Links and Pins.

It is stated in New York that the resg- Seaboard Air-Line was due to the action of the directors in appointing a committee to investigate and report on the feasibility of reducing the operating expenses of the read without impairing it's service
 MT St John occupies a prominent position in the railroad world, he having been con- nected with large systems of railroads for a number of years before going with the Seaboard five or six years ago. For this reason his resignation has given rise to considerable discussion and more or less speculation as to the real cause of the res- ignaton.
 It has been hinted that individuals con- nected with the company were impressed its business upon as an economical basis as was believed to be possible, and that he maintained a policy that was not in all re- spects conducive to it's best interests. Probability as to the truth of this report received confirmation in the appointment of a committee to make an examination and determine whether expenses could not be reduced without impairing the value and earning capacity of the property, and the conclusion is reasonable that this was suf- ficient to displease MT. St. John to such an extent that he deemed his resignation es- sential to the maintenance of his self-re- spct and dignity
