Hood's Sarsapariiia promises to cure
 and keeps the promise.

perhaps was so tempting as that of the Moeriein Brewing Company, represented here by Thomas W. O'Byrne, wholesale dealer. During the hot, dusty afternoons 1t made a fellow thirsty to look at it and at night every beer thinker. on leaving the grounds, hastened to a saloon and called for Moerlein.
 A notable fact about Moeriein beer is the steady increase in its consumption. It easily has the lead in the south. and 1t is fast getting it all over the United States. There were handled through the Birmingham office last year 47S cars (six- ty-fve barrels to the carl, and this year the trade is much larger than 1t has ever been. There is every indication now that nearly, if not quite, 600 cars will be han died by T. w. O'Byrne In 1901 Think of 1t! Six hundred carloads-not 600 barrels consumed in this section in twelve months. This trade includes agencies at Bessemer Pratt City, Ensley, Carbon Hill, Brookside, Blossburg. Cullman, etc. The enormous sale emphasizes merit as nothing else would. 4lf
 The prosperity of the Moerlein Brewing Company Is no surprise when you come to think of it. Indeed 1t would be sur prfsing if their beer wasn't in great favor. for in the first place It Is a delicious and refreshing beverage-the best tasting beer on the market-and in the next place 1t is chemically pure. One reason the beer is superior in quality to other domestic brews is because it '1agered'-renlly lagered in the good, honest old Germa n way In their immense brewery in Cin- cinnati the Moer1ein Company have the cellar capacity for six months lagering. Other brewers do well, they think, to la- ger their beer six weeks. This thorough. process of the Moerlein product, accounts, In a measure at least, for the superiority and popularity of their output.
 Moerlein is not only delicious and thirst slaking, but 1t Is a great tonic, greet health builder. That is why 1t has such a run in the family trade. Men, women and children drink 1t for health.
 Those in the retail trade who handle Moerlein invariably succeed in business. Moerlein beer is synonymous with thrift every time.
 MT. O'Byrne who represents the com pany. is probably the best known citizen here He is esteemed for his high char acter business sagacity and public spirit, and if there Is a more popular gentleman hereabouts the writer has failed to find him. Everybody likes Tom O'Byrne. At his office fronting on the Alabama Great Southern track between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, he Is always rushed with business; but no matter, he has a pleasant word for all who call or ring him up by phone
 The depot required to handle the Moer- lein stock unloaded here fronts 100 feet on the railroad and runs back 1s2 feet to Powell avenue.

W. E. Birch, fruit grower, Alton, Va., writes:
 "The country is so flooded with patent medicines of every kind worthless and a humbug, that I am glad for one to, be able to say I have found one that is everything and more than is claimed for 1t.
 "My wife was very much run down and out of sorts every way. She had female weakness and was very weak, nervous, and had no appetite. I tried her on everything could think of, but she would not touch thing-could not eat straw berries, even. Isaw Peruna in my fathers store one day, and after reading the printed matter on the bottle, decided to have my wife try it. Before she had taken half of the bottle, she commenced to eat, and now she is hun gry all the time. We both agree that it beats any medicine to bring an appetite and put the nerves in good shape that we have ever had anything to do with.
 "We had our family doctor to give her medicine, but she did not improvein the least. She has consumption in her family and she was in such bad shape and SO run down that begun to get very uneasy, but your medicine has made an entirely new woman of her.

MISS BRIDEVELL
 FRIDAY EVENING
The Great CentraIto to Appear In Concert at the Jeffer-
 son Theatre

Carrie Bridewell, one of the great principals of the Metropolitan Opera Company. will reach Birmingham on "Wednesday next, and will here organ ize concert company and rehearse for a limited Southern tour. Her com pany will include Anton Kaspar, one of the most brilliant of the younger Slavic violin virtuosos, and recent prize winner at the Conservatory at Prague; and Julia Plesner, a young and successful pianist.
 Miss Bridewell was a beautiful song stress when she lived in Birmingham few years ago. But she was com paratively an untutored child then. She was recognized, however, as a nat ural vocalist of uncommon promise.
 When she appeared at the JeRerson lat fall she was no longer an amateur. She had made her mark in New York and was one of Grau's biggest drawing cards. She proved herself an artist Of the first rank and received an ovation. Her voice was as musical as ever and it was thoroughly trained. All traces of the amateur had left her. Her vo- calization and her intonation and her style were all above criticism. The papers nave bcCh luih VI Ooai ao Bridewell recently. She has made a fine hit in opera, and no woman on the stage Is better known today. than the young and handsome contralto, former. | ly of Birmingham.
 Kaspar, the violinist, Is from the same conservatory as Leopold kra' mer, the soloist of the Thomas orches. tra. He and Kramer are personal friends, and the latter spoke In terms of high praise of Kaspar last Wednes- day when he heard he was to play in Birmingham. Kaspar was the most popular soloist in the Symphony con oerts in Baltimore and Washington during the season just closed, and will be the soloist for the New York Phil harmonic and the Boston Symphony next winter,
 The Bridewell concert will take place at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday, when the house is certain to be hacked

SUPERSTITION IN THE SOUTH.
One Negro's Alleged Experience With
 a Demoniacal Black Cat.

'I reckon our Southern 'darkies are about the most superstitious race of peo- pie In the world"
 The speaker was Virginia gentleman in Chicago on business, and his remark was addressed to little group sitting in one of the hotels and swapping stories. No one disputed the Southern mans as- sertion. and he continued:
 Our darkies see signs and omens in everything imaginable, and the greater part of their life is spent in trying to live up to these omens. This supersti- tion of theirs is undoubtedly heritage from their forefathers. brought from Africa in the old slave days, and even when the present-day darky gets a little education he never gets quite enough to dispel his superstitious beliefs. They have among their many other queer ideas. a horror of black cats, which they think are the abodes of wicked spirits, and this reminds me of a story.
 Down In the country where the White Sulphur springs are situated there are numerous other springs, all of which possess more or less medical properties in their water. Some years ago a com pany built a hotel near one of these springs and invested about quarter of & million in the enterprise. It was opened with a great flourish of trumphets and a large number of guests. Unfortunate " on the opening day one of the guests dropped dead. rms seemed 10 hOoQOO the place, and at the end of the first season the company was bankrupt and the hotel closed
 It got the reputation of being haunted in the few years it stood vacant, and you couldn't get a darky to go near 1t at night. Finally it was bought by physi- clan, and he sought a caretaker to live in the hotel until he was ready to open, it. He finally got hold of tough darky, who said he wasn't afraid of anything, and he was installed. According to the darky's story this is what happened to him:
 The night he took charge he thought after dark that he wanted to have sup per. He made coffee. fried eggs and ba- con, and sat down to the table to eat. Just as he had begun a big black cat jumped up on the table and. grinning at the darky. said:
 "T reckon we twos the only ones here.
 "The darky almost turned white with fear, but managed to answer:
 "Yes. and I reckons 1t won't be long before youse'll be the only one here.' and with that he dashed out of the hotel and went tearing up the road to the village.
 ''As he was putting in his best lioks rabbit Jumped out of the bushes and ran ahead of him.
 For Gawd's sake, rabbit gasped the terrified darkey, get out of the road and give somethin' that can run chancer
 Since that experience you can't get darky to spend a night in the hotel for any sum-"
