Second Annual Clearing of Shoes Begins.

and from Boyden Shoe Co. comes big lOr of mems shoes at half price,
 This August sale of Shoes is the most inn portant sale that has occurred in Birmingham. Compared with the selling of other stores it is wonderfully large.
 Among other things, it shows that we save you money on shoes as we do on other things ---in a great many instances we save one-half the regular pricel
 Of course this isn't the rule, but you can connt on saving a quarter or a third of the price now.
 In this shoe sale are all styles of shoes for men, women and children. Twenty-fourlots are here told of.
 And there are more besides thesel But we think there is enough told here to impress upon your mind the importance of this sale, as concerns prices.

We wonder how many people in Birning- ham realize the size of this Shoe Department of ours
 As a matter of fact, there's not another department store in the South that carries so large z. stock of mems and women's shoes.
 And most important, the stock here repre- sents the makes of the best known shoe manufacturers in the country.
 The best footwear of all kinds for all peo- pie for all occasions is here, at the money saving price that this cooperative business makes possible.
 Just how much this big store saves the city of Birmingham and Alabama is particu- larly emphasized in this August Shoe Sale.
 Here are Laird X SchOber's $4 OxfOrds for $2,75, and Wichert & Gardner Oxfords, originally $3.5O, now $2.65. And then here are shoes from the celebrated shoe manu- lecturers, Geo. E. Keith at about half price,

COMPANY ASKS TOO
 MUCH FROM CITY COUNCIL
Continued From Page 5.)

Thach held that 1t meant that the price here should be regulated by the average found in other cities.
 The city had made a contract with the Electric Light Company shortly before the consolidation providing for a revision of rates according to the lowest price paid in other cities of like size and popu- lation
 In this connection 1t is interesting to note that an average obtained from g.. number of cities similar to Birmingham gives a rate of $134. Wheeling, w. Va, gets gas for 75 cents per thousand and Knoxville, Tenn, for $1. The conditions in the latter city are similar to Birming- ham.
 Gray Resolution.
 There was some discussion at the meet ing as to whether the Gray resolution really ratified the consolidation. MT. Thatch believes that 1t does, while a prominent member of the judiciary com- mittee said after the meeting that it would not hold water He argued that 1t was nothing more than a resolution passed the same night it was introduced without being referred to a committee. Other members contend that it did not grant any rights but simply ratified the transfer of rights that had previously been granted.

 Little Rock, Ark, August 2-(Special.) Little Rock lost to Birmingham today mainly through inability to hit Gillen. Several times the locals had men on second and third, but the needful hit was not forthcoming despite the noisy root ing by the crowded grand stand and bleachers.s The visitors scored their first run in the second on Gettinger's single and a steal, Kalkhoff's single and Gull ver's long fly to right. They did not score again until the ninth LaRocque singled and McDevitt advanced him on a sacrifice. Gettinger then bit to far cen ter for three bags, scoring LaRocque. Kalkhoff hit a grounder to short, SCOT ing Gettinger. In the fifth Little Rock had men on second and third, but the best that Lynch could do was to send an easy one to second, being thrown out at first, and retiring the side. A similar condition existed in the seventh, when Lynch again missed opportunity to bring in two runs He popped up fly, which Culver took. Following Is the of ficial score.

 The chances are that Sparger may not be with Fisher much longer. One of his friends received letter from him few days ago. in which he said that he had about determined to quit ball playing and go to his home in Indian Territory While he was in Nashville just before the team went on the road he had asked Manager Fisher for his release, but his request was not granted, as Nashville was then short of pitchers If by any chance he should pull out he would leave the team in bad hole, as they are already short of men.

and if Ben Johnson and McGraw of the Baltiores would say less through the newspapers and settle their differences in private, the American League las goods prospect of triumphing. President James A. Hart of the Chicago National League club Is the weakening magnate who thinks the two big leagues should get together and patch up their differ ences. It is to be hoped, at least from the players standpoint, that matters will run along as they are, for competition is the life of the game.
 as Birmingham won at Little Rock the tie that has so long existed between these two treams was broken.
 Nashville has purchased Pitcher Black burn from Little Rock. It is reported that the consideration was s300. When smiling George played here last in the vernacular of a local rooter, he was peaches and cream of the Boilermakers.
 Ned Hanlon, who ought to know, says a pitcher should have a reason for every ball he throws over the plate. good many games are lost because the pitcher becomes careless. This has been espe- cialiy true in many Southern League this year.
 King Bailey lost his one-hit game to New Orleans on account of Beecher, the short stop, making three rank errors in succession
 It now turns out that Corbett, Nash ville's old picher, did not go home on ac- count of sickness. as was reported, but to play ball with another club.

A Bunch of Luck.

Little Rock, August 2.-(Special.) )-Joe Veitch, the second baseman of Birming- ham, picked up an old shoe in the street this morning and carried 1t to the ball grounds with him this afternoon for good luck. Martin and Kalkhoff went fishing this morning and caught two turtles The combination was too much for Little Rock and they were shut out by little Tommy Gillen. it being the third time the local team has suffered this humiliation at the hands of the iron barons" We always win on ladies' day." said Larocque, and they did again. The supposed invincible McCloskey was Gillens opponent, and though but five hits, one a triple, were made off him, three earned runs resulted. Keefe or Brandt will pitch tomorrow and Popp for Little Rock.

 The New Orleans club has accepted the terms of the left-handed pitcher, Kellum, formerly of the Boston Americans, and has sent him transportation. He will go South at once
 Selma has a good claim on Staniy, the Virginia League pitcher that New Or- leans is after. These two teams seem to be trying to sign everybody that ever thought of twirling.

MINERS Do NOT GET DEMANDS.

Des Moines, Ia.-(Special.) 1.-The joint
meeting of Iowa miners and operators
in progress at Ottumwa is likely to re-
suit in a harmonious agreement on the
mine scale for the ensuing year in the
Iowa mine field and in the northern
counties of Missouri The miners made
a demand for a mine-run scale, the
price varying from 70 cents to 81
ton, according to locality. The scale
has been based on screened coal hereto
fore.
The scale demanded would be some
what better for the miners, but the OPP
orators promptly rejected the PROPOSE
ton and the joint committee met for
conference. At the conclusion of the
conference it was announced that the
committee would go to work on scale
on the old basis of screened coal. which
indicates that the miners receded from
their demands. AS the Iowa miners are
paid better than those Of Illinois or
other competing fields, the old scale
was reasonably satisfactory and no
strike is anticipated now.

A TWO-HEADED SHARK.


strength he could command. So great
was his desire to land his prize that
the distance to the beach seemed in
terminable.
A shark OF the ordinary size and
shape is big enough to make a battle
royal when interfered with, but Miller
had a two-headed, two-taiIed one to
contend with, and the fact that he came
out successful after an exciting strug-
gle makes the feat the more remark
able.
It has not yet been clearly established
whether the shark or Miller was the
more frightened. Miller went in for a
record breaking pull to land. while the
shark made frantic efforts to swallow
the herring bait and escape.
When the boat at last reached the
beach Miller felt safe. He bent all his
energies to the landing Of his strange
fish. He was determined it should not
escape him. Then began a terrible
struggle man at one end Of the
line and the shark at the other.
The strong line became taut, and ev-
cry second the fisher feared it would
part. With scientific handling the big
monsters movements were controlled,
and it was worked nearer the shore,
where a heavy pole was brought into
Hay. A line was attached and the cap
ture soon effected.
After a tremendous thrashing about
on the beach. the shark wore itself out,
which gave Miller chance to measure
it. Miller discovered then that he had
captured a fine specimen of the ''tiger
shark with the exception that this
one had two heads. two tails, and one
body. It measured eight feet in length
and wa seighteen inches thick, or as
large around as a mans body. The
monster was taken to Tacoma and sold
to well known taxidermist, where it
is creating the greatest curiosity.
The notes of the Bank of England
cost exactly one halfpenny each.

CONFESSES He HEARD SIGNALS.

San Francisco, CaI.-(Specia .)-Elling-
son, the coastguardsman connected with
the Fort Point life saving station, who
was on duty at the time of the wreck
of the steamer Rio de Janeiro, February
%, has confessed that he heard the
Rios signals of distress, but attached
no Importance to them. and for that
reason failed to arouse the life-saving
crew. Captain Hodgson, in charge Of
the station, has suspended Ellingson
and will make thorough investigation.
1t has been claimed by people who were
on the wrecked steamer and by others
that If the life crew had been made
aware Of the disaster many lives would
have been saved.
Immediately after the wreck Filing
son denied that he heard the Rios
whistles and he persisted in that denial
until he confessed to Hodgson.
When Ellingson made his confession
to Captain Hodgson the latter became
Infatuated and seized the guard and,
besides giving him a sound thrashing,
choked him severely in his anger. Cap
tain Hodgson is so chagrined at the dis
grace cast upon the station that he can
hardly talk of the matter E1lingson
has disappeared and the men at the life
saving station believe that he has made
away with himself.
