FIGURING ON
 BUDGET FOR 19O2 Heads of City Departments Get

 like Method. 4+4
COUNCIL TRIES NEW PLAN

An estimate of the total expenditures necessary to keep the city of Birming- ham going during the year 1902 will be gotten up within the next few weeks. Heads of departments are now busy pre- paring estimates for their branches These estimates will be referred to the finance committee and the yeary budget made up in advance.
 This has not been possible heretofore on account of the tangled condition of the city finances. The decision to make up estimates in advance and hold depart ments within the limits of these esti- mates was reached at recent meeting of the finance committee and the Mayor. The question of the city's bonded indebt- edness has been absolutely settled and the committee knows the amount Of money necessary to pay interest and provide for the sinking fund. So the departments may be regulated and the budget made out In advance.
 To Include Every Detail.
 The estimates will cover all known quantities that demand the expenditure or HlOHey, dlu VIII CONCi luC hCNOS VI each city department In detail, The sev- eral items will include city hall salaries, the cost of running the fire department, the police department, the street depart ment, and miscellaneous expenses that will arise during the year.

 In discussing the question, Alderman Kerr, the chairman of the finance commit tee said:
 "Since the question ~f interest Is defin- itely settled 1t Is believed that the policy of making out an estimate of the citys requirements far In advance Is the very best one that could be adopted. We know how much money will be required for salaries. and there Is no reason why the police fire, school and other departments should not know how much each will require. At the recent meeting of the mayor and finance committee 1t was unanimously decided to ask the chairman of the committees representing each de- department to make q careful estimate of the needs of that department for the coming year and submit the same to a meeting of the finance committee to be held in the early fall.
 To Keep in the Limit. ... .F
 'we believe this can be done success fully, as it is done in other cities Of course, there will be new questions that will arise which may, change the re quirements of the departments. but we will provide for these as though no es- innate had been made Yet we will try to keep each department within the bounds of its estimate. t'. els1 1 !, &
 .It Is impossible at this time to make any estimate of the amount each depart ment will require. for the matter has not been given consideration by the com mittee members. When the budget of each deartment's wants is submitted the finance committee will consider the whole, and will take its report to the mayor and board of aldermen. We ex- pect to have the question definitely set tied before the winter months are reached"

and there was no cessation till past noon. The heaviest downpour came a few minutes before 12 o'clock. Nervous wo- men though. there was cloudburst and if 1t had lasted few minutes longer the citizens of other places would today be contributing for the relief of Birming- hams flood victims.
 Mean Things 1t Did.
 The flood interfered with the operation of street cars. especially on the East Bir- mingham and East Lake divisions On the East Lake line the bridge crossing Ce, dar creek at the Avondale Cotton mills was washed out of plumb and traffic on that line was delayed several hours. The same trouble was experienced on the East Birmingham line. Cedar creek over flowed the bridge near the East Birming ham shops and traffic west of that point was suspended for a time. The passage under the viaduct on this line at Twenty seventh street and Eighth avenue was flooded to a depth of seven feet. Much damage was done on the Highland Ave- nue line by the torrent of water. The track was washed out in several places.
 The trestle over Village Creek at North Birmingham was so undermined that 1t was necessary to transfer passengers for several trips. A force of men were put to work on the trestle and soon succeeded in placing 1t In such condition that the cars were able to pass over slowly. A watchman was kept at the bridge all night
 Flooded Residence Section.
 Tn parts of the residence section the rapid rise of the water became alarming Tn Seventh avenue and Nineteenth street the water reached a depth of nearly four feet In south Twenty-seventh street the water flowed down from St. Vincent's Hospital in torrents, carrying large stones, logs and other debris.
 In South Twenty-first street a small lake was formed at the foot of the bridge crossing the railroads. The pond was deep enough for boating. At the Florence Hotel corner a small negro boy secured soap box and went out for a cruise across the billowy waves.
 The water rushed down Fourth avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets like swift river, its depth be- ing several feet. The cellar of the Hillman Hotel. and the new city hall basement were filled with water. but no serious damage is reported. Work on both build- ings have been delayed for several days by the wet weather.
 Saw Ills Melons Disappear.
 During the storm a large number of watermelons and parts of punches of bananas were swept from the sidewalk stand at the corner of Fourteenth street and Second avenue. When the melons began to float away the storm was at its height and the Greek owning the place could only stand still, give vent to for eign "cuss'' words at the loss of his stock in trade. Several little darkies at the corner, sheltered under the awning. made bold by the sight of the moving melons, secured crafts in the shape of dry goods boxes and sailed forth after

Bridges Undermined and Passengers Have To Be Transferred-Fall Taken Out of Weather Mans
 Rainfall Record.

A respectable, well disciplined rain in summer is always welcome, but the rain yesterday morning did not fall in a decent and orderly manner. It gushed. it poured and did everything which a well behaved rain is not expected to do. It transformed the streets Into rivers, the crossings into creeks, and in those disa- greeable sinks in the sidewalks 1t located lakes. Cellars were flooded, yards over flowed and everything that would hold water was running over.
 Among the ugly things chargeable to the rain is the undermining of railroad bridges, the suspension of street car traffic for a time, the washing away of outhouses and great damage to the streets. More rain fell during the morning than is often recorded in an entire month.
 Jacobs Has the Proof.
 weatherman Jacobs stands ready with voluminous testimony to prove case of disorderly conduct against the rain. The first count In the indictment Is that the total rainfall for the morning was 2.46 inches. The second count is that the pre- cipitation for the entire spring and sum- mer has been all out of proportion to past records. During August, 1900. the rainfall only amounted to 1.s9 inches Up to date for this month 1t has been 12.62. The fall since March 1 has been 30.54, and there have been only six days this month when 1t did not rain. Appended as an exhibit to Wcatherman Jacobs in- dictment is the following table showing the rainfall for the past seven years dur Ing the month of August:

deeds; the movement OF great events must
be timed to the existence of some great
mind which will take advantage of the
chance it gives. But" he continued, lit
is true that a good man cannot be kept
down and completely hidden. A good man
may be confined in jail, but his good quail
ties will find some means of expression.
How much more would that man accom-
plish IL he were out or jail, and his oppor-
tunity for broader action were not limited?
But in this instance, as in all others, 1t is
necessary that the individual be possessed
of the will 10 do. After that he must have
the ability to accomplish that which he
sets out to do. Having these qualities, he
will eventually be successful. A man who
strives TO do something, and who fails in
the immediate object. is not necessarily
failure. If he uses this failure correctly, he
may rise to higher things. 1t is this ability
10 make use of failure, as step to higher
things, that marks man as truly great,
and the man who does this for worthy and
noble ends, will be blessed in the eyes OF
God Paul was such man who, in the face
of the most disheartening failures, con-
tinued to struggle for the right with stead
fast devotion, and who finally enrolled him
self on the tablets Of eternal fame and be-
came the inheriter of everlasting life"

ANTI BRITISH MEETING
MAI. JOHN M'BRIDE AND MAUD
CONNIE THE SPEAKERS.
Mention of Queen Victoria and Lord
Salisbury Greeted with Kisses by
Wearers of the Green.

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-wearers of the
green and believers in the cause of inde-
pendence for the 'aOld Country assembled
at the Academy of Music tonight to do
honor of Major John Mcbride. who organ
lied the Irish Transvaal Brigade, and also
to Maude Come The meeting was held I'M
der the auspices of the Clan-na-Gael.
The mention of Queen Victoria was
greeted with Kisses, albeit of somewhat
subdued sort. A reference to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty brought forth signs Of
disapproval, and the mention of Lord Sal
isbury was received with vigorous kissing.
The full measure of scorn, however, was
reserved for the name of Joseph Chamber
lain. The house was well filled.
Three cheers were given for Major Nc
Bride when he took the floor. Among other
things he said: Five hundred men could
have captured Ladysmith, but General Jou-
bert refused to give the order. If he had
not the fate of the war might have been
different. At Colenso the bulk of the Eng
lish officers showed themselves incompe-
tent, and might have completed the
rout there, but General Joubert said 1T was
against the Bible to smite flying enemy.
We have dropped the flag for time, but
we hope to pick 1t up again and then we
will not lay it down until every vestige of
the empire of hell is swept from the earth"
Miss Come spoke next, and introducing
her the chairman said: "A woman died in
England last month thisses) over which
the Anglomaniacs expressed great SYM
pathy and went into mourning. She is put
forward as all that is best and most repre-
sentative in the English, but, far we
are concerned, they are welcome TO her.
When Miss Come stepped forward the
audience rose and greeted her with loud
applause. She said, in part: THE hour of
lreland's destiny seems near at hand. We
have come to America to consult with you
before the crisis comes. In Victorias reign
Ireland has become a dying nation. Ire
land has spent thirty years in parliament
tary agitation. She is dying of it. Why
should We not succeed in our fight for indie
pendence as you Americans did and as the
Beers will surely do? To check emigration
is the first necessity, and to encourage in
dustry so that the people may be given
work. Last year, when Victoria came to
Ireland, she was received by the officers
and the landlords but not a hat was taken
off by the working people"
The meeting was closed with the singing
of the Boer national anthem, followed by
the Irish national song.

MINNEAPOLISy Feb. 17.-Governor VAN
SAINT has put stop to the proposed pugilis-
tic carnival scheduled to take place here
tomorrow evening under the auspices OF

came to Minneapolis yesterday and held a
long conference with Mayor Ames. The
mayor was favorable TO the contests,
arguing that they were not to be prize
fights in the strict meaning OF the words.
The Governor was obdurate, however, and
while he could not officially stop the fights
to-day owing TO lack OF time. unless the
mayor sanctioned his act, the latter did
not wish to take strong opposition to defy
the Governor and hence has notified the
management of the athletic club that the
contests cannot take place. The fighters
