OCTOBER MAGAZINES.

The October number of Scribner's
is particularly attractive, opening
with an article on sculpture, pertain
ing especially to the work of j. o. A.
Ward, and beautifully illustrated
from some of his finest pieces; among
them the equestrian statue of General
Thomas and other portrait statues
being shown, as clearly indicating
Wards individuality and his promin-
ence in the field of sculpture A per-
usal of the article will give to the Or
binary reader a new understanding of
the art and has thoughts for it's
special followers. Besides the second
chapter of Wyckoff's "Wage Farmers
i'll London" Barrels serial, "The Lit
tie White Bird' continues, with no
abatement of it's subtle charm in the
new chapters. Special illustrations are
types of western frontier life which are
stories in themselves and exquisitely
colored. 'Fire. fighting Today and
Tomorrow" tells of the perfection of
system in large cities and how far
superior are American methods to
others, with pictures of some thrilling
scenes. The cover design is peculiar
ly appropriate to the season and the
reader will study it in quiet enjoy
ment, preparatory to launching into
the contents.

The fiction in the October number
of Everybody's Magazine is decidedly
entertaining. Gowns and a Gobo-
link" by Eleanor Hoyt, and "The
Sting of the Party Whip" by Hol-
man f. Day, are first-rate stories.
There are also little stories of real
life, contributed by Sydney Porter
and Mary S, Cutting, which will be
found very readable.

TWELVE DAYS 1T WAS ABOVE

August was sadly deficient in rainfall,
but had heat to spare, so says the MONTH
ly report of the weather man. The mean
temperature was two degrees higher than
the mean temperature of August for the
past ten years, while the rainfall was
1873 inches less than the average rainfall
for this month for the same length of
time
During August only 1853 inches of rain
fell. and all of that fell in eleven days,
there being no very heavy rains during
the month, the largest being on the %
when 1.02 inches fell in twenty-four hours.
On the 21st the rainfall was .96 of an
inch.
The temperature was high during the
entire month, while the nights were very
cool and comfortable. Six days out of
the 81 the mercury went above the CEN
fury mark and on the twelve other days
1t was above e5. The mean maximum
temperature for the month was "a de-

There were ten cloudy days, seventeen
practically cloudy days and the rest were

the small number of perfectly clear days,

HUGHES WILL HAVE FIVE DE-
LlvERlEs IN BUSINESS SECTION
AND EIGHT At HOTELS.

Beginning today Postmaster James w.
Hughes will have five deliveries Of mail
made daily In the business sections Of the
city. In addition to these five deliveries
the hotels. making eight deliveries for
them daily. The business OF the post
office has increased to such an extent as
to make this desirable and as fast as
conditions warrant Postmaster Hughes
is improving the efficiency of the service
and bringing 1t up to date.
Recently considerable residence sections
of the city has been taken In the free
delivery territory, although the postoffice
is at present working under great dis
advantage in regard to clerical force, es-
pecially in the mailing department, which
has three clerks Ill with fever. One Of
the distributing clerks is also Ill which
makes the work much harder on the re-
naming clerks, the clerical force being
small at best.
At the time DIR. Hughes became post
master there We're but three daily deliv-

in the residence portions of the city. No
special delivery boy was then kept as the
business did not warrant the expense.
Now there are four special delivery boys
who deliver letters at all hours of the
day and night and cover the territory
from West End and Elyton to the Sloss
furnace and from Jonesville on the north
to the limits of the South Highlands
Altogether they cover about fourteen
square miles and deliver on an average
of 1900 letters a month, making 375 letters
for each boy. The boys are paid eight
cents for each letter delivered and last
month each earned on an average $50.

NO REPLY YET.
President Roosevelt Has Not Accepted
His Invitations.

President Roosevelt has not yet re-
piled to the invitations to visit Birming-
ham on his southern trip telegraphed by
Mayor Drennen, President Roden of the
Commercial club and the members of the
Republican party committee. 1t is ex-
pected that he will answer the kilograms
today and hope is felt he will accept and
come.
Mayor Drenen stated yesterday that he
was sure there had been some delay in
the delivery Of the kilograms or else the
consideration of the invitation had been
postponed on account of such work as
would be necessary to ascertain If the
time could be arranged for the trip here.
In making up such special trips as the
Presidents tour much consideration is
given to any change In the first an
nounced plans and this is given as the
most probable delay In the answer to
the kilograms.

The winners were: In the first race, The
Kidd; in the second race, Major Hen
bricks; IN the third race. Denial. Great
was the cheering in the grand stand
as the home stretches were made.
OF the various field sports. the quot
pitching was perhaps the most scientific.
There were two games-eighteen yards
and ten yards. The contestants for the
eighteen yards were John Gourlay of
Pratt City. Robert Fox Of Pratt City, A.
McIndoe of Wylam. James Nelson of
Pratt City and James Grant of searies.
The contestants for ten yards were
John Stephens of Pratt City John Gour-
ley of Pratt City, Robert Fox of Pratt
City, Robert Smith Of Lewisburg, Hugh
Guthrie of Wylam, Henry Crawley of
Wylam and J. f. Mulln OF Wylam.
In the eighteen yards contest Tourlay
won the first prize and James Nelson the
second In the ten yards contest Crawiey
took the first prize and Gourlay the
second.
The quoits used ranged in weight from
to 10 pounds.
Fred Wehage, with a large corps of
cooks and walters, served an old time
country barbecue He roasted many oxen
and sheep, but the holiday crowd was
hungry as well as good natured. and be-
fore o'clock every bit of meat was
gone.
The Block of Ice.
One of the most amusing guessing con-
tests ever conducted in this city was over
Wehage's block of ice. The block
weighed 400 pounds at noon and the
guess was how much it would weigh at
shutdown. 1t was pldced in the open,
where old Sol had full play. Every
guesser paid 10 cents and the guesses
were al. the way from 25 pounds up to
200 pounds.
Precisely at shutdown Mr.. Webage
weighed the ice and 1t tipped the scale
at $50. The prize offered to the one who
would come nearest the correct weigh
was $40. But as five who took chances
were registered as 15O-pound guessers, a
problem was presented. 1t was quickly
decided, however, that the $40 should be
divided equally, and accordingly each re-
ceived 81. Policeman Baker, George Nc
Cormack, Captain Morson and Mrs.
Deacy were winners, but each donated
the amount awarded to the orphans. The
| fifth man took what was coming.
