RIFLE RANGE TO BE
 MADE PERMANENT
POLICE AND DEPUTY sHERlFFs WILL BE ASKED TO HELP MILL TiAMEN FORM AN ASSOCIATION. MEET SEPTEMBER 6.

4 Jefferson county rifle range assoeia- ton Is being organized by several of those interested in the rife range which was recently fitted up by the military com panies of the city. and a meeting has been called for Sunday afternoon, Sep tember 6. at the armory of the National Guard in the city hall building
 Besides the six military companies, the Jefferson Volunteers the Birmingham Battery, the Birmingham Rifles, the Woodlawn Light Infantry, the Bessemer Rifles and Troop D, the sheriff and the chief of police will be interested in the movement and the deputies and policemen will practice on the range, as well as the military men.
 The range. which Is being fitted out at woodlawn, will probably be used and it will be made pistol and rife range both. The very best equipment possible will be procured and 1t Is believed that constant practice on the range will greatly help the police. deputy sheriffs and the mili- tary men.
 For some time the police force and the deputies have felt the need of a place where they could practice with their pis- tols and with Winchester rifles. used In cases of emergency. and this association will exactly fill the bill.
 In connection with this 1t Is the pur- pose of the local military companies to have a state tournament on military day at the state fair. All the military com panies of the state will be present on that day and the commissioned officers of the city hope they can be persuaded to join in this shoot.
 The rife range and the constant prac- tice is a much needed thing in the military circles. according to the commissioned officers, and every effort will be made to make 1t one of the features of the National Guard in the state in the future.

Earnest Work Being Done for
 the Organization
MASS MEETING WILL BE HELD
President Rates Determined to Make Present Movement In Behalf of Dumb Animals Practical and
 Helpful-specIaI Officer.

At a meeting of the Birmingham Hu- mane society held yesterday afternoon in the parlors of the armory in the city hall. it was decided to hold mass meet Ing under the auspices of the society on next Tuesday evening at o'clock.
 A number of prominent speakers. both men and women will be invited to ad- dress the meeting and every effort will be made to increase the interest already aroused In the work of the society.
 The members are enthusiastically at work and yesterday T. Rates. the presi- dent reported nearly fiftey new names for membership. He believes that one thous- and names will be secured.
 The committee appointed to appear be- fore the council at its last meeting re- ported that the petition asking the city to make an appropriation for the special officer who would be the agent of the society had been referred to joint com- mittee. which would make its report at the next meeting of the council.
 President KGtes stated that # the city fefuscs to make an appropriation that he Is willing to personally undertake the ex- rense Of maintaining an officer, provided that the city will give the fines accruing from arrests to the Humane Society to be disposed of in various charitable ways.
 The proposition that the fines would amply defray the expense of maintaining a special officer was made by Chief of Police Austin at the meeting last week, but Mayor Drennen did not seem to favor the suggestion.
 President Rates said yesterday that in other cities the fines went to pay the salary of a special officer, who, while acting as the agent of the Humane So- ciety, was under the control of the pc lice department.
 Tt Is impossible to carry on this work effectively" he said, unless there is a special officer. There is much work to be done in this city. When came here over two years ago I recognized the need of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and advocated its organization. I am determined that this movement shall not fall through and that Birming- ham shall not be the one city where the instincts of humanity are apparently dead"
 Chief Austin was present and Is aiding the society in every way that lies in his power.

THE ARTILLERY.
Facetlous Open Letter From Mir. Jeff
 fers to Chief MulIln.

On account of the many guns which the Birmingham battery of artillery will have, Uncle Tom Jeffers. custodian of the new city hall, where the National Guard armory Is situated, has made a diligent search for quarters for them. As the re- suit he has addressed the following open letter to Chief Mullin of the fire department, thinking the chief has not enough apparatus to fill the department's E space at the city hall.
 Thaddius Mullin, Esq, Chief Fire Depart
 ment:
 Sir-As the Artillery or Battery D met last night for the first time in the city hall and being an old artilleryman myself. appointed myself committee of one to confer with you as regards the use of four of your smartest horses for drill purposes; they will not need them over two nights in the week. about three or four hours at a time. with harness, of course. The reason they want smart horses Is the drill requires quick move ments from point to point in case of an attack. The guns have not yet arrived, but when they do I would like to get about ten or twelve of your stoutest men to assist in unloading them. as the bat tery was entirely overlooked at the con- struction of the city hall. Would like to store our guns in your engine room, say between your machines, think there would be room for your men to pass. You can take the horses out the back way around to front of house.
 Would like to get say four of five, of your best wheel washers and wagon greasers until the men learn the modus operandi. We may need some axle grease at first. I don't think you need fear anything from an explosion as there will be only twenty-four rounds of ammunition to each Timber chest. as we will store the scrap of about forty to fifty cases in one of the near by magazines.
 If fire should occur while the horses are out just tap the bell say five times which will bring them in instanter.
 Let me hear from you at once as the gun2 are liable to arrive at any minute Respectfully. TOM JEFFERS

From the New York Times.
 Gen. Fred Grant a few months ago received a letter which he showed his army friends in Luzon as joke at his own expense, and which therefore may properly be promulgated.
 The generals son, U. s. Grant, third is cadet at West Point, now first class man and cadet adjutant. But earlier in his course his father became anxious about him, and imparted his anxiety by mail from the Philippines to a professor in the academy, a con temporary of his own, begging him tc send exact and confidential informa tion as to the cadets standing. The answer which relieved his anxiety was as follows:
 Dear Fred:-You needn't worry The boy stands higher in everything than you ever did in anything"
