Special to The Globe.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2S.-The
news has gone abroad that the White
house is overrun with rats-and in con-
sequence it is likely to be overrun now
with cats, dogs, ferrets and professional
eXterminators of rodents
Today a Prof. Linthicum arrived from
Baltimore with the Endorsement of Rep
resentative Wachter and offered to take
the rat job by contract or by the animal.
He wanted an interview with Roosevelt
He had weasel and six terriers with
him.
By express there arrived also a crate
containing six white cats from Perry
Collier, of Beverly, Mass, all warranted
to kill rats on sight. Also there came to
Secretary Cortelyou four packages OF
rat poison and fourteen circulars of traps
and patent eXtreminatorS. The presi-
dent is wondering if some patriotic
friends will not come to the rescue of
the administration.

Mr.. Tillman-Does the senator desire

Mr.. S. sPlRO
AGAIN at His old Stand, 1920 Third
Avenue.

Mr. S. Spiro, the enterprising hardware
merchant, is again located at MS olo
store, 1920 Third avenue. The effects OF
the recent disastrous fire which so handi-
capped him for a couple of months nave
almost entirely vanished under the mana
of the painter and carpenter, and the
store is fast assuming its former hano-
some appearance.
The energy and pluck which have char
acterized Mr.. Spiro's recovery from the
fire are responsible for the steady increase
in his business since he succeeded the
4oplxins Stove and Roofing company in
1892 At that time he started In with three
helpers, and at the present time he has
thirty-six workmen on his pay roll.
The hardware business itself, however,
does not comprise his whole line OF work
by any means. A speciality is made OF
roofing and cornice work and In addl
ton to this he also installs the famous
Boynton hot air furnaces. He put in the
first hot air furnace ever brought TO Biz
mingham. Some of the largest and most
important roofing contracts In the district
are the work of Mr.. Spiro, among them
being the slate and metal work on the
new city hall, including the metal cell
inrs. stating the stock houses OF the
Sloss- Sheffield company, and putting slate
roof on the union passenger station. The
two largest sky lights in Birmingham,
one in the city hall and one in the gov
eminent building, are also the work OF
Mr.. Spiro.
He is better than ever equipped TO 40
this kind of work, and TO serve his friends
with ANYTHING needed IN the hardware
line. and work entrusted TO him Will be
executed in the prompt and satisfactory
uauer that has always characterized MS
contracts in the past.

STATE FAIR TO Be
CLOSED ON SUNDAY
President Frebj Issues a State
ment to This Effect
ON HIGH MORAL PLANE
The Management Has No Desire to Do
Anything Which Would lnjure
the Morality of the
Community.

President A ]. Krebs OF the Alabama
State Fair association stated yesterday
that the fair would NOT Dc opened on
Sunday.
In the course of lengthy statement
ne says that 1t has always been the policy
and intention of the fair directors to have
the fair run on highly moral basis, and
| that they In no way wished to injure the
morality of the community. The state
ment he issued is as follows:
Regarding the discussion appearing
in the papers concerning the policy of
the Alabama state fair, deem it incum-
bent upon me, as chief executive of the
fair association. to state clearly and
definitely the position of the fair manage
ment during the coming state fair.
THE policy of the management ':Es
been from its inception that the fair
should be conducted on a high moral
plane, ard to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. Due notice was given that all
gambling or gambling devices would be
absolutely forbidden and that every de-
partment of the fair would be conducted
In an orderly manner, and in thorough
conformity with the law. The manage
/
garding the law on pool-selling and horse
racing, and while there will be some in
teresting horse races, there will be moth
ing done in opposition to the law.
No Official Action Taken.
Concerning the policy of the fair man
agement IN regard to Sunday opening,
there has been no official action taken.
1t was argued that in view of the fact
that great many working people desired
to visit the grounds on Sunday afternoon
that the grounds should be kept open in
order that they might do so. The man
agement has been considering the advisa-
bility of holding a sacred concert each
Sunday afternoon, opening the gates
about or o'clock in the afternoon, with
no displays or shows 1t was, In any
event, to have been only a sarced con-
cert, not only in name but in fact COM
posed of fine orchestra and a quartette
of yocalists, the music to be selected
from the very highest compositions OF
sacred music. 1t was thought that such
concert would be soul-inspiring and
recreating to a class Of people who would
be morally benefited thereby.
Interest Appreciated.
THE management, however fully real
ICES the great Importance of the opinions
and influence of the ministers of Bir-
mingham, and 1t will endeavor not to
antagonize their views, but rather to en-
list their cooperation and earnest efforts
IN giving the people Of Birmingham a
successful fair. one that we can all feel
proud of from an instructive and moral
point of view.
Therefore. we have decided not to oper
the gates of the Alabama State Fair or
Sundays.
From a personal standpoint I wish
to add further that in all my labors
both business and personal. and as an ex'
ecutive officer of the fair, the people Of
Birmingham and the state may rest as
sured that the fair will be conducted hon
orably, morally and to the best interests
of Birmingham and to the state of Ala
bama."
