CITY LICENSES
Less Than Four Hundred Dogs Ii
censed by Their Owners.
Considerable Trouble Experience in
Collecting Licenses Now.

1t is probable that the authorities
will have to begin swearing out war
rants against dog owners in order 10
start more activity in the payment Of
licenses. Less than four hundred have
been paid, and since the work Of TAX
ing up dogs ceased there has been a
perceptiple falling off.
License Inspector Ezell states that
one trouble in collecting licenses is
that many people have learned not to
pay until they have TO, and they do
not have to until warrants are issued
against them.
When warrants are issued against
owners Of dogs for failing to pay IL
censes, the owners go up ana pay be-
fore the case is tried in police court,
and then tell some pitiable story to
the court and have leniency extended.
II is the same way with some mer-
chants and professional people. They
wait until a warrant has been is
sued, and then pay, usually being let
of from paying fine. II all such
violators of the law were fined when
q warrant is issued against them, and
the evidence shows they are guilty, 1t
would induce them, as well as others,
TO always pay licenses when they are
due. the inspector thinks

Most Exclusive Climb on Earth.

The Diamond Club of London is the
most exclusive, richest and, in some
respects, the oldest club in the world.
Its members are such of the great dia-
mond dealers of London as can qualify.
Each candidate for admission is exam
ined by a committee, which inquiries
minutely into his past.s
The club is primarily an eating place
and a place Of business. The members
meet daily at the luncheon hour in the
dingy little cafe in Hatton Garden, oc-
cupying a private room. Although
these dealers in diamonds do not care
for dress they do care great deal for
good dinners. Their ! O'Clock repast
is famous for its excellence. 1t is said
10 be the finest in the world.
The doors of the clubhouse are
opened at 10 a. m. and the place is de-
serted before p. M, about the time
when the West End clubmen are begin
ming their day. One of the features OF
this curious club is the displaying OF
diamonds by it's members. Often bags
full of rare gems of exceeding size and
lustre are emptied onto the dining
room tables for inspection, and num-
oers of them are passed around the
room and handled by as many men as
wish to Look them over. The owner
has no rear, for he confides implicitly
in any man whose character is good
enough to allow him to become men,

When lee Cream Was New.

When ice cream was first introduced
rany funny stories were told about it.
It vas first offered in the national CAPT
tai, according to an authority on the
subject, by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
who had had it in her home in New
York. She used to tell with amuse-
ment of the delight with which Presi-
dent Jackson first tasted it, and how
he promptly decided to have ices at the
Executive mansion.
Accordingly" says the historian.
guests at the next reception were
treated to the frozen mystery, and af-
forded considerable fun to the initial
ed by the reluctance with which they
tasted it, Those from the rural dis
tricts especially first eyed it suspicious
ly, then melted each spoonful with
breath before consuming it. Their dis
trust was soon removed, however, and
plates were emDtied with great rapid
Ity.
THE man who made the ice cream
was, oddly enough, a negro by the
name of Jackson, who in the carly part
Of the present century kept small
confectionery store in Washington.
Cold custards, which we're cooled by
setting them on cake of ice, were
very fashionable, and Jackson, at Mrs.
Hamilton's suggestion, froZe them by
placing the ingredients in lin buckle.
and completely covering them with ice.
Each bucket contained a quart and
was sold for ST."

AT EAST LAKE.

An excellent musical programme and the torrid June heat drew an immense crowd to East Lake yesterday after noon. In unconventional though com fortable attire several hundred persons famed by lake breezes listened to a sacred concert rendered by Memolf 8 full band assited by Miss Whaley. MT. Smith and the musical Goolmans. Miss Whaley sang the Holy City, and for an encore sang a pleasing southern melody. This was her last appearance in Birmingham for the summer.
 MT. Smith proved as popular as ever In his tenor solos and the Goolmans made a decided hit in their musical novelties. La Paloma on the zylophone was ex- ceptionally good.
 Those who were not musically inclined roamed around the lake resort, riding down the chutes and lounging under the welcome shades.
 Memolis Mass No. was sung in fine style at East Lake last night under the composers direction. There were about 35 voices in the chorus and the ensemble could not well have been smoother or flrmer. The soloists in the mass were Miss Coffin, Mrs. Kern-Mullin, MT Charles Houppert, MT. Charles Herbert Mir Edgar Brown and MT. Julius Rem brandt
 A select orchestra of fifteen pieces sup ported the singers.
 Each solo part was well delivered and Mir Brown In the "Domine Deus," achieved a brilliant triumph.
 The work of the chorus was notably effective In the Gloria the Credo and the Sanctus. The sweeping climaxes in the Gloria were indeed magnificent.
 The vaudeville bill at the theatre this week, opening tonight includes Ascott and Eddy In a novelty acrobatic and dancing act, la petite cantatrice Kettle de Courcey, with some new and popular songs. The musical Goolmans in a com pletely new act, MT. Charles Smith and the biograph with new films and real istic effects.
 Grambs orchestra will also rendr some of the very latest selections, which Is calculated to add much to the excel- lent bill offered.

It is selected for this weeks bill at Lakeview as being just the play to attract summer patrons. Kendall Wes- ton and Mona Darlington nave two great leading comedy parts.

KING EDWARD IS TOO
 ILL TO ATTEND CHURCH
His Majesty Attacked by Chill and is Unable to Leave His Apartments.
 Indisposltion Temporary.

London June liking Edward today Is suffering from chill which has pre- vented him from attending today's church parade of Aldershot garrison
 The chill came as a result of the king 8 prolonged stay out of doors last night upon the occasion of the torchlight tattoo at Aldershot. The chill was a slight one, accompanied by symptoms of lumbago.
 The weather last night was extremely cold and it rained at intervals before their majesties left the brigade recreation ground
 King Edward returned to his apart ments chilled from the unwonted expos ure. These reports of his majesty's H. ness have naturally caused apprehen- sion. but there Is apparently no reason to anticipate serious results.
 An authentic stat ement from Aldershot this afternoon is to the effect that King Edward is slightly indisposed. but that his condition is not of serious nature.
 Sir Francis Laking, physician fin ordin- ary to his majesty. was summoned to All dershot early this morning. He prescrib- ed for the king and recommended that today be spent in perfect qulet.
 Queen Alexandra and the other mem bers of the royal party attended the ser vice at church, but remained in the royal apartments for the rest of the day.
 It has been learned that the king arose this afternoon. This Is considered a good reason for hoping that his indisposition is only temporary.
 The Court Circular tonight publishes the following official announcement:
 King Edward was unable to leave his room today, owing to an attack of lum- bago caused by a chill"
 London, June 16.-Sir Francis Laking was in attendance upon his majesty Sunday night and found the king much better
 The latest expectation is that King Edward will be able to attend the re- view today.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Disgusting FIatness Apparent in the
 Speculative Circles.

London, June 15.-The stock exchange was just about as cheerful last week as though Lord Kitchener had surrendered to the Boers instead of the oBers hay ing sure ndered to Lord Kitchener. Few persons would have believed a month ago taht the announcement of peace could have been followed by such disgusted fatness in speculative circles. The set dement's showed the first reaction fol- lowing the celebration of peace but it by no means desclosed the worst side of the situation. The fimsy bull position which grew up during the week and the nego- tiations in South Africa which were in progress Is now known to be larger than anyone supposed.
 Consols did not share In the depres- sion last week; they finished fractionally better on continental buying. There was little investment business and even the gilt edge and home rails were generally flat, Americans were very quiet and are responding sluggishly to the improvement in New York.
