NEGRO MINISTERS
 ASKREFORM SCHOOL
MEETING YESTERDAY IN AID OF THE MovEMENT-JuDGE FEA- GIN ADDRESSES MEETING AND
 SHOWS NEED OF INSTITUTION.

A meeting of the colored ministers of Birmingham was held yesterday morn ing for the purpose of starting move ment looking to the establishment of a reformatory for colored boys in Birming- ham. If the effort is successful the insn. tuition will be made a state institution.
 Judge N. B. Feagin of the inferior crime inal court made an address perore me meeting in which he explained the need of such an institution. He told of the many cases which come under his obser- vatlon in his daily work where the same young negro boys are continually being brought before him on criminal charges, one following another almost as quick as the boy succeeds in serving out a sen tence. He told how the race in the long run would be benefited through sucn school and by learning the boys a trade they could be rescued, and could be used in reseuing others. He urged the mlnis- ters to work on the project. He offered to render all assistance in his power in get ting up the institution and conducting it. He thought there would be other white people in tho state who would consent to give assistance either as q contributing member or by serving on the board O. trustees after the institution has been established.
 The result of the meeting was a decis- ion to take up collections in all the churches of the district starting the movement. Nothing of a more definite na- ture was done.

ADJUSTMENTS.
nMeFadden,s Elats.u

With enc or two good rooms and Il number of bad ones. McFadden's Row of Flats was presented to a full house last night at the Jefferson theatre. Tho good ones are not newly furnished. but they always attract visitors, as was shown by the size of the audience.
 Ralstou and Sullivan, two diminutlve specimens Of manhood. were tho favor tics. They always make a hit in Bir- ningham, having been seen hero before with big companies. The exposition four. a musical team of merit. was a strong at traction and were given well earned ap- plause. There are three good voices in the quartette.
 Arthur Whitelaw and James Wesley, two political powers in the ward, and Mrs. Murphy. as presented by May Don ohue. were all favorites.
 Mary Ellen, the daughter of Mrs. Murphy Is featured" more than any one else, and probably deserves it less. Her voice is weak, but she is graceful and dances well. The stage settings are an improvement over those of last year and the costumes in several scenes are good

Coffee Causes Liver Congestion In
 Some People.

'We drank coffee some years. and 1t seemed an established law in our house. hold to take refuge with some medicine or physic to make the bowels move or re- lieve the stomach of It's pressure (coffee is generally the cause of persistent con- situation as 1t produces more or less con- gestion of the liver.)
 I was so nervous that my hands treni- bed sadly and sleep fled from me; I felt irritable all the time and unable to oJ much of any work. l had to force my self to do things; always felt lazy and had to drive myself to get around; the food I ate belched up and l always felt as If I weres bloated, and had such a. narrow and tight sensation in my chest. so that every little exertion started hot waves running through the whole body. followed by a cold, chilly sensation.
 But after I commenced to use Postum Food Coffee. and quit coffee these com plaints all disappeared; I feel well, enet- getic and hopeful; am better nourished and able to sleep well every night
 My husband was often sick and tns doctor and medicine were constantly needed in our house. but since we stopped coffee and used Postum, all these things are changed and that heavy fert- ing around the chest has gone.
 Every wife should introduce this whole some beverage into her family. Sn. would discover in a few days what rich food she had prepared for her loved ones. and would be rid of all of those oppress- ing sensations and stomach and bowel complaints which are caused by coffee drinking" Name given by Postum Co.

Tim Murphy.

MT. Tim Murphy. who comes to the Jeff ferson theatre next Monday night in a revival of "Old Innocence" is the same mildmannered. artistic comedian of old As the simple old phianthropist, Mir Murphy Is inimtable. The part was made for him and he for the part. The simple pathos that Jason Green" con- trives to scatter through the three acts of this pretty play. touches the heart of everyone who sees it.

ENLAReINe SCHOOLS.
More Pupils Than New WoodIawn
 School Can Accommodate.

The Woodlawn public schools opened last Monday with an enrolment of 400 pupils, which is 100 more than has ever been enrolled before the first day and the present large building is entirely insuf- ficient to accommodate the children of the town for the present year. However, the board of education met on Tuesday night and planned for new buildings suf- ficient to accommodate all children who may enter the schools during the ses- sion. New furniture and equipment have been ordered and the new apartments will be ready for the children within three weeks.
 In the meantime the present corps of teachers will take charge of all children who may appear for entrance and work will go on as usual. The board of edu- cation and the city council are awake to the needs of the school and propose to be ready to accommodate the large growth in population.

President of AnaIganated Assn
 at St PauPs Hall
HE BRINGS ABOUT HARMONY
Came Here to straighten Out Differ enees Existing Between Rolling Mill Men and Companies and
 Did It Satisfactorily.

President T. J. shaffer of the Amalga- mated Association of Iron. Steel and Tin workers, who came to this city several days ago for the purpose of adjusting the plate scale and putting the men at the Birmingham rolling mills and the Bessemer rolling mills on the same foot ing, announced last night that he had come to a perfect understanding with the two companies concerned--the Re- public and the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company-and that the men were thoroughly satisfied with the settle ment.
 Mir. Shaffer was busy every minute of 1 yesterday and the day before and was naturally fatgued, but he was prevailed upon to make an address to organized labor last night and those who failed to hear him missed an impressive talk
 The address was delivered Tn St. Pauls hall. On the platform with MT. shaffer was National Vice President William Jenkins, President L. A. Fitzpatrick of Jefferson Lodge No. 6, President Frank Lewis. of Bessemer Lodge No. B. Presi- dent Marcus Carroll of Alabama No 1, Gate City
 The audience was made up chiefly of members of the Amalgamated associa- tion in this district, including representa- tives from the lodge at Helena, but there were also present workers in other trades.
 Mir. Shaffer began his speech by saying that he would talk plainly and would re- frain from any attempt at oratory. He intended, he said, to talk about subject in which all present were interested, about subject that had claimed the thoughtful attention and had had the scrutiny of the world for ages past-that of organization.
 Labor Parades.
 You celebrated Labor day here in Birmingham" the speaker said, land we tried to celebrate 1t in Pittsburg, but the inclemeney of the weather prevented us Thomas Armstrong, the founder of the Labor Tribune, and labor leader of twenty-five years ago, said: Oh, no, gem tlemen, you must not think of having a labor parade in Pittsburg. Our enemies would know our strength and mark for victimization our members
 That meant that organized labor in the past was afraid to manifest or de- clare itself. Today there is not city. town or hamlet in the land where labor is afraid to lift it's banners"
 MT Shaffer then proceeded to point out the necessity of an organic system. In the labor world it meant fair wages and fair hours of work. He said the amalga- mated association stood foremost in gaining the eight-hour day. As far back as 1879 the members of the association had the three-turn day. The speaker then elaborated on the humanitarian side of the eight-hour question and said that this eight-hour system should commend itself to every father and mother and to every philanthropist.
