TO WIPE OUT DISEASE.
City Sanitary Department Furnish
 ing Disinfectants Free

The city sanitary department is making special efforts during the hot weather to keep the city in sanitary condition as near perfect as possible. The usual vigorous summer campaign against un- cleanliness and disease has begun.
 The sanitary inspectors are making ex- aminations of all the premises in the city. To facilitate this work the city has been divided into beats in each of which one inspector makes the rounds.
 When any premises are found to be unclean or filtered with trash the family living there Is notified to improve the condition If the demand of the inspector for a cleaner condition is not complied with he is authorized to make an arrest.
 To encourage cleanliness in hot weather charge. The city has taken this step toward paternal government to insure wholesomeness and health In Montgom- cry. To the applicants for disinfectants the sanitary department gives lime, car bolic acid and a disinfecting paint. The application for disinfectants must be en- dorsed by one of the city sanitary in spectors and 1t must bear the additional endorsement of Chief Clerk Farley of the sanitary department
 The sanitary condition of the city at the beginning of summer is all that could be desired. The city is in an especially healthfuI state and premises that threaten the spread of disease could hardly be found within the corporate limits of Montgomery.

as far as we are concerned. He appears to be insearnest in wanting to fight Jeff fries. and we think he has the best right to recognition at the champions hands. v
 According to the reports from Fitz- simmons's training quarters, Lanky Bob Is contemplating a trip to London inn mediately after his fight with the cham pion. Dr. Ordway's offer on behalf of the National Sporting Club for fight between Fitz and the winner of the Sharkey- -Ruhlin battle during coronation week. still holds good.
 Fitzsimmons has never fought in Eng land, and the Britishers are more than anxious to see him perform. Even In the event of his losing to Jeffries he would be a strong drawing card for the London Club. should he decide to continue In the ring.
 Jimmy Britt, the lightweight champion of the coast who was obliged refuse a match with Joe Cans on account of hav- ing broken his hand during his recent fight with Kid Lavingne. will challenge the winner of tine Cans McFadden battle, which Is scheduled to take place here during the latetr part of this month The small bone which is broken in Britts hand is knitting nicely. and the local man will be able to indulge in light exercises within a week or so.
 Kid Lavingne's arm. which gave out on him during his disastrous contest with Britt. is still In had shape. It will be many weeks before the famous Saginaw Kid will be able to don the gloves again, and, for the matter of that, 1t is highly improbable that he will ever rc-eneter the ring.

At that time the culture and training given by that great seat of learning, the University of Nlr- ginia. was not eXCelled, and perhaps not eoualled, in thoroughness and extent by Harvard or Yale or any of the great universities of the country. And among the distinguished sons of that distin- ruished university there was no better example of her best traditions Of genu- inc scholarship and broad catholicity of culture than he to whom we pay honor today.
 'ln 1859 he married Miss Sallie J. Elem ing of a prominent family of Virginia. In 1852 he was elected to d chair in a college in Mississippi. and thus entered upon that high educational career which embraced precisely ono half century. which touched many of the institutions for higher education in the South, and which gained fo: Dr. Broun the secure reputation as one of the leaders of edu- cational thought and practice in America. In 1S54-6 he was Professor of Mathemat- ics in the University of Georgia; year subsequent he founded Bloomfield Acad- emy, perhaps the most successful classi- cal school in Virginia, and conducted that institution until the beginning of the civil war.
 At the outbreak of hostilities he quick ly responded to the call of his State. l can never forget his graphic account of the impassioned oration delivered before the students of the University by the eloquent Professor Holcombe, and how under its magic spell he felt that there was nothing quite so sweet as the marcH to the front and to die for old Virginia In the Confederate army he rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the ord nance Department, and on account or his high mathematical and scientific at tainments was made commandant of the arsenal at Richmond, one or the most innortant positions in the Confederate service.

At Auburn on Wed 1esday; last memorial exercises were held in honor of the late pr. William Leroy Broun, the President of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, who had done so much for the fnstitu- ton and for the education of the young men of Alabama and who died m, har- ness.
 On that occasion. the new President, Prof. c. c.

 Professor Thach. the new President, said:

Delaney Promises Match in That Case With "Gentleman Jim"- McGovern After Young Cor
 bett--News of the Plugs.

Montgomery fanciers of the fighting game will find lots to interest them within the next few months, as that branch of athletic sport is on a bigger boom now than has been for months. Both Jim Corbett and Kid Mccoy wanted to fight the winner of the Root-Carter fieht in Philadelphia last night, and De- laney manager of Jeffries says that if the boiiermaker whips Fitzsimmons he will take on CorDett next. In regard to the match between Young Corbett and Terry McGovern a despatch rom New London, Conn.,, says:
 Terry McGovern has consented to fight Young Corbett in this city on Friday, August 9. Manager Crowley selected this day, as it is the day before the Futurity is to be run at Sheepshead Bay, and thou sands of race followers will attend. as there is no racing around New York city on that day.
 It is expected that the champion will consent to battle on that day but if he is obdurate. Manager Crowley will go to Denver to impress upon him the urgency of consenting.
 A new board of aldermen will be elected on October ,, and the license granted by the present board will become invalid on election day.
 Thomas Donahue Is to have entire supervfsien of all the arrangements. as be is Mayor Darts representative in overseeing pugilism. W, l.. Crowley is exuected here soon to make arrange merits about the circus seats that are to be erected in the baseball grounds for the spectators.
 San Francisco special says of the es-Fitzsimmons fight:
 Neither Jeffries or Bob Fitzsimmons have exerted themselves to any great ex- tent iils preparing for their coming contest during the past two days. The hot weather which has prevailed is chiefly responsible for the rival fighters taking life easy.
 Jeffries has done no road work since last Saturday. ccntenting himself with boxing bouts in the gymnasium and d few games of handball Nevertheless. he is in good shape. and has already lost much of the superfiuous flesh which ham uared his movements when he first be- gan training.
 sJim is doing all right" said his man arer. Bliiy Delaney today. There is no sense in working him too hard at the xtart He is taking weight off by de- rrees. and win be in the pink of cond- lion when he turns himself loose in the ring with Fitzsimmons.

He knows that this paper aims to adver- tise only the best in it's columns, and when he saw Chamberlains Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suf- fered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using Pain Balm for few days my wife said to me.

Garden Editor The Advertiser:
 We have been watching the paper daily for news in regard to the garden contest, hoping the date had been arranged for the inspection. In our opinion if the time is put off later than July 1 there will be very few flowers to greet the eyes of the judges. The hot suns of the past few days playing havoc with roses and most Of the annuals. It Is said that in multitude of counsellors there is wis dom," but it strikes us that with so many suggestions you will find it very hard to decide just when will be the best time to settle the 'Vexed question. However since you have called for an expression of opinion We would suggest July l as the latest date.
