LIKE SOME MEN.

Among the birds that are living a
higher life, it is the female bird who
carries the hod during building time.
The husband sits about on twigs and
tells her how to do 1t. A woodpecGer
should be a very pariah among de-
cent birds. The moment a woodpeck.
er's mate gets through her nesting he
tells her ito take her clothes and Co."
then he establishes himself In the
house she has built-and she goes and
builds another for winter. She is fool
enough to take another wOodpecker
to boss the job, II she can nnd one

male woodpeckers at that time are as
comfortably provided for as her legiti.
mate spouse, so she has to work with.

difficult to the voter. All the voter
has To do is to go into a booth, mark
his ballot with cross opposite the
name of each man he wishes to vote
for, from governor to constable, two
United States senators included. and
deposit the same in the ballot box,

 The party is greatly interested in the Birmingham district. and their visit here may mean much to the cdty and county. They will be carried to the furnaces, mines, rolling mills. pipe works and other giant industries while on the trip around the horn. The large companies will con- tribute to the entert tainment of the wis., itors and they will be given pleasant time while in the city.

SELMA.
Post Meet Has Been One of BriIIiancy.
 Carnival a Success.

Selma, November 15.-(Special.) )-The past week has been a brilliant one in Selma's history. Some months ago, in the face of no apparent encouragement, the Fall Fesital association was organized, and 1t was decided to give during the week of November 10-15 some entertain zment whereby crowds would be attracted to the city. The Gasl1il- Mundy company was engaged to furnish the midway at- fractions and good list of premiums was offered for the Alabama raised stock and poultry. The merchants and citizens having on two previous occasions seen street fairs and carnivals prove disastri- ous were loathe to lend hand, but today after a most successful week they are loud in their praise of the affair and the management is receiving congratula- tons on every hand. Several merchants are in favor of organizing a county fair association for next year and it is likely that some steps will soon be taken in that direction.
 The social event of the season perhaps will be the wedding on Wednesday night next of Miss Claude Melvin and Hugh Mallory. The bride is a belle not only of Selma but in various places of the state. She is well known in Birmingham, where she has frequently visited being neiee of John Tillman. The groom is the eldest son of H. s. D. Mallory and is graduate of the University of Alabama and young attorney of much promi- hence. Porter Walker of Birmingham will be one of the attendants at the we'd ding.

0rrTIAlO 6El l ING READY fUR TIE SOCIETY CIRCUS Some of the Stunts to
 be Done THE PINK PALMA BOY
So Far Ills Identity Has Been Sue cessfuIIy Concealed In Spite of Efforts to Discover Who
 He Is.

The Birmingham Athletic club society circus will be presented Monday night November 24, at the Jefferson theatre. to compose the circus are being arranged and the performers or artists. are rest ing neither night nor day from their work of preparation.
 From green hands with no stage ex- perience, we'll rounded stars with scintil- lating brillancy are being worked out. and the rafters of the theatre will be shaken Monday night with the applause which it is needless to say will follow every man as he leaves the stage. Bar mum and Bailey, Sells Brothers and Ring ling, it is said will all have agents on the grounds waiting to purchase outright all the acts which make good'' on this occasion.
 There are the "Pajama Boys" chief of whom will be the boy with the pink pajamas. who has made a reputation for himself by the originality and beauty of his costume and the great secrecy which has attended his movements. This mysterious parsonage has so far prevent ed his identity from leaking out.
 Among the performers will be J. D. Dedman, Walter BlacRman and Paul Chalifoux. as musical wonders, introduc- ing slight of hand tricks, burlesque on famous musicians and concluding with the feature, 'The Bottle Brigade"
 By far the greatest novelty of the even ing will be the "Junket of the Jesters," dance among dances.
 The athletic "bunch' promises more than was ever promised by a similar combination. Among the members of the team are Professor Miles, the strongest man on the American stage, who is said to have lifted a 5000 pound weight with his little finger. Associated with him are B. W. Theis, the only man who can turn handspring without touching his hands to the floor; Sam House, beyond a doubt the most eccentric and marvellous tum- bier in the world; Ed Spencer, the won- derful juggler, and others OF equal fame.

COMMITTEES FAVOR
 TIE BISHOP ELECT
Thirty Have So Far Expressed
 Their Approval
REV. MIR. MURRAY RETURNS
Has Been Absent for Four Weeks. Services Today in the Church of the Advent-correspond-
 enee About Bishop.

The Rev John G. Murray and family returned home yesterday. after an absence of nearly four weeks During the three Sundays that MT. Murray was away the regular services were held at the Church of the Advent, of which he Is rector, with the exception of holy communion. This morning at 7:3O there will be holy com munion and at Il a. m. and 8 D. m. the usual services with preaching by the rec tor.
 . MT. and Mrs. Murray had a pleasant trip. They went from here to Philadelphia where Mir Murray attended the mission ary council of the church. They spent a week In New York several days in Wash
 ngton. day or two in Cumberland Md. day in Louisville and a week at Salt Lick Ind. Cumberland Is MT. Murray's native place but 1t had been 26 years since he was there. He found few, If any of the friends of his youth. living in the old town, but he reveled in the familiar scenes of the days agone.
 On his return Mir Murray became at once busy with church work. As chair man of the standing committee of the diocese he handles the correspondence and the papers pertaining to the bishop elect. Up to last night he had received replies from exactly 30 standing commit tees of the United States. including his own, giving consent to the conservation of Dr. Charles Minnigerode Beckwith to the office of bishop But as there are six ty diocese 1t takes 31 standing committees to make a majority, and a majority "con- sent" is required. Another committee is almost certain to be heard from by Mon day. Just so soon as Chairman Murray is advised of one more committees con- sent ha will forward the evidences of consent to the Right Rev. Thomas U. Dudley of Kentucky who Is acting for the presiding bishop of the United States, and ask him to obtain the consent of the members of the house of bishops for Dr. Beckwith's consecration. As soon as a majority of the prelates are heard from made for the solemn ceremony of elevat- ing Dr. Beckwith to the episcopate.
 MT. Murray met Dr. Beckwith at the missionary council. The latter expressed the hope that his conservation would take place on St. Andrews day, November 30, which will be also the first Sunday in Advent. But it will be impossible for the church authorities to arrange matters I for so early a date. MT. Murray says the conservation will probably take place on 1 CT about the 18th of December.

REGISTRATION BEGINS.
Books Are Again Open for the Last
 Time.


 The registrars of Jefferson county are again at work registering those who have failed to register. They met yesterday morning in the first floor lobby of the court house and they will be at the same place this week, up to Friday night They will hold another sitting on December 13 15 16, IT, IS and 19, and that will be the last chance for registration under the temporary plan prescribed In the new constitution.
 Only three persons registered yester- day, but 1t is thought that a large num- Der will apply for certificates this week and at the closing sitting in December.
 The city election will take place in May. and many who have not yet re- ceived registration certificates will be anxious to secure them, so as to be able to participate in the next municipal elec- tion.
