Eame-and the Butler.

From the Pilgrim.
 Senator Deliver of Iowa tells of an embarrassing incident which once oc- cured to him. It Is supposed to illus trate the difficulty a man of small means finds in getting along at the national capital.
 "On one occasion I was invited to attend a social function given by a high official. I went and had a most delightful time, concluding that Wash ington social life was not a thing to be in the least afraid of This con clusion was reached, by the way, just as I was taking leave of the host
 "A liveried servant approached me if my carriage was in waiting and whether it was single or double conveyance. Out of consideration for a lean pocketbook I had ordered a cab rather than two-horse carriage. I had the pleasure of hearing the serv- ant shouting to the carriage driver:
 Senator Delivers one-horse hack! Senatcs' Delivers one-horse hack!'
 "The man then came to me, and, with his head high in the air, an- nounced Your hacks waitin', Sena- tor Dolliver.'

Frank Daniels.

In writing Miss Simplicity" the oper- to appear at the Jefferson theatre Thurs day, R. A. Barnet seems to have con- cocted one of the weirdest complications that have ever graced the comic opera stage. The principal thing that is ex- pected of the iibretto for a Daniels piece is that it shall afford plenty of chances for this rotund merry maker to display the droll and unique comedy methods for which he has become famous From what is known here now of the role MT. Bar net has given the comedian plenty of funny things to do His new part is known as Blossoms" Seats and boxes for Daniels appearance here will be ready this morning.

BIRMINGHAM HAS
 FOOTBALL TEAM
Local Enthusiasts Meet and
 Perfect Organization
WILL PLAY SEVERAL GAMES
First Practice VIII Be Held Tonight On Athletic Club Team's Court and All Players Are Request
 ed to Be Present.

Birmingham Is to be represented on the gridiron, and by an eleven that can hold it's own with the best of them. In re- sponse to call published for candidates the following men met at the Birming- ham Athletic club last night; Bradford, Ward, Jeffries, Bowron, Lum, Brooks, Huey, Perkins, Sullivan, Mcclure, Tow CTS, Bowling, Finch, Allison and Piokens.
 Speeches were made by the different candidates and on motion It was decided to get down to work at once. Press Brooks, who for the past three years, has been 0 prominent player on sewanee's eleven, was elected captain and Champ Pckens manager. In addition to the men present the following have prom ised to join the other candidates and do all in their power to strengthen the team: Gwinn, Peck and Bulger and Will Brown locally and Dewitt and Mitcham, prominent eastern players.
 Mir. Hall. number of years famous '97 team, has consented to assist in coaching. The material and enthusiasm, which are both essential. was in evidence at last nights meeting and there Is no reason why Birmingham should not pro- duce a winning eleven. Games will be played at West End park on Saturday afternoons and occasional trips will be taken to southern cities.
 The first game in all probability will be played against Tuscaloosa on the Uni versity campus.
 The strong university of Texas eleven ho nd they will wish to go up against the local eleven. Chattanooga. Selma, Montgom- cry and New Orleans will also be tackled.
 The tennis courts will be properly light ed and the first practice will take place tonight. Every one who cares to try for the team is invited and a large at- tendence is expected.
 Both Auburn and Tuscaloosa returned home Sunday morning, the varsity boys were pretty blue but left determined to put in two weeks of hard work, and turn the tables on the University of Georgia in their game with them, which takes place at West End park on No vember 1. Auburn will not be seen again on the local gridiron until November 6, when they go up against their old rivals, Sewanee. The teams are about evenly matched and "the fur is sure to fy'' when they meet.

He Wanted Quotations.

From the New York Times.
 According to MT. John Claflin, presi- dent of the H. B. Claflin Company, his father, the founder of the house, made a strong effort to maintain personal re- lations with his customers. He always encourages buyers to come to him for a friendly talk, and as far as possible he advises them concerning the matters in hand
 One day a customer called, and as he entered the private office MT Claf1in looked up from his desk and called: Hello, how are you feeling today?'
 .1m feeling fine. MT. Clafiin; I never was better"
 And how is the business?"
 70 that's different, Mir. Claflin, I think I must have a failure
 What? A failure? How is that; haven't you made money?'
 T used to, MT. Claflin. but not now; business is bad. very bad, MT. Claflin, and think I must fail.''
 well. now, I'm sorry. But will it be a bad failure? How much will you pay?" "Ah, that is what I want to see you about How much are they paying now. Mr. Claflin?"

Charles B. Hanford is said to have gone to greater expense in staging Much Ado About Nothing and Flaming of the shrew." both of which he will present at the Jefferson theatre on Friday and Sat urday October 24 and 25, than in any productions made by him during his stellar career. Every scene in the play Is a masterpiece of the scene painter s art, while the costumes are magnificent and correct in every respect Starting with this advantage, MT. Hanford has followed 1t up by securing an unusually competent company.

NOTHING LIKE PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND For Cleansing and Puri- lying the Blood.
It Removes the Germs of Di- sease, InvigOrates and
 ReluvenateS.

Thousands of men and women who have neglected the work of physical re- cuperation in the summer months, are now carrying a burden of disease. Tn the majority of cases, impure and poisoned blood and a sluggish circulation are the direct causes of suffering and misery. Are you, dear reader, one of the uh- happy victims? If so, the life stream must be made pure, the health-wreeking laxity of the blood vessels must be cor rected, the nerves and tissues must be nourished. Paine's Celery Compound is the medicine that physicians recommend for the increase of pure blood in the arteries, and for arousing the purifying organs to cast off the impurities that give rise to disease. MT. Jas. r. Hudson, Spring Ridge, La, was terrible sufferer from impure blood he tells how he banlshed his troubles;-
 i Prom some cause my blood became impure and resulted in boils and pimples. ! At one time I suffered from 27 boils. No one can imagine what I suffered. l tried sulphur, sarsaparillas and other remedies but no relief came. Mir. Sebastian, a merchant whom 1 used to clerk for hand ed me one of your circulars and insisted that I should use Paine's Celery Com pound. After using two or three bottles the boils were not so numerous nor as large After using the fifth bottle, l was entirely cured, and have been my self ever since.s
