OPERATES CLEVER
 SWINDLING SCHEME
MAN GETS CARDS OF DYE HOUSES AND soLIcITS CLOTHES TO BE DYED, BUT THEY ARE NEVER RETURNED.

A smooth swindling scheme has been worked on many citizens of Birmingham in the past few days and as the result the swindler is plus several piles of clothing and number of citizens are minus equally as large a number.
 The scheme is a new one and it has worked effectually in many cases. Not only have the people been worked . but several dye establishments and pressing clubs are ''up against the same bad proposition.
 The plan of operation is as simple as it is effective. The swindler goes to sev- eral dye establishments and asks what they will dye a suit of clothing for. They name a price and he asks for several cards with the name of the proprietor on them. Fortified with the cards the swindler goes to various houses in the city and solicits clothing to be dyed and pressed.
 The clothing is not dyed pressed or re- turned to the owners and the swindler is a few suits "to the good the citizen is out the price of another suit and the dye house gets bad reputation.
 Several people are objecting to the plan of operation and it will be called to the attention of the police.

 WELL ATTENDED
SERVICES AT THE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH WILL BE HELD AT 3:3o p. M. AND AT sP. M. EACH DAY THIS WEEK.

The gospel meetings at the Cumberland Presbyterian church, corner Fifth ave- nue and Eighteenth street. will from in- dications. develop into a revival of reli- gion of the old fashioned sort.
 For several weeks the congregation. un- der the leadership of the pastor. Dr. Steel, has been preparing for the meet ing. Midday prayer services have been held at the church at 12:30 o'clock each day, and Q thorough organization for the work has been accomplished.
 Dr. W. T. Rodgers of Knoxville, who is to assist the pastor in the meeting. reached the city yesterday. and last night preached his first sermon to a Birming- ham congregation. His subject: What is Revival of Religion?" was handled under two heads: When Do We Need a Revival?" and How Can We Have a RevivaI?"
 The sermon closed with plea to Chris tian people to throw themselves into the work with energy and prayerful faith and to the unconverted to accept Christ.
 The results of the first meeting were gratifying. Scores of Christians pledged themselves to the work and quite a num- Der of others asked for prayer. All who witnessed last nights meeting felt tha: the success of the services are assured.
 One feature of the meeting is that all who attend receive q cordial handshake and a word of welcome. The services are at o'clock each evening and midday prayer at 12:3O o'clock. This programme will continue through the week.
