 perishing among us from lung trouble. stomach trouble, kidney trouble, nervous trouble heart trouble, bladder trouble, eye. ear. nose and throat troubles, etc., simply because they can't afford expert speciality treatment.
 Under the Arno theory this is very much the same as the vast numbers or ship-wreeked sailors were allowed 10 drown like rats, because unable to pay charges to life saving crews or Tor seats in life boats When we say that so many inyalids perish for want of proper care and medicines the meaning of IL IS that help from the medical profession IS Wlth- held cruelty, if not criminally rom per ishing thousands. Physicians as rule are not ruffians and savages, given to violence and rough bloodshed, put too many of them sin by apathy, by passive indifference. they don't notice the wide hell of sickness and suffering that IS al- ways roaring around them.
 How can Dr. Arno afford to give his treatment and medicines free IS question that may be asked. We will tell you. The treatment is the best in the world and the company has $5O,- 900 in cash to introduce it. It has been proven what it will do, and now they give Iu6 tuIlIS puDllS ShS OP portunity to test 1t free of charge. All who call at the Arno Institute on or before February 15 will be given ten days treatment and medicines abso- lutely free. So all you have to do is to call on Arno on or before the 10th or February and you will receive exami- nation, consultation, treatment and all necessary medicines free for ten days. Surely this is fair. Don't delay until the last hour, but come at once. Re member this: Don't get the Arno In stitute mixed up with any other in the city. This is no catch proposition or offer to treat free and charge for medicines, but an unqualified bona fide offer to treat free all who come for ten days, including all medicines, without cost and without price to all who call on or before Feb. IS. In the Arno Institute you wlli lind regular graduated physicians, qualified under the State laws, men of experience and learning It is not safe to experiment with doctors in name only. The phy' sicians of the Arno Institute are men of national reputation.
 The opportunity of z lifetime is now If you are sick; if you are not the man you ought to be; if you are not the woman you would like to be; the young lady with hollow, -..nken cheeks, sal low and pimpled complexion, and have been treated without any benefit, don't pay out any more money.

MARKET TONE GOOD.
Flrmness Displayed on Security List
 Last Week Remarkable.

London February 8.-Whle the con dition of tagnation prevailed on the stock exchange during last week. the firmness displayed by the general list of securities was remarkable. The public is not inclined to trade while these questions concerning Venezuela, South Africa, Macedonia and Morocco remain unsettled. The decision fin favor of the steel corporation, rendered at Trenton, N. J., Thursday had a favorable influence on industrial combination stock, and American coal shares showed activity. Mexican silver 3s lost their previous ad- vance, which resulted from President Roosevelts message on the proposed sil- yer conference because of the assertion repeatedly made here that little will come cut of the conference.
 Argentines were another feature of the market. They improved because of the removal of the British restriction on the import of Argentine cattle and on the crops.
 Taken altogether, the tone of the mar ket was good and financial writers gener- ally hold out the hope of an early re- sumption of active business when the present causes of nervousness are re- moved, as promised.

GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH
 AT THE BIJ0U THEATRE

 When l look at q congregation I won der how many before me had called on God and swore to serve Him, and gone back on their pledges.
 General Booth concluded his sermon by saying that there was great power in salvation; power to make a man give up sin, and power to save. He said My cry morning, afternoon and night is for power to save souls. Paul, when asked wherein lay his power, said he did all things through Christi"
 After the sermon number of songs were sung, and several prayers offered one by Commander Booth-Tucker Col onel Lawler made a stirring appeal to sinners and several went forward to the platform for prayer. Among the songs sung were Saviour, Hear My Humble Cry Just As I Am Without One Plea, '' and "Whiter Than the Snow.' The services were over by a quarter to ore o'clock.

 to be of benefit to those who need the services of skillful as well as honest specialists. For the treatment is given free. This verdict (that the Arno System is the best In existence) the opponents of the Arno System are powerless to withstand They cannot deny the super iority of the treatment. and they content themselves with crying that Arno of fices are crowded. and that patients are, therefore not given sufficient turn for thorough attention. The management of the Arno Institute pride themselves o1, the complete system and manner of att tending to their patents-they are so per- fectly equipped that 1t is now possible to give treatment to over 100 patients daily. without the least hurry with few long waits and with ample time for every case. There is more than an exposure of the deceptive use of the word Free" in the plan of the Arno Company as car- ried out under the clear and unequivocal offer of absolutely costless free treat ment. Behind it all Is his aim that the whole people shall have the benefit of diagnosis by scientific specialists. and that the best treatment shall be within the reach of all. We all know as a matter or fact, too many people are all the time

He preached from the text, And what shall 1t profit man if he gain the whole world and loose his own soul"
 The sermon was stirring and at the con- clusion a number of persons came for ward to signify their desire to serve God. The discourse was divided Into three sub heads, the first of which was that every man, woman and child within hearing Of his voice had a soul. In the second and third heads he discussed the treatment of the soul.
 General Booth said that there was no doubt that every man had a soul which Is immortal The Bible speaks plainly of the immortality of the soul and says that the regenerated soul goes to heaven and endless happiness, while the soul of the unredeemed sinner is last He then re- ferred to the vegetable and certain kinds of animal. life to show that they had to undergo changes. He spoke of the butter fly and it's transformation from the chrysalis state to that of active life. He said that this was an example of the life of man. That there was surely a soul in him which lived forever
 The speaker said that man can sever his connection with time, but not with eternity, and that his actions here set tied his eternal state.
 The Second Head.
 The second head was, "It is possible for you to save your soul. If the soul is forfeited the sinner shall die an ever lasting death. He has broken the laws of God and must pay the penalty unless he is redeemed. He has the opportunity to take 1t back again as the gift of God The converted sinner is like the prisoner behind the bars who expects to die for having committed murder, but at the last moment messenger comes stating that the President has pardoned him under promise that he break the law no more, and confesses to his crime. The prisoner falls at the feet of the mes- senger and confesses his crime and goes away a free man. So with the Christian
 'I represent God as his messenger, and if you go away from here after accept- ing his pardon, you are a free man." The Last Head.
 The third subhead was the Possibility of loosing the soul" The speaker assert ed that all men were born in sin, and therefore condemned to die He said that there is nothing on earth that a man cannot loose. In the slums you can see people who have lost their virtue, in the jail those who have lost liberty, in the hospital those who have lost their head and rave, and in the asylum those who nave lost their reason, in the cemetery those who have lost their life, and in hell those who have lost their souis
 The speaker closed by saying that man would lie awake at night if he lost money, but seemingly many of them do not care if they loose their soul. He then asked all who wanted to save their souls to come forward and confess their sins.
 General Booth will leave for Atlanta to- day.

GREAT CROWD HEARS
 BOOTH IN AFTERNOON
J. B. Babb Makes Felicitous Speech of ntroducton-The Salvation
 Leader Tells of His Work

General Booths afternoon service of and the chief feature of the meeting was the lecture by the general, entitled '"rhe Story of My Life''
 The theatre was packed and every ut terance of General Booth had the closest attention. After prayer by Commander Booth Tucker, and a song by Col. John Lawley, J. B. Babb. managing editor of the Birmingham News introduced General Booth and welcomed him to Birmingham in an eloquent little speech that brought forth hearty applause. MT. Babb con- cluded by saying:
 Birmingham is honored as she has rarely been honored In having this great est of modern religious workers present and I consider it a very great honor and deem 1t a privilege to have the pleasure of introducing to you Gen. William Booth, commander of the Salvation Army"
 When the applause had subsided, Gen eral Booth thanked the audience for so hearty welcome, and said that since coming to thls country he had been treat ed very generously.
 'I do not mean to be egotistical when I say l think 1t Is deserved-not so much because 1t is meant for myself as because it Is meant for my people and the work we are doing.
 There Is a certain curiosity in the minds of everyone about the Salvation Army and this curiosity is because of the armys success. No one was ever curious about thing that is failure.
 '"rhe first feature or the armys sue cess Is the vast amount of territory it now covers. l started into the work prac- tically alone, depending only on God"
 The general then gave an outline of the work of the army since It's foundation, mingling humor and pathos in his mar ration. As an illustration of what the army is doing he said that 1000 of the lowest and most wretched. and most degraded people were sheltered every night.
 Many would say these people deserve no sympathy" remarked the speaker, they brought their trouble on themselves. I want to ask you one question. If a man should recklessly cross the street and get his leg broken and fall down help less would you say: Let him lie, he de- serves it, he brought 1t on himself? One Is as deserving the other" He concluded with a beautiful illustra- tion of how much better is the love for fellowman than the possession of any amount of gold.
 The lecture was full of interest from beginning to end.

GERMANY AND ITALY
 HAVE AN ALLIANCE
DISCLOSURE OF SECRET AGREE MENT BETWEEN THEM WILL PUT ALL OF THE DIPLOMATS MORE CLOSELY ON GUARD.

Washington, February S.-The diselos- ire of a secret alliance between Ger many and Italy constituted the most i'm portant development in the Venezuelan situation Saturday. This fact has been made known to the British ambassador, and 1t will put all of the negodators more closely on their guard In the draft ing of the protocols which they hope to submit to Minister Bowen during the next two days.
 The Germany-Italian alliance was old news to MT Bowen, the fact having leaked out in Caracas before he left there. Generally speaking, the alliance Is intended to secure 10 Italy ths same treatment in the allies settlement with Venezuela as that received by Germany and Great Britain. MT Bowen has made Il plain, both to the British ambassador and the German minister, Baron Speck Von Sternberg, that he cannot affix hls signature to any protocols they may pre- sent to him which are not substantially of the same character as that to be suo- mtted by the Italian ambassador Signor Mayor Desplanches.
 All three of the first set of protocols to be signed which will contain the con- ditions precedent to the raising of the blockade and the provisions for referring the question of preferential treatment to The Hague for division, have been reeeiv- ed at the Italian, British and German embassies. Their contents are not known to MT. Bowen nor have the allies repre- sentatives been acquainted as yet with the details of each others conventions. Several important conferences have oc- cured throughout the day at the British embassy in an effort to reach an agree ment upon the protocols. Regarding re- ference to The Hague Mir. Bowen has informed the allies that he will not con- sent that one man be selected from the personnel of The Hague tribunal to sit arbiter in the question of preferential treatment. He wishes that this court shall consist of three and preferably of five members
