COMMERCIAL CLUB
 MAY BUILD SOON
IT Is SAID THAT PROJECT FOR ERECTING A HANDSOME CLUB BUILDING WILL BE PRESENTED Kf NEXT MEETING.

The Commercial club may erect a han lsome building of it's own in the nep' future At the next meeting, whleh will be held in about two weeks, the matter will be brought before the club, and it is expected that some action will be taken.
 For some time past the matter has been talked of by President Roden, Secretary Gibson and number of the most active members. They practi- cally agree that it would be great advantage to the club to have it's own building. where visiting parties can be entertained and where members of the club will feel at home.
 While the matter is only being dis cussed, and the general trend of the talk is that a handsome building of three or four stories should be erected and that it should be large enough to have three or four stores on the first floor which could be rented, number of offices on the second floor and the club rooms on the third or fourth floor with large parlors and a spacious as sembly room.
 Secretary Gibson said yesterday afternoon that so far there had been much said in favor of the building subject and that the members seemed to want it. He believed that the club would be gainer by having a build ing, and said they would probably take definite form soon.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Birmingham Policemen Deplore the
 Death of Capt. j. T. Meade.

At meeting of the police department a committee of three, consisting of J. K. Richardson, A. B. Brown and Joseph M. Nix, was appointed to draft resolutions of regret on the death of Captain James T. Meade, who for long time was clerk of the Police court. The resolution in part is as follows:
 Whereas, words are feeble to carry consolation to the hearts bereaved of a loving and affectionate husband, father and friend-a man who stood without a peer as an example of Christian fortitude, charity and gentility-pure in thought, action and deed. No one can fill his place in his home where he was as a gleam of sunshine. No one can occupy his place in the afflicted hearts of his loved ones. and we would not have the void filled. even if we could. It will be a sacred thought in years to come, to his family and friends, that he shed radiance in his home as long as he lived.
 Be 1t resolved. that in the death of Capt. James T. Meade the Birmingham police department tender his bereayed family their most heartfelt sympathy. and that copy of these resolutions be spread upon our roll call book and a copy sent to his family.

At the Bilou.

No act yet played at the Bijou has scored a bigger hit than that of the Colby family, which consists of the father, mother, Master Frank and Miss Byrle. The last two are certainly clever little performers. The entire act went well, but the features were the solo Ala bama," sung by Master Frank, and a new song, "Beautiful Fairy Tales" sung by Miss Byrle.
 The Pearce Brothers, two boys, also made a good impression by their original little sl1it, College Athletics" The boys are both clever and deserved the applause they received.
 Louis Failkowski, billed as pol phonist," has a nice, clean act and troduced some new stunts rarely used an impersonator. He mimics animals, b unlike other mimics he has head ( each animal which he placed over his oN head. and this adds a realism to the woI that is very pleasing.
 Bellman and Moore would make much better impression if the lady were little more dainty in handling her skirts The act is not very strong, except at the fin- ish, when the "bowery kid' turn Is tried. Throat trouble hurt the woman's sing ing, and was a serious damper to the act The other acts are all good. They are "The Flying Lathburns," pair of good acrobats, and Carr and Burns, in an Irish skit.

MA HIcAGo. March i6.--In the speech lS tonight before the Iroquois eiup' O MT. DeArmond worked his hear CTS up to. a high pitch of excitement. MT. DeArmond spoke to the toast, Looking to 1904" He said:
 Political parties, like armies, are or ganized to fight battles and win victories. Enlistments in them are not for any definite period but subject to cancellation at any time, at the option of the enlist ed. Once enrolled as party man. how ever, 1t Is a serious matter to desert, and more serious far to go over to the enemy
 In our country today two great rivals for political supremacy are preparing for the contest of 1904 the republican party and the democratic party. Flushed with victories unmerited, drunken with power usurped and abused, barnacled with abuses steadily increasing, under mighty but bad influences constantly growing worse, the republicans rely for success upon the interruptions activity of the classes, whose interests they have fos- tered at the public expense, hoping they may again delude the masses whom they , have betrayed Undaunted by defeat still confidently depending upon the people, still refusing to sacrifice the many for the selfish favor of the few, however powerful, still cherishing the principles upon which the party as well as the structure of our free institutions rests, the underlying democracy gives promise that 1t will conduct the coming campaign with the strength and ardor and wisdom and unselfshness which so often would rescue the republic from the reckless, un-American rule of the republican party may unite in one grand, harmonious ef- fort for victory for democratic prin- ciples, under the proud old democratic banner.
 Looking Backward.
 Let us look into the past without blinking and into the future with hope and courage. Let us remember that in 1896 and again in 1900 the democratic party suffered defeat because too many who professed its faith acted and voted with the enemy. Most likely division in the future would bring defeat as 1t brought it in the past. Like millions of others who gladly followed the party banner in the two great campaigns where Bryan led, I am proud of my party's record in those eventful years Let no one who hopes for democratic success in the near future assail the democracy of those trying times. If he did not or cannot agree with them upon all the issues of those campaigns, for the good of the party now let his dissent be in sorrow and silence.
 Let him try to draw the mantle of for getfulness over his arrangement if estranged he was. For surely all must realize that where the masses of the party pitched their tents there camped the party; and where the masses fought, there the party fought Let none who were away take offense when those who remained steadfast in the party's battle line sing of the glory of the conflict; for so shall we all sing of the glory of the
