All widows GOODNESS is on the out
side.
Married couples have to quarrel just
to learn not to.
The best thing for a girls complex
ion is for man to catch her climbing
an apple tree.
Some people seem to think that just
because a man is bachelor he is deaf,
dumb and blind.
man is married by the way he acts as
If he weren't when he Is away from
home.
1t Is just like woman when she Is
talking to man over the telephone to
whisper to him so Central can't
hear.
1t is the girl that slips through a
mans fingers just when he thinks he
has caught her that he keeps on want
ing to catch.
BY the time an afternoon tea party
has got through with a good woman's
reputation 1t looks as if it belonged in
a problem play.
Women are so conscientious that
when they are in a bath tub and a
servant tells them that some man has
called to see them they blush.
A woman has an idea that 1t is bet
ter for her not to balance her check
book monthly SO the cashier won't
know how little money she has.
girl always thinks man is i'm
pressed with the beauty of her face
when he turns around to take another
look to see how in the world she keeps
her hat on.
The skeleton that every man thinks
he keeps safely hidden in the closet at
home walks along the street behind
him, grinning over his shoulder at all
his friends.-New York Press.
A man can always make woman
believe he loves her If he remembers,
when he writes he Is coming to see
her, to ask her to wear certain dress
that she knows she looks pretty in.

RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism does not come and go with winter
time always; in fact some suffer more during the
Spring and Summer than at any other season When
the blood is charged with Uric Acid Alka and other
irritating posons, then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop, and an attack
is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer:
Rheumatism because it attacks different parts OF
the BODY and Is sudden or slow in its action is given
various names such as acute and chronic muscular,
artcular nAammatory nercuria and sciatic but it IS
the same old acid blood that causes all. Some aN

Miss Carrie Glenn Carr and MT. Jos Price Perkins were united in marriage last night at o'clock at the residence of the brides parents, 1916 Eighth avenue, North.
 The wedding was a quiet affair and only a very limited number of the friends of the contracting parties were present, beslues the relatives.
 The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Carr, and is a very popular young lady. She wore last night a white silk gown trimmed in point lace, and carried beautiful bunch of roses. The groom is we'll known in Bir- mingham, having been connected In an important position with the Moore & Handley company for several years. He formely lived in Atlanta, where he had number of friends.
 Immediately after the ceremony the company went to their future home, 1902 Fifth avenue. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. F. McFerrin.

MAKING AN EFFORT
 FOR UNIQUE EXHIBIT
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB GOING TO WORK TO RAISE MONEY FOR A COLOSSAL STATUE OF IRON MAN.

The matter of a Birmingham district exhibit at the St. Louis exposition was again enthusiastically taken up yester- day by the Commercial club and the committee which has 1t in charge was instructed to go to work this week and get things in shape so that there would be no doubt about the exhibit being ready when the exposition opens.
 J. A. Mcknight read a letter from J. A. Holmes, chief of the mines and metal lurgy department of the exposition, stat Ing that the idea of a colossal statue made of iron would be very appropriate and that a suitable space for it had al- reary been reserved by him. The letter stated that the statue could be forty-five feet high and that 1t would be placed in the best location In the building of that department
 Several members of the club took occa- sion to endorse the idea of statue and 1t Is generally believed that this will be the means used to advertise the re- sources of the district. There seems to be no doubt but that the club will be able to raise 1000 for this purpose.
 It has also been suggested by J. A. MacKnight that several thousand little statues, the proper size for a paper weight. be moulded exactly like the larger one and be sold at the exposition. He thought that enough could be sold to pay the entire expense of the larger statue. He also suggested that after the exposi- ton the statue could be moved to Bir- mingham and placed in one of the parks, where 1t would remain a long time.
 Major John W. Johnstone, formerly president of the club and one of the most active members, made an interesting talk on the efforts of Virginia, his home at present. to have an exhibit and that there would be a subscription of about S75,OO0 raised for that purpose outside of the ap- propriation of $50,OO0 made by the state. Culpepper Exum and others also spoke endorsing the matter.
 President Jackson stated that he had met with much encouragement in pre- liminary scout to see how much money was available.

COMMITTEE MAKES
 REPORT ON DEPOT
COMMERCIAL CLUB AGiTATING FOR LARGER PASSENGER STA TIoN-SPEClAL COMMITTEE TO REPORT AT NEXT MEETING.

At the meeting of the Commercial Club yesterday afternoon a committee of fivs ! was appointed by President Fred M. Jack son to further take up with the rail- roads the matter of larger and better passenger station accommodations In Bri- mingham.
 The committee was appointed on motion of T. H. Motion, which followed the re- port of w. J. Cameron, of tha miscella- neous and grievances committees of the club, who had been Investigating the mat ter. As result of his investigation Mir. Cameron reported thar the site Of the present union pass anger sta Ion Is the property of the South and North railroad company, ttat that tnls company feels that the present accommodations are suf- ficient for its own uses.
 The report further stated that the South and North railroad was willing to cancel its portion of the leases of the other roads using the station whenever these roads felt desire to erect another depot. The leases of the other roads ex- pire in four years, but the South and North Is willing for them to withdraw at any time.
 The committee appointed consists of w J. Cameron. T, c. Mcdonald, Culpep- per Exum, Ross C. Smith and T. D. Jackson. The work of this committee is to communicate with the Southern rail-
  raod, the A. G. S., the Frisco. Central of Georgia, the Illinois Central and the S. A. l.. to see'if they would be willing to can eel their leases with the South and North and to aid the city in securing better de- pot facilities
 The committee will be expected to make a report at the next meeting of the club, Several members of the club spoke on the matter yesterday afternoon and the gist of the talks was that any one who went to the depot from 5 o'clock in the morning to Il o'clock at night would readily recognize the importance of larger and better accommodations
 The club feels that the depot was ad equate for all purposes two or three years ago, but that the volume of busi- ness at present is such that it requires depot of almost twice the size of the present one to properly accommodate travellers.

AMERICAN ECONOMIC ASSN.
Commercial Club Will Probably Invite It to Stop Here.

It is probable the Commercial club will invite the American Economic association to spend day or two in Birmingham while travelling to or from the annual meeting to be held in New Orleans in November.
 A party of the leading members is being organized to make a trip through the various points of interest in the south, and among these places Bir- mingham is mentioned as one of the leading iron and coal centers of the country.
 Richard H. Edmonds, editor and gen. eral manager of the Manufacturers Record, has been asked to plan a suitable trip with the proper stopping points to see the industrial south, and he had included Birmingham in the arrangements, which he prints in an editorial in his paper.
 The other places mentioned are Richmond, Norfolk, Durham, Colum- bia, Atlanta. Mobile and New Orleans. The return trip is to be through Beau mont, Memphis, Nashville, Chatta nooga and then through Kentucky West Virginia and finally end at Balti more, after visiting Washington.

YELLOW FEVER
 STILL EPIDEMIC
Situation at Laredo is Believed
 to Be Some Better
WORSE AT NEUvO LAREDO
Six Deaths Have Occurred in the Mex iean City Within Twenty-four Hours-ImpossibIe to Learn
 the Number of Cases.

Laredo, Tex, October 2.-The yellow fever Is still epidemic hereS but In the opinion of the experts the conditions have greatly improved. and it is not improb- able that next week will show further improvement.
 Today's official figures show the pro- gress of the disease as follows:
 New cases today, 6.
 Deaths, l.
 No suspicious cases.
 Total cases to date, 61.
 Total deaths to date, f.
 Dr. Tabor in an interview today stated that the situation in Duval county was unchanged. The doctor said he expected that the state militia would be on the ground this morning, but it now appears that the Nueces county authorities will be induced to permit the running of trains into Duval Without such an extreme measure as the calling out of the troops be resorted to.
 The doctor stated that Duval county Is entirely free from yellow fever. and that even in the event of that county being in- fected, 1t would never do to prevent the admission of supplies to a starving peo- pie.
 Some of the press reports which have been sent out, according to the doctor, are of a startling nature and very much exaggerated. He expressed the opin- ion that the situation is not so serious as the outside world seems to believe, and said that In the event of Its assum- ing a graver status he would unhesitat- ingly make the fact known.
 After next Sunday no more passengers will be permitted to pass through tnls port from Mexico without going into the detention camp at Sanchez for ten days. People desiring to enter Texas from Mexico will have to go through by way of Eagle Pass If they want to avoid the detention of ten days.
 No additional information has been re- ceived from Manera, a coal mining town twenty eight miles up the river.
 Word from Monterey states there is not a single case of fever in that city
 Official reports from Linares were to the effect that only sixty cases remain there and for four days past not new case has been reported.
 Across the river in Nuevo Laredo the situation Is less favorable tonight. Six deaths have occurred in the last twenty four hours. It Is impossible to learn how many cases exist, although the num- Der Is certainly considerable.
 Advices from Tampico report eight
 cases still in the lazaretto there and two new cases. Dr
