Milwaukeeans in Birmingham.

The city officials of Milwaukee, Wis, with their ladies, arrived in Birmingham this morning on a special train over the Louisville and Nashville Railroad from New Orleans, en route home, and spent the day here. In the party were 107 peo- pie, of which thirty-eight were ladies. Cornelius Corcoran. President of the Con- mon Council of Milwaukee, with several members of the Aldermen, city officers and others. Passenger Agent Martin Cra- mer of the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad accompanied the party and the trip included a stay of three days in New Orleans during the Mardi Pensacola.
 The party expects to be at home by Sunday morning. Out of the 107 members of the party, 100 of them never were in the South before and the statements made as to what they had seen and the treat ment they had received from the rail- road officials, hotel people and citizens In general of the fair South are volumi- nous. President Corcoran of the Milwau- kee Council, stated that the city officials of his city take a trip annually but this was the first time that they had come South. The trip has been a revelation to them, he says, and to leave a country IA degrees below zero and within forty eight hours see violets growing in the yards is something wonderful. He stated that the people of the North do not know what is in the South and everybody should take a trip to this wonderful sec ton. The party Is travelling in the best of sleeping cars.

4 NEW DEPARTURE.
A New, Effectual and Convenient
 Cure for Catarrh.

Of Catarrh remedies, there Is no end. but of catarrh cures, there has always been a great scarcity. There are many remedies to relieve, but very few that really cure
 The old practice of snufing salt water through the nose would often relieve and the washes douches, powders and inhal- CTS in common use are very little if any better than the old fashioned salt water douche.
 The use of inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism and it can not be cured by local treatment any more than they can be.
 To- cure catarrh whether in the head. throat or stomach an internal antiseptic treatment Is necessary to drive the catar- rhal poison out of the blood and system, and the new cure is designed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because being used internally, il drives out catarrhal infec- ton through action upon stomach, liver and bowels.
 Wm. Zimmerman of St. Joseph, relates an experience with catarrh which Is of value to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says: T neglected a slight nasal catarrh until 1t gradually ex- tended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became effected, but as I was able to keep up and do a days work let 1t run along until my hearing began to fall me and then l realized that l must get rid of catarrh>or lose my position as l was clerk and my hearing was absolutely necessary.
 S@pe of my friends recommended an in- haler. another a catarRh salve but they were no good in my case. nor was any thing else until I heard of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets and bought package at my drug store. They bensfited me from the start and in less than four months l was completely cured of catarrh although I had suffer ed nearly all my life from it.
 They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to use than other catarrh remedies that feel can not say enough In favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets"

FORBES WHIPS ToKELL.
England Tries for Another Cham
 pionship and Loses,

SAAA @SSSSS'
 Detrot, Mich, Feb. 27.-England tried for another championship tonight and sustained another defeat. Her champion bantam weigh1, Andy Tokell. was beaten by Harry Forbes, the champion bantam weight of the world.
 Forbes was given uhe decision at the end of ten rounds. He won the fight from
 art to finish and had the better of ev-
 " round with the possible exception of he seventh, in which he held his own md proved himself the superior of the english champion in everything that goes
 a make a champion with the exception 10 'ourage, and in this he was equal to To- ;cl.
 The latter was something of a disap- pOintment. He showed himself strong, rugged youngster with world of power behind his blows and proved himself game to the core. He took heavy pun ishment and came back every time in ev- cry round willing and eager to fight gain In skill he was outclassed by Forbes, who hit him where and how he pleased and as many times as Tokeu would take without coming to a clinch or breaking ground. He pounded the Eng lshman eye shut and cut the left side of his face until it looked like the after math of a season with a sausage machine while Forbes had not mark He drove blows to the head with a straight left, turned him round with right hooks and back again with left swings. He fought always on the aggressive and from the second round to the end there was no doubt of the result. Tokell twice wrestled Forbes to the floor, the foul work being to all appearances intentional. For both performances he was hissed by the spec tators and warned by the referee. In ad- dition, when Forbes was on his back he pounded the Engltshman with a little additional vigor. Tokell was somewhat cast down by his deAeat, but took it philosophlcally.

coRrELYou's ESTIMATES.
Will Get What He Wants in the Dis
 tant Future.

New Orleans. Feb. 27.-A special to The Times-Democrat from Washington says: The opposition which has broken out an the House of Representatives to Sec retary Cortelyou's estimate for his new Department ofCommerce may be taken as Indicative of the desirability of building up such institutions gradually, rather than of any aversion of the part of Con- gress to large administrative plants in themselvea
 Mir. Cortelyou," said one of the Can non economists today, can ultimately have what he asks for. At the start his proposals come as a surprise. In the discussion of the proposed new depart ment which has been heard at intervals for the last four or five years, one argu- ment in behalf of the project has stood out strongly. Very little additional ex- pense it was said, would be entailed by the creation of such a department, be- cause it would be merely a new grouping of already existing bureaus, which would cost no more than now. It was even stated on the floor of the House in recent debate that the new salaries entailed would not exced $0.OOO year. This view of the project sounded plausible, and, with any other employer but Uncle Sam would doubtless have proved valid.
 But Secretary Cortekyou's recommenda-
 
 Secretary of the Treasury, show that the enterprise is by no means an inexpensive one, and although these recommendations will doubtless be materially trimmed for the present, there need be no doubt that , it will be only few years before they are fully carried out They are, there fore. worthy of analysis now.
 The Secretary's office will start of, according to present plans. with an as- sistant; S5,Oo0 a private secretary to the secretary at $2000. confidential clerk to the Secretary at $2,2oO. two stenogra- phers at s1.600 each. a private secretary to Assistant Secretary at $21o0, a stenographer to the Assistant Secretary at $l,6OO, one $1 400 clerk and two $1, 200 clerks one $1,0O0 clerk, one chief mes- senger at s1,O0O, four messengers at $S40 each and five assistant messengers at $72O each, with one laborer at $66o. This Is an annual payroll of nearly $40,0O0 in the Secretarys office proper, but it is only a small part of the story. and necessarily only the beginning.
 Secretary Cortelyou estimates for run ming expenses $1.075,00o a year, of which salaries will take $6O,OOO. rent $75 OOO, con tingent expenses $15OOOO. travelling ex- penses of examiners $150,000 and printing

BUFFALO MAN MURDERED.
Edwin L. Burdick's Body Found in
 His Home.

Buffalo. N. Y., Feb. Baldwin L.s Bur dick, President of E. l.. Burdick & Co. and of the Buffalo Envelope Company, was murdered early today at his home in Ashland Avenue. The theory at first ad- vocated was that the crime was the work of burglar was abandoned tonight after the police had probed deeper into the case. No arrests has been made.
 Burdick bade the other members of the household good night last night and started for his room to go to bed This morning, his body clad in an undershirt. was found lying on a couch in a small room off the lower hall used by Burdick as smoking room. The body was cover ed with rug and a number of sofa pill lows. The couch was saturated with blood and the walls and floor were be- spattered with blood. The head had been crushed
 A thorough examination of the house ana It's occupants was made. Nothing of value was missing. The outside doon was locked and the spring lock vas in it's placa when the servants got up this morning. The inner door was ajar. A kitchen win dow was partically raised, but there were no marks on the snow outside or on the window sill to indicate that any one had entered there. All the other windows
 
 No weapon could be found in the house. At the foot of the couch were found Bur dicks drawers and sox. The trousers and other articles of clothing which Bur dick had wron were in his bedroom on the floor above. The bed had not been occupied.
 On the table in the smoking room the detectives found a bottle partly filled with whskey and the remains of light luncheon. Members of the family de- clare that Burdick never partook of the food of which the luncheon was com posed and never drank liquor while eat ing. The force of the blow that killed Burdick preclude the police say, the pos sibility that a woman delivered 1t. Mrs. Burdck left home two months ago with the intention, it Is said, of not returning, December prooe eedings for divorce were filed In the county clerks office by Bur dick

States, is to begin at once an active cru sade against all rats, so that If the dis ease does. reach the country the means for its propagation may not exist and the same fate will attend 1t as will the con tagion of yellow fever after the exter imitation of the yellow fever mosquito.
 Thus science has shown the world that two of the greatest scourges of the past, the great plague and yellow fever, are controlled by means of the greatest sim plicity. Indeed the measures are so sim pie that the layman is apt to think that they are not scientific. as he so often un- fortunately does, the idea of a great scientific discovery with something occult. mysterious and beyond the ken of or dinary individual. Most of the epoch making. revolutionary. scientific discover ies are of a Simple nature. The facts on which they depend and which have led up to them may have required centuries of time and thousands of minds for their elucidation, but the synthesis itself final ly made by the one great mind Is always a simple one. No better instance of this can be afforded than the scientific truths with which the names of Calico, Newton and Darwin have always been associated, and our descendants will have a galaXj of names with which to associate the LedulIS ulSCOV6IlSS OI IHOu6En sanitary science. Though in the field of letters we have no modern Shakespeare. yet the army of talented work is advancing the world more rapidly than ever before for all that: so in the wide field of science though there Is now no Darwin or Pas teur. yet the labors of those geniuses have made possible the labors of thousands of scientific investigators who are ad- vancing the welfare of man at a speed which cannot be understood save by those who keep themselves informed of a prog ress which is nothing less than colossal.
 Popular knowledge in consequence is falling so far behind the march of scien- tifc progress that only last week Prof. McGee, at Washington, deplored the lack of a class which he termed scientific mid dlemen to act as go-betweens between the general public and the Investigating scientists. It is in such papers as these that an endeavor Is being made to supply that want. but the professors remarks apply not only to the field of hygiene and sanitary science. but to his own study ethnology-and to the whole field of knowledge.

DENIES THE PARENrAeE.
Morgan Not Father of the Pending
 Treaty.

Washington, Feb. N.-(special )-sena- tor Morgan created a scene in the Senate executive session this afternoon. Contin- uing his speeche on the Panama canal treaty. he said, with measured delibera- tion and emphasis:
 T have been called the father of isth- milan canal legislation I hope I shall never be called the father of this dirty bastard. trust. that the newspaper men who are so successful in getting the pro- ceedirgs of executive sessions will get these utterances of mine"
 A determined effort on the part of Sena- tor Cullom to obtain Senator Morgan's s consent to fix a time for voting on the Panama canal treaty, was made while the Senate was in executive session today and was met by just as determined oppo- sition on the part of the Alabama Sena- tor.
 T think" said Mir. Cullom, "the Sena- tor is making a great mistake. The whole country recognizes his great services of the past twenty years in the interest of a canal connecting the two oceans. Indeed. he may be called the father of the isth- milan canal. but 1t certainly would seem that by his present opposition to the Pan- anna treaty he is strangling his own off, spring."
 To this Senator Morgan replied with spirit. He said that his interest in a ca- nal was now as great as ever. but that he felt he owned it to himself and to the country to exert himself to the utmost to prevent the ratification, of a treaty which he felt to be so full of defects as the pending agreement. He then complained of the refusal of the Senate to allow him to discuss the treaty in open session. Most Senators will believe that the refusal to fix a time for a vote means that the treaty cannot be ratified before the eolse os the present session.
