PIPE FOR BANANA.
Big Shipment for Zone Leave Annis-
 ton.

Anniston, Dec. Especial. J. Thirty cars of pipe were yesterday sent from the Southern Railroad de- pot. It was a shipment of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry Company, and the goods go from here to Mobile and from there by boat to Panama. This is a part of the order given, by the government for material to be used in the construction of the Isthmian canal
 A good number of cars have been shipped already, and others will be sent out as soon as the pipes can be manufactured. For the order there was much competitive bidding. and the fact of its being filled at this plant Is only another evidence that Annis4 ton and the South can successfully meet the keenest competition.

Disposition of Vulcan.

''Vulcan," Birmingham's iron man. which did such noble service at the big St. Louis fair, is to attend another great exposition. He will be placed in a prominent position on the grounds at the Lewis and Clark Exposition to be held at Portland, Oregon. next year. He" will not go into a building, as was the case at St. Louis. but will have better opportunity at Portland.
 The committee appointed at the last meeting of the Birmingham Conner cial Club to consider the matter of Vulcan" In the way of trip to Port land. held a meeting this morning in the office of the chairman, Major F. Y. Anderson, and resolutions were adopt ed recommending the trip for "Vul- can" to Portland, and that President F. M. Jackson, of the Commercial Club, should at once communicate with MT. J. A. Mcknight in St. Louis and in form him that the big statue Is not for sale.
 Present at the meeting this morning were: Major Anderson, MT. B. Steiner, Mir. Culpepper Exum and MT. Henry Hiden. The matter was fully discuss ed. IS well as the debt still hanging against Vulcan" The debt will be liquidated and arrangements made at once for the removal of the big iron man from St. Louis to the Northwest.
 There has been considerable discus sion lately in regard to a possible sale of "Vulcan" and information from ST. Louis recently received was that the statue had been offered to that city. The recommendation of tho committee headed by Major Anderson. that MT. Mcknight be notified that the statue is not for sale will probably be carried out at once It Is understood that q few days since a letter was sent to Mir. Mcknight stating that offers to pur- chase Vulcan should be submitted to the club before any action was taken.

pr, Loyett Talks.

Dr. J. A. B. Lovett, president of the Central Agricultural College of Ala bama. located at Blountsville, Blount County, was in Birmingham today on his way to Shreveport to attend the National Cotton Convention which will consider tine question of stamping out the boil weevil. Dr. Lovett is one of the delegates appointed by the governor from this State. He has giv- en the subject above mentioned much study from a scientific standpoint and is greatly interested in the work which the convention will consider.
 In speaking of his trip. pr. Lovett said: The convention has in special view the elimination or destruction of the cotton boil weevil. which has de- vastated the cotton of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana and Is now spreading at the rate of fifty miles per annum. The Government has had in hand for the past few months this matter and has made some progress. My view on this subject is that I think that a great disease demands a great remedy and that remedy must be the destructon of the weevil by means of starvation and the starvation can be accomplished by a cessation of cotton planting in the in- fected territory for the next three to five years. During this time planters can greatly improve their lands in the production of other agricultural sub jects and at the same time kill out the weevil for all time to come While it may be hardship to the affected dis tricts to use this severe remedy, 1t Is

 Prof. Verner's PiSmies.
 Prof. Werner, formerly Presbyterian missionary to Africa, who has been at the St. Louis exposition during the last six months with nine pigmies from Af- rica, was in Birmingham today with one of his pigmies, a small black fel- low. en route to Washington, where assistance is to be asked of the Bel gium representatives. at the capital. The little African, stated Prof. Werner. is a representative of the lowest type of humanity. He is a cannibal, though for some time now he has given up the eating of human flesh. The African wears ordinary clothing but refuses to don collars. He is four feet, nine inches in heighth and has long, sharp teeth. He Is the head of large family and is an orphan. Prof Werner left his oth- CT eight pigmies in New Orleans and will return to that point in the next few weeks and start back for Africa to return the natives to their loved ones. The pigmies will carry many souvenirs to Africa and will probably be heroes in the sight of their tribesmen.

DANGERS OF ALCOHOL.
what . Freach Physiclaa Has TO
eat About This Poison
Gus Drink.

At the meeting Of the Paris Hospitals
Medical society, says the London Lam
Get, NJ. Legendre, alarmed by the ever
increasing amount Of drunkenness,
asked if it would not be possible to
Withstand this by means of meetings,
insistence on the dangers Of alcohol,
and by what he considered an even bet
ter method. that Of getting up for the
instruction Of patients lantern shows
with exhibitions Of anatomic prepara-
tions to show the dangers of alcohol.
NJ. Legendre has had printed for the
use Of all his patients little leaflet, the
text of which runs as follows:
''Most of the diseases treated in the
hospitals arise from alcoholic drinks
that is to say, they are either caused
or aggravated by the abuse of alcohol.
All alcoholic drinks are dangerous, and
the most harmful are those which con-
tain aromatics in addition to alcohol
as, for instance, absinthe and the So
called aperients, called ainers.
"Alcoholic drinks are more danger
Gus when taken on an empty stomach
or between meals. A man necessarily
becomes an alcoholic. e., slowly
poisoned by alcohoi-even if he never
gets drunk, when every day he drinks
alcohol in the form of liquor or too
much wine, more than one liter
per diem.
alcohol is poison, the habitual use
OF which destroys more OF less quick
". but none the less certainly, all the
organs most necessary to ife-the
stomach, the liver, the kidneys, the
blood vessels, the heart and the brain.
Alcohol excites man, but does not
strengthen him. It is no substitute for
food. but takes away the taste for it.
Those who often drink alcohol or too
much wine tmore than one litre a day.
are much more liable to illness, and
when i'll are much worse, for the dis
ease is often complicated with fatal de-
lrium.
alcohol is frequent cause of con-
sumption by its power of weakening
the lungs. Every year we see patients
who attend the hospitals for alcohol
ism come back some months later suf-
fering from consumption. Fathers and
mothers who drink often have children
who are deformed or idiots or who die
from fits"
