HIGH DIVER HAS
 NARROW ESCAPE
FENCE coLLAPsEs AND SHAKES GUY ROPES JUST AS BIoNEY WAS POSING FOR LEAP-HE RE- COVERS HIMSELF.

Charles Bigney. the man who makes the high dive at the Orphans Homo carnival under the name of Marvello, had a narrow escape from death last night as he was preparing to make his plunge Into the tank, 93 feet below. Just as the diver was poising himself for the leap a section of fence by the side of the tank gave way beneath the weight of A number of negroes who were seated The guy ropes of the divers ladder were shaken, and had the accident happened a second later Marvello might have been thrown out of his course by the swaying of his platform and would have missed the tank. As it was he recovered himself just in time and crouched down until the hubbub subsided. When all was quiet again he made his dive successfully.
 Yesterday afternoon and last night there was the usual large attendance at the carnival. The Age-Herald news boys escorted by the Mundy brass band were taken through the shows yesterday afternoon. All had a big time and the boys kept things lively while they were seeing the sights.
 All the shows along the esplanade were liberally patronized. The animal show and the hippodrome were crowded at every performance. Diavolo got through the loop safely last night, although since his accident people have become fully convinced of the dangerous ride which he makes. The Zouaves are proving great attraction. These men execute drill that shows long and careful training Their movements are made as one man in spite of the fact that the maneuvers which they execute are more difficult than the drill prescribed in the manual of the United States army. Their pie turesque exit over the wall. as the can non roar and the band plays 'The Stai Spangled Banner" is very effective In deed.
 k The mystic maze Is also increasing 1T popularity every day. Large crowds got lost last night and appeared to enjoy the experience hugely.
 Tonight will close the carnival. It 4 perhaps the most successful affair of the kind that has ever been given in Bir- mingham. At noon n i've dollar golc piece will be given to some man who will mingle with the carnival crowds and the first child who asks him for the money will be awarded the prize and his name will be announced in front of tho animal show. This afternoon will also | be children's day. All children under l. | years of age will be admitted free, al. l though they will be charged cents fol l admission to the animal show and tn; hippodrome. All the other shows will tt | free

MORPHINE
 OPIUM AND
 OTHER DRUG HABITS CURED FREE l!
MANY CASES ARE CURED BY THE FREE TREATMENT.

THE FREE TREATMENT.
 We will gladly send large test bottle of this wonderful cure free, and patients will derive a great benefit, even though they do not continue the treatment
 A noted physician writes to a brother doctor; Ut beats anything l have ever seen in the way of Therapy and Field of Antidotes. I cured my brother easily after exhausting all my skill, and that of my colleagues in Europe. Too bad it is not known to the medical world In gen. eral." Dr. Charles Thompson.
 Another physician, well known throughout the east, few days ago wrote as follows:
 'I have given the Opium Habit years of study in China, India and this coun- try, and I will admit that I am a child and novice In the presence of this AMAZ- ING medicine. Surely there must be an astounding merit In a medicine compara- lively unknown within a few years, that could produce such good results"
 Six thousand physicians use this med- cine In their private practice. More cures made in the past two years than all others in the world combined.
 Fifty thousand people attest its won- derful power. No suffering, no detention from work or duties, far better support than your old drug will give. taste of real life and happiness, and knowledge that you will be free once more. All these you will experience from the free test. Closest feeling of sympathy and confidence exists between our Medical Director and patients. All letters re- turned if desired. St James Society.

PROMOTERS WILL
 HOLD A MEETING
PEOPLE OF BEssEMER GREATLY INTERESTED IN THE PROPOSED ELECTRIC LINE TO THE BLUE CREEK DISTRICT.

Bessemer, May 6.-(Special. )-Tomor- row afternoon at o'clock at the office of S. E. Jones, the promoters of the elec- tric car line from Bessemer to the Blue creek district will meet for the purpase of hearing the final report of the en- gineers who made the preliminary sur vey. At that time it is thought that the engineers will have all their maps com pleted and all who wish to do so can examine the plots.
 The people of Bessemer. as well as those living along the proposed line. are very much interested in the movement and 1t Is thought that large crowd will attend the meeting.

 After the engineers have made their complete report the books will be open ed and those wishing tostake stock in the company will be permitted to do so.
