HOSPITAL MEETING Is
POSTPONED ONE WEEK

The lady board of managers of the Hill

pone the mass meeting until next Sunday
afternoon at 8 o'clock in the First Meth
odist church. The meeting was scheduled
to be held this afternoon at o'clock.
Yesterday morning conference was
held between several prominent men in
the city who have frequently aided the
hospital in the past and it was decided
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1904-02-07

to defer the meeting.
The gentlemen thought that the call
had been too sudden and that much bet
ter results would be obtained by putting
the meeting off for a week. That would
give people an opportunity to consider
the best means of keeping the hospital
open until the city and county could make
some arrangement to make an adequate
appropriation for the institution.

Nothing definite has yet been done by
the railroads entering Birmingham with
reference to the establishment of down
town ticket office with view of reliev-
ing the congested condition of the Union
passenger station. 1t appears the rail-
roads have never been able to get to-
gether on the proposition.
1t has been rumored in local railroad
circles recently that at least one or two
of the railroads are figuring on estab-
fishing city ticket offices of their own.
However no move In this direction has
been made yet.

The wall Street Journal says:


THE Southern railway continues to earn
very heavily. recording for December an
increase in gross of II per cent and in
net of 10 per cent. For the six months
gross increased per cent and net 81
per cent.
The heavy earnings OF the roads In the
south during this high-priced cotton
period arise directly from the prosperity
of the planters. Inc cotton itself does
not pay any better freight; in fact the
tonnage and gross returns from tonnage
are lighter. The planter, however, sells
his bale Of cotton for the price Of two In
ordinary years, and grows rich In the
traffic. Hence there is more travel, a bet
ter movement of general merchandise,
machinery. manufactures and other high
grade tonnage throughout the south"

CHICAGO MPLS.
RATE WAR IS ON
MILWAUKEE ROAD ANNOUNCES
A DEEP CUT.
Says It Is All Due to Rates Announced
by Another Line-Cut Is Made for
Convention of Women's Catholic
Order of Forresters in st. Paul.

Chicago, May 5.-Demoralizatio
exists in the passenger rates between
Chicago, the twin cities and the
northwest. Notice was given by the
Milwaukee road yesterday that a rate
of 50 for the round trip would be
made for the convention of the Wom-
ems Catholic Order of Foresters this
week in st. Paul. It is expected that
the situation will be further compli-
Gated by another road in cutting the
So rate unless one Of the warning fac
tons of the Foresters secures an in
junction restraining the holding Of the
convention. The reason given by the
Milwaukee from the cheap rate is a
$40 rate offered by another road for
which no explanation was given.
The northwest situation was fur
Their complicated by a notice that the
Wisconsin Central would put in a bas-
ing rate Of $40 for the round trip from
Chicago to Yellowstone park and
about twenty-five other points in the
northwest. This caused a conference
to be held yesterday, in which j. c..
Pond, general passenger agent, ex-
| planned that another line had prac-
tically given this fare by announcing
rate of $36 from the twin cities
and s46 from Chicago to the Yellow
stone park and return. An effort to
induce the Wisconsin Central to take
out the rate failed.

AS TOUISHING CURE
OF MALIGNANT CANCER

That Specialist o'Keefe Of st. Paul has alb
6olute cure for external cancer, in any stage,
there Is no doubt whatever. The is radi-
cal IN every case that it makes no difference
what caused 1t, what the age of the afflicted
one may be, or how long the cancer has stood,
he guarantees an absolutely painless with
out the knife.
Here is the statement Of an old gentleman
whose word would be taken by all who know him
without him swearing to it.
II was resident of New Ulm, Mimi, for
nearly S5 years. up to a few years ago, when
I removed to BERTHA, MINI.
II suffered terribly for year and four months
with cancer in and around a large portion of
my, left eye The cancer grew fast and was
eating away portion of the left side of my
nose. The. cancer continued to spread and eat
deeper until 1t totally destroyed my eye and ate
into the bone of the forehead, also eating into
the bone of the nose, poisoning my blood so that
tumors broke out on the face, there being large
one on the left side of my cheek near the ear.
All treatment seemed to have effect in check
ing the inroads of the disease. I treated with
q number Of doctors. but found relief.
'At my familys wish I decided to visit Spe
eialist O'Keefe of st. Paul
"On Jan. II, 1904, accompanied by my two
Dons, went to ST. Paul and consulted Specialist

Certainly statement like this should convince

When others are travelling hundreds of miles
to see him. You can well afford to make the
effort for a cure.
Do not wait to write him. but prepare at once
to go to st. Paul and him.
He cannot treat you at a distance, and he
cannot go to see !ou

PRESS CLUBS BOOK
Will Be Ready for Distribution at To-
mOITOW'S Show

The book Of the Press Club of Min
neapolis will be off the press to-day.
Each holder of a ticket to the matinee
performance at the Metropolitan
theater tomorrow afternoon will be
entitled to a copy, which will make the
price of attendance very low. The
book was originally intended to con-
tain about ninety pages, but contri-
buttons were so numerous that it grew
to a volume of 166 pages and the cost
ran up until each copy will represent,
to the club, an outlay Of 48 cents.
The book is illustrated by the car
toonists and artists of Minneapolis
and contains portraits of the mem
bers of the club, public officers and
celebrated workers in literary and
newspaper fields who were formerly
residents of Minneapolis. The con-
tents have the virtue, of striking
originality, the writer's being absolute
ly unhampered in their choice of sub
ject and method of handling. AS a
result, there is a wide variety of topics
handled and they are handled in some
instances without gloves
There is strong Indication that
the standing room only" sign will be
hung out early in the afternoon to-
morrow at the benefit matinee at the
Metropolitan. It is rarely that. such
an array Of talent is offered at a
benefit performance. Every theatre
cal organization now playing in Min
neapolis has contributed from it's
galaxy of stars and the program will
be diversified sufficiently to amuse the
| most bored theater goer at the close
of busy season. 1t will be a high
class vaudeville show with turns by
artists who have never been In the
ranks of vaudeville and whom 1,
would cost thousands Of dollars to pre-.
sent if undertaken in regular way
by a theatrical promoter. The Jour.
nal Newsboys' band will fill all gaps
between the acts.

On the College Man.

A University of Michigan man who
was in Ithaca during navy week has
the distinction of having seen the Cor
neil campus under the most peculiar
circumstances on record.
The Ann Arbor man was a guest of
Cornell alumnus at one of the fra
ternity lodges located on the outskirts
Of the campus. The two had retired
at late hour Saturday night and lay
for long time swapping yarns of col
lege life. Sleep was impossible
About two o'clock Sunday morning
the Westerner remarked that he had
never seen the Cornell campus. Here
was a chance for the Cornell grad"
His former undergraduate spirit re-
turned. Come on he said; "l'lI
show you the campus in proper style
Don't wait to Dress We'll go as we
are"
The Cornell man wore a suit of pink
pajamas and the other white night
shirt. On their bare feet they crept
quietly out of the house, and by the
light of the bright moon the Michigan
man viewed the stately halls to great
advantage. 1t was a chilly night but
when they got cold they ran for spell
and warmed up.
They wound up on Eddy street, near
the entrance of the college grounds,
and with daredevil spirit waited some
time for trolley car. When none ap-
peared the Cornell man happened to
'emember that he was in Ithaca,
where cars do not run all night, Sc
| they returned as they had come.

that in the course of a conversation
which he had some years ago with
Gov. Holiday of Virginia, the gov
ernor, who had Travelled in Japan ex-
tensively a short time previous, made
the prediction that the Japanese would
one day lead the world in war, sci
ence and witchcraft. 1.-The governor -
says Mr.. Buck, was very enthusiastic
about the prospect for Japanese great
ness and prowess. He spoke of them
as a wonderful people, the most won
derful, in many ways that he had
ever seen. And mark my Words he
said to me, I may not live to see it,
but you will. The Japs will some day
startle the world by their ability in
every line of human activity The
people there win be great in all things
and if they ever get into a war with
any other nation they will surprise
the world. Should they go to war
mind my words-they will either con-
quer or be exterminated.' "-Balti
