COMMITTEE WILL
 RAISE THE MONEY
COMMANDER ABERNATHY OF CAMP HARDEE IS SELECTING THE MEN WHO WILL WORK FOR THE MONUMENT FUND.

Dr. J. c. Abernathy, commander of Camp Hardee, U. C. V, stated yesterday afternoon that he had not yet selected all the members of the committee which will have charge of the matter of erecting a monument to Confederate soldiers and sailors in Capitol park.
 The committee will probably consist of twelve members. Commander Abernathy says he wants a committee that will work and he intends to name men who will promise him to do their best.
 It is probable that the committee will be announced next week, and that they will take up the monument matter at once. Money will have to be raised. and the committee will have charge of this work The resolution adopted by the camp instructed the committee to CO., operate with similar committees from the Sons and Daughters, and this will be done.
 Camp Hardee has already donated $500 to the monument fund.

ANNUAL SHOOT TO
 BE AUG. g AND 10
MANY CRACK SHOTS WILL COME TO RMlIlGHAM FOR THE OC- ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS NOT YET READY.

The annual shoot of the Birmingham Gun club will be held August and 10. The arrangements are being made for the shoot and in a few days the programme will be complete.
 The shoot will be held on the grounds of the club in West End instead of at the old Country club grounds at North Birmingham, where they have always been held in the past. The club is well fitted up, and the members expect to have the best shoot in the history of the club.
 There will be a number of events on the regular programme, and probably sev- eral added events At the shoot last year and the year before there were about seventy-five guns on the grounds, and this year 1t is expected that there will be an even larger number.
 There seems to be more interest in tar- get shooting this year than in the past, as shown by the shoot at Memphis this week. At this shoot John Fletcher, of Birmingham carried away most of the honors, his best score being when he broke 9S out of a possible 100 targets in the cup race

No FURTHER STEPS TAKEN TO- WARD CELEBRATION FOR AU- GUST 2-PREsIDENT JAcksoN's RETURN AWAITED.

The matter of Alabama day at the St. Louis exposition and a suitable observa- tion of the same, seems to be lying dor mant at the present time, as no action has been taken since the letters sent out by President Jackson of the Com mercial club.
 MT. Jackson is in St. Louis and will probably be home tomorrow or Monday. As soon as he arrives the matter will again be agitated and a programme ar- ranged It Is expected that several of the state officials. including the gover- nor and his staff, will attend the exposl- tion on Alabama day, which is August 2.
 It is the desire of those interested in the movement to advertise Alabama by an exhibit at the exbosition to have two or three thousand people gather around the base of Vulcan and have a programme including talks from prominent men of the state. Special rates on the railroads will probably be granted, the n,atter hay Ing already been taken up with the South eastern Passenger association.

PIG IRON STOCKS
 BEING CURTA|LED Continued Reduction in Output
 in All Districts THE MARKET VERY QUIET Birmingham Manufacturers Holding Stocks at $s.5o on No. Basis,
 But Consumers Are
 Not Buying.

The local iron trade remains very quiet. There are inquiries but no large sales. Manufacturers are holding their stocks at consumes will be in the market at this quotation later in the summer.
 Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report of yesterdays date says:
 On completing the first six months of a presidential year the most interesting feature of the situation is the continued eurtailment of production which is evi- denced in all districts. At the present mo- ment this is most pronounced among the southern Ohio and valley furnaces, all though the practice Is now general.
 This is of particular note since the actual figures of production for the first six months are now available. These show that during that period the output was at the rate of 100000 tons per year. With the xception of the years 1902 and 1903 this is the greatest on record and would seem to have been aything but an unsatisfactory period. The ensuing six months, however. unless all signs fail, will hardly make good the promise of SucH all Output, dS tHtie are iudHy anu various reasons why the closing of furn- aces will continue.
 Business during the past week has held up we'll, several inquiries of importance resulting in satisfactory sales for deliver les covering varying periods to January l.
 The feeling evidenced in southern irons resulting in tendency to hold firmer is healthy result of the conditions there.
 Standard brands of coke are holding their own against lot of misfit lots which are being thrown on the market as the last output of plants about to be closed down. The inquiry Is only fair.

SITE FOR THE CAMP
 NOT YET DECIDED
GENERAL CLARK WILL DETER MINE AS BETWEEN OWENTON AND EAST LAKE FOR BRIGADE ENcAMPMENT.

There were no developments yesterday in the matter of the brigade encampment coming to Birmingham. The question to be decided now is whether to go to Owen ton or to East Lake, and this will be left entirely in the hands of Brlgadier General Louis V. Clark. who will be in command of the encampment. Whichever place General Clark prefers the local com- mittee will accept.
 General Clark has been out of the city several days, or the matter would prob ably have been decided by thls time He is expected home Monday or Tuesday, and the Commercial club committee will see him at once and ascertain his pleasure in the matter.
 Secretary Gibson has not received any replies to the circular letter sent to the passenger agents of the various railroads entering Birmingham asking for one fare round trip for the encampment. The let ters were forwarded at once to the higher officials of the roads, and the committee of the Southeastern Passenger associa- tion will take the matter up in a day or two and send reply to the various agents here.

DESTITUTE WOMAN
 HAD ROLL IF MONEY
Mary Norton Dug Up $160 in
 Cash from Beneath Rags
HAD SECURITIES FOR $2OO0
Although Living In Want, She Had Saved Thls Money and Only Showed It to Keep Out of
 the Aims House.

Although living in apparent poverty, crying day and night for food and cloth ing. sleeping in vacant house on pile of rags, Mary Norton. a white woman about 40 years old, yesterday dug up from her improvised cot about sl6O in cash, and she showed that she held 5000 in securi- ties.
 It seems that the 5000 secured is in the shape of loan through a lawyer. The facts came to light yesterday when Po- liceman Whaley, who is detailed as spe- cial charity officer, looked up the woman to have her removed to the Aims house
 Policeman Whaley first discovered the woman several days ago She was lying on pile of wet rags in a vacant house. 1712 Avenue H, under a leaking roof Night and day she lay there and moaned and cried, begging the neighbors for something to eat and something to wear. For days they kept her alive and then finally notified the police. When the Aims house was mentioned she rebelled and said she would never go there The policeman went to see if some of the Catholics of the city would take care of the woman, she claiming to be member of the Catholic church.
 Yesterday morning Policeman Whaley went back 10 the house for the purpose of moving the woman. When she was told she would have to go to the hospital or to the Aims house. she refused and commenced again to cry.
 When the matter was put to her in this light, she dug down in the wet rags, and one at time pulled forth silver dollars, dollar bills, and one or two bills of larger denomination. Her money ranged in de- nominations from $20 bill down to cop pers. She then disclosed to the police man the fact of the 5000 due her.
 It seems that the woman mas gone apout begging from everybody, selling junk and various things she picked up in the streets, and that all this time she has carefully hoarded her pennies and dollars The case has perplexed the police, and they told her she would have to better her condition, get room and live in respectable style or they would be forced to take some action.
 Policeman Whaley required Mary Nor ton to}deposit in the First National bank the cash she had on hand and he will act to certain extent as her guardian for while until she provides for herself The action was taken to prevent negroes attempting to rob the woman, knowing she was unprotected and had money about her

ADJUSTMENTS.
East Lake Casino.

A new series of moving pictures was shown at the East Lake Casino last night and they made quite a hit. A train rob bery is illustrated from the time when the station agent is bound and forced to give false orders to the conductor un- til the last robber Is dead and 1t Is thrill ing in the extreme. The new vaudeville bill is also proving popular. Rain has seriously interferred with the attendance this week, but in spite of indictment weather the audiences have been fairly good.
 Calman's orchestra is now giving three concerts daily. The musical programmes are pleasing East Lake patrons.
 For next wek the management will of fer two clever comedies, presented by the George Parsons company which is all ready favorably known in Birmingham.
