BOYS CLUB DOING
BENEFICENT WORK
MEMBERSHIP is INCREASING
STEADILY-THE GOOD lNFLU-
ENCE OF THE CLUB is MANI
FEsT-LADlEs DESIRE FUNDS.

The Boys Reading club of Birmingham
formed for the betterment of the news
boys and the boys around the streets,
taken on new life.
Within the past few days the club has
equipped a large number of boys with
books and enough clothing to enable them
to attend the public schools, and now
nearly every member of the club is a
regular attendant at school.
Until the club exerted it's influences a
large majority of the boys never attended
school because ley were unable to find
suitable clothing or the necessary books.
The youngsters thought 1t was much
pleasanter to play hockey" than to go
to school. Now, nearly all of them have
a different feeling, and the boys standing
highest at school are the recipients of
much praise at the club room.
The ladies' interested In the club have
requested that all people in the city
have no use, send them to the club, where
excellent use can be made of them. In
a few days arrangements will be made
to get number of the boys into the night
school at the Y. M. c. A. Some of them
will have to be equipped and the ladies
will need funds.
It Is the desire OF the ladies' to erect
small gymnasium for the boys at the
club rooms, and also to fit up a shower
bath. For this purpose they will need
money They will send representatives
to the people of the city asking for lib
eral contributions.
The club has about $50 members now,
and each day there are two classes in the
club rooms where the boys are taught
elementary lessons, preparatory to get
ting them into the schools
The Improvement shown in the boys
has been remarkable. and many little
fellow who formerly spent his days and
early portions of his nights running about
the streets and getting into trouble, have
reformed and are now model boys.

large enough
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Pierce stated
that he could not yet say what he Thought

HIS FRIENDS FIGURE ON MAJOR
ITY OF 10 VOTES FOR HIM IN
THE CONTEST FOR THE LEU
TENAT coLoNELcY.

The election of Captain Hughes B.
Kennedy for lieutenant colonel of the
Third regiment. A. N. G., seems certain
now, according to friends of his in tina
regiment. In the past day or two sew
eral out of town officers have been in Bir-
mingham, and they have all expressed
themselves as being In favor of Captain
Kennedy.
A captain of company out of Bir-
mingham said yesterday that he thought
Captain Kennedy would win by a. least
ten majority out of the thirty-six Off
GERS of the regiment 1t requires nine
teen to elect and he stated that he could
not figure out more than seven or eight
officers who would support Major Jo-
sesph L. Daniels, the other candidate.
The election will be week from Tues
day night, and 1t is believed that thirty
six votes will be cast, as there are that
number of line officers in the regiment
and they are the only people who vote
in this election. So far 1t Is definitely
known that Admission. oxford and Bir-
mingham will cast sixteen votes for Cap
tain Kennedy, and every officer In at
least two other companies has pledged

man for the place.

SHOCKED BY LIVE WIRE.
G. A. Morris, Carpenter, Narrowly
Escapes Death.

G.. A. Morris. carpenter, was knocked
down and narrowly escaped death yester-
day afternoon at the power house of the
Birmingham Railway, Light and Power
company by coming In contact with two
wires charged with 300 volts.
Morris was at work laying the flooring
in the new section of the power house
ait Powell avenue and Eighteenth street,
and was using crow bar to prize up
some planks in the floor. When the
planks gave way from the force he put
in the bar, the bar dropped down and
struck these two wires. The force of
the current wrenched the bar from Nor
ris' hands, and this alone saved his life.
He was rendered unconscious for some
time, and did not regain consciousness
until he reached his home In Avondale
where he was carried In Shaw and Son $
ambulance. DR.. Mason attended him.

The trouble was, however, settled, and
they went peacefully home together, at
least Gossett and Wellers did. When at
home Gossett became affectionate to-
wards Wellers and during the period of
caressing him stole SIC from his pocket.
1t was some time before Wellers discov-
cred that he was robbed. and as soon as
he could ind a policeman he had Cos
sett arrested. Gossett pleaded not gull

the police and delivered to Wellers
Gossett was up before Judge Feagin
once before and promised to leave the
city. Judge Feagin fixed the bond at
only $3.50 on account of the mans blind
ness, and at the same time he delivered
a lecture to the three blind men that they
will not soon forget. He condemned
them severely for allowing a little boy to
lead them into the bar ROOM and told
them that when the Bible said and a lit
tie child shall lead them" 1t did not
mean that 1t should be into an evil place.
They all promised reformation and never
to do so again,

Mr.. TOMLlNSON TELLS OF
WOODEN PAVING In EUROPE

and all streets in the neighborhood Of
narliament, are paved with wooden
blocks. In the minor cities Of Europe the
wooden block pavement is taking the
Mace of all other pavement. In New
York the wooden book Is also being used.
II am thoroughly convinced that we
win make a great mistake on Highland
avenue to put down anything but a
wooden street It should be on perfect
concrete foundation and the blocks should
be Of perfect material; otherwise It
would be money wasted. 1 think it will
be a mistake, in order to save little
in price, not to have the work done in
the very best manner. At one time I was
prejudiced against wooden pavements,
and did not believe that 1t would do, but
I find that I was mistaken. If the right
kind Of wood is secured and put down on
a good foundation, it makes by far the
best street of ALL

NEED FOR OFFICE BUILDING.

We venture there is no gainsaying
the fact that there is great need for
real. first-class, up-to-date. mod
ern Office building in this city.
We would suggest that parties
having the best interests of our
city at heart devise a plan by which
six or seven-story building of the
character spoken of be located on
the corner of Main and st. Clair
streets, on the southwest side.
1t is hardly necessary for one to
make more than a cursory examina-
ton to discover that there is hardly
a real up-to-date Office in the city.
Such a building would be a divi-
dend winner from the very outset.
We have no doubt that every
room would be spoken for in adj
vance. All that is necessary to
prove this is for the projectors of
such an enterprise to do a little
canvassing beforehand to demon
strate its desirability.
