 The objection has been raised by some persons that the zoo may be located too Lear their residences and prove a nuis- ance. To this we answer that the loca- ton will be left to the city authorities, and the grounds will be subject to the sanitary laws Of the city and the inspec- tion of it's sanitary officers In addition to this the association will have com mittee whose duty 1t will be to visit the grounds daily and look after these mat ters.
 We confidently believe and hope that you will give this matter the considera- tion 1t deserves and will act favorably on it.
 As there are others to speak I will con- sume no more of your time. 1 thank you for your attention.

 Mir. Mayor and Board or Aldermen: come before you here tonight to present the cause of the boys and girls zoologic- al garden of this city. As every one knows, this city Is in great need of parks, especially a geological garden; and we are determined to have one at any cost l dare say there Is not one in this audi ence who would not agree with me that Birmingham is or will be the greatest city in the south. Why, then, should not the greatest city in the south have a geological garden? There is Chattanooga It Is not quite as large as Birmingham and vet 1t has a geological garden. As you al know, the South Highlands has not a park in use. Gentlemen, l say that if the garden Is kept up with all sanitary conditions. there will be practically no odor. There will be a cement floor, thor oughly drained and cleaned: there will be a manager to look after and attend to It. so that we will be assured that 1t will always be in sanitary condition. Even Atlanta, suburb of Birmingham, has 2 zoo. Doubtless there will be many vis- itors to the city, who have never seen q geological garden, and will be attracted by this collection of wild animals, and, quite naturally, the city will enjoy the advantages of this advertisement.
 We think that the children In this movement are entitled to the support and financial aid of the city government. There are two things which are especial " important at this points First, we should have one of the parks on the South Highlands as a home for the ani- mals; and second, animals cannot live on air alone. Like man, they must have their daily bread, and what IS more, their daily meat and we all know that meat comes high. If the boys and girls of this city raise the money to purchase the anil mals, is it not fair that the city should help to feed them, after they are bought? The boys and girls, therefore, ask from this honorable board, not only an express sion of it's hearty sympathy, but what Is more substantial. a continuing monthly appropriation, as large as It's finances will permit

Hal Strickland spoke follows: Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
 We boys have come before your hon7 orable body to ask your cooperation and assistance in completing our plans for a Birmingham "zoo."
 Our president and other boys have al- ready explained fully what we want.
 Our good citizens as a whole seem to take to the idea in kindly spirits and believe they will help us out in a sub stantial way.
 We have a progressive city here. and we want to keep abreast with other cities of like size, and If anything, out class them.
 We boys all know that If our honor- able mayor and the board of aldermen take hold of this matter earnestly that the children of Birmingham will have a "zoo' that will do credit to any modern city.

Joe Saks.

Joe Saks spoke as follows:
 MT Chairman and Gentlemen of the Board-Through the newspapers yo1r attention has no doubt been called Co the movement recently begun by the o1ys of Birmingham to establish zoo in the city of Birmingham. The idea has fonnd hearty sympathy with all the citizens of Birmingham, and as evidence of the in- terest manifested in the movement the Birmingham Realty company has offered to build the houses and cages for the animals, the Water Works company has offered free all water necessary. The boys of Birmingham will undertake to buy or have donated the animals. The question now remaining to be settled ,s a place for the garden and the malnte ance of the zoo after 1t has been estah- lished It is hoped that the city will al- low the park near LakeView to be used for this purpose. It is desired by the boys of Birmingham that the city be re- quested to maintain the garden. that is to pay q keeper and to do such other things as will keep the zoo In proper con- dition. This can be done at quite a noml- nal expense and all the citizens of Bir- mngham are in favor of the city making this expenditure. The establishment of zoo will result in untold good to the children of Birmingham, as the presence of an attraction of this kind will draw more children into the fresh, open air than possibly any other place or resort It Is educative, as all must admit. And furthermore, nearly all cities in this coun- try having a population as large as Br- mingham have gradens of this kind; and in behalf of the many thousand children of this great and prosperous city, l hope that the city authorities will grant this request, assuring you that no expenditure of like amount could be made fin any direction whatsoever that will be fraught with so much good as the one for which l we now ask.

A PERIL OF HER SEX
HOW A KENTUCKY WOMAN MET A
CRISIS IN HER LIFE.
Adopts a ResOlute Course and Escapes
From Troubles Which Had Made Her
Wretched for Two Years.

Adopts ResOlute Course and Escapes
From Troubles Which Had Made Her
Wretched for Two Years.
The experience of Mrs. D. @. We'd
ding, of Hartford, Kentucky, is of value
to every woman, as it will point out a
certain means of escape from distress
ing situation to which time must inev-
itably bring her. The most critical
period in the life of woman is that at
tending the change or turn of life. The
symptoms attending this period are
fainting spells or attacks of faintness or
dizziness, headache, general debility, ex-
haustion, a feeling of melancholy, hys-
terra, pain in the loins or limbs, etc.
The change is gradual one-for better
or worse for the former if the patient
is wise enough to fOrtify the system
against the ravages of the symptoms at
tending the change.
Concerning the difficulties which she
encountered at the change of life, Mrs.
Wedding says: Gin the spring of 1898,
when reached the turn of life, 1 was
seriously i'll and was confined to my bed
for six or eight months in all during the
two years following. I had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming in my head and nervous
troubles. Twas under the treatment of
several prominent physicians but they
all failed to do me any good.
After suffering for two years
learned from an Arkansas friend about
the merits of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and I decided that !
would try them. The very first box !
took made me feel better and when had
taken four boxes more was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best of
health. have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on the
basis of what they did for me, and feel
that 1 cannot praise them too strongly"
This wonderful blood tonic is a per-
feet regulator of woman's system. 1t
banishes nervousness, headaches, dizzi-
ness, depression of spirits, and carries
safely through all the physical crises
peculiar to the female sex. 1t is sold by
all druggists throughout the world.

SUIT FOR CONVERSION.
An Action Is Started Against Lake
CRYSTAL PARTIES

In the controversy between the Grand
Detour Plow company of Dixon, ILL.,, and
the American Harrow company of Min
neapolis, on the one hand, and II. c.
Pritchard and E. c. Sprague, both of
Lake Crystal, on the other hand, new
suit has developed. Some time ago
Pritchard was declared insolvent and
JAY Henry Long was appointed receiver
of the property of Pritchard, for the
purpose of satisfying the judgments that
the two companies held against Prit-
chard amounting to about $500 alto
gether. Before the judgments were en-
tered, Pritchard traded off his stock of
implements and place of business to
Sprague, receiving in return a deed to
tract of land in North Dakota. Later
Pritchard gave the deed back to Spraguc
Sprague holding both the land and the
stock of goods on the ground that he
had signed numerous papers as surety
for Pritchard. Sprague's deed of the
North Dakota land to Pritchard was
never recorded The two companies
brought suit in Ransome county, North
Dakota, to obtain possession of this
land as part of the assets of Pritchard
The question of the title to that land
is still pending.
MIR. Long, as attorney for the Grand
Detour PIow company, went to Lake
Crystal today to serve papers in the
commencement of a new action against
the same defendants. This suit is
brought for conversion of the stock OF
goods, on the ground that the original
sale of Pritchard to Sprague was frau
dulent. The plaintiffs cite the law OF
1899, providing that, when stock OF
goods is sold in bulk, or in any other
way except in the course of trade, the
sale is presumed to be fraudulent as to
creditors, unless the vendee, five days
before the closing of the sale, makes
special inquiry as to the existence OF
creditors. and notifies all of the credit
ors that he can get knowledge of, that
the sale is about to be made. In this
case, the plaintiffs allege, that require
ment of the law was not lived up to-

The late mayor of Toledo, Ohio,
Golden Rule" Jones, was true to
his name to the last. His exc
cutors have discovered that he
gave away 100000 annually to
save defaulters from arrest and
disgrace. No less than 200 of his
fellow citizens who plead for aid
received it. We are told that of
this number bank tellers, book
keepers and confidential men Of
large corporations, who had taken
money from their employers to
speculate or pay the expenses of
high living, are included in this
list. Not one, as far as lie known,
returned to evil ways, and, as us
ually happens, not one returned
the money to this benefactor.
But, fortunately, he did not ex-
pect it.
