If you are ambitious and willing to learn, this little talk will inter- est you. If you are one of those who do not care to learn or who already "know it all" you will only waste your time reading it.
 Never in the history of Birming- ham has there been such tre- mendous demand for business edu- cated young men and women as at the present time. Business men are constantly calling on me for book keepers, stenographers and office help, and I could place twice as many in positions had I sufficient number of graduates.
 While there is large demand for young people in business, yet this demand is most exacting as to requirements. A few years ago firms were willing to take boys and girls into their places of business and train them. This is too slow process, and business men do not have the time for this now. Every moment of their time counts. and they want 'help" that really "helps."
 In a few months I can train you to take a position and hold that position. You will be thoroughly grounded in all the principles of business. will teach you the short cuts in commercial calculations.

I will teach you to write plain, rapid business hand, such as busi7 ness firms now demand. I will teach you correspondence, spelling, punctuation and grammar. 1 will teach you shorthand and typewrit- ing. In addition to the foregoing. will teach you such other branches as you may need in order to thor oughly qualify you for business.
 1 have the largest faculty of any business college south of Philadel- phia, and my present enrolment exceeds two hundred pupils-by far the largest attendance of any business college in the southern states.
 The building I erected on Third avenue for my school is equipped with every modern device for the health. comfort and convenience of the pupils.
 I give the same excellent instruc- tion in my night school that is given at the day session, and by my plan of individual instruction, pupils may enroll at any time.
 I shall be glad to talk to you if you are ambitious.

duplicate translations, and thus stop
a leak:

Territory of Hawaii, the House of Rep
resentatives concurring:

ton of bills be appointed, said COM
mittee to consist of three co members
to be appointed by the President of
the Senate and the three go members

as to prevent a second translation of
any bill introduced in either body.
The resolution passed, and Lane.

behalf of the Senate

ish persons found impersonating Off

tary regulation of barber shops. Both

utes as they had come from the Code
Commission was taken up and passed
third reading. The clerk was instructed
to notify the House that the Senate
had passed the bill.

for parks. and Achrs bill to repeal the
Sunday law went to the judiciary COM
mittee. On second reading Dickey's
'anti-spittintg' bill went to the health

the incorporation of cities, went on the
table to await the appointment of a
joint special committee on county acts.
The salaries bill and the departmental

der on second reading, and after some
discussion We're referred to the several
standing committees, each committee
to have charge of the sections falling
within its sphere of duty.

committee, and the bill for the regis
tration of land titles to the judiciary
committee.

selden introduced a bill to stop the
Chinese practice of splitting upon clothes

viding for the sanitation of dairies.
Both passed first reading by title.
At this juncture Dickey arose to sx-
plain that the proposed county act spe-
cial committee had nothing to do with
his municipal bill, and moved a recon-
sideration of its committal to that COM
mittee. This carried and Dickey car
ried through a second motion to refer
his bill to a special committee. Dickey.

Honorable d. p. r. Isenberg, President
of the Senate
Sir: Your judiciary Committee, to
whom was referred the Senate bill No.
l6, respectfully report as follows:
Your committee are of the opinion
that the Revised Laws should be legal
lied as soon as possible in order that
all laws introduced at this session may
be referred TO it and in order that
members may have the whole law be-
fore them in a compact form for pur-
poses of reference.
As 1t is now, a dozen books or more
have to be examined in order to as
certain the law. BY passing the act
we will have it all in a single volume.
The passage of this act will give us
all the laws in a convenient form.
In the experience OF the past 1t is
known that numbers of district mag
istrates have tried cases under laws al
ready repealed, because they were in
ignorance of the fact, as they had so
many books to examine. BY passing
this law all such mistakes will be large
ly avoided.
The Revised Laws will be a great
convenience to the public, and especial
ly to the officers of the Government
1t is the first authorized revision of
our statutes made during the past for
ty years and fills long-felt want.
The Commission is entitled to great
praise for the manner in which the
work has been accomplished.
The cost of the books and the ex-
penses OF the Commission, including
their salaries, we believe will be fully
covered and more by the sale of the
books.
We recommend the passage of the
bill with the following amendment:
Add new section to be called Sec
ton 8, as follows:
Section 8. This Act shall become law
from and after its passage.
| Respectfully submitted,
| (Signed)

Senator pickey's bill defining the
qualifications of Jurors passed first
reading by title, and the same Senator
introduced a resolution to the effect
] that the Secretary be instructed to
provide each Senator with a copy of
the Revised Laws.
