The Congress of the United
States has done little as yet, but
from the activity of the members
in introducing bills it would appear
the session would be busy one, If
thew are all to be acted upon. The
manner in which the House has
handled the Panama Canal aPpro-
priation bill indicates that that
branch proposes to get down to busi-
ness. The more stately Senate
seems to be moving so deliberately
that it has virtually done nothing as
vet and seems not to have much idea
of doing any thing for while at
least. However. if it kecDs up the
record. it will be busy undoing thing
the House will have done.

The holiday trade seems to be just
little dull 1T this rim5, ut there
is a good deal of time yet before
Christmas. Shoppers NAV get y
pointer from the suggestion that 1t
is important to do shopping early in
the season. The clerks have plenty
of time to wait on shoppers and the
latter have opportunity to look over
the goods and get exactly what suits
even the best. Later, when the
rush comes, these advantages are not
so Will offered, and delay sometimes
means that shoppers do not get
uited. 1t is really better for both
shopper and merchant that the
shopping be done early.

ANCIENT ORDER OF HlsERNIANs.
Divisions 2 and to Be Merged in New
 Division.

The county officers of the Ancient Or der of Hibernians held their regular quar- terly meeting yesterday afternoon at St. Paul's hall
 There are at present two divisions of the order in irmingham-Division No. and Division No. 3-but they are about to be merged in a new division which will be No 5. The Hibernians intend to equip hall, and the active members seem to be of the opinion that one strong division would be able to accomplish greater good than two divisons-one Of which has a small membership.
 The county officers adopted resolutions on the death of William Grady of Pratt City. They were in part:
 Whereas, his constant devotion to the principles of the order, his untiring ser vices in the sacred cause of church and country and his generous and noble spirit and warm-hearted good nature had en- deared him to each and every individual member of the order; be it. therefore,
 Resolved. That we hereby bear witness to the stirling worth of our lately de- ceased and deeply lamented brother. Will liam Grady. and express our appreciation ism by his words and acts; and be 1t fur ther
 Resolved, That the Ancient Order of Hibernians of Jefferson county extend to his wife, family and friends its pro found and sincere sympathy in their ir- reparable loss.

HEALTH OFFICER
 SUBMITS REPORT
SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE RELA- TIVE TO CLEANING UP CITY AND CONDITION OF STREETS AND OPEN CANALS.

Dr. R. B. Hardness, city health officer, submitted his monthly report for August to Mayor Ward Saturday. The report in full follows:.
 'aThe Honorable Board of Mayor and All
 dermen, Birmingham, Ala: "aentlemen-I have the honor to hand you my report for the month of August. Attention Is again called to the nlthy condition and unsightly appearance or our streets, caused by the promiscuous throw ing of debris of all kinds into the streets and gutters. As have stated before, tnis can never be remedied except through the active cooperation of the police force.
 oIn regard to the work that has been done in attempting to rid our city or the mosquito pest, l wish to again call the attention to the open canals that exist in the western portion or Blrmins- ham. trust that before another summer comes some movement will be placed un- der way to provide some further exit Tor our surface drainage. These open canals are a menace to the health Of the com munity, specially as they are contamin- ated with matter from the sanitary sew CTS. Below the city they furnish drinking water for dairy cattle that supply large proportion of our milk.
 .aThe following Is the report on health:
 .eryphoid fever-Total cases, 49; white ss. colored 13. Of this number 27 were on the Northside and 22 on the Southside.
 "Diptheria-Tota1 cases 3, all white.
 "Tuberculosis-Tota eases B. white, colored. "Nurnber of deaths during the month or August-Total, s6; white AZ, colored A. "Deaths of infants-Acute intestinal disorders, total, r. white 2, colored 5.
 "Deaths from Tuberculosis-Total, 10; white B. colored '.
 oDeaths from typhoid fever-Total, 8; white g. colored ,.
 "Births reported for the month of Au- gust-Total, 52; white 9O,, colored 22.
 "In regard to these figures I wish to say that they furnish a sad commentary on the respect with which our health laws are treated. There is always such dis- parity between the number of cases Of tuberculosis reported and the number of deaths from this disease that 1t is per fectly obvious that all of the cases un- der observation are not reported. The lists of births reported are frequently ridiculously small as 1t is in this month.
 Respectfully submitted,
 ''R B. HARKNESS."

"The Seminary Girl"

One of the most striking features in the personnel of "rhe Seminary Girl' com pany, the musical travesty which will be at the Jefferson theatre next Thursday matinee and night, is the chorus. Of course a musical attraction without this necessary adjunct would be much like Hamlet minus the Dane. But there are many kinds of choruses and the one selected by Manager Melville B. Ray mond Is of new variety. There are handsome young women, who not only possess beauty but have trained voices and are also familia- with the business of the state. They all aspire to better things and work with a sense of enjoy nlent which extends over the footlights to the audience. They appear as motor girls, caddies, basket ball players, sail or girls, American girls, and in other guises.
