 The suit is sf, outcome of the sensa- tion in Birmingham in connection with the Rabbit Foots saloon, an establish raent on Morris Avenue and Twenty fourth Street. in which MT. Phillips, up to last Saturday, had an interest. The Mayor charged that police oficers were intimidated around this saloon and that the saloon was 6 disorderly place. The City Council ordered an investigation into tho charges by the Judiciary and Miscellaneous Committee, looking to the revoking of the license of the Rabbit Foot" saloon. and this began tonight number of officers were summoned, in addition to men who were interested in the saloon.
 The Rabbit Foot" saloon matter has been attracting attention in the city | for some weeks now, the charges of the Mayor and the answers by MT. Phillips having taken up number of columns daily in the newspapers The Police Commission at its regular meeting last week decided that 1t had no authority to investigate charges against one of its members. but Invited any one to bring charges in the proper courts, looking to impeachment of the Police Commissioner.
 Large crowds have attended every sAaaiou of thA Cotsuri1 and polfce Couo . mission at which the Rabbit Foot saloon matter has been discussed. The | suit for damages makes tlfe situation more interesting.

A Vaudeville Theatre.

Birmingham may be on a circuit of continuous vaudeville performances.
 Exactly when the theatre will be erected cannot be stated, but represen- tattves of the enterprise were here a few weeks ago, looked over the city and had a conversation with a prominent real estate firm of Birmingham in re- gard to the theatre and a stock com pany to conduct it.
 It is understood that the theatre will not be ae large as the ordinary play house. but will be coxy and more of a family place of amusement. It will necessarily have to be in the center Of the city, convenient both to the busi- ness and residential sections of the city. It will also have to be close to the street car lines in order to draw patronage from the suburbs.
 According to the meagre information given out here the parties interested in the cirsuit are located in St. Louis, but have a connection in New York, from which point the bookings will be made. The circuit already has fourteen places in sight. Local capital will be inter- ested in each place so that there will be more than a cold-blooded proposi- tion thereto. It Is believed that a taste for vaudeville performances can be worked up and Birmingham will be one of the best points in the Southern section just as 1t is with theatrical and other attractions at present.

 The communication states that the subject for discussion at the conference is of vital importance to the country and urges a strong representation from this district.
 Attached to the call is a circular that states that the establishment of .airer trade relations with foreign nations is a matter that affects directly the pros- perity of every farmer, stock grower and exporter in the United States. One by one the European Governments are tightening the coils intended to stran- gle the American export trade in agri- cultural products and manufactured d goods. We are today face to face with a new and prohibitive German tarin designed to keep out every pound Of American breadstuffs and provisions Retaliation has been tried at tremen- dous cost to our producers and is a failure.

TAILORS HOLD CONVENTION.
Beau Brummels Will Have Opportunity
to InSDect "Crea tionsO

Now comes the tailors' convention. At
the Wellington hotel the Beau Brummels
of Chicago will have the opportunity to
inspect creations" of the fine Art with
capital Al of tailoring, which have
been gathered from all parts of the coun-
try for the convention of the Merchant
Iallors' Protective association. Full
dress waistcoats, with buttons made Of
precious stones, corseted oyercoats and
braided trousers are a few Of the styles
which will go to malA up the proper"
man FOR next winter. 1t is more than
probable that Master Fashion will send
forth an edict from the convention that
Man adopt the corset as part Of his ap-
parcl. Since the dressmakers took it
upon themselves recently to decide that
man should wear corsets, discussion of
the subject has been going on among the
molders of the male figure. With the
introduction of the corset for men, it
IS predicted that suspenders will he abol-
lshed from male attire. Suspenders have
prevented trousers from hanging cor
rectly, declare the tailors. With Il cor
set, trousers could be adjusted to perfec-
ton at the waist line. The flare at the
bottom of the corset would make it i'm
possible for the trousers to slip from
place, it is said
"Corsets have undoubtedly given
women Of i'll shapen figures forms most
pleasing to the eye said Il tailor.
There is no reason why the corset can
not be used to the same effect for men"
The proper thing to wear with a full
dress coat next year will be Il waistcoat
with bejeweled buttons. Fancy waist
coats, with buttons worth MANY times
more than the garment they adorn, will
be on exhibition. Diamonds, rubies en-
eralds and other gems will be used. Full
dress trousers will have broad band of
black braid running down the outside.
The pockets and lapels of coats, too,
will be braided.

LOSS OF APPETITE
Cold Sweats, Twitchine Nerves and
Weakness Cured by Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Nature Furnishes every irfraction of
her laws, and careless habits easily lead
to the condition described by Mr.. Will
liam Browne, of No. 1919 Lincoln street,
St. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Browne is an cx-
pert timer III the employ of the National
Biscuit Co. He gives the following ac-
count of trying experience:
. In the spring of 1902" he says,
"while was regularly working at my
trade. grew somewhat careless i'll my
habits of eating and drinking, and finally
found that my appetite was tickle, bad
taste fingered in my mouth, my nerves
twitched and were beyond my control,
my kidneys We're out of order and cold
sweats would break out over my body at
odd times. Perhaps, while | stood talk
ing with some one, this trembling
of the limbs, and profuse sweating, and
severe chill would seize me. | became
alarmed at my condition and, having
read an endorsement of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, got box and began To use
them. They helped me ut once. After
| had used one box the tWitChing of the
nerves, the trouble with the stomach
and the cold sweats stopped and have
not reappcared, and my appetite is good
have told all my friends that DR.. WI
liams' Pink Pills cured me and l recon-
mend them to everybody"
Dr. Williams Pink Pills cured Mr..
Browne because nothing can strengthen
the nerves except good rich, red blood
and DR.. Williams Pink Pills actually
make new blood. They don't act on the
bowels They don't bother with mere
symptoms. They drive from the blood
tho cause Of anpmia, indigestion, ner-
vous disorders, general weakness and
Che troubles of growing girls and women.
The pills are guaranteed to be free.
from 0piutes or harmful drugs. Sold 10y
