REPUBLICS DIVIDENDS.
Company Will Consider Plans for Pay
 nent of Back Dividends.

The Wall Street Journal says:
 It is entirely probable that at the meet ing on October Is the directors of Re- public Iron and Steel will consider 4 scheme Tor payment of back dividends on the preferred stock, though no definite conclusion may be reached at that time.
 There are several plans more or less tentative for the accomplishment of this purpose, but so far none has received fuli official approval. and 1t may be that none will in its present shape be finally adopted. A definite solution may only be arrived at by embodying in quite another proposition the best points in those which to some extent met with approval from certain substantial interests in the prop erty. Those, however, whose influence will become paramount in the direction of the companys affairs after the annual meet ing are convinced that in view of the prosperous condition of business and the stronger position which the company has come to occupy In the trade the limits of business conservatism will not be trans gressed by giving to preferred stockhold- CTS the dividends which on account of se- rious labor trouble and the collapse of the iron trade were suspended couple of years ago.
 There are anticpations of considerably better results from the management un- der Messrs. Bakus and Guthrie both of whom are practical men with a deep knowledge of the business and a high standing in the trade.

WORK IS EASIER ON
 QUARANTINE MEN
RAISING BAN AGAINST MISSlSSIP- Pl AND FLORIDA REMOVES A GREAT DEAL OF WORK RE- CURED IN BIRMINGHAM.

Raising the quarantine against Florida and Mississippi has made the work on Quarantine Supervisor Morgan and his as- sistants much easier. This Is especially true of the work of issuing certificates, which is done by c. E. Foster.
 When the quarantine against Missssip- pi was established the local quarantine of ficials had to answer telegrams of in- quiry by the hundreds. At least 100 re- quests were received every day from peo- pie in Mississippi asking permission to enter Ala bama from that state, and each of these telegrams required an answer. Now no permits are required, and people can enter the state without permission
 Since the free certificate was estab- lished the officers are required to issue about three times as many as were re- quired when a charge was made, and 1t is estimated that at least 50 per cent of them are not necessary.
 It is probable that the quarantine of Alabama against Louisiana and the in- fected points in Mississippi and Florida will be raised in about two weeks. The indications are that frost will fall in about two weeks that will be sufficient to kill all the mosquitoes in that section of Alabama.

FORTY CONFESSED
 FAITH IN CHRIST Great Spiritual Revival at Cum
 berland Presbyterian THOUSAND MEN INTENDED The Rev E. E. Hendrick Preached lm- pressive Sermon on Sowing
 and Reaplne' to Men Yes
 terday Afternoon.
THOUSAND MEN ATTENDED

One of the greatest spiritual awaken ings ever witnessed in Birmingham oc- cured at the First Cumberland Presby- terian church yesterday afternoon when over 1000 men attended the revival ser vices which are being conducted by the Rev. E. E. Hendrick, and forty eonver- sons were recorded.
 For the past week MT. Hendrick, who is considered one of the most effective evangelists in the south. assisted by Mir. Carter of Lebanon, Tenn, who is lead ing the singing. has been conducting a revival at the Cumberland Presbyterian church. The services have been well at tended and more than one hundred con- versions have been reported.
 The elimination of the revival was reached yesterday afternoon at the ser vices for men only. The Young Mems Christian association had united with the Cumberland Presbyterians and thorough canvas had been made of the city. Young men had gone into every section of Br- mlngham and extended personal invita- tions to men in every walk of life to at- tend the service.
  MT. Hendrick arose to announce his text he was greeted by one of the largest re- lgious gatherings of men ever seen in Birmingham.
 The singing In which over 800 n n took part, was led by a choir of tweney-fi, 0 well trained male voices
 The subject of the preachers sermon was Sowing and Reaping." He spoke m and eloquent and effective m tnlr on the importance of a young man guarding his habits for the good and shnnni lg that which is evil.
 He Illustrated his points by several ln- teresting incidents of every day l'e and emphasized the fact that "whatso ,vor a man soweth that shall he also reap" MT. Hendrick held the attention of his l hearers at all times At the conclusion of his address POO or 300 men stood up 1 for prayers and a large number re- l sponded to the invitation extended those l who desired to be saved. Many of these confessed conversion.
 l The services will be held every day this
 week at Il a. m. and 7:45 D. m.

 The representatives of the various To- calls present at the meeting yesterday afternoon were instructed to report the ac- tion of the council at the next meeting of the locals, and to state that the action of the council was the indication that 1t supported the movement.

 A number of the delegates discussed the matter at the meeting yesterday, and they were almost unanimously in favor of donating the money and also of lending moral support to the movement.
 It was announced that the meetings of the council in the future would be held in the new hall at 212is North Twen- teth street. The hall committee secured tbe hall and closed the contract for it's use. Credentials of c. NJ Sims and R II. Finkle were received from the pat tern makers union.

ROBSON STATES HE
 WILL WIN IN SIXTH
CANDIDATE WHO IS OPPOSING COL. BANkHEAD SPENT YES- TERDAY IN BlRMINGHAM-EN ROUTE TO NORTH AND EAST.

Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson. candf- date for congressional honors from the Sixth district, was in Birmingham yes- terday, en route from his home to the north and west, where he will deliver . series of lectures during the fall months. He is accompanied by Mrs Hobson.
 Capt, and Mrs. Hobson left last night at $50 o'clock for Cincinnati and Louis- vile, and it is probable that they will not return to Alabama until about Christ mas.
 In regard to the situation in the Sixth district Captain Hobson Is very opto- mstic. He said
 .I have been over every county in the district, and have found only one man who voted for me last time but who will vote against me this time. He promised an aged father on his death bed that he would vote for Colonel Bankhead and he will stick to his promise.
 "On the other hand I have met from 100 to 200 who will. change their vote from Colonel Bankhead and will give me their support. That is very conservative estimate of the number who have stated that they would change their vote this election.
 Everything looks favorable for me in the Sixth. I expect to be back early in the new year and to take up the active work of campaigning the district again.
 'I am going on lecture tour now, and will visit a number of places in the north east and west. Everything Is prosperous in the Sixth district"

Way Down East.u

Way Down East" which comes to the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and to- night, Is regarded as a classic among the wholesome and picturesque plays which depict rural life in New England It will be presented even upon a more elaborate scale than last season when 1t tested the capacity of all the theatres in which 1t appeared. There is in this delft combining of humor and pathos with in- cisive dramatic incident a tremendous amount of human interest. The passions and emotions which sway these simple people of the New Hampshire farm are the same that have governed all people of all ages since the world began. Hu- man nature is pretty much alike regard less of environment, and there are heart tragedies among the peaceful granite hills as stirring as those of the brilliant city boulevard.

PEOPLES COMPANY
 IS MAKING CHANGES
SWITCH BOARD AND OFFICES AT TELEPHONE EXCHANGE ARE BEING MOVED TO DIFFERENT PART OF BUILDING.

The Peoples Home Telephone company will make a number of changes in its present building on Eighteenth street, between Second and Third avenues. It will move the business offices from the second story on the ground floor and the switch board will be moved to offices that are now occupied by the Central Tele- phone and Construction company. The latter concern will remain in the same building. occupying the present rooms of the business department of the Peoples company
 It was deemed advisable by the man. agement to make the changes while so many telephones are being changed In speaking of the telephone changes w. B. Harper, manager of the Peoples com pany, said that the construction depart ment of the system had all it could look after, as about four hundred families using the Peoples phones having moved during the week. Every time a person moved an order was placed for a re- moval of the phone to the new residence.
 ''It helped business. though" said MT. Harper yesterday. "ln many instances the people moving in house where a phone was already installed insisted that it remain. The outgoing family wanted phone. of course. and it meant another subscriber
 The Bell Telephone company has also had big run on changes and the con- struction department of that company hoe had its hands full The work has been executed as fast the people moved, however, and hardly a family lost the phone service for more than one day.

It was announced yesterday that the new long distance telephone line between Birmingham and Decatur would be in op- eration before the end of the present month. Announcement was also made that work on the line between Decatur and Bowling Green is being rushed to com pletion and that the time is not far dis tant when 1t will be possible for the peo- pie of this city to talk with no less than nine states over the Southern Long Dis tance Telegraph and Telephone company s system.
 In making these announcements, J. C. Montieth, the local manager of the South ern Long Distance company, as we'll as manager of the Central Telephone Con- struction company, which is putting up the line, said that negotiations were be- ing made between his company and the New York City council for a franchise to

enter New York. He said that three other independent lines were after the franchise but that everything favored his com pany.
 MT. Montieth said that definite an- nouncement would be made concerning the establishment of a number of tele- phone systems in various towns in Ala bama when W. H. Crum, telephone con tractor and engineer, reaches the city within the next two weeks MT. Crum spent a few hours here Thursday and returned to Chicago, his headquarters. While here he said the contract for the Talladega system had been let, and that 1t would soon be connected with the new service. Attalla will probably be the next place to get MT. Crumis attention. He is not only an expert in the construc- tion of telephone systems but furnishes most of the money with which they are built.

 At St. Paul's the Rev. Father Kitrick was celebrant at high mass and the Rev. Father Coyle occupied the pulpit During the offertory Miss Fern Minor, a pupil of Miss Van Merkestyn, the solo soprano of St. Pauls', sang a beautiful devotional piece.

The church census thus far listed numbers about 5000 souls. Many more Catholics are yet to be enrolled in St. Paul's parish book. It is estimated that the enrolment will reach fully 4000 It is said that St. Pauls and the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows combined have a membership of about 6000.
 The bishop has transferred the Rev. Father Duffy from East Lake to Tnsca- loosa, to take the place temporarily of the Rev. Father Cassidy, yellow fever immune. now on duty in Pensacola.

There is much that Is interesting and pleasing, and there is more originality than has been present. ed by another musical show since the happy days of Chip and Marble.
 The chorus Is attractive. The girls are young and pretty. and mighty good taste has been used in the selection of a good many costumes. These young people can also sing. and their dance numbers have been the strongest encore winners.
 MT. Dooley and the others will remain all the week at the popular play house, appearing at all regular scheduled times of performance.

has yet been found for cod liver oil. There are so-called extracts, wines and cordials of cod liver oil that are said to contain the active principles but not the oil itself. This is absurd on its face. You might as well extract the active prin- ciples of wheat and make bread with them. The best form of cod liver oil, that can be digested and assimilated most easily, is Scott's Emul- sion.
