 President of the Commercial Club.
 J. B. BABE. Secretary.
 The call issued by President Motion was the result of the action of the Conner cial club Thursday afternoon, when it passed resolutions pledging aid from Bir mingham. The club did not specify any method of raising the money to be sent tc San Francisco, and President Motion issued the call for the mass meeting after conferring with members of the club.
 It is believed that several thousand dol lars will be subscribed at this meeting. Already $500 has been raised by the con- gregation of the Temple Emanuel, which will be turned into the general fund.
 A few of the people in Birmingham who have relatives or friends in cities close to San Francisco. Or cities where the earthquake was felt, have received mes sages from them saying they were not injured, but those whose relatives or friends were in San Francisco Or other towns which suffered heavily have been unable to obtain any direct information.

 Now. 1t happened that two of the most prominent citizens of the village "a lawyer and a doctor-got to dis cussing this peculiarity of Henry Gates, whereupon the lawyer, who had lately been in Colorado at a time when bison were plentiful. said; I will bet you sl0 that Henry will back me up In saying that buffalo can climb tree
