SUNDAY DRUNKS
 WE'RE THIRTEEN
OF THAT NUMBER, AN EVEN DOZEN WERE WHITE MEN. CLOTHING THIEVES ARE STILL PROMINENT.

Charged with being drunk on Sunday, which is considered by the judge of the police court more serious offense than being drunk any other day, thirteen men were arrested yesterday.
 Of that large number. there was but one negro.
 Without exception. the white men were "old hands, at the whisky game and their appearance elicited no surprise. Judge Feagin will pass on their cases to- day.
 With the exception of drunken men, the officers had an exceedingly quiet day yesterday. There were but six other ar rests, and of that half dozen four were white Three of these white persons were charged with vagrancy, and one of the three was a woman
 Since the advent of cold weather, the police expect a considerable increase in the number of drunken men. This Is an- other evil of the cold.
 The negroes in winter make themselves busy stealing overcoats and other wear ing apparel. Yesterday, J. Mckay Nor man. 1912 Avenue l. reported the loss by theft sof a full dress suit and a Tuxedo coat He valued the stolen clothing at sl00 J. A.

WHITE PRISONER
 FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
MIR, BEVERLY FOUND UNCON- SCIOUS IN CITY JAIL AND SENT TO HosPlTAL-HADA AN AWFUL BAD FALL.

E. T. Beverly, q white man, was sent from the city jail yesterday to the Hll- man hospital, with a serious scalp wound.
 The man was found unconscious in his cell. and while no definite information was obtainable, 1t is believed by the war den at the jail that he had an epiieptlc fit. and fell upon his head.
 The physician who examined the wound was unable to state positively whether or not the skull was fractured, and it will be this marning after further exam nation before the truth can be known. The wound is considered a serious one.
 MT. Beverly was arrested Saturday by officers Brown and Mathewson, charged with disorderly conduct. The warden was informed yesterday afternoon that an in- jured man was lying on the jail floor. An investigation immediately followed. MT, Beverly was unconscious and blood was oozing from a wound on the rear of the head. He was immediately sent to the Hillman hospital where medical attention was given him.. It is generally believed that while under the stress of an epilep- tic fit, the man fell, striking his head against the steel frame work in the prison

Judging from the reports received at police headquarters yesterday, the thieves had a special grudge against the physi- clans of the city and horses. Three phy- sicians made complaint concerning the depredations of thieves. and as many as five horses were reported stolen.
 pr. Barclay reported to headquarters that after hltching his horse at l9lf Ave nue E yesterday morning, he mas not seen his animal nor his carriage since This complaint was booked by the ser geant, and before word could be passed down the line that the officers should make a special search for this animal, pr. Martin called up. This physician, early yesterday morning, while waiting for a car at Avondale, had stolen rom him his case of surgical mstruments' valued at S20. He was unable to give clew to the identity of the thief.

Gas Blowing Engines.

''The most striking thing in German practice is the almost universal introduce ton of gas blowing engines for furnace work, and they seem to entirely over come the difficulties incident to cleaning furnace gas from dust, so as to make 1t useful for this purpose.
 At one plant the furnaces were entirely driven by gas engines, and there was enough surplus gas to supply power for the entire operation of rolling mill and steel plant with an output of several hundred thousand tons year. which is situated three or four miles distant. The power for this plant is electric through out. This plant is manufacturing basic Bessemer steel and was one of the first plants to utilize this method and to mar ket the slag from the converters for fer tilizer. The profit from the siag pays the entire labor cost of the plant
 "It is not hard therefore to understand how they had paid -slseAa efforIn0us divi- dends even after finishing their engine rooms in carved mahogany, or to be- lieve the statement that they could pay the tariff and sell this steel in Pittsburg at satisfactory profit. We have much to learn from our German cousins, who have brought the most detailed science, knowledge and investigation to bear upon everyday problems

The Unbelievers.
by Him.

But ohl the blindness of the human heart! They will accept any explanation of His miracles save the obvious one. If He casts out devils 1t must be by Beelze- bub, the prince of devils Thus they render their unbelef imprequable: they have entrenched themselves safely against all evidence of His divine mission Grace cannot come near them. And so their hatred has free scope. The more miracles He works the more lie proves Himself seducer, nd an ambitious man. His very beneficence and goodness in healing upon the Sabbath serves but to establish beyond doubt that He Is q Sabbath break CT, and one who sets Himself above the law. Let Him do good beyond measure now-it is all one to these men who have blinded themselves. Thus day by day their hatred grows, till they openly seek His death. And at last their hour has come, and the power of darkness The high priest has said 1t: "One man must die for the people,"
 You know. beloved brethren. the nhu- man barbarity with which those scribes and pharisees flung themselves. so 10 speak, upon their long chased quarry, and tore and mangled His innocent body till they had satiated their wrath. Look at the Lamb of God, as He lies stretched out upon the cross to which they have ham mered Him fast, hands and feet The story of their cruelty can be read there Shoulders, back and sides are one raw sore from the heavy lashes rained upon Him at the pillar, when they did their utmost to kill Him: one raw sore exuding great drops and streams of blood, and showing the very ribs beneath to which the searching scourges have bitten their way. Look at His head a wreath of thorns encircles it, piercing into the tenn pies, and shooting agony into the brain The tender hands and feet pierced through and through, quver helplessy about the nail-heads. And oh! the face that was SO sweet. go amiable, is now pale and pinched. and ghasty; and the mouth that spoke the words of healing. covered with foam and blood. is drawn back in gasping pain. There He is the man that must die for the people-loolf at Him ye scribes and pharisees and gloat your eyes with the sight; your work Is well done; from the top of His head to the sole of His feet there fig no soundness in Hlm a worm and no man, the reproaeh

Hiedon and Stiles to Witness "The
 County Chairman"

Col E. l.. IIlgdon has accepted the invi- tation of R. s. Douglas. manager of tho Jefferson theatre to occupy a box at the production of "rhe County Chairman Thursday night Judge ! r. Stiles, who was also asked to witness George Ades great comedy. which deals with county politics, will probably communicate with Mr Douglas today At the time the in- yitation was extended he intimated that he would accept in the event he had no engagement to speak Thursday night
 The following is the letter received by Mir Douglas from Colonel Higdon.
 Birmingham Ala, October 27' 1906. Mir k. s. Douglas, City.
 My Dear Sir-I have the pleasure of ac- ceptlng your kind invitation through tho manager of "The County Chairman to be present at the entertainment to be presented at the Jefferson theatre on next Thursday evening. November 1.
 Thanking you for this courtesy and wishing you much success, 1 am, yours very truly,

 Mr Douglas conceived the idea of hav- ing the real candidates witness "The County Chairman for the reason that the play deals with d campaign very much like the contest now on in Jef- ferson county In the play the election for states attorney Is the question in- volved. The marching clubs. the torch light proeesslons. speech-making and all the details of campaign are presented true to life on the stage just as they have been seen in Jefferson county since Judge Stiles and Colonel Higdon have opposed each other

of men and the out cast of the people. And what a fire of helish joy riots and dances in their bosoms. They wag their heads, and mock His torments with taunts and cruel pests. The chief priests with the scribes and ancients moekina said: "He saved others. Himself He can not save. If He be the King of Israel let Him come down now from the cross and We will believe in Him. He trusted in God let Him now deliver Him, for He said: I am the Son of God"
 Christ's Dying Words.
 And what says He, the poor wreck of human being, what says He midst this fiendlsh elamor? Has He for these wrctches no last word of scorchng bale no everlansting curse, eating to the mar row of thelr bones, no dying mans male- diction, whitening their future, and mak- ing life and eternity a desert to their feet No. stand astonished ye heavens and attend O you earth His lips move but not with curses. His eyes open but not to blight. Father" says He, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Oh! the kindness, the love, the spirit of for kiAfiitab Ailf M1lih 1l hhllFdSAlt th AbAil- passion contains in this small prayer. It takes you direct to the dying saviors heart, the inenhansted fountain of meek ness and charity, while its feeble pulse netters the life that sustans that heart is mercy, love and compassion. He averts His dying eyes from the sea of moeking faces that surge around Him; He with draws His memory from the long roll of injuries and wrongs which He has sus- tained at the hands of those enemies He remembers only the blindness and ignor- anee, self-wrought if you wish which has wrapt them as in cloud; fIc bears in mind that seeing they had not seen; His poor enfeebled heart throbs with yearn- ing and compassion for the poor sinners who are rushing headlong to descrution: and with all the energy of His being He pleads their cause before His heavenly Father and shields them, as far as in Him lies, from the consequences of their sin crying out with last dying breath: Father. forgive them, for they know not what they do'
 With this image of our wounded, suf- fering Savior before our eyes, with the echo of that touching plea of His dying lips for forgiveness of His enemies still ringing in our ears, let us banish from our hearts all hatred. anger and desire of revenge. Let us freely forgive our neighbor the few slight offences of which he may have been the cause, bearing no malice in our hearts for his thoughless word or unwilling act. If we do so we have Gods promise that He too will for give us. for with the same measure we | measure unto others it shall be measured nntn

DOCTORS AND HORSES
 SUFFER FROM THIEVES

Just as this item was booked, Dr. Cooke called up the department. The doctor re- ported that he had left his horse htched in front of the Chalifoux building. and that he has not seen it since Sergeant Shirley was beginning to get an idea that the doctors were up against it good and stout But when William Williams, from s0l South Seventeenth street, notified the department that his bay animal had been stolen, and that he was willing to pay reward for the recovery, the sergeant imagined, too, that beggars were prepar- ing to ride. This was not all, either. Im- mediately after this last complaint, Alder man John R. Copeland notified the de- partment that early yesterday morning, his horse broke loose from hitching post. ran away, tore his buggy to pieces, and had not been seen since. Desk Ser geant Shirley quietly tainted away.

The savlor's Example.


 Such was our Saviors teaching. let us turn now to His example, And whilst passing over the many instances in which this spirit of forgiveness was displayed by our divine master, l would crave your attention for one in particular.
 In the gospel of St. Luke we read: And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, they erucified Him there; and the robbers. one on the right hand and the other on the left And Jesus said: Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke xNiii & 34)
 II is upon this prayer of the dying Savior of men breathing the utmost eX- cess of love and forgiveness, that l would ask you to ponder awhile
 For three long years, from the time of our Lords public appearance. the leaders of the synagogue had hated Him with q fiendish malice Their pride was wounded to the quick by the superior wisdom of His words and the authority with which He spoke: Who was He that He should put up to teach the people? His origin they thought they knew: 'Is not this the carpenters son? His hands were hard with manual labor; His life had been passed amongst the poorest of the popu- lation. He had never studied under the masters of tho law; what presumption then to sit in the chair of the teacher and to draw the people after Him as if He were another Moses or Elias! But that was not all. He was revolutionary in His teaching; man who would fan supercede the older precepts and maxims and substitute His own. His cry was: You have heard it said to them of old but l say to you." Here indeed was not merely presumption, but most perlous innovation. And to their profound amaze ment, chagrin and perplexlty. He con- firmed His doctrine by potent signs and miricles; the blind sec the lame walk. the lepers are ceansed. There is no denying that these marvels are wrought bV Him

The man laid his grips down calmly and with a determination to let them stay there per- manently. He went across the street to buy, as he explained, cigar. Soon the warden was called to the telephone. The man had gone to the sheriff's office, and told the same story. He soon returned to the city jail, and there begged to be locked up until morning.
 So urgent was he that the request was granted. As soon as he was placed with in the jail his raving was three-fold. He was in the clutches of delrum tre- mems.
 No charge is doeketed against him. He will be released this morning.

IMPRESSIONS OF GERMANY

Charles Catlett of Staunton, Va. chem ist and geologist of Staunton, Va, is at the Hillman. MT. Catlett was formerly of the United States geological survey labratory, and was also member of the international jury of mines and Metal lurgy at the St. Louis exposition. He is regarded as one of the foremost economic geologists in the country.
 MT. Catlett's purpose in coming to Bir- mingham is to view the Leeds cement plant in which he Is interested, being a director in the company. The plant will begin operations during the coming week. but will not for some time market its product, the reason for this being that cement is rendered more valuable by the seasoning process, inasmuch as it's chrys- talne structure Is thereby changed, and it is more easily crushed.
 Speaking of the growing demand for cement, MT. catlett said:
 Ut is scarcely an exaggeration to say that this is a cement age. The cement industry today in tons is equal to the iron industry in tons in 1886, and bids fair to expand more rapidly in the same length of time. And there is every req son why it should be- For building pur- poses 1t is becoming more valuable all the while, especially in view of the fact that our timber supply is being so rapid ly exhausted Iron imbedded in cement will not corrode, and will apparently last forever.

Precepts lnculcated.

Time and again did our heavenly Mas ter inculcate this lesson of mutual for giveness by word and by example. Pie ture to yourselves our blessed Savior as, seated on the mountain top, surrounded by His disciples, He taught the multitude "Blessed are the merclful.s' He pro claims, flor they shall obtain mercy. You have heard that it hath been said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you not to resist evil, but if one strike thee on thy right cheek. turn to him also the other You have heard that it hath been said thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thy enemy. But l say to you: Love your enemies, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that persecute and calumnate you" CMatt v)
 Again. recall that prayer of prayers which the same Divine Master vouch- safed to teach His apostes and which is the precious inheritance of the Chris ton faithful to the end of time And 1t came to pass" writes the evangelist that as He was in a certain place pray ing, when He ceased one of His disciples said to Him: Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught His disciples" 01ulSe xi-D Jesus was Himself praying; Ills disciples were loHong on; His example innamed them with the desire of praying likewise, but they wished to have n prayer of His own special teaching. They accordingly ventured to ask Him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples" Whereupon complying with their request. He said to them: When you pray, say: Our Father who art in heaven. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tfespass against us.' To this petition only does our Divine Lord attach condition, for lie not only says: Forgive us our trespasses. but inn mediately adds: As we forgive those who trespass against us K171 this condition Is so important that He makes 1t special matter of commentary: For if you will forgive men their offenses, your heaven 1y Father will forgive you also your of lenses. But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offenses." (Matt. vi-14-JD
