the city yesterday from an extended cam
paign tour through Hale, Perry, Dallas,
Wilcox and Clarke counties He Is looking
we'll and hearty and seems confident of
large mejorities In the counties visited.
In discussing his campaign Ex-Governor
and making speeches constantly since the
latter part of May and have been in forty
two counties and have made many
speeches
MY friends seem confident that all
these counties will give me Tnajorities
in the race for alternate senator | have
the advantage over several of my oppon-
ents in having close influential friends in
nearly every precinct in the state and
they are all actively at work for me.
All my old friends are sticking to me
in this race and many who have not
supported me in the past are now work
ing for me-
The Ex-Governor humorously remarked
that he had no apprehension of the re-

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.

Brindamour, at the Bijou this week,
does all that he claims he can do. Last
night he escaped from all the handouts
and manacles that were carried to the
theatre, and he also escaped from Jail
cell on the stage after being handcuffed
and his legs manaced The act is a puz-
zlng one and the police and detectives
present seemed as much astonished as
the remainder of the audience, although
their business is to handle handouts.
Detective George Bodeker carried pair
of handouts to the theatre that are sup
posed to be the finest made. There is not
another pair like them in the state of
Alabama. Brindamour declared that he
had not seen a pair of that kind in years
and that they were the most complicated
made. Nevertheless he escaped from them
in less than three minutes. A pair car
ried to the theatre by Deputy Sheriff En-
mis- were even easier to be extricated from
than those of Detective Bodeker.
At II o'clock this morning Brindamour
will be locked in a cell in the city Jail
and will escape therefrom, although he
will be handcuffed and manacled inside
the Jail. Chief Wier and a number of
policemen will watch the escape, and the
public has been invited TO be present and
see Brindamour escape. 1t will be a free
exhibition.
There are several other acts on the bill
this week that are good Eddie Girard

as collective work. The story deals with
the mishaps of a man and his wife, the

HUMANE SOCIETY
TO MAKE CAMPAIGN
WILL STRIVE TO PROMOTE IN
CREASED INTEREST AMONG CIT.
IzENS DURING THE COMING
FALL-WoRKINo MoDEsTLY

A number of persons who are interested
in the Birmingham Humane society held
a meeting in the hall of the Jefferson
County Medical society yesterday after
noon and discussed plans for the better
msnt of the institution and the widening
of its scope. Marked enthusiasm for the
work was shown by those in attendance,
and among other things 1t was decided
TO prosecute an active campaign for new
members during the coming fall when
the vacation season shall have been finish
ed and the citizens have begun to settle
down for the winter.
Arresting Officer L. A. Bonnie made no
formal report, but he stated among other
things that he thought it would be best
to work with the end in view of becoming
similar to the Louisiana State Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
which Is so we'll organized and helpful in
the city of New Orleans He also said
that he thought that the first thing that
the society should take up at the present
time is the securing of a good collector to
solicit new members, promote interest
among the business firms of the city, and
to see that dues and donations are paid
into the society's treasury when they be-
come due He declared that the lack of
sufficient funds and the negligence Of the
members in paying their dues has been
one of the most serious handicaps to the
work of the society In the past.
According to the opinion of those In at
tendance on the meeting yesterday after
noon the Birmingham Humane society
has been a potent factor for good In the
past but It has not developed in man.
ner commensurate with the growth OF the
city. While this is generally conceded
to be a rather unfavorable season for at
tempting to arouse widespread interest in
the Regeneration of the organization, those
interested in the Birmingham Humane
society wish to let the general public
know that there is still a great deal OF
vitality in the institution, and that it is
still working on in a modest way for
the prevention of cruelty to animals, with
a view to taking on new life and not
hiberna ting during the course of the COM
ing fall and winter. In the mean time,
all who wish to align themselves with
the society are invited TO confer with l..
A. Bonnie and to send such subscriptions
as they may desire to make to him.

NEWS BOY KILLED.
Had His Head Out of the Window and
Was Struck BY Box Car Door.

A newsboy on a Louisville and Nash
Vile train was killed yesterday at Co
lumbia, Tenn. The train was moving at a
fairly high rate of speed through the
outskirts of the town when the accident
happened.
Details are meagre. but from all ac-
counts 1t seems that the boy, whose name
was Waters, was sitting with his head
out of the window. and was struck by
the door of a box car which was stand
ing on a siding. 1t is supposed that the
door of a refrigerator car. which OPEN
ed outward on hinges, had been left open.
or had been blown ajar by the wind. 1t
was this with which the boys head came
in contact. and it is reported that death
resulted instantaneously He was native
of Nashville, and the body was carried
back there for burial

A boy in soldiers uniform was walking
down Eleventh avenue Sunday afternoon
and some of the little fellows caught
sight of him.
''There goes sure enough soldierr

"And he's got a bugle!"
Look at the pistol in his belt!"

The soldier boy, who was a modest
young member of Company d, Brandon
Light artillery, on his way to the depot,
looked around to see what the excitement
was about.

the small boys stood stock still in awe

of the times. This part was taken by
Dick Thomas
The real comedy work of the play was
brought out by James Leslie, John b.
Wills and Miss Kate Helston. 1t was
high order of comedy-the kind that
is calculated to please the most cultured.
All of the parts were well cared for and
the musical numbers received liberal
eneores.
There were several new faces seen last
