CHIEF WEIR ISSUES
 ORDERS TO POLICE
MUST PAY MORE ATTENTION TO- -s. THEIR PERSONAL APPEARANCE, AND KEEP MOVING AND STAY AWAKE WHILE ON DUTY.

Birmingham's police must pay moro attention to their personal appearance.
 The patrolmen in the future will not be allowed to leave their coats unbut- toned, and above all things they must not lean on posts and carry on 1ong con versations with citizens, except in the strict discharge of their duty
 Orders 10 that effect were issued to Captain Johnston, and Lieutenants IIa- good and Eagan yesterday by Chief of Police Wier, and he says that the orders must be obeyed.
 The instructions were given to the cap tain and lleutenants that they must en- force these instructions iigidly. It is one of the first moves made by the de- pertinent looking to better liseipiac sine the eght-hour shifts were established place of the old 12-hour shifts.
 When the policemen were on duty f twelve hours at time. the officers fe as if 1t was somewhat of hardship observe every little rule and regulation One of the conditions Of granting Il petition of the policemen for eight-hon shifts was that the rules would bc more Iigidly enforced. as the policemen ara on duty only eight hours with sixteen hours off duty.
 Chief Wier says that there Is no reason now for the patrolmen stopping on cor ners and leaning against posts ot inlhins for ten or fifteen minutes, but that they must keep OH the move all the tune.

MACCABE PLEADS
 FOR FREE SPORTS
SPEAKS ON MUNICIPAL GYMNA- SUMS AT ATHLETIC CLUB-THE PLAN TO BE TAKEN UP BY Lo- GAL EDUCATION.

Joseph B. Maccabe president of the Amateur Athletic association of the United States, spoke at the Birmingham Athletic club last night on the subieet of amateur sports and their connection wfsh the education of the masses.
 He stated that the object of the or ganization of which he was president was to establish and maintain open-air and indoor gymnasiums throughout the length and breadth of the land The movement began at the East Boston Athletic associa- ton several years ago and now branches are found in all parts of the United States
 The speaker told how the city of Bos- ton had raised $lSO0O0 for maintaining an Institution of this character and dwelt enthusiastically upon the work that is be- ing done there According to his state ments, it has been a great factor in rais- ing the standard of morality in the Hub City and has produced a number of fla nous athletes. Arthur Duffy and Billy Holland received their training In tha Boston municipal gymnasium.
 MT. Maecabe made a strong plea for those who, on account of financial llm- itation or religious opinion. are unable to enjoy the advantages of the athletic club or Young Mems Christian assoeia- tion. and said: You and I owe some thing to our fellowman who is not as well situated in life as ourselves"
 In a great and cosmopolitan ely like Birmingham. where are found the very flotsam and 1etsam of humanity, the speaker declared that there is a crying need for some institution of this kind, and he urged the men present 10 do what they could to bring the question before the city authorities. He suggested that it would be a good idea to build q public stadium in East park.
 After talks by James Bowron and Prof. C. B. Glenn, the assembly was adjourned subject to a call by Secretary Miles of the Athletic club It is proposed at this called meeting to set on foot plans looking toward the establishment of municipal gymnasiums and baths in Birmingham.

Is Disease a Crime :?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine published an editorial article in which the writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal Certain 1t is, that much, of the sickness and suffering of mankind is due to the violation of certain of Natures laws But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable individual as radically wrong.
 It would be harsh, unsympathetic, cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, over worked housewife who sinks under the heavy load of household cares and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacements of pelvic organs and other heterogeneous peculiar to her sex.
 Frequent bearing of children. with its ex- acting demands upon the system. coupled with the care. worry and labor of rearing. large family, is often the cause of weak nesses, derangements and debility which are aggravated by the many household cares. and the hard. and never-ending work which the mother is called upon to perform. Dr. Pierce. the maker of that world-famed rem edy for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ills-Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription-sa that one of the greatest obstacles to the cure of this class of maladies is the fact that the poor, over-worked housewife can not get the needed rest from her many household cares and labor to enable her to secure from the use of his Prescription its full benefits. It is matter of frequent experience. he says. in his extensive practice In these cases to meet with those in which his treatment falls by reason of the patients inability to abstain from hard work long enough to be cured With those suffering from prolapsus. ante version and retroversion of the uterus or other displacement of the womanly organs 1t is very necessary that. in addition to talk ing his wFayorite Prescription they abstain from being very much. or for long periods. on their feet. All heavy lifting or straining of any kind should also be avoided. As much outdoor air as possible. with moderate. light e 1- ia UlaIt i'm At Is<f e patient observe these rules and the Favor ite Prescription will do the rest.
 Dr. Pierce's Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., 21 one-cent stamps for pa- per-coyered or 31 stamps for cloth-bound.
 If sick consult the Doctor, free of charge by letter. All such communications are held sacredly confidential

 Ferd Marx-'As for the merchants con- tributing, I think they give up for every thing that comes along. By all means the fair should be continued. It is d great thing for Birmingham"
 Arthur Smith-'I think by all means the citizens of Birmingham should see the fair proposition through. It's debts should all be paid It is the best advertising medium for the city, and can be made, a. paying investment
 J. D. Collins-"I am under the impress sion that the merchants have contributed liberalla to numbers of institutions for the upbuilding of Birmingham They bear the burden of the tax of the town '
 Sam Blach: 'I believe the fair will 90 through all right It's a good thing and | don't believe the merchants and other citizens of Birmingham will let 1t get away from them. It's not only decided benefit to the city but I think it a good investment"
 M. T. Cox: "I think by all means the property should be retained and be- lieve the merchants will do their share. It Is an enterprise that every citizen should take an interest in It is the only unplatted grounds adjacent to Birming- ham and it is practically in the heart of Jefferson county For an exposition grounds or amusement park it is the only available place and it is more aecessi- ble even than East Lake"
 August IIirseh: "l think it very essen- tial that Birmingham should have per manent fair. Not alone are all mcr- cantile interests which have always sub scribed liberally, benefited by il, but indirectly every property owner, and they should subscribe without hesitation The prosperity of the merchant means the prosperity of the capitalist and land lord. As T. II. Motion said Friday in Il truly pnblic-spirited way '1'll subscribe for $500 worth of bonds, not caring q rap whether l get cent back or not " ,.

NUMBER OF ARRESTS TO
 BE GREATLY DECREASED

A man connected withst the police force said yesterday that the change to eight hour shifts was the best thing for the city of Birmingham that had ever been done by the department lie stated that it not only insured better police pro- tection but that il would mean a marked reduction in the number of arrests. In his opinion some of the policemen would not be so hasty about arresting people on frivolous charges, but would take time to consider.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-04-08

It is freely predicted at police head quarters that there will be rewer arrests made by the policemen With eight hour shifts than were made when the police men were on duty for twelve hours.
 One of the chief causes of this change will be. according to members of the force, that the patrolmen attend court now on their own time. whereas they at tended court on the eity's time with twelve hour shifts

MINING NOTES.

W. Moore and Mr. Bruce left for the
city Wednesday morning on business.
They with several others are interest,
ed in the operations of the Amador
Queen mine in Murphy's gulch under
lease. The lease has or Is about to
expire, and 1t is believed they are
anxious to have it renewed. The
workings of the property under the
lease have not been very profitable.
1t is pocketty region, and the sole
object Of the mining is the finding of
the rich deposits. One or two fairly
good punches have been found, with
fair prospects of other pockets being
found shortly. 1t Is hoped they will
get new lease, and run across pro-
titable seams of ore in the near future.
