Our Idea of a Modern DRUG STORE

It has taken centuries of business to prove one of the simplest things about business The simplest thing is chat a storekeeper should put the interest of his customers before his own. Many have claimed to do this. but to really do 1t. is the rare thing. Rarer still is the Knowledge that when this is done the business is surest to thrive. We hold this belief firmly. We think fur- fher that in all lines of business the druggist should be most in harmony with this principle because the sale of drugs has to do with the health and lives of people. r
 Our drugs are absolutely fresh and the finest obtainable: our prescription department is equipped with every thing required for the scientific dis pensing of medicines: our work is marked by accuracy that comes by suitable preparation and ample experi- ence.

Springfield, ILL, special to Chicago TIL
 Clark E. Carr, in an address before the Illinois State Historical Society to- night related the circumstances of Lin- coins memorable address at Gettys- burg, MT. Carr was present and his address reveals many features of that historical occasion not heretofore un- derstood.
 MT. Carr told of the inception of the plan for a national cemetery on the Gettysburg battlefield and related the manner in which Edward Everett had been invited to deliver the principal address of the day. He continues:
 'sThe proposition to ask MT. Lincoln to sneak at the Gettysburg ceremonies was an afterthought. The President Inf the United States had. like the oth- CT distinguished personages, been in- vited to be present, but Mir. Lincoln was not at flat time, invited to speak In fact it did not seem to occur to any one that he could speak upon such an
 ..It must be remembered that MT. Lincoln had not then proved to the world his ability to speak upon such an occasion. He had not yet made a Cettvsburg address, and he had not tbsn made that other address, which, for slbliinty and pathos, ranks next to it. his second inaugural. r+

Excatea UnfriendIy Comment.

MT. Carr then quoted at length from book whitten by Ward Hill Lamon, Tinted states marshal for the District of Columbia. who was on the platform when Lincolns address was made. The quotation follows:
 "On the platform from which Mfr Lincoln delivered his address, and only a moment after 1t was concluded, MT. Seward turned to MT. Everett and asked him what he thought of the Presidents s speech. Mir Everett replied: It IS not what I expected from him. l am disappointed" Then, in his turn, MT. Everett asked: What do you tnink ol it. Mir, Seward?'' The response was; He has made q failure and I am sorry for it. His speech is not equal to him. MT. Seward then turned to me and asked: MT. Marshal, what do you think of it?" I answered, T am sorry to say that 1t does not Impress me as one of his great speeches.
 In the face of these facts, continues MT. Lamon, it has been repeatedly pup lished that this speech was received by the audience with loud demonstra- lions of anproyal; that amid the tears, sobs and cheers it produced in the ex- cited throng, the orator of the day. MT. Everett, turned to Mir. Lincoln, grasped his hand. and exclaimed; congratu- late vou on your successr adding In a transport of heated enthusiasm, An. Mir. President, how gladly would give my hundred pages to be the author of your twenty lines
 As a matter of fact, Mr.A Lamon goes on to say, the silence during the deliV. cry of the speech and the lack of hearty demonstrations of approval im- mediately after it's close, were taken by MT. Lincoln as certain proof that 1t was not well received. In that opinion we all shared. If any person then present saw, or thought he saw, the marvellous beauties of that wonderful speech, as intelligent men in all lands now see them, his superabundant cau- tion closed -his lips and staid ms pen
 Not Out of the Ordinary.
 Continuing his address, MT. Carr told how the famous address failed to im- press him, saying: IA.
 'I heard every word and every artle- uIation of Mir. Lincoln, and naa no re- alization that he did anything more than make a few dedicatory remarks His expressions were so plain ana ,,lS hoiile, Iy. without any attempt at fhelot 4oei e periods, and his statements ws t. S oS axiomatic. and, I may say, matter oI fact ana SD simple, that l had no, luea tbat as an address it was anythlhs more than ordinary -l ..u,,. ,s
 'I was much struck, many times as T had heard him. by the appearance Of MT Lincoln when he arose ana stooo before the audience. It seemed to me that I had never seen any other human taIys. who was so stately and, l may cav ~ majestic. and yet benignant. His Sas,,res had a sad. mournful, almost basgard, and still hopeful expression EveTv one was impressed with his sim ceritv and earnestness

FOR THE UNIVERSITY
PLANS OF GREAT SCOPE OF ALUMNI
 ASSOCIATION.
Scheme Set on Foot to Make Tuscaloosa One of the Leading Colleges of The Southern section Of
 The Nation.

Birmingham. Jan 27.--fSpeeial.l-- Plans were today laid in Birmfng gham by enthusiastic members of the Society of Alumni of the University of Afabama for a Great University at Tuscaloosa that will meet the demands for untver- sity education in Alabama for many wears to come.
 The meeting was attended by rep resentative members of the alumni as sociation and immediately after an ad- journment sub-committees went active ly to work on the succinct plan formed The members of the committee of the Society of the Alumni will at the next meeting in June at Tuscaloosa, present the plan. which will include the con- struction of new buildings, the beauti- flea ton of the University grounds and the raising of a fund that will put Alabama University on as high plane as any educational institution in the South.
 The meeting was called by Robert Jemison, chairman of the committee on Geological Museum. and was held to the office of the big Birmingham finan- +eier.. The meeting, however, was not held in the interest of the Geological Museum but in the. interest of the Greater University idea. In addition tc MT. Jemison there were present Hill Ferguson, the young and active presi. dent of the Society of the Alumni, pr Eugene A. Smith. of the chair of geolo, gy. John Jemison. of Birmingham, San Friedman, of Tuscaloosa, ". c. F Harding, president of Birmingham's First National Bank, Dr. Thomas E. Owen, of the State Department of Ar. chives and History, and E. T. Peter, oi Tuscaloosa.
 The committee decided that at the meeting of the Society of the Alumni in June, plan would be presented tc put the University in such condf- ton that 1000 students could be easily accommodated. The members consid- cred that the rapid advances Alabama Is making require such a step. Archi- tects and engineers have already been employed and are now actively aA work preparing plans for the buildings and grounds. The plans contemplate an extention of the campus from the pres ent entrance to the University to the Black Warrior River, with suitable walks, driveways, bridges and regatta course.
 Tho details of the plan were left to a subcommittee composed Of Rop- ert Jemison, Hili Ferguson and Presi- dent J. W. Abercrombie. After the u1ans have been submitted to the Alum nj, they will go to the Board of Trus- tees and there be modified or enlarged as the members see fit. Teh plan will then be presented to the people of the State
 Members of the committee are as- sured that the Greater University idea will not fail.

Mrn. TrousdaIe Goes to Illinois.

The decomposed body of woman supposed to be that of Mrs. !. O. Man gruln. of Nashville. sister of Mrs. Logan Trousdale of this city, has been discovered near Cairo, III, in the Mis- sissippi River. On account of the body being under the water for a great length of time positive identification has not yet been reached, but as stated above it is thought they are the re- mains of Mrs. Mangrum. Tine oply mode of Identification appears to be from the make of the shoes worn by the woman at the time of death. A description of the shoes and make were forwarded by detectivses of Cairo, Ill.,, to the Nashville detective department, and have been identified as the same make as some sold to Mrs Mangrum by a Nashville firm just before she left that city. Some three weeks ago the unfortunate woman, who is only 30 years of age left her home in Nashville to make a visit in St. Louis When she left she had $2.500 in money on her person and wore diamonds valued at s2,O0O. From the time she left nor thing was heard from her and her nus band began to grow uneasy !nVesu- gation was started and all police oe- partments notified to be on the lookout for her. Nothing was learned. how ever of the woman's whereabouts until the body was discovered in the river.
 long distance telephone message from the police department of Nash vile informed Mrs. Logan Trousdale, of this city, of the discovery of the body, and she left the city today at noon for Cairo, III. Mir. Mangrum, the husband of the woman, whose body 1t is thought was discovered, will meet Mrs Trousdale in the Illinois city.
 Foul play Is suspected by relatives os the deceased woman and the police de- nartments who are familiar with the facts. Every effort will be made to solve the mystery of the death in the event the body Is that of Mrs. Man 1rtIrn

' 1 The report of George c. Hale. ex- chief of the Kansas City Fire Depart ! ment and expert fire fighter, who made a close investigation of all coaditions l in fire fighting facilities in this city some weeks ago,Nhas been received. The contents of the report shows all tests
 and examinations made by Chief Hale
 while in the city and also many recom-
 mendations to be carried out fin order. in the opinion of Chief Hale, to place
 the city on a first class fire fighting
 basis
 The examinations made by Chief
 Hale while in the city are summarized
 as follows:
 A thorough survey was made of all
 streets. alleys and locations of fire hy- drants in all portions of the city. A practical test of all engine com pantes and hose companies was made
 and the average time in getting out of the stations and playing streams
 out of the, nozzle was about one min ute and forty seconds.
 There was no test made of the hook
 and ladder service, because there were
 only three men to operate the truck,
 while in other cities of much less pop
 ulation this apparatus Is manned with not less than ten men, and as 1t required more than three men to raise the ladder. the test was not under taken.
 From tests made of the water pressure Chief Halt assures the city officials that it would be hard to find another city of the class of Birming-
 ham in the United States that would be able to make such a creditable show I ing delivering water through its How | line with so. small loss by friction. l Tn my judgment states Chief Hale l in his report, .the water system or your city Is well planned. as I find you are provided with two separate sources | of supply"
 The city has only s2s fire hydrsnts | to cover an area of 6i3 square miles
 of territory within the city limits or 4,O32 acres.
 A water gauge attached to fire ny drants in the mercantile section of Ithe city showed & pressure or eighty five pounds to the square inch. AL Quinlan avenue and Twenty-first street the pressure showed forty-five pounds At Sixteenth avenue and Twentieth street, pressure showed ten pounds, and etc.
 The two pumping stations, North Birmingham and Cahaba, were care fully examined and found to contain suffiicent equipment to fight all fires which might break out in the city minute detail of the operation or these stations is furnished the report as. is also a resume of the reservoir at the Cahaba river
