William Jennings Bryan has promised
to come to Birmingham during the State
fair and Home Coming week if it can pos
sibly be arranged.
John L. Parker, chairman of the local
Bryan committee, returned yesterday from
New York. where he attended the Bryan
reception, and last night stated that Mr..
Bryan had expressed a great desire to
come to Birmingham in October.
In speaking of the matter Mr.. Parker
said:
I'VE had two audiences with Mr.. Bryan,
one of which was in the nature of an
informal reception at his hotel A large
committee of Alabama people We're pres
ent and Mr.. Bryan assured us that, God
willing, he would come to Alabama in Oc-
tober. He wanted to arrange all his
southern engagements so that he would
not have to make but one trip, and told
us that he would try to make the ar
rangements soon and let us know exactly
when he could be here.

United Mine Workers OF America.
Miscellaneous trades.
Merchants floats.
Most of the unions were out with full
ranks, and in many respects the parade
was more picturesque and attractive than
any seen here on a similar occasion
Floats were more numerous and better
illustrative of Birmingham's Industries
than last year. Especially worthy of men,
ton were these floats The telegraphers,
the machinsts and the blacksmiths. The
machinists had fitted up workshop, with
engine, lathe and electric appliances. This
float was designed by Business Agent
Drake of the Machinists' union Among
the best dressed bodies In line from the
craft point of view were the Painters and
Decorators union and the Paper Hangers
union.
The electric workers made singularly
fine appearance.
The plumbers wore plain clothes, but
they excited most favorable comment on
account of the scrupulous care with which
they observed the regulation. Every man
wore a new derby hat and a new suit
consisting of black sack coat and dark
gray trousers. The theatrical employees
made a striking impression. They rode in
carriages, and the horses were decorated
with blue silken banners, emblazened with
an artistic design.
The negro unions at the end of the pro-
cesson made highly credltable appear
ance.
The committee appointed 10 award
prizes made the following report:
Birmingham. Ala, September 8, 1906.

C. P. NELL MAKES A
THOUGHTFUL ADDRESS
The History of Labor Organizations Is
ketched-Interestin Observations
On Manual ToiI--Labor Day.

A concourse of working men attended
the exercises in the Casino and listened
with close attention to thoughtful' and
instructive address by c. P. Neill United
States commissioner of labor.
Mr.. Neill spoke in part as follows:
Mr. Neill's Address.
1.-THE modern organized labor move
ment is of comparatively recent birth.
Its history goes back scarcely more than
a century. So recent indeed are its be-
gnnings that there are men still living
whose fathers saw these beginnings and
took part in the struggle that marked
them.
"In the history of social progress "a
century is indeed very short period,
but within this period the labor move
ment has grown from a small and de-
spised movement to one of worldwide
consequence And within the nineteenth
century alone 1t has wrought social
changes the equal of which has rarely
been witnessed in any previous single
century. II we ask any one at all IA
miliar with the movement what some of
it principle results have been, the re-
ply would usually be that 1t had won a
shorter workday and Increased the wages
of the toiler; that 1t has rescued him
from payment in truck and many SINH
lar abuses that 1t had introduced the
principle of collective bargaining. and had

why did we come here%
'And now that the whole community of
ugly, skulking beasts began to describe great
circle about lis, Bliss found his voice and ex-
claimed:

the northern coast; that they made dens in
the woods near by, and slept in them during
the night, prowliag along the beaches and

closed their food supply, and the reindeer
had betaken themselves to those districts
of the island where the snow was not SO
deep.
"Some of the dogs had evidently perishcd

living ones could scarcely walk, and they
shambled about the outskirts of the attack

while the full horror Of the situation was
passing through our minds, the pack was grow
ing bolder, and two or three brutes came d.
rectly toward US.
Let us try them first with shot I said.

"For our shot was scarce. While I was
speaking, one fellow sidled up toward us, but
just as | covered his head he wheeled away
in circle, his tail between his legs He soon
returned, however, and the serond time was
more daring. AS. he gathered himself to
spring, [ fired, and he rolled over and writhed
upon the snow.
'"The report of my gun struck terror into
the pack, and we retreated rapidly toward the
gorge.
'In minute, however, hunger overcame
the fear of the brutes, and couple of score of
the famishing creatures fell to feastiug upon
their fallen comrade.
eve had barely reached the mouth of The
gorge when the whole pack, yelping and snar
ling, was again close at our heels.
'ifheir movements were less shy than at
first, and they began to glare squarely at us
with their red, hungry eyes
Nevertheless. they were afraid to make
direct assault, but circled and turned, au-
preached and retreated, all the while snarlinp
and showing their fangs.

safety lay in reaching the broad, slippery
sheet Of ice and outdistancing the blunt-nailed
pack with our skates.

ings, which continued for about minute,
when they stopped. 1t makes me shudder
now, as l think of the chorus.
But though the concerted crying ceased, de-
sultory sounds were kept up by fewer throats,
and sometimes the noise came from only one
OF the mysterious creatures.
THE noise sounded somewhat like the
mourniul howl of dog when people say, ne
somewhat resembled the yelping bark of a
wolf.
II cannot say how long we sat np listening
to 1t. all, before We arranged to divide the
remainder OF the night into watches: may
say, that the terrifying sounds continued all
night, and we arose before the sun was up,
thanking. God for the daylight.
we then plucked pair OF willow grouse
which we had killed on the way, and roasted
them, and after they were cooked, we made
a hearty meal in spite of the nights terror.
We then put our camping outfit together,
and set out for the coast, taking with us only
our guns and skates.
eve were all the while thinking of the
uncanny noises of the night.
no deer could find food in this valley, yet we
thought that it might become more bare as we
drew nearer to the sea. Moreover, we were
consumed with curiosity to discover something
of the creatures with the doleful cry.
"The valley narrowed as it neared the
beach; the gorge became choked with snow.
Far under the snow we could hear the sullen
thunder of the water as it was voleyed down
through the narrow sluice way. After taking
a score of PAGES around the narrowest part
of the gorge we found ourselves fronting the
sea.
"But instead of blue, open sea, an un-
limited stretch of ocean ice met our eyes.
The ocean-made ice cubes were laid along
the shore, and there was no water to be seen
anywhere.
'But the dismal waste of ice and the block
AIDED shore did not hold our attention long,
for there before us, all along the shore, we
saw many scores of skullling animals, quest
ing eagerly wherever portion of the beach
was bare
What are they?' was the exclamation that
broke from both of us at once.

neared the animals the breaking of the snow.

to us. With the swiftness of an electric
shock the information spread among all the
rest.

did not even look at us.

Had we plenty of shot, we should have
held our ground; but we had only few
charges left; We had plenty of bullets; but
our smooth-bores were not to be trusted with
bullets when dealing with the wheeling nim-

''The next shot was fired by Bliss at huge
dog-lndeed he resembled wolf more than a
dog,,and the audacious scavenger went roll
ing down the gorge.
I'VE were by this time pretty well con-
ylnced that, the impression was correct that
these wild dogs were nearly half wolf.
While the pack was engaged with the
quarry quar- we made good quarter Of mile;
Il fired at an old fellow that was coming
straight for me; but my shot only wounued
hlm and he ran back bowling among his COM
panions.
while I was loading, another one, grown
delirious with the taste of blood, eircled
around us, turned and sprang at Bliss.
-. My heart leaped into my throat. But
Bliss was prepared, and, swerving suddenly

Then we started at mad run along the
sloplIng side OF the gulch, leaving the whole
pandemonlum yelping and quarreling over
the last victim.
several OF our four-tooted enemies how
ever, did not wait long at the feast, but start

the top of the upland About five hundred

blue ice.
Although our foes were pretty close to ia

Bliss would cover one of our pursuers. But

the savage mongrels lay bleeding upon the
snow.

NagGgGI from the wild dogs on the New

We had all heard vaguely OF the
adventure
"Well, he said, II suppose the shorter 1
make it the better"
And he began:
Bliss and myself, toward the last of eb-
ruary, fitted out for deer hunt in the north
OF the island. The winter had been unusually
severe, and we knew that the game was
obliged to keep low down in the sheltered
valleys.
After many days travel along the settled
part OF the northeast coast, we came to what
was regarded as good shooting ground. But
the snow was spread everywhere like a
shToud, and We saw nothing save some stray
willow grouse, flying over the ghostly plains,
and the tracks of few wolves.
Leaving a small settlement, we took a
tramp OF about twenty miles over the open
plains. Of course we went upon snow shoes.
We then changed our course, as we had been
directed to do, and made for large river
than ran through wide and extensive basin.
:. The ice upon this river was hard and
slippery, and blue like steel. There was no
snow snow upon 1T and as we had brought our
skates IN our packs, we were soon skimming
speed.
=, The river led to an uninhabited part of
tne codst, ana as the valley at its mouth
was well sheltered, We had hopes of getting
some deer there.
Although our packs were heavy, we ac-
comphshed our second twenty miles of travel
without being, greatly fatigued
We selected spot in the heart of a pine
forest, about a quarter of mile iron, the
sea, and began to prepare for the night. We
were IN the very centre of the valley where
we had expected to find reindeer, but the low
land was covered as deeply with snow as the
high ground, and a deer could not find here
either browse or lichen.
About midnight l arose to put more lops
on the fire, and after completing the task. goT
into my nest of fur-boughs and rolled mvself
up in my blanket. The night was perfectIy
still, and | could hear no sound save The
booming of the great sparks from our fire.
but as L was falling asleep strange cry
came to my. ears from the direction of The
sea. / raised my head and listened. and the
sound was repeated. Then there arose many
such cries, and they seemed to come from
different points along the coast.
"'Wake up, Bliss!' said, and shook the
sleeper. ''N
''He raised himself upon his elbows.

blinking eyes.

BOYS OF KAMEHAMEHA MANUAL
THE STORAGE OF SORGHUM.

A large, new, up-to-date silo has just
been completed at the Kamehameha
Manual This is the first silo, so far
las is known to be built in the islands.
| 1t is modern in every respect and was
built by the boys of the school under
the supervision of Professor Fred G.
Krauss who has charge of the agricul-
tural department at the school.
The silo is TO be used for the storage
of sorghum cane. If the experiments
to be conducted by the builders of the
silo prove successful it will work a
revolution in the disposal of sugar cane
tops which are burned at present. The
silo is air-tight and it is hoped that
cane tops can be kept there and used
during the summer for fodder. Wheth-
er the weather conditions here will al
low such methods to be employed is
not known as yet.
The boys are at present filling the
stlo with the sorghum. An inclined
plane has been built so that the ma
terial can be put i'm from the top of the
structure, and the work Of filing it is
progressing rapidly.
