of the handsomest trophies in the coul-
try. This carries with it threecash prizes
Of total Of $500. All the matches carry
cash prizes, and the aggregate cash

Birmingham Bars
The Bucket Shop.

Since the arrest of young Chlsolm
for embezzling 100000 of the funds
OF the First National Bank of Biz
mingham public sentiment In that
city has demanded that immediate
action be taken looking to the
abolishing Of bucket shops. In
response to this demand the Bir-
@angham city council has passed on
ordinance making dt unlawful for
bucket shops to operate In that city
after October l next. The AgetHer-
aid tells the story briefly and sue
cieutly In the following:
Birmingham is to be rid of bucket
shops after the first Of October next
"A most wholesome radiance. indeed!
The City Council has acted unanL
mously. AT It's meeting last night an
ordinance introduced by Alderman
Henry B. Gray making 1t unlawful for
any person or association to ma'n-
tain or operate a place of business in
the city of Birmingham for the pur-
pose of dealing in grain or cotton fu-
lures or stocks on margins was put

public sentiment demanded prompt &C

OF the ordinance are drastic and eva
sion of the law will be impossible.
Cotton and stock gambling has lon
been curse to the south. Here in
Birmingham the traffic in this species
OF gambling has increased rapidly,
and its demoralNing effect on fegiti-
mate business has been seriously felt.
Through bucket shops hundreds Of
thousands of dollars of local money
have been taken out of commercial
channels every year, and many a men
has been wrecked financially and
morally.
The recent 100000 defalcation of a
young bank teller, caused by his
losses IN cotton and stocks, stirred

How to Keep Cool
in Summer Time.

The question of how to keep cool
in the good old summer time is es-
pecsally fascinating just now, when
old Sol seems to be working over
time to keep UP the temperature. or
course, in Florida there is no such
thing as great suffering from the
heat, but occasionally the themOme-
ter takes a climb to heights that
make one yearn for winter. The fol-
lowing suggestions for keeping cool
are made by The Jacksonville Me-
tropolis:
One man says that II you Will put
5 b piece Of door mating on your mat
tress and sleep on the mating you
will have no trouble. In this way a
certain amount of ventilation passes
between the body and the mattress
and 1t is the lack of ventilation that
causes one TO be restless on a warm
might" The recommendation Is &C.
companied by the assurance that the
person who makes II has followed it
for many years with the most crafty
ing results.
Another practical student of the
subject grows enthusiastic over a
scheme which he celebrates as cheap
simple and effective" This is to
. sleep completely undressed with no
covering but wet sheet. "The pei
son doing that feels at once as IL he
were In a cool garden. The faintest
draught of air Is felt like a refreshing
breeze, and sound sleep comes In a
few minutes, to last until morning ~
There Is, says our authority, no dsr-
ger of catching cold. because the
sheet becomes dry before the cool
morning air begins to blow, and he
adds as proof of the value of the
method that it Is often used to reduce
the temperature Of the blood in fever
patients
A third plan that has been sug-
gested Is that of taking a dip in cold
water just before retiring and of
putting on the night clothes anme-
diately without first using the towel
This. also, 1t Is asserted, VIII result
in a delicious GOODNESS, and the mois-
ture will cause no dsagreeable SEN
eations.
People who make themselves un-
comfortable by thinking about the
heat might experiment with the vari-
GUS plans and adopt the one that
seems to be the most promising. But
a calm and placid mind will assist the
refrigerating process.

While several elements enter into
the efficiency OF a warship, fts tom
mage gives a better conception or It's
fighting strength than any other sim

vessel depends somewhat ON its speed
somewhat ON the thickness OF its
armor and somewhat ON the weight OF
metal 1t can fire from its gums.
Allthese are receivable into weight, for
speed requires heavy engines, defen.

BOYS UNUSUAL CRIME.
Strikes Another Fad With Brick, Then
 Buries Him Alive.

Duries Him Alive.
 Chicago, Sept. 2.-Robert Gordon, sixteen years old, confessed to-day that he struck Joseph Reed, eight years old, with a brick, stunning him, and then buried him alive beneath 8 sidewalk in front of his fathers home. The boys S body was found where Gordon said he had been buried, and Gordon was ar- rested.
 The absence of the Reed boy was mo- ticed about 8 o'clock Saturday after noon and search was made. Gordon led the elder Reed through the neighrbor- hood for several hours, and about 10 o'clock last night took him to where the boy was buried and assisted in dig ging up the body. When taken to a po- lice station Gordon confessed that he enticed the boy to the basement of the Reed home and maltreated him. When Reed attempted to escape, Gordon struck him on the head with brick. He then buried him alive under the sidewalk.
 Five other boys, ranging in ages from fourteen to twenty years, who had been drinking with Gordon before the crime became known, are held by the police. The Reed and Gordon families live near one another, and have been friends TOT several years.

 Reyes Denial.
 Monterey, Mexico, Sept. 2.--An article was recently published in an American periodical to which Mexicans have talk en exception The article in purport charges that no Mexican visits the United States without being thoroughly imbued with the idea that the Ameri- can government Is desirous of invading Mexico and that the internal feeling in Mexico is such that a revolution is likely to result in the near future coup ling the name of General Reyes, there with. The article has inspired Reyes to issue an emphatcal denial.
 General Reyes says: Never before has peace in Mexico beenbetter assured. The government, perfectly organized, has the power and disposition, should the necessity ever by possibility arise, to crush any rebenious feeling with a hand of iron. The people themselves would rise to annihilate any person so foolish as to consider a revolutionary attempt, no matter what his position.
 T never had any dispute or griev- ances with the president as is stated by the American newspapers, when I was at the head of the army"

 New York, Sept. 2,-Escorted by the Nebraska "home folks" more than a hundred strong, William Jennings Bry- an started on the home stretch of his journey around the world in a special train of five cars which left Jersey City over the Lehigh Valley railroad at 5:SO this afternoon,
 On the way over the river in the fer ryboat, MT. Bryan smilingly said in the course of an interview:
 Speaking from a personal standpoint the receptions accorded to me were very gratifying. Speaking from polit- ioal standpoint, think that they show ed a marked change in public senti- ment along the lines of economic dues- tions, especially those questions relat- ing to the trust issues"
 Referring to the reported disagree ment of prominent democrats with his advocacy of the federal ownership of railroads, MT. Bryan said:
 q have seen it stated that prominent men have protested against the doc Urine, but until the prominent men give their names the objection cannot have any influence. I have not talked with anyone who has had any protest to make But I have discussed the mat ter, both before and after my speech with men who have agreed with me. I have talked the matter over for two years or more.

PARKER ON WALSH LETTER
PROBABLY MEANS HEARST HAS
 ANOTHER RECRUIT.
National Committeeman Has Been En- thusiastic Supporter of Hearst for a Number of Years--Question of Bryan's Subserviency to Corrupt Cor poratiOns and Boss Rule if Nominated Again.

Alexandria, Minn., Sept. 2.-Alton B. Parker arrived here Saturday from St. Paul where he had been attending the American Bar association meeting, to spend Sunday with his friend, Clyde Van Cleye. When the letter written by Charles A. Walsh to Chairman Taggert of the democratic national committee, in which Walsh rendered his resigna- tion as member of the committee, was handed to him to-day. Judge Parker read 1t carefully and asked;
 What do you think is the meaning of that letter."
 "Is it not possible to construe Walsh's meaning to be that if Bryan become the standard bearer he will be slavish- ly subserving the individual to corrupt corporations and boss ruler Judge Parker was asked.
 Well" replied Judge Parker, you might put such construction on what is said in the letter if you wished to do so, but I hardly feel that I want to dignify MT. Walsh's letter by constru- ing 1t or making formal statement. Really, at this time it hardly seems worth while"
 What about the statements he makes about Mir. Sheehan?"
 MT. Sheehan,' replied Judge Parker, 'is my partner and friend, and know that If he thinks the letter is worthy of comment or answer he is capable of rt1eo 1ripcr fn,. fro ca1f v
 "I'm out of politics, and under those conditions, all care to say Is this: It looks very much as if the Hearst independence league has won another recruit in the person of MT. Walsh. He has been an enthusiastic supporter of Hearst for a number of years and will make a valuable addition to Hearst's party. He has apparently preferred instead of giving his reason for joining the Hearst party, to assign some req son for leaving the democratic party. Whether his reason has any justifica- tion In fact or rot is of no consequence. as he has made up his mind to go."

 Another Denial That Government Ir..s
 tends to Ask American Aid.
 Havana, Sept. 2.-The hopes of those who on Saturday night tentatively sug- gested a process of nutuaI concessions for settling the rebellion were shatter- ed to-day when President Palma called General Cobrico, one of the proposed peace commissioners, to the palace to inform him that the government had no concessions to offer or accept, and no intention other than fighting the matter through and suppressing the ir- surrectfon. General Menochal, who headed the list of the proposed conn m1ssioners, sent word to the promoters of the project that he would have noth- Ing to do with it unless he could ap- proach the insurgents with a definite offer of some kind from President Fallna- The promoters, however are not entirely discouraged, and another meeting may be held later.
 The Associated Press learned today from a source ordinarily so reliaaaa as to be absolutely beyond question that l the inner circles of the government had about reached tentative landesstRr1d- ing that if the government was unasble to control the insurrection by septen1- Der 15 1t would ask for the assistance of the United States, but when this es- sertion was broached to members Of the government 1t was met with such an emphatic denial as to leave no Tooan Tor doubt that whatever the govern ment may have discussed, it has de- cided to see the thing through by ali the force of arms it can command and abide the results.
 While the publication of the peace lproject to-day caused much discussion there was Nttie evidence that it would succeed as it was conceded on all sides that the government, In the present temper of the masses, would lose any elections which might result from 1t. Besides, since the government is un- willing to relinquish the idea of cen tral governmental control of munici- Ipaities this also would be a serious stumbling block to such a settlement. l One of the main reasons why the government feels encouraged to pursue the fight to the end and by force is, as outlined to the Associated Press this evening by Font Sterling, secretary of the treasury, its abundance of money.
 We have $19,000,O00 on hand" said the secretary of the treasury Don't overlook that And we have a monthly income of $2,O0O,0OO. The August re- ceipts and custom duties were greater than ever before. We will not need to negotiate loans for some time to come at least. Yes, most of what we have has been appropriated by congress- but those appropria tions must wait. We shall use the money in putting down the rebellion"
 The number of daily enlistments is not known, as the work is carried on in so many different places, but the expectation is to have, 5000 men in the field inclusive of regulars and volan- teers.

German-American Contests Begin To
 day Off Marblenead.

Marblehead, Mass, Sept. 2.-All prep arations for the first German-American races between six yachts were conplet- ed this morning and despite an aoci- dent to one of the foreign boats, all of them were in fine condition for to- morrow's races. The weather cnditions off Marblehead Neck tonight promised good whole-sail breeze from the southwest tomorrow and clear wealth CT,
 The Germans received q scare to-day by two accidents to the Glueckauf. She was off on a sail stretching spin this afternoon when she touched one of the lodges at the entrance of the harbor MT. Wastrau, who was at the helm, headed for the yard, where the boats were hauled out. When the boats were being pulled up on the ways some of the supports of the carriage gave way and the yacht fell, puncturing a hole three inches long and an inch wide in it's underbody, Carpenters were called and a piece was inserted in the under body was again smoother down so that at dark tonight 1t was impossible to tell even by careful examination where the puncture occurred. The fin was also found to be somewhat out of place but was soon hammered into position, and tomorrow the Glueckauf will be in fine condition for her race.
 The Eastern Yacht club station was alive with yachtsmen tonight discuss ing the prospects of the races, and while nearly all were hopeful for vic- tory tomorrow, 1t was generally ad- m1tted that the Germans had an excel lent chance.
