Climax Is Reached.

The climax was reached when w. r. Pinckard advised the pastors to go to their congregations and preach love and good will, and keep out of politics, as a man in the gallery yelled.
 The meeting was called, it will be re- membered by the friends of the Mayor, after the ministers waited on him Monday morning, and, according to witnesses, de- clared that they would kill him politically Circulars were distributed before the Hip podrome last night stating that such was not the sentiment of the union. signed by the president, A.

At the Cayety.

The old-fashioned clap-trap and slap stick horseplay style of burlesque is now a thing of the past, and managers find that in order to succeed they must offer the public an entertainment along iegiti- mate lines, and among the managers who were among the first to recognize this fact was Mir. Charles H. Waldron, man. ager of the Palace theatre, Boston, who this season will be sole owner and direct the fortunes of the Trocadero Bur lesquers. This company for seven years mas ranked with the best on the road and judging from the equipment which Manager Waldron has given it this sea- son, it will equal, if it does not surpass, all other organizations on the road in the burlesque field. His bill should delight all who visit the Gayety this week and it should keep the house filled at every per formance. There will be the usual daily matinees.

In response to the call of a meeting of the friends of Mayor George B. Ward several thousands crowded the Hippo drome last night and listened to addresses by prominent citizens of Birmingham. The. meeting was one long ovation for Mayor Ward, not only in his position with reference to the Pastors union but with the other positions he has taken on municipal questions recently.
 The feature of the gathering was the movement started by Walker Percy to clear out the Board of Aldermen. "There are men there" he declared that I would not trust behind my back with d red-hot stove''

Dickinson Makes Statement.

AS president of the Pastors confer ence I attended tonights meeting and asked to make a statement in their be- half which was refused. If that state ment had been made the audience would have seen that the occasion for the calling of the meeting was entirely unfounded on any fact and that the pastors did not say to MT. Ward on the occasion com- plained about identically what was said tonight and that the pastors were con demned as well as the aldermen un- heard. Such questions as the one now before the people-cal it politics or what you please-preachers will always take the side of religion and morals and speak what the Bible says about 1t to the peo- pie, regretting that such messages should so disconcert the distinguished represent atives Of our corporate interests
 When the attention Of Colonel Bush was called to this statement last night he said:
 There was evidently a misunder- standing on my part l understood Dr. Dickinson simply to say to me that he was present to represent the Pastors union. certainly did not understand that he wished to speak, for as far as am concerned I would have been glad to accord him the privilege"

Bush Calls Meeting To Order.

Bush Calls Meeting To Order.
 When everything was ready Col. T. C.. Bush, chairman of the meeting, mounted the stand and called the crowd to order
 Fellow citizens, in addressing you to- night I am not here to talk for prohibit tion or against prohibition. I propose to address the thinking men of Birmingham.
 'As I understand it, the object of the meeting here is to lend indorsement to our city administration. This is not. assume, brought by recent occurrences. but by other questions which have come up in our municipal affairs.
 T understand that our Mayor was elected on a platform on an issue of whether the saloon should run the city. |. or the municipality run the saloon.
 Well, as far as I know, the Mayor did all in his power to enforce and to se- cure the enactment of laws to carry out his pledge. Unfortunately, by a provision in our city charter, a number of our aldermen hold over and did not have to go into that election and were not willing to heed the voice of the people and carry out their wishes.
 Now, I could easily show just the thing which brought about this prohbi- ton election. If the Council had sus- tained the Mayor on the platform on which he was elected, we would not have this unpleasant contest today
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-10-23


 I'm not here to discuss the merits of this question, but to acknowledge the right of any man to his own convictions. I question no mans motives. I know that there are some who are advocating pro- hbition without considerations reasons as well as -prohibitionists. but we to do what Is constitutionally right in his opinion.
 q opposed the calling of a special ses- sion of the legislature. not for any per sonal grievance against the governor, who is my neighbor. but on the higher ground of not allowing the governor of any state or any man to attempt to break down the constitutional barrier of right of ap- peal to the courts. Any other course would be a sham and farce Now, l want 10 assure the mayor that do indorse the conscientious manner in which he has decided the question at is- sue. As far his present stand is con- cerned, I regard it as perfectly consist ent.
 You remember that the governor re- fused to include prohibition in his special call for the legislature because it was not an issue in the campaign in which he was elected.

The only hotel in the town. frame

upon the theory that there was plenty

had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to a room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window it was a straight drop to the

PUT RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
Stern Laws Of Business Come First,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law, which
centered on the observance Of an old
Jewish custom, was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant, says the Ameri-
can Israelite, discharged clerk on ac-
count of neglect of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna-
gogue in order to say Kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father.
The clerk argued that it was his privi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father, while the mer-
chant, who was also a religious man,
maintained that IF Moses had known
that man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ
ent laws" The judge would not allow
such an argument, but decided in ia
vor Of the merchant, because the
daily attendance at the synagogue
could not be considered the right of
the clerk without the consent OF the
employer"
