More Fully Organized.

AT Il meeting of the Visiting Nurse
association Saturday afternoon it~was
decided to employ Miss Margaret
Giles as visiting nurse. Miss Giles is
a graduate of the Illinois Training
school, where she took four yeal
course. Since completing her course
she has had considerable experience
i'll her profession, and is entirely cap
able of performing the duties of the
position Of visiting nurse. Until the
organization of the charity is entirely
completed. Miss Giles will devote her
self to the hour work" which is to be
a feature of her service. This work
comprises attendance on patients for
a short period each day or as required
and for this the association receives q
small fee. This attendance is intend
ed to supply the demand for expert
care which is required only for a short
| time each day, and for which the pa
| tient does not feel that he can afford
| to hire a permanent nurse
Later Miss Giles will undertake the
whole work of the visiting nurse, but
| there are still some matters to be at
tended to before this can be undertaken
| by the association.

Temperance was the theme of all

nOiS local option law at the earliest
opportunity.

ALABAMA ELKS
 ARE WELCOMED
TWO HUNDRED DELEGATES FROM
 BIRMINGHAM TAKE PART IN
 THE GREAT CONVENTION OF THE ORDER IN PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Pa July ia.-fspecial)- Two hundred delegates from Birmingham, the Iron City of the South, arrived In this city today to attend the annual eenven- ton of the grand ledge, Benevolent Pro teetive Order of Eliks, They came by spe- eial train and were royalty welcomed by thousands of other Elks from the south land and by their brothers from the north, east and west.
 Montgomery, Ala, the birthplace of the Confederacy, also sent thirty Elks, all anxious to see the birthplace of the one republic which they all love. Swelling the hosts from the south came today the New Orleans delegation, which was the first to march as an organized body through the $50000 court of honor which the city has erected in honor of the great fraternal order which 1t Is entertaining this week.
 After being escorted to their hotel by a reception committee and a band playing Dixie the Alabama delegation proceeded to rock this "cradle of liberty" so vgor- ously that sleep was impossible for the occupants Tonight the southern delega- ton was strong in attendance at the open ing exercises of the convention which were held in the Grand opera house. Not only were the visitors welcomed by the mayor of the city, John B. Reyburg, but bv the governor of Pennsylvania, Edwin s. Stuart.
 In the contest to capture the Elks' re- union in 1908, the Alabama delegation Is lending It's aid to Dallas. sister south ern city. The withdrawal today of Mil Wallkee from the contest practically leaves the field to the Texas city.

ANGRY GREEK COMES
 GUT SECOND BEST
AMERICAN TRIES TO CLEAN UP BRIGHT STAR CAFE AND GRE ATES NICE BUNCH OF EXCITE MENT ON SECOND AVENUE.

Had it not been for the timely appear ance of Officer Disheroon of the local police force last night, Birmingham might have had a repetition of the performance Roanoke. Va, had in one of her Greek restaurants in the Bright Star Cafe, on Second avenue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets,
 The Bright Star Cafe is run by Greek named Chris Catharios, and It seems that an American by the name of R. Bur nett resented some remark Catharios had made about a member of his family. The result was that the two men met in a pitchad battle and in about two minutes thu Greek presented almost torsal nudity, with a few bleeding wounds about the face thrown in to make his whipping mere effective
 The Greek got decidedly the worst of the argument, as he was pretty badly beaten up, and had his shirt practically torn eff. The excitement caused by the ahrav between American and Greek was no little matter, as several other of the Americans in the restaurant at the time threatened to tear up the place.
 Policeman Dlsherroon soon put in his appearance, put the two principal dis turbers of the peace under arrest, and ouelled the other disturbance. Both of ths men arrested made bond, and the matter was ended. No other arrests were made.
