FOOD OF ACTRESS. Knew How to Get We'll.

A young lady we'll known to the thea tre-goers of the land, gives an interest ing experience. Writing from Chicago she says:
 Tn December, 1902. I was laid up with a sick spell. at the expiration I was very weak, nervous and extremely delicate, so much so that when I attempted to re- sume rehearsals such a faintness seized me that I was compelled to stop.
 My strength returned very slowly and I spent my time in lying down and wor- rying. till my mother persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts food for my breakfast. I confess I had but little hope that it would do me any good, but made up my mind to give it good, fair trail.
 q am more than glad that I did. It quickly brought back my lost strength, made my nerves strong and healthy again. and gave me increased health and weight. I always carry it with me now, as I find that some hotels do not keep it.. Grape-Nuts food has emphatically dem onstrated itself %lessing for health, strength. brain and nerves, in my case.

CHURCH ORGANIZED
 AT WEST WOODLAWN
WILL BE CALLED WEST WOOD LAWN BAPTIST CHURCH-EREC- TON OF BUILDING WILL BEGIN AT EARLY DATE.

The movement which has been on foot for several weeks looking toward the organization of new church at Wood- lawn materalized yesterday afternoon. About eighty persons interested in the movement met at the residence of D. N. Smith. lO1 Forty-ninth street, north, Woodlawn, toaconsder the possibilities of the organization of new church.
 The Rev. J. NJ. Shelburne of the East Lake Baptist church, the Rev. A Crouch of the Woodlawn Baptist church, the Rev Mir Howard of the Wauhouma Bap- tist church, the Rev. L. NJ. Bradley of the Avondale Baptist church. the Rev. MT. Veasey of the East Birmingham church, and the Rev. S. O. Y. Ray, as- sociational missionary of Birmingha all of whom were present, were appointed as a presbytery to organize the church. The Rev Mr. Shelburne was elected chairman and D. N. Smith clerk of the committee
 The new church is to be called the West Woodlawn Baptist church. A col lection for the erection of a church build- ing was taken and something over 5000 was received. With additional funds which will be secured later in the week the proper committee will, at an early date, take steps toward the erection of the building. which will be located on lot on the corner of Fifty-ninth street and the Fifth avenue road.
 As there are quite number of Bap- lists in West Woodlawn the new church will be success and great convenience to churchgoers In that section of Wood lawn.
 The territory from which the church will draw its congregation Is large. The West Woodlawn church will be situated about half way between the Avondale church and the First Baptist church of Woodlawn. It Is about one and a half miles from Woodlawn and about a mile from Avondale.
 The Rev Dr. Bradley in talking of the matter yesterday afternoon said: .'rhe people of the section from which the new church will draw are good. substan- tlal home owners, and there is no req son why the church should not build up large, spirited congregation"
 There were thirty-fve members en- rolled yesterday afternoon, and these will begin immediately to swell the mem bership of the church.
 Until the church building Is completed the meetings will be held at the residences of the various members of the church. Services will be held next Monday after noon at the residence of D. N.

Wilson Pate, a negro, with throat cut from ear to ear, was found dead in First alley, between Twenty-fifth and Twenty Sixth street, early Sunday morning.

LOWER BIDS FOR
 WEATHER BUREAU
Chief Moore Finds It Costs $8ooo More to Build Structure In Birmingham
 Than in Springfield, III.

Mayor George B. Ward yesterday re- ceiyed letter from Representative Oscar w. Underwood relative to the bids on a weather bureau building for Birmingham. He urges that lower bids be made for the building for fear that the city may fail to secure this federal building at the present time.
 The letter Is as follows:
 Washington, January 10, 1907. Hon. George B. Ward. Birmingham, Ala. Dear Sir-Some time ago the city do- mated to the government, for the purpose of building a weather bureau station, q very suitable site on Fountain Heights and the weather bureau people adver- tlsed for bids for a building to be erected on this site. MT. Moore. chief of the weather bureau service, informed me that the lowest bid that was made for tho erection of the building was N700O. He states that he has Just finished an ex- actly similar building in Springfield. H.. for S11 900, and is unwilling to build at this figure, so that if we cannot get d better bid, for the present at least, 1t will knock us out of our building l think If we could get a bid that Is one or two thousand dollars higher than the cost of the building al Springfield, I could get him to accept the same.
 The plans and specifications are with the local weather man at Birmingham, MT. Lehman, and l write to ask if you cannot interest some of our local con- tractors in the matter. and for the benefit of the city get them to put in bid some what nearer the amount the government is willing to allow for this building. 1 have also written to MT. Robert Jemison. Jr.. president of the Commercial club, in reference to the same. Yours truly,
 O. w. UNDERWOOD.

"TLIRKEY CORN' DRINKERS
 MADE HORRIBLE SUNDA y

"old Turkey Corn was the popular bey- eredge in Birmingham yesterday.
 In fact judging from the number of men found paralyzed with liquor, the of ficers are beginning to think that the vio- lators of the Sunday whisky law are be- coming more and more numerous.
 strange coincidence in connection with the wholesale arrests made was that In the majority of hip pockets examined the bottle found there was laballed "Old Tur- key Corn.'
 From midnight Saturday until midnight last night the police found twenty-one men intoxicated on the streets. As Is gen- orally the case the majority of these Sunday worshippers of Bacchus were of the Caucasian race. In fact, but two of the entire lot were black.

HARDEST PART OF WORK IS FINISHED New Union Station Will Be
 Ready By July 1 SUBWAY IS NOW DRAINED Two Wings Are Practically Completed. Hundreds of Spectators Visit
 the New Station Every
 Sunday.
SUBWAY IS NOW DRAINED

Over one-thrd of the work on the new Union passenger station has been com peted, and the remaining two-thirds Is being pushed as rapidly as possible. It is estimated that the remaining portion of the work will be completed in probably | less time than was required on the third that is completed.
 It will be remembered that there were q score of things that have delayed the work, such as several weeks of almost constant rains, the heaviest on record, which filled the Fifth avenue subway un- der the station. delay in settling damages, delay in settling with the city for certain franchises and delay in adjusting other matters
 With the weather as it Is at present the work can be pushed rapidly, It has been mild all winter. thus permitting the work to be carried on all the time.
 The two wings, one north and the other | south of the main building, have about | been completed, that Is so far as the general work is concerned. None of the | finishing work has been commenced as | yet. The contractors on the subway are progressing rapidly with their work now, and a sewer has been laid so that the subway Is completely drained and there is no further delay from water.
 Work will be commenced shortly on
 the main part of the building. and will
 be pushed rapidly. Already the work of
 putting down the necessary tracks for
 the station, arranging for the interloclxing
 plant and all details In regard to the | trackage is under way.
 | Walter Harrison, the engineer In charge of the work, says that the station will be ready for use by the first of July. the time limit set by President Smith of the Louisville and Nashville for the rall- | roads to move out of the preesnt station.
 While the station will not be nearly finished by July l, 1t will be so far com- pleted that the public can use it without | being greatly inconvenienced. There will | be an abundance of space for all the de- mands at that time. the tracks under tho shed will be laid and all tho necessary connections made from the main line oc | the railroads to the Terminal company 5 | tracks.
 The site of the new station Is being vs- | ited every Sunday by hundreds of people
 who are watching with great interest the progress of the work MT. Harrison says
 that the remainder of the work should progress much more rapidly than the first part, unless the unforeseen difficulties again arise and delay the workmen.

cated. Some of them were paralyzed. Some were picked out of gutters. Others were bodily lifted from the patrol wagon and put in the jail. Others, still, will not know where they are until several hours have gone by this morning.
 It was a drunken Sunday. From $ o'clock in the afternoon until I o'clock the wagon was kept on. continual run. Within that space of time, ten of the twenty-one prisoners were arrested. The warden of the jail stated that he had never before seen men more drunk than yesterday.
 The fine imposed on those charged with being drunk on Sunday is twice as large as for being drunk on any other day. The offense for selling whisky on Sunday Is judged great enough to bring about the revocation of the saloon disposing of the liquor.

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
syrian Priest Holds Two Services.
 Large Congregations.

Five masses were celebrated at St Paul's church yesterday, and there were two services in the afternoon. Four of the, masses were at the usual hours and were celebrated by local priests.
 At SEQ o'clock the Syrian colony of Bjr- mingham, about 200 strong, attended 4. high mass sung by the Rev. Father Yarz- blk, a Syrian priest of the Maronite rite who has been conducting a mission here for his people The liturgy used was in spoken by Christ. The priest delivered d short sermon in Arabic and afterwards made a few remarks In English for the benefit of the English speaking persons present who happened not to be familiar with Aslatic tongues.
 In the mass Dr. Elkouri of Birming- ham chanted the responses in Syro-Chal- daic In the afternoon at o'clock Father Yarzbik delivered lecture in Arabic and gave the benedicton of the blessed sacra- ment according to the Maronite rite.
 The Rev. Father Prendergast, the new assistant at St. Paul's, was the celebrant and preached at the 10:3O o'clock mass. His sermon was aimed at the Catholics who believe all the truths of their re- ligion, yet do not practice what they pro- fess. The speaker spoke in very plain language and warned his nearer that the drunkard, the person who lives an im- pure life and the person who is guilty of injustice would be shut out of Heaven Father Prendergast has fine pulpit voice and could be heard distinctly in every part of the church.
 St. Paul's Athaneum and Athletic so- ciety was organized yesterday A goodly number of Catholic boys and young men met at St. Paul's hall and adopted by- laws. The election of officers will take place later.

Other Places Spotted.

That there is gambling going on in Bir- mingham is well known. It is shown by the number of arrests that have been made recently. In fact, last year more arrests were made on charges of gambling than ever before in the history of Bir- mingham Officers Parker and Street, who have made regulations in their war fare against the gamblers, declares that while they have been kept busy, and have succeeded well, they are aware that other places are still operating. It is often difficult to make arrests and get evidence at the same time sufficiently strong to guarantee a conviction. They are de- tormlned to keep up the crusade, how ever, and their assistants, officers Ma ton and Smith, are entering with zeal into the work. In fact the arrests of the gamblers over the Peerless Saturday night was due chiefly to the efforts of Officer Smith, as was that In the Morris last night.

Twelve Men Are Captured and Roulette Wheel and Chips
 Are Con1}Cated
OFFICER SMITH IF IN
 AS IN PEERLESS RAD
Forty-one Whites Captured Saturday Night-Rumored That City Will Consider Revocation of
 Certain Licenses.

If the follower of the green cloth" pro fession does not improve, the people in Birmingham, in spite of stories to the contrary. will believe he is not very bright.
 The gamblers captured above the Peer less saloon Saturday night did not teach a lesson to others of craft. for last night another raid was made with splendid re- suits. Strange to relate, too. the capture was effected in the same way as was that above the Peerless Officer Smith knocked at the door and he was admitted. The porter mistoolI him for a gambler. The officer looked about him, gathered much testimony, and then called in his fellows. His fellows were Officers Parket, Street and Nation.
 The game was going on on the fifth floor of the Morris hotel. Twelve white men were captured. About a bushel of chips were confseated, as was bril- liantly colored roulette wheel, on which the gamblers play the red and the black, and pick number with tue odds of thirty-five to one against them.
 Officers Parker and Street last night stated that recently three successful raids have been made on the Morris, in which thirty-five men were captured.
 In addition to these white men the offl- cers arrested yesterday thirteen negroes charged with shooting craps.
 Saturdays Results.
 In all, forty-one white men were ar rested Saturday night charged with gambling
 On no previous night was such a large number of white men captured for this offense.
 The largest single white game ever raided in Birmingham was that above the Peerless saloon, wherein twenty-seven gamblers were captured and required to make bonds aggregating $2700. In addi- ton to this twenty-seven, nine were ar- rested above the Manhattan saloon and five above the Apollo pool room. The total number was forty-one. It was currently rumored about the city hall yesterday tbat some investiga- ton looking to the revocation of licenses of saloons on the premises of which gambling is found will be asked for
 The Saloons Promised.
 As is remembered, when a saloon pro- prietor makes application to the city for a license he signs an agreement whereby there shall occur on his premises no gambling, or other devices contrary to the city laws. It was rumored yesterday, though no official statement could be ob- tained, that in case the gamblers arrested Saturday night are convicted there will be an investigation as to whether or not the saloons on whose premises the games occurred are in any way responsible. On account of the successful raids Saturday night Chief Wier congratulated the officers concerned yesterday morning He issued instructions that the crusade be continued without cessation, until a gambler would never indulge in a game without having at the same time great fear in his breast
