General Items.

An exciting game of baseball was played this afternoon at the Fourth Avenue park between the Eagles and Beavers. The game was one of the best of the season, but there was enough wrangling indulged in to satisfy even a Billy Smith. A great deal of friendly rivalry exists between the two teams, and every piece of ground was Stoutly contested. The final score resulted in to in favor of the Beavers. Evidently Umpire Eidge did not have his weather eye with him, or else the hard rain just previous to the game caused him to feel blue The pitching and field ing of Randle for the Beavers was the bright particular feature of the game, and the youngster let the other side down without a run.

Bessemer, May 28.--(special )-The nov ing picture craze has struck Bessemer with full force, and another show house is now under course of construction.
 These places afford much real amuse- ment and pleasure, particularly in the summer time, when one can for the small sum of cents be entertained for half an hour. The one that is now being built will be situated on Nineteenth street, be- tween Second and Third avenues, in the location formerly occupied by Benton Bros. No expense is being spared in It's construction, and when completed 1t will be one of the finest in the city.

THE NORTH STAR

It's lined with granulated cork which transmits fewer heat units than other material known to science, and which does not pack. shift or break down like charcoal or mineral wood. Hence the preservative efficiency of the NORTH STAR is practically indes- tructible, no matter how roughly the refrigerator may be handled. Its inte- rior construction is upon the most ap- proved and tested hygenic principles, the detachable parts are easily remov- ed and it's general appearance is pleas ing to the most artistic eye.
 But the NORTH STAR talks better for itself-driyes it's twenty odd points of superiority into the core of your convictions. Come in and see it. Not a word about buying unless you say if ,"

Strong Man Stops Auto.
the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 There Is a new Harcules in town, and he performI a brand new herculean stunt that is really a thriller Herr George Lettle, five feet six inches In height, and weighing 1S5 pounds, is the new strong-armed artist, and his speciality is stopping automobiles with thirty-five- horse power turned on to run fifty miles an hour.
 Herr Lettle, who is a Bavarian, came to New York only short time ago, and gave the first public exhibition of his prowess yesterday. He is of slim phy- sique, and not even the professional eye of Bernard Macfadden would pick him out of crowd as a professional strong man. But he made good. The exhibition was to take place at Broadway and Forty-third street, and in the selection of that busy spot was demonstrated the lit- tie Germans good judgment in his choos- ing of a press agent.
 However, with the gathering of group of reporters and camera men, the patrolman on that beat saw for himself some extra work in keeping the crowd back, and threatened to pinch the strong man if the latter did not go elsewhere. Herr Lettle looked frightened, and his hands shook as if frightened. So the test was adjourned to Forty-third street. near Eighth avenue.
 A big red touring car was used. Her- Lettle waited until the rear wheels reached him. and then. putting his right arm between two of the spokes, braced his feet against the asphalt pavement and pulled back while the machine tried to go full speed ahead. The shauffeur put on all of the thirty-fve-horse power, the wheels went around, but the body of the car remained stationary. After two such tests Herr Lettle amused himself by lifting the back part of the two thou sand pound muchaine clear off the ground.

HEALTH REPORT
 MADE FOR APRIL
WARM MILK IS STILL BEING DE- LlVERED BY MANY DAlRYMEN, / AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD IN. SYST ON HAVlNeslT COOL.

The city health report for the month of April was sumbltted to the Mayor yesterday by Dr. Hardness, city health officer. The report shows that about 25 per cent of the total deaths were from violent causes. This number includes non-residents who have been brought to the city. The percentage of violent deaths is no greater than usual
 The report states that the outlook in regard to the milk supply is improving. As required by the city regulations, many dairymen are delivering their milk cold, but there are still some who do not cool the milk sufficiently. and, unless public opinion demands It. the authorities will have difficulty in compelling the milk men to regard the regulations.
 The report is as follows:
 Birmingham. May 22, 1907. To the Hon. Mayor and Board of Alder
 men, City.
 Gentlemen:-I beg to hand you my re- port for the month of April, 1907. The showing for the month compares very favorably with same period of last year. This is especially true as regards the death rate. During April of last year, there were seventeen deaths from cere- pFo-splnal menlnBltlS, ana one death from diptheria, while during the past month no death has occurred from either of the above diseases. The total death rate Is very much lower than for April, 1906. As usual the death rate from violence runs high, amounting to over 20 per cent of the total rate for the past month.
 In regard to the milk supply, it may be said that the outlook Is improving. Quite a number of the dairymen are de- livering their milk cold as required by our regulations. The bacterial count of such milk is uniformally satisfactory. On the other hand, there are a number of milk men who do not cool their milk. As has been pointed out time and time again this milk which is not cooled after being secured from the COW, is little better than sewage when delivered to the cus- toner several hours late. The authori- ties will have a hard time forcing milk men to cool their milk, unless public opinion demands it. Everyone is again requested to see that milk is cold when delivered. It should not be above 50 de- grees Fahrenheit. Report any breach of the regulation to the milk department and help to secure supply of first class milk for our city

From the former tracts he has oats
