Father Healy preached on "The Destiny of Man" 1t is expected that the mission will be the most successful one ever conducted in the Catholic Church in this part fthe country.

WAITING ON CONFER
BIRMINGHAM POLITICIANS ARE ON
 QUI WYE.
The Governor Will Probably Name Members of Police Commission To- day and Lid VIII Go On
 Immediately.

Birmingham, March 10-(Special.)-- Birmingham people are on the qul viVe and are anxiously waiting for the nor row, when it is expected that GoVerhor Conner will announce his appointments as Police Commissioners for the DE city.
 The law which was adopted by the Legislature last week and duly signed by the Governor, provides Tor a Police Commission of three, or which the Mayor of the city shall be one and the Chairman.
 The other two Commissioners will be elected by the people in the first city election, one for two years and one TOT four years. The Governor will appoint the two Commissioners to serve unth the election in May. The Mayor of the city, who worked to have the old Com mission abolished, and is pleased with the new law, states that he has. made no recommendation as to whom the Governor shall appoint, hence the citi- zens are anxiously awaiting Monday when the appointment will probably be announced.
 Several names are being mentioned, among them F. NJ. Jackson, w. H. Kettig, A. w. Nelson, B. F. Moore, Hal Copeland and others. Messrs Jackson and Nelson have stated that they do not aspire to the position of Police Commissioners, nor would they accept the same if they were appointed.
 The understanding here is that as soon as the new Commission is form ed and organized, that a number of changes will be made in the police de- partment Many of the patrolmen are shaking" as to their fate. There is no doubt but that a number of men will be dropped. Another thing understood is that general round up of the city will be made and strict enforcement of the laws will be attempted.
 Gamblers will be given especial at- tention. The vagrant will have to hunt another section of the country to abide in. The liquor men will have to walk the chalk line. The loafer, the street hanger-on and the peanut politician, will find the road rocky to travel on.
 No intimation Is given as yet as to the personnel of the Police Commission, but that the men will be in full ac- cord with Mayor Ward can hardly be doubted. No question has come up in quite a while in Birmingham which appears to be as interesting as has this one.

Dick Wray's Trial.

Another effort will be made this week in the criminal court to have a trial of the case against Richard Wray, charged with the murder of George Freeman, a portriat artist. Freeman was shot about a year and a half ago in a bawdy house on South side. wray, Freeman, Harry Mat thews, the baseball player. and two women were having night of carous- ing when a shot was fired and Freeman fell to the floor and died in a short while, a bullet entering his back. Wray was arrested afterwards, and despite three efforts to get bail, each time he was denied, and has had to remain in jail all the time. Twice the trial was called up, and because of the absence of witnesses, or for other reasons, post ponement was taken.
 There appears to be no doubt but that the trial will be entered into this week. Solicitor Hefin will prosecute assisted by his assistant, B. M. Allen; Gaston and Pettus will defend Wray. Relatives of Wray, who are prominent in East Tennessee, will be here to attend the trial Wray was in the saloon busi- ness at the time of the shooting He has a large circle of acquaintances and the indications are that the court room will be crowded when the case is called and goes to trial Freeman was man of family. Wray has a wife.

On account of the wonderful sale which Coca-Cola has throughout the country, much has been said concern ing this delightful beverage, regarding its properties, healthful and otherwise. Some ardent temperance people have even gone so far as to claim that this soda fountain beverage contained alco- hoL These comments in some locali- ties were of such a nature thaG a few of the city health boards, and in one or two instances, the state board, and even some newspapers have taken it up. It Is gratifying to know that this great southern drink has been able to show a clean bill of health wherever 1t has been investigated.
 Recently, the New Orleans Picayune had Coca-Cola analysed and after learning the result of the analyses, they published two-column article en- dorsing the healthful proerties of this famous soda fountain drink.

 This syrup contains the alkaloid caf- fein in the proportion of one and six per fluid ounce.
