MATTHEWS HOLDS
SERVICES TONIGHT
Mission Work Which Begins Toniqht
at St. Mary's Will Continue
Nine Days.

The first service of the mission to be
conducted by the Rev. John r. Matthews,
M. A., of Philadelphia, will be held at st.
Marys-on-the-H Highlands tonight at 5
o'clock. These services will continue for
nine days at D. m. and p. m.
The afternoons will be devoted to lee
lures on the Bible, which, it is said will
be especially interesting and helpful to
Sunday school workers and Bible stu
dents. Mr.. Matthews IS an Englishman.
He received his education at Alexandra,
Va, and later at Oxford, where he took
his masters degree. For several years he
was engaged In evangelical work among
the poor of London. There he became a
friend of the late Dwight Moody, who
valued his services so highly that he
urged him to assist in the Bible school
which the great evangelist established in
Chicago.
Mr.. Matthews is one of the most noted
evangelists and Bible teachers in the
Episcopal church, and the community at
large, as we'll as the congregation at st.
Marys, are deemed very fortunate in hav-
ing the privilege of his services. The pub
lie has been cordially invited to attend the
mission.

BULLET is FIRED
THROUGH WINDOW
Ladies' In Cable Co. Store Frightened
as Result of Accident In Saloon
Across Street.

Two ladies who were In the Cable Piano
company's store at 1916 Second avenue
were badly frightened yesterday afternoon
by bullet which broke the doors in the
front OF the store and fell near them.
The bullet was discharged from pistol
in the hands of the negro porter of the
saloon across Second avenue from the
Gable store. and 1t not only went through
the ornamental front OF the saloon but
through the plate glass in the door OF
the plano store.
The ladies were talking to Manager j.
E. Shelby at the time of the accident. Mr..
Shelby has the bullet. An investigation
was made by Deputy Sheriff Cowan, and
he states that to all appearances the
shot was an accident, caused by the pistol
falling from the Negroes hand as he was
about to place it in a drawer.

Mrs. II. Wiseman of Dawson Alaska,
who is intensely interested in the work
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruel
ty to Animals, is spending a few days in
Birmingham, and is stopping at the Hill
man.
You will be surprised to know said
| Mrs. Wiseman yesterday, that in the
three months l have been in Texas, Louis
lana and Alabama l have seen more
cruelty to animals than l saw during
five years residence in Alaska.

sympathy by the general public than any

here in Birmingham Mr.. Bonnie as hui
name officer to look after the cruelty to
animals of this great city of Birmingham.
Mr.. Bonnie is conscientious in his work,
but it is too much to expect one man to
do. The public seems to take too little
interest in the subject. The wealthy
people of the city should see to it that
society of such commendable purpose
does not lack for funds to carry on its
work.

NURSES BY THE HOUR.
New Idea in New York That Is Said
to Work Well.

Some Of the up-to-date trained
nurses of New York have adopted a
new idea. AS general thing, all
trained nurses charge for their serv.
ices by the week. They are supposed
to remain in the home of their pa.
tient and be on duty practically every
hour during their stay. This is ex.
hausting work, and frequently a
nurse is in state of collapse after a
week or two or constant attention to
a nervous patient
Well-to-do families can afford to
pay for the nurses services by the
week, but in a poorer family trained
nurse is luxury that makes a deep
hole in the bread-winner's wages. In
order to relieve themselves of the
strain on their vitality and to put
their services within the reach of
limited pocketbooks, the modern
young nurse now charges by the
hour. In some cases a patient needs
the attention of nurse only an
hour or two daily. For such atten-
tion one dollar an hour is charged.
Where constant service is wanted the
regular weekly charge is made.

KITTENS WITH GREEN HAIR.
Baltimore Woman Proud Owner Of
Litter Of Freaks.

1t may all sound like a fairy tale or
an echo of the nature faker discus
sions, but the fact is that Mrs. Rachel
Carter Of 1884 McHenry street, Balti-
more, is the proud possessor of five
eight-day-old green kittens, not yellow,
nor brown, nor tortoise shell-these
kittens are really green, of such a
shade as the inside of half-ripe can
taloupe or the plumage of many
canary birds when, instead of yellow,
their coats take on delicate tint of
green.
That the cats are purely freak of
nature seems certain, as the mother
of the litter of five kittens is coal
black, and there is nothing apparently
in the environment to account scien.
tifically for the variation from type.
The kittens have black hair on their
backs, extending down the sides. while
underneath the green hair begins to
extend over the whole under surface,
exactly as many animals possess white
hair shading from a coat of black

II the Camorra is doomed to disappear,
it will die a hard death and not without a
great struggle. In fact. although the
chiefs of the Camorra have practically all
been arrested, the criminal organization
exists still. as was shown the other day
during the tramway strike in Naples when
the whole garrison had to be called out in
order to quell a street riot which, owing to
the active participation of the leaderless
Camorristi, almost developed into a evolu-
ton.
The origin of the Camorra is said to be
Spanish. and the camorristi Of to-day are
supposed to be the descendants Of a special
class Of Spanish brigands known as gamurri.
from gamurra. a short coat or pea jacket
which they wore. These gamurri were
ordinary highway robbers. but they were
banded together under a sort of military rule.
they had special avs and customs and, like
