A PUBLIC HEARING
1IRMIxGMAEsS ALDERMEN
 FACE SERIOUS CHARGE
Roth of the Accused City Father. are Anxious for aa Investigutton. To Elect New Police
 Chief.

Birmingham. Oct e.--(Special.) )-The indications point to a large crowd be- ing present when the charges against Alderman John w. ONeill and Alder man R. D. Burnett. preferred by the Mayor of the city. are taken up by the committee named on Monday after noon. It Is expected that the hearing win be open, in fact. the accused are said to favor such a course.
 Alderman ONefil Is charged with graft in connection with the bithu- lfthic paving in this city; in other words, attempting graft. Alderman Burnett Is charged with not being fit for the position of aldcrmanic honors, an attack having been made on his character. Alderman Burnett has a large number of friends in the city, and. according to his own statement. his past record has nothing to do with his present record.
 Alderman O'Neill Is anxious for an Investigation in regard to grating. There is no paving in front of his res tdence and- he has always been for competitive bids in all paving, some thing that has not been given in Bir- mingham in quite while.
 Mayor Ward has very little to say. though his friends assert that 1t is up to him to prove his charges and he expects to do 1t. There is no feeling evident in the city and the turbulent scenes of the last meeting of the Coun- ell will hardly be repeated here. The courts have been resorted to, and if decision is given in favor of Alder man John l.. Parker, as chairman, all acts of the majority since the new municipal code was adopted will be de- clared competent. Friends of Alder man O'Neill and City Attorney smith have settled the personal part of the controversy. There is no statement made in which the Lieutenant- Gov ernor is interested. he not denying that he owns stock in the paving com pany. The controversy is now be- tween the Mayor and Aldermen O'Neill and Burnett
 The courts will decide other mat ters. including tine police muddie. Sew erai other cities in the State are working under the new municipal code. Many who are on the inside do not believe there Will be much to the charges preferred by the Mayor. AL dernan O'NeflI is confident of coming out with a clear record It is not probable that damage suits will fol- low the investigation.
 The old Board of Police Commission CTS will hold a meeting Tuesday even ing when it is presumed that a. new chief of police will be elected. The present Chief. William E. wier, Is cbeying orders from the new Board of Police Commissioners. which in- ciudes the Mayor

 were variously estimated from 2.oo0 to ! $500 persons at each service. I The day was a signal one in the tri- | umph of the evangelist in this city.
 Preaching on 'Ye are the light of the the campaign for prohibition in the city at the afternoon service. and
 preaching on peace and complete unity of the church at the night ser vice. the evangelist indeed has finished ! a day of which he might well be proud.
 Rev. ". M Cox. pastor of the Dex- I ter Avenue Methodist Church at both the afternoon service and night ser vice. asked the assembled congregation to raise a sum of s1.0ee with which l the evangelist might defray the ex- penses of his stay in the city, and said that the service which the evangelist has rendered the city were well worth the amount. A
 The thoughts of the congregations were evidently in sympathy with those of Mir. Cox and the money was raised. In the morning service the text of ', l V, l4. "Ye are the light of the world . The burden of the discourse was Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father. which is in Heav- en-"
 He said that man could not live unto himself alone, but that his works and deeds always influenced someone. He urged men to live in their own little Mnrld an hat sa.. would be smuiated by other men in their little worlds.
 Ae the meeting held at 6.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the various societies of the different churches, H.
 B. Johnson was the leader. There
 were no formal talks. but q very bright
 experience meeting was held. in which
 members or the societies made q num- Der of very good talks.
 The meeting, however, was constant " being interrupted by persons com
 ing to the auditorium to secure seats for the night services, and the program was not finished.
 At the night services. Mir. Jones, took as his subject Peace" Peace on earth and good will toward men.
 He divided his subject into several heads, the first of which was peace among the churches. The evangelist advised and earnestly urged that the churches of different denominations quit fighting each other and to work for the great cause fin unison. He said that while much is accomplished by all of the church people of the city pulling together.
 He then touched briefly upon peace among neighbors. and closed his ser mon with q strong plea in the hearts of men with their God.

w Discovery is not SO good fol acute coughs arising from sudden colds, nor must it be expected to cure consumption in its advanced stages-no medicine will do that but for all the obstinate hang-on, or chronic coughs, which, if neg Ilected, or badly treated, lead up to consumption, t is the best med. icine that can be taken.
 It's an insult to your inteili- gence for a dealer to endeavor to palm of upon you some nostrum of unknoun 6ombosiffcn in place of Dr. Pierce's worid-famed medicines which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Most dealers recommend Doctor Pierce's medicines because they know what they are made of and that the ingredients employed are among the most valuable that a medicine for like purposes can be made of. The same is true of leading physicians who do not hes- itate to recommend them, since tkcy know exactly what they con- tain and that their ingredients are the very best known to medical science for the cure of the several diseases for which these medicines are recommended.
 With tricky dealers 1t is dlf. ferent.
 Something else that pays them little greater profit will be urged upon you as vjust as good. i" or even better. You can hardly afford tc accept substitute ef Hnkneuw eons- posifioss and without any particular record of cures in place of Doctor Pierce's medicines which are OF KNOWN COMPOSITION and have a record of foyty years ef enyss behind them You know what you want and it is the dealer's business to supply that want.

Al c. Field Obserues
 Minstrel Anniversary
BACK TOEARLY DAYS
MIR. FIELD ACCOUNTS FORMATION
 OF HIS BAND.
For Twenty-Five Years He Has started fhe Season at Marion, Ohio, Because There He start
 ed First Success.

Al c. Field spent thirty minutes in Marion. Ohio. last night At his am Rual banquet, held al Yung's restau- rant, the veteran minstrel became so earnest over his earlier days that his
 mind went back to the first perfor- ! nance. he forgot that he was In Mont gomery and he described, as only the
 trained actor can describe. those strug- giing days when he opened his first show in the little Ohio town. In the twenty-two years that have intervened Marion has grown to be a city that Al Field lived in the past as he told of that first performance in Marion and how eager he was to as- certain if there were enough paid tickets in the theatre to take his com
 pany to Upper Sandusky. the next place on the ioute.
 For twenty-two years Mir. Field has opened his season in Marion, the town that gave him his start as an owner of minstrel show.
 T was getting $75 week." said MT.
 Field, when the ambition came to me of my friends. but one, and members of my family discouraged me in the venture This one friend was a pawn
 broker who. l later learned. expected that he would get the parpahernalia in a few weeks I've been going twenty-two years and he hasn't got- ten it yet. Every bill has been paid and the people who have worked for me have gotten their money on time. I have kept every obiigation.e
 Mir. Field told his guests and the tlsfrty-five or forty young men who are in his employ. that his company open ed at Marion, Ohio. twenty-two years, ago on October 6. The business was not good. From there the company went to Upper Sandusky. The busi- ness was not good there. Bucyrus was the next stand. there less than $10a was paid into the box office. Ashland was the next stop and the owner of the small minstrel company was des- perate. He met a minister who was his friend. This minister introduced him to an Ashland banker who took an interest :n him and his show and the embarrassment was tided over. This was the beginning.
 .tThe first year." said MT. Field. "my profits were s1.30e. The next year we cleared something over $2,50o. The third year it went over $5,000. We have been growing ever since.
 And this was the beginning of the premier of American fninstrelsy, the man who declares that his success was based on character and love for his fellows.
 Concluding his remarks, Mir. Field told the young mon of his company that they could succeed only by self sac- rifice, by taking care of their health and their money and striving to do their very best in everything given to them to do.

Happy Occasion for the Chief of
 the Singers.
Program of Mirth and Jcyfulne.s Car- r'sd ont on Occasion of rws-sy- Second Anniversary of or-
 sani.ation of HI. Treap.

Al. q. Field celebrated his twenty second anniversary as the proprietor Of the Field Minstrels last night with banquet, in which all the members of his company participated. In addition : to the members of his troup, there were present number of personal friends of Mir. Field, as well as newspaper ad- mirers.
 The banquet which marked this inn portant period in Mir. Fields march to success, was devoid of any of the con- ventionalities which usually prevail on similar occasions. There was a riot of music, song and fun. The chief speech of interest was that of Mir. Field him self.
 The entertainment arranged last night in celebration of the twenty second anniversary of the Field show, was undoubtedly one of the most en- 1oyable affairs of It's kind ever given in Montgomery. Doc Quigley. whose fame has preceded him at every com munity in the Southland. acted as toastmaster.
 MT. Field was in particularly hap py humor. He reviewed the history of the Field minstrels, telling of how he had faced diversity in the first few weeks of his venture. His speech was particularly apropos to the members of his company, of which the majority are young men. He related many fn- cidents of his early trials as min stref manager, and advised the ambi- tious young men members of his com pany not to be discouraged, as he had started even lowlier than any of them.
 The program was one of the most delightful perhaps. that MT. Fields and his troup had ever participated in. In addition to the excellent menu ar- ranged for by Charles Phillips, press representative, and Beardman s. Carnes there were many impromptu features which made the entertainment all the more interesting and unique to the iaity.
 A happy incident of the banquet was the presentation to Mir. Field of an ode. written by Charles Phillips. his press representative, and appropriately illus trated by Frank Spangler. The pres entation was made by Goode Guerry.
 All of the members of the company seemed to greatly enjoy the program which was arranged for their enter tafnmenf. During the evening, the or chestra rendered several pleasing se- 1ections.
 Following Is the program:
 Oyerture-Tancred' {Rossini.)
 Duet-"Minnehaha" co. D. Barnard.)

Not a drop of alcohol enters into Dr. Pierce's leading medicines. A much better agent is used both fol extracting and preserving the me dicinal principles, viz. pure triple refined glycerine of proper strength. This agent possesses medicinal properties of its own, being most valuable anti-septic and anti-fer- nient, nutritive and soothing de. mulcent.
 0lycerine plays an important part in Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery in the cure of indi- gestion, dyspepsia and weak stom- ach. attended by sonr risings, wheartburn," foul breath, coated tongue, poor appetite. guawing feeling in stomach, biiiousness and kindred heterogeneous of the stom- ach, liver and bowels.
