RAGING OSTRICHES
 ARE BIG ATTRACTIONS
WEST VIRGINIA CROWDS ARE GREATLY INTERESTED IN BIRDS WHICH WILL NEXT BE SEEN AT BIRMINGHAM SHOW.

The racing ostriches, which will be seen at the Alabama state fair Tuesday are making a hit at places where they have been shown during the past few weeks. The Wheeling (W Va-) Tele- graph of September Il had the following account:
 "Sce de alostreech!'
 The small kid finds more entertainment watching the movements of the ostriches than any other feature of the state fair Six handsome birds from Florida Keys arrived yesterday, being delayed in trans portation. but have found room on an available spot where they are viewed by thousands.
 An ostrich show is always a popular side feature of an exposition. and owing to the magnifcence of the birds on dis play they are proving a great drawing card. The ostriches are owned by w. w. Ford of Tampa who has one or the biggest farms for the raising or these birds In America. The largest Of the sex tette, "Carrie Nation" weighs 40 pounds. She received her name from her carrie Nation" actions when on parade in one of the southern cities, when she quietly walked over to a saloon and with one pick smashed in the plate glass windows.
 She Is a fleet racing bird, and arrange ments will be made to have her give an exhibition on the track during the pro- gross of the fair here.

FAIRBANKS MAY
 CHANGE HIS MIND
Vice President Wires That He WI Try to Arrange Ills Dates to
 Visit Birmingham October 23.

It seems that Vice President Fairbanks is going to arrange to visit Birmingham and attend the meeting of the Inter national League of Press Clubs. Last year he personally promised to visit this city and attend this convention. In ac- cordance with this understanding the general arrangements committee wrote him. extending an invitation to him and reminding him of his promise.
 On September "A he replied. stating that on account of previous engagements at Dallas. Tex, on October 22, also an ap- pointment in Kentucky, it would be inn possible for him to come to Birmingham. On September 27 the general arrange ments committee replied to him, suggest ing that he speak in Dallas on the 22d, and come direct to Birmingham, ar irving here on the night of the 23d, so as to attend the reception at the Country club and to address the convention on the morning of the 24th, and leave on the afternoon train for Kentucky.
 It seems that the Vice President has been very favorably impressed with the suggestion, and it is quite likely that he will change his itinerary and dates Tn accordance with the suggestion. The fol- lowing telegram was received this morn in- bv night message from Indianapolis, as follows:
 Indianapolis Ind, october l, 1907. MT J. A. Rountree, Chairman General
 Arrangements Committee. International

 range. will visit Birmingham as requested. Will advise further whether I can arrange my dates as to do so.

.AG..A MURRAY WAS
 NOT IN HIS OFFICE
NO COMMITTEE MEETINGS WERE HELD YESTERDAY-MR. PAR kER's ORDER LAY UNTOUCHED ON CITY CLERKS DESK.

Yesterday afternoon, before the council meeting instead of the usual confusion of committee mee .ings, all was as quiet as could be- Mayor Ward had few of his friends closeted with him. but there was not a committee meeting held.
 MT. Parker lelt q note on the desk of Clerk Murray early in the morning, in- structing him to call the committees as usual. Mr. Murray was not in his office the whole day, and did not get the order, as he was employed in business by order of Mayor Ward
 MT. Parker and Alderman stockmar were the only members of the antl-ad- ministraton faction who entered the city hall during the afternoon
 Mayor Ward took his seat In the coun- ell chamber at a little after 6:30 o'clock. He wore his Irish green hat. and on the desk in front of him say the big Irish shillelay. which is humorously compared to the "big stick.
 The police officers who were in the council chamber last night state they never were in so dsorderly crowd and never had so much trouble in controlling a crowd. People in tue hall made center rushes in an attempt to break in the doors .-1ny climbed up and peered over the transoms, and the crowd wanted to yell on every occasion.

GETS PENNIES
 BY CARLOAD
Postmaster at Hamburg, Ala, Stirs Up Ire of Assistant
 Postmaster.

Assistant Postmaster Biakemore has blood in his eye, which was caused by inc receipt of a remittance from M. s. Jones, the postmaster at Hamburg, Ala. The fact that a remittance was received did not cause his blood to boil, but the manner in which it was made stirred things up within him. The remittance was made in a neat package, ana, consisted of 425 copper cents.
 Birmingham is the depository Tor all fourth-class postoffices in the state, and the different postmasters began to make things hot for the Birmingham office by sending all the coppers they could scrape together in their remittances, as many as 5000 to 4OOO having been received here In one day.. The habit grew so and en- tailed so much extra labor upon the of flee that the Postmaster General issued instructions to all postmasters not to send pennies in their remittances except in cases where it was necessary to com plete the change The postmaster at Hamburg evidently forgot these instruc- tions. and as a result Professor Blake more left him out of his prayers last night

 ernoon.

It is intended that the reception ae. corded the Confederate veterans next year by Birmingham shall be the greatest wei come ever given them. and nothing will be left undone towards making the gray haired warriors believe that Birmingham and all that's in 1t belongs to them.

M. wilzin of the Commercial club committee. has requested the com mittees of the Board of Trade, Board of Aldermen, and all other organizations to meet with his committee at the Commer- cial club rooms on next Friday after noon.

John B. Rosenstihl, game warden in Jeff ferson county, was asked many questions yesterday relative to the statement in The Age-Herald from John Wallace state game and fish commissioner, to the effect that it is unlawful for hotel to serve quail on toast in Alabama during the season of the year in which these birds are protected.
 Those interested could hardly under stand why man capturing birds in state in which they are not protected couldn't ship these birds into Birming- ham without making the proprietor who serves them to his guests liable to fine.
 The warden pointed out, however, that this law is the only intolerance to the

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee DrinkInu
 Ia Abandoned.

It Is almost as hard for an old cof- fee toper to quit the use of coffee as it is for whisky or tobacco fiend to break off. except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum without any feeling of 6 loss of the morning beverage, for when Postum Is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays and to the taste of the connoisseur 1t Is like the flavor of fine, mild Java.
 A great transformation takes place in the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Pos tum used, for the reason that the poi son to the neryes--ca neine-has been discontinued and in it's place is taken liquid food that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment.
 It Is easy to make this test and prove tn ese statements by changing from cof- fee to Postum. Read The Road to Melville" in pkgs. There's a Rea- son." r

 ew Morris hotel Is rushing work [, = at least two floors ready for the crowds. The Hillman, the Florence the Birmingham, the Metropolitan, and the other big hotels of the city are already pretty well fixed up, but every prepara- ton possible Is being made for the de- mand for room. Each of these hostelries will employ an additional force during the fair season and every effort will be made to accommodate the people.
 The Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company has never had trouble in carrying the crowds to and from the fair grounds because of the system of switching installed at that place several years ago. The South Ensley line is the best in the district, and the fine double track system Is In perfect shape for the strain. Every available car will be pressed into service, and minute schedules will De put In force during the rush hours At tho fair grounds every facility for handling the throng is being installed. There will be no turnstiles at the en- frances, doing away with the delay this might involve Instead the several gates will be operated by two men each, and the line can move through as fast as practical. Once inside the immense en- closure prevents the possibility of jam ming, and there will be plenty of elbow room. no matter how many attend The grandstand. seating 5000 persons, will probably be taxed to it's limit, but the open spaces just in front and to each side are capable of taking care of a heavy overflow.

The city is filled to the brim with wis. itors. They have come from everywhere and are clamoring for room, place whereon to lay their heads.
 Hotels last night began turning then; away at an early hour. At midnight therI was not a vacant room in any hostelr ! of the city.
 Guests. first of all, asked for roo with bath, and a sample room. Tn they were perfectly willing to take room with the bath. minus the room the display of their goods. Then begged for a room, caring nothing for bath. Then they took their grips sought another house, but found the 1. status of affairs.
 The marvellous feature of the situ Is that there is nothing of special which has drawn the people to Bir ham. No convention is in progr the city at the present time. It ply business tide.
