AUTCAULT CANNOT COME. Miss Finch is Secured as Lyceum Att traction for Thursday Night.

Much to the regret of the directors or the lyceum course at the High school. the engagement with R. r. Autcault. the noted Buster Brown artist, has been can ceed and he cannot appear in Birming- ham on the 7th as expected.
 Dr. Phillips rerceived telegram yes terdav from the lyeeum agents stating that AIr. Outcault had found it necessary to cancel all of his southern engagements, including twelve cities, on account of ill- ness. which forbids his travelling.
 This will cause great disappointment to his many admirers in tine city who were looking forward with pleasure to his ad- dress He is man of such Individuality that the occasion would have attracted large crowds.
 Dr. Phillips, however, has been fortu- Miss Lucine Finch, who is said to be an artist of great ability in her line. which is songs and stories of the old south.
 Miss Finch is a Birmingham girl, hay ing been educated here, and has since made an envlable record on the platform in New York, Chicago and other eastern points. She has the recommendation of Dr. Richard Burton of the University of Chicago, who lectured here last year, and considers her portrayal of characters al most perfect. Bishop J. H. Vincent also comments her for interpretation of folk lore She will more than likely be re- ceived by a large audience of old friends on the night of Thursday. March :.

PUSH BUTTONS RUN
 BAGGAGE TRUCKS
POWERFUL AND EASILY CON- TROLLED MACHINES NOW IN USE AT BROAD STREET STA TON, PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia March 3.-(Special)- l)-There have been placed in use in the Broad Street station of the Pennsylvania rail- road in Philadelphia. baggage and mail trucks which are in themselves miniature automobiles. Those in use now are, in a sense, experimental, but the satis- faction which they have given points clearly to the fact that they will ulti- matey take the place of the old hand pulled trucks in the larger stations
 Every passenger is vitally interested in his own baggage, and particularly ill having it go on tine same train that he does, and reach it's destination with him. rather than one or two trains afterward. This is one of the conditions which led to the development of these new auto. mobile trucks. It often happens that passenger doesn't deliver his trunk in the baggage room until five minutes or less before train time, and yet he ex before the train leaves.
 It is not an uncommon thing to see several baggage porters pushing and tuSging at one ordinary heavily loaded hand-truck in their effort 10 deliver it's burden within the allotted time. To- u1N Dne may pc dltldCttu py d hthNiiH loaded truck running along at q good speed and controlled wholly by q man who holds the tongue and guides it sim ply by pushing button as easily as he would if he were actually pulling the load.
 Of course this improvement makes easy work for the men who handle the trucks and they very thoroughly appreciate It, for it enables them to accomplish so much more in day, without danger of over-straining themselves or of being en- tirely worn out at night. The general appearance of the trucks is similar to that of the old hand-puled affairs, but beneath the platform are boxes contain ing a storage battery and one electric motor.
 In order to do work satisfactorily these trucks must be safe. They must neither run away nor get beyond control if ac- cidentally left for a minute. In this re- spect they have proved highly satisfac- tory. for their speed is controlled from a small lever on the tongue by which they are steered, and it is further ar ranged so that if this, tongue Is dropped or let down. the current is shut off and the brakes are put on. A catch is also provided so that the tongue can be fastened up against the front of the truck in which position the current IS also shut off and the brakes are on the same as when it is on the ground.

NORMAN BROOKS
 DIES OF INJURIES
Another Victim is Added to List in Frisco Wreck-Funeral Tomor-
 row Morning.

The third victim of the Frisco wreck near Pratt City on the 10th of last month, Norman P Brooks, died yeste rday morn ing at 7:45 at St. Vincents hospital.
 After nearly n month of suffering the wasted and bllstered body gave way to it's injuries, and life passed out. Besides flesh scalds from head to foot, Mir. Brooks had developed a severe case of pneumonia, and all efforts of the physi- clans could not check it from overcoming the already weakened tissues
 It will be remembered that Brooks was the engineer on the Frisco which jumped the track, killing the fireman, General McElmurry. and the baggagemaster. Wal ter R. Robbins. Brooks was found pinned under his locomotive, with the scalding steam pouring over his body. He was brought to Birmingham as quickly as pos sible and at first seemed to rally.
 At the hospital his bravery and forti- tude in standing untold pain was especial ly notable. During weeks of suffering he never grumbled except during the last few days when he was unconscious.
 The deceased was the son of l.. R. Brooks, 1909 Seventh avenue, north. and was 30 years of age. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at St. Paul's church. Brooks was q member of the Or der of Locomotive Engineers. and a man with many local friends. His death is widely lamented.
