The mass meeting held, Saturday evening in the hall of the Arctic brotherhood to take sction looking to the betterment of mail service which has placed the merchants and business men of Sksgway at such a distinct dis advantage during two years past was a large and representative gathering.
 Dr. L. S. Keller, as president Of the Chamber of Commerce, called the meet- ing to order, briefly stated it's purpose and proposed the. election of officers. Mir. H. Fl. Draper was made chairman aud MT. L. s. Harrison secretary.
 Mir. Draper, then at moro length, went into the condition that had wrought the citizens to a state of mind that developed iuto the movement of protest. Be thought the time had con to make known the attitude of the community in the matter of steamer and mail service.
 Ia response to a call for sn expression of feeling Dr. Keller said the people of Skagway were entitled to more consideration than was being accorded them by the steamship companies but that SO long as the interests of the companies lay in one direction and those of the business men iD another, the latter were themselves to blame Il they were neglected. He believed that the steamship companies had taken thess contracts at too small a figure and that this was the real trouble;they were not warranted in making extra effort to deliver the mail here at reasonable intervals. When is was considered that the Canadian government paid s9O,OOO for carrying the mail to Dawson the amount paid for the service of this whole coast was a bsgstelle, The matter should be opened up and a prop, CT service secured to the country, However he did not excuse the com. panies for what he thought was a neglect of the interests Of the people they served.
 MT Shea asked that the represen- tatives of the companies who were all present be heard. Mir. Lowle, for the Canadian; Mir. Elliott, for the Alas. ka, and Mir. Stuart for the Pacific Coast

 By models of buildings and tents, beautiful photographs and novel charts, the exhibits will demonstrate the rela- tion of occupation and living conditions to disease, and will emphasize the ravages of consumption among all classes. The entirely removable causes of the hign death rate among the negroes and Indians and Chinese will be made clear and It will be shown that the uninformed negro consumptive may be a possible source of death to any member of the community, even to some who have not even seen pr known of the original source of infec- tion."

AnH- Tuberculosis Exhibit
 Is En Route To Birmingham

Ninety-two boxes, crates, trunks and packages are on the way between Mont gomery and Birmingham. This car load of freight carries the exhibits, office equipment and supplies which form the travelling ''health show" of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
 Known as the American tuberculosis exhibition. this aggregation of freight packages is touring the three North American countries as a travelling school in the methods of right living and the prevention and cure of disease" said Job Going, treasurer of the joint committee representing the Jefferson County Med ieal society and the Commercial club of Birmingham. This exhibition will en- able the citizens of Birmingham district a8 influential representatives of many Alabama communities to get right in line with other enterprising cities of the north and south in the battle against consump- ton.
 'This exhibition will be open only II days beginning next Wednesday, but there will be something doing all of that time, and we expect that during those eleven days thousands will learn the real nature of tuberculosis and will so live and ask others to so live hereafter that there will be much less reason for fearing the spread of the disease in Central Ala

NEED HORSES
 FOR REUNION
Committee Calls On Citizens To Assist In Supplying 600 For the
 Veterans.

The reunion committee will have to fur nsh some 600 horses to the Confederates and others. This is a big figure, and a great difficulty is being found in se- curing so many. The following has been given out by the committee:
 '"To Owners of Horses and Carriages:
 "rhe committee appointed to secure horses and carriages for the mounted of- ficers, fof sponsors, and distinguished guests who will visit Birmingham during the Confederate reunion, find it impos- sible to obtain from thel ivery stables as many horses and carriages as will be required on this occasion. It is, there fore, necessary to appeal to the owners of horses and carriages in this city to come to the rescue in this emergency. We do not ask that private owners furnish any thing free, but will be pleased to have such owners notify the chairman of the committee at once if they will furnish saddle horses or horse and carriage, and what price they will ask.
 Trusting to the civic pride of our liberal citizens, we hope to have many responses. Please communicate with Dr. Byron Dozier chairman of the committee on horses and carriages, or Fies & Sons livery stable"

DINNER GIVEN TO
 VISITING OFFICER
R. A. BROWN ENTERTAlNS iN FAVOR OF HENRY EVANS OF NEW YORK, PRESIDENT OF CON- TINENTAL INSURANCE co.

About twenty prominent business men of Birmingham were the guests at a din- ner given Tuesday evening by R. A Brown at his residence on Highland ave- nue. the occasion being in honor of Hen- " Evans of New York, president of the Continental Insurance company, of which MT. Brown is local agent.
 MT. Evans trip to Alabama was for ths purpose of inspecting the marble indus- try at Sylacauga, in which he is heavily interested. He referred to this work in a short talk and expressed himself as hav- ing been more than pleased with his trip. The amount invested in the marble works is a little over S5O0,00O and this amount. MT. Evans stated. would be increased to SI00000 very shortly.
 Optimistic indeed was Mir. Evans talk. The picture he drew of the immediate fu- ture was the beginning of an era of pros pcrity the like of which has never been known before. To Alabama, with all her resources his prediction that nothing could hurt her for long. But the entire country is fast coming into splendid con- dition and is taking on such a prosperity stride that it will be impossible for a. panic to overtake it." said he.
 Such remarks from man in MT. Ev- ans position are regarded as significant. At the head of a business with agencies in every part of the United States, he is in way of feeling the pulse of general business conditions, and his enthusiastic remarks found an echo among those who heard him.

SPANISH VETERANS ORGANIZE NEW CAMP Starts Out With Charter Mem-
 berShip of Sixty TROOP D HOLDS MEETING Troop Ball Will Be Given May 20. Will Act With Other Companies
 as Escort at the Confed-
 crate Reunion.

"Col. E. L. Higdon Camp" was the name adopted last night at the organiza- tion meeting of the Spanish-American the city hall and the camp organized with 60 charter members.
 The following officers were elected:
 Ed c. Winston, commander; w. J. Mo- Carty, vice commander; L. Gaines, junior vice commander; w. E. Sparks, officer of the day; Leslie Dee, officer of the guard; G. w. Lockwood, chaplain; J. D. Fuller, Jr., adjutant J. o. Cooper, quartermas- ter; Lucien Brown, Earle Daniels and Dr. J. M. Lowry, trustees.
 The movement to organize a camp in Birmingham was started about two months ago, and the large membership with which it starts out is gratifying to the organizers. It is expected that the number will be swelled by several hun dred during the next few mouths.
 There are at present about 125 camps throughout the United States of the vet erans of the Spansh-American war, each of which has healthy membership. Re unions are held yearly. The organization has also adopted national uniform, con- ssting of blue shirt and gray trousers,
  together of the north and south in de- fense of the Stars and Stripes.
 Troop D held business meeting in the armory at the city hall last night and several matters of importance to the company were brought up for considera- tion. Tine meeting was largely attended and there was much interest manifested in the business at hand. First Lieut.. c. H. Mandy presided.
 Final arrangements were made by the troop for the ball to be given on May 20, and the various committees were ap- pointed to take matters appertaining to the entertainment in hand and to carry out the plans already decided upon.
 The troop agreed to go into camp at East Lake with the other companies of Jefferson county on May 24-25. A school of instruction for non-commissioned of ficers was also formed. This step in the proceedings of the camp is one of great importance, as it will-result in much ben eft to the non commissioned officers
 Matters pertaining to the approaching Confederate reunion were discussed, and the troop decided to take part in the programme, acting with the other com- panies as an escort
