ENGINEERS DID
NOT ENDORSE TAFT

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
We have noticed in the afternoon papers
a statement purporting to come from the
headquarters of the republican party say
ing that the Birmingham local of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
through letter from s. c. Parker, had in
dorsed the republican state and national
ticket | have been instructed by Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, Division
436 to answer this card in all of the Bir-
mingham daily papers placing this mat
ter before the people of the city. and
stating 1t in its true light.
1t had been brought to our notice that
one of our members, Mr.. j. l.. Haver had
been nominated as elector by the repub-
lican party in the Ninth Congressional
district, and as Mr.. Haver had been one
of our Oldest and most loyal members we
thought it duty to write Mr.. Lathrop,
the chairman of that party, Letter, ex-
pressing our appreciation to them for
honoring one of our members. which Mr..
Parker did. This was not indorsing or
congratulating the ticket, as the item indi-
Gates but was only an expression from
us indorsing Mr.. Haver as a man of ster-
ling qualities to them and not indorsing
the republican party. Hoping you will
give this notice space,

RODGERS TAKES
DEATH AS THEME

zone hundred and twenty-three thous-
and people have died since 1 stood before
you last night said Dr. Rodgers, the
evangelist at the First Cumberland Pres
byterian church last evening. His sub
ject was Death and he took as his
text, the Scripture ut is appointed unto
men once to die, but after this the judg-
ment." He drew many pictures of death
both of the righteous and the upright
eous, and urged upon his hearers a prop
er appreciation of death and the necessity
of living in a constant state of prepared
ness and closed with a strong plea for
all to accept Jesus Christ and eternal life.
The service was an impressive one
throughout and many asked for prayer.
and a number of lukewarm Christians
were reclaimed.
This morning at 1890 a service for
parents and children will be held. There
will be no service tonight, the evangelist
and workers taking rest preparatory
to a strenuous day on the Sabbath.

CITY GETS BUSY
BURYING WIRES

The city Is making preparations for the
laying of it's fire alarm wires under the
ground, pursuant of the recent ordinance
passed by the city council The ordt.
nance requires that the telephone and
telegraph companies put their wires under
ground in the downtown portion of tie
city and when this order Is complied
with the wires connected with the fire
alarm boxes will also have to go in tho
ground.
Room is reserved in the telephone COM
pany's ducts for one cable for the fire
alarm wires, and matters are being put
in shape to have the cable laid
1t is an unusual occurance for the fire
engines to leave the city hall in a walk
and much curiosity was aroused when the
beautiful grays, pulling the Harry
Jones'" calmly walked down Nineteenth
street yesterday afternoon.
1t seems that the duct running down
Second avenue had become filled with
water so that the oity's cable could not
be laid. The engine was taken from No.
station of the fire department and STA
toned in front of the Bell Telephone
company's office, where it pumped, in
about 10 minutes, a quantity of water
from the duct and manhole, which would
have required the services OF a man for
two days or more.
Active preparations are now being made
all over the city for the burying of The
telephone and telegraph wires. By the
first of next year it is thought the work
will have been completed.

WESTERN WRITER SAYS
NICE THINGS ABOUT WARD

A story which has been written by GIL
son Gardner. we'll known syndicate
writer. about Birmingham's bachelor
Mayor George B. Ward. has been printed
in all the western papers and is at
tracing the attention of magazines, as
well as periodicals of all kinds, through
out the west. 1t has attracted the atten-
ton of a number of bonny ladies of the
west, as we'll, for Mayor Ward has only
received four fiat proposals for marriage
through the mail, and has as many pho
tographs of the western lassies. Here
is the story:
Birmingham. Ala, September I'm
Birmingham the church people run the
city's politics. Result: An Improvement

Methodists, Baptists. Episcopalians
Catholics Lutherans and Christian Sci
entists in Birmingham are politically in

They decline to be buncoed by the ras-
Gals, but with a platform of decent city
government and honest enforcement of
the laws, they have discovered that they
can get together. And together they are
a majority.
This accounts for the election three
and half years ago of George Ward as
mayor of Birmingham. Ward was a
clerk in a bank, and never, so far as he
can remember, had shaken hands with a
professional politician. He never had
made a speech and knew nothing of the

BRINGS MANY TO CITY

One of the largest conventions to be
held in Birmingham this fall will be that
of the Holiness union, which convenes
here on Tuesday, October 70, and which
will continue in session for five days.
adjourning Sunday, October %. Several
hundred delegates will attend from all
over the south and among this number
will be several of the prominent college
presidents and divines of the southland.
Reduced railroad rates will be put on by
all of the roads from all sections, and
this will undoubtedly serve to bring sew
eral thousand visitors to Birmingham dur
ing the days of the convention.
This will be the fifth annual conven-
ton of this union since its organization
in 1904. The first convention was held
in Memphis that year. the next one in
Louisville in 1907
J. w. Randolph, 500 South Twelfth
street, Birmingham, is in charge of the
local end, and is looking after the mat
ter of accommodation OF the delegates
who are to be entertained in the homes
of Birmingham people. While there will
be large number of people thus enter
tanned there will be a still larger per-
centage who expect to pay their expen-
SEES while here.
The Holiness union does not profess to
be a church, nor has it ever sought to
be a church. Instead it is an association
of members of the various church who
believe in, advocate and seek to earnestly
propagate the doctrines and experience
of entire sanctification.
L. p. Brown, a prominent business man
of Meridian. is president of the union,
While the other officers are: First vice
president, II. c. Morrison of Louisville;
second vice president, e. p. Ellyson of
Benile, Tex; third vice president, B. F.
Haynes of Wilmore, KY; fourth vice pres
ident ]. W. Beeson of Meridian; secre-
tary, II. W. Bromley of Wilmore, KY;

URGES CITIZENS TO
CLEAN CHIMNEYS

Perhaps the least observed ordinance
IN the city code is the one relative to the
matter of keeping chimneys clean. There
are very few people who are aware of
the fact that there is a penalty for any
person allowing a fue or chimney to take
fire through neglect of keeping 1t properly
swept or cleaned.
As a matter of precaution Chief Ben
nett of the fire department has written
to Mayor Ward with reference to the en-
forcement of the law. The following let
ter was received by the Mayor yesterday:
Birmingham, Ala, September a. 1908.
Hon. George b. Ward, Mayor, City:
Dear Sir-I desire to call your atten-
ton to section 3434 of the city code, which
provides a penalty for any person allowing
a hue or chimney to take fire through
neglect of keeping it properly swept or
cleaned This ordinance is possibly more
generally violated than any section in
the code, as the fire department was called
on to extinguish 1856 fires during the year
1907 caused by burning SCOT falling on and
setting fire to shingle roofs. This can be
largely prevented by having the fiue or
chimney properly cleaned two or three
times during the winter months, and
especially before building the first fires
at the beginning of the season. If the
SCOT has been allowed to remain in the
f1ue during The summer months it IS in
clined to flake off and will ignite more
readily than when the fiue is in constant
use For this reason every fiue aad
chimney in the city should be thoroughly
cleaned at once, which can be dons very
inexpensively by placing a brick IN an
ordinary gunny sack and dragging 1t back
and forth through the chimney from the
top by ropes. and 1 trust our citizens
can be induced to take this simple pre-
caution against very dangerous fire
hazard. Respectively,
"A. V. BENNETr,
"Chief of the Fire Department"

STILL POURING LIQUOR
INTO THE CITI Sc WERS

Accounts Of the destruction of 1855 gal
Ions of whisky by the police Thursday
afternoon and the announcement that 100
gallons more of the liquor would be
turned into the sewer yesterday attracted
a great number of "mourners" to the city
hall to pay respect to the dead sol
diers.' Few, however, could stand the
pathos of the occasion more than few
minutes and there was stream of visit
ors passing through the city hall through
out yesterday afternoon.
From the lobby of Judge Feagin's court
yesterday afternoon there emanated an
odor more like that of a saloon than
anything the visitors had smelled since
last Christmas. So abundant was the
liquor that it saturated the floor of the

1.-THE Devil"

A play that is the reigning sensation
Ia New York was presented at the Bijou
theatre last night by the Baldwin Mel
vile company. This was the first time
that 1.-THE Devil" had been presented out
side of the metropolis. The play Is deep
and clever beyond the ordinary and it
presents his satanic majesty as an ac-
complshed man of the world who is
suave and yet omnipotent. With finesse
and brilliancy he weaves and interweaves
the destines of three women and a man.
playing them off against each other until
his purpose is achieved and the guilty
passion of a wife for her artist lover is
revealed.
The play is intensely interesting. Dr.
Kelmar who is the devil, moves through
the piece with all the fascination that a
Mephistopheles has always exerted. His
knowledge of human weakness is dis
played in cutting epigrams and is put to
effective use when he desires to still
further entangle his victims. The plot is
not complicated by any means. but it is
one that smacks of the new and is inter-
esting in proportion as 1t is bold. 1t is
strictly up-to-date and modern in every
line The devil is himself a parsonage
who has frequented Monte Carlo and
knows the steps in an intrigue better
than any divorce lawyer ever did THE
Devil is really a most unusual offer
ing for the Bijou and theatregoers should
not overlook a chance to see the play
either this afternoon tonight.
The company acquitted itself surpris-
ingly well. Mr.. Jack Dwyer played Dr.
Kelmar, the devil, and he made the part
wildly satanic. Miss Ruth Creighton,
who was Bertha; Miss Ruth Raynor
who was Sophie and Miss Lucia Moore
who played the part of Meta, We're all
good. The performance as whole was
excellent and the play was well staged.
1.-THE Devil will be given this afternoon
and tonight, closing the engagement.
