WALKING STICKS
 SUPPLANT BOTTLE
Canes With Capacity For Pint of Liquor Make First Appearance
 In Birmingham.

Prohibition walking sticks made their appearance in Birmingham yesterday, said sticks having 8 capacity of one pint. The man who had the sticks did quite rushing business, despite the price of $3 he asked for them.
 To the uninitiated the stick is in- nocent looking enough, there being nothing to indicate that it's inner con struction might contain liquids. The stick is of a good thickness and con- tains long glass tube, something over half an inch in diameter and two feet in length.
 There are two varieties of handles, some of the sticks being straight and the others having the curved handle. The handle screws on, acting as a stopper for the tube.
 The was much speculation as to whether Birmingham would develop a fad for walking sticks Or not. It is argued that it would be much mare convenient than the carrying of a bot tie in ones pocket, while on the other hand it is pointed out that everybody would spot the walking stick.

New Skating Rink.

The fact that the Bessemer Hippodrome was closed down because the aldermen Of Jonesboro could not see their way clear to grant them a license for nothing, does not seem to have worried the little boys and girls around Bessemer one bit, be- cause they have opened an open-air rink on the corner of Eighteenth street and Third avenue, and every afternoon after school is out they can be seen making for the place with their skates under their arms They come in droves, and nothing but darkness can move them after they once get started. Up to last week they had a habit of skating along the side walk on Third avenue as far as Nine teenth street. This route took them di- rectly in front of the Southern Bell Tele- phone office. and that caused them to lose out there. They used to skate down the sidewalk by that place Ill punches ranging all the way from 10 to 70, and by the time they reached there they had gotten a good start and 1t was nara to stop them. The operators in the ex- change started off by going out and ask ing them to stop, but this only made It worse, and it was the case on more than one occasion that when person called central and wanted to get a number they would be informed that they would have to wait until the skaters passed.
 This was too much, and at last the Mayor was called upon to take hand. He was afraid to get mixed up with that bunch, and he addressed them po- lite little note. asking them as a personal favor to cut out the sidewalk on Third avenue He received word from the young hopefuls that they would do their best to comply with his wishes, but they stated in winding up that it often happened that when a hot race was on hand, 1t was almost impossible to stop when they reached Third avenue, and in that case they were compelled to make the curve on Third avenue before they could Init the post which, by the way. always manages to stop them.
 It Is believed that the Mayor made hit with them by his polite message, and un- less they tear the whole sidewalk up It is not believed that they will be troubled further.

WAR SCARE SUBSIDIES.
There Is Little Chance of Russia
 Fighting Turkey.

St. Petersburg, February 1.-The with drawal of Turkish troops from the Persian territory to the west of Tabriz, as well as the more conciliatory sentiment shown at Constantinople is regarded here as obviating any necessity for the present of the government taking further precau- tionary measures on the Persian and Turkish frontiers and it is possible that the dispatch of troops from the interior of Russia to the Caucasus will be aband- oned, pending further developments. Thus the alarming statements that Russia was concentrating a force of 6O,0Oo for mili- tary demonstration against Turkey can be dismissed for today. The outlook is decidedly better and more peaceful.
 Another quieting piece of information concerning the situation in the Balkans was received today. This Is the fact that it is thought that the relations between Austria and Russia regarding the con- struction of Macedonian railroads are en- tering on a better stags.

OPEN AIR SKATING RINK

Bessemer. February 11.-(speeial)-A steel cage has been installed in the sher- frs office in this city, and it is believed after this that when any prisoners are bound over to the grand jury in the po- lice court they will be taken up to the sheriff and kept there until it is conven- tent to convey them to the jail in Bir- mingham The cage is large enough to accommodate several prisoners, and they can be kept ill it without any trouble.
 It is thought that this method will save the city q good deal of expense and trouble. as it will be the means of having the prisoners taken up to Birmingham sooner than they would be under ordinary circumstances.
 Deputy Sheriff George Jones did not give any special reason for putting the cage in. but it is believed that he was labor ing under the impression that the Bes- semer jail could not hold the prisoners, even for little while

lightning Express
 Helps Blind Tigers

Atlanta, February n.-(Special.) l.)-The Lightning Express is the new name for the blind tiger in Atlanta, or at least for a system which answers all the es- sential purposes.
 There are said to be runners for the lightning express who have no difficult ty in finding customers.
 The way it is worked is somewhat after this fashion: A large number of packages of liquor are shipped by express to vari- ous persons, known as Bill Sykes, Tom Jones, Sam Williams and others, whose names may or may not be in the direc- tory.
 An Atlantan goes out in search for a drink. He runs upon a runner for the lightning express, whose mission it is to supply liquid refreshments for the thirsty.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-02-12

There is, it is said,S an exchange of cash for an order on the express company to deliver to bearer one package addressed to Bill Sykes, and the trade is consum- mated
 The owner of the order goes or sends to the express office, gets his package and is happy as long as it lasts.
 Since there is nothing in the prohibit tion law to prevent the express compa- ny from keeping on hand packages con- signed to any person to whom they may be addressed, it is easy enough to send several hundred such packages, where they are retained until disposed of by the runner.
 If anybody, it is the runner who vio- iates the law, as clear case of sale could be made out against him, provided he is caught. The police are onto the game, but they have had considerable difficulty up to the present time in locating these runners.
