TIRED SOLDIERS
 WILL NOT MUSTER

The regular monthly meeting of the Jefferson County National Guard associa- tion was held in the armory of Troop D at the city halp yesterday afternoon. considerable budget of business of espe- cial interest to the association was acted upon. Vice President c. s. Price acted as chairman of the meeting in the ab- sence of the president.
 The question of the regular monthly muster was brought up and after con- siderable discussion it was decided that no battalion drill be held next Thurs day night, the regular date, on account of the fact that the men are tired out after their service in the field on strike duty.
 The members of Troop D. however were ordered to report at their armory tonight for drill and muster The troop has held its drill regularly on Wednes- day nights for a number of years past but 1t has been decided to hold them hereafter on Monday.

NOVEL EFFECTS PLANNED
The Whole Grounds Will Be a Blaze of Color Every Night During the Big Fair In Birmingham.
 Other Features.

The eruption of great volcano. the any of the other natural displays of strange beauty, can rival the grandeur and fmmensity, the beautiful color ef- fects of the modern fireworks display.
 People were thrilled last year at the state fair but 12 months have wrought many improvements in the art and the display of the National Fireworks com- pany to be made every night during the coming state fair, October 9-17, Is the most unique and elaborate in existence
 The programme for the Birmingham fair has already been prepared and con- talhs % separate numbers, each indfvid- nal mad wonderful in effect. It will begin with a salute of 15-lnch aerial maroons fired from steel mortar to the height of 1000 feet, exploding with a terrific re- port.
 Following this signal q beautiful pris- matic illumination of the grounds will burst forth, and q meteoric balloon will go up with tri-color and magnesium fires. discharging a variety of novel fireworks when it reaches a great height
 Among the big features are the many flights of asteroid rockets discharging floating, twinkling stars, the aerial acre of varigated gems, the Merry Widow fan, the explosion of 12 mines of silver snakes, a flight of peacock plume rockets. The explosion of four 15-inch bomb shells will make an exceptional display of color. comprising silver rain, sapphires, magenta. mauve, green golden, yellow, ruby and silver. Chain rockets will fill the sky with floating stars constantly changing color.
 The flight of another salvo of bomb shells will present wonderful .acre of peoples in a corn field" something entire- ly new The electric fountains, with inc tersecting rose center, changing to silver sprays with oapricious movements, the whole blending into a beautiful tropical tree of irridescent splendor, will be fol- lowed by an exhibition of jeweled mines.
 The electric kaleidoscope is a special de- vice never used before; whistling rockets will be in abundant use. but perhaps the most beautiful effect will be that of the grove of jeweled palms." which will ex- tend fully across the grounds, and with the discharge of thousands of colored stars, intersected by columns of golden showers, it will be beautiful indeed.
 The ascent of the hanging gardens will catch and hold the artistic eye, while the children will be delighted by the repre- sentation of Jumbo, big elephant, walks ing across the grounds apparently by hia own efforts.
 Wherever the exhibition has been given the sensation of the season has been de< clared to be found In the display of New England batteries. Something never be- fore attempted is accomplished in the dis- charge of an 1s-inch mammoth shelis made up of smaller shells. including lydite, whirligig and "aerial jugglery."
 The good night sign, fanked on either side by columns of red, white and plues together with the final flight of 90 large rockets. will give fitting end for the stupendous undertaking.

"on the Bridge at Midnight

"On The Bridge at Midnight will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre this afternoon and tonight. The vide ly known scene of a bridge and a steamer passing through the draw is not the only attraction. It has a remarkable story in which blind mother seeks in the highways and byways of a great city for her stolen child; and william ous brother plots the destruction of his own kin. In comedy "On The Bridge at Midnight exeels as much as in seen cry. the two leading characters, the pro- lessor and the bootblack, being humor- ous creations that always make a hit.
 The bridge scene Eliminates one of the clmaxes. besides giving a faithful and realistic glimpse of a characteristic river scene in the heart of Chicago with the lifting drawbridge and the passing ships.
