UFFORD'S FATHER
 DIES IN ILLINOIS
Birmingham Man Was Unable To Reach the Bedside Before
 End Came.

Information was received in Birming- ham last night that H. F. Ufford, father of c. w. Ufford of this city, died at his home in Lewiston, H., Tuesday after noon at 1:S0 o'clock. Several telegrams bearing the news were received by sev- eral Birmingham people.
 MT. Ufford, who was more than so years old, had been in i'll health for about year, but previous to that time he was active and hale and hearty A few months ago, however, he became i'll and c. w. .Uford, his son, whose home is in Birmingham was called to Lewiston. MT. Ufford returned a short time afterward, however, his father having fairly recov- cred.
 On Tuesday morning, however. he re- ceived a message from Lewiston calling him to the bedside of his father, who was very low at that time. MT. and Mrs. Ufford left Birmingham on the first train after the message was received When MT Ufford reached Lewiston he found that his father had died only a few hours after he left Birmingham.
 The news of the elder MT. Ufford's death is received In Birmingham with much re- gret. c. w. Ufford. son of the deceased. is quite prominent in this city and has host of friends here who will be pained to learn of his bereavement.

The payrolls in the immediate Birming ham district are large, notwithstanding the comparative quiet that has prevailed in the industrial world since the panic of 1907. Within the past five years there has been a great increase in the number of small manufacturing plants hereabouts, and most of these industries are kept in continuous operation. In and around Bes- semer, with all the furnaces in blast, industrial activity is now fully normal. At Thomas the Republic company's three blast furnaces are in operation and have been for a year or more. It Is a note worthy fact that the company never had all of its Thomas furnaces in blast un- til after the panic. The reason of this was that the big No. 8 never behaved well until it's last overhauling. It is a good pig maker now and all three fur naces are in high class form. In Pratt City, Ensley and Wylam are found varied industries that go far toward swelling the Birmingham payrolls; but in East Bir- mingham and North Birmingham the greatest number of plants are in opera tion. A careful canvass of North Bir- mingham yesterday showed the following industries with the number of wage-earn- CTS now employed:

Beginning with the matinee this after noon the Vernon Stock company will put on new play at the Bijou called At the Risk of His Life.' The plot deals with the adventures of an English manufacturer who falls into the trap set for him by an ungrateful nephew and the nephew's female accomplice. The action of the play is said to be very in- teresting and the various members of the Vernon company will, it is claimed, appear to much better advantage than they did in ''The Unwritten Law which was the offering for the first part of the week Specialties will be introduced.

laborous work of the clergy, as well as the readiness of men and women who do not know the church to learn her ways and to receive her ministrations. In 1907 l reported the number of persons con- firmed 509. This was told was the largest number that had been confirmed in a single year in the history of the diocese. This year 1t is my pleasure to record the number of persons confirmed 552.
