 Harry Mclean will meet the fast est long distance contestants in the world, many of those who entered in the recent Olympic games in Eng | land. and new and promising material l that has recently appeared on the athletic horizon in the amatuer as sociations all over the country He will meet the best performers from the Irish American association of New York, of the New York Athletic club, of the Chicago Athletic club, and of the Multnomah and Olympic : clubs, who will fight for the suprem- acy of the coast in the west. The English athletes will be present. President Sullivan of the A. A. L., who has charge of the meet intends to make this the greatest event in the history of American athletics He has been making attempts to get Jim Rector of the American Olympic team of London, as an entry of the eastern teams, who will arrange to meet Walker of the South African team. This is the class that Harry Mclean has been entered in, and with perfect faith that he will deliver the goods, which all of his past work pro claims that he can. Harry made more than good at Los Angeles. in fact was one of the chief idols of the P. A. A. meet there. He gained rec ognition from the eastern men from Cornell Yale and Harvard, who were present It was considered marvellous that he could break the two-mile rec ord after having run the Marathon the day previously.
 Walter Christy of Berkeley, Califor- mia, stated: He can in my mind win the five mile easily. l can't see any one who can equal him. His work in the coming meet will re- fleet great credit to the territory and to the city. He runs with ease and shows exceptional ability to handle the five miles with an ease and grace that will outclass many a veteran. A wonder, yet modest; quiet. yet nervy. Just think of the advertise ment that he will be for the territory and for the Salt River valley-free advertising if you please-at every meet in which he is entered"
 AL the A A. U. meet III oedl'it' Harry will see the champion hurdler of the world, Kelly, as well as Smith son, Gilbert, Jack Nelson and Oliver Huston. two of the new 100-yard men; Lonergan of Stanford, Rose, Foster and Whitman
 Much credit should he given the EIks. who gave the benefit meet for Harry last Friday, enabling him to have s28O for expenses, and also credit should go to the Grand man agement who last evening gave the Hopi twenty per cent of it's receipts or close to a hundred dollars. Harry appeared and thanked the audience as well as the entire populace of the city for it's kindness fin making it possible for him to go to Seattle and represent the Indian school at Phoenix against the entire amatuer athletic world for the championship in the five-mile race. Although he could not find words to say so, Harrys eyes shone with a light that plainly said that he would win the cup if he had to die in the attempt.

Through the agency of the Salvation army 200 bleak and cheerless homes Of the destitute have today been lighted up with the warmth and joy of the true Christmas. Where otherwise the spirit of the day would have been a mockery, the members of that organization of real charity have interfered and left the proof of their worth.
 Food sufficient for the needs of 200O peo- pie was distributed yesterday afternoon from tho Salvation army hall on North Twentieth street. Two hundred heavily laden baskets were placed in the hands of 200 of the city's deserving poor, who went on their way rejoicing For several weeks the scouts" of the army have been out among the poor. securing the names of those who were necoy and deserving and presenting them with tickets for the baskets. The territory seems to have been well covered. inasmdch as only about dozen have applied to whom the tickets have not been issued.
 Each of the baskets distributed con- tained ample provisions for dinner for a family of five. The contents of each basket was as follows:

RIFLE BUTT USED
 IN BAD SCRIMMAGE
NEGROES AT SUMTER EXCHANGE SHOTS AND THEN ONE USED STOCK ON oTHER-coRoNER IN vEsTIGATEs.

Coroner B. l.. Brasher returned early last night from Sumter, about IS miles below Bessemer, in the southern part of Jefferson county, where he went to in vestigate the killing of a negro. The killing occurred Thursday night, but ow- ing to the remote locality of Sumter the coroner was not notified of the affair un- til yesterday afternoon.
 The two negro participants in the shoot ing are said to have been aggrieved at each other for several months, and the trouble Thursday night was the culmina- tion of the old trouble One of the ne- Eroes was armed with a Winchester rifle and the other with revolver of large caliber.
 When tho shooting began it seems that the negro with the rife got in the first shot and mortally wounded his opponent but the other negro fired with his revolver and dangerously wounded his antagonist. The man with the rife then beat the other negro over the head with it until the stock was broken off,
 The negro who was shot with the rife died shortly after the trouble. The other negro is mortally wounded. it is believed. and will be brought to Birmingham this morning for surgical attention.

 Yesterday was one of the most dis agreeable days of the season, the cold rain and high wind forming & combin- ation which many people feared to tackle. There were many people on the streets, it is true, and a busy, noisy, bustling crowd 1t was, but a majority of the individuals to be seen after g o'clock were only human noise machines. Armed with bells. tin horns, fire crack CTS and other instruments of torture however, these people contributed much levity to Christmas eve. Between il 80 and 12 o'clock the streets were the scene of considerable disorder, fireworks and pistols being discharged freely despite the mayors proclamation and the chief of polices order against such conduct within the fire limits.
 The street cars were operated on all lines until 1 o'clock but the late cars did comparatively little business, peo- pie who had delayed their shopping un- til the eleventh hodr' having quit the streets for their homes.

 The express office has done perhaps a larger business than in any previous year. The people of Birmingham have re- membered their country kin, apparently, as thousands of Christmas packages have been sent throughout the state. And just as many. if not more. have been re- ceived. The wagons of the company, loaded to the brims, have threaded their ways through the streets of the business section as overloaded "schooners," just able to move

solicited, as it Is pointed out that the children of the poor will appreciate more the necessities of life than useless toys What s considered Rs an excellent plan Is to place one of a pair of stockings within the other, filling the double stock ing with useful gifts. It is further sug- gested that card bearing the age and sex of the child for which the gift Is in- tended be pinned on each stocking.
 Some 300 tickets have been issued to the Christmas tree, and the occasion will doubtless be success. The recipients of the dinner baskets distributed yesterday were each rendered the number of tickets desired for their children in this manner insuring that only needy and de- serving children will receive the benefit of the presents.
 The general pubic is coming more and more to realize that the work of the Sal- vation army is most potent factor in dis tributing the benefits of charity among the poorer classes of the city. Cooperation with the army is at this time more exten- sive than ever. At any rate. the needs of the destitute have this Christmas not been allowed to pass unnoticed.
