CROWDS
AT BAND CONCERT

1.-THE thing that interested me most to-
day was sitting in Capitol park and
watching the crowds" said AL Wilson.
the clothing man. yesterday. "A crowd
has always fascinated me and l think
those that attend the concerts in the park
are the most clearly defined of any crowd
that l ever saw. 1t Is very easy to single
out those who came only for the music.
They are marked by strict attention to tho
band and frowns of annoyance pass over
their faces when some others not so con-
siderate make q noise.
stroll. They seem to be unable to keep
still or let anyone else do so. They walk
around the park and watch others. Then
there are the boys who come to see the
girls, and the girls who come to see the
boys. Both usually are pretty well mixed
before the end of the concert. Yes, the
crowds at the concert were decidedly the
most interesting thing to me today

WOULD BRING AEROPLANE
TO THE BIG STATE FAIR

"Orville and Wilbur Wright themselves
do not give exhibitions any more. They
devote their time to the manufacture of
the machines and as result every ma
chine they have turned out has proved
to be capable of standing the strains and
doing what Is claimed for 1t.
II hope to be able to arrange for an
exhibition at the State Fair in Birming-
ham. 1t would be one of the biggest
drawing cards the management could Sc
cure.
by the way" continued Mr.. Jackson,
IT want to say something about Birmng-
hanD Tt has been five years since I was
here and in all of my travels l have
never seen such a marvellous change as
has taken place in Birmingham since
that time. I used to know the city
fairly well, but when l came downtown
from the new Terminal station today I
was completely turned around. 1 had to
get a man to direct me to the old depot
and from there I got my bearings. There
is certainly a marvellous change

TOO MANY BOy5 ON
STREETS AT NIGHT

IT have been trying to understand what
hold the street kids have on the law
which allows boys of very tender ages
to remain on the streets from morning
to midnight" said ]. F. Staley yesterday.
Il am no advocate of a curfew law or
anything like that, but when l see boys
aged from 5 years to 10 years on the
streets until midnight and later l wonder
where the fault Is.
Last night l was standing down town
waiting for a late car and | counted no
less than five boys who were not over 10
years of age walking around the streets
with no outward desire to go home. This
condition should not be allowed in any
city the size of Birmingham. There Is
no city In America that allows the boys
to stroll around at such hours except
Birmingham that I have ever heard of.
The larger cities have kind-hearted police
men who will gently indicate to the kids
that 1t Is time to go home along about
8 o'clock, and they go. But here the
youngsters parole the streets until mid
night.
ut may be possible that my observa-
lions have been of extreme cases, but
doubt 1t. This has been noticed time and
time again I am very much Interested
in the boys of Birmingham and would
like to see them all grow up to be use
full men. We have leading men In this
town who were former Iiewsboys. The
youngsters, however, in this day and
time who does not hit the bed along about
o'clock has no very bright chances or
becoming a leader in any movement for
the betterment of his home town or the
community at large
ITO a casual observer my complaint
may seem to be frivolous, but I am sure
there is no question which should re-
ceive more careful attention from the
Boys club officers and the authorities
than this one where boys roam the dark
ened streets and alleys at a time when
every peaceful man should be thinking of
his home unless there Is business that
demands his attention"

REPRESENTATIVE OF WRIGHT
BROS. HERE TO CONSULT WITH
OFFICERS ABOUT GIVING AN Elk
HIBITION IN BIRMINGHAM

Thomas P. jackson, representing the
Wright Brothers, reached Birmingham
yesterday to consult with officers OF the
Alabama State Fair about bringing some
flying machines to Birmingham In Octo-
Der during the big show.
1.-The aeroplane Is proving the biggest
attraction that can be procured all over
the country" said Mr.. Jackson last
night. 1--WE have seven men who operate
them and 1t Is going to keep these men
busy to fill all the engagements that
we have made for this fall. We have
little trouble in making the arrange
ments, because people have learned that
the Wright machines will fly and that
they will not be disappointed when they
go to see an exhibition.

ALMOST HAD FROST
HERE SIX YEARS AGO

81 have been thinking today how
much cooler weather we have had here
just six years ago than we have been
experiencing recently" said Juds 2
Samuel l.. Weaver.
ION August 27, 1904, the temporal
ture in Birmingham came very near
bringing us frost. The mercury began
to drop fast on the afternoon of the
26th, and on the morning of the 27th
we were all shivering and suffering
Overcoats were In evidence all the fore
noon of that day."

LIKES THE IDEA OF
MEMORIAL SERVICES

"I believe" said MAJ. J. Q. Smith of
the First artillery, that the custom
of holding an annual memorial service
TO memorabilia those soldiers who died
during the Spanish American war, and
have died since, which was inaugurated
by Capt. Hughes B. Kennedy, and has
since been held regularly by Company
G, is a fine idea
"I think, however, that 1t should be a
Jefferson County National Guard move
ment, and that hereafter We should In
clude all the departed members of the
guard in the county in the honored roll,
paying special tribute to those who may
have passed away during the year.
