The com mlttee was vested with the authority yes terday to make all the plans, appoint the do whatever it thought best to emphasize the movement to honor Dr. Handley as well as to extoll before the people of Bir mingham the vast good done here by the
 preacher whom it is proposed to honor. This meeting and the prior arrange

 Handley The meeting will probably be | held in one of the largest halls in the city. The committee will meet during the next
 few days to outline what is to be done at the meeting and to perfect other plans connected directly with this special oc- casion.
 In addition to the inauguration of this feature the directors yesterday attended to various other important matters con- nected with the Handley memorial move ment. The plan to erect in memory of pr. Handey some lasting memorial was set in active motion with the directors actions yesterday. Secretary John R. Hornady, who was an officer of Dr. Handeys church, was instructed to pre- pare 300 lists for contributions which will be sent out over the city properly ac- credited, and upon which the people of the city may make donations to the me
 moral. He will be assisted in this work by Dr. J. H. Phillips, the Rev. A. J. Dickinson and Rabbi Morris Newfeld. | A committee of which Dr. E. H.

This committee was appointed last night by Dr. Sholl, and consists of Rob ert Jemison, Sr., w. s. Brown, William Hood and J. R. Hornady. The address will deal with the entire history of Dr. Handley's work and point
 out in a forceful way why the peorle of this city should honor his memory by erecting the proposed memorial. This address will probably be ready in time for distribution at the services to be held New Years Day

 little doubt but that the S10,000 desired
