ID ORGANIZE BOYS BAND IN BESSEMER
 - Meeting Held at St. Aloysius Church Yesterday BAPTIST EXERCISES Professor Persons Returns from Au- burn, Where He Completed the Analysis of Bessemer's Wa
 ter-Report TomorpOw
EXERCISES

Bessemer, July 2.-(Special.)-The trus- tees of St. Aloysius church met this morn ing after services at the school house for the purpose of furthering the St. Aloysius boys band, organized last Sunday. The band Is composed of Is Catholic boys and several members of other denominations. It Is the intention of the board of trus- tees to encourage boys, regardless of de- nomination, who are unsteady inclined, to join the band, which they propose to help and encourage in every possible way.
 Professor Lynch has kindly consented to take charge of the new organization and will give each boy individual instruction several times a week. This is regarded as quite a sacrifice on the part of Professor Lynch as he gives his valuable services without remuneration, which is much ap- preciated by the boys as well as the off cers of the church.
 Other business transacted by the board
 included the organization of a total ab stinance society for men and boys. Only total abstainers are permitted to join this society, which is natured and fostered by the church.

DISPOSE OF 327O
 CRIMINAL CASES
The Records Indicate That Judges Will Soon Catch
 Up With Docket

2 An investigation of the records of the Cahalan, assisted by the deputy clerks reveals the fact that since last January the number of cases tried and disposed of reach 3270. The majority of these were misdemeanor cases and cases appealed from the city recorders court, but nevertheless a record number of capital cases were taken up for hearing
 The capital and ton-capital felony cases have nearly all been disposed of while a large humber of misdemeanor and ao- peal cases still remain to be tried. Dur
 ing one week when Judge Cahalan was presiding in the first division of the crinl- inal court record of 1l capital cases were tried and disposed of, the number of convictions secured being nine. Since January 1 more capital cases have been tried and disposed of than during the whole of last year or the year before. Already the capital dockets set for the next term have been completed, this work having been done last Saturday following the signing of the minutes of the court by Judges Cahalan and Weaver The fall term of the criminal court will begin with the week of September 25 and the first case to be taken up for trial Is that of the young fireman, William Nabers, charged with the killing of two men by train wrecking. This case has been passed several times on account of the states unreadness, but the last time a peremp- tory setting was ordered by Judge Weaver.
 The intention of the court Is to try to catch up with the docket during the next term If possible, and to judge from the work of the past two terms it Is not alto gether improbable that this can be &C., complished. As evidence of the courts desires and plans in this respect it is learned that the jury for the next term has already been drawn, though it has not yet been put in possession of the clerk.

By MYRTLE MILES.

One of these would also be becoming to MT. A. H. Ford. Attention is especially called to the lovely collection of negligee shirts, which, in view of the golf tour nament at the Country club tomorrow, deserve especial patronage. As they launder nicely. the same shirt may be thriftily used later for the Southern club barbecue.
 It Is suggested that the Growlers' club or some similar organization purchase shirts in a body, in this way preserving a sembance of uniform without the ostentation suggested by an entire cos- tune of similarity. Should it be decided by the Growlers to adopt this plan 1t is respectfully requested that they be on hand early so that all may be served.
 The sale will be unlimited and 1t is hoped that every man of fashion in the city will be present. MT. B. M. Allen, who has already won a reputation as "the man with thousand shirts" now has an opportunity to become the man with a thousand and one. MT. w. M. Drennen and MT. George Ward can easily add to already handsome wardrobes, and Mir Bradley Saunders, who has so often been called the Beau Brumme of Bir- mingham society, will emphasize his at tractiveness with these becoming bits of apparel. Bachelors and benedicts, one and all, if you wish to be fashionable buy a shirt at The Age-Herald's auction today.
