 Weather

Despite the threatening clouds which furnished last nights heavy rain, crowd of three or four thousand people attend ed the informal opening of East Lake mark yesterday afternoon. All during the afternoon cars going to East Lake were crowded to their capacity, and many people remained at the park even after it commenced raining late in the afternoon.
 Nearly all the amusement devices were in operation yesterday. and were well patronized by eager fun-seekers, who have no other means of recreation during the Sunday afternoons of sum- mer
 Many boats were rented, the bathing house was open to invasion, the minia- ture railroad was in operation and so also were the merry-go-round, roller coaster. scenic railway, elevated tram way, human roulette and other conces- sions.
 Under the new management of Hollis M. Newsome. the well-known theater man, the park is expected to become more popular than ever this summer. A company headed by MT. Newsome has leased the park with all concessions from R. D. Burnett. president of the old company. and many innovations and improvements are planned to make the resort doubly attractive. An improve ment was noted yesterday in the way of a concert band of fifteen pieces, which furnished the open air music for the oc- casion.
 The formal opening of the park will not take place until next Thursday af- ternoon, when delegates to the National Good Roads Congress will be entertained there at barbecue. Preparations are being made by the park management to accommodate great crowd on that date .5'ze M ;'9-~ ss7 -s ss

BIRMINGHAM TRUST HAS STOOD
 SERENE THROUGH ALL PANICS

in its policy from it's organization. It's greatest efforts have been directed to- ward the upbuilding of men and enter prises. No one of it's officers or di- rectors Is a promoter or engaged in the promotion of any enterprise Their entire time and every effort is given exclusively 10 the interests of tho stockholders and depostors.
 The founders of the Birmingham Trust company conceived in it's earliest days that the field was ripe for an in- stitution of this character, which would sustain with strong hand the legiti- mate business of the district. This ured growth of the district and the com- pany.
 Steady, Constant In It's Growth
 There has been nothing phenominal in it's accumulation of business, but it's patronage has been constantly mount Ing upward. Each year its increase has been in just such a measure as to permit its officers to master and handle it in an intelligent and suc- cessful manner.
 In trying times of a close money mar ket the customers of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company have felt cir security In its inherent strength and the wisdom of its policy which en- abled 1t to protect the enterprises It's patrons have built up.
 Since its organization this institu- tion has recognized two duties in bank ing above all others-the interests of It's stockholders and depositors. It stands as a monument to the rugged honesty of those who founded 1t.

Robert Ismmet Nolan, son of MT. and Mrs. J. P. Nolan, one of Birming- hams most popular young men, will graduate from the law school at the University of Michigan the latter part of next month.
 The picture is taken from a group of the law graduates. Nolan was ad- mitted to practice upon state examina- tion while at home last summer and he will probably enter the practice of law here in Birmingham.

RARAroNeA cocoANurs.

San Francisco Chronicles The CO.
coanut and copra industries of the
United States and the shipping in
terests of the port of San Francisco
will be augmented by the handling of
100000 cocoanuts yearly from Rara-
tonga, in the Cook group of the South
Sea Islands, according to statement
made by Captin c. A. Lunn to the
Chronicle yesterday.
Captain Lunn is the second Amer
lean who has ever made a stay Of any
duration at the islands, which are in
habited by 1000 Maori and a score of
European planters engaged in the
banana, cOcoanut and orange trade. As
result of his recent trip, the fruit
imports of the islands will probably
develop into competition with those OF
Manila. Shipments will be made every
tweuty-eight days from Raratonga and
Tahiti in the islands to San Francisco.
Boats en- route from Auckland, New
Zealand, Will handle the Consignments.
While in the Society group last june,
which are the only French possessions
Of the South Seas, Captain Lunn at
| tended the first trial of a white man
that has been recorded in that latitude.
| W. j. Wiggmore was found guilty Of
murder and banished from the islands.
The attorneys and trial Judge came
from Auckland, a five days trip, to
handle the case. Wiggmore was a
wealthy plantation owner.

the victim is unable to realize his
finish until absolute oblivion con
fronts him
The Ninth Infantry the only Amer
lean regiment to see service in China
during the Boxer uprising, and the
Seventh Cavalry, Clusters old regi-
mcnt, are the only regiments of the
United States army which lay claim
to a distinction for individual and
conspicuous service as regimental
entities. Whereas every British and
most of the continental regiments
have their own traditional music,
their own regimental tunes, the army
Of the United States has never even
developed these little ceremonial
tunes. This is true with the excep-
ton Of the Seventh and the Tenth
Cavalry The old Custer command
has used "GaTyowen' for its trot
past music from time immemorial,
and the Tenth, the "Black Hussars
Of San Juan Hill" play "Theren Be
a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight"
when they pass in review.
"The "honors to the colors' are a
part of the custom of the service.
Most of these honors are today en-
bodied in the regulations, still a few
of them are unwritten and therefore
more rigid in their observance.
It is not obligatory that officers or
men uncoN er to the ordinary regimen

quarters. The post or regimental
colors are, on the other hand, accord
ed every honor. When on parade or
at reviews the colors pass the review
ing party for the first time they are
accorded the conventional sword ga
Lutte. This is the regulation. The
second time, however, that the col
ors pass the commander it is the Gus
tom for every member of the review
ing party from the commander down
to uncover.
Another army custom is that the
colors of the regiment, the standard
of a cavalry squadron, or the garrison
flag shall never touch the ground.
When retreat has sounded and to the
droning notes Of THE Star Spangled
Banner" the flag descends from its
staff, the color guard stands ready TO
rescue the banner from contact with
the earth. 1t is grasped quickly and
as quickly folded in the arms of the
corporals The custom of the serv-
ice even DEGREES how the flag shall
be folded. Four times the long way

Its first official recognition as an
army custom is described by Captain
Moss i'm the following paragraph:

enemy, and it occurred to Captain
Tidball that Taps would be the
most appropriate ceremony that could
be substituted. The custom thus or
tginated was taken IN throughout the
Army of the Potomac and was finally
confirmed by orders"
There is no other call so beautiful,
so significant as the sweet wailing
notes of Taps" Like all the famil-
lar bugle calls of the army it has its
lines. They are:
Fades the light;
And afar

CHURCH EOIF|CE
New Forest Hill Presbyterian
Structure Necessitated by
Growth of Congregation.

The recent trip of the Rev. Frederick
W. Lewis to Rochester to inspect the
outline Of q model church edif1ce and
the fact that a joint meeting of the Of
fetal boards OF his church, the Forest
Hill Presbyterian, was held on
Wednesday evening, make It quite
clear that the new 100000 church i'd

Dr.. lewis and the church officials viii
be erected next sprins on the vacant
corner plot adjoining the present edi-
fee. at Heller parkway and Highland
avenue, this city. The need of the new
structure has become imperative, as
tho flock has outgrown h present
church.
DR.. Lewis came here in November,
1e0e, from the First Presbyterian
Church at Saginaw, Mich. During his
short pastorate here he has added over
100 new members TO the roll. The total
enrolment is owe 800 and beyond the
seating capacity OF the present church.
The president of the board Of trus-
tees, Elias G.. Heller, ia a warn ad-
vocate OF q new and more adaptable
sanctuary, n his associates also favor
a building that will meet the needs OF
the congregation. During the past
year the remodeling of the present
church has cost over s., 800, and, despite
the extensive improvements, has failed
to meet the growing requirements. AS
DR.. Lewis expresses it:
Surely. we will not be disposed TO
stand still and not develop"
II is understood that II is the inten-
ton of the church board to convert the
present structure into a Sabbath school
and to mako It adaptable for the social
needs OF the church societies. While
no definite plans have been considered
as yet on constructive lines, II is said
that the proposed church will beAof
