The Rescue Home for Fallen Girls has % girls and 10 infants in it.. The Industrial home is also giving a large number or men temporary work. The re- iigious services conducted in the street and in the hall at 214 North Twentieth street are well attended. The average attendance for the past three weeks has been oyer 1900 people a week. Quite a number have professed conversion and promised to live better lives. Friday night an intelligent man came to the hall who had contemplated suicide that night be- cause of domestic troubles, but the army service gave him hope for a better fu- ture. Two girls were taken from the street and sent to the Rescue home, and work has been found for them in places with Ettu tIlNiIOHi1t1ls <h Sicdt lluilDci oi men from all walks of life get stranded in a city of this size, and the army meet ings on the street and in the hall never ills to attract them; they come all dis couraged. and many times In utter dis pair, but the gospel of good cheer is the great factor used by the Salvation Army. and there are now several men temporarily at work in the army home for men. and they soon will be back in better places in life. Ensign and Mrs. Bouterse left host Of friends behind them in Chattanooga, but the local Sal vstion Army members gave them such a hearty reception, and the general public shows such practical interest in the good work that they represent, that they are glad that Birmingham is to be their home for some time to come.

Suit for Hearing Monday

Gadsden, October 21.-(Special)- The suit of the city of Gadsden against Alabama City, Gadsden and Attalla railway will come up for a hearing on Monday of the coming week. This is an action on the part of the city to man damus the street railway to lay the proper rails and pave the street be- tween the rails on Chestnut and Third streets in this city. The city passed ordinances to this effect some years ago and went ahead and paved the streets In question with brick. but the company refused to do it's part. The city then passed ordinances making it impossible for the street car compasy to run it's cars on these streets until they were first paved as required and for more than a year there have been no cars running on those streets. The case has been to the supreme court once and decided in favor of the city, and sent back for a new hearing. If the city secures an indorsement of its contention this time it may still be pos sibie for the company to appeal once more and 1t is not anticipated that the matter will be fully settled for some time to come
