 Good Work Here

This morning the Rev R. | Walston will preach his farewell sermon at Wes- ley Chapel church, leaving early next week for his new appointment at New Decatur. It is with the sincere regrets of his congregation that Rev. Walston has been called to another church.

Walston has been Instrumental especially in reaching and influencing the young men. Every department of the church came in for it's share of the faithful service of the pas- tor and his family.

BALL|NGTON BOOTH
 SPEAKS HERE TODAY
Head of the Volunteers of America Will Make Two
 Addresses

General Ballington Booth, president of the Volunteers of America, will be in the city today, and will speak this morning and this evening at two of the proni- nent churches of Birmingham.
 This morning General Booth will address the congregation of the Second Presby- terian church at Tenth avenue and Twelfth street, south, and this evening will speak in the pulpit of the First Methodist church, Sixth avenue and Nine teenth street, north. A large attendance at both meetings Is anticipated as the general Is well known speaker and a prominent figure in the world of af- fairs.
 Ballington Booth Is a son of the late William Booth, the founder of the Saliva ton Army of tho World. He became estranged from his distinguished father some years ago on questions of policy regarding the Salvation Army and found- ed tho Volunteers of America, an asso- citation not unlike the Salvation Army, and of which he Is the president.
 When General Booth was seen at his hotel last evening he spoke very fav- orably of Birmingham and it's progress, which he has noted from time to time from the excellent reports received from the local organization of the Volunteers of America, which operate a working mems hotel on First avenue.

EXUM HAS HIS EYE
 ON FRUIT STANDS City Commission May Move
 Them From Sidewalks, TOO MUCH SPACE Plan May Be Decided Upon Whereby
 Fruit Men Will Pay Rent for Sidewalk Space Occupied
TOO MUCH SPACE

The owners of fruit stands on the city's streets will either pay for the space they now occupy or the streets will be cleared Of the stands, according to a programme that President Culpepper Exum of the commission, has outlined. The fruit stands that occupy promi- nent corners are said to be trespassing several feet upon the street space of the city and also to be paying heavy rent to tenants of down-town buildings. President Exum believes the city should collect for the space utilized just the same as any tenant or the streets should be used for the pedestrians only. At the suggestion of the city attorney the matter has been taken under ad- visement.
 It is probable that in the license sched- ule now being compiled the city will run the license up high enough to take in rent fee or If that is not done every fruit stand in the city will be removed from tho streets.
 The fruit dealers of Birmingham have long used the streets of Birmingham but from the determination of the com missioners that will not last very long. It is understood that Capt. Boyd, city attorney. is of the opinion that tho city would fare better to place the fruit dealers license rather high, instead of
 irving to collect straight rent. inasmueh as the city is not permitted to rent out tho highways of the city.

 The pressure is also lower throughout the gulf and south Atlantic states follow ing the passage of the high barometric area from it's position this morning in the southwest 10 the middle Atlantic states tonight.
 The general fall in the barometric press ure was attended by a general increase in cloudiness throughout the great central valleys and an increase of precipitation over the lower Missouri valley region today. Rain continued In southern 1exas and light amounts fell along the east Florida coast. General rams fell on the Rocky mountain and north Pacific states, the rain turning to snow in the more ele- vated regions.
 There will be q continued fall in the during Sunday. and the rise in the tenn perature that has been so very general east of the Rocky mountains during the past 2l hours will also continue. While there occurred less rainfall immediately to the westward of Alabama than might have been expected from the mornings map, it Is still probable that local rains will occur in this state Sunday, with the southeriy winds that will prevail

During this history of conflict with this terrible disease frequent consultations were held, but nothing checked the steady progress of her fnaledy. Not doubt had existed in the minds of her physicians or friends as to the nature of her disease, nor zs 10 It's fatal termination. The re- peated examination of har lungs indi- cated tho rapid strides with which she was nearing the end.
 Her phys clans were honored mem berg of the medical fraternity, in whom Mrs. Eberlein's husband and family had per- feet confidence. And the sorrow with which they listened to their decision that they had exhausted everything known tu them in vain for the relief of the wife and mother of the afflicted household can be better imagined then described. As IS common to this sort of patients, Mrs. Eberlein continued hopeful long after her attendants believed her to be beyond cure.
 I was practicing at the time in Pitts burg, and a fancy that I would be able to relieve her was, during her illness, re- peatedly expressed by Mrs. Eberlein, but 1t was regarded as the merezt whim; and, ls they were employing the best medical
 alent the city afforded. no attention was oaid to 1t. At last she became so weak and emaciated that an attendant was constantly at hand to lift her during the terrible coughing spells to which she was subject, and which were frequently fol- lowed by alarming sinking spells, during which she was often thought to be dying. It was during one of these frightful paroxysms when her husband was sup porting her tenderly and vainly trying to nalliate her sufferinRs that she again ex- pressed her belief that If pr. Hartman were sent for he could relieve her.
 Willing to indulge her in any wish. as she was thought to be dying by all. | was immediately sent for, but being very busy was not able to respond until late In the evening of the afternoon on which was sent for. It was not expected that she would survive until could reach htr home, but hope kept her alive until I came.
 It would be difficult to imagine more disccuraging case for a doctor to under take to cure than Mrs. Eberlein's at the moment of my first visit. Let me de- scribe her symptoms.
 A drawn. pinched countenance of a Aeathiy pailor, and livld lips. Sunken fixed staring eyes. with a giassy bright ,ess. Wasted in body to a mere shadow. Pulse wholly imperceptible at the wrist Rut the heart feebly fluttering. Extremi- .'es cold and clammy, finger nails blue. aresthing hurried and gasping. utterly exhausted and hopeless.

I have been practicing medicine since 1855. Most of that time I have been us Ing Pe-ru-na as my principal remedy. So many unexpected recoveries have been made by those for whom have preserih- ed Pe-ru-na that t would take large book to contain them all. They keep coming up to my mind one by one.

 Made By Old- Time Pe-ru-na

 After a nasty examination Of the cos@ I prescribed Pe-ru-na to be taken every hour, and if she was not bettar i1 fha morning to let me know.
 It was two weeks before I again heard frem the case. when the husband entered my office. radiant with joy, and, not waiting for the usual salutstions, ex- claimed: E ts
 Doctor. my wife is wenir
 "oh. no. you mean she Is betfer,'' re- piled. But the enthusiastic husband in- sisted that his wife was well and the heartiest eater at the table,
 The fact was that. while che had ma 10 astonishing Improvements she was obliged to continue the use of Pe-ru-na many months. In less than a year she was entirely well, and has remained go since, and her treatment from the be- ginning to the end was Pe-ru-na and nothing else. To have seen her at the time of the first visit 1t would have been iri- possible to believe that any medicine or other earthly power could have saved her.
 This case is no more unusual or aston ishing than great many others that my list contains, not only Of diseases of the lungs, but of all mucous surfaces.
 Cases of dyspepsia, diarrhea and dys- entery which have withstood all other treatment, have yielded at onco by the use of Pe-ru-na.
 Numerous cases of Bright's disease ef the kidneys. acute catarrh and rheuria- tism, female diseases, that had been treated locally for years. were instantly relieved and finally recovered by Pe-ru- na. In short. every disease affecting any mucous membrane Of the body that has not already gone beyond all earthly help. frequently makes astonishing recovery.
 As general tonic and appetizer Peru na has no superior. IL is certain renle- dy for worn-out or tired out human na- ture. Cases of nervous prostration, loss Of vitality and sieeolessness are all treated by Pe-ru-na with such undertaking sue- cess that wherever 1t Is used 1t ranks as the greatest tonic known
