OPERATOR GIVES
 4 BRIEF ACCOUNT
Keen Sense of Hearing and Ro-
 bust Health Required
CHEERFULLY GIVES FACT
Emenations From Powerful Spark Are Detrimental to Nervous System,
 Causing illness

Alfred E. Arnold was born in Chicago
 Ill, and took up the study of wireless tel
 egraphy about five years ago and is now
 employed on an ocean steamer The duties of a wireless operator requires a keen sense of hearing and robust health at all times. The emanations from tue spark are detrimental to a healthy nerve, as is the continued strain on the hearing and the necessity of working days and nights without sleep, by reason of dis tressed vessels requiring the attention of the wireless operator, especially in rough water.
 T was In a totally run down condi ton, no appetite, headache, and hearing bad I was afraid I would have to give up my vocation of wireless operator until heard of "Tona Vita" and commenced taking it about ten days ago. The results obtained were remarkable, and I feel better than at any time in life; in fact. completely cured. I can cheerfully rec ommend this medicine to any one.'
 One of the representatives who are meeting the public in Birmingham and explaining the nature of the new tonic, said: We are receiving inducements from scores of men and women of un- questioned integrity in Birmingham. who have found 'Tona Vita all we claim, but we are especially glad to receive state ments of this character from men and women who are so well and favoraby known as Mr. Arnold.
 We want the men and women of this city who are suffering with what is called 'run-down condition to try this medicine If the results are not entirely satisfac- tory we refund the price paid for the medicine. We know we have the greatest tonic ever offered the public of this coun- try, but we can't prove this to an indi- vidual unless he or she Is willing to try it. Our time in Birmingham Is limited so that we are anxious to have as many people as we can eonvenently talk to call during the next few days We are meeting a great many people and the numbers are increasing each day, hut when we realize how many debilitated nervous people there are in this big city who would be so greatly benefited by 'rona Vita 1t seems positively wicked that either through carelessness or skep tcism they do not try this tonic."
 These representatives are on hand to meet the public from a. m. to D. m. The sale of this new medicine is now the biggest thing of the kind ever seen in Birmingham, and each succeeding day marks an inerease of interest. "Tona Vita Is proving a complete revelation to the thousands of half sick, run down, list less men and women in the city who did not know exactly what was the matter4 ! with them. Ii would be worth anybody's time to visit the Collier Drug company, | 109-1l1 North goth street, and inspect the large number of testimonials from those who have been benefited by the new tonic | and who have undoubted faith in it as | a remedy of unusual value.

Boston, April S.-A group of tired, hun- gry passengers of the Merchants and Miners steamer Ontario, which was driven ashore burning on Montauk Point, L.. l.. early today, arrived here late today from New London. Conn.,. where they were landed by a tug. Most of them were without baggage. Some had dressed so hurriedly in the excitement that they had scarcely sufficient clothing
 When the Ontario was run ashore she carried 32 passengers, p first and second cabin, and 10 Italians In the steerage All but two of the passengers were brought to Boston.
 Despite their trying experience they took the situation philosophically.
 Tt is an unavoidable misfortune,'' said one, while others said they believed no one was to blame. There was no panic. except among the steerage passengers, who, not understanding English, could not be camed and directed. They were forced by the ships crew into the sa- loon. Some of them insisted on running on deck and few tried to climb the masts, thinking the ship was going to sink.
 The women," said H. w, Sanborn of Dover, N H., behaved better than the men, in my opinion, and they are deserv-' ing of much praise. Of course, we all got little excited, but who wouldn't? If there were any heroes on that boat they were Ingalls,, the plucky wireless opera tor, and Chief Engineer Disney. Both of them stuck to their posts until their duty was done. and they were mostly responsi- ble for our safety.
 That the fire started before the ship left Baltimore was the opinion expressed by D. c. Cannon, one of the passengers. Cannon declares he saw stevedores, who were slowing the cotton. smoking, and it is his theory that smouldering match or cigarette started @ blaze before the steamer left port.

Birmingham, April, S-G p. m)-Fair weather prevailed during the past 24 hours over most sections of the country, cx- cept New England and the middle Atlantic coast, and a narrow strip of the west gulf coast. Rainfall amounts were not important except at the Texas stations, where nearly or quite an inch fell.

Ashylle. April S.-6Special.)--It Is be- yond question that the St. Clair dele gation to the state convention are solidly in favor of eleetlng Colonel Mallory as chairman of the convention. A great deal is being said about urging the name of Colonel Mallory as chairman of the next state convention to be held in Montgom- cry, and the same seems to meet with the hearty~approval of a very large num- Der of democrats in this county. Among other things it is thought that if Colonel Mallory Is made chairman this would tend to harmonize certain factions in the dem ocratic party.

Harmony Evidently Desired

"The talk about factional fights in the state convention comes from those who are not primarily interested in Underwood. His real friends will be in overwhelming majority and will not permit any personal ambitions or jeai- ousies or local factional differences to play any part in the actions of the con vention.
 The real friends of Underwood de- sire a harmonious convention. The air ing of factional differences will spread abroad the impression mat the state is not solidly behind Underwood. There is a movement under cover to elect delegates who are avowedly for un- derwood but who al heart prefer an- other candidate. No such treachery will be tolerated by the convention Most of the delegates are true and loyal sup porters of Underwood and they will not stand for any covert and disloyal pro- ceedings.

the elements had been kind to the
Colts yesterday in this city there would
probably have been a different tale
10 tell. Just as the sixth inning
had started and Griffin had hit for
a homer, with Burke hammering the
ball hard. the rain came down in
torrents and the Colts had TO go over
with the game against them to the
tune of 3 to /.
It was tough luck, bat Charlie
Bland was tickIed. and so were the
fans. Up TO that time the Colts had
made little Roadway in the swattins
end of the contest. Three small BIN
giles was the total--one each by GRIT
I'm. FIournoy and McComas.
They netted run, and that was all
before the elements got into play.
The run was made by Graf, who
had crapt around 10 third. en- his hit.
and who scored on Britton's wild
pitch The Portsmouth runs were
made on timely hits.
Strain looked after Maths :erri-
tory, pending the adjustment OF
