BALD EAGLE CAUGHT

large bald-headed eagle was caught near Johns last night and brought to Bes- semer today and exhibited on Nineteenth street It appears that the eagle had been preying on young animals and fowls iu the Johns neghborhood for several weeks and a number of futile efforts were made to kill the bird. A couple or days a eo the bird caught and killed a young goat and at that time it was fired on but escaped A large trap was set near the carcass and the eagle was caught when it returned. The eagle measured six feet eleven inches from tip to tip and was one of the largest eagles ever seen III this district. It was taken to Birmlng- ham, where it was sold.

brought to bear on the commissioner of public safety on the Sunday nov ing picture proposition. The first in-
 ti1nation that he was wavering toward the olden blue laws of ancient times was when he popped the regulation" ordinance on, his colleagues at yester- days commission conference.
 Strange to say there was no caustc comment on the part of any commits sioner. The doctrine, thus far pursued by the commission of ''let a man have enongh rope and he will eventually break his neck" evidently persisted in holding sway over the thoughts and actions of those present. There was little comment the proposed ordinance.
 SOME OF ITS PROVISIONS
 It is a great ordinance For instance: f the hero or heroine of the ancient and honorable performance, either on stage or screen, happens to slap the face of the wicked villain during the course of the play. this very act is in violation of the ordinance. If there is a murder, attempt to murder, any hanging, lynching or execution; if any person is choked, beaten, stabbed or clubbed, except when such scene is depicted in a ludicrous or comi- cal manner: any scene depicting drunk ellUGSSs dIlN SdliiDllllS OI Gdpdl6b SNCiSs and scene depicting any maternity ques- tion: any scene depicting domestic or con- iugal infdelty. or of any immoral na- ture on the part of husband or wife, or any vampire picture, or any bawdy house scene, or any immoral house of any im- moral character, it is a violation of the law
 It is useless to print the many other specifications concerning the character of the performance to be shown the pub lie. There are a score or more other stipulations. All of them are expressly wicked, according to the ordinance. and literally mean that none of the emotions common in everyday life will be tol- erated.
 Mir Barber places a special part in the ordinances to be played by the commits sioner of public safety" The ordinance provides that the commissioner of public safety, or ''any other duly qualified per son or persons, may cut out'sueh pictures or scenes"

It is understood that the attorney general commenced mandamus proceedings against the Morgan county law and equity. court and that the supreme court rendered decision that all judges in the diff ferent courts would hold on until the time of taking office in January. The decision of the supreme court means, according to lawyers here, that while the city court of Bessemer as court of that name will be abolished, the court will continue as court No. ol the Tenth judicial circuit and Judge J. c B. Gwin will be the judge as in the city court, taking office in Jan uary.
 In recorders court this morning Henry Johnson, negro. arrested seV- eral days ago on a charge or Vlolat- ing the prohibition law, was given hearing and was fined $102.5o, lnciud- ing costs and 1S0 days extra on the streets of Bessemer.

UTILE DULCE HAS BREAKFAST

In accordance with the spirit Of
the season Utile Dulce Literary So
ciety entertained the new girls Of
the College Department at break
fast on the banks of Silver Greek
Monday morning. The GOODNESS Of
the morning which at first made
sweater necessary was soon driven
away by the warmness of the well
come given by the hostesses. On
the rocks, Berea's historic place for
such occasions, hot and Stimulating
breakfast was served. After-break-
fast speeches had to be cut short on
account of other engagements. The
president gave glowing words Of
welcome, setting forth in a clear
and concise manner the aims Of the
society during the coming year.
The entire hour was replete with
jollity and gayety of the most whole
some nature and at the appointed
time all returned to Ladies Hall feel
ing they were just beginning great
years work.

CHAPEL SERVICES

Sunday night Doctor Raine spoke
to the young people Of Upper Chap
81 in a very thoughtful and earnest
manner. The old students were
glad to have the opportunity to heaT
the speaker again, and the new stu
dents were equally glad after the
sermon. Doctor Raine delivered a
simple Gospel discourse, treating
the incident when Nicodemus, the
leader Of the most highly educated
Jews. came TO Jesus by night to
question Him as TO His ministry.
The address gave a new interpreted
ton of this incident to most OF those
present. The students who have
been assigned to Upper Chapel for
Sunday evening worship are looking
forward TO these occasions with
great interest. They will be a
source of great inspiration and help
to every one.

DORMITORY RECEPTIONS

Monday afternoon the young men
of the Institution held an open
house for the young ladies. From
$3.50 until $50 all doors were open
for the fair ones to come and go at
pleasure. The receptions at all of
the dormitories were of practically
the same nature, the one at Pear
sons Hall being typical.
On arriving at Pearsons Hall the
young women of the College Depart
ment were made welcome in a hap
py speech by Professor Messner. He
was followed by Miss Jameson, the
latest addition to the Music School
Faculty, who gave splendid piano
solo. The visitors were then es-
corted thru the various rooms of the
home of the College men. Many
were the remarks as to their neat
ness and their betrayal of studious
occupants.
Later every one gathered in the
Lobby to listen to a short but inter-
esting program. Songs by Miss Cor
nelius and Professor Phalen and
readings by Doctor Raine and Mr..
Williams were the principal num-
bers of the program. David Hopkins
was master of ceremonies and well
exemplified the genial spirit of the
College men. At the conclusion of
the program delightful refresh
ments were served, after which the
visitors were escorted to their home
at Ladies Hall. The young men Of
the Institution appreciate an Oppor-
tunity to entertain the young women
and only regret that these opportu-
mites come so seldom.

PI EPSILON PI ENTERTAINS

Saturday night the members OF
Pi Epsilon Pi Literary Society en-
tertained the new girls of the Col
lege Department at the Girls Gym
nasium. Games of various kinds
and descriptions were played, being
supplemented by readings and other
humorous stunts by different peo-
pie, both old and new. At intervals
refreshments were served which
added to the gayety of the entire
occasion. Whatever had been their
experiences during the hour, at its
conclusion the new girls felt at home
with their hostesses as they had not
felt before. The great coy fireplace
with its sparkling embers added TO
the warmth of the occasion and the
good cheer of the hour will not be
soon forgotten.

sow BELLY ROAST

Friday evening the members OF
Phi Delta Literary Society. as first
step toward a better acquaintance
ship and a stronger union between
the young men Of the College De-
partment, entertained all the new
men Of the department at a SOW
belly roast on the banks Of Silver
Greek. To many this was an en-
tirely novel experience. yet the
camp supper cooked on the rocks
soon found its way near to the
hearts of every one, and the remain
der of the evening was spent in
singing and speech making Of the
most genial sort. Several faculty
members were present whose after
dinner speeches brought forth hearty
applause and paved the way for the
less experienced speakers who fol-
lowed. Every one was conscious OF
a great fellowship which, il is to be
hoped, will bind the men together
thruOut the year. There is some
thing about a mixture of eggs, SCOT,
meat, ashes, jam and burnt fingers
that binds men together, altho they
were strangers short time before.

Professor Smith as superintendent,

ed Christian and faced death with
great heroism. The end was peace

The first meeting of the Young

Ladies Hall Sunday evening at $3.50
o'clock. The leader was Miss Helen
Bundy. After some little time had

topic for the evening, Choose Ye.'
She presented the many opportuni-
ties that lie before young women
in the Institution during the coming
year, there being many more than
any one person could possibly i'm

great number of things offered each
