Last year, after having niy little girl treated by a very protaineut physician for an obsti nate case of eczema, I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afforded that we discarded the physician’s prescription and relied en tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Puls. When we commenced with the Cuticura Rem edies her feet and limbs were covered with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. “In July of this year a little boy in our family poisoned his hands and arms with poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointed them with the Cuticura Oint ment, and then gave him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up; so we have lots of cause for feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies. We find that the Cuticura Remedies are a valuable household standby, living an we do twelve' miles from a doctor, and where it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol lars to come up on the mountain. Respectfully, Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas.

The Birmingham iron market has been exceedingly quiet this week. Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati re port tor the current week follows: There has not been any marked change in the pig Iron market in this section during the past week. The tonnage of orders booked is about the same quan tity as has been entered during the pre vious weeks in the past month. A very largo percentage of the furnaces In the country are now running, and have been making full output, which they are ship ping as fast as made. It is surprising that the demand has kept up so as to keep the stocks of iron on furnace yard at a minimum quantity. We know that several furnaces are somewhat behind on shipments, and in eaoli case the buyers seem to be in urgent need of the iron, showing that consumption is keeping up, and they are using the iron bought as fast as received. There are a number of moulders out on strikes at different cities over the country, and if they ggt their difficulties settled it will no doubt have the effect of Increasing the con sumption over what it is at present. The best Connellsvtlle foundry cokes are still commanding price of $3 per ton at the ovens for delivery during the last half. There appears to be a shortage of good Connellsville furnac^ coke, so that prices on both grades are rilling very firm at the present time. Matthew, Addy & Co.’s Cincinnati re port says: , Business during the past week has been confine^ principally to small lots for prompt shipment. Sales of this descrip tion have, however, been rather numer ous, and the aggregate tonnage is satis factory. Iron is moving freely from all directions, and the consumption Is larger today than ever before. The number of requests for hurry shipment indicate that melters are living on the ragged edge, and only buying for their immediate wants. In spite of these facts it seems Impossible to awaken any great amount of enthusiasm among purchasers for the second half. Several of the largest con sumers have expressed their willingness to buy as soon as they can get prices to suit them, but furnace men are holding firmly for their schedule quotations. Sev eral deals for special irons are pending, and will doubtless be closed before the week is over. The coke market is decidedly more ac tive. Inquiries are more numerous, and a considerable interest is being shown. Prices are not extraordinarily strong, however, and range from $2.75 to $2.90 for Connellsville and Wise county prod ucts for last half shipment. ONE MAN IS KILLED IN FREIGHT WRECK FOUR ARE INJURED IN COLLISION OF FREIGHT TRAINS ON SOUTH ERN RAILWAY EARLY YESTER DAY MORNING. One man was killed and four were In jured as the result of a head-end freight collision yesterday morning on the South ern at Bryan Hill, about twenty-five miles west of Birmingham, on the Co lumbus line. Trains No. 73 and 84 col lided. William E. Lock, fireman on No. 73. was killed. He lived at Avondale, nnd the remains were brought to Birmingham yesterday morning and carried to the un dertaking establishment of Lige Loy. The Injured were; Ben Vaughn, engineer on No. 73, lives at 2515 First avenue; not fatal. R. B. Green, 2930 First avenue, Injuries not serious. M. J. Rodman, Avondale, external in juries, not fatal. T. M. Armbuster. Avondale, brakeman on train No. 73, cuts and bruises about face. None of the Injured men are fatally hurt. They were brought to Birmingham and Green, Vaughn and Rodman were carried to Copeland's Infirmary on Fourth avenue. It was stated at the Infirmary last night that all the Injured men were resting easily, and that they would prob ably recover. As soon as a re— of t'he accident reached Birmingham yesterday morning a wrecker was sent to the scene, and the track was cleared as rapidly as possible. It was clear yesterday afternoon. Both engines were badly demolished and some cars broken up. Train No. 73 was In charge of Conductor J. R. Haraison and Engineer Vaughn. The other train was in charge of Conductor C. S. Davis and Engineer Crowley. No one on that train was Injured. COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. About Twenty Candidates Will Be In itiated Tonight by B’ham Council. Birmingham council No. 172, United Commercial Travelers, will Initiate twenty new members tonight when the monthly meeting will be held at 21314 North Nine teenth street. Tlift Is the largest number of candidates to be Initiated at any one meeting of the council. Following Is a list of the candidates; Lamar Smith. W. M. Armstrong. T. I. Landers. E. P. Kirkpatrick, W. L. Wright, J. W. and S. T. Mayfield, W. R. Crowe, C. J. Bradfleld. J. W. Hardesty, E. C. Klngsberry, W. P. Cooper, W. K. McNeil, Hugh BrotAi. and Messrs. Kay, Smith. Coxe, Snellgrove, Ray.. The combined councils of Alabama and Georgia are arranging to build at hotel at Opelika. The council will take up the request of the Commercial club to assist It In ad vertising Birmingham. A letter seeking the co-operation of the Commercial Trav elers has been written by Secretary Babb of the Commercial club, and the council will probably act favorably on the re quest. REDUCTION IN RATES FROM EAST ANNOUNCED BY THE A. G. S. RAILROAD Difference Between the Old and New Rate Varies from 2 to 6 Cents Per 100 Pounds from Eastern Points—Immense Saving to the Birmingham Merchants, Other Roads to Meet the Reduction, The Alabama Great Southern railway and its connections will probably make material reduction in the freight rates from the east. These rates will be made on all six classes of general merchandise, and will also apply to Gadsden and Attalla, two points on the Alabama Great Southern between Birmingham and Chattanooga. Following Ms a list showing the old rate, the new rate and the amount of the reduction per 100 pounds from Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Class. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Old rate . 1.14 .98 .86 .73 .60 .49 New rate . 1.08 . 95 . 84 . 69 . 57 . 45 Reduction .y..06 .03 .02 .04 .03 .04 Tollowing Is the rate from Boston: Class. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Old rate . 1.07 .92 .S3 .70 .57 .46 New rate . 1.01 .89 . 79 . 64 . 53 . 42 Reduction .06 . 03 . 04 .06 .04 . 04 The reduction amounts to from 2 to 10 per cent, varying from $6 to $12 per car of medium capacity, 20,000 pounds. It Is considered the most Important reduction In rates that has been made In fifteen years, affecting Birmingham and the dis trict. It la impossible to accurately estimate the benefit of the reduction announced by the Alabama Great Southern, and the meeting of this reduction by other roads, to the merchants of Birmingham, but It will mean probably $200,000 or more to them annually in freight rates alone Besides this It will enable them to com pete with other cities which have previously had a little the advantage over Birmingham in the matter of ratfrom the east. The reduction is very wide reaching. It will effect practically every merchant in Birmingham and every wholesale dealer in any kind of material which comes under any of the six classes. The rates are the standard Virginia port rates. Corresponding reductions will be made by all rail lines and other routes. The initiatory was taken by the Alabama Great Southern to protect Birmingham merchants against other cities which had obtained a lower rate. The matter first came up a week ago last Wednesday when the 8outheastern Mississippi Valley association and the Southeastern Freight association made a reduction in the rates to Montgomery from the east. For several meetings of the association the Montgomery merchants through the president of th«\ir associa tion, have been fighting for a reduction in rate from the east, claiming that At lanta had received one and that it gave the Georgia city a great advantage over Montgomery. As soon as the Montgomery rate was decided on, L. Sevier, gener al freight agent of the Alabama Great Southern, and R. A. Chadwick, assistant general freight agent, took the matter up with their connections with the result that the reduction was announced* Mr. Chadwick was present at the meeting of the associations in Hot Springs, Va., when the Montgomery reduction was an nounced. Jt is more than probable that a corresponding reduction will be made by the S roads from western points into Birmingham. They will hav*y to meet the reduc tion made by the eastern roads into the Birmingham territory, and announcement to that effect is expected daily. As an example of the benefit of the reduction to Birmingham, on a car of machinery the present rate is 49 cents and the now rate will be 4T» cents, a re duction of 4 cents per 100 pounds. On a carload of minimum weight this would amount to $8. On a carload of dry goods the amount of the reduction is the same per carload. On a car of hardware or groceries the present rate Is 98 cents, and the new rate will bo 95 cents, a reduction of 3 cents per 100 pounds, or $0 per car. On boots or shoes the reduction would amount to $12 per car of minimum capacity. STUDENTS ARRIVE TO STUDY BIG INDUSTRIES Prof. Paul Anderson and a class of tlrtrty students of the Kentucky State college at Lexington arrived In Birming ham last night on Queen and Crescent train No. 1. and today they will visit va rious coal mines, furnaces and steel plant® In the Birmingham district.

Many of the student* have studied civil and mining engineering, and the trip to Birmingham will be some what of a practical demonstration of what they 'have been studying during tlie year. Jt Is possible that as a result of the trip some of the students may come to Birmingham to live, and an effort will be made to interest them in the district. There are always openings in the district for civil or mining engineers. LINEMAN KILLED WHILE ON A POLE E. C.

M. Duncan, milk and meat inspector of Birmingham, has returned from Balti more, where he took a two months’ course in Johns Hopkins, perfecting him self for making bacteriological tests of milk, meat, water and foods.

In the past the milk and meat inspector has not been able, owing to lack of equipment, to make analysis for germs and bacteria. In examlng milk he was able only to give the specific gravity, the amount of solids, water and other substances in the milk or cream. In speaking of his trip yesterday, Mr. Duncan said: “I have spent the past two months studying hard and perfecting myself as far as possible In chemical analysis, es pecially for the purpose of making tests for germs and bacteria in the milk, water and food stuffs sold in tho city. "We had a course of lectures from one of the greatest experts in the country in this special line of research, and It was very Instructive and interesting. The lectures were Illustrated by practical dem onstrations. There was a hospital adjoin ing the school and we were in that way able to get a number of specimens so that we could study them. “1 was in the laboratory a great deal and made a number of experiments my self under the direction of the able corps of Instructors. “We will have the new equipment here within a month and will then be able to conduct our department on a much more successful basis .than at present and do more effective work.” #**-'•* ■ -- Marriage Licenses Issued.

Many candidates for office are lawyers, and as most all the courts take a vacation for the summer this month, these would-be office holders will have plenty of time for speech-mak ing and campaigning generally. The race for alternate United States senator Is going to he unusually Inter esting. At present there are seven as pirants for the two alxernateships. The candidates are: John B. Knox of Calhoun. Joseph F. Johnston of Jefferson. Jesse F. Stallings of Jefferson. R. H. Clarke of Mobile. W. C. Fitts of Mobile. J. H. Bankhead of Fayette. W. C. Oates of Montgomery. All the above have formally announced their candidacy with the exception of Colonel Bankhead, and It is said that his letter to the voters of the state, solicit ing their support will be issued within the next day or so. Plans of the Primary. In framing the plan fcrr the state pri mary, in which the nomination of two" alternate senators was provided for, it was evidently taken to presume that Sen ators Pettus and Morgan would be re elected by the new legislature in Janu ary without opposition, and the names of these venerable statesmen will not ap pear on the ballot at the coming pri mary. The ballot for the election in August will contain the names of the candidates for governor: B. B. Comer and Dr. R. M. Cunningham; for other state officers, for alternate senators, for members of the legislature for the several counties, for state senators and for various county of fices. Candidate Stallings, for alternate sena tor, will la-gin an active canvass next week, speaking early in the week at a big barbecue and picnic to be held at Castleberry, Conecuh county, in the strawberry district of south Alabama. He has many other appointments to speak during the month of June In various points in Alabama. Mr. Stallings says that he will discuss In his first campaign speech restrictions by tiie government in the matter of Immigration, and govern ment control of the railroads. Mr. Stallings Favors Comer. Mr. Stallings announces emphatically that he is now and always has been an advocate of Mr. Comer. "J supported Mr. Comer In Ills race J>6r the railroad commission, and intend to do so in the gubernatorial fight," said Mr. Stallings last night. "He is better acquainted with the freight rates in Alabaimn than any other man; is sincere in his light, is one of th,e biggest shippers In the state, and is In every way tile logical candidate for,governor of our state." Captain Johnston, In his open letter (o the voters of the state, declared In favor of railway rate legislation, lie has al ready made a number of speeches In the state, and lias many appointments dur ing the month of June, So far, no Joint debates between candidates for alternate I'nited States senator have been arranged. Mr. Knox was in Birmingham yesterday en route from Tuscaloosa, where lie at tended the university commencement. He says that he is meeting with much en couragement in his race. Friends of Mr. Olarke, of General Oates and of Mr. Fitts all appear to he well satisfied with the candidacy of their men. With the formal announcement of Col onel Bankhead for alternate senator, his policy with reference to certain issues will probably be outlined. TROLLEY RIDE POSTPONED.
