Another Party of Chicagoans
Visit Birmingham,
COLUMBIAN ASSOCIATION
Arrived Yesterday and Were Shown Our In
dustries Through Smoke and
Flame.
The most representative and wealthy
party of northern business men that ever
visited the south reached this city yester
day morning at 0 o'clock. They came in
response to the invitation of the Southern
and Northwestern Industrial association.
Birmingham was omitted from the orig
inal Itinerary, but through the labors of
the officers of the industrial association
the Chicagoans returned from the Atlan
ta exposition via Birmingham to spend
the day in viewing the magic resources
and marvelous development of this dis
trict. It was understood and arranged
that the party would be given a trip
around the city on the Highland Avenue
road and luncheon at Lakeview, but at >v
late hour Wednesday night Mr. Skaggs
received a telegram from Mr. Fish, pi s
hlent of tlie Illinois Central, saying the
party had accepted the Southern road’s
tender of a train for a trip through the
mineral district, and that the party
would leave Birmingham at 8:li0 yester
day morning. Mr. Trask of the Colum
bian Equipment company having tender
ed a train over the Highland Avenue and
Belt line quite a number of prominent
citizens made arrangements accordingly.
There were, therefore, but few at the de
pot at 8:30 yesterday morning, the hour
set by President Fish for departure.
Generals Ferguson, Rhodes, and Messrs.
Trask, G. M. Williams, P. Sid Jones and
several other prominent citizens had
taken the matter in hand of arranging for
the entertainment of President Fish's
party. Owing to the lateness of the hour
it was impossible to give notice of the
change in the programme. Messrs. J. B.
Cobbs of tile Berney bank, Eugene F. Iin
sk-n of tlie Jefferson County Savings
bank, H. F. DeBardeleben, T. H. Aldrich,
Oliver Challfoux, W. H. Skaggs and .).
W. Hughes of this city and W. R. Golden
of Talladega, Ala., were among those
who accompanied the excursionists.
At a mile after 9 o'clock the party in
the care of Superintendents Thompson
and Ross and Trainmaster Williams of
the Southern railroad hoarded the special
train and started on n tour of the richest
mineral district of the world. Some of
the points visited en route were the Sloss
furnaces, Coalburg mines, Woodward,
Thomas, Pratt City, Ensley and Besse
mer. The magnitude and extent of these
plants, the perfect appointments of the
furnaces and mines elicited expressions
of astonishment and praise, hut amaze
ment seemed complete when the largest
pipe works in the world were reached at
Bessemer, where trains of pipe were be
ing loaded for Honolulu, Sandwich Is
lands, and Toklo, Japan. To write the
visit "a revelation” but mildly states the
verdict of the whole party. "We had no
conception of the extent and variety of
your Industries,” exclaimed a number
of the distinguished visitors. "Your re
sources are beyond conception and the
magnitude and extent of your industries
are h marvel to me," exclaimed Ex-Con
gressmen George E. Adams of Chicago.
"It is wonderful—the growth and devel
opment of the south, particularly this
great mineral district,” said Potter Pal
mer. "It is the coming district of the
south,” said President Fish of the Illinois
Central. Expressions of surprise were
practically unanimous, and there were
only voices of praise of the resources of
the great Birmingham district.
While it is unfortunate and much re
gretted that the people of Birmingham
were not given the opportunity of ex
tending the courtesies which they so
much desired to extend in ayidencing the
hospitality for which Birmingham Is so
justly noted, it Is gratifying td know
that the time was well spent In directing
the attention of our visitors to the natu
ral advantages and Industries of this
section.

The Columbian association was perma

and Its membership consists only of the
directors and officers of the World's Co
lumbian exposition. The purpose of the
organization was to band together for
life the men who did so much In giving
the grandest exposition ever known In
the world's history and to exterid their
influence as a body In the cause of devel
opment and progress in every portion of
America. Under the rules governing the
association no new member will be taken
in and the association is to survive until
the death of the last member.
Remarks Picked Up.
The pnnre party were lavisn in meir
praise of the Atlanta exposition. Presi
dent Higginbotham says it was a Hercu
lean task for a city as small as Atlanta
to undertake, but she has certainly made
a success of It. It is simply grand an l the
topography of the location and the ar
rangement as a whole could not be Im
proved on. Atlanta, he continued, is
somewhat after the order of, Chicago, her
people pull together, and people can ac
complish almost anything possible when
there Is unity of action. Atlanta is a
great city and her citizens enterprising
and progressive to a man. Many of our
party were never south before and we
have all fell in love with the people and
are highly pleased with all we have seen.
We are especially pleased with the hos
pitality and general courtesies extended
our party.
“We have heard of Birmingham so of
ten that we felt like we knew the city
before making this visit,” remarked Mr.
Baker, “but we find many things con
trary to our expectations. Your coal and
Iron ore, they tell me, i “inexhaustible."
“This furnace,” remarked a local com
mitteeman, referring to the Ensley, “nev
er shut down during the entire panic.”
“I shoulld say not," said a visitor; “It
looks like a furnace ought to run with
ieoal and Iron ore both In 100 yards of it."
Editor Kohlsart of the Times-Herald
says that he is wonderfully pleased with
Birmingham; that he is now malting an
effort to secure a better rate of freight
from the west to the south and has re
ceived Information from leading railroad
officials that may lead to this accom
plishment. That his paper has for sev
eral months been directed to the develop
ment of the south, and that without
money and without price he has devoted
column after column in the interest of
the Atlanta exposition, the result of
which has been more than. 2000 citizens of
Chicago visited Atlanta In a body. It
will be remembered that It was the
Tlmes-Herald’s fast train that, covered
the distance from Chicago to Atlanta,
carrying a special edition of that paper,
In less time than the distance was ever
before made in the history of railroading.
Mr. H. F. DeRardeleben acted as direc
tor of the party, which is a guarantee
within itself that no pains were spared
In bringing to the attention of the visi
tors every interesting feature, not only
of the Industries visited, but of Birming
ham and the whole of Jefferson county.
Birmingham Is under special obliga
tions to President Skaggs of the South
ern and Northwestern association
for his successful efforts in
having this party stop over in
bur city, and to Mr. J. S. Thomp
son, assistant general superintendent;
Mr. J. M. Ross, division superintendent,
and Cl. H. 'Williams, master of trains of
the Southern, for the many kindnesses
rendered to entertain the visitors.
Lounges, sideboards and
ladies’ writing desks we offer
at very low prices for the

O’Clock.
Cincinnati (O.) Commercial Gazette:
The famous Mrs. Jenness Miller, known
as tha most scientiffo and artistically
dressed woman in the land, spoke to a
crowded house at the Odean yesterday

assuming that the paramount desire of
every woman Is to be beautiful, and of
the wise woman to know her defects and
how to correct them.
Public Hedger, Philadelphia: The Acad

This is the last day of the flower show!
Tonight at midnight the doors will close,
and the largest, best and by far the hand
somest flower show will come to an end.
This, the third exhibition of the kind,
has proven a success beyond the expec
tation of the most sanguine, not only in
attendance, but in floral display. The ex
hibit of chrysanthemums and other flow
ers made by Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Stiles,
Mrs. J. O. Cross, Mrs. John London, Mr.
Lindsay, Mr. Williamson and others is
/the finest ever seen in our city, while the
palms, ferns and bezonias exhibited by
Mrs. J. W. Parclay, Mrs. Erswell, Mrs.
C. H. Reed, Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Wil
liamson would do infinite credit to a much
larger and oldef city than ours.
Crowds thronged the room yesterday
and last night and the refbeshment and
other tables were remarkably well pat
ronized. The ladies in chffrge of the flow
er show have been the recipients of many
generous courtesies from our citizens. Mr.
Joe Frank donated yesterday three splen
did cakes, carrying them himself to the
ladies. The substantial luncheon pre
pared for one of the Chicago parlies, and
which could not be served as intended,
owing to belated trains, was carried to
Ihe flower showf as the gift of the gen
tlemen composing the committee appoint
ed to look after our Chicago visitors. This
lunch was a magnificent one, elaborate
and tempting, and was most grate
fully received by the ladles. Gen.
Rufus N. Rhodes was largely in
strumental In securing this exceed
ingly generous donation, and the thanks
of the ladies are gratefully extended to
him and every member of the committee.
No doubt this morning, afternoon and
evening the flower show will be crowded
with persons eager to see the very finest
floral exhibit ever made in Birmingham.
To iniss it is to lose forever one of the
most beautiful sights of a lifetime.
Mrs. J. H. Bankhead left yesterday at
noon for Jasper to visit her son, Mr. J.
H. Bankhead, Jr.

From the Tuslcaloosa Times the follow
ing bit of university hews is taken:
"A few clays ago a meeting of the sp
nlor class was held In the hall of the
Erosophlc society for the purpose of
electing officers. The meeting was called
to order by Mr. E. D. Smith, who has
most creditably occupied the presidential
chair of the class of 1S96 for the past
twelve months, and the race for officers
immediately began.
"Mr. C. A. Coleman, a member of the
“nobility.” was the successful candidate
for president.
“The other officers were unanimously
elected to fill their respective offices. The
officers of the class as elected at the meet
ing are as fed lows:
"C. H. Coleman, president; W. H. Fer
guson, first vice-president; J. L. Dren
nen, second vice-president; J. L. Drennen,
secretary and treasurer; J. M. McBeod,
historian; Kennon Thetford, poet; W. H.
Ferguson, captain football team; S. C.
Pelham, manager football team; J. L.
Herring, dude; H. M. Martin, Peter, the
Great; A. C. Birch, best looking man."
A happy'marrlage was consummated
at North Birmingham on Tuesday even
ing, the 11th instant, at the home of the
bride’s father, the contracting parties be
ing Mr. John B. Sparkman and Miss Ne
vada Driver. Rev. James E. Andrews
performed the ceremony. The fortunate
groom is a north Alabamian, an excellent
young man of fine character and sterl
ing worth. The fair bride Is one of North
Birmingham’s most attractive young
women and has scores of friends, who
extend the heartiest congratulations and
good wishes to the happy couple.
The marriage at 2:4G o’clock yesterday
afternoon of Miss Katie Clement Ball
and Mr. Charles Van Hess Schoolar at
the First Baptist' church filled that hand
some edifice to overflowing with friends
and relatives of the popular young
couple. The rostrum and altar were
beautifully decorated with palms, chry
santhemums and crimson bamboo ber
ries. While the congregation was as
sembling Miss Orline L. Arnold played a
number of brilliant selections upon the
organ, and at 2:45 the notes of Mendels
sohn's wedding march announced the ar
rival of the bridal party. The handsome
young ushers—all members of the Philhe
donian club—Messrs. J. Clay Thompson,
ltichard Going, George Brown, John H.
Warren, J. Lundle Sloss, Frank Lynch,
Archie Gibson and Robert Cecil, preceded
the bride and her father to the altar.
Mr. Charles V. H. Schoolar and his best
man, Mr. Sandy Schoolar, his brother,
came from the study and met the bride
at the altar. The marriage ceremony
was impressively performed by Rev. Dr.
D. B. Gray, pastor of the First Baptist
church. During the ceremony Miss Ar
nold played with exquisite effect “The
Sweetest Story Ever Told” at the request
of the bride. The bride wore a very hand
some and becoming dark blue cloth gown,
trimmed with astrakan, with- . hat to
match. She carried a large bunch of
bride roses and the ushers wore bouton
iers of bride rosebuds. It was a beautiful
and impressive wedding and the bride
and groom were unusually handsome and
attractive. Mr. and Mrs. Schoolar left
immediately after the marriage for a
brief wedding Journey to Atlanta, New
York and Washington. Upon their re
turn they will be at home to friends at
Mrs. Steele's, on Fifth avenue. On the
evening of December 4 the Phllhedonian
club will tender Mr. and Mrs. C. V| II.
Schoolar an elegant reception. Mr.
Schoolar although a Mississippian, has
lived sufficiently long in Birmingham to
gain for himself the high regard and es
teem of our community, because of his
personal and business qualifications, and
his bride has been, since coming among
us to live, one of the most popular and
admired of all our lovely girls. Long
life and abundant happiness and prosper
ity is wished for them by all their friends.

Mr. A. Y Sheets, Kingston, (3a., says.
May SI, 1895: “I was troubled with dys
pepsia for twenty-five years, and could
get no permanent relief from any treat

after the lapse of five years I can recom
