Pink Oliver, a white woman, was ar
rested last night by Officers Perdue and
Newman on the charges of obtaining
money under false pretenses and dispos
ing of mortgaged property.
It is an unusual occurrence for a hotel
to remove its register from the counter,
but the Florence hotel was last night
compelled to do so owing to the fact that
all of the rooms were engaged.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Birmingham Building and Loan
association held on Friday night Mr. H.

nation of Mr. T. M. Bradley.
Now' that “owd cars" have been put on

CREMATION IN PARIS.
The Number of Incinerations Growing
Steadily Prom Year to Year.
The advocates in this country of cre
mating dead bodies will be somewhat
encouraged by the reports that come
from Paris of the number of incinerations
that took place there during the first
four months of 1895. The number of in-'
cinerations that occur, either in accord
ance with a previous request of the per
son whose body is disposed of or at the
instance of the representatives, increases
every year with great regularity, though
not rapidly. According to the statistics
published by the prefect of police, the
number of ©vernations that took place at
the Pere Lachaise cemetery from August,
1889, to the end of April, 1895, were as fol
lows: 1889, 49; 1890, 121; 1891, 134; 1892
159; 1893. 189; 1894, 216, and 1895 (four
months), 75.
The furnace would consequently often
be idle were it not for the remains from
the hospitals, which amount to from 2000
to 2500 bodies per annum.
The apparatus employed is that of MM.
Toisonl and Fradet, and works by means
of gas with a recuperator. Incinerations
are accomplished in an hour, or, at most,
an hour and a quarter, and the cost of
the combustible never exceeds 3 francs
per operation.
Another apparatus, invented by M. Fl
cliet, has recently been inaugurated. The
difference between the two inventions lies
chiefly in the application of oxide of car
bon. In the contrivance devised by M.
Fichet the body is consumed by hot air
alone, and does not come into contact
with gases. According to this method
incineration takes place a little more rap
idly than in the Toisoul furnace, but the
expense is greater by nearly a quarter as
much._

Killed His Wife and Child.
Live Oak. Fla.. Dec. 7.—Near Luravllle,
Flu., Joseph Fields came home and found
a man with Mrs. Fields. He drew a
knife and the man ran. Fields then mur
dered his wife and stabbed his little girl
and fled. Neighbors suspecting some
thing was wrong, entered the house.
Mrs. Fields' body, covered with wounds,
was found on the floor and her baby was
dabbling in the blood. The little girl
was not seriously hurt and told the trag

AT RANDOM.
Just a Few Local Talks to Think Over and ]
• Digest. ,
Did you ever notice the degree of Inter-1
est manifested by some people in wit-1
nessing the release of an entrapped rat;
in the presence of an eager dog, ready to,
kill the helpless animal? Crowds of not
only boys, but men, will form a circle
on the streets, impede the passage of ve
hicles, whoop and cheer the rat killer.
The brute of a dog may be excusable,
but do the men and boys exhibit refined
taste of feeling?
* • *
The custom of removing hats from
their heads when seating themselves at
the theater Is now in vogue In most of
the advanced cities of this country, and
I verily believe, Birmingham is far be
hind in this matter. Maybe this plan of
relief may soon come to the theater
goers of Birmingham, who talk through
their hats, blit have never learned to see
through therm Its a wise solution of a
lohg-standipg vexed problem.
* *»’
A local democrat said to me the other
day that he thought things might work
smoother wfth, a solid south and a solid
north than with the menacing effect of
mugwumpery north and populism south.
He says our own people stand shoulder
to shoulder for the advancement of ev
ery good thing when they are politically
in harmony, and that the great dividing
Mason and Dixon line was a good thing
to keep us together. I leave the reader
to reflect on the proposition.
The stove men of Birmingham who ad
vertise In the State Herald seem to be
doing a live business this season. House
holders seem determined to take warn
ing from the severe cold of last winter
and this season heat their houses in reg
ular yankee fashion. The cool grafes
won't do it. The grate consumes more
coal and gives less heat. Well, stoves
are made of iron, and every one used
here ought to be manufactured 4n Bir
mingham.
* • *
The plan proposed by the Commercial
club of asking the several land compa
nies to bring their lands Into market by
buidlng a million dollar steel plant.seems
quite feasible, and the people are talking
hopefully about it. At present these
Companies are apparently at a stand
still. They have much in lands, but little
in money. By the plan proposed the
lands will become active by making a
market. It will not do for Birmingham
property holders to wait for other people
to come and make them rich. That Idea
Is exploded. It won't work any more.
• • •
It’s a sign of. improved spiritual and
financial conditions when a church vol
untarily increases the salary of its pas
tor. A Birmingham church has just in
creased the salary of its spiritual leader
from $1800 to $2400. He is a good man.
has a good church. Is doing good always
and the Lord thus blesses him through
His people. i
• * *
The question Is being discussed as to
whether or not a preacher should deliver
a sermon of over thirty minutes, anq
the concensus of opinion is that not one
preacher in ten can safely hold the at*
tentton of his congregation longer than,
thirty minutes, and that when he at
tempts to do so he is apt to put a damper
on the spiritual fire kindled by the openr
ing prayer and make a man hungry,'
thirsty, sleepy or tired. A thirty min
utes' sermon generally proves most ef
fective. This limit will draw the crowd
and generally dismiss them well pleased
and otherwise spiritually benefited. *
• * •
Did you ever notice that the merchants
who advertise (n the newspapers or a
city are the men who lead in the gefieraL
advancement of the community? It's*
true, as sure as you are born. They are
the builders of cities, foremost in every
good work, and without such men there
would be no cities.
* • *
It Is presumed that there was a pretty
lively tilt in the executive session of the
city council Wednesday night when the
"reformers"- werp outvoted in a proposi
tion to keep In office an official who was
objectionable to the “organized" element
of the council. They do say that the
Warnockltes mustered ten votes on the
ballot. But now there Is peace in the
family and the boys are going to pull to
gether to the end of the term.

A little 4-year-old Sunday school girl
whose mother tries to teach her the
"golden text” every Sunday, -became
slightly mixed the other day and re
sponded as follows: "Rise up early in the
morning and get a strong drink." She
forgot the “woe unto him” who does, but
she did her best.
• * *
The people are not disposed to com
plain at the delightful weather we are
enjoying this season. Our daily weather
reports point to the fact that everything
is just as it should he. By the way, It
may not be generally known, but Messrs.
Jacobs Bros., our weather men, are now
being consulted daily by farmers as to
when to kill hogs. These live young men
are experts in bog-k1lllng and furniture
selling, two entirely distinct fields of
usefulness. The klea of Bert Jacobs
having risen to that eminence where he
sits in his dignity and tells Farmer Jones
when to kill his hogs, but he does.
It was Saturday In Birmingham and a
liquor dealer was running short in stock.
He had ordered two barrels of whisky.
It was slow coming, so the dealer in his
earnest plea for hurry declared he would
have to close up Sunday if he failed to
get it on time. Do the liquor dealers sell
on Sunday in Birmingham? Don’t
know', do you?

Said a public spirited citizen: “The
thoughts of our people run on mines and
furnaces, and we rarely think of other
lines of industry. Yet there are several
industries that are worth as much to the
business of the city as a furnace. Take
for instance the printing Industry'. Bir
mingham is a great printing and pub
lishing center. Our two daily newspapers
are the best in the state, and have type
setting machines and other appliances .*#
a first-class newspaper office. Then there
are as many as a dozen weekly news
