BIRMINGHAM, ALA., HAS
POPULATION OF 132,685
Alabama City Gained 94,270 Peo
ple in Past Ten Years.
INCREASE Of 245.4 PER CENT
Kew Orleans Will be First City in tbe South
and Second Place Will Probably
go to Atlanta.
Washington.—The population of
Birmingham, Ala., is 132,685; an in
crease of 94,270, or 245.4 per cent,
over 38,415 in 1900.
The increase shown in Birmingham
is the largest thus far reported, as
the city has more than tripled in pop
ulation since 1900. The area of Bir
mingham is about 42 square miles.
It is conceded that New Orleans,
with her 339,055 inhabitants, will hold
first place among southern cities, but
there is great interest as to which
city will be second. In 1900 Memphis,
with 102,320, was second, but it is be
lieved that Atlanta, with her 154.839,
in 1910, has outstripped Memphis,
and will rank next to New Orleans.
The 1910 figures for Memphis have
not yet been announced.
N. B. BROWARD DEAD.
Senator-Elect From Florida Dies on
Operating Table.
Jacksonville, Fla.—Napoleon Bona
parte Broward, aged 53, the choice ot
the Democrats to succeed James P.
Taliferro as United States senator,
died a few second after being placed
on the operating table of a local hos
pital. The immediate cause of his
death was gall stones with complica
tions, and death occurred as the doc
tors were preparing their surgical in
struments.
For four years Broward was gov
ernor of Florida and during that time
commenced the draining of the Kver
glade, which, when completed, will
probably be the greatest, single under
taking in Florida’s history.
After serving his term as governor,
Mr. Broward was defeated for United
States senator by Duncan U. Fletcher,
which, by the way, was his only de
feat in politics. In June, of this year,
he defeated James P. Taliaferro at the
Democratic primaries for United
States senator by a large majority,
and was regarded as the strongest po
litical factor in the state.
He is a good example of the self
jjiade man of America. Early in the
I seventies he lost his father and moth
er, and was forced to start work* as
cook and roustabout, lie
Prorked' In this capacity, practically il
literate, tor several years, and was in
turn employed as a seaman, pilot and
captain of small craft on the St. Johns
river, until he purchased a third in
terest famous filibustering tug,
Three FrioWs. As commander of the
craft he made four expeditions to
Cuba, once landing in the harbor ol
Havana despite the Spanish fleet.

PRO\; |JR GIRLS. '
Catholic Confer | /White Slave T:ai
flcmMfc'Yiascs.
Washingon.— national con- j
ference of Catholic charities discuss- 1
ed charity work in all its varied j
phases. The conditions of Catholic'
charities throughout the country were j
iiscussed. and the “protection of |
young girls in our large cities” and j
"the state and charity ” were consid- j
ered in two sections of the confer-!
ence, which met simultaneonusly.
Rev. P. Mueller-Sunons of Strass- j
ourg made a report on the Interna-1
tional Association for the Protection;
of Young Girls, and set forth the
dangers which confront the girl who
leaves home in sea Ah of a means of
livelihood.
The so-called white slave traffic, he
declared, was the greatest danger in
the path of the girl. The number of
these traffickers, men and women, he
added, is an immense one. To wage
war against these evils, he advocated
the creation of special central offices
of the association for the protection of
girls, located in the most important
city of each diocese, and co-operating
with Catholic societies and homes for
the protection of girls all over the
world.
Another phase of the question which
Father Simons urged upon his hearers
was the protection of girls in their
respective native cities. This local
protection, he added, was being un
dertaken in this country by the
many Catholic institutions and socie
ties organized for the purpose.
The conference received reports
from a number of city committees on
the question of protection of girls.
Many causes were assigned for the
downfall of girls, including cheap
dance halls connected with saloons,
cheap lodging houses and low wages.!
The general conclusion of the reports ;
was that the problem was one of great!
magnitude and complexity and that
probably the best method to meet it
now is to organize local city commit
tees, in which all charity organiza
tions will be represented and keep in
touch with the national conference.
Rev. Monsignor White of Brooklyn
presided over the section of the con
ference which considered tbe "pro
tection of young girls in our large
cities."
WANT SOCIAL PURITY.
Charles W. Eliot Speaks of the Ne
cessity for Wider Knowledge.
Chicago.—Lessons up purity and
the social evil should be taught in
the public schools, according to let
ters from Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard university, and
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., which were
| read at a conference held here by
I members of the Illinois Vigilance com
mission, the Midnight Mission of Chi
cago and the American Purity Feder
ation. In his letter Dr. Eliot said: ’
"In my opinion, the social evil and
the diseases incident thereto ought
to be publicly discussed so that the
feasible remedies may be decided up
on and applied. I am entirely con
vinced that the policy of silence upon
these subjects has failed disastrously.
Another subject which ought to be
publicly discussed among teachers
and parents is the addition to our
school programs of instructions in
normal reproduction in plants and
animals, sexual hygiene in the hu
man species and the horrors of sexual
vice.”
Fake Hero Arrested.
Chicago.—Fashionable Lake Shore
drive was thrown into a state of ex
citement when a man with his face
cut and bruised and his clothing torn,
waving a gunpowder bomb, appeared
at the residence of Mrs. Potter Pal
mer, and declared he had prevented
the destruction of the place by an ex
plosion.
Later Wallenmeyer admitted that
he had made the bomb himself,
and went to the Palmer residence to
pretend that be had saved the peo
ple within from death.
Famous Artist Dead.
Portland, Maine.—Winslow Homer,
the famous artist, died at his home
in Scarborough, aged 74 years.
Homer had practically lived the life
of a hermit in his Scarborough studio
for several years past. His long life
work many years ago won for him a
conceded place as one of the ablest
and most original of American artists.
Homer's more notable works in
clude Life Line (1884), Eight Bells j
(1885), Fog Off the Banks (1886), Un-;

BABY’S SKIN TORTURE
“When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from’ that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors In Atchison
but he only got worse. Ilis face, head
and bands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake ail
hours of the night and his health
wasn’t what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
"Finally I got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else’s little onqg suffering and
; also their pocket-books. John Leason,

Now They Sleep Indoors.
George 11. Beattie, jeweler in the
old Arcade, and L. E. Ralston, auditor
of the News, have jointly and several
ly decided that sleeping out in the
open isn’t all that it has been declared
to be, says the Cleveland Leader.
They were both in a deep snooze out
at the Beattie farm, neav Chagrin
Falls, the other night, when a run
away team from the county fair city
turned into the lane leading up to the
Beattie estate and came along at full
speed.
Sound asleep, but dreaming of Im
pending danger, Ralston rolled out of
his cot toward the north, and Beattie
from his cot toward the south. The
runaway horses dashed between the
sleepers, oversetting everything in the
way, but missing Beattie and Ralston
by margins too narrow to be meas
ured. Since that night Ralston has
slept in his town house and Beattie
has found shelter under the ample
roof of his house on his big planta
tion.
His First Lesson In Economy.
"When I was a very small boy and
a dime looked pretty big to me, I met
John H. Farley—who had always been
my good friend —on the street one
June day," says Frank Harris.
“ ‘Frank,’ he said, ‘the Fourth of
July is coming soon. You'll want
some change then. Let me be your
banker until then and you'll have
some money for firecrackers, torpe
does, lemonade and peanuts.'
"I emptied my pockets into his hand
and every day thereafter until the
Fourth 1 turned over to him my small
earnings. When the day of days came
around I had a fund that enabled me
to celebrate in proper style, while
many of my playmates were flat
broke. It was my first lesson in thrift,
and it was a good one. Hundreds of
Cleveland people would be glad today
to testify to the fact that when John
H. Farley was a friend of a man or a
boy he was a friend indeed.”—Cleve
