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. CREWLESS WARSHIP.

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.

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.

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.

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 land Leader.

Good Advice, but A traveler entered a railway car riage at a wayside station. The sole occupants of the compartment con sisted of an old lady and her son, about twelve years old. Nothing of note occurred until the train steamed into the station at which tickets were collected.
