REACH HIGHER.

No thoughtful man believes that 56C0 voters have registered in Birmingham who are legally entitled to vote, notwithstand- ing the books now show so large num- Der. It appears that some have registered through mistake; that some have found a commercial value attached to certificates, and it may be some stimulated by a desire to :get gaino have repeated. It is noticed that few arrests were made yesterday, and the probability is that more will follow. The only deporable thing about this is that an ignorant negro has been made the first victim of the hand of the law. It is well 10 strike hard in the beginning, that hurtful crime may be checked, but the hand of the law ought to reach higher and if there be guilty parties who occupy loitier positions in the community, who are in- telligent whites, who know the law and dare offend, these ought first to be made examples of, that more wholesome and general effect may follow. Are there not such guilty onesf

BREWTON SETTINGS.

BREwToN, Nov. 26.-LSpecial Corre- 'spondence. l-Peters Store company's stock of goods was sold by Sheriff McMil.. Ian today under attachment by order of Judge Tyson. It brought 30 cents on the dollar, and was bought by John Craft for the Christian Craft Grocery company of Mobile.
 Mayo & Martins stock was also sold un- der the same ruling. For this stock the bidding was a little more spirited and was run up to 76 cents, and was knocked of to Ralf G. Richards, Mobile creditor. $ Both stocks invoiced about the same S4O0O-and were sold in bulk for so much on the dollar of invoiced cost.

OWNEY HEARD FROM.

THE LITTLE FRIEND AND MASCOT OF THE
 POSTAL CLERKS IN JERSEY CITY.
 The postal clerks of the United States have one pet of which they are very fond. It is a dog which they have named Owney, and it is kept constantly on the road. It was in Birmingham about two months ago, and several Birmingham people will remember seeing it following the postal clerks about the city. Recently Owney was in New York, and the Recorder of that city has this to say of him.:
 ''Oue of the most notable visitors in the Pennsylvania railroad depot, Jersey City, yesterday was q well-built, four footed in- dividual, known as OWney. He is known in railway circles as the railway mail car dog.
 f'He has probably done more travelling than any other dog in the world. His hobby is to travel in the mail cars of the railroads. Almost all the railway mail of- ficials know him, and when they have him as their travelling companion they seem to have less dread of bandits and train rob- bers.
 'Owney is a mascot as we'll as watch dog. lew days ago he arrived in Jersey City from Jacksonville, Fla. Yesterday he started for Albany on the afternoon mail train. 1t is nine years ago since Owney took bis first trip. He has been on the road ever since. He has been as far west as San Diego and as far south as Mex. ico ,,

THINGS ORA N ATTIC.

Frohman's farce comedy, "Jane," was last nights attraction at O'Brien's. and a good audience was present to enjoy two solid hours of laughter. The curtain raiser, cone Touch of Nature,'' was ad- mrably rendered and well received.
 Of course all interest centered in JaGe. and the prelude, which was of different nature to the afterpiece, only served as an appetizer of what was to come.
 Miss Belle Gilbert, in the title role, was a hit from the first and during the entire play was tne center of attraction.
 As an actress ln this particular role Miss Gilbert is decidedly superior to Miss Cheatham, who last presented the charac- ter. Miss Gilbert had something inde- scribable in her action, which had a teD- dency to make her attractive, and the ease and manner with which she carried her lines made her a decided favorite.
 The others in the casr especially MT. Charles Steadman as Mir. Kershaw, were beyond the average and were pleasing to a marked degree.
 The nights performance in its entirety was a snpceSs.

SINGLE SKIN STANDARD.

The Peoples Tribune, the Republican evening paper of this city, is apprehensive that the sale of bonds will put gold at a premium and the United States will be without standard of value. Its idea seems 10 be that fuctuation in the standard of value destroys it's value as standard, and doubtless would nave the government re- sort 10 the free and unlimited coinage of silver as a preventative of such catastrophe aud all other catastrophes. The Tribune would perhaps have the United States emulate the financial policy of British America, which main tains one standard of value, although that standard fuctuates and is merely imaginary. A traveller tells us that at the Hudson Bay company's posts on the Mckenzie river actual money is unknown, all the trade being conducted by means of q curious imaginary currency, tue unit of value of which is "one skin ' What sort of skin? No one knows; in fact, it is no sort of skin in particular. It is merely an imaginary skin, about equva- lent in value to half a dollar. The hide of beaver is worth ten skins; musk OK hide is worth thirty skins; fine silver fox hide is worth 300 skins. These are the big bills of this unique currency. Small change is made by muskrat hides, worth one- tenth of skin; by mink hides, worth two skins, and by lynx hides, worth four skins. There is tiuctuation in the value of this currency, just as there is fuctuation in the value of silver, consequent upon the increase or de- crease in its production; but within limits, perhaps no less definite than in the case of silver, the relative value of the skins is as Fquoted. Of course if skin is imperfect, has holes, is cut or ragged, a deduction is made, just>as a silver dollar with hole punched on one side will pass for only so cents.

 kola; fill them with water, shake thor oughly and add to each forty drops of muriatic or hydrochloric acid, in order to initiate the acidity of the natural gastric juice. Having previously finely minced 6 beef, chicken. % iius the white '~c of hard d boiled eggs or similar foods; put into each bottle one ounce. Immerse the bottles in warm water and carefully main- tain the contents at temperature of 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, frequently shaking in order to thoroughly expose the food 10 the action of the solution. /
 In the course of very short time the contents of the bottle containing Paskola will be seen to undergo a change, and in two or three'hours the food will have be- come entirely dissolved or digested; whereas the contents of the other bottle contain ing the. glucose and acid will show no change beyond q slight difference in ap- pearance.
 If you have neither the facilities nor the inclination to make the test for yourself, we have DO doubt that your druggist will be glad to try the experiment. he tubes herewith show the results of test made in photograph. No. contained glucose, and No. Paskola. What are we to conclude? One of two things: either that the called ''chemiats'' are ignorant or dishonest.
 Glucose has no digestive properties. This is q we'll known fact, whereas Pas F peptics, a truth attested by the unsolicited testimonials that pour in upon us. The presence of digestive ferments in Paskola cannot be determined by chemical test. No one has ever seen digestive fernents in pure form, and the only way to determine their presencs is by observing the effects which they produce upon food. This is fact recognized by every authority, and will be found stated in Fosters Physiology aud other standard works.
 Another th imp which fhRSn innOrqOt and jealous rivals have said about Paskola is that, inasmuch as it's basis is pre- digested starch, it is calculated to encourage dia- betes.
 We cannot better answer this charge than by quoting paragraph from report made to Mayor Gilroy of New York by Dr. Cyrus Edsen commissioner of health for the city of New York, and for the state of New York.
 "Pre- -digested starch is starch in the ex- act condition that we find it prepared by tho digestive organs for assimilation. It is pre- eminently rat forming, heat produc- ing food. Under a diet of pre-digested starch or glucose man can perform more muscular work than under any other sim gle article of food. Pre- digested starch not only is not injurious, built is an essen- form man cannot enjoy life.'
 This letter from Dr. Edson was written in answer to an inquiry from the mayor as to whether or not ore digested starch was bealthiul.
 Paskola contains special form of pre- digested starch, as we'll as digested fer ments, and is not alone a fattenng food but it aids the digestion of other foods in the stomach, just as you may See in

WARRANTS SWORN OUT CHARGING MEN
 WITH ELECTION LAW VIOLATIONS.
 Members of the VanHoose committee went before Justice of the Peace I. H. Ben- ners yesterday and swore out several war rants against different parties, charging some with bribery and others with false registration.
 The warrants were sent up to the sheriff s office and placed in the hands of deputies for execution.
 The first to be arrested was Dave Me- Spadden, negro street guard, who was taken to the county jail. As soon as 1t was known he had been arrested bond was pre- pared for him and he was released. In the meantime another warrant had been issued for him, and he WAS again arrested and again gave bond.
 Laney, young white man, the warrant against him reading us follows: State of Alabama, Jefferson County-The Criminal Court of Jefferson County.
 Personally appeared before me, I. H.. Benners, justice of the peace in and for said county, J. D. Gresham, who, being duly sworn, says that John s. Delaney, within twelve months before making this affidavit, in said county, did by bribery, or offering to bribe, or other corrupt means, Grayson, from giving his vote ia the full exercise of the right of suffrage at the elec- ton to be held for mayor and aldermen in the city of Birmingham, Ala., on Decem- Der 4, 1894, against the peace and dignity of the state of Alabama.
 Subscribed and sworn to before me this 26th day of November, 1894.
 l. H. BENNERs, J. P.
 Delaney gave bond, his snreties being W. T.( .(Newberry and John O'Neill.
 William Soccer, proprietor of saloon at the c6rner of Eighth avenue and Four teenth street, was arrested on a warrant charging him with violating the election law. He secured bondsmen.
 It is understood that quite a number oi other warrants have been issued, most ol them having been sworn to by J. D. Gres' ham.

TWO GREAT ARTISTS.

The coming of two great artists, such as Mrs. Potter and Mir. Kyrle Bellew, is an event sufficiently important to attract the undivided attention of the theater- going public. Their engagement here is an nounced for tonight, tomorrow at matinee aud tomorrow night, and should prove one of the principal events of the present sea- son. They will be supported by an exceed ingiy strong company.
 Mrs. Potter began her present season in this country in San Francisco, where she met with instan taneous success. The press of that city was unit in praise of her mag nficent work, and the public crowded to see her. There is no doubt that success is contagious, and her present tour of this country has been a succession of triumphs.
 Mrs. Potter has long been recognized in the eastern world as the greatest artist who has ever visited those countries. Her first genuine triumph was made in Sidney, N. s. w., where she was greeted with storms of applause. This was seven or eight years ago; since then she has played in Mel bourne with equal success, and has been received with open arms in India, South Africa and all Of the British possessions in the Orient. She now returns to America strictly on her merits, and demands, and is receiving, recognition as her just due in her own country.
 MT. Bellew as romantic actor is without an equal in the profession. He has played iD every country in the civilized world, and is universally acknowledged as one of the greatest artists of his time.

It's use is at once followed by d sense of we'll being, strength, vigor and courage. The appe- tite improves and the sufferer can eat with comfort where be- fore distress fol- lowed every meal. Paskola correc 8 emaciation, and the pale, thin sufferers rapidly gain in weight under it's use.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

The return from farming in the South Is 24 per cent on the capital invested, as against 13 per cent in the other sections oi the United States.
 England is largely a misunderstanding na- ton and is one of the mealthiest in the world. If it could produce it's own agri- cultural products it would be by far the wealthiest nation of all. The South has both agriculture and manufacturing to de- pend upon, and should become wealthier than any people on the globe.
 firm ut Moss Point, Miss, has in- vented a new kindling, composed of chem icals and fat pine chips. It not only finds ready sale for domestic use, but ia being largely used by railroads. The firing of an engine is quite expensive, because there is no draft until the steam gets up. It costs about 30 cents 10 start the fire, but with this new kindlins the railroads say they can raise steam for F cents.
 MT. A. J. Irwin owns farm in Mont gomery county, and finds that Johnson grass is bis most profitable crop. He has 100 acres hat average two tons to the acre, which he sells at S14 per ton, being S26 per acre annually. This beats cotton, for 1t takes about three acres 10 raise S25 bale of cotton. One acre of this farm produces BPS wo orth of grass, while the cotton grower has to blow and pick, gin and bale three acres of cotton and only receives S25 for this expensive crop.
 The yield of the corn crop in the 5cuth for 1894, as compared to 1893, shows gain of 1, ,OO0 1000 bushels in Virginia, 5000, ,0O0 in North Carolina, 6 200, GOO in South Car -olina, 1, ,500SoC0 l.

not South American republic, where revolution takes place before breakfast. However Kolb's pretensions to becoming Governor de jure may affect the incoming Governor de facto, the entente cordiale is preserved between the present Governor aud himself. In yesterdays Montgomery Advertiser Governor Jones treats Kolb's brobdignagIau bonn bast with the lillipuLian levity it deserves. He is positive that there will be DO disturbln on inauguration day. The pretension of Kolb that the ne- gro vote was counted against him does not substautiate his claim to the Goyernorship, for Oates received majority of the white vote. The cry of fraud is mere sham, urged for ulterior political operations. Kolb's supporters cannot be gulled into insurrection on any such pretense as the defeated candidate urges.
 The Governor says further that the au- thorilies are thoroughly prepared to stamp put any disorder. ArmeI bands would not be permitted 10 come to the capital. If the necessity should arise hundreds of Pop ulists aud Republicans would respond to the call of the civil authorities. Probably the defeated candidate may pretend that he is Governor, but this would have IS little eff ct as the idiosyncraeies of inmates Of the insane asylum, who imagine they are kings aud emp.rors. Merely pretending to be Governor Is very harmless offense, and does not amount to treason under our laws. The report that the authorities contem- plated arresting the defeated candidate for treason ii he should take the oath of efiiee and claim to be Governor is without any foundation. The State authorities will deal only with overt acts or resistance of the econstituted authorities.
