Decide at Secret Meeting to
 Have No Candidate
IN THE MAYORALTY CONTEST
Indications of a Plan to Cap ture the County in the
 1896 Campaign.

There will be no republican ticket put out in the city campaign. That was the announcement made by the republicans yesterday afternoon, after holding several conferences and listening to reports of com nlittees appointed to canvass the situation.
 A meeting of the city republicans was held in the Drennen building yesterday afternoon, the white element outnumber- ing the negroes by about one-third. The meeting was secret, none but the elect be- ing allowed in the room. Maj. W. O.. Hanlin, chairman of the county Tepub- lican executive committee, presided.
 The steering committee appointed the night previous to feel the pulse of the peo- pie and to confer with the "enemy' re- ported that they had been unable to secure any concessions from the VanHoose people. The report said the managers of MT. Van- Hoose's campaign had been asked to give the republicans recognition on the ticket in return for republican support, but the ''rsformerso hatly declined to consider the proposition.
 After listening to this report resolution was introduced stating that the republicans deemed 1t inadvisable to put out munich pal ticket and leaving every man of that faith free to vote for the candidate of bis choice as between MT. Warnock and MT. VanHoose. The motion prevailed and the meeting aQJOufneQ.
 WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
 An AGE HERALD reporter interviewed several prominent republicans yesterday afternoon as to the effect their refusal to nominate ticket would have. They de- clined to talk for publication, but the man. ner in which they treated the question iu- dicated that they expected to strengthen their party both In Birmingham and Jef. ferson county by their policy of ''hands off, They argued that it would be hot fight between the two democratic tickets and that much bitter feeling would be en- gendered thereby.
 While they will not admit 1t in so many words, it Is evident from their conversa- tions that the republicans intend making a contest fof the county offices in 1896, es- pecially for the offices of probate judge and sheriff Such talk has been indulged in by some of the leaders and they believe 1t would be the best .,olicy to stay out of city politics and begin tbeir work to. ts6es county csmpatSsf1o oi rsgo. They prefer the coun ofices to those of the city, as with th5 county machinery in their hands they would have control of the voting and the counting of the votes in the state and na- tional elections. And this is what they are after.
 As between Mir. Warnock and MT. Van Hoose the republicans, it Is claimed by vided. At least a large element of the party will vote for each candidate. They thine this the better plan, as by that course they will make friends with both sides and thereby be better enabled to claim the sup port of any who, being disappointed in the city election, may wish to resent the con- duct of the successful candidates.

FACT OR FICTION ABOUT TWO GREAT FAIR
 AWARDS.
 A newspaper paragraph denounces as "falsen the claim of a baking powder company to an award at the Worlds fair. Whom can it mean?
 Certainly not Dr. Price's. Why? Be- cause, as the records show. Dr. Prices 6 exhibited, competed and received the highest award, both at Chicago and the California Midwiuter fair. The award in California included gold medal. The off, ficial examiners pronounced it the strong est, the purest, the most wholesome and efficient of all the baking powders. Its title to confidence is unquestioned.
 Can it be the manufacturers of New York powder, fctitiously labeled "abso- lutely pure,D who are making "falseo claims7 That would be strange indeed |, inasmuch as they wee not even considered in the awards.

CARD FROM MAJ. F. Y. ANDERSON. To the Age-Herald:
 In today's edition of your paper you pub- fish an interview in which the author states there is some probability of my being nominated for mayor by the republicans. Early in the canvass I was approached by many leaders of the organized democracy and asked to be candidate, but declined. Later was requested by large number of the gentlemen now supporting the cit izens' ticket to be their candidate, but also declined. Now it seems there is a proba- bility of my being called upon to decline another attack upon my services.
 All this, of course, is very hattering to me and is taken as recognition of my sup- posed ability as a business man, and the honor is duly appreciated. I wish to say, however, once for all, that l am no politi- clan, that 1 am not a candidate for any office and that if the position of mayor, alderman and all the other municipal offices were consolidated in one and ten. dered to me would not accept.

iuI of glucose and &sn----- in the other a like
 quantity of Pas- 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 a quantity of rare or raw lean beer, chicken, the white of hard 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 to 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 a slight difference in ap- pearance.
 If you have neither the facilities nor the inclination to make the test for yourself, we have no doubt that your druggist will be glad to try the experiment. he tubes herewith show the results of a test made in our own laboratory, the cuts being from photograph. No. contained glucose, and No. Paskola. What are we to conclude7 One of two things: either that the so.calied
 
 Glucose has no digestive pronertsafes. This is a well-known fact, EEereas Pas knls is giving relief to t,so6sands of dys. 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 ferments in a pure form, aud the only way to determine their presencs is by observing the effects which they produce upon food. This is a fact recognized by every authority, and will be found stated in Posters Physiology and other standard works.
 Another thing which these ignorant and jealous rivals have said about Paskola is that, inasmuch as it's basis is pre- digested starch, 1t IS calculated to encourage d1a- betes.
 We cannot better answer this charge than by quoting a paragraph from a report made to Mayor Gilroy of New York by Dr.. Cyrus Edson, commissioner of health fer 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 1t prepared by the digestive organs for assimilation. IL is pre- eminently a Iat- 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 tial article of food, without which in some 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 pre-digested starch was healthful.
 digested starch, as we'll as digested fer- ments, and is not alone a fattening food, but it aids the digestion of other foods in the stomach, just as you may see in

THINGS DRAMATIC.

"Visions and Dreamso was the theme of Ex-Gov. "Bobn Taylor's lecture at O'Brien's last night. Owing to the in- element weather the audience was not as large as it would otherwise have been.
 Rev. George T. Stain back, an ex-Tennes- sean, introduced the lecturer in few ft- ting terms. Governor Taylor then arose and immediately drifted into his subject. It was masterpiece of elocution, and was listened to from beginning to end in a manner worthy the man and subject. "Visions and Dreamsr' he depicted in it's every detail, and at times his flights of poetic fancy were incompaFable. His humorous vein was duly appreciated, and throughout his lecture the orator received applause worthy the man. MISS LILLIAN LEWIS AS CLEOPATRA.
 Tomorrow at matinee aud tomorrow night Miss Lillian Lewis will be greeted at O'Brien's by large and representative audiences on the occasion of her appear ance in new role, that of tragedy.
 As an actress Miss Lewis stands among the few at the top of the ladder of fame, and well does she deserve to be there. Her conscientious work has always been seen in her every attempt to portray character as 1t should be and she has thereby won the admiration and esteem of the theater- going public of the south.
 Her great success last season in "Lady Lil' has tempted her to go further and attempt the crowDing effort of her life in presenting "Cleopatra, ,'' Shakespeare's greatest production. In this play she will appear as Esypt's queen, with correct staging and costuming and with a power fnl cast. Everywhere this brilliant actress has been lauded in highest terms for her effective work in this new role, and it is safe to predict that she will be greeted here by houses worthy of the woman and her company.

perpetrators to be in the employ of rival manufacturers (pos- sibly people inter- ested in prepara- tions of cod liver oil), whose business has been injured by the merited popu- larity of Paskola. This suspicion is stren gthened by the fact that the un- truthful reports as to the com position of Paskola have been widely circu- lated through the mails and other- wise. Among the things the so.called ''chemists'' have stated is that Pas- kola was nothin g but glucose and hy- drochloric acid, the ridiculousness of which assertion will be made clear by the following ex- pertinent:

is said to b. one of the lost arts. In the

hesive purposes, deIicacy and dexterity in
putting the wax into the right place with
out burning ones fingers, was necessary
part of liberal education. Nowadays
the art has almost passed out of remem
brance. Here is the correct method OF
sealing letter: When The letter is ready
lay the seal on the table, at your rlgbl
hand, and in such position that when
used tie impression may be square and
right side up. Then hold the wax above
the fame of the gas or candle, but not
near enough to burn. When the wax
has been gradually softened apply ii,
with circular movement, upon the place
to be sealed rub it well around and
down until you have circle OF proper
size and thickness. The wax, still soft,
has cooled sufficiently to take clear
impression. Hold the envelope a little
distance from the flame unit the wax has
again become soft, then mosien the seal
and apply it. The result will be a clear
cut impression. There will be no adhe-
sion of wax to seal, no breakage, and no
irregular wax strings hanging about the
paper. The letter cannot be opened
without destruction of the seal itself,
which, in old conventional style, will
serve as remembrance of the sender and
of the security of the contents Of the
letter.
