For Louis Stern at the Hands Of the

Washington, Oct 4-News has reached
Washington unofflclally. confirming the
cable reports that the Prince Of Bavaria
has declined to extend clemency to Louis
Stern, OF New York, as was requested by
our ambassador, Mr.. Runyon.
The prince is the last resort in such
case, within the limits Of Bavaria,
where Mr.. Stern was tried. and must
either serve out his sentence OF two
weeks imprisonment and a fine of GOV
marks, or forfeit his bail, which has been
fixed In the excessive sum of 10000 marks.

PULLMAN COMPANY WINS.
Must Sell Small Dab of Property to Kee
 Within the Limit

Must Sell a Small Dab of Property to Keep
 Within the Limit.
 Chicago, June Judge Baker this morning handed down his decision in the case of Attorney General Maloney against the Pullman Palace Car com pany, in which the former claimed the defendant company had violated it's charter by conducting a number of en- terpTises other than those for which the state granted it a charter; that the charter should therefore be forfeited. The court sustained only two of the charges against the company. One was that the company had exceeded its power in becoming the owners of twentythree acres of land in the town of Pullman, which had been put to no use, and the other was that it violated it's charter in becoming the owner of a part of the stock of the Pullman Iron and Steel company.
 The court holds that the company had the right to erect a ten story office building in Chicago and rent the greater part of it to tenants; that it has the right to sell intoxicating liquors in it's cars and that in the purchase of land upon which the town of Pullman is built and the erection thereon of 2200 dwelling houses to be rented to it's employees, the company did not violate It's charter but only took upon itself powers which were implied in the grant of the legislature. The company is also sustained in the erection of schools and church in the town of Pullman, and the sale to the tenants of it's houses, of water and gas plants which the company owns.
 Twenty-three acres of land, which is unoccupied, the company will be com pelled to sell under the decree of the court, and 1t will be compelled to dispose of what stock it owns in the Pullman Iron and Steel company. These two in terests in which the company was de- feated by the court, involved but about $50,000.
 If the supreme court sustains Judge Baker the company will go on with it's business undisturbed and with its meth ods of business practically unchanged by the suit of the attorney general

Its Advantages as a Summer Resort Extolled

 Springville, June 1.-(Special Corre- spondence) 1.-The hot season has sudden ly come upon us, but while the mercury stands in the sos in the cities, we have only realized a maximum temperature of SS degrees Our nights are cool and pleasant. While Birmingham stands COZ feet above sea level, Springville is 70S, thus giving us an advantage of 106 feet in altitude above your city.
 As a summer resort our town has many advantages-an atmosphere cool and health-giving, with the finest springs in all this section of Alabama. Some of the citizens of Birmingham have already expressed an earnest desire to avail themselves of the privilege of spending Sundays here if the railroad authorities would allow them to use the fast trains in coming out in the morning and re- turning at night. It seems that such an arrangement might be made, and the pleasure and convenience of your citi- zens and the business of the railroad would both be enhanced.

A Leaf Fluttered by the Wind

Is not more tremulous than nerves de- bilitated or overstrained. Nights of un- rest followed by days of discomfort, are the common lot of the nervous. This class of invalids, too, is usually troubled with indigestion and imperfect assimi- lation. Indeed. to the inability of the system to perform these twin functions may be largely attributed all nervous symptoms. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters is a sovereign remedy for nervous ness. Dyspepsia and non-assimilation of the food are remedied by it, as are also malarial and kidney complaints, hiliousness, constipation and rheuma- tism. Confirmed nervousness cannot be permanently remedied by opiates or sed- atives. which are highly prejudicial to health. and soon fail of effect save in increasing doses. The Bitters first ini- tiates. then confirms a vigorous dis charge of the various functions, and removes obstacles to that end. Take it persStently at regular intervals
