My mother and aunts came to mo. They were not welcomed or desired by Mrs Darling Dr. Spranger told them that l had Bright's disease of the kidneys. They did not accept his opinion. Dr. Spranger called in two of his friends-Dr. OleotZ and Dr. Long. They at that time did not concur with him.

ONE man seldom has so much depending upon him as does Justice Jackson of our supreme court. With the court known to be tie he must decide as to the constitu- tionality of the income tax and his de. cision stands. Its A big responsibility, but there are lots of men who would like to have his chance just now.
 ADMIRAL MEADE has proven that the ad- ministration had excellent grouRds for fearip z to put him in position where a war with foreign country might depend en- tirely on his discretion, by showing that he has no discretion. His published interview while in New York not only shows him to be a man without discretion, but to be what no army or navy officer should be. an in- teHsely bitter political partisan. It is the opinion of naval officials that Admiral Meade's ibjudicious and bitter public criti- cism of the government has made him liable to be tried by court martial, under article 235 of the naval regulations, which prohibits officers communicating. by inter view or otherwise, any comments or criti- cism of any department of the government. Under that same article A court martial is to convene next week to try Medical In. spector Mershner, upon charges made by Admiral Meade. The personal popularity of the hot headed. but brave and generous admiral, may be sufficient to keep him from being court-martial or an examina- tion as to the mental responsibility oi Admiral Meade. It IS understood that Secretary Herbert has asked him for an ex. planation.

RULE V. MODIFIED.
The President Promugates an Order Affecting w the Civil Service.

'"S 'SS'"S'A 'O''H'Sa'So eh' O'ASi f'itSStliiS ss the Civil Service.
 Washington, July 16-The president has promulgated a new rule modifying rule of the civil service rules, the effect of which is to greatly limit the number of promotions in classified customs dis tricts, except after appropriate examna- tions. The necessity for the change in the rule arose from the extension of the classification in the customs service on the 2d of November last to positions pay ing salaries less than $900, opened the door for the promotion of many persons who had entered the service through per senal or political favoritism. The old rule would permit these persons, after they were brought into the classified service, to be advanced to many of the best paying positions without examina- ton.
 Under the new rule promotions can be made only to limited extent without examination and no promotions can be made from one grade to another without an appropriate examination to test fit- ness for the position to which the promo ton is to be made. The adoption does not apply to the New York custom dis tricts, for which special promotion regu- lations are provided requiring exami- nations for all promotions.

TIE RAILROAD COMMISSION
HEAR COMPLAINTS FROM PRATT CITY
As to the Need as a Depot on the Kansas City line-Evdence Heard-No De6- mite Action.

The Alabama railroad commission met in bthe Commercial club room yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and remained in session until about 1:30. Present were Col Henry k. Shorter of the commis- sion and his associates, Mr. Ross w. Smith of this city and Col Harvey l.. Jones of Montgomery.
 The commission met here to consider complaints against the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad, brought by business men of Pratt City. It is claimed by those who appeared before the commission that proper depot facil- ities are not provided for Pratt City. They say the cnly depot the Kansas City road has there is an open platform, at which passengers have to wait for trains and on which whatever freight is shipped over that road to Pratt City is dumped.
 The merchants who went before the commission yesterday said they had most of their goods shipped to Birming- ham and either hauled them out to Pratt City in wagons or had them shipped on the dummy. They said if the Kansas City road had depot at that place they would have the freight shipped there. They also said that they instructed job bers from whom they purchased to ship all goods over other roads, on account of the lack of depot facilities.
 aIhe merchants at that progressive ILL tic city are very much in earnest in the matter of securing a depot and presented a strong case to the commission. Among those who testified before the commis- sion were Messrs. Job Going, Charles Donaldson. J. w. Scott, = Young, J. ". Outlaw and others.
 tThe merchants claim the Kansas City is the only railroad entering Pratt City as a common carrier; that the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad company is not a common carrier, and that the other roads entering there do so merely to connect with the mines and furnaces at that place. R. H. Fries of Birmingham and Messrs. Joseph Salisbury and T. H. Moore represented the Pratt City people. 1.-The Kansas City, Memphis and Bir- minSham company was represented by the law firm of Walker, Porter x Walker, Superintendent J. H. Sullivan was also present They claimed that the passen- ger and freight business of Pratt City was not sufficient to justify them in building depot 1t that place.
 Considerable evidence was taken on both sides and at 20 D. m, the commits sion adjourned. the commissioners leav- ing over the Alabama Great Southern at 3;30 for Tuskaloosa and other points down that road

Judge Lacombe, in his charge to the grand jury, said practically that while the grand jury could censure any body for negligence in connection with the escape, yet the laws were so framed that unless it found that the keepers or sheriff voluntarily allowed the prisoners tosescape it could not find an indictment against any person.

 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly am nounced through the col. ms of the Her. aid that he would treat only special class of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieye with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmin ham may well be proud of him.
