house was not in very industrious
mood. When two boys are working
together and one has days vacation
the other will not do half the work
which he would have done if his COM
panion had been with him, though the
opportunity for a full days work might
be just the same as ever. The two
branches of the legislature are simply
boys of larger growth. Hence, but
for the Donnelly- Hicks episode the
house session today would have been
dull, Now that Hi Foote has been
bounced from the oil inspectorship a
bill was introduced today to put the in
spector on salary basis, paying him
90, 500 . year instead of fees amounting
to nearly as many thousand. This is
history repeating itself. When Capt
81. A. Castle was retired ut the end Of
Gov. Hubbard's term q bill was 6oth
introduced and passed cutting down
the fees until the Office was made SO
nearly worthless that one man actually
resigned and another nearly starved to
death trying to hold on. But in time
this spasm blew over and on the theory
that the Standard Oil company had to
pay it anyhow, the fees were restored.
Foote was ava1iant supporter of Clough
but blood is thicker than water and
hence the governors brother-in-law
gets the plum The house would have
been in session yet, probably, listening
to DonnellE and Hicks, but for SUM
mary adjournment without . vote on
the resolution which was stirring up
the trouble.

Spears Strange Weakness
for Liquor.

| Who is the skeptic who doubts the
progress and development of the south
ern states? Where'is the man who re-
fuses to admit the glowing promise
of Dixie's future? How long will he
continue to belittle the evidences of in
creasing activity and energetic enter
prise that abound in the territory that
stretches from Mason and Dixon's line
to the gulf and the Texan frontier?
Close his eyes as he may to the fur
mace blasts, and stop his ears to the
hum of.the spindles and the din of the
anvil, what can he say in the presence
of real live female burglar from Ala
bama?
Birmingham, that thriving city in
the Alabama coal and iron region, was
the scene of the operations of this re-
markable criminal representative of her
sex, Eliza Spears by name.
A few nights ago Southern railway.
freight car was broken into and hun.
dreds of dollars worth'of valuable mer-
chandise was taken therefrom. The
robbery, coming on the heels of the
burglary of several stores and private
residences, seemed to confirm the sus-
picions of the police that band of
expert and daring criminals was abroad.
AL efforts to trace them heretofore had
been fruitless.
What troubled the police most was
the report, several times received, that
in the neighborhood of the robberies
and on the nights on which they &C.

who was this stranger?" the police
asked each other, land where did he
go?"
But no one could discover any clew
to his identity, and diligently as they
searched they seemed unable to find
out what became of the apparition. On
two occasions they thought that they
had traced him to the house of Eliza
Spears. on the outskirts of the city.

When they entered the only person
within the four walls was Eliza her
self. She knew her visitors well, for
her reputation was anything but good;
she had been tried for receiving stolen
goods, but acquitted for lack of evil
dence.
Eliza gave the police carte blanche
to examine her house from basement to
roof. Sure enough, she was the sole
occupant, and the minions OF the law
retired, more puzzled than ever as to
what had become of the queer little
man in the SLOUGH hat and shabby coat.
The detectives got on to the little
mans trail again after the car rob-
berry. 1t led them once moro to the
house of the Spears woman. They
couldn't be mistaken again, they said
to themselves. They knocked on the
door. There was no answer. They
Knocked again and louder. Still no
answer. This was suspicious. 1t was
early morning, and Eliza should be
| home. Then they broke in. Every
thing was still except for the sound of
stentorian breathing from a sleeping
room, the door of which was ajar.
Tiptoeing into the chamber, what was
their establishment to see, lying, face
downward, across the bed, with an
empty whisky bottle alongside, but the
very mysterious stranger whom they
had sought so long. The SLOUGH hat
had fallen on the floor, disclosing the
/ - haI 4hfnl-
shock of hair, altogether unlike mans.
"Wake up here!" said the sergeant,
shaking the sleeper. You're the man
we want"
The sleeper turned over and disclosed
the face of Eliza Spears.
"What! You. Eliza?" chorused her
captors.
"Yes," she leered. so you've got me
at last? II it hadn't been for rum I'd
have given you a lively chase for many
year to come"
The mystery was solved. Eliza,
thanks 10 her potations, had neglected
to take her usual precautions on ar
irving home from the car robbery. She
had not removed her mans coat and let
down over her trousers the skirt which
was closely tucked around her waist.
The police did this for her, however
and then she stood before them just u
