SON OF AN 0UICAST
Found in a Saloon and Lodged in the
City Prison--Mother Now Try
ing to Outlive Her Shame.

The pitiful story of a young girls
downfall was brought to light in yes
terday's session of the inferior criminal
court by the trial of Eddie Boone, alias
Eddie Bailey, on the charge of a minor
visiting a saloon.
Bailey, or Boone. which is his proper
name, was arrested Friday by Officers Nc
Donald, Perdue and Mullin. and locked
UP in the city prison. Yesterday morn
ing, after his story was told, the boy,
who is about IT years old, was discharg-
ed
From information gathered the boys
mother was another one of those unfOr-
tunate girls who loved not wisely, but
alas too well. over seventeen years ago
an innocent girl succumbed to the wiles
of deceiver, and when her ruin was
accomplished she was cast aside and
drifted into the wide channel that leads
to a life of shame. For several years
she tried to earn an honest livelihood
for herself and baby, but fck1e fortune
turned against her.
While living in a miserable room in
Atlanta, she was told of the ease and
elegance of life OF shame and that she
need never. again be without food and
clothing for herself and little child.
Her lot in life seemed too hard to bear,
and, as she had no love to live for and
no honor to sustain. after awhile she
decided to take the awful step and leave
the path or virtue Tor one OF SlnIulnesS.
Once resolved upon, she came to Birm-
ingham and entered a we'll known re-
sort under the name of Ada Boone.
This occurred nearly ten years ago,
and there are many who remember the
attractive looking young woman who
gave her 7-year-old boy to an old farmer
named Bailey, so that he might grow up
in ignorance of his mothers shame and
disgrace, and himself live a life of use
fulness. Ada Boone continued her easy
life of elegance all these years, but re-
morse or the horror of her surroundings
at last compelled her to try and forget
the past and walk in the narrow path
of righteousness.
Sometime ago she migrated. as wo-
men of that class do. TO Bcssemer
where she decided to make the attempt
to lead a more honorable life. Whether
or not she admitted her past TO her en-
ployer, Is not known. but she is now
filling the lowly, but honorable position
of cook in a private residence in the
Marvel City.
AS for her young son, he was taken
to Refuge, about nine miles in the coun-
try. and treated as member of the
Bailey family. He was well fed cloth
ed and sent. to school every year Life
held out rosy promises to the boy until
the Fell Destroyer called Mrs. Bailey.
his more than mother, to home be-

yond. This lady's death occurred on the
1st of February, and all at once, so the
boy stated, Mr.. Bailey began to abuse
him and finally made him leave the only
home he knew. He came to Birmingham
and wandered into a saloon where he
was arrested as stated.
One of the officers knew the unfortun-
ate Ada Boone, and took an interest in
her boys trial yesterday morning with
the result that Judge Feagin released
him. 1t is understood that Eddie win re-
turn to Mr.. Bailey If allowed to do So
and If that is denied him, he will seek
a home elsewhere.
When the story was made known
much sympathy was expressed for the
boy and his unfortunate mother, and it
is thought he will have no trouble in Sc
curing a good home and become an
honest and honorable man.

attention at first. This sore refused
to heal, and after a while became quite
obstinate, and began to grow. placed
myself under the treatment of promi-
nent physicians, who said had cancer
of the most stubborn type, and though
took their treatment faithfully, the
cancer grew steadily all the while,
increasing in size and severity. I
also took nearly every medicine
that was recommended for the
blood, and applied various sa1ves
and ointments, all without the slightest
benefit. Year by year, found myself

SYSTEMIC cATARRH

A Hopeless Invalid Brought Back to
Health and Usefulness.
DIR. Hartman's free treatment for chron-
ic catarrh has been the means of restor-
ing a great multitude of discouraged,
hopeless people to health. Only a few of
the many letters received by the doctor,
with the request to publish them, from
grateful patients, can ever be published.
The following is specimen recently re-
ceived from Mary f. Bartholomew st.

First a Mole
Then Cancer.

Probably no disease carries such ter-
ror in it's path as Cancer-and we'll
may this dreadful affliction be reg arded
with horror. In an alarming manner,
it slowly but surely preys upon the
life's blood, bearing the victim nearer
the grave day by day. Beyond the use
of the knife the physician is powerless,
and too much cannot be said against
the folly of resortiug to the knife for
a cure of this terrible disease. Can
GER is in the blood, hence it is apparent
to all that no relief can be expected
from an operation. In ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred the cancer promptly
returns, if not in the same place, in
the same locality, and is far more ma
1ignant than before. The same is true
of attempts TO remove the cancer by
means of caustic p1asters, ETC., and all
who have had this treatment claim
that death cannot be more painful.
But there is a cure for cancer-one
which gets at the seat of the disease,
and removes its cause. s. S. S. Is the
only real blood remedy, and cures can

after other treatment has failed.
One of the well-known residents of
Macon, Ca, is Mr.. II. Powers, the con-
IT ACTOR ana DutiQeT, WHO lives DIT Old
Ross street. For twenty years Mr..
Powers has suffered intensely from
cancer on his face, which was treated
constantly, but grew worse all the
while. He sought the best medical
skill in vain, and could see no hope of
ever being cured.
On June %, 1896, he writes: Twenty

sAS-A1 ment by doctors for three
.T1-sss fmonths the child got worse,

that would relieve him.
He had wasted away to a mere skeleton,
from want Of sleep. A Mr.. J. g. Ahern, of the
Gate City Loan Co., who happened TO call at
our residence, was attracted by the fearful
screams Of the child, and askel il he might
see him. He was brought in, and upon seeing
him, Mr.. Ahsrn said, that while II WIS the
worst case he had ever seen, he felt satisfied
that it could be speedily cured by the use of
the CUTIoURA REMEnIEs." l finally con-
scented to try them, purchasing the CUrIoURA
Soar, CurfcuRA ointment, and CUTIoURA

directions. Before we had been using them
three weeks, we noticed q decided change
for the better, the itching began to subside
and healing process had set in. In screen
