 The following letter to the Montgomery Advertiser of Saturday will be of interest to the Daughters of the Confederacy throughout Alabama:
 '"The editorial in your issue of this morn ing calling upon the people of Alabama to raise a tribute to Alabamas heroic son, Lieutenant R. P. Hobson, speaks for itself. It seems fitting that the Daughters of the Confectionery should take a leading part in this as suggested by the Advertiser, for the young man is the son of brave com federate soldier, who fought for the south for four long years.
 ''It gives the two presidents of the local chapters the Cradle of the Confederacy' and the Sophie Bibb.' pleasure to feel that we can in any way aid in this cause. We, with the Advertiser, ask that contrIbutons be sent in fl Nm all over the state, a penny from any not able to give more, being just as acceptable as a hundred dollars would be from others. It is hoped that the Daughters of the Confectionery throughout the state will interest themselves In thls movement.

A Choice.

Last night in sweetest slumber, my guar dian angel came, And stood there at my bedside, calling sweet my name, As I wondr'ing, gazed upon him, methouSht his face did shine With light of glorious splendor, and ray of love divine. Then I asked in awe-struck whispers 'Whence com'st thou vision bright, What message bearst thou to me, in this holy calm of night Slowly stretching out his white arms, be- held thereon two veils, The one of heavy texture, the other heavy trails. In a voice of heavenly sweetness, spoke the angel then to me "Chose, dear one! Whiche'er thou fan- ciest, shall be given unto thee. The veil of white hung nearest, so l raised one corner up, And beneath it saw bright garlands wreathed about brimming cup. l looked, wondering at the angel, seeing which he sweetly smiled And said "The cup is pleasure, best not
 sip it, eager child" But I sipped-so sweet the draught was. that I grasped the snowy veil But paused to sip just once more, lest my hand grow weak and fail. The cupl How sweet it's contents! This draught was deep and long But the angel watched me sadly, and l heard a low sweet song, 'Save thy child! oh, Holy Mother, ger from thee she wanders far For the tempter fingers near her, all thy handiwork to mar.' Then the draught, once sweet grew bitter, and the garlands turned to aSpS, That hissed and strove to fold me, in their hideous coiing clasps, And cried aloud Hail Mary flung the tempting cup afar, Then above in glorious splendor shone face crowned with a star At my feet lay cup and garlands, o'er them fell the snowy veil, And I knelt me down upon them, called on Him who ne'er would fail Asked the gift of resignation to His Holy win divine Something dark fell about me-, and the other veil mine.

From the Hazleton Sentinel.
1t has been four years and more since
Henry Mans last heard from his son
Charles, who left his home and depart
ed to seek his fortune. His father had
grown to think of him as dead, but was
surprised and delighted to receive a
letter yesterday eight pages long con
tanning the intelligence that the writer
was well and describing his adventurous.
The letter was indeed interesting read
ing, for Charlie is a member of Roose-
velt's Rough Riders, and was with them
in the famous battle of Ell Caney.
The Rough Riders will go down in
history as valiant heroes, who fought
and won against heavy odds, and Mr..
Mans can well be proud to have son
who as a member OF that famous band
deserves honor and praise. If he ever
returns to l1azleton he will be q person
age of Importance, for who is not anx-
ious to hear from the lips of an eye wit
ness the story of that awful battle in
Santiago, and to shake the hand of a
man who fought with such a group of
heroes as Roosevelt's Rough Riders.

''Relative to the matter of anthracite

and the assistant secretary Of the navy.
They have now promised that as soon as

make an extended series of tests of the
various kinds and sizes of anthracite
coal, which shall be suggested for the

not anthracite will be suitable for naval

lluence that you can bring to bear at the
proper time, of which I will advise you.

to heating is 1 to 2S.5 and further, her
captain, B. S. McCalla, is an exceedingly
earnest advocate of anthracite for naval

velopments that may come up in this
matter, and hope you will, in the mean
time, take any steps that may suggest

FlREMEN'S TROUBLES.
Clearing Themselves of Charges Made
by IA Councilman.


Last nights meeting of the Citizens
Hose Company was largely attended,
due to the fact that some of the mem
bers were to be placed on the rack on
the charge OF breach of conduct. The
accused members were Chief Patrick
Welsh, Secretary Timothy Boyle, Treas
nrer John M Powell and L. p. Gala
Cher. The trouble arose from remarks
made lately at borough council meet
ing by Councilman DePierro, who, it is
alleged, based his statements on in
formation given him to the effect that
the recent rcquiSition for more
hose and apparatus made by the firemen
was not legally authorized by the Hose
Company aud that a quorum was not
present at the meeting at which it was
decided to make the requisition.
Councilman DePierro, having refused
on the 10th inst. to appear and substan-
tiate the allegations concerning the
company made by him, the firemen then
decided to investigate on their own ac-
count, and committee was appointed
for this purpose. Their report impi-
Gated the members named above
All the accused were present last
night. Messrs. Welsh, Boyle and Powell
gavo statements satisfactory to the com
pany as to what they had said in answer
to interrogations put to them by Coun-
Gilman DePierro at the time he spoke to
them, which, by the way, was two weeks
after the council had acted upon the
| reqnisition. These three were then ex-
onerated from all charges.
Mr., Gallagher was the last to be
called upon for his explanation. He
protested against the presence of re-
porters and non-members, and no action
being taken on the protest he left the
meeting. A committee of two was
again sent to invite Councilman De-
Pierro to attend the meeting, in order
that all the facts could be brought out
before taking action. The committee
did so and reported he would not come.
The investigation committee then
reported that they had heard Mr.. Gal
lagher say in the presence of the coun-
Gilman that it was he who told Mr.. De-
Pierro and that it was true there was
not quorum at the meeting in ques-
tion. The roll book of the company
showed that quorum was present at
the opening and closing on the date
upon which the requisiton was made
and that the action of the company was
legal and authorized.
A resolution expelling Mr.. Gallagher
immediately followed and it was passed
by the required two-thirds vote.
The per capita tax to the State Fire
mems Association was ordered paid.
The selection Of delegate to attend the
state convention at Lebanon was laid
over until the next meeting.
Thomas J. Moore, Edward Doggctt
and Patrick Breslin were proposed for
active membership.
