policy OF the government in the Philip
pines, claiming it was in conflict with the
constitution, the Declaration of indie
pendence. the Monroe doctrine, the laws
of nations and the holy precepts of our re-
ligiOn.
Gov. Shaw upheld the Republican ad-

vancement of the higher and newer civil
lization which confronts the American
people today"

That VIII Be Done.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. S-Senator
Burrows has written letter to the De-
trolt Evening Journal regarding his
Washington Post interview, in which he
claims his position therein set forth has
been persistently and deliberately misrep-
resented.
The attempt to make it appear from
that interview" he writes, chat I was
hostile to the administration WILL I am
persuaded, be as futile as it is fallacious
There is nothing in the interview justi-
tying such conclusion. and nothing in
fact is further from the truth"
He says there can be no question as to
the correctness of his statement that if
the war in the Philippines is not ended
before the next campaign 1t will be to
the disadvantage of the Republican
party.
But" he says, ST expect to see the
campaign renewed with increased vigor,
and pushed to a successful conclusion"

In every civilized country rich and poor alike have found restored health and new vigor in Paine's celery compound.
 'Hard-working people of ordinary means are to be congratulated" says an English writer in reviewing the scientific work of the last quarter of a century, "upon having so easily within their reach today a remedy which the wealthiest and most influential persons must themselves use, if they would get the best that modern medical skill of fers Paine's celery compound proves that the science of medicine has kept pace with the wonderful progress which characterizes the life of the present generation
 The astonishing reputation that this most wonderful of all remedies has acquired is principally due to the word-of-mouth recommendation and Endorsement of men and women of the highest business and social standing, as well as of those in hum- bier but no less important positions who have themselves discovered it's merits

NO WAY KEEPING
 CORRECT RECORD 0l Value of Buildings Erected in the
 City of Birmingham. AGGREGATE HALF A MILLION If People Took Out Permits For Full
 Yau0 of Improvements. AMOUNT USUALLY CUT IN HALF Report of Chief of Fire Department Mullen Shows $l5o,ooo, But He Says His Figures are Obliged
 to Be Incorrect.
AMOUNT USUALLY CUT IN HALT

My records show" said Chief of the Fire department Mulln, "that 194 building permi.s, aggregating in cost $15O,O04, were granted during 1898. That is absurd. Those figures do not represent one-half of the building of the year in the city of Birming ham.
 'The trouble is that not half of the build CTS of houses apply to the chief of the fire department for permits to erect buildings. In the first place, a person desiring to put up a LOGO building will ask for a permit for a $l0O0 structure, in order to sake ex- penses in the way of fees; and great many builders do not take out permits at all That is not the fault of the fire de- partment-it is the business of the police. It is the duty of the police to look after new buildings and to see whether they are properly authorized.
 lii Common Practice
 "It is a common practice for builders to dodge the requirements of the city council as to new buildings. The fire department has no power to check fraudulent reports That power rests with the police. Many a man desiring to erect a building that must cost, say $l,OOU, reports IL at 9ioU, De- cause he saves something in fees It is absurd, it is a wrong to the city, and 9 deprivation to the taxpayers. Only one man ever yet has overestimated the cost of his building. He asked for permission to put up building to the value of 900. The actual cost of the structure was probably s1O0OO, or may be $15OOO.
 ''The supposition that the building In Bir mingham in 1898 was valued at but $50 900 is silly beyond belief. As I have said, a great many persons build handsome houses without any permit at all; and the men who asks for a permit to erect a $2000 house builds one that costs 5000 or $6,OO0. There- fore the figures I have are absolutely mis- leading In Birmingham proper the buil1- ing of the past year probably reached $50O,- 900, and in the suburbs the structures begun may reach $5,OO0O00. The trouble is that the law as to the permits for the erection of buildings are not enforced and assuredly the fire department hasn't the power to en- force them. That power rests with the police."

GAN MAN BETRIED
 TWICE ON A CHARGE
Point Raised by Attorney for J.
 P. 0'NeaI.
FOR ASSAULT AND BATTERY
Trial Once in the Inferior Court Legislature May Have to
 Pass a New Law.

An interesting and at the same time im- portant question of law was raised in the criminal court yesterday by Chas. B. Powell, representing J. P. O'Neal, white man who was arraigned for trial on an in- dictment charging assault with intent to murder.
 When the case was called Attorney Powell asked that the defendant be dis charged on the constitutional ground that a person cannot twice be placed in jeopardy for the same offence. In support of his mo- ton Attorney Powell stated that O'Neal was arrested by the police on the charge of assault and battery and on this charge was arraigned in the inferior criminal court, and the trial gone into. At the con- clusion of the trial he said that Judge Feagin failed to render decision, but stated in open court that from the evidence adduced that more grievous offence had been committed and he would therefore hold the defendant to the grand jury,
 Under the act creating the inferior criminal court that court is given exclusive Jurisdiction over misdemeanors in 21 and 37. and the contention of Attorney Powell IS that O'Neal has been tried on the charge of assault and battery growing out of the same offence. The question was taken un- der advisement by Judge Greene, who re- served his decision
 If the motion is sustained as question of law, it can readily be seen that unless great care is taken the ends of justice may be easily defeated where a prisoner is bound over from the inferior court after having been tried for a misdemeanor, and it is probable that steps will be taken to have the legislature remedy the matter by the passage of a bill to be prepared by the solicitor. Attorny Powell presented num- Der of authorities in support of his motion, and is confident that 1t will be sustained.
 Juries for the week were organized in the several courts yesterday and the dockets sounded In the first division of the city court the trial of the case of Ira Snapp, ad- ministrator, vs. the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham Railroad company, which came over from last week, was resumed before Judge Wikerson, and promises to claim the attention of the court for several more days. In the second division several cases were disposed of.
 In the chancery court the docket was called and cases set for trial as far pos sibe The call will be continued today, and attorneys having cases on the docket are requested to be present.
 The circuit court was engaged the entire day in the organization of juries, but will take up a case this morning.

MOTION GRANTED.
The Supreme Court Acts in the Cad
 Wallader Case.

Washington January 16.-The United States supreme court today granted a mo- tion for writ of certiorari in the case of Myer and Dickinson vs. John Cadwallader, late collector of customs at Philadelphia. The action has the effect of bringing to this court for review the decision of the circuit court of appeals for the third circuit. The case involves the construction of the tariff of 1883 bearing upon hat trimmings, and has excited much attention. There are about 1000 similar cases pending in the various courts of the country involving anywhere from $5,0O0,O00 to $30,OO0,0OO The present case was first tried in July, 1884, and it has been heard in one way or another in tha supreme court three different times. It grows out of a contention on the part of the importers that velvets, laces and gauges composed of silk used as materials for hat trimmings should be assessed for duty at the rate of 20 per cent. ad valorem under section AS of the act in question, whereas the customs authorities imposed a duty of 50 per cent under section 3S3 of the same law.

 Women who are easily excited, who waste energy worrying over trifles, who are often sufferers from sick headache and nervous ness, should read the plain. unbiased state- ments of what Paine's celery compound has done for other women.
 Among the diseases that cause a vast amount of needless suffering that may be readily cured by Paine's celery compound are biliousness, torpid liver, headaches. sleeplessness. dizziness, constipation, dys- pepsia and general nervousness and debility.
 No man woman who is continually ail- ing can successfully carry on business. or be of much real comfort to the household.
 And only a thoroughly nourished body that has all the used-up, and therefore harmful, material promptly removed from the blood and tissues can be healthy When either of these vital conditions of adeouate repair or elimination are incompletely done. the organs need just such help as Paine's celery compound is fitted to give. No other remedy Is so valuable.

MILITARY BAND.
Third Regiment Musicians Form an
 Organization

The Third regiment band is now certain ty. About eighteen of the leading musi- clans of Birmingham met with Colonel Hig- don at the armory of the Jefferson Volun- teers Sunday afternoon and a permanent organization was established.
 Dr. Y. E. Holloway will manage the new military band, and Professor Judge has been chosen as musical director, so the lovers of music in Birmingham can now rest assured of some rare treats during the sultry summer evenings when that tired feeling is so prevalent In short speech Colonel Higdon told the boys that strong pressure would be brought to bear on the city council for an appropriation for the maintainanee of the band in order to give the public the benefit of their music at evening concerts to be held weekly in Cap ttoI Park
 After a permanent organization had been formed Dr. Holloway appointed commit- tee of five to meet at his office Monday af- ternoon at o'clock for the purpose of con- ferrng with Colonel Higdon in regard to in- struments. As a result of this conference Colonel Higdon will shortly take trip to Montgomery and make an urgent appeal upon the state officials for set of fine in- etruments and uniforms. It Is customary in other states to furnish the national guard bands with musical instruments from the military appropriation.
 subcommittee was appointed to draft a constitution and bylaws, which are to be rigidly enforced. These are to be presented at the meeting to be held tonight at the arnlory of the Volunteers, when the first practice will be had. Professor Judge has distributed sheets of music to all the boys, and by borrowing, buying and taking, enough instruments have been gotten to- gether for the regular work to begin to- night
 After the band has become sufficiently practiced, arrangements have been made with the Birmingham Railway and Electric company and concerts will also be given at East Lake.

A HEAVY FOG
Visits Birmingham for the First Time
 in Years.

Last night at the hour when graveyards yawn, Birmingham was wrapped in a wind ing sheet of dense gray fog for the first time in years. This wondrous valley to which history has given the common name of Jones, is almost unacquainted with fogs, but last night the gray pail fell down and en- veloped all visible space. The electric lights were dimmed The other side of the street was almast like the other side of the world, and men and women pursuing their way were indefinable shadows in the gloom
 The unwonted scene was almost awful in it's werdness. The shadows of belated passersby seemed like ghosts from ghost ly shore. The stiffness was intense. Even the electric cars did not seem to break, so dull were their lights, so duled their rumble over the ribbons of sreel.
 More than half Birmingham was asleep, and more than half the city failed of an experience that does not come twice in a generation.
 It was wondrously beautiful, that magical fog at midnight. It transformed all things, glorified the commonplace, and made this city a Delectable Land. The blocks of stately structures took on the forms of palaces and even the lowly structures built by human hands became the silvered abodes of fairies
