 Dr. R. M. Cunningham who was to have made an address, was detained in Mont gomery on important public business, and therefore could not keep his engagement.
 Hon. Sterling A. Woods address was full of wit and common sense, and was warmly applauded. The jokes he got off at the expense of the M. D.'s provoked much laughter.
 Dr. Wyman, in presenting the diplomas read a short speech, which was at once sympathetic, suggestive, stimulating and eloquent.

St. Louis March 29.-John c. Sheehan, the New York Tammany chieftain, arrived here today from Hot Springs, Ark, and is stopping at the Planters hotel. In the course of an interview he said:
 "In my opinion Bryanism is stronger than ever in the west and south, and these por- tions of the country practically dominate the democratic party.

A great many people think they are suffering from something else and have tried many medicines in vain, when if they could realize that it is catarrh and take Pe-ru-na for it they would improve promptly and soon re- cover entirely.

POLICE COURT

Rosa Carter woman well known in po- lice circles in Birmingham, was convicted yesterday morning of dsorderly conduct and of having walked on the streets of the city after o'clock at night She caused a great deal of trouble as she was being put into the prison and tried to offer forci- ble resistance. Judge Feagin came in for his full share of her abuse, claiming that he should have much rather believed her statements than those of Capt Oldhams.
 Ed McGrand was also convicted for hay ing been seen walking with Rosa. It was an expensive little stroll this couple took the other night.
 Arthur Dorsey, white, and Nose Malone, colored, were picked up for fighting on the streets. On account of their extreme youth, however, the judge turned them loose.
 Don't put me in jail,' pleaded a negro with the judge the other morning, "I want to be out so I can vote next week."
 But negroes don't vote at democratic pri- maries in Birmingham, and even If they did, Judge Feagin don't turn his prisoners out to let them go to the polls.
 There is a case on the docket of the po- lice court against Henry Murphy, colored, for larceny. Officer Leitch caught him the other night in Twentieth street just turn ing into Fourth alley, walking along in his bare feet with his shoes in his hands. He had with him nice ham. a new lard can and loaf of light bread. They looked as they had just been stolen from some kitch- en, and are now at police headquarters awaiting Identification.

IN THE COURTS.
Interstate Commerce Commission Gases
 Submitted.

The cases of the Interstate Commerce commission vs. the Southern Railroad company and others which have been on trial in the United State court for the past few days were yesterday submitted to Judge Bruce, who reserved his decision. The cases are based on the complaints of citizens of Piedmont, that they were be- ing discriminated against. in comparison with Anniston rates, much to their disad- vantage, which were sustained by the com mission after thorough investigation. The question involved in the trial held before Judge Bruce was whether or not a permanent injunction should be granted re- straining the railroads from further dis terminating against Piedmont in disobedi- ence to the orders of the commission which decided against them. The cases will prob- ably be taken to the United States supreme court.

teers, and was one of the battalion thut
presented such Il soldierly appearance
marching through Portland OH their way
to the front last summer. He says: ::
eve have had numerous battles with
the enemy. At first we would march
for miles after, them in the, blazing sun
and fight them, but there are so few
troops here that we had to stop, because
we have to guard the city. So the ma
tives think we are afraid of them, and
now attack US. In two weeks all the
troops will be here, and then it will not
stake long to finish up the enemy. They
must have lost, over 5000 killed, besides
thousands wounded. This war is some
thing terrible. You see sights YOU can

Removing Grease SDots.

both under and over the portion of the
cloth where the grease appears and
press several times with hot iron.
Stretch the portion of the material
where the grease SPOT was over piece
of stiff cardboard-or the top of a small
wooden box will answer the purpose
which has been covered with clean
sheet of blotting paper. Saturate piece
of flannel with rectitied benzine and rub
the right side of the material, moving
the flannel quickly in circular direction
to prevent the grease from spreading.
Use plenty of benZne and continue to
rub until it has evaporated, then remove

place.
Dip a small brush into boiling water,
soap it, and rub the portion of the fabric
which was touched by the benzine, then
sponge off the soap and rub the material
