Old Negro who Loved Chickens

A better specimen of the old-time south
ern negro who in these modern days has
too great a fondness for poultry than Ed
Wallace, would be hard to find. He told
the judge that he was Sc years old, and he
looked 1t, for his hair was pure white as
was his stubby beard. "Uncle Ed was
arrested very early in the morning several
days ago, in the city limits, with bag of
chickens on his shoulder He told a very
crooked as well as amusing story of his
whereabouts that night. He claimed that
he bought the chickens about II o'clock at
night from man named Goodman at Ely
ton. When he was arrested he claimed
that he had just gotten off the street car
but as they had not started to running
at that hour, he old mans testimony was
not as trustworthy as it might have been.
What time did you get up that morn
ing?" asked the judge.
II wus already up jedge.'

A PHYSICIAN ROYAL.
The American From Whom Slams Mon
arch Takes His Pills.

Baltimore, March 5.-From a far-away
land of sunshine and flowers, of green trees
and tropical breezes, where everything is
warm and fragrant into the heaviest snow
storm and most wintry weather that have
visited this city in twelve years, there has
arrived DR.. 7. Hayward Hays, the physi-
clan, friend and adviser of the King of
Siam, who thirteen years ago left Baltimore
for that country and has been there ever
since.
DR.. Hays left here In 1886, going to Siam
to engage in missionary work, having grad
uated in medicine from the University of
Maryland and later from the College of
Pharmacy. He worked as missionary two
years, and then gave up the work at the
instance of the king, who had decided to
establ- sh hospitals in his country and want
ed American brains to help in his enter
prise.
DR.. Hays entered into the work with zest
and established in Bangkok hospital, a
medical college and lunatic asylum. Pro-
vious to that time there had been no pro-
vision of any sort for the insane of Siam,
andt no care had been taken of Them DR..
Hays also established the only European
hospital in the country, and American and
English sailors are treated there at nom
inal cost Other hospitals were built by
him, and at the death of the kings physi-
clan DR.. Hays was appointed to succeed
him.
In speaking of the country and its people,
Dr. Hays said:
1.-THE young Siamese are progressive and
If you treat them squarely, will treat you
the same way The country is rich in rice,
teak, rubies and sapphires. The king is a
wide-awake man, with European ideas and
a bright mind. Physically he is fine-lookng
and has an impressive personality. He is
endowed with plenty of energy and has the
good of his people at heart. Our capital
city, Bangkok, Is thoroughly lighted with
electricity, and has a population of 300, 900.
The prevailing religion all over the country
Is Buddhism, but there Is no reason why
the Siamese should not embrace Christiani-
ty If they desire, as there is but one man in
the kingdom who is sworn to believe in
Buddha, and that Is the king.
Our city government is based upon the
same principle as the modern city In this
country There is lord mayor and body
corresponding to your city council. Men
who are especially fitted for the work are
placed at the heads of the different depart
ments. There is absolutely no politics in
national or city administration.
1.-THE kings power is absolute, he holding
life and death in his hand. but only on rare
occasions and for aggravated crimes does
he sign death warrants. Slavery has been
done away with by the present king, who
decreed that every child born after he had
taken his seat, although its parents might
have been slaves, would be free

ness in Siam, the rest being in missionary

Observation-Disclosures
The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. right


The lawyers had hot fight in the police
court yesterday morning over the case of
Ira Goggins. charged with assault and bat
terry on A. s. Vandegrift Messrs Thach
and Bondurant appeared for the prosecu-
ton, and Messrs. Bowman and Shugart for
the defense. After the testimony was ell
In, Bondurant made a speech urging that
the defendant be given the full penalty of
the lava fine of 800. Mr.. Bowman fol-
lowed and jumped on Bondurant for being
30 'fire-eating." 1.-THE younger the law
yer" said he, "the more blood-thirsty he
is; always wanting man to be given the
full penalty of the law" Mr. Thach in his
speech jumped on Mr.. Bowman for his at
tack on the younger attorney. II have not
seen a more pitiable sight," said he, than
that of this lawyer trying to bolster up his
own tottering cause by attacking and abus-
ing our young brother here just starting
out In the profession" The attorneys were
part of the trial.
The fight in question took place last Sat-
urday afternoon on First avenue and
Twenty-frst street. Goggins and Vande-
grift, 1t seems, were having a dispute over
a garnishment suit to which Vandegrift
had resorted in order to collect bill from
Goggins. Vandegrift claimed that Goggins
wanted him to remove the garnishment,
and that when he refused to do so, Goggins
struck him blow In the eye and that when
he retreated into Chamblee's store, Cog
gins still followed him up, striking him four
or five ticks. Goggins admitted ell this ex
cept that he claimed Vandegrift had cursed
him before he, Goggins, struck the first
blow.
One of Chamblee's clerks, when on the
stand yesterday, was asked why he didn't
separate the combatants. well, 1 didn't
know" said he, but that the little man
might not have done something for which
he needed a whipping
Judge Feagin said that whether Vande-
grift had cursed Goggins or not, that the
latter was not justified in following up his
first blow and furnishing Vandegrift so Sc
verely He fined him s25
At the time of the ARRAY Goggins had
with him C. j. Beasley, an employee of his,
who will be tried this morning for being
an accessory to the fight. Several of the
witnesses yesterday testified that Beasley
had run his hand in his pocket, at the same
time warning the crowd to keep back in
order that the fight should not be broken

work. A good many years ago the Ameri-
can flag was often seen in the harbor of
Bangkok, and American schooners did q
brisk trade there. OF late years, however,
an American boat is a rarity, and the trade
has been lost in some way.
1.-THE climate. of course, is warm. the
temperature never going below so degrees.
Everybody stops work at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon and turns to the clubs for amuse-
ment. There is a great deal Of drinking,
and with the malarial nature of the coun-
try it cannot be wondered at that men drop
off suddenly. 1t is not uncommon to meet
a man at a club one afternoon and on the
next be invited to his funeral. Notwith-
standing this, the country is good place
for young men with energy, and 1t is not
a difficult task to be successful.
II wish to correct a popular but errone-
Gus idea that Bangkok is an inaccessible
place to tourists. 1t can readily be reached
from either Hongkong or Singapore by ex-
cellent steamers. 1t is only five days to
Hongkong and four days to Singapore. Peo-
pie who travel around the world should
know that 1t does not break up their trip to
stop in and see Bangkok

MONEY TO LOAN


1.-The Alabama Home" has so perfected Its
plan that borrowers have many valuable
options of settlement. Allowing the with
drawal value of the stock with accumu-
lated profits after seventy-two months to
be withdrawn and credited direct on loan
enables borrower to know in advance al
most the exact cost of loan. illustrating
the above we here give you the cost of a
$500 loan when the borrower repays 500
direct on his loan each year and withdraws
the stock in seventy-two months. (Of
course any amount can be figured in the
same way from $500 to $1,000:
$500 Loan: When the borrower pays $500
per month In dues and repays 500 of the
loan each year and settles with the COM
