 Chrisenberry is a well-liked young man, who has acquired quite a reputation To- cally as fast bicycle rider. He has po- sition at the big pipe works. The brothers of the bride. it is understood, objected to the match, owing to her youth.
 It is understood that many of the old employees of the big pipe works, who were discharged at the time of the founding of the American Pipe and Foundry company, are to be reinstated. Several former em- --ployes of the company have already been given their old positions in the mechani- cal department It Is rumored that John Thomson, now of Glasgow, Scotland. will return to take permanent position at the works.

Which form the basis of many "methods" now so prevalent. Such treatment might avail eac1e- thing if Catarrh was only local irritation of the membranes. But the disease is not on the surface the discomforting irritation of the lining of the throat is not the dis ease itself, but simply 8 mani- festation of it. Catarrh is Q deep-seated, constitutional blood disease, and it is as easy to put out fire with sheet of paper as to hope to cure it with local appliea- tions. Don't mistake temporary relief for benefit. Those who last season thought themselves bene- fited by this treatment will see their mistake as soon as the first chilling blast of winter is felt.

Reckling Harness Factory

Another thriving industry which has grown with Birmingham is the harness fac tory ofsA. c. Reckling. Just sixteen years ago Mr. Reckling opened an insignificant little repair shop on Nineteenth street where the handsome building of Loveman 6, Joseph now stands. He was an expert harness-maker and did all the work him. self Several large concerns recognizing the excellence of his work began to patron ize him and his business grew so large that additional men had to be hired, until to- day he works twelve men besides his book keeper Nothing but skilled labor is em- ployed, and everything from goat harness at $1.5O up to the finest harness for carriage horses is manufactured.
 In this busy factory are manufactured harness, collars, saddles, lap robes, horse blankets, tarpaulins, etc.
 As soon as the business began to grow MT. Reckling put up for sign a large black horse, and 1t has grown so familiar that every child in the district recognizes as synonomous the name of Reckling, and the sign of the big black horse.
 The factory is now situated on Nineteenth street dsrectly opposite the place of It's foundation. and an hour spent here in watching the manufacture of harness would be highly instructive as well as en- tertaining to any one who would take the tina

Hunter Reaches Washington

Washington, February 21-Hon. Godfrey Hunter, of Kentucky, minister of the United States to Guatemala and Honduras, arrived in Washington today. Speaking to- night of the general depression in Guate- mala, he says it is due to the low price coffee has been bringing during the past two years. Dr. Hunter expresses the opin- ion that matter that intereferes with our trade with Guatemala and other South American countries is the disregard of our manufacturers for the wishes of the people. The Germans secure the best of trade, not because their manufacturers are any bet ter, but for the simple reason that they sell the people what they want and put 1t up for them as they want 1t shipped.

There Is very heavy demand on Morris avenue for Irish potatoes, which the com mission merchants and the brokers are entirely unable to supply. About ten car loads of them, valued at about $500 each, it is estimated, were frozen in Birmingham during the bitter weather last week, to say nothing of those lost in the surrounding country. Heavy shipments are now on the way from Michigan, Wisconsin and other northern states, and the situation will soon be relieved. But in the mean time prices have risen very perceptibly.

Those who have had Catarrh for any length of time know that each winter finds them more firmly in the grasp of the disease than before.

General Weston says that the soldier
Of the Colorado regiment who has

evidently was misinformed about the
exorbitant prices which were being
paid for supplies in the Philippines.
Sugar is bought about 40 per cent.
cheaper than in the United States; rice
Is so per cent. cheaper and consider
able reduction is found in the prices Of
beef purchased in Australia and the
prevailing prices in Chicago. The gov
ernment saves transportation on these
articles. As to other articles which
are part of the commissary store
bought by the department and sold to
the officers and men at cost price, Gen.
Weston says there is no possibility Of
loss to the government upon them.
The cornmissary department does not
purchase wines except for the hospi-
tails. These are bought upon the rec
ommendation of the surgeons and the
money for them comes out of the 40

Manila's Big Rainfall In Jolly.
Washington, Sept. lS-The first Off
cial record from the Manila central OBJ
servatory, now under American con-
troll, has been received at the navy de-
partment. The month was record
breaker and indicates the hardships
which must have been imposed upon
the troops by the unusual climatic con-
ditions. The rainfall for the entire
month aggregated 40. 500 inches, the
extent of which may be judged by the
fact that weather bureau statistics
show that the rainfall in New York for
an entire year is only 447 inches.

he represents, has gone to join Aguin-
aldo and report his complete failure
Agoncillo was not only commissioned
to seek recognition for the Tagals as
an independent power, but he was in
structed to intrigue for foreign inter
ference that would complicate mat
ters so as to compel the United States
to make terms with the insurgents.
Every plan OF the Filipino leaders has
failed IL is said.
