IMPORTANT DECISION
Henry School Tax Declared Constitu-
 tional by Supreme Court

The Henry school law has been declared constitutional by the supreme court.
 The Henry law was introduced by M. V. Henry, who represented Jefferson county in the state legislature in 1S9O-M It levies a special tax of cents on the $100 of all property in the county for school purposes, and in the aggregate amounts to between $15,00O and $2O,000 year.
 Two or three years ago the Southern Railway company paid the tax under pro- rest and later brought suit in the city court of Birmingham to recover the amount so paid. It was claimed that the law was un- constitutional, and when the case came be- fore Judge Wilkerson his decision sustained that view. J. B. Francis, the tax collector, appealed the case to the supreme court, and in decision handed down by that body the case is reversed and rendered. The law is held to be constitutional.

POLICE COURT


Standing room only" was the order of the day at Justice Feagln's matinee yester- day morning, when the second bell rang for the curtain to rise.
 The boudolr of the presiding genius was tastefully decorated and embelllshed by the slightly presence of nine tenths of every old weather-beaten soak in town, who knew their rights and asserted them; con- sequently it was difficult matter to ob- tain entrance to the sacred temple of jus tice. In fact, no one but an alderman, bluecoat or a newspaper man could by any Machiavelian stroke of diplomacy persuade the stalwart doorkeeper to admit him. fif- teen minutes after the temple doors were open, unless he could prove that he had business within. Even the favored throng- who by dint of much muscle and cheek and crowding had gained an envied vantage ground-were properly thinned out by or der of Chief Austin, the business of the court being seriously retarded by the denseness of this day-after- Christmas crowd Without any preliminaries the ge- nius touched the button and the ball conn menced to roll-past the throne- an endless chain-a perpetual motion that Kelly never dreamed of To partlcularze among so many stellar attractions would be inyldi- ousness itself, but in point of the number of the acts, trunks were far ahead in the stretch. There were "woosey' drunks and serious trunks; generous trunks and cry ing trunks.
 The winters sun gleamed through the stained glass windows of the court room, and meeting the glare from hundreds of swollen, flaming eyes within, caused a ruby cast to rest upon the classic walls of the court
 But there were other cases. Many other well-intending people in white and black, rot to mention tan, or "yallah,' entirely forgot themselves Christmas Day, and trespassed and cast stones at one another, and took things that they knew were not their own, and committed many other fool ish. not to say wicked acts. There were others-the heavy villians the tragedlans, those who with knife or gun did slice or puncture some friend or foe, and then claimed they were playing. The role of 'heavy man was indeed successfully en- acted Chrisamas Day by several persons, and they did very we'll.
 The case against John Vaughan, a car penter, who slashed and cut Tony Smoc-.
  Bell Top saloon Christmas Day, was con- tinued until January ,.
 The of J. D. Pattie, the conductor on the Ensley line of the Blrmin snam Elec- tric Railway, who shot Peter Jones (col- cred) in Second avenue was continued un- til Thursday week. January 4, Pattle be- ing under a 5000 bond.
 In fact all the more important cases were continued to make room for the minor parts, and 1t was a cosmopolitan crowd that passed in review before His Honor"
 The Christmas 'jag" was adjudged a grievous crime and a number of heavy assessments were levied against this class of offenders. Aggravated cases were given the limit, and sympathy played small part in the exciting drama.
 The box office receipts were heavy, and the aggregation will probably play a re- turn engagement next year.

Will Golson, the negro who shot and killed chief Deputy Sheriff Robert Warnoek in November 1898, will hang on February 9, 1900
 In affirming the decision of the lower court the. supreme court fixed that date for the execution, and preparations are .belng made to carry out the sentence of the court.
 Golson was wanted by the authorities for some felony he had committed, and the officers went to his house to arrest him. As Warnock went in at the front door Golson opened fire him with fatal effect and then made his escape before the ether officers could get to him.
 He was a fugitive for se1 eral weeks, but the officers finally effected his arrest.
 He was tried in the criminal court of Jefferson county and convicted of murder in the first degree, the jury fixing the death penalty.
 An appeal was taken to the supreme court, but the rulings of the lower court were affirmed.
 The same gallows used in the execution of Frank Cook seV9~al months ago, will give Golson his std t to that other and unknown world.

Hoar and the Protest of Aguinaldo

"Washington, 14th September-In the ses- sion of the senate MT. Hoar has combatted today with energy the resolution proposed by McEnery. He assures that this pro- position does not offer to the Filipinos any hope of autonomy and of liberty. It has set to fever heat the planters of Louisiana. He has added that the appeal directed by Aguinaldo to the people of the United States is a document so notable that there are not in the world ten men capable of editing another equal, and he does not un- derstand how there could be a single North American, unless he has a heart of stone, who does not undeystand the valor Of the appeal made by the Filipino chief"

BURNED THEIR WAY OUT.
Novel Method Adopted by Ensley City
 Jail Birds

Two thieves incarcerated in the Ensley City jail, wishing to be free set fire to the building, and before any one could be noti- fled hole large enough to allow the two men to escape had been burned and away they went. There were four prisoners in the jail, but the other two would not take advantage of their unfair opportunity to escape but on the contrary loudly called for help, and help responding, the fire was put out. The two prisoners were bicycle thieves the two that remained being held on some other charge. The building was easy to burn, being wood, and once ignited it was easy for the men to get away. The jail was a one-story frame building and valued at $400.

"The battle of yesterday in the division of San Fabian and Magalang, in which was begun a movement of advance of the enemy, was entirely satisfactory to our forces The Yankee troops retreated on account of tho losses which the fierce firing of our soldiers caused them One hour later they renewed the attack much more decisively, but this time, as the first they did not gain their purpose, having to re- tire to their positions. In this second att tack Lieutenant Colonel Canlas had the misfortune of being wounded by a Mauser bullet. The wound is of reserved prognosis. Our troops continued, ceasing to fire, through the barrios of Magalang to San the compartment of our column command ed by the aforementioned Lieutenant Col onel Canlas. In Paruaw the enemy had the same luck, being severely punished. The losses at this point of the enemy were numerous Wheeer's brigade also attack ed Conception yesterday, but the coldiers of General Conception were supposed to give him merit. Notice has been received of a column of the enemy's cavalry hay ing appeared in the Jurisdiction of San Jose (Nueva Eciia), which is believed has come from Talavera, the town which had been evacuated by the enemy on the 7th day of the month. To combat the said column there went out last night to said point column of infantry commanded by Colonel Simon. Rumor has it this after noon that Conception and Bamban have fallen into the hands of the enemy"

SLAVERY INEVITABLE.
Ii the Ultinats white Colonization Of
the African Tropics,

The iron age IL fifty insugursted by
the most degraded relationship that
man can bear 10 nan-that Of slavery.
Only the oldest Of modern colonies
initiate the mother countries in pass
ing through this stage; in those Of
later foundation a mere shadow Of it
remains, or it takes other shapes.
ColoniEts first enslave the natives Of
the country where they settle. In
the South American colonies, where
they went to find gold, they would
work for no other purpose; they there
fore needed the natives to till the soil;
they needed them also as carriers.
For these purposes they were used IN
tcrupulously. They were distributed
among the Spaniards under q system
Of repartimientos which repeated the
provisions of Greek and Roman
f.avery, and was itself reduplicated
three centuries later in the convict
assignment system Of New South
Wales. With such savage cruelty was
1t worked that, according 10 the tes-
timony Of Columbus, siI-seVenths of
the population Of HiEpaniola died IN
der it in few years. The same form
Of slavery, but Of a very different
character, prevailed in Africa down
almost TO our own times. In the Brit
ish colonies it was submerged in 1884,
from causes exterior to itself, by the
humanitarian wave that wrecked the
West Indies; in the French colonies
it was abolished by the revolutionary
government Of 1848; in the Dutch
colonies it possibly subsists to this
day. Theoretically abolished or not,
the relationship between civilized
whites and savage blacks must be
everywhere a modified form of slay-
cry; and a white colonization of the
African tropics can only take place
under conditions indistinguishable
from a limited slavery.-James Col
lier, in Popular Science Monthly.

No Lady Would Do
Such a Thing.

No lady would take her watch when
out Of order, to the first person who dis
played the sign Watches Regulated
and Repaired" But she would carefully
enquire for man whose acknowledged
skill entitled him to take in charge the
delicate mechanism.
How much more careful should a
woman be, when she herself is disor-
derded, not to entrust the delicate and
complex mechanism Of her being to the
first man or woman who displays the
sign Medical Advice Given" No sign
is TO be trusted which says Medical
Advice Given" and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by ply
stefan. An accredited physician will put
his title with his name Suppose sign
reads, medical Advice Given by a
Man" What woman would rot in
stantly say, "The fact of being man
doesn't qualify him to give medical ad-
vice. He must be a physician to do
that" But suppose the sign reads:
Medical Advice Given by Woman"
Is not the fact Just as patent that being
a zy0maH does not qualify her to give
medical advice. The woman must be
a physician to do that. Medical advice
given by an unskilled woman is Just as
dangerous as if given by an unskilled
man.
In inviting sick and ailing woman to
consult him by letter without charge,
DR.. Pierce points to an experience and
practice Of over thirty years, devoted
specially to diseases peculiar to women.
In that time DIR. Pierce and his associate
staff Of medical specialists have success
fully treated more than half a million
women. All correspondence is treated
as strictly private and sacredly con6den-
tial. Letters are promptly answered, and
the answers are mailed in perfectly plain
envelopes, without any printing upon
them. Write without fee and without
fear to DIR. r. v. Pierce, chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
