of Clopton, Herbert & Chambers was formed This was at the time the most eminent law firm in Alabama, and t is most interesting to note how it was dis solved. Clopton was elevated to the su- preme bench, and Herbert became the iirst Aiabamian to hold place in the cabinet of the president of the United States. Meantime Chambers had withdrawn pract- cally to become president of the First Na- tional bank of Montgomery. He married daughter of his law partner, Judge Clop- ton. The story of his connection with the bank of which he was president was almost romantic Chambers had no money as the phrase goes He had been born to property, but that property had passed away with the confederate cause. The late Dr. Bald win, one of the noblest citizens of Mont gomery has ever had, was attracted to young Chambers, and one day he sent Tor the young man to inform him that he dhe president of the bank, desired William l.. Chambers to be a director Of the pahk. Chambers expressed his gratitude for this mark of favor from the first citizen oi Montgomery, but declared that he not only did not possess the necessary sl,OVO In the banks stock, but hadn't the money to pay for it.
 That's all right observed Dr. Baldwin. "I'n advance the money for you"
 And so he did. Chambers became direc- tor and soon paid pr. Baldwin the s1,00o ad- vanced. Afterwards he became himself the president of the bank, pr. Baldwin dying lamented by every respectable person in Montgomery. The present president of the bank is pr. Baldwin's son, A. Martin Bald win.
 It is not possible to deal further with the life of Chief Justice Chambers, of Samoa, and so I am come to speak of him person. ally as I know him. In special matter l was in his service for a few weeks, and, though 1 had known him intimately for many years, I came to know him better. He is one of the most engaging men l have known. He is strong, brave, resolute, cool, collected, conservative. He is one of the most companionable of men, and one of the truest of friends. His eyes laugh all the day long, and his heart beats with the kindest of human impulses He seems to slip into the affections of men, and l can comprehend that his influence in Samoa is paramount overmastering. It is far cry from Montgomery to Apia, but not too far for the reach of the affectionate esteem and neighborly sympathy of thousands of Alabamians to reach "Will" Chambers. When love unites wide space divides in vain. LUCIEN JULIEN WALKER,

AN ALABAMA
 KING MAKER
Something of Chief Justice
 Chambers of Samoa.
HOW HE BECAME A BANKER
Was Appointed by Cleveland at the So- lieitation of Hon. Hillary A. Her bert Member of a Distin-
 guished Southern Family.

Few facts in the history of the day are more striking than that the son of an Ala bama slave owner should by international sanction become a king maker in a cluster of isles far out upon the bosom of the Pa cific ocean.
 The Hon. William Lea Chambers, the chief justice of the Samoan islands, the present political condition of which may lead to war between the United States and Germany, Is, according to what may be called minor treaty of Berlin, the sole au thority empowered to name king when the throne becomes vacant.
 Chief Justice Chambers was appointed by President Cleveland at the solicitation of Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert, the old law partner of the strong Ameri- can in the far isles upon whom the eyes of the world are now turned, and who may be the central figure in drama which may involve the world in war. No other man since Alabama became state has done so much for Alabama asp rants for public of- fee as Colonel Herbert
 The chief justice of Samoa, upon whom the world now looks with interest, was born in Russell county, Alabama, about forty-eight years ago. His father, Colonel Chambers, was man of great ability and the highest character uprghtness sheer ity, and soundness of judgment. Nearly twenty years ago the democratic congress- ional convention of the old Third district, got tied up in Eufaula for two days on the simple question of representation. After interminable wrangling Delegate w. P. Pinckard, then a young representative of Lee county, and now leading citizen of Birmingham, made a brilliant speech, at the conclusion of which he moved that the questions involved be left absolutely to the decision of Colonel Chambers The motion was. unanimously adopted, and Colonel Chambers rendered just decision and the deadlock was broken.
 The chief justice of Samoa studied law and removed to Montgomery some twenty odd years ago. His ability, his shrewdness, his remarkable foresight attracted the at- tention of men like Colonel Herbert Hon. supreme court, and in ante -belum days a member of congress; pr. Baldwin, presi- dent of the First National bank of Mont gomery, and other notable men of the state capital, including former Chief Justice Sam uel Rice, the greatest wit and one of the most eminent lawyers of Alabama.
 Colonel Herbert, then a member of con- gress had removed from Greenve to Mont gomery, and he and Judge Clopton invited young Chambers to become a partner of theirs in the law. AS a result the law firm

MAKE A TEST OF srUART's DYSPEPSIA
 TABLETS.

No trouble is more common or more mis- understood than nervous dyspepsia. Peo- pie having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stom- ach is the organ to be looked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor per- haps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every organ In some cases the heart pal pilates and is irregular; in others the kid neys are affected in others the bowels are constipated, with headaches; still others are

 The people of Dennison. Tex, were doubt less surprised when. twenty-four years ago, if was announced that Mrs. Howe, a re- spectable resident of that city had given birth to a baby boy, weighing ten pounds. But even in their widest imagination they could not conceive that he would develop into the huge mass of flesh and bones that he has.
 MT Howe is twenty-four years old, and has been continually on public exhibition for eleven years, during which time he has been extremely successful.
 A reporter called at 219 Nineteenth street, where MT. Howe is on exhibition, and found him sitting inside the enclosure which he occupies, contentedly puffing fragrant cigar, and evidently enjoying 1t hugely.
 'I do not smoke much" he said-"only cigar occasionally. I don't use tobacco in any other form and do not drink any intox- icart. Consequently. I am as healthy as pig Was never sick day in my life.
