The horse is a handsome animal and the splendid gift came as a great surprose to MT Boots.

Ex-Governor John Young Brown, in clos ing the case, referring to William Goeoel, characterized him as a leader of men ana the manner of his taking off accursed. The State had failed to make out a case con meeting Caleb Powers with the murder lie attacked the theory of the prosecution that the bullet cut from the hackberry tree was the one which killed Goebel. If the bullet ir. passing through Goebers body fell, as the doctors testified, it would have en- tered the ground before striking the hack berry tree. This theory, if followed out by mathematical calculation, would take the shot to a point eight feet above the sill of the window in Caleb Powers office The mathematical calculations of every civil engineer who had testified here, II followed to its logical end, proved that fact.
 He ridiculed the idea that the mountain army was brought to Frankfort for the purpose of intimidation murder as tes- tifed to by Noakes, Culton and Golden, and said it was not creditable to the intel Hgence of the prosecution that they should have accused Powers of entering into a conspiracy with 12,000 men. He declared Coulton Golden and Noakes absolutely un- worthy of belief.

IN THE INTEREST
 OF STATE FAIR Mass Meeting Has Been Called
 for Monday Night. MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS President Falkner Submitted an Outline of His Plans, Which Provide for
 n, Splendid Exhibition-The Grounds to be Visited
MEETING OF THE DIRECTORS

A mass meeting of the members of the Commercial Club, the Board of Trade and the citizens of Birmingham will be held Monday night for the purpose of pushing along the proposed State Fair to be held in Birmingham in November. The time in which to make arrangements for the fair is liimted, and what is done must be done at once.
 A meeting of the directors of the Fair Association was held in the office of the association in the Chalifoux building yes terday afternoon and the situation dis cussed. Captain J. M. Falkner of Mont gomery, the originator and promoter of the Fair Assoicauon and it's president, was present and presented a general outline of scme of his plans for State Fair. If these are carried out and they will be if Cap tain Falkner remains at the head of the association, it will be the most complete exhibit of the resources and manufactured products of Alabama that has ever been assembled at any place. It will be on a most elaborate plan and will comprehend every line of industry and enterprise in the State from the farm to the mine and from the saw mill to the steel mill.
 u WdS tHe lHteHtlon ol the uirectoiS to make an inspection of the fair grounds in the western portion of the city yesterday afternoon, but they were deterred from so uv4ng by rain. They will drive out to the grounds this morning and while there will inspect the buildings and other equipments and ascertain what changes, improvements and additions will be necessary.
 It is the desire of the directors that every citizen of Birmingham who can pos slbly do so attend the meeting in the Com mercial Club rooms Monday night. To some extent the fate of the fair depends on the success of this meeting.

AN INDIAN STORY
Recalled by the Discovery of the Cave
 in Old Cliff

Huntsville, Aug. 17-(Special. )-The dis covery of an artificial sarcophagus in an old cliff on the Hewlett property, near Cur ley, and the skeleton of an Indian giant, has revived an old Indian story of silver mine in that locality, and the people are very much excited. They intend to make a close investigation.
 Several years ago an Indian visited Wentworth Cove and told one of the resi- dents there that if he would go with him he would locate an old Indian silver mine. William Acuff accompanied the Indian, who, when in the mountains, lodged him and disappeared MT. Acuff finally found ten-foot hole freshly dug, out Of which 1t is believed the Indian secured the buried treasure.
 It is known that an Indian camp was located in that vicinity more than d hun dred years ago, and many skulls have been ploughed up during recent years.

Stiil Getting Evidence

Huntsville, Aug. 17.-(Special)-The com- mittee appointed by the people of Lincoln county to ascertain the guilt of Tom Bibb, charged with an assault upon Mrs. Alonzo Gillham, is still in Madison County collecting evidence. The result of their re- search has not been announced.
 The committee was non-plussed by the re- moval of Bibb to the Nashville jail, and it is hardly probable that any further steps will be taken by the mob.

The Queen IN Tears.

Then her majesty passed over the
corridor into thee Lower North ward
where there were more cases of con.
valescent wounded, says the London
Chronicle. 1t was here that one or
two little incidents occurred which
will long live in the minds of those
who witnessed them. Private King,
of the Connaught rangers, was in the
fighting line at Colenso when Gen.
Butler suffered defeat. King was shot
Is times in that action and there is
no wonder that he was reported dead.
When her majesty came to his bed and
the story of his simple heroism was
unfolded-how, undaunted by the
deadly hail Of shot and shell, and in
spite of wound after wound, he kept
his place in the fighting line ~ the
queen was lost in the woman, and one
or two silent tears found their way
down her cbsek as she comforted the
young Irishman who had so nobly up
held the splendid traditions of his
race.

AN UNTOLD STORY.
A Newspaper Man Who knew sOme-
thing Besides MOIding Public
Opinion.

You can never tell in America from
what station in life a successful man
started or what he may have gone
over in the way of stepping stones,
says the Detroit Free Press. Not so
very long ago a Detroit newspaper
man was about to start downtown in
a hurry, for that extra five winks''
had kept him in bed too long.
Jack" said his wife, as she pre-
scented the defaulting vessel, this
copper kettle has sprunk aleak and
we need it right now. Take it to that
shop on the corner and tell them to
have it back here in an hour, sure"
"All right" and he went swinging
down the street at his best walking
pace, "Here," he said to the pro-
prietor of the shop, who was reading
another medical discovery, 'look at
Chat. just about as good as a sieve.
Better put a new bottom in. Have it
back to the house in an hour. They're
waiting for it,"
'Can't do it. All the men are out,
and if the best of them was here it
would take him more than an hour
to do the work"
GO on. 1 wouldn't hire a work
man that couldn't do that job in 30
minutes"
"Say, you fellers think you're so
smart. If you can mend that in half
an hour I'll furnish the material, send
the kettle to the house and throw in
one of these new gas stoves. Now
then"
Now, then" echoed the newspaper
man as he threw off two coats. he
called for what he wanted, and called
right. In just 20 minutes there was
a new copper bottom in the kettle,
The proprietor, whose eyes threat
ened to drop out before the task was
done, looked the work over carefully,
talked to himself and finally said:
"By Georgel 1 haven't a man that
could have done it better. lose. But
say, is there anything you newspaper
chaps can't do?''
ooh, we've got to know pretty much
everything, and Jack hustled into his
coats as he went out, made a running
catch of a street al and called back
to the big-eyed proprietor to send the
things right up. What he did not
tell was that he had learned the trade
Of a tinsmith years before.

VALUE OF ADMIRATION.
Spirits by Higher Ex-
RmpIes.

We live by our admirations, and not
by our eynicism. We must constantly
kfRdIe the flame of our spirits by
great examples, says the Christian
Register. we must return again and
again to thip source for renewal to
light the torch of emulation, to kim
die the ethical passion that leads t.
better living and lifts existence for
the moment above all that is selfish
and sordid. Easily we forget the
aims and principles that once moved
us out of low places and helped us to
climb. Therefore, we must be con
stantly reminded of what life ought
to be by looking up to those who have
made it great, If we were not con-
stantly stirred by examples showing
what life may become, we should
easily sink into lethargy of soul that
portends death.
Constantly must we keep before us
as beacon lights those natures that
have produced the finest human fruit
that have pushed the world onward
by the gift of themseIves-the I'M
bought, uncompensated largess of
those who never could be paid for the
gift of their lives. All literature, re-
Hgion itself, tends to exhibit this tri-
umph of the human soul, the revela-
tion of its hidden strength, the &C.
complishment of the seeming impos-
sible, the uplifting of the eternal
ideal that raises us to new levels OF
perception, and casts CLEANS into the
depths of our own spirits. The in.
stinct for finding true heroes for clear
ing away the foul vapors of Contem,
porary aspersion and m~isconception
of showing their real outlines and
the spirit by which they were stirred
is one of the noblest attributes of hui
manity.

Good for the Eyes.

A famous oculist once gave this adj
vice to a lady who consulted him about
her eyes, says Good Health: use
much cold water in washing the eyes,
1t is a tonic to them. Ones sight be-
gins to fail as the eyeban begins to
fatten, so when you battle the eyes,
gently squeeze them from side to side
the forefnger at the side of the nose,
the thumb at the opposite side of the
eye-and thus the convexity will be
preserved. When the eyes are weary,
give them rest, and if they smart,
battle them with a weak salt water, al,
lowing it to go inside the lids"

A FRIEND or KINGS.
MS views Did Not Hold when Ii Cnme
to PIaying 3 Game Of
Poker,

A government official, who moved
over on Capitol hill about three
months ago, has been particularly
known on that eminence by his ex-
treme American views and his ever
lasting ~antagonism to thrones and
scepters and everything monarchical,
says the Washington Star. However,
there seems to have come a change
over the spirit of the man, or some
body is disappearing him. A neigh
Dor of his was talking to a reporter
on the car coming down Wednesday
morning.
"You know Blank?" said the neigh
Dor, evidently with suppressed feel
ing.
"The chap who is always smuggling
kings and queens and emperors and
satraps and tycoons in the neck?"
queried the reporter,

81 haven't had the pleasure Of meet
ing him, but I know about him"
"Well, don't get any nearer"
whats the matter with him? Got

'His anti-monarchy talk is all rot.
He's with 'em."

HE is thoroughly un-American,
that's what he is"
How do you know, and why didn't
you find it out ~sooner?"
Last night was the first chance I
ever got him ~cornered."
"How did you manage it?'
The neighbor hesitated a moment
and looked around to see if he would
be overheard.
"WeIl, last night" he said, -four of
us got him into a game of poker. 1t
was a right sharp little game, and
after we had been at it a couple of
hours or so I had everything I owned
on the table and everybody passed out
but him and me. I was dead sure I
had him, and laid down three tens,
and, by crackey, he trotted out three
kings. Kings, mind you. Three kings.
And him everlastingly talking to us
about that kind of cattle. If that
wasn't an un-American trick to play
on me, what in thunder do you call
it?" And the reporter was shocked be-
yond expression that such a man
should be permitted to live in a
throneless land of liberty.

AR1Is1IG MILLINERY.
Points for Amateurs WHO Wiah 70
DO Their own Hat
Trtmmtmr.

It is necessary chat, besides artistic
taste and lightness OF touch, the home
milliner possess a certain amount of
technical knowledge. The amateur
milliner, too. must never be too
proud to accept hints from those who
have learned the business.
The first thing to do in trimming
a hat is to partly insert the head
lining. This, says the Washington
Star, should always be of good qual-
ity ~sarcenet. A quarter of a yard cut
on the bias is sufficient for a hat, so
that the difference in the cost of a
good lining and a common one is very
trifing, while the difference in ap-
pearance is very great. A piece rather
larger than the crown should be cut
from one end and held in its place
with a few stitches at each corner.
The remainder of the strip can be cut
lengthwise into two and joined so as
to make a long strip. This can be
fastened to where the brim and
crown meet, using long stitches inside
the hat and very small ones outside.
The free edge can then be turned ver
and hemmed, and when the hat is
finished china ribbon should be run
through the hem and drawn up to
the required size.
To bind the edge of a hat with vel
vet a crossway strip must be used.
One edge can be turned over and Sc
cured with ''velyet stitch"-i. e., work
ing from right to left, and taking .
small piece on the fold and then a
small piece under the fold just a lit
tie to the left. The free edge is put on
the upper edge of the hat and held
in place with half back stitching. The
other edge is then turned to the un-
der side of the brim.
The fold around the crown must be
laid on very loosely and secured in
one or two places with double knots
passed through and tied inside the
hat. Feathers, wings or quilts should
next be securely sold with double cot
ton in any desired position. 1t is inn
portant to make them stand high, as
amateurs always sew them down as
low as possible, thus giving the hat
a dowdy appearance.
In making bows # is always advisa-
BILE to have a picture of a bow and
copy it first in glazed calico cut to
the width of the ribbon. The calico
ribbon should be held over the fore
finger of the left hand, while the ends
should be plated up tightly and Sc
cured with florists wire with theright
hand. 1t will then be seen whether
the effect is right, and the loopsof the
real ribbon can be made the right
length to give the right effect. I'm
less the ribbon is OF a very soft make
the loops need not be wired. If sup
ports are needed, some round bonnet
wire should be twisted to form AIT
ter 4 and the cross part Of thS i at
tacbed to the ribbon.
E0ce should always be wired with
very fmc wire, bUtlace wings require
rather a coarser wire.
If piece material is used, it should
always be cut on the cross, as it sets
so much better and is so much more
easy to manipulate than when it is
cut on the straight.
