 Astrologer Raphaelss prophecies for Wednesday, December g. 1900:
 "Uncertain; be very careful"
 Avoid new enterprises and run no risks of any sort; thou wilt quarrel and be in danger of law; females are in a great dan ger of being imposed upon, and must be very careful of the opposite sex, and not put any faith in promises
 "A child born on this day will have a diversity of fortune, sometimes very sue cessful, and then suddenly it will lose all and be in poverty; if female. she will conduct herself very carelessly, and be led Into trouble in early lfe.' 'The good judgment, good taste, and tact shown by President Jelks, now acting Gov ernor of Alabama, ever since the day when opposition to him for the presidency of the
 
 remarkable as to call for the highest praise," said A. R. Moody last night.
 No other man in this State was ever before placed in so delicate and so trying a position MT. Jelks and no man in any state could have conducted himself more admirably. For two weeks before his unanimous nomination by the Demo- cratic caucus of the Senate for the presi- dency of that body, it seemed probable, on account of the acute and mournful illness of Colonel Sanford, that upon Mir JeIks would devolve the office of Governor: yet amidst all the temptations and provocations of the days of great anxiety and excite ment he never uttered a word or did an act that was not entirely becoming that was not praiseworthy And this wise dis cretion controlled him up to the hour of his assuming the Governorship teday He has demonstrated most clearly that he is a cool-headed. calm minded, intellectual. and thoroughly capable and trustworthy leader His conduct during the past four weeks when he has moved in the full glare of public light, has been perfect These facts concerning the man of the hour in the States affairs impress me very powerfully; and I put my faith in MT. Jelks though I never saw him. and

 Ihe bill for regulating the sale of mor- phine, cocaine and similar deadly drugs will come up in the House of Representa- tiyes at Montgomery on Thursday, and you will perhaps be astonished to know that there is active opposition to the humane and moral measure" said a man who takes a deep and constant interest in the public wellbeing.
 Tt is amazing that there should be open and avowed opposition to a proposed law which seeks to regulate the indiscriminate, reckless and universal sale of the most per- nicious of drugs to children, the ignorant and the negroes! The wild and reckless selling of these drugs constitutes the gray est danger which now cenfFonts the people, and it is sad to believe that any we'll meaning person would desire to see this monstrous evil perpetuated The Legisla- ture will fall far short of its duty and short of a crying public demand if it fail to en- act the proposed law" Former United States Marshal A.

 Maj. T. w. Pratt of Huntsville was in | Birmingham yesterday.
 
 Yesterday was the rainiest of all the | rainy days of the season, so far. This rain | came down all day and nearly all lastnight, l and it was cold. The atmosphere was very | raw and penetrating, and the streets very | sloppy, and everybody caught a cold-that | is to say, everybody who didn't have a l cold when yesterday slushed and sloshed l in to deface the calendar of the dying year.
