THE DOCT0R LAUGHED But the VI oman Was Frightened

A physician of Columbus, Ga, rather poked fun at lady patient who insisteS | that she had heart disease.
 The trouble really was caused by Injs,rNs from the effects of coffee drinking, and the nerves were so affected that 1t gave her every indication of heart disease ThiS is true of thousands of people who are badly hurt by the caffeine of coffee, and 1t Is un- derstood that If continued long enough real organic heart disease will set in.
 The lady referred to above is Mrs. c. V. Irwin, 1010 B street, East Highland, Colum- down in health for number of years and suspected that coffee was hurting me, but could not get my consent to quit it.. My heart troubled me that I was very shorc of breath, and could do little or nothing that required eXertion. I had fearful nerv- ous headaches nearly every day. and was exceedingly nervous, with indigestion, and badly constipated. The doctor laughed at my idea of heart trouble, but knew that 1 was in a serious condition generally. Finally I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee. This was about four months ago, and the change has been wonderful. I feel like another person. My heart does not trouble me at all and the stomach and nerves are de- cidedly improved. My head does not give me the old trouble 1t did, while the bowels are regular without any purgatives or medicine of any kind.
 q can hardly express my qualification for the relief from suffering brought on by the use of regular coffee, and I cannot thank Postum enough

 Birmingham.

The announcement of Captain w. E. Wier as a candidate for chief of police appears in this issue of the Age-Herald For several months past Captain Weir has been urged to enter the race, but until the recent ac- tion of the City Democratic Executive Com mittee in ordering the names of candidates for chief placed on the ticket, he had not fully determined to do so.

 Captain Weir came to Birmingham when quiet young man and secured position on the police force. He served as patrol man for five years, and on-account of merit was elected to the night captaincy with out having solicited the honor. Since that time Captain Weir has worked at night for eight years, and has won for himself an enviable reputation as an offieerv-.-
 He has grown gray in the service, and his friends feel that he is entitled to pro- motion. and believe that he will receive plurality of the Democratic votes cast in the city Democratic primary.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE
 NOW IN PROGRESS
Splendid Chance to Secure the
 Rogers Locomotive Works
IS A MAMMOTH INDUSTRY
Proposition Made and Conditonafly Accepted Last Summer, and Has Been Renewed-Closing Down
 of Plant Is Significant.

Birmingham has splendid chance to se- sure the mammoth Rogers Locomotive Works of Paterson, N J., and it is under stood that negotiations are now in progress looking to the bringing of that plant to the ely.
 The Associated Press announced in q telegram from Paterson Friday night that the plant at Paterson would be closed down permanently yesterday. The New York pa pers stated that Jacob Rogers, the princi pal owner, has applied to the courts to orS der a dissolution of the company and q final winding up of it's business affairs.
 A deal was closed last summer by which the Rogers works were to be removed to Birmingham but when this became known the business men of Paterson raised a pro test and several big concerns agreed to buy the plant. When the time came for the payment of the money, few days ago, 1t was not forthcoming, and immediately thereafter MT Rogers took steps to have the company dissolved
 It is understood that the interests here that entered into the deal with the Rogers Company last summer for the removal of the plant to Birmingham have renewed their proposition, which was at that time accepted. As the proposition was agreed to then, it is believed that it will be ac cepted at this time.
 The Rogers Locomotive Works is one of the oldest plants of the kind in this coun- try and employs about 5000 men, nearly all of whom are skilled mechanics.
 The persons who have been conducting the negotiations with the Rogers people are reluctant to make any statements for publication, but prefer to await the final decision of the management of that com pany before giving out any details.

President Loubet,s DEGREES.

Paris, July 29.-President Loubet, on a
proposition from the minister of war, has
Just signed a series of DEGREES, reforming
and recognizing the superior council Of
war and certain departments of the war
Office. The first decree appoints four lieu
tenant commanders to the army corps,
namely: Generals De Saucier, Tanshot,
Ladron and Tisseyre, thus modifying a
former decree of General de Gallifet, ac-
cording to which all the members OF the
council of war, instead of residing in
Paris, are bound to be commanders OF the
amy corps and consequently are required
to reside at the headquarters OF their corps.
The second decree makes several changes
in the war office, including the appoint
ment of General Lejoinere as director OF
the infantry in place of General Millet,
who replaces General Tanshot as COM
mander of the division of infantry.
The third decree appoints General Flor
onton as military governor OF Paris, sue
ceeding General Brugiere, who, when APP
pointed on July as president OF the coun-
eli of war, expressed desire to devote his
entire time to his new duties.
The fourth decree replaces General Ne
girls, who, year ago, was relieved by
General de Galliet, having issued an inn
prudent order of the day.

A Formidable Correction:

The proper spelling Of Welsh names
is matter known only to experts and
it gives much trouble to English post
office officials, who are able in many
cases to make only guess, so to speak,
at the spelling of place names. Sir
Herbert Maxwell, In an article In an
English magazine, gives an amusing
example of this.
On March 2, 1888, the following tele-
gram was handed in for delivery at the
postoffice of Chepstow:
"Going to ACKNOWLEDGMENT
erhwllclydligogogoch. Shall be at home.
by 4:30."
The postmaster, thinking that there
was more than a fair penn'orth" of
consonants in the name, referred 1t to-
his surveyor, who wrote back:
"It is an attempt at the name of q
village in Anglesey, but is evidently not
written by Welshman; the spelling Is
incorrect, and but for the joke Of the
thing. the ordinary Observation-Disclosures
fairpwn-would have, been better. The
name, correctly written, give bellows

Nine Killed at Chang Chow.
General ChaGee to Command.

New York, Aug. 1.-The report from
London that the British and American
troops at Tientsin are preparing for an
advance within AZ hours aroused much in
terest here, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Times.
The announcement seems to have been
made just before the arrival of General
Chaffee at Iaku and gives rise to some
interesting theories concerning the effect
Of tlat commanders presence 1t Is gen
orally believed that if the London report
is correct the arrival of General Chaffee
at Tientsin will mean the instant cutting
loose of the British and American forces
from the other troops and their advance
under Chaffee's command. General Chat
fee has not gone to China to act as a
subordinate unless that should commend
itself to him as the best way of carrying
out his own purposes. He is expected to
carry out the policy of the United States
without regard to its acceptability to the
other powers. The United States has
already indicated its impatience of delay
and its desire for an immediate forward
movement.
