thus answers:
An cp1n door. Yes. And a booted foot

He assumes that the sympathy of the
United States is with the Beers, that Great

sympathy. but almost the neutrality of the
United States, and that ds Great Briain's
reward for having thrown over Spain, her
ancient ally, and coming magnanimously

FIRE AT NEW DECATUR
Block on Second Avenue Considerably
Damaged

New Decatur, February 3.-(Special)-
AT O'Clock this morning fire broke out in
the attic of the north end of the Casa
Granda block in Second avenue.
This is one of the finest business blocks
in the city, and that portion of the block
whree the fire started is owned by E.. H.
Allison.
The store room in that portion of the
block which was burned was occupied by
A. F. Harris dry goods store, and the
second-story fiat was occupied by Mrs.
Wallace as a dwelling. All of the goods In
the building were saved, but were badly
damaged with water.
The store room next to A. F. Harris was
occupied by the B. Hoy Furniture COM
pany, and. their goods were somewhat
damaged.
The heroic work of the louisville and
Nashville Fire company saved the entire
block from burning, and thereby averted
a loss of many thousand dollars, there
We're in all six large stores in the building.
The south end of the block is quite bad
ly damaged, but can be repaired
Just what the loss will amount to cannot
be estimated at present. but it is thought
that the damage will be fully covered by
insurance.

date for governor. will speak here next

Some time ago Mr.. Josh Brown, proprie-
tor of the American hotel, was arrested
and fined $25 by the city for running his
hotel without license. He had offered cou-

his license but the city refused to accept
them. He has now enjoined the city from
arresting him any more until the supreme
court can pass the case.
If the supreme court decides in Mr.
Browns favor other demands will be made,
as there are several thousand dollars of the
coupons outstanding. and~there Is no tell

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HEALING.
ONE MILLION CURED CASES.
You Can Be Cured Whether You Believe
Ia Christian Science or Not,

over a million cures of diseases in every
form are now to the credit OF Christian
Science Healing. Most of these were cases
that the doctors had given up as "incur-
able" Many were chronic maladies that
had baffled their skill for years. All were
cured quickly; some were cured instantly
The evidence on these facts is simply indis-
putal5le and the curing still goes on. There
can be no mistake or miSSta tement about
It, The healers and their work are in the
public view. AS C. S. healer my many
marvellous cures have startled the world.
During the past IL years have healed
diseases of almost every known kind and
in every stage. of severity. They included
many surgical cases where operations were
otherwise threatened. L cured cases that
were far away from me, as well, as those
near, at hand. And tell you in like mani
ner that wherever you may dwell, and
whatever be your bodily ailnent, or wheth- 1
er one or many physicians have failed tot
give you relief, If you report the case to-
me and so desire, you shall be cured. This
is no vain or idle promise. My past success,
fully justifies 1T. You can be cured wheth-
err you believe in Christian Science or not.
You can be cured whether you live in this;
city or thousands of miles away from me.
In our Christian Science Healing distance
is of no account; disbelief Is not any hin
drance; disappointments of the past only
make stronger grounds for hope. All you
really need is the wish to be healed.

gard to this blessed truth called IA Mes

RUulXyaY GIRL Matinee

The management of O'Brien's opera house
announces a special matinee tomorrow for
"A Runaway Girl" 1t was found necessary
to give this matinee from the fact that
practically all the seats at O'Brien's opera
mouse had been sold by noon Friday. Man.
ager Douglass realized that unless some
thing was done hundreds who wished to see
this company would be unable to get seats.
If he could have done so he would have
had them remain another night. This was
impossible, as all arrangements had been
made for the company to play at Chatta-
nooga Tuesday night. Manager Douglass
decided that 1T would be a good idea to
have special Monday ma,tinee with this
company. After using the telegraph wires
he persuaded the company to give special
matinee on Monday. An innovation will be
made on this occasion. All seats will be
reserved just as at might, and prices will
be so cents, rs cents and ST.. The demand for
seats for this special matinee is already
very large.

A Runaway Girl

Incidents and episodes that are funny
and mirth-provoking scenes and situations
that are fairly bristling with humor in
that comieal absurdity, and climaxes con-
structed for laughing purposes, few
of the prime features which have been
consistently crowded into the book of "A
Runaway Girl" last seasons musical f1ovE
city, which will. be nitially presented by
the entire membership of the Augustin
Daily Musical company, numbering sixty
five people, at O'Brien's opera house to-
morrow night.
The scene of this sprightly musical COM
edy is said to be very picturesque, and the
story is pretty romance, and much con-
sideration is given to it's romantic side in
its evolution during the performance but
into, through and throughout, the libret-
fists have developed and amplfled on COM
edy tangents with the result that this ele-
ment largely predominates In the inter-
esting tale which unfolds and displays the
character, life and love experience of Win
nifred Grey a young and pretty "Runa-
way Girl who is the central figure in the
story. Most ceyerly constructed on the
lines of legitimate play-making. this COM
edy could easily have been articulated in
to a straight romantic. work, but withal
it possesses not only the aforesaid allot-
ment of fun, but reasonable, rational
story sensibly prepared, developed and con-
cluded, and the result is musical comedy.
This famous organization is headed by
James t. Powers, and includes such we'll
known people as Marie Celeste, Van Renn-
salaer Wheeler, Elsa Ryan, May Baker,
Josephine C. Fay, Jeanette fowler Maui
rice Abbey, Arthur Cunningham, Carolyn
Gordon, Charles Ruthven Smith, Horny
Stanley, Spottiswood Aiken, George Lesor,
Frank Regis, William Holly and Joseph
Caute.
One of the many features of this COM
pany is its large and well drilled chorus
of fifty singers, most of whom are said to
be remarkably pretty young girls. AS this

wounded men, including numbers from the
