THE bishops of the Methodist
church say in an appeal to the
churches: "The decline in our mem
bership is not an accident. 1t comes
from a sufficient cause. The cause
is the slipping cog in our experience
our lack of spiritual power. The gull
between capital and labor threatens
us both sides. On one side, mot
many mighty, not many noble, are
called Cn the other, strange forces
are alternating the poor. The labor
unions, organized most capacity, are
much influenced by men hostile to
the church. Their gatherings are
generally on the Sabbath, thus keep
ing the men out of our reach. We
seem in some places above our BUSH
ness"

General Joubert.

In the death of General Joubert the
Transvaal has lost probably its ablest
citizen. There has no military COM
mander arisen among the Beers who
is near his equal. In spite Of his
age, he has won new laurels in the
present war, and his death is as SER
ious matter for the Transvaal as the
loss of a battle.
General Joubert was born in Cape
Colony in 1884, fifth in line of descent
from q Huguenot refugee who left
France early in the eighteenth GEN.

spent in the territory now known as
the Transvaal or South African re.
public.
General Joubert had had much ex.
perience in the wars between the
Beers and the blacks OF South Africa,
and by his skill in these encounters
was able to put himself in leading
position in the war of independence in
1881. In that struggle he annihilated
the English force at Majuba Hill. He
has since been elected Commandant.
General of the republic term after
term, and iu 1898 was nearly chosen
President. The returns stood-Kru.

were many charges of fraud in the
ballot, and the returns were challenged
The Volksraad, however, decided the
contest in favor of Kruger, and Joubert
was reelected Commandsnt- General
In 1898, although he did not make
an active canvass for the Presidency
Joubert received 2,OO1 votes to 1915:

General Joubert is reported to have

behind him the reputation of a gen

ANOTHER DEGREE IN
 EAST & WEST CASE Rendered By Chancellor Kelley of Northeastern Division, 1T MAY MEAN SETTLEMENT Understood That Property Has Been Sold to Seaboard Air Line
 Which Practically Gives Them
 Entrance Into Birmingham
IT MAY MEAN SETTLEMENT I

It would appear that the litigation over the East & West Railroad of Alabama has at last been ended, and that the Kelley estate has come into the possession of this property Chancellor R. B. Kelley of the northeastern chancery division of Ala bama, by agreement of the parties. ren- dered decree yesterday which may finally dispose of the litigation over this between the several contending interests.
 It will be recalled that by the terms of a decree rendered by the supreme court some months ago the compliments Brownngs, and the administrator of Amos G. West, were allowed sixty days from the 10th of February, 1900, within which to claim the benefits of the decree. The Brownings de- clined to claim anything under the decree. w. c. Bum, as administrator of West, for himself filed a claim on behalf of the es- tate of West The defendants moved to strike out this claim of the administrator of West on the ground that the interests of the compliments were joint, and by the terms of the supreme courts decree the bill stood dismissed as to the Brownings, and that Vests administrator could not make a separate claim.
 This motion was argued before Chancel- Tor Kelley, sitting in this city yesterday, who rendered decree striking out the claim of the administrator of West and dsmissing the bill out of court.
 What further action, if any, the com plainantS vii take. is not known, although it is understood that an agreement has been reached by which the Kelley estate is given control of the property and that same has been sold to the Seaboard Air line, which will give that great system an en- trance into Birmingham.

UNNATURAL FLESH
Reduced By Leaving Of Coffee and Using
 Postum Food Coffee

'I have used coffee many years in fact, ever since l was child until a few months ago, when 1 became satisfied that it hurt me-caused the miserable drowsy feeling and the bloated condition of my body. I was very 1eshy all the time-unnaturaIly feshy.
 Since I left off drinking coffee and use Postum Food Coffee the effect has been wonderful I feel like different person. The bloating has all gone. l am very much thinner and more natural in shape, have a better appetite and do not feel sleepy and drowsy as before l shall never use any more regular coffee.
 When I first tried Postum I was not sat- isfed with it, but decided that the fault must be my own, for so many people used Postum and liked it that I knew there was some trouble in my preparation of it, so l examined the directions carefully and found that should boil it long enough to bring out the flavor and the food value. When I prepared it right it was elegant, and I am more than pleased with the de- licious beverage 1 have for breakfast ov- cry morning." Mrs. E. M. Pope, 115S 23d St., Detroit, Mich.

EVIDENCE AGAIN ST HIM
Negro Arrested With Chickens in His
 Possession

James Montgomery, alias Henry Saun- ders gentleman of color," was arrest ed yesterday evening in North Brming- ham for chicken stealing. Everything goes to show, too, that he is guilty, as he had five hens and a rooster stuffed in his clothes when the officer arrested him. In addition to the chickens, he had a large bunch of keys and a monkey wrench. The monkey wrench, so Ed Wallace says, and he is authority on those things was to be used in twisting locks off fowl houses that resisted the keys.
 Ed was present when the chicken man was brought in, and said that he wanted Judge Feagin to give him the full limit, he was imposing on his territory, and that such importers should be nipped in the bud, as he himself had his eye on the chickens, and was only waiting for an op portunity to make the raid.
