Today is the day set for Mr. Gates to take
action regarding his connection with the
management of the American Steel and
Wire Company. The large probability is
that he will retire and If he does the
chances are even much larger that a bet
ter man will be chosen in his place whether
Mr. FTiek is the man or not It is said
that Mr.. Gates action will depend some
what on the decision of the criminal case
against him in New York If his case is
dismissed and the outlook is favorable he
will retire without further ado.
The directors will meet and adopt reso-
lutions expressing appreciation of the
labOrs Of Gates in developing the business
Of the company in so satisfactory manner
and in establishing it in so strong a fiuan-
cial position. No reference will be made
10 the recent episode in the affairs OF the
company and Gates will be patted on the
back and told what a great man he is
and how much the directors and stockhold-
ers are indebted to him for his untiring eff
forts in their behalf Then Gates will ex-
press his appreciation of such recognition
of his labors and will also regret that other
important business interests have pressed
so heavily upon him that he finds he is in
urgent need Of rest and recuperation. He
has therefore decided to go abroad for a
time and with regret he finds that private
business interests and the state OF his
health force him to tender his resignation
as an official of the American Steel and
Wire Company. The latter will be accept
ed and the meeting will end In a love
feast. And thus will end an episode from
which Wall Street will suffer for months
to come

TUSCALOOSA
Budget of News from the Beautiful City
 of Oaks

Tuscaloosa, October 26.-(Special) )-About 6:30 yesterday afternoon a party of promi- nent Mobile and Ohio Railroad officials arrived in the city on an inspection tour of the road. The party comprises the recently appointed general superin tendent c. s. Clarke; superintendent of the Mobile divis- ion, J. D. Clarke general agent al Mobile, Henry Fonde; Roadmaster F. J. Perry; As sistant Superintendent W. N. Jones of Montgomery, and the venerable and popu- lar former president of the Mobile and Ohio, Col. J. c. Clarke. The presence of the last named was due to an invitation by the officials to him to make a complimentary inspection tour of the road. The party left this morning for Montgomery.
 There will be several changes at this place as a result of the recent orders pro- mulgated by the head office as to changes to take place in the force of the road. Among those already made public are that of J. G. Minniece and W. N. Jones. MT. Jones has been the assistant superintend- ent, with headquarters at Montgomery, but that office has been abolished and MT. Jones will be trainmaster of the Montgom- cry division and will remove his family to this place. J. G. Minniece, who has been trainmaster, goes back to the position of chief dispatcher. These changes are made, not on account of any dereliction of duty on the part of the officials named, but as a result of the general pruning and reduc- ing of force that has been inaugurated by the Mobile and Ohio
 The alarm of fire was sounded here last n4s.t when a lamp in one of the rooms at the Washington Hotel exploded. The flames were extinguished before the fire company had time to get to the hotel.
 The literary societies have organized at the University of Alabama for the ensuing year The officers of the Erosophic Society are: M. W. Haray, president; w. J. Conniff, wee president E. W. Pettus, secretary and treasurer; M. H. Jordan, critic; C. D. Jones, sergeant-at-arms. The Phlomathic So- ciety elected the following: J. w. Fielder, Jr, president; s. H. Bailey, vice president; R. J. Raney, secretary and treasurer; w. R. Bogart, critic; w. H. Carothers, chap lain; B. E. Tipton, sergeant-at-arms. There will be a joint debate between these two societies some time before Christmas, and an interesting programme Is being prepared.
 The people of Tuscaloosa will have ample opportunity to hear the election news on the night of the 9th. The Postal and West ern Union Telegraph Companies will both give out returns, as purses are being gotten up for that purpose. The Elks will also receive returns at their lodge rooms.
 Col. w. W. Brandon was hurt week ago at Montgomery while acting as marshal of the day during the Wheeler-Hobson cele- brat ton at the street fair, and is still suf- fering great deal from his injured left foot The bones have not been Set yet, and his physician says that 1t will be possibly twelve months before Colonel Brandon can use the injured member It will be remem- bered that Colonel Brandon's horse fell on him during the parade near the Capitol grounds.

 Most of the stories published on the subject are imaginative. Mir. Kruger will land at Marsailes and 1 shall go to meet him. But it is not true that l have seen M.

Nothing has yet been definite ly decided upon to the details of MT. kruger's stay in Europe. But MT. Kruger is an old man and not accustomed to a cold climate, so it is likely that he will so- journ in the neighborhood ot Nice for the winter. 1 have no reason to believe there is any ground for the statement that MT. Kruger intends to visit President McKin- ley.n

BANK OFFICIALS
 MAKE STATEMENT
Detail Some of the Events Leading Up to AIvord'S
 Crime

New York, October 26.-In order to make clear certain alleged misstatements, Vice President Hine of the First National Bank detailed some of the events leading up to Alvord's crime. In the first place, MT Hine said Alvord worked steadily and without suspicion until the afternoon of the 18th. By the merest accident a clerk saw him make certain ensures in the clearinghouse sheet, and while he thought this unusual, said nothing about it to anybody until shortly after 4 o'clock. By that time AL word had gone, but 1t was expected that he would return, as he had some work to finish When Alvord failed to return, the clerk who had seen him make the erasures made casual mention Of the matter to As sistant Cashier Backus. The latter, with out suspecting that anything was wrong, looked over Alvord's balance sheet and soon found several discrepancies He was on the point of leaving matters for AL worlds adjustment, when he decided to make a further examination, and soon saw that many items had been deliberately fals- flied. By this time the suspicious of the assistant cashier had become very much aroused. The higher officials of the bank had gone for the day, but gathering number of clerks, MT. Backus went hur- riedly over the note teller's books, and Tn a few minutes had overwhelming proof of Alvords guilt
 MT. Hine did not say how Alvord learned that he was under suspicion, but he HliHSu llS ItpOil tIdt lilS IotS iSlieA lc- turned to the bank early in the evening, and seeing others at work on his books re- alized that he had been discovered.
 Alverd had not been under surveillance up to that time, although it has been said he was suspected as early as the 18th inst. The bank officials are convinced that he did not go to his home on the night of the 18th, and they are also convinced that he has not been there since the morning of that date.
 Alvord's crime came to light three days after the national bank examiners com pleted their examination. While the First National Bank officials admit that All worlds wrong doing is in no degree the re- suit of any laxity on the part of the ex- aminers, yet they seem somewhat annoyed at what they regard as msrepresentations on the part of those attached to the office of the Comptroller of the Currency at Washington.

REV ARD OF MERIT
A New Catarrh Cure Secures National
 Popularity in Less Than One Year

Throughout a great nation of eighty million 1t is great struggle to secure even recognition for a new article, to say nothing of achieving popular favor, and yet within one year Sturat's Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today 1t can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Canada
 To be sure large amount of advertising was necessary in the first instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public but every one familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article permanently successful. It must have in addition absolute, undeniable merit, and this the new catarrh cure cer- tainly possesses in a marked degree.
 Physicians, who formely depended upon inhalers, sprays and local washes or oint- ments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tablets be- cause, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, conven- tent form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum Guaacol, Eu- calyptol, and Sanguinaria.
 They contain no cocaine nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safe ty and benefit.
 Dr. J. J. Reitiger of Covington, Ky, says: I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall, with stoppage of the nose and irritation in the thfoat affecting my voice and often extending to the stom- ach, causing catarrh of the stomach. bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at my druggists, carried them in my pocket and used them faitsr fully. and the way in which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remark able. l had no catarrh last winter and spring and consider myself entirely srxe from any catarrhal trouble.
 Mrs Jerome Ellison of WI ling, w. Va, writes: I suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two chil- dren also suffered from catarrhal colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the winter My brother who was cured of catarrhal deaf ness by using Stuarts Catarrh Tablets urged me to try them So much that I did so and am truly thankful for what they have done for myself and my children. I always keep a box of the tablets in the house, and at the first apearance of a cold or sore throat we nip it in the bud and catarrh is no longer a household affiictiou with us
 Full size packages of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold for 50 cents at all drug gists.

An interesting programme had been pre- pared and was well carried out MT Wads- worth's address was highly entertaining from the beginning, and he held his audi ence spellbound for more than an hour lis- tening to the magic words of the speaker as he expounded on friendship in it's truest and noblest application His address has been pronounced the best that has ever been delivered here on Pythiansm.
 On Tuesday night at the Castle Hall he gave the lodge secret address. MT. Wads- worth left for Birmingham Wednesday morning.
