 the Quiet

The fine of 1 cent was yesterday im- posed by United States District Judge swayne on Marion Rogers of Blount County Rogers was charged with violat- ing the revenue laws by making whisky without the formality of government SUI pervision. He pleaded guilty and secured his liberty upon payment of 1 cent.
 The case Is one of the most unique in the history of the State. The oldest citi- zens of Birmingham can conjure up from their memories instances where fines of l cent and cost were imposed, but these in- stances are very rare. Instances of the character of the Rogers case seem al- most beyond recall, for he secured his discharge upon payment of the round cop per coin.
 The case was called yesterday in the United States District Court, and Rogers ambled up to the stand to plead guilty He also asked for light sentence. The statement was made by witnesses that the defendants mental faculties were failing. Upon the strength of this statement the judge imposed the light fine.
 After the trial of the last case yester- day Judge Swayne named J. U.F. Thomas as bailiff for the court.

PAPER HANGERS
 SIGN NEW SCALE
Strike Was Talked of for Few Hours, But Agreement
 Was Reached

A new scale of wages for the year 19Ol- 92 was signed by the members of the Paper Hangers Union and their employ CTS yesterday The scale calls for an in crease in wages of about per cent.
 For several hours strike was immi- nent, but it was avoided by concessions being made on both sides. The paper hangers were idle the entire day, out will return to work this morning.
 The time for arranging the schedule Is September. The question was taken up yesterday morning, and the union, num- bering about forty men, presented a scale to five of the largest dealers in Birming- ham, which called for an increase in wages amounting to about 121a per cent. The dealers refused to sign the contract, asking that concessions with respect to several provisions be made. These con- sessions were refused by the union.
 The dealers then decided to grant a slight increase over last years scale, with certain classes of work, but demanded concessions with respect to another class. Their ultimatum was presented to the union men. The latter held meeting and agreed to certain concessions with respect to handling the cheaper class of paper,
 committee was sent to the dealers with instructions to sign such ascale or declare that strike would be called Af- ter much discussion the new agreement giving an increase in wages of about g per cent was signed at 7:1 o'clock

HEALTHY SCHOOLMA'AM. Found Out How to Feed Herself.

Many school teachers, at the end of their years work, feel thoroughly ex- hausted and worn out, physically and mentally. The demand upon the nerves and brain of a teacher is unusual and un- les they are well fed and fed upon prop erly selected food, 1t Is natural that they should run down.
 A little woman teacher at Gobleville. Mich, who has been teaching regularly for a number of years, has always found herself thoroughly exhausted at the end of the session, until within the last year she has made use of Grape-Nuts Food with the result that she closed the year as robust healthy. strong. vigorous woman. having gained in weight from 20 pounds to 126 her nerves strong. face bright and cheery. and really wonder to all her friends who constantly com ment on her color and strength. She knows exactly to what the change Is at- tributed, for in the years past. living on ordinary food, she has almost broken down before the school year closed, whereas since using Grape-Nuts, this change has been brought about: evidence prima facie of the value of Grape-Nuts Food for rebuilding the brain and nerve centers.
 The name of the teacher can be given by the Postum Cereal Co.,. Ltd. Battle Creek. Mich.

NELSON DISMISSED
 AND SMITH REBUKED
Cases Growing Out of Labor Trouble Heard by Judge
 Feagin

The cases against the men arrested in corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street were heard by Judge Feagin in the Inferior Criminal Court yesterday morning. W. J. Nelson, who was att lacked because he persisted in remain ing on car manned by a non-union motorman, was discharged, Judge Fea- gin declaring that his every act was justifiable. D. s. Smith, one of the mem bers of the crowd causing the trouble, was fined s and costs.
 Smith was severely rebuked by the judge, who quoted from section 5511 of the State Code, the caption of which is Peaceful work or lawful industry"
 Mir. Nelson afterwards made the follow ing statement about the affair:
 "I was on a car going to the Fair Grounds. One of the union men came up and told me to get off. replied that I had business to attend to and didn't care if 1t was a 'scab car.'
 'Another man then came in and said: That's all right; I'll make him get off, ,
 q kicked this man in the face as a reply.
 Then another man in the crowd used very insulting epithets. applied to any man who would ride on 'scab car.'
 T got off to attend to him and the crowd closed in on me and stopped my progress. At this time officers grabbed me and pushed me out of the crowd. was then taken ito the city jail and put under bond. This morning when my case was called in the Inferior Criminal Court I was discharged, the judge asserting that I was justified In everything I did. D

gas for lighting and manufacturing pur- poses.
 It has long been held that enough gas is wanted at the First avenue coke ovens of the sloss-Sheffield Company to light all the valley. and to supply many man. ufacturing plants.
 The United Coke and Gas Company has plants at several points. At Everett, a suburb of Boston. they have a plant which sells five million feet of gas a day at low price. The company also has at AL bany, N Y. at Buffalo, at Niagara where the electric light comes from the falls-and at other great centers of pop ulation and commercial activity.
 The company Is now building an enor- nous plant In Camden, New Jersey, op- posite Philadelphia, and 1t promises to furnish gas to the third city of the na- tion at almost ridiculously low prices!
 The matter of great interest to Birming- ham Is this:
 It seems practically certain that the United Coke and Gas Company will build here a plant from which shall come the cheapest possible coke, together with the cheapest possible gas for Illuminating and manufacturing purposes.
 It is believed that the Messrs. Howell and Wells have determined upon site for the Birmingham plant, but they will not announce the selection.
