GOLD IN THE TREASURY.
Gross Amount Now On Hand Is $480,
 709005-A Record Breaker.

Washington, January 6-"The gross gold In the treasury today" said Ellis H. Rob- erts, United States Treasurer, is $4S0, ,709- 0O5, breaking all records. At the end of March, 1889, the treasury held sS2S. S.2s3,9 ,901, which was the largest sum accumulated during any administration in recent years until within the last two or three years. Our immense gold holdings are due, of course. to the great prosperity of the country to the increased production of gold in all directions and in large part to the fact that the United States is now the creditor nation of the world. MT. Roberts thought that for the present there would continue to be an increase in the treasury holdings of gold, but it might be reduced somewhat should the reduction of the war revenue taxes be so heavy as to run the expenditures close to the receipts.

Teachers of Autauga County Favor Uni
 form System of Text Books.

Prattville. January 6.-(Special.)- .)-The teachers of Autauga County have just closed one of the most profitable county in- stitutes ever held in the county. A large majority of the teachers of tine county were present and participated in the exercises of the institute The teachers spent two days in their work and closed the programme last night with a sociabie at the home of Mrs. Mary Mims. Prof. w. W. Hinton. county superintendent of education, is an efficient man in the place, and there is no reason for believing that the children of the county will suffer for any advantages for wheich there has been any law ito pro- vide.
 These teachers were wide-awale on the public questions before the Alabama Gem eral Assembly as was made known by their act in advocating the law now before the Legislature to adopt an uniform series of textbooks for the children of the State After quite thorough discussion of the question by Prof. A. w. Holstun and oth- CTS, the institute adopted resolutions rec ommendiag the passage of a law for county uniformity of textbooks for the entire State.

MAXIMUM PRICE.
Coal Miners Will Probably Get Advance
 In Wages.

It is more than likely that there will be an advance of two and half cents ton in the price paid for mining coal in the Birmingham district, beginning January 1. The price for December was 521A cents. but the advance in the price of iron in Decem- Der brought the average up to $11. which, it is believed, will entitle the miners to the maximum limit, 55 cents per ton. The miners committee inspect the iron sales books of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company on the first of each month, aud df they find that the average selling price of iron is s11 for all grades they will then receive the maximum for digging coal

DUMMERSToN.

Fred Wilder's house narrowly
escaped burning on Tuesday evening
while he and his family were attend
ing the Christmas exercises in the
church. He was notified by someone
who passed the house on the way to
the church that light was seen in the
attic and sparks were escaping from
the chimney. He hurried home Just in
season to save his dwelling. A par
tition was set on fire from the effects
of an overheated stovepipe, but a
lively fight with the burning element
prevented the destruction of his home.
A better or more elaborate prepare
ton for celebrating Christmas in Dunn
merston has not been made for several
years than was made on this Christ
mas season: and a larger audience is
seldom seen in the Congregational
church than the one which witnessed
the exercises on Tuesday evening.
The preliminary and rhetorical exer-
cises ended about s o'clock, and then,
as if by magic, two rows of evergreen
trees meeting at an angle in the front
of the stage swung open and revealed
hundreds of presents for the children
and others more advanced in years

place and convinced the children that
the chimney which he descended was
the channel of generous descent. AT
ter a brief explanation to the children
about his donation of Christmas pres
ents and that he must hurry ON to
other places of like gatherings, he
dashed down the aisle and disappear
ed for a season. Not only were the
children honored by their friends on
this festive occasion, but the church
and society received a valuable dona-
ton in the form of three stained-glass
windows for the front of the church
building, that were framed in position
on the oath inst. and announced dur
ing the early part of the evening exer-
cises, as a present from two members
of the society who were loudly APP
plauded for their generosity. Among
the numerous presents received by
the pastor, Rev Mr.. Jackson, was
very nice chair for his study.

"Take care of yoUrue p say our friends.
"I'Il try to-" we answer9.Awe do take little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
aud mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
intiammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hoar you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau.
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.
