Band of Negro Burglars Are Caught
 and Fined.

Gadsden, May Especial 1.-The band of negro burglars that has been operating in Gadsden is now nearly all in the hands of the law. The band was operated by white man, possibly two or three. John Moragne, porter for the Southern depot; Andy Douth- ard, porter for Dan c. Turrentine' s wholesale house, and Shag Blount driver for s. w. Riddle & Co.,, whole sale grocers, did the stealing. Wylie bates was shipping clerk, shipping goods in a large zinc trunk to his brother, Howard Bates, alias Bill Jones, at Bessemer, by express, also to some white men at Anniston. Bates was arrested at Bessemer and some $200 worth of goods recovered and sev. eral letters from Wylie Bates, stating that business was good in Gadsden and he could furnish him (Howard Bates) with all the goods he needed. Some fourteen negroes have been ar rested and convicted and heavily fined in the Mayors court and then the State takes them.
 Two more rural delivery routes have been put on in Etowah County to take effect June 1. Charles D. Adams is carrier for Hokes Bluff route, and will serve $50 people, John H. Strepling is the carrier for Coats Bend route, and will serve 800 people. The Hokes Bluff route kills one postoffice, that of Ewing.
 The Etowah Rifles held an enthusi- astic meeting last night and received six new members. Capt. Joe Daniel was over from Anniston, where he is now located. He will resign as cap tain of the Gadsden company, having been offered the captaincy of the An niston company.
 Will Dorsey and Joe Cordial, two negro barbers, engaged in fight at the postoffice Tuesday afternoon It is said that Cordial made some slight ing remark about the wife of Dorsey, hence the troubie. Cordial was badly bruised up, while Dorsey was not hurt.
 Spoon Motlow, one of the leading saloon men of Gadsoen, has been elect ed president of the Farms Bank of Lynchburg, Tenn, in which he is big stockholder.
 The Etowah Male and Female Insti- ute at Hokes Bluff has just closed a most successful term. Prof J. R. Alex ander was reelected principal, and Miss Lillian Stickle, assistant. Prof. I. w. Hill, principal of the Gadsden free school, delivered the literary ad- dress.

 Hoarse Roar of Voices.
 When he had concluded the President appeared upon the balcony to show him self to the waiting thousands outside The cadets below presented arms and the square and the buildings surrounding it fiuttered with handkerchiefs and flags, while the air was torn by the hoarse rear of the shouts of the multitude The President made an impressive figure as he stood there with we'll poised head, fine face and deep set eyes, waiting for the cheering to subside. He acknowledged the demonstration with a bow, right and left and spoke as follows.
 My Fellow Citizens:-I have now the great honor of standing on these historic grounds to receive the greetings or my countrymen and to recall facts that hap pened here nearly a hundred years ago a greater scene never was enacted, that dedicated larger area than the original thirteen States to liberty and union for ever" (Applause.)
 The party then returned to the hotel for luncheon and in the afternoon embarked on a Mississippi River steamboat for trip along the river front from Audubon Park to the historic battlefield of Chal- mette, where the monument- erected m memory of the defeat of Rockingham by General Jackson dominates the view from the river A little further up and on the Algiers side of the stream the presiden- tial party had good view of the prepa- rations now being made for the recep- ton of the new floating dry dock now in course of construction for the govern ment at Sparrow's Point
 The ladies of the party had remained quietly at the hotel during the ceremo- nies of the morning, only few of them taking a very quiet ride around the city, but they participated in the river trip and enjoyed it.

Located the Noise,

A little 4-year-old was taken on
a visit to grandmamma in the country.
There for the first time he had n view
of a cow. He would stand and look on
while the man MIXED and ask all man
ner Of questions. In this way he learn
ed that the long crooked branches on
the cows head were horns. Now, the
little fellow knew of only one kind of
horn, and a few days after obtaining
this information, hearing strange kind
of believing noise in the yard, he ran
out to ascertain its cause In a few
minutes he returned with wonder and
delight depicted on his countenance, ex-
claiming: Mamma, mammal oh, do

Allowed Plenty of Time.

Speaking of the late William TTavers
leads me to remark that. so far as I
am personally aware. only one of the
classic suffering stories about him is
actually true. 1 had the honor and
happiness to reside at Newport for n
year or so once. and at the time Mr..
Travers was II summer resident there.
He certainly suffered a good deal, but
he did not go around habitually dis
charging staccatO witticismS at the
world. as you might suppose he did
from all the stories you hear. But the
one story that 1 know about is this
one:
Travers was at a garden party one
afternoon when a young lady said TO
him, What time is it, please, Mr..
Traverse"
Travers took out his watch, wabbled
his mouth awhile, blinked and finally
said, eth be s-s-s-s-siX o'c-c-c-c-clocl

SUNNY Rooms.

1t is said to be true that in all hoSpi-
tails those rooms facing the sun have
fewer deaths, other things being equal,
than those which are on the shady side
OF the house. Likewise statistics, where
they have been kept, prove that the av-
erage time for n recovery is much less
in Il sunny room than in Il shady one.
From these facts and from the fact
that the tendency toward illness has
proved greater on the shady side of
buildings. like prisons and asylums. it
follows that light is second only in i'm
portance to fresh air. A dark room is
nearly but not quite so bad as a close
room. In the case of sickness the sick
room should be the sunniest one the
house affords.
