ALP DORSEY SHOOTS AT JASPER BRYANT Burnt Him But Did Not Draw
 Any Blood BRYANPS TOBACCO CHEWING Was Not lnterferred With by Dorsey's BuIlets-Dorsey Fees Up First Alley Pursued by Former
 Dog Catcher.
BRYANT'S TOBACCO CHEWING

At S:30 last night pedestrians Twen- tieth street, between First and Second ave- nues, were startled by five pistol shots fired in rapid succession, then flying figure darted across the street and disappeared up First alley, hotly pursued by another figure.
 The first figure was Ali Dorsey colored, who works at the Pennsylvania hat store, and the second one was that of Policeman John Tomlin, formerly the dog-catcher. Dorsey not belonging to the canine tribe, succeeded in making good his escape.
 The trouble began in Jackson's tailor shop over an argument as to how the word one" was spelt. Dorsey, whose ideas of orthog- raphy were somewhat muddled by drink, insisted that one was spelt w-o-n. Jasper Bryant, who was standing around quietly chewing tobacco, said that one was spelt o-n-e. Dorsey then drew a dollar from his pocket and offered to bet Bryant that his way of spelling one was the one and only correct one. Bryant took the bet, but while he was fumbling around in his pockets hunting for a dollar Dorsey dropped his dollar the floor Pick that up," he said to Bryant. "I didn't put 1t down and I dii SWlIS ter DICK IL up, dHSWeIeu Dry ant. Dorsey thereupon drew revolver and began to shoot. He fired five shots into different parts of the room. Seven people were in the room but none were hurt. One of the bullets grazed Bryants arm, or as Bryant expressed it, "it burnt him." Hav- ing emptied his revolver Dorsey dashed downstairs and out into the street. Peo- pie seeing a man running with a revolver in his hand gave him the right of way. Officer John Tomlin who had been attracted to the spot by the shooting started in pur- suit, but Dorsey was the best "sprinter" and disappeared in the darkness of First alley.
 When Bryant was seen by an Age-Herald reporter ten minutes after he appeared cool and unconcerned and was still qui- etly chewing the same quid of tobacco.

MRS. W. A, PORTER
 DIED YESTERDAY
Gifted and Lovely Young Wo- man Passes Away After
 a Brief Illness

Mrs. Porter, the young and gifted wife of Cashier William A. Porter, of the Alabama National Bank, died at the family residence, 90S South Twenty-first street, at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon after an illness of but few days her malady being gastritis.
 Mrs. Porter was the elder daughter of the late banker, MT. Andrew T. Jones, whose death occurred last year, and she was mar ried several years ago when she was one of the youngest, loveiest and most widely popular young women of Birmingham so- ciety.
 There are the best reasons for saying that she was one of those good -hearted, gener- ous and charitable women who did good by stealth and never hoped to find it fame. The other day, when it became known that she was believed to be fatally ill., one who knew her well, who had often been her guest informally, and was in position to know something of her charities, said:
 Mrs. Porter is one of the most charitable women I ever knew, one of the most gen. erous givers Her charities run into large sum every month, and she is one of those who never grow weary in well doing. The poor and the afflicted bless her day by day, for she never suffers herself to forget them. Her sense of human kindness is developed to an extraordinary degree"
 The home of the Porters in Twenty-frst street, though not large as modern houses go, is described as dream of luxury, a triumph of exquisite good taste, and there its fair mistress dispensed a gracious hos pitality and yet more gracious charity.
 Owing to MT. Porter's family connec- tions the death of Mrs. Porter affects wide relations of Birmingham society.
 Mrs. Porters sister, Mrs. Robertson, of New York, who was Miss Elise Jones, is expected to arrive in Birmingham this morning.
 The funeral will occur this afternoon at 3 o'clock from St. Mary's Church, on the Highlands Interment at Oak Hill Ceme- tery,
 The following gentlemen will act as pall- bearers: Gen. k. w. Rucker T. O. Smith, w. W. Crawford Robert Terrell, F. F. El- lis, Warner Shook w. V. M. Robertson, W. P, Ward,

Some Advice Regarding Ventilation,
Disinfection mud FURNISH
inps.

In caring for any contagious disease.
al home there are certain precautions
to be observed by the nurse for he r own
safety as well as the spread of the dis
ease. Free ventilation is one of the
most important items. The better the
ventilation the less the chance of con-
tagion by diluting the air. 10 insure
this take Il board about foot wide and
the length of the window and slim it
under the window opened to admit II.
This provides constant current of
fresh air through the middle opening
between the two sdshps and without
hanger of drnughts. Then, by opening
the window from the top short dis
tance. several times un hour. the room
IS kept thoroughly aired. Prolonged
contact with the patient should be
avoiGed and no food or fruit that has
been in the sick room should be eaten
by any but the patient. The person
filing the office Of nurse should never
eat without previous and thorough
washing of the face and hands. Ordi-
nary soap and water cleanliness is not
enough. This must be supplemented
by some disinfecting preparation, pref
erably a solution of one to 1000 corro-
sive sublimate. For the prevention of
contagion to Others strict quarantine
should be established. An upper room
should be used if possible, and the
furniture should be as severely simple
as is consistent with the comfort of the
patient. If there is prospect of long
illness. Two small cots will prove q
great convenience. Ry placing them
close together it is easy to move the
patient from one to another when
changing the bedding and also permits
each TO he thoroughly aired each day.
Preferably the floor should be bare.
with two or three light rugs that can
be cleansed when the quarantine is re-
moved. All draperies of wooden should
be dispensed with, likewise pictures,
books or any upholstered furniture or
bric-a-brac that will not stand disin-
fecting. In severe cases an excellent
precaution for the safety of the rest
of the house is to hang a shee portiere-
wise between the door of the sick room,
and frequently saturate it with di-
Iuted carbolic acid. so that whenever
1t is necessary 10 open the door. the air
passing out of the room is purified be-
fore reaching the halls. The nurse
should also be provided with several
loose cotton gowns to wear in the sick
room. changing them if permitted to go
into other parts of the house. says a
health nutbnritV
Nothing must 90 ont of the sick room
until .disinfected The dishes used
must he thoroughly scalded before
sending the tray out of the room. At
the end of the disease the room and its
contents, including both nurse and pa
tient, must be thoroughly disinfected.

ODD BITS OF FASHION.
Tasty Trihes That Go to Make Up tn e
Attractive Costumes of the
Season.

There are varied opinions about this
new revival of the fashion of dressing
the hair low on the neck Their tone
depends very much on whether or not
the mode is becoming to the woman
who is speaking. If she is young, with
fresh. oval face and a small, shapely
head, she glories in the new coffure
and adds piquant charm by putting a
rose just back of her left ear But if she
has lost the bloom of youth she expert
ments with it in the seclusion of her
own room, and decides that it is not
nearly so smart as the old way of perch
ing the hair high on the crown of the
head, says the New York Sun.
Another point against the low Golf
fure is its untidy appearance, unless
great care is shown in its construction
and even then it very soon has a dis
heveled look, as it must be arranged
loosely to have any style.
For full evening dress it has decided
advantages, however, provided, of
course, that it is becoming, as it sort Of
dresses the shoulders; but with high
necked gowns nothing could be more
undesirable. Women with long hair
dress it in puffs or "A low, soft coil while
for shorter tresses there is the simple
style of turning it up once and tying it
with bow of ribbon. Part the hair al
one side in front and give it that
futIed-ont, soft appearance in the CEN
ter of the brow.
French camelshair serge is one of the
popular materials for the spring tailor
made gown.
silk embroidery of the most elaborate
and elegant description is very strik-
ing feature of the latest evening gowns
and is considered much more chic than
the spangles which have been worn so
long. Nelvets and transparent fabrics
alike show this decoration, which in
many instances is hand work.
pretty finish is given to plain silk
shirt waist by having a belt and a stock
to match. These are effectively made
of Russian gold or silver ribbon com
blned with tatfeta ribbon.
The new crepe de chine sashes are
lovely in coloring, texture and gloss.
Some of them have an embroidered de-
sign in white around the edge, and all
of them have silk fringe on the ends.
They are pretty to drape around the
shoulders, with knot and ends at one
side.
