In the race between the Monsoon
and the Lucille, In which considerable
interest was taken, the Monsoon was
an easy winner, the Lucille dropping
out after railing over about a mile of
the course.
The race between the smaller yachts
proved to be the most interesting event
of the day. With several of them en-.
tered, it was really pretty sight to see
the white winged flyers battling for
supremacy, A strong wind was blows
ing when the boats started, but sradu-
ally it died cut, aud it took the little
crafts several hours to sail over the
course. The Carolina, owned by Mayor
Emanuel, was the first to oross the line

The trip back was rather rough and a
heavy rain came up, and it might be
mentioned that although IL was raining
when the boats reached the city, not q
carriage of any kind was at the wharf
and those who failed to have umbrellas,
we're compelled TO make the trip to
their homes in the rain.
Altogether the day was a very enjoy
able one. and everybody reports q
pleasant time.

THE INDICTMENT
 ADJUDGED FAULTY
Case of Eli Collins in Crimina Court-A Game of Base
 Ball Coming

On demurrer by Attorney B. M Allen. the indictment for manslaughter against Eli J. Collins, the Talladega County negro was quashed in the Criminal Court yester- day.
 Collins is charged with having brough an infant into Jefferson County and b, abandoning 1t, caused its death. The de fense demurred to the indictment on the grounds that 1t did not state the name of the infant nor .that the same was un- known to the grand jury" The court held that the indictment was faulty, but the solicitor asked that tue defendant be remanded to jail until another one could be found or the quashed indictment be amended. The request was granted.
 In the second division of the City Court the case of J. S. Fuller against Rogers Newbold is on trial. The jury in the case of Lawson Smith against the Birmingham Southern Railroad had not returned a ver- dict at late hour this morning.

PATCHES. Why Brown Ones Come on Faces.

When a woman can get rid of brown patches on her face by changing her diet 1t is worth while for other women who care for their complications to know something of the method.
 A lady in Michigan City, Ind. who does not want her name mentioned, says that coffee caused the brown patches on her face by first giving her stomach trouble. then putting her nerves out of order, and the result was shown in her complexion.
 She quit coffee and began using Pos tum Food Coffee and in less than month the stomach trouble disappeared and within two months her complexion cleared up and is now fine and rosy.
 She speaks of a MT. Knight and Cid con Hunt of Westfield, Ind, who have both been improved in health by leaving off coffee and taking in it's place Postum Food Coffee. also MT. and Mrs. Jesse Stanley, of the same place, who were in poor health and suffered from stomach trouble. They quit coffee and after using ,Postum short time the result was nat ural sleep, return of appetite and a gain in strength as fast as nature will re- build.
 She gives the names of a number of other persons who have been helped by leavinr off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee.
 It Is safe proposition that if any cof- fee user has stomach or nervous trouble, or bad complexion, he or she can get rid of the trouble by discontinuing cof- fee and taking Postum Food Coffee It is easy enough to prove the truth of this by making trial. Every first-class grocer sells Postum.

PEOPLE WILL ELECT THE
 SECOND WARD ALDERMAN
After Heated Debate in the City Council it Was Decided That the Board Should Not Elect Successor to Alder
 man Who Recently Resigned

A meeting of the Board of Aldermen at the City Hall last night was enlivened by rather exciting arguments, motions. counter motions and substitutes for the whole. during the discussion of the oues- ton of selecting successor to Alderman Camp of the Second ward, who recently resigned from the board.
 An attempt was made to have the alder men present last night elect the new member of their board, as is provided for by the Constitution and charter of the city, but this move proved to be unsuccessful. After considerable dis- cussion and the proposal of many diff ferent resolutions and motions, the alder by Alderman Jones, with a substitute by Alderman Moore, by which the citizens of the ward shall hold a primary under the executive committee to nominate 0 man for the board to elect.
 When the Board of Alderman was called to order Alderman Gray moved that the regular order of business be dispensed with and the election of the alderman to succeed MT. Camp be accomplished. This motion, when adopted was followed by a motion from Alderman Jones to make the ballot secret. Alderman Gray wanted an open ballot, and offered a resolution to that effect.
 Alderman Jones then offered resolu-

tion, as substitute for both resolutions, that the entire matter be referred to the people of the Second Ward. allowing them to elect the Alderman. A motion to table this by Alderman Gray was lost. In the discussion that followed. in reference to the question of legality. Alderman Jones announced that he would change his reso- iution so that the people might merely nominate a man whom the board would elect. Alderman Gray attempted to have this motion tabled, but was unsuccessful
 The modified resolution of Alderman Jones, allowing the Democratic voters of the Second Ward to settle the question, was then adopted. 1t was moved by Mir. Jones that the registration books be opened in the Second Ward and kept open for ten working days beginning next Mon day and that the election be held two weeks from that date, under the plans of the Democratic executive committee. AL derman Moore thought this would b4 a slap in the face of the committee, and he offered as a substitute that the executive committee hold the election according to the recommendations of Alderman Jones, and that the expense of the election be met in pro rata share by the candidates for the office.
 In this form the resolution of Alderman Jones was finally passed by the board without opposition.

ADJUSTMENT OF
 MINERS WAGES
Committee of Working Men Examine Books of the Two
 Companies

The monthly examination of the books of the Sloss-Sheffield Iron and Stee. Company and the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company by committee of miners representing the workingmen was accom- plished yesterday. This examination is held by agreement, and Is done in order that the scale of wages may be fixed each month.
 The result of the examination of the Tennessee Company salesbooks is that the scale of wages for its miners will remain the same for the month of June as it was for the month of May, the aver age price of iron for the month being more than S10 and less than $11 per ton.
 With the Sloss-Sheffield Company it was found that the average selling price for May was below s10. As a result the scale of wages for the coal miners will fall to 50 cents per ton, which is midway between the minimum and the maximum prices In April the scale of wages for the Sloss- Sheffield was 55 cents per ton, which is the maximum price for the miners in this district.
 The new monthly scale is effective from the first day of June for all work during the full month.

CHAIRMAN M'CLARY TALKS
 ABOUT NEW YORK CROOKS

J. H. McCary, chairman of the Board of Police Commissioners who has just re- turned from New York where he attended the meeting of the chiefs of police tells a very interesting story of his tour of the tough streets of Gotham. M
 'The most remarkable thing I discov- cred on my trip" said Mir. McCary. '1s the familiarity between the crooks of the city and the private detectives. These thugs and bunco men are well known to the officers, but of course they cannot ar rest them until the occasion presents it. self. AS an instance of this familiarity, when the chiefs arrived in New York private message was sent out to all the crooks in the city that the visitors must not be mo1ested in any way. The men who prey on others for their living readi- ly took up the spirit of hospitality and not a visitor was robbed or molested while in the city.
