Death of J. P. Hull.

MT. J. P. Hull, well-known painter and newspaper subscription agent of Selma, died at his home in Riverview at T o'clock last night. He has been com plaining for several years past of being in bad health, but no one dreamed that he was near the end of his career. He came home from Greensboro few weeks ago and has been complaining more than usual since his &return, but was able to be up and about. Something seemed to be the matter with his head, and he staggered when he walked. It was thought that he was only suffering with vertigo. however, and that he would soon be himself again.
 Yesterday Mrs. Hull came down town to make some purchases for Christmas. When she returned home late in the af- ternoon she found MT. Hull lying across the bed in an unconscious condition. She quickly gave the alarm and medical at tendance was summoned, but the trained eye of the doctors told them at once that he was beyond the help of human hands They decided at once that he was suffering from apoplexy and that they could do no good.
 When not engaged in his avocation of painter, Mir. Hull solicited and collected for The Weekly Mirror of this city, and was well known throughout the county. He was a man of many generous im- pulses and there will be sincere regret among all who knew him at the news of his death. .a. .e

TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY.
The Judson Institute Will Soon Be
 64 Years Old.

Marion. Dec, N-(Special )--Dr. R. G. Patrick, president of the Judson lnst- tute, is arranging program for the celebration of the 6ith anniversary of this old and popular school January [. Besides several able and representative ministers the Governor of Alabama and the Governor of Louisiana have been in vited to take part in the exercises. The latter Governor Is a patron and strong friend of the school, having been reared here.
 The Alumnae of recent meeting is sued the following letter:
 'The friends of the Judson, and par ticularly the Alumnia will be glad. we feel sure, to know that a plan has been adopted by which the proposed Alumnea building will be erected during the pres ent school year. As those interested know there have been plans for two buildings. One was to be erected by the Alumnae and to provide a home for the department of physical culture, science and art. This is to be called "Alumnae HalI" The other building was planned to contain ari auditorium and the entire music department. Both buildings are much needed, and yet, it seems impos- sible to secure enough of money for both at this time The Alumnae has cash in hand and good pledges for about $2,OOO. The fund in command for the other building is about $7,OOO Upon due con sideration of those having the matter in charge, it has been deemed best that both funds be put into one, and one Of the much needed buildings erected at once At meeting of the Alumnae De- cember IT, pr. Patrick proposed to turn over all the funds raised for the audi torium to the Alumnae if they in turn would erect that building instead of the one planned The auditorium seems to be the most needed, and the Alumnae en- Enthusiastically accepted Dr. Patricks of fer. Material will be put upon the grounds at once and the corner stone of the "Alumnae Auditorium" will be laid Jan nary 7th, the 9th anniversary of the inr stitution.

DIED OF SCARLET FEVER
LITTLE SON OF REV. "A. A. LIT
 TILE sUCcUMBs.
For Some Time the Disease Has Been Prevalent in Selma and Many Are Now Afflicted
 With It.
Advertiser Bureau,

Selma, Dec 24.
 For many months past scarlet fever has prevailed in Seli=a, but it has been of a very mild form. There have been hum dr eds of cases and in many instances the children that had the fever scarcely took to their beds. But Selma was treated to a rude awakening from this feeling of security from the disease when the announcement was made this morning that Scott. the little 5-year-old son of Rev. A. A. Little, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, had died of the disease at the manse at o'clock this morning. A...
 The little fellow was taken down with the disease about week ago and has been very i'll, but no one supposed that he was in a dangerous condition. The announcement on the streets, therefore, at an early hour this morning that the child had died was terrible shock to the community.
 The little child, the son of the beloved pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, came to Selma with his parents few months ago, but by his lovely disposition and attractive manners, had attracted not only the attention but the aftecuon of every one who had come in contract with him. He was beautiful child ana his. lustrous eyes and golden ringiets would attract attention in any assem- blaze of children.
 Tomorrow will be a sad Christmas in- | deed to Rev. and Mrs. Little. They came to Selma recently from their home in | North Carolina to make this their future home MT, Little and his entire family have won their way from the very first I into the affections not only Of the mem- bers of his congregation, but of the en- | tire people. MT. Little, by his earnest ness. his piety and his great zeal, has attracted the attention of all. and his congregations have grown from the very first sermon that he preached.
 Another sad feature of the affair Ii that Mrs Little, the mother of the deat child, and one of her little daughters are confined to their beds with scarle fever, and the prayers of hundreds ar going up that their lives may be spared.

nden Wants the Still.

A bill was filed in the City Court here today by k. J. Oden by which he seeks to gain possession of the plant of the Alabama Distilling Company, located near East Lake, few miles from Birm- ingham. The allegations are novel He alleges that the respondent, J: l.. LOCK wood. became indebted to him to the extent of several thousands of dollars and that an agreement was made by which the respondent was to give to Oden the still in settlement of obliga- tionc. He asserts that land was occu- pied against certain force which he (Oden) assisted in defending to his per sonal detriment, receiving wounds in the face and almost losing an eye. The claim of Lockwood was declared Vald for the land. He asserts that Lockwood had the land placed in his own name when it should have been in the. name of the complainant. He now seeks the

 J. Oden Seeks Possess

Birmingham, Dec. A.-(Special. )-Bir-
 mingham's Board of Aldermen has adopted new license schedule for the year 1902, and in making up the sched- ule it appears that not only did the city fathers look for more revenue but a moral side of the business was looked to. The licenses for dealers in cotton futures was raised to $750 and an effort was made to raise it to $1,000. Labor agents in this district will be charged $1OJ per annum instead of 25 as now. Detective agencies will have to pay Sl0O per annum per man and then get per mission to operate from the Mayor, Chairman of the Police and Sanitation and Chairman of the Judiciary Commit tees. Fruit stands on the sidewalks will be required to pay $50 ~er annum. Rail- roads have been advanced from $500 to $7O0 per annum. The only reduction made was in organ grinders on the s Der week.

Kindness Remembered.

Sometimes a kindness is done fellow being without any expectation Of a re- ward. It is simply "bread cast upon the waters that may return after many days" Such a case as this occurred In Selma a few weeks ago and yesterday one of the officials who had shown a kindness, received a remembrance from the recipient of that deed, which goes to show that there is such thing as appreciating favor. It is a pretty little story and reflects credit on the big-heart- edness and generous impulses of Sel- mas chief of police, Mir E. T. Walters.
 A few weeks ago there landed in Sel- ma a well dressed stranger of gentle manly appearance. His conversation was that of a gentleman, his bearing one who was in the upper walks of life, but like many men of human parents born, he was under the influence of alcohol. He may not have been in the habit of get ting full, it may have been his first spree. but at any rate he was full, and. while he did not act boisterously or do any thing ungentlemanly, his condition on the streets was such that the police had to take cognizance of 1t, and he was ar rested and carried to the guard house.
 Chief Walters was sent for and as soon as his eyes fell upon the man he knew that he was no ordinary street drunkard and he told Turnkey Ahern not to lock him up, but to keep him In the Chiefs office until he got sober and then send for him. Pat Ahern, with the generous impulses of an Irishman who had known what it was to drop by the wayside in his younger days, took charge of the man and waited on him as if he were a lord, and in a few hours the drunken man came around all right and was most grateful for the kindly manner in which he had been treated by Chief Walters and Turnkey Ahern.
 He settled his score with the law and went on his way to his home in Rusten, La., and the two officers who had be- frlended him did not think any more of the occurrence. But not so with the re- cipient of their kindness. Yesterday MT. Ahern received a letter from the man and enclosed was a handsome set of cuff buttons and studs, worth at least $2O, which he generously presented to the Turnkey for the little act of kindness in not putting him down in the prison with the common felons to sleep his little spree off. The man stated in his letter that in a few more days he would send a remembrance to Chief Walters.
