OUR NAVY.

1t was a poor plan to name any Of the
monitors after the states, as that tends to
confuse them with ttleships.-Buffalo
Express.
Perhaps nothing in connection with the
navy will be more important in the next
few years than to correct it's one sided
growth by bringing the supply of officers,
,men, docks, repair shops and auxiliary
vessels up to that of fighting ships.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
We are planning a splendid naval pro-
gramme, so far as the building of ships is
concerned, but what is the use of building
vessels If we have to lay them up at
League Island or Mare Island when built
for lack Of crews to man them and lack
Of officers to command them ?-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

Gram buyers, exporters and farmers
In all parts of the state are looking for
ward with much interest to the fate Of
the measure introduced in the legislature
abolishing the state grain commission
and the office OF state grain Inspector
While the two former are interested not
because the commission or the grain in
spector is anything to them in a finan-
cial way, they are of one opinion that
both are luxuries created for the placino
OF patronage and useless expense to
the producers in this state. Not only
this, do they say, but also that the fact
of there being state grain inspection
of grain here initiates against Wasbino-
ton terminals as regards the shipmant
of grain to these points. Grain buvers
in this section are compelled to grade
their grain when buying from the pro.
ducer as set down by the commission.
these grades, however, are of no other
value. The grades, as established by
the grain commission, do not hold in ex-
port or in any trade. Therefore it is

Cornelius L. Alvord, the defaulting
note teller of the First National Bank
of New York City, who embezzled $780,
900, was sentenced to only ID years
imprisonment. When we remember that
for stealing a horse the thief in many
states gets from five to ten years, it does
seem as if this bank thief received a yerv
light sentence, says the Oregonian. 1t
is not easy to explain this SEEMING lenity
OF the law to the people, who are dis
posed to ascribe it to Influence" of fam
lily and political friends. The truth is
that the infection of what seems a light
sentence in such case is due to the law
and to the discretion it allows the Judge.
In moral equity a man who robs bank
by enlightenment of a great sum of
money ought to suffer a more severe
punishment than horse thief, but law
makers and judges seem to think that il
Is more dangerous to society to let q
horsethief off with light sentence than
bank thief, for the reason, we suppose.
that the bank thief will not probably
be able to find a fresh opportunity to
rob bank, while a horsethief can al
ways resume his vocation. In the mat
ter of exemplary punishment, thirteen
years seems small for stealing nearly
100000.

Commercial Appeal.
Some politicians work so hard to Sc

When the constitution itself comes to

direct vote of the people, it should also
be amended so as to give the vice presi

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets lnhamed you have a rumbllng sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
lnfamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

Reversal {

Reversal of the Order of Courtshin
The late Philip D. Armour once gave
one OF his clerks who sought his counsel
the following unique but sage advice:
The young man who wants to marry
happily should pick out good woman
and marry one of her daughters-any
one will do"
Young men in search of wives do we'll

headed and unsentimental man,
Ii the mother is a trial before mar
rage the mother-in-law is sometimes a
much more serious trial after marriage,
hence the Importance of studying the
future mother-in-law with thoroughness
and selecting her with care. The mo-
ment young man finds he is growing
interested in daughter he should post
pone informing her of that interesting
TACT and devote his observations to the
mother. Mothers-in-law are hard to
cultivate, as rule, but young man of
tact need have no difficulty in pursuing
his Investigations while making himself
agreeable and perhaps indispensable to
her.
The rock upon which many matri.
monial alliances are wrecked is the
mother-in-law. Ii young man finds
good woman, matronly, gentle, kind,
with all the characteristics of really
good mother-in-law, the chances are ten
to one that the daughter will be good
woman also, and he can enter upon the

BUILDING MATERIAL.
Wood, Dickerson & Co.'s Facilities for
 Supplying the Trade.

The exhibit at the street fair which most interested the builders and all per- sons in need of lumber was that of Wood Dickerson & Co.,, whose covered yards with ample railroad trackage attracks at tention at the corner of Thirteenth street and Eighth avenue. It is the largest and best equipped lumber yard in Alabama the best equipped in fact in the entire South.
 This firm handles every variety of ma terial. Their exceptional facilities enable them to sell the best material for the least money. Their trade here Is combined with their enormous wholesale shipping business from various Southern sates through Northern and Eastern states, and this enables them to contract for mill outputs and buy big lots at bottom prices by paying spot cash. They handle more dressed lumber than any manufacturer in Alabama turns out.
 These are facts worth noting, for they tell their own story of business economy And Wood. Dickerson & Co.,. not only carry such large and varied stocks but they carry them in such fine condition The yard is simply a model in it's way.

 Two Organizations.

Fall River. Mass, May 1.-The delega- ton of Southern Textile Union officials who stopped over in this city yesterday en route to the convention of the Inter national Union of Textile Workers in Holyoke, Mass. departed for that city this afternoon. Before leaving Fall River G. B. McCracken, the dean of the delega- tion. spoke of the effect of the visi. of the delegates to this city. MT. McCracken stated that the condition of the situation here was ideal to his southern colleagues. He spoke of the troubles existing between his national organization and the Ameri- can Federation of Textile Operatives. and said:
 "The operatives in the South have al- ways wished to be afflliated with North ern work. With the operatives of New England affiliated with us we can do much towards bettering the condition of textile workers in the South and 1t Is our wish that such an organization be effect ed as soon as possible in the South. over sixty unions having been organized and conditions bettered."
 American Federation officials express the hope that as the result of the visit of Mir McCracken and his colleagues a feeling of harmony will bring the two national bodies together on a common ground.

One of the best and most popular of the exhibits at the Elks' Street Fair was thatsef the McMillan-Lee Company. This company had three booths, and has served free refreshments all during the week. They have given away during that time, in the item of tea, alone, about three hundred gallons.
 In one of the booths was an exhibit of Van Camps soup, pork and beans, of which article this firm is the sole agent In this territory. This department was in charge of Miss Ellen Payne. who has given her personal attention to the lunches of soup and pork and beans which the company has freely supplied to the hungry and tired visitors to the fair
 In the next booth was an exhibit of Alabama Brand Rolled Oats, Alabama Coffee and Snow Drop Corn.
 This company is probably the only one in the south which packs rolled oats. This Is done here in Birmingham, where all of the coffee shipped by the firm Is parched. The McNillan-Lee Company a1- 80 enjoys the distinction of being the only company which manufactures baking powder. This booth was gracefully presid- ed over by Mrs. Helen Walpole. All lunches at this booth. as well as the oth- CTS, were served free.
 In the tlslrd booth the company had an exhibit of Tetley's Tea This booth was in charge of Mrs. A. c. Heffie and was one of the most popular booths at the fair Hundreds of cups of iced tea were given away daily. and the popularity of the booth and the delicious flavor of the tea were evidenced by a continuous crowd of thirsty mortals waiting to be served.

VANDERBILT GOT HIS PENNY.
Millionaire Spends Severa, Minutes
 Hunting for a Lost Coln.

Alfred G. Vanderbilt, head of the house of that name, spent several minutes in the barroom of the Getty house at Yonkers N. r., diligently searching for a lost penny whlie on his trip on the coach Pioneer with party of friends last Friday. The story. which is cor roborated In detail by half-dozen reput- able witnesses, is to the effect that as soon as the oach drew up Vanderbilt, with two of his friends, dismounted and entered the cafe by the front door. Sew eral persons in the cafe edged up close to the distinguished customers, all of whom
 indulged in plain whisky. The two com panions of young Vanderbilt walked out of the barroom as soon as they had en- loved their drinks, leaving Vanderbilt to stand the treat
 Brushing back his heavy macintosh, the young man plunged his hand Into the right front pocket of his trousers and drew forth a handful of money. One of the coins dropped to the floor, and this further provoked the curiosity of the men who were attracted to the party. Hearing the falling coin. Vanderbilt turn ed about to look. Every one in the place was amazed when the young man pro- ceeded to plod about in search of the lost coin. The amazement increased when he brushed aside cuspidor that hid one corner of the room and when he actually moved the cuspidor from its accustomed place to find the coin, the surprise was undoubted.
 The concluding act of the unusual spec tacle of a multi-millionaire searching for a coin consisted of the lifeting of tall coaching hat with one hand and reaching down to the floor for the coin. When 1t was discovered that the coin was a one cent piece, and there was no mistaking it, those who saw its loss and recovery could hardly believe their eyes. But the young man cared not. He calmly returned the coin to his pocket, walked to his coach and, with crack of the whip, was off to Ardsley with a blast of the trumpet.
