suitable for a growing work, it would
 be necessary to expend large amount
 of money and that several large contri- buttons must be secured. Strange to say, the first large pledge of forty thou
 sand dollars was made by person who was not a permanent resident of New Haven. The pledge was made November IS, 1899, and contained two conditions: First, that three twenty five thousand dollar pledges be made by January 20, 1900; second, that the total subscriptions aggregate one hun dred and seventy-five thousand dollars by June 1, 190O Every effort was made to meet these conditions and, while this large pledge was great incentive and enabled us to secure one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars by June l., we failed to meet the first condition of the pledge and tence lost forty thou sand dollars.
 During this canvass E. Hayes Trow- bridge made a pledge of ten thousand dollars with the condition that nine oth- CT pledges of ten thousand dollars or over be secured. Eight of these pledges Nhave already been secured.
 From June 1, 1900, until November 1, the time of the committee was taken up in perfecting plans and letting con- tracts Before the citizens advisory committee, together with the building committee it was voted that in view of the report of the building commit tee showing subscriptions and probable cost of the building, the building com- mittee be authorized to proceed with the building. i. The work was commenc- cd on the building October 20, 1900, and owing to the favorable condition of the weather rapid progress has been made
 It was understood from the beginning that no mortgage would be placed on the building, and hence the building committee has been making every effort to secure the balance of the money needed in order that the contractors may proceed with the work without in- terruption.
 A business mems committee was ap- pointed November 20, 1900, for the pur- pose of assisting the building commit tee.
 Early in March of this year Edwin Bancroft Foote of New York made a conditional pledge to the association which will mean much for the future development of the work, if the con-

KNEW THE WAY OUT.
Made a Study off His Food.

It is not always that the user of food understands about that food, but gen. tleman in Cincinnati writing about Grape Nuts expresses himself perfect ly. He says: "A business man devot- ing himself to hard mental labor, re- quires different food than a man doing muscular work. I became aware of a dull, heavy feeling in my head day by day which did an untold damage to my work. Verdict, intestinal indigestion; punishment, severe diet list, leaving out starchy foods. sugar and fat
 up to this time, with the most pre- else care in cooking. the ordinary breakfast food came to the table pas ty, starchy mass. Added to that was sugar and more ior less white bread, which gave an excess of starchy food that could not be digested. This indi- gested mass passed into the intestines, creating gas and all of the distressing symptoms both of body and brain.
 rI was put on Grape Nuts Food for the reason tbat it is made of selected parts of wheat and barley, thoroughly cooked at the factory, giving to the body the starchy part of the food (which is necessary), predigested. that is, turned into dextrose or grape sugar. This furnished the sweet needed, with out the use of cane sugar and gave me a starchy principle of food already passed into the second condition, exact ly in the same manner as healthy body d!gests it.
 After eating Grape Nuts for short time, I found a most remarkable inn provement in my health, and 1 also dis covered the reason why the claim made on the package is true, that one pound of Grape Nuts, which is perfectly ab- sorbed by the body, will afford more nutrition than ten pounds of meat wheat or bread, imperfsctly digested I can assure anyone that a week or ten days conscientious use of Grape Nuts will prove far more convincing testi- mony than any written words. I sub- scribe myself a grateful consumer. Please do not publish my name" Any one who will write to the Postum Ce- real Co.,, Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich, and enclose stamp, can be supplied with the name and address.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES CURED:

MT. John Vance, of Hartford City, Ind, says: My kidney trouble is much better. I have improved so much that everybody wants to know what medi- cine am using. I recommend Peruna to everybody and some have commenced to use it. The folks all say that if Dr. Hartman's medicine cures me it must be great"
 Afr. 4 Brake, Of PefrOlea, Ontario, Canada, writes: "FOur years ago ' had severe attack of Bright's Dis- ease, which brought ne so low the doctor said nothing more could be done for me. began 10 take Peruna and MaraHn, and in three months was we'll man, and have continued so eyer since"
 Atthe appearance of the first symptom of kidney trouble, Peruna should be taken. This remedy strikes at once the very root of the disease. It at once re- lieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stag nant blood, preventing the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimu- lates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accommodating poison, and thus

ARE FOUR HOURS ENOUGH.
'ew York World.

From the New York World.
 The theory of the Chicago -Four Hours Sleep Club" as explained in the World recently is interesting rather than con- vincing.
 To prove that no one need spend more than one-sixth of his life in sleep the members cite von Humboldt, Brunei, the engineer; Littre and Napoleon, all of whom got along with two, three or four hours. The last of these examples is ill., chosen. Napoleon paid heavily for his owlish early ways by the lethargy which lost him Waterloo. On his voyage to St. Helena he slept more than half the time; in his island prison he was sluggish and somnolent and died at 52.
 Different constitutions and different ages require varying amounts of sleep Wesley's dictum that "six hours was enough for a man, seven for woman and eight for a foor' was the saying of an old man. In general men of slender frame, studious habits and ascetic tastes sleep less than their fatter brethren. It will probably be found that the average adult of middle age is best served by seven or eight hours.

CHANGES OF THE BABY BOY.

From the Boston Herald.
 The Indianapolis Sentinel has been do- ing some figuring in averages on the baby boys chances in life. It says that the chances are 3o,0OO,0o0 to that he will not become President of the United States or Vice. President or Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Yet it holds true that any badly boy may reach either of these places that is to say, there is a possibility until the phenomena of his development surely count him out. The chances are 410000 to 1 that he will not be a United States Sem ator. 3,330 to 1 that he will not be a member of the House of Representatives and S20.000 to 1 that he will never be Gov ernor of State. All these figures are subject, of course. to certain special cir cumstances. possible or otherwise. One may presume that an Ohio boys chance of becoming President is much better than the chance of a Delaware or a Rhode Island boy, if he stays at home. The chances are 5Ss to that he will not go Insane, 1250 to that he will not be an in- mate of a public almshouse, 400 to that he will never be an enlisted soldier or sailor, 1900 to 1 that he will never be city policeman and 9117 to i that he will never be President of a national bank.

this way disappointments and regrets may be avoided on the return of the great festival. No one knows what a great country Is capable of in the
 ter of gifts unless he can see on Christmas eve or on Christmas morn ing a postoffice or an express office. In neither is the delivery of packages possible. Even the delivery of ordina- ry mail matter is confused and delay ed in the former, and in the latter con- fusion simply reigns, and nothing is done.
 Christmas is nearly year ahead, and the lesson of delayed packages should be remembered or at least re- called. The delayed package loses much of it's value when 1t Is delivered in a battered condition after the fes- tival season is ended, and then, too, it has served to disarrange and de- moralize normal business, and has really become a nuisance instead of a blessing. However such ills are soon forgotten, and that is where the trou- ble comes in-givers will repeat next year what they did this var.

Fl ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Reopeninq the Sandefur Case.

A rehearing of the Sandefur case either in the Supreme court of this State or in the United States Supreme court is probable, and is certainly de- sirable. As things stand the natural drainage of Jones Valley is to be cut off, and intercepting sewers on either side of natures channel are called for. Logically speaking these intercepting sewers should extend from Birming- ham to the sea, and even into the sea far enough to avoid any perceptible contamination thereof. Under the re- cent decision of the Supreme court MT. Sandefur has no right to place his cowyard or even his henyard where either will be drained into Valley creek, for such action would befoul the stream. MT. Sandefur's sewage is bottled up as well as that of this town. What is sause for the goose must be sause for the gander.
 Law of this nature should be fully and finally determined before it is ac- cepted All other cities turn sewage into streams. Atlanta Is compelled by heavy intervening hills to utilize several streams, all smaller than Val. ley creek, and yet no injunction is granted And so it is throughout the country. Chicago. turns her sewage into St. Louis water supply, and no injunction issues. If the common law in Alabama supports injunctions in such cases, it is strange 1t does not in other States. The entire subject cannot be too thoroughly adjudicated, and if rehearing cannot be obtained in the Supreme court of this State, let the case be carried..to the court of last resort at Washington.

 THE GRIP OF THE BOoKMAkER.

There's grip not only in the title, but in the story of the last book by Percy White, "The Grip of the Bookmaker" arouses interest on the first page and sus- tains it until the last with the adventures of "Alf' Harris, formerly a we'll known turf figure, who when his fortune was made, changed his name to MT. Mortimer Gorden, and tried with only partial suc- cess to put the old gambling life back of him for the sake of his son.
 It Is around this son and his love affair that the story centers. Philip Mortimer, old "Alf's' only child is splendid fellow in every way In spite of his origin and the decided obstacles set In his way by his father and even his dead mother. It is only after many and severe trials that he Is able to overcome the prejudice natural particularly in England-against his birth, and win the woman whom he loves when first he sees her as a child and who, before she comes to love him is welded to a brute of a husband. |, Clean character sketches abound throughout the book. The Colonel, the father of Philips Dulcinea, is a strik- ing old man. and the constant feud which rages between him and old ''Alf' Harris otherwise Mortimer Gorden. is amusing and at times serious.
 As whole. the book is one abounding in dramatic situations and filled with un- usual merit. It is strange how few books of the day actually come up to a proper standard of literary exeellence hut fhia is one that seems lacking in nothing to make 1t a perfectly worthy production.

NEW AND SILLY SOCIAL FAD.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 Philadelphians are at a loss to under stand Washingtons new fad in visiting cards Initials. Christian names and house address, all are omitted. The new cards simply read Mrs. Jones', Miss Jones' or MT. Jones'"
 Miss Smith receives the card of MT. Jones. Now. she does not have the re- motest idea which Mr. Jones is awaiting her in the drawing room. He may be that horrid fellow who was such bore last year-the soldier chap she hoped was securely tied in the Philippines. Or, de- lightful thought, he may be that hand some man she met last week and asked to call, fearing all the while he never would. She Is "at home" goes down. stairs in her prettiest gown, to be greet ed by the man from the Philippines.
 Mrs. Brown calls on Mrs. Smith. The latter does not know whether she is the Mrs. Brown of last year-the one every body decided to ostracise-or this year 8 Mrs. Brown-the new wife. To be on the safe side and avoid future complica- tions she Is mot at home" Thus 1t is that Washington society is gravely trou- bled by this latest whim of fashion.
 In Philadelphia the men continue to write their names in full. The matrons if they be of the class known as strong minded" write their own names in full sometimes using a hyphen between the maiden and the married name. The old est daughter of the household Is, as she always was, Miss Smith" The others write their Christian names on their

Experimental Labor Court.

While both labor and capital are massing on scales hitherto unknown, all feel that conflicts between them would be threatening and even appal- ling. Capital dreads such conflicts even more than labor, and ali interests not directly involved would be dis turbed if not distressed.
 To meet these apprehended con flicts the more thoughtful heads of labor and capital have come together in the hope that all conflicts in an acute form can be avoided altogether. It is proposed to form a court, per pe.ual and self-perpetuating court, to which all conflicts are to be referred --or rather to which such conflicts can be referred, for compulsion of a legal nature does not and cannot be- come part of the plan. This court is to consist of twelve representatives of capital, twelve representatives of organized labor, and twelve men of high reputation who are to represent the people generally" Ex-President Cleveland is an example of the last named dozen.
 The members of this high and hon. orable court of conciliation have been chosen. And they have in most in stances at least, consented to serve, and when the court is fully ready there can be no more strikes and lock outs unless one or both sides to 1t desire lockout or strike, If they de- sire a fair and just settlement by high minded honorable men there can be no strike or lockout.
 The plan Is a noble one. Selfish ness nd arrogance may prevent it's full and fair execution, but even the experiment will prove helpful and val uable. It is a sign that the world is moving upward toward the full recog- hilton of the brotherhood of man that brute force is no longer the um- pire-that the vexed problem is not wholly beyond hope of solution.

New Railroad.

Work is progressing satisfactorily on the Dothan. Hartford and Florida Rail- road, which Is being butt from Dothan to St. Joseph on the Florida coast" said Mir William Kennedy, resident engineer of a ten mile section starting from the Alabama terminal, who is spending the holidays in Birmingham.
 This is an important line as it will afford an outlet for the Plant system at Dothan and will accommodate shippers in the lower end of Henry County and the Florida strip. St Joseph, the Gulf terminal, was a well built and hourishing city sixty years ago. It was entirely de- populated by the yellow fever. but it is to be re-established It is desolte place now however. Many large brick houses, empty for over a half century, are seen there. Some of these buildings look as good as new, so far as the walls are con- cerned.
 "The Dothan, Hartford and St. Joseph road is IF miles long. It runs through a good timber and agricultureal country. The company was organized eighteen mouths ago by enterprising citizens of Henry County. MT. J. P. Pelham is the president. Although Hartford, in Geneva County is named in the title of the com pany the road will not run near there as 1t is too much out of the way"
 MT. c. R. Girard is the chief engineer of the line and Benjamin H. Hardaway Is the general contractor. The road will be completed in about eighteen months.

AMERIcANIZlNG CUBA.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Tn one extremely important particular Cuba is being Americanized with great rapidity. W. c. Gorgas, major and sur geon of the United States army, and chief sanitary officer of Havana, in his report issued on December 5, 1901. shows that the sanitary condition of that city shows an improvement in each month over the cor responding month of 1900, and that year scored an advance on all preceding years. In November, 1898. just at the close of the war with Spain, and before the United States occupation of the city began, there were 2O54 deaths in Havana, while there were only A in that months in 1900 which was the lowest mark ever reached in that month since the population of Havana has been up to any high figure. In Mo- vember. 1901. the number of deaths was 443
 Havana, which was formerly one of the unhealthiest cities on the face of the globe has now become one of the health- lest The death rate In 1897 was 16o per thousand. The Americans reduced it to n per thousand in 1900 In 1901 1t has been cut to 1a6s per thousand. In 1896 there were HIS deaths in that city from yellow fever. There were only 79 in 1899. There have been only in 1901 In November. 1901. for the first time since 1762. there has not been a single case of yellow fever in Havana. In November, 1900, there were 2i4 cases and 54 deaths. There has not been case this year since September 2S  when yellow fever is most prevalent in Havana. Until 1901 there has never during a hundred years been day during those months in which there were not many cases of yellow jack in that city,
