Grande river. This was disputed
by Santa Anna, the then dictator
of Mexico, who threw a military
force in said disputed territory and
was there met by small u. s.
Army Of occupation under the com
m and of General Zechariah Tay-
lor.
Two sanguinary battles were
fought north of the Rio Grande,
and the enemy forced back across
the river. Our flag had been in
suited, and the invaders must be
punished; the Standing Army be-
ing considered insufficient for the
purpose, call for Volunteers was
made. Wilford Stiers, then at the
age of %, and having the blood Of
heroes coursing through his veins,
(his grandfather having foughtin
the war of 1922, was one of the
first to step forward and join the
ranks of Company "D," Second
Regiment Ohio Volunteer Infantry,
receiving the appointment of Ser
geant in his company.
After having served his term Of
enlistment with honor and distinc-
tion, he returned to his duties ON
the home farm.
On the 10th of December, 1847,
he was married to Miss Elizabeth
Wolf, daughter of Christopher
Wolf, a pioneer Of the Hook Hook
ing Valley and the owner of extern
sive lands, including where the
Hamlet of Haydenville now stands.
After his marriage he purchased
and located on the old Wolf home
stead, Starr township, Hooking
county, Ohio, Immediately south
of Haydenville, where he engaged,
in connection with agriculture
proper, the breeding and improve
ment of fine stock. In the year
1851, the tocsin of war again sound
ed, this time in our own country, a
rebellion, an endeavor to rend the
unity Of States.
Once more patriotism, the love
of country forged to the front, and
at the age of 81 years. Wilford
Stiers, leaving his wife and family
of small children, on the 10th day
of November, 1861, enlisted as a
private in Company 'F'' So Regi-
ment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He
was appointed 1st Lieutenant of
his company on the 9Th day JAN
uary, 1852 and promoted to Cap
tain, March 9th, 1862. :.
After his retirement from the
service Of his country, the Captain
returned to his farm, took up the
industrial pursuits pertaining ther-
to; not with renewed vigor howev-
er, for he was aged and broken
down, caused by exposure, and
hardships incident to camp life.
: About the year 1870 he was the
prime mover in the institution of a
Farmers Grange, the second in the
State of Ohio; he was also a mem

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT.
Judge Thorington and pr. J. H. Phil
 lips Mentioned for the Place.

Tuscaloosa, June 2.-(Special. )-The meeting of the trustees of the University tomorrow will be watched with interest. as the selection of a president to succeed Dr. Powers may possibly be made. The committee has not yet reported to the full board the name of any candidate unless it has done so in executive session. It is also a fact that a resolution has been offered to lay the matter of electing a president over for thirty days. The names of Judge w. s. Thorington, dean of the law school of the university, and Prof. J. H. Phillips of Birmingham are being mentioned as possibilities and there is an overcoming rumor that pr. James K. Powers has some staunch friends on the board of trustees who will urge his reelection, but this Is merely rumor, and whether Dr. Powers wants 1t over Is not known. It Is known that he told the board last January that his resignation was offered in good faith.
 There is some interest being manifest as to whether the faculty will be kept intact this year, a report being current that there will be some changes. The proba- bilities are that there will be no change however. It will be remembered that Gov ernor Sanford offered a resolution to keep the faculty in full for next year, but the board went into executive session to con- slider it, and it is learned that 1t was not adopted.
 There are several applicants for com mandant, and the treasurership fight may conna m at any time q G if is held bv some that General Johnston's election is void while it is known that he is prepared to contest 1t.

FRESH AT NIGHT.
If One Uses the Right Kind of Food.

If by proper selection of food one can feel strong and fresh at the end of days work 1t is worth while to know the kind of food that will produce this result.
 A school teacher of Media. Kan, says in this connection: 'I commenced the use of Grape-Nuts Food five months ago At that time my health was so poor that I thought I would have to give up my work altogether. was rapidly losing in weight, had little appetite, was nervous and sleepless, and experienced almost con- stantly a feeling of exhaustion. I tried various remedies without good results then I determined to give particu4f at tention to my food, and have learned something of the properties of Grape Nuts for rebuilding the brain and nerve centers.
 q commenced using that food and have since made a constant and rapid improve ment in health in spite of the fact that all this time have been engaged in the most strenuous and exacting work.
 T have gained twelve pounds in weight and have a good appetite. my nerves are steady and sleep sound. I have such strength and reserve force that I fee almost as strong and fresh at the close oi a days work as at the beginning.
 Before using Grape-Nuts wal troubled much with weak eyes, but as my vitality increased the eyes became strong. CT. I never heard of food as nutritioui and economical as Grape-Nuts. Please omit my name from print" Name can bs given by Postum Cereal Co.,, Ltd, Battle Ireek, Macl- as

Penteeost, with Saul of Tarsus, with the centurion of Cesarea, with Lydia, with the Jailor; all were regenerated before they were baptized. Much more will the mercy of God be extended to infants, who die before they can do either good or evil. For God Is rich in mercy And when sin abounded grace did much more abound Old rabbis represented Michael, minister of Gods vengeance as having one wing and moving slowly while Gabriel, the minister of his mercy, as having two and flying very swiftly, and outstripping Michael Gods mercy outstripping his vengeance.
 The Holy Spirit
 "The Holy Spirit is the agent of our salvation. By the washing of regenera- tion and the renewing of the Holy Ghost Note his two-fold work; first, regenera- tion, a new birth a radical change of nature. Second, renewing, a constant daily transformation, a progressive sane tifcation All this is the work of the Holy Spirit. It is fatal to grieve Him.
 "The Spirit is given through Jesus Christ. Brother Christian, are you sav- ed from sin, from a worldly selfish life? ;? If you are not saved from these you are not saved at all, you are yet In your sins. But are you saved from them and from the rule of sin and the penalty of sin? It is out of Gods mercy by the Holy Spirit given you from Christ. Now what will you do in return?
 My unsaved nearer, would you know when you are to be saved? can tell you. When you receive Christ as your Savior; then He sheds on you the Holy Spirit. VI works in your regeneration and renewi 4 all springing from Gods abundant mercs Will you not repent of sin? Will you not appeal to Gods mercy? Will you not re- ceive Christ with all your heart?'

ELOQUENT SERMON
 BY DR, BRANSC0MBE
Preached to Girls from the Bir-
 mingham Seminary
THEME WAS "CHARAC TERI
"The Kings Daughters Is All Beautiful Within"-Dr. Branscombe Urged Upon the School Girls the lm-
 portance of Character.

Dr. L. C. Branscombe preached the commencement sermon to the Birming- ham Seminary at the First Methodist Church last night and an immense con- gregation heard an able and eloquent ad- dress.
 Dr. Branscombe took for his text the 18th verse of 45th psalm-"The Kings Daughter is All Glorious Within
 The middle tiers of seats were occupied by the pupils of the Seminary and Dr. Branscombe's words were addressed al- most exclusively to the school girls.
 The theme of his sermon was "charac- ter" and from the text he drew beauti- full picture of the kings daughter who was beautiful within; whose splendor of dress was not her charm. She possessed a soul and character within that would have endeared her in the hearts of her fellow beings even had she been attired in the garb of a peasant.
 Dr. Branscombe urged upon the young women who were about to start in life
  ter. He showed them the beauty of young woman who was all glorious with in. Emery in dress is pleasing to the eye but a pure and womanly character Is inspiring to the soul.
 In ancient days before woman had grown to her present greatness the poets sang of her goodness. Purity was wor- shipful and the woman who attained a strong character was blessed indeed. Thou art finer than the children of men; grace is poured into thy lips; there fore God has blessed thee forever. She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needle work; the virgins that follow her shall be brought unto thee. with gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought, they shall enter the kings pal ace. Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children. whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. I will mako thy name to be remembered in all gen erations."
 Dr. Branscombe handled his subject In a superb manner and was given pro- found attention throughout the dis course.

ST. CLAIR SPRINGS.
Party of Prominent Birmingham Men
 Attend Opening Banquet.

The St. Clair Springs Hotel, of which Lesser and Gilardoni are the proprietors, was opened Saturday night with a ban quet of surpassing elegance. A party of a hundred and fifty persons, including representative men of Birmingham and their wives. left town on an Alabama Great Southern train at 4:40 Saturday afternoon and reached the springs sta- ton a little after o'clock. The guests were conveyed in omnibuses and car riages to the hotel, mile and a quarter distant. They reached their destination some time before dark and were greatly delighted with the scenery and the ac- commodations of the resort.
 The banquet was served at 9 o'clock in the dining hall of the hotel, and every one present admired the artistic decora- tions and the beauty of the tables. Paul never prepared a richer or more tempting menu. It included cocktails, la Paul; consomme, a la Henry Gray; imported salami, tenderloin trout, a la Al Camp bell; potatoes, la Caheen; spargetti, a la Harry Jones; Corvo white wine, fillet de beouf, la Rufus Rhodes; sauce, a la Barrett; Chianti, fancy capon. a la Henry Badham; asparagus, a la A. L. Fulenwider; sparkling passeretta, salad, a la P. G. Bowman; ice cream, a la B. M. Allen; assorted cakes a la Otto Marx; cheese, crackers and coffee.
 The banqueters were at the table until Il o'clock and from Il to 12 there was a merry dance in the pavilion. The grounds were brilliantly lighted and the scene was most enchanting.
 Mir Lesser MT. Gilardoni and MT. Richter were untiring in their attentions to the guests. Some of the guests req turned yesterday but a majority re- mained for this mornings train.
 The St. Clair Springs resort is styled Alabama's Baden Baden. The waters have a great reputation for their cura- tive qualities. There Is perhaps no stronger calybeate any where in this country, and the white, red and black sulphur waters at St. Clair are singularly beneficial to the human system.

PRACTICAL SERMON.
Father Downs Exhorts His Hearers to be Living Examples of Christianity.

The Rev. Father Downs was the cele- brant at both masses at St. Pauls yes terday and last night preached a practical sermon on right living. He said many Catholics did not set good examples. Some men come to confession on Satur- days and promise to amend their lives, but in few days they are guilty of gross sins again, thereby bringing reproach upon the name of Catholic. This. the priest said, should not be- All Catholics should set good examples. They should live up to their profession and high call ing.
 Father Downs called attention to the fact that many Catholics were absent from mass on Sunday and pointed out the sin of disregarding the precepts of the church. He hoped that those who had been negligent of their duties would do better in the future.
 In the afternoon the jubilee devotions were conducted by the Rev. Father O'Reilly. The procession from St. Paul's church to the church of Our Lady of Sor- rows was quite large. The last jubilee procession will take place next Sunday afternoon, weather permitting.
