Washington, January 1.-President Mo- kinley today received seventeen applica- tions for pardons and granted three ap- plications, remitted one fine and com- muted three sentences. George H.

PACKERS AND SALT TRUST.
Difference of Opinion as to Living Up
 to Contracts.

Cleveland, O., January 21.-The big pack ing companies are endeavoring to force the salt trust to live up to alleged contracts for the delivery of salt to them. Several days ago the Omaha Packing Company began suit against the United Salt Com pany (the trusD, for $90,0oO damages and today similar suit was instituted by Nelson Morris & Company of Chicago, damages being placed at $90,0O0. It is claimed that the salt company entered into a contract to furnish salt for year at certain price, and it is alleged that the terms of the contract have been violated. These actions were instituted in the United States Court
 A sensational incident occurred today in connection with the Omaha company's suit. Elmer Turner, secretary treasurer and general manager of the United Salt Company, was being examined before a notary and he refused to answer certain questions concerning the operations of the company that were asked by tne packing company's lawyer Notary Gott commit ted him to jail for contempt, but he was subsequently, released on writ of habeas corpus in the sum of $500 bail, which he furnished himself.

An Alabama Author

The following review of King Arthur and His Court by Miss Nimmo Greene of Montgomery is contributed to these col umns by a gifted Montgomery woman:
 We of Montgomery rejoicing in the promised success in literary ventures of a Montgomery woman. We have the heart felt satisfaction, too. of saying, "I told you so," for we have long known her tal- ent and her charm and have listened to her club papers which in originality, wit and research 'led all the rest"
 refer to King Arthur and His Court" by Miss Nimmo Greene. a book which has been accepted by the great school-book publishers, Ginn & Co.,, of Boston, and which only awaits for it's appearance their acceptance of an artist who will illustrate the story brought by the genius of Miss Greene within the ken of childhoods mind to .'lie like shaft of eight across the vistas that lead to ideal manhood and wo- manhood.
 Miss Greene's mother, who was Jennie Owen of Tuscaloosa, has much of which other women would be proud-for 1t Is only a short time ago that the literary critics were heralding the fame of another daugh- ter. Mrs Annie Greene Brown, author of .Fireside Battles" A friend of this truly Fascinating and winsome dame of the old school said recently: "The Misses Greene were wonderful girls to me until met their mother and then they were ex- plained-and it would, in truth, be re- markable if they were not just what they are'
 In this world where one so seldom attains his or her highest wish, it is something to be thankful for when we see devoted mother realize for her children the ambi- ton that they shall tread the highest paths and help others on their upward way. There is no book for the young more helpful in spirit than Mrs. Brown s story, and Miss Greene's tale of chivalry adapted for supplementary reading in schools belongs to that class of literature called formative of character by teach CTS. The publishers predict great fu- ture." and those whose privilege it was to see it in manuscript predicted this decision from the publishers.

 We still have day to comply with the courts order. We can appeal from it, and that will probably be done.

DoWAGER EMPRESS FREDERICK.
Her Condition Has Become Materially
 Worse-Reports Differ.

London, January A.-The following state ment as to the condition of Dowager Elm press Frederick appears in the Daily Chron- acle:
 Tt Is with sincere regret that we an- nounce that the Empress Fredericks con- dtion has become materially worse. There have been developments of the disease from which she is suffering and her physical pain is intense.
 ''All idea of any journey in pursuit of health have been definitely abandoned and it is i nthe degree improbable that she will evr leave."
 This Is somewhat at variance with reports from Berlin to the other morning papers which report that the condition of the Dowager Empress is trifie more favorable but a sthe Associated Press has already an nounced the news that the Queen had a very serious effect upon her oldest daughter. The Dowager Empress was very anxious to go to Osborne and did not abandon the hope of going until it was represented to her that it would be utterly impossible for her to undertake the journey.
