WAREHOUSE. BURNED.
Fire Was Caused by the Combustion of
 Unsiacked Lime.

A warehouse belonging to the Moore & Handley Hardware Company and located in Morris avenue, near Seven teenth street, was partially destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon, causing a ,-amage of about $200.
 The house was used for storing such articles as lime and cement and at the time of the fire a considerable lot of both was piled In the building.
 The fire is supposed to have origin ated in the combustion of unslacked lime. Chief Mulnn of the fire depart ment is of the opinion that the lime had become very hot and when the rainstorm came up the water fell in the building and caused the lime to explode. By this means the building was set fire and the roof destroyed. -oth the Northside and the Southside fire departments answered the alarm and two streams of water soon extin- guished the flames. A considerable amount of cement was ruined by the streams of water.

STRIKE ORDERED
 AT RAGLAND MINES
Sixty-fve Men Will Go Out. Committees Yesterday Ex-
 amined Co.'S Books

A strike has been ordered at the coal mines of the Ragland Coal Company and on Monday sixtyhve men will refuse to work
 William Kirkpatrick, organizer of the United Mine Workers, has been in Rag land and returned to Birmingham yester- day afternoon. He states that the men will not go to work until their demands have been granted or an amicable agree ment reached.
 It Is said that the operators refuse to pay last years scale of 521a cents per ton flat. The operators offered to give the Coal City scale which Is 50 cents, or 21s cents below the Pratt scale. The men refused to accept this offer and the strike was ordered
 The trouble at Scouts mountain over the shooting hour has been amicably settled, both sides making some con- cession.
 Two committees of miners were in Bir- mingham yesterday examining the books of the Sloss Steel and Iron Company and the Tennessee Company. The Sloss books disclosed the fact that iron was selling at over ten dollars per ton and under eleven dollars. As a result the price of mining was advanced PIE cents per ton. The men will during the month of July get 52ta cents
 The committee after examining the books of the Tennessee Company re- ported that the selling price of coal had not changed enough to cause any change in the price of mining and that the price would be the same for July as In June.

.BIG RAIN STORM
 FLOODS THE CITY The Water Came Down in Great Driving Sheets LIGHTNING STRIKES HOUSES No Serious Damage Was Done, But Persons Were Badly Frightened.
 The Hot Weather Spell Is
 At Last Broken.
LIGHT MING STRIKES HOUSES

Birmingham was swept by a violent ram storm yesterday morning, and for several hours the streets were flooded with water. The wind drove the rain about the city in great sheets, forcing pedestrians to hug the buildings or seek shelter in the stores and saloons. In all of the drug stores where persons are ac- cnstomed to walt for cars there was a be- draggled lot of dripping humanity. It looked as if no one escaped the drenching rain, and all huddled together in n bond of dampened sympathy.
 The sewers in several places were un- able to carry off the large volume of wa ter, and at the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street there was a great lake. The water also came up on the sidewalk at the southeast corner of Twentieth street and Second avenue.
 The rain storm was the climax in the hot weather spell and the temperature dropped several deg rees During the late afternoon and evening The atmosphere was invigoratng and pleasant.
 The residence of s. f,. Grady at Pearl street, West End, was struck by fight HiIB ldl5 III the 21lernOOn. Only minor damage was done to windows and one chimney, but the family was given a se- were scare.
 Booths windmill. about two squares distant, also suffered but whether from a bolt or the high wind is not known The steel superstructure was twisted like a reed.
 The storm extended as far west as Powderly and telephone communication was interrupted considerably during the electrical display. The rain, although squally at times, came down in torrents and filled the dry beds of the small streams to overflowing.
 It Is reported that the lightning by striking the earth several times in the mine districts, a mile to the south, created consternation among the negro populace. The more superstitious 1t is claimed, offered up prayer for their pro- lection.
 The house of William Redd in Elev- enth avenue, South Highlands. was also struck by lightning during the rain storm. One chimney was knocked down and the roof slightly torn up. Though no serious damage was done, the family was badly frightened.

ANOTHER BURGLAR
 LODGED IN JAIL
Was Caught in the Residence of H. K. MiIner-Admit-
 ted Being a Thief

Another member of the burglars asso- ciation was caught last night, and now four of the housebreaking artists are in the city jail.
 Will Rogers, the man who was arrested last night, was caught in the act of bur 2009 Fifth avenue, and when taken in tow by Officer Martin Eagan admitted he was in the house for the purpose of stealing all he could.
 Gus Colvin, who sleeps in MT. Miners residence while the latter's family Is away for the summer, went to the house last night about 10 o'clock, and just as he reached the gate saw a dim light slowly moving about the floor. As gas was used in the house for lighting purposes he his steps to Fourth avenue, and there found Policeman Eagan and told him of what he had seen. The pair went back to the house, and the light was still seen moving around. The policeman then went to the rear of the house, and MT. Colvin Sntered the front door. The surprised burglar ran for the rear ofAthe house and right into the officers arms. The negro when cornered admitted that he had gone into the house for the purpose of stealing On the floor a pile of clothing was found where he had placed 1t ready for removal The negro gave his name as Will Rog- CTS, and was lodged in jail.

A STlMULANT. And Sorry Friend to Some Systems.

Coffee acts as a stimulant to me. I can for a time accomplish considerable more work, but then I am dull, spiritless, nervous weak and irritable. Coffee acts like a slow poison on my father, giving him inward pains and feeling of being generally upset. Continued use always used to make him Ill.
 "Ife used to be very fond of the bever- age, and wau in the habit of drinking it two mornings. say, then skipping a few days and taking it two mornings again. If he took it the third morning, he was invariably sick It is two years new since we had the first package of Postum. We have been using it ever since to our very great benefit.
 "A lady friend who Is the wife of prominent clergyman in New Haven (whose name I am not at liberty to give) was a complete nervous wreck from the use of coffee. About year ago she be- gan the use of Postum and continued it. Six weeks after starting she had lost all her former nervousness, had grown plump In the face. and her health better than 1t had been for years. She Is a splendid walking advertisement, and is most en- thusiastic in the praise of Postum, tell ing all of her callers of its merits and urging them to try it." Kate Austen, Hamden, Conn.

SUPERSTITION SAVES COAL.
It Lies In China and Near the Coast,
 But Is Not Mined.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 Because of superstition one of the richest coal beds In the world lies un- worked This will not be the case long after the great powers have partitioned China, for the mine lies near the city of Annoy in that unfortunate country, and 1t may be imagined that modern greed will not hesitate to go after that coal.
 Fengshui comes with birth and is never ending It attends every important act and combines the functions of fortune, fate and destiny One may not under take an enterprise unless that spirit fa- vors it. It sets the time for marriage, and it must be propiated before burial.
 The compound Is made of words that mean wind and water, or that which cannot be seen and that which cannot be grasped. No amount of speculation or research by foreign inquiries has result ed in making much more of 1t than this definition. Since 1t thus symbolizes what the human mind cannot easily compre- bend the Chinese not only accept 1t with out question but as reality pertaining to their own life and governing 1t.
 Annoy needs little fuel except for cook ing, but the supply hardly satisfies the most sparing use of wood. In some places women and children by hundreds find livelihood by gathering stems, sticks and leaves and in digging for roots. which will always bring good prices in copper cash. The work has become almost an industry in the adjoining province, where the searchers for fuel trudge miles for it daily. On the way to the hills where they gather it they have made a path which has become so worn that 1t exposes a coal bed along almost its entire length. Out cropings elsewhere In the same section show coal at hand over a vast area ready for use and to be gathered at infinitely less trouble than the wood is obtained from the hills.
 But doctors have declared that there must be no disturbance of the coal beds. The people bow as If to an inspired law. It is permitted to despoil some of the hills for fuel and they are kept stripped con tinually by the thousands who make a living by gathering wood and carrying 1t back to the settlements. The spirits gen erated by the wind and water and which occupy and envelop the earth exact this burden upon toiling millions, who bear it patiently and without complaint.
 It Is an essential purpose of Fengshui to perserve the harmonies of nature It aims at placid conditions. The welfare of the people is best to be served. so far as anything approaching philosophy enters into this sort of calculation by leaving things as they always have been in or der that the spirits of earth and air may forever move in the currents to which they have become accustomed, so that there may be no distraction of annoy- ance to provoke or ruffie them. If they are driven out of their course through human agency. the penalty is exacted in human suffering.
 Hence all possible precaution is taken

Tom L. Johnson in a Cleveland Pulpit.


 Cleveland, O.-Mayor Tom L. John son Sunday occupied the pulpit of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, the one attended by the Rockefellers, and preached to large congregation. He said:
 "The world as rule is not made so much better by charity as it Is made better by justice. When a preacher ness it Is well. We must abolish crime by breaking down abuses. The most good can be done by breaking down these abuses and unjust schemes. Don't lose sight of the fact that there are men on the outside who are doing good work in preventing crime.
 "As has been said, it Is a good sign to see politicians and ministers to- gether. It Is a big step in the right direction. Don't forget that the best sermons are preached outside the pull pit.
 When I listen to the prayers for pardons at the workhouse I hear ser mons that it would do every man and woman in Cleveland good to hear. The crime of the world is not always in the individual; it is more often in the en- vironment. Crime comes from poverty from a failure to do justice. Let us aim for justice.
 "The man who is oppressed Is not susceptible to the influence of the pull pit. I am trying to obtain universal possession of rights"

CITIZEN OPPOSED TO
 REGISTRAR SYSTEM
Says Under the Proposed Plan They Will Be Given License 10 Commit Many Frauds if They Should So De-
 sire-A New Question Discussed

enment that three wholly irresponsible men in each county, protected by the su- preme law from being made to suffer for any wrong done in their official capacity, are to be made the supreme judges of every mans character and employment and his right to vote!
 "The scheme will not only perpetuate fraud, but will lend legal protection to greater degree of corruption in politics than has ever yet prevailed in Alabama.
 "And a most objectionable provision for unpunishabie fraud Is found in the exemption of all men over 45 years of age from paying poll tax.
 After a negro Is thirty no man can guess within fifteen years of his age Therefore a great majority of the ne- groes in the Blackbelt will be each over 45, under the proposed system; for since the registrars are to be the sole judges of the qualifications of voters, they may at will put practically all the ne- groes on the poll lists. The negroes wouldn't know anything about it, but if they should 1t wouldn't serve any pur- pose.
 There being no appeal from the regis trars and no way of purgng their lists, the names of the registered negroes over 45' would remain permanently un- changed, for in the Blackbelt, you know. a negro never dies as far as voting is concerned.
 This franchise seeks to place 1t in the power of three white registrars in tho county of Lowndes for example, to put 5000 iliterate and untaxed negro voters on the poll lists in perpetuity. These 5000 votes the bosses of the registrars could use on election day as they pleased and to suit any purpose.
 Another thing that amazes me very greatly Is that the minority report on the franchise deals solely with the grand father clause, giving no attention to the really outrageous propositions connected with the plan of registration. It would almost seem that this monority report was made in order to confuse the public mind and conceal the outrageous wrong that it is sought to perpetrate upon the people by the power of the registrars!'
