in the proposed suffrage clause-I be- lieve the people will vote 1t down at the polls and will not permit under any circumstances its being "counted in upon them.''
 It Is easy to read between the lines the real purpose of the interviewer and the interviewed. The Age-Herald is paving the way to kick out of the Democratic traces and oppose the rat ification of the new Constitution, and is building a straw man out of the charges that the Black Belt proposes to count in the adoption of the new instrument.
 When boiled down to a well favored Brunswick stew The All. is on It's ear because The Montgomery Adver- tiser has skipped by her arsd again assumed Democratic leadership, a po- sition The All. might have held had it been wise enough.
 We will state for the information of The All. that the Black Belt per- celves that that paper, while planning to ospouse the cause of a certain white element of Jefferson County, 1t is aiso getting ready to become the organ oi the white Republican party under the new regime as result of the new Con- stitution. In this change of base the Democrats of the Black Belt are all ready in. condition to say. "Farewel white wings! the old lady at the Cap itaL while sometimes wrong. she is true to the cause she represents, and as tc wisdom. The Age-Herald will not com pare to her even when robed in the variegated colors or a new dress" The Black Belt Is losing no sleep over the pranks of its recently acquiret newspaper enemy in the Magic City but sympathizes with her many friends l and old citizens there who have to ,be bored by such stuff as fills its columns

THE RECORDERS MATINEE
Judge Tarver Dispensed Quick Jus tice to Numerous Ap-
 rIicaffnua

The classic hall, where the Goddess of Justice and Judge Brit Tarver get busy every afternoon. was decidedly abridged edition yesterday. Only a few cases were up for adjustment. and they were put out with quickness and de- spatch.
 The case against the street car em- ployes for running cars without lights was called. and Chief Gerald informed the court that he had been told by ;he City Attorney that there was no ordi- nance in the statutes covering the of- fence. The case was dismissed.
 Hattie Lee Block, a woman who fig ured in the Police Court some time ago for being mixed up with an unpaid board bill at Belle Ennis's house, in turn had the Ennis woman arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct, alleg- ing that the latter had used very abu- sive and insulting language to her. The case was thoroughly aired, and from the evidence of all the witnesses, His Honor decided that the prosecution had failed to substantiate the charge. The case was dismissed.
 A negro, Sol Brown, was up for as- sault and battery on negro woman named Polly Cole. Polly is a coy damsel, looking to be in the neighbor- hood of SO summers and sundry Win ters. She evidently believed that there is something in a name. for she was as black as the blackest coal that ever happened. When His Honor asked her how old she was, she made the startling reply. "36.'
 what! said Judge Brit, who. after looking at the gray head of the old wo- man. nearly fell off of the bench.
 "She means that she was 36 thirty years ago, Your Honor" said the Chief of Police. "Yessr. Boss; youse 'zactly right. jerked out the old woman, with a grin. With another glance at the old gray head. Judge Brit sent Sol Brown back to the pen with $50 and costs tackled on him.
 Johnny Floyd was up again on the same old charge that has been almost constantly stereotyped against his name on the police blotter for the last forty years-plain drunk. After giving him some sound advice. the Judge told Johnny that he would let him off this time, but the next time he appeared be- fore the bar of justice-and he wouldn't be there if he would let other bars alone-he would soak him for six months.

Hon. J. A. Simpson, Secretary of the Board of Education of San Francisco, Cal, writes:
 "I have found Peruna an ideal tonic. Some months ago suffered with neuras- thcnia (systemic catarrh), caused by too close application to office work. My system seemed worn out and l felt far from well. found Peruna benefited me very much. It built up the entire sys- tenn and made me feel like a new man. I believe it is well worthy the high praise bestowed upon it."--J. A. Simpson.
 Systemic catarrh always gives fair warning of its approach, and can be easily warded of by the proper treat ment. Floating brown specks before the eyes, mental confusion, fits of nerv- ous headache, sleeplessness, flashes of heat, chilly sensations, palpitation, irri- tability, dependency; any of these symptoms or all of them should be promptly met by the use of Peruna.

 J. Edward Clark, 4O2 Temple street, Los Angeles, Cal, writes:
 "I fully believe Peruna saved my life. About two years ago after returning from Alaska was taken with catarrh of the stomach and in fact of the whole system. My stomach failed me, as noth- ing I ate seemed to do me any good, but always gave me pains and belching oi gas. My kidneys got sore and weak, I had palpitation of the heart, my lungs were sore, and it was difficult to draw a long breath. I also had fainting spells and while walking was afraid I might fall to the sidewalk. also had to gel up at night and sit in chair to keeI

IS THIS ITS PLANp
The Age Herald Accused of Ulterior
 Purposes.


 Marion Standard.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald has de- voted no little of its space for several weeks past in abuse of the black-beit of Alabama. Not satisfied with its mis- representation that this section is op- posed to public schools. which has been copied in a number of papers of other States, 1t now prints an interview with a self-appointed black-belt Democratic leader who furnishes more venom for our enemy to feed the public upon. The Age-Herald says: ... "A black-balt Democrat who has held high position in the D. mocratic party organization of Alabama, made bold to announce yesterday that the suffrage clause of the new Alabama Constitution would be adopted whether or not Jefferson County and the north ern counties of the State want the new Constitution. That the black belt would count in a sufficient majority in favor to overcome the majority in other sections against it, and that in this way the Constitution would be adopted. Do you suppose" I asked him, that the great majority of the white Demo- crats of this State will permit the black belt to count in upon them a Constitution which they do not want?" What can they do?" he replied. We
 
 want in the ck-belt and I presume we will do it."
 This man may be right or he may be wrong. hope he is wrong, for do not believe that the people of. this State will be willing to accept the sui frage, clause which it Is stated that the Constitutional Convention is sure to adopt, and I do not believe that they will permit any half dozen or more counties to "count in such a Consti- tuition upon them. It does appear to me that we are going from bad to worse in the suffrage clause of the new Constitution being made at Montgom- cry. I do not know of one man in the city of Birmingham who is satisfied with 1t. I do not know of any one who will vote for it with it's open doors for fraud in elections.
 Unless the delegates to the Constitu- tional Convention give considera ton to the wishes of the people and make a Constitution which is just and wise and that means a material compromise

The Legend Of the sno,vdrop.

An old legend gives the following as
the origin Of the snowdrop: After Ad-
am and Eve had been driven from the
garden Of Eden Eve was disconsolate.
One day as she sat silently grieving an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her. She longed for the dow-
ers, but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in robe Of
white.
AS the angel stood and spoke words
of hope to the weeping, repentant wom-
an be caught snowflake. breathed
gently upon it and said:
Take form. pure snowflake, bud and
blossom and be a comfort to humanity,
now and forever"
In twiukling tie snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower, as white and
pure as the snow itself, and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart. and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love.
the angel departed. but where he had
stood there Immediately sprung up q
circle Of perfect snowdrops.

ANOTHER BOILER DISASTER.
Three Killed, Many Injured and
Great Destruction of Property.

Pittsburg. Pa, Dec. 2o.-Three
dead. one missing and u injured is
the result of a terrific boiler explosion
at the Black Diamond Steel works OF
Park Brothers, on Thirtieth street.
this morning.
The dead are John Welvilla, aged
81: Patrick O'Connor, aged %: an IN
known man is missing and is probably
among the killed.
Rueben Miller, Jr., superintendent
of the plant, states that the boilers
were examined last week and pro-
nounced in excellent condition. No
known cause can be given for the ex-
polsion. but thorough investigation
is now in progress.
The explosion occurred at 4. 10 a.. M.
Four boilers exploded at once, reduc-
ing the mills to ruins. The boiler
works of James Mcneil adjoining were
also injured. Some parts of the boiler
went through the Park Bros. mill and
crashed into the Mcneil plant, almost
completely demolisbing it. Another of
the boilers went through the roof OF
the bar mill scared through the air
across Thirtieth street and crashed
into the residence of Robert Price. II
went through the front wall and fell
into the cellar, completely wrecking
the house. Price and his family were
asleep at the time and had to rush to
the streets in their night clothes.
The other two boilers were blown to
pieces and it was these that caused the
complete destruction of the mill.
Just what the extent Of the loss will
be to the Park Bros. company and
McNeil's is not known, but it i
variously estimated from s25, 900 to
100000.
Both plants will have to be rebuilt.
The force Of the explosion was great
on Thirtieth street, opposite the mill.
For almost one block there is not
whole pane of glass in any OF the
houses. Twenty-three blocks above
the mill, on Fifty third street, is the
residence of VIM. Curley. A lamp
was knocked off the table in Curley's
room by the force of the explosion.
A row of six brick tenement houses
in Spruce allev. opposite the mill,
occupied by Slavs principally. was
badly damaged. Every window in the
house was shattered and some Of the
walls are cracked. The inmates, when
they heard the explosion, jumped from
their beds and when they felt the
houses moving rushed to the street
shrieking and shouting. For at least
Is minutes tie entire number Of occu--
pants Of the houses stood an their bare
feet and in their night clothes in the
snow until they found that their
homes were not going to collapse.
