 Dishes.
JOsTLED BY PROPRIETOR

J. P. German, the state examiner of public accounts, has sent card to the Age-Herald, signed by his brother, R. w. German, who recently had difficulty in a Buffalo restaurant. The card fol- lows:
 To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 An erroneous account. of a difficulty in- to which 1 was forced here few days ago found it's way into print. I desire for the benfit of my friends to state the matter as 1t occurred. Upstairs. near the Alabama exhibit is Q small restau- rant. Saturday my wife carried party of ladies, from Newman. Ga-, there for lunch. It seems that you have to take a seat the moment you enter, on account of the small space. My wife procured seats for the ladies and was telling them where to come after lunch. when she was rudely accosted by negro waiter, who told her to move out and began pushing her by the arm. She told him to stop and then one of the white pro- prietors pushed her himself. The ladies who were after the lunch left also on account of the reprehensible conduct of the people. My wife came down to the exhibit and told me about 1t, and l went up at once, Mir. Thomas of Montgomery, who is with me here following. I asked who 1t was that insulted my wife and where was he. A lady who seemed to be in charge, asked me what I wanted and l told her I wanted the man. She said that she was running the place, and at that time an insolent negro came up and said that he was the one who was talk ing to the lady, and as he did hit him in the face. and in the next lick tore his coat off We were then separated. most of the crowd jumping on me and began attacking me from behind while they had me pinioned. MT. Thomas got in few licks that somewhat cleared the space, and the woman began screaming that we were attacking her and got police man. We went with him to the captain who heard our statement and as no one would appear to make any charge, he told us there was no case any way. Nu- meraus loyal friends went with us and proffered every aid, but it was not need ed. The fake establishment does not rep resent, the actions of the people here who are very courteous and good and with whom the relations are most pleasant.
 The restaurant is now engaged in buy ing a new suply of dishes and, it Is said, Is treating people more courteously.
 A partisan press here has so little use for the South or it's people that though my side of the question was furnished them, it was not given as it should be.

LAID RAILROAD
 LINE AT NIGHT
Tennessee Company Gets Ahead
 Street Railway
ALL DONE IN A FEW HOURS
Companies Have Been Dlsputing Over Right of Way-Both Sides as Silent as the Grave About
 the Matter.

During Thursday night a railroad line no connection whatever, with no cars or engines to run along the rails. and with no depot of other terminal facilities was built between Smithfeld and Jew ish cemetery. The line was placed on the right of way granted by the Birming- ham Railway, Light and Power Com pany and claimed by both that company and the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road Company.
 The road was built by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company during the night, but without the permission of the street railway company or their knowledge either as for that matter. The track is laid at q point where the rail- ways line runs parallel to the lines of the Kansas City. Memphis and Birming- ham and the Birmingham Southern Railway. The latter was formerly the properity of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company.
 Several weeks ago the consolidated street railway company decided to lay double tracks on it's line to Ensley and thereby perfect a fast service with the Steel City With this in view the work was begun on the line, but before any trackage was laid dispute arose be- tween the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company and the street rail- way company relative to the ownership of the right of way. Pending a settle ment of this question the latter stopped work.
 Thursday night the office of the com pany was startled by the receipt of a telephone message to the effect that men were at work laying track on the newly graded roadbed of the company. One, two, three messages followed in rapid succession, but nothing could be done
 It was not possible to secure an injunc- ton and send an officer to the scene of the disturbance or rather the work, for all judges were getting wisdom sleep at that hour. (Wisdom sleep comes in the early night since beauty sleep comes in the early morning). So the manager and the assistant manager, and the super intendent and his assistant quietly went to sleep and tried to dream forgetfulness of that newly laid track. But they could not do so, for they knew part of their light and trolley poles were mixed in be- tween the tracks of the other company like thin ham in a sandwich They fear ed an engine from the opposing line might blow them down.
 Yesterday morning these officials were unsatisfying silent when questioned re- garding their prospective movements rel ative to the construction placed on the right of way. The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company officials were also silent-as darlxly and strangely so as were the men who laid the track the previous night. All stated they hoped the affair woud be settled in satisfactory manner.

HOW TO BUILD A BODY.

One of the most important discoveries of late is the application of the right kind of food to rebuild the lost substances of the body, thrown off by the active, nerv- ous work of Americans.
 Careful investigation by experts in food and diatetics. has brought out the fact that albumen, which is contained fin var ious foods, is acted upon by phosphate of potash, not such as obtained In drug stores, but such as Is found in certain parts of the field grains in most minute particles, arranged in Natures labora- tory, not mans t
 The part of the grains containing phos- phate of potash is used in the manufac- ture of Grape-Nuts Food. therefore the active nervous, pushing brain workers can feed the body with food that goes directly to the rebuilding of the broken down gray matter in the brain. solar plexus and nerve centers all over the body, with the result that the individual who refreshes and rebuilds the body with proper material of this sort, obtains a definite result, which he can feel and know of and which Is apparent to his friends.
 A vigorous brain and nervous system Is of the greatest importance to any bus mess man or brain worker.
