Three hundred dollars worth of nicely burned in Birmingham every thirty days.
 The question of dsposing of unclaimed packages of linen is constant thorn in the side of laundrymen in every city in the United States and Birmingham is no exception to the rule. All bundles of laundered clothes are kept on the shelves of the various laundries for sixty days, and if no one has called and claimed them by that time they are thrown into a large basket and opened. If the shirts are in good condition they are given to tramps or turned over to the charitable organizations. The collars and cuffs can not be disposed of and are usually burned
 Old collars and cuffs have never been offered for sale by laundrymen because of the variance of size and style. The collar one man admires another would not touch. To successfully put them on the market the collars would have to be assorted in sizes and styles, and this would be impraeticable as they would necessarily be sold at price that would not justify the trouble. In consequence they are taken out and burned and within a short time the shelves are again filled with unclaimed packages.
 The value of these packages range from thirty cents to $5, and it is estimated that fifty dollars worth of such linen is destroyed every month. There are seven

LAUNDRIES BURN MANY
 DOLLARS OF CLOTHING

iaundries which do large business in Birmingham and by multiplication 1t is shown that over three hundred dollars worth of clothes are burned during each month in the year. It will thus be seen that something over $s500 worth of collars and cuffs are destroyed as a result of carelessness on the part of linen wearing citizens in Birmingham every year.
 "rhe remarkable number of collars and cuffs left at laundries," said George C.. Griffin yesterday, -'can be accounted for in several ways. Frequently strangers come to the city, send their soiled clothes to the laundries and then hastily leave without calling for them. They rarely ever go to the trouble of sending back for them and the package is consequently destroyed.
 Another reason Is gross carelessness. Men often start down town with a bundle of soiled clothes and leave them at the first laundry they happen to see. They forget where they left them and some poor laundryman is frequently the victim of abuse form an irate citizen who had never been in his establishment. have callers nearly every day who fercely de- mand their laundered linen when in fact they left 1t at some other place. Other men send clothes to- certain laundries by servants, but these servants frequently forget the name of the establishment and leave the bundle in some other place"
 ''No; there has never been any joint ef- fort that I know of on the part of iaun- drymen to remedy this state of affairs, and am of the opinion that it wiil never be remedied People will always be care less and clothes will continue to be burn ed at the same expensive rate.'

local applications, if they accomplish any thing, at all. simply give transient relief.
 The catarrhal poison is in the blood and the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and trachea tries to relieve the system by secreting large quantities of mucous, the discharge sometimes closing up the nostrils, dropping into the throat, causing deafness by closing the Eusta- ehian tubes, and after time causing ca farrh of stomach or serious throat and lung troubles
 A remedy to really cure catarrh must be an internal remedy which will cleanse the blood from catarrhal poison and re- move the fever and conjeston from the mucous membrane.
 The best and most modern remedies for this purpose are antiseptics scientifically known as Eucalyptol, Guaiacol, Sanguin- aria and Hydrastin, and while each of these have been successfully used sepa- ratefy, yet 1t has been difficult to get them all combined in one palatable, con venient and efficient form.
 The manufacturers of the new catarrh cure. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, have sue ceeded admirably in accomplishing this result. They are large, pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dissolved in the mouth, thus reaching every part of the mucous membrane of the throat and finally the stomach.
 
 Catarrh Tablets contain no cocaine, op- fate or any injurious drug whatever. and are equally beneficial for little children and adults
 MT. c. R. Rembrandt of Rochester, N. Y, says: q know of few people who have suffered as much as I from Catarrh of the head throat and stomach. I used sprays, inhalers and powders for months at time with only slight relief, and had no hope of cure. had not the means to make a change of climate, which seemed my only chance of cure.
 "Last spring read an account of some remarkable cures made by Stuart's Ca- tarrh Tablets and promptly bought fifty cent box from my druggist and obtained such positive benefit from that one pack age that I continued to use them daily until now consider myself entirely free from the disgusting annoyance of ca tarrh; my head is clear my digestion all I could ask and my hearing, which had begun to fail as a result of the catarrh, has greatly improved until I feel I can hear as well as ever. They are a house. hold necessity in my family''
 Stuarts Catarrh. Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 cents for complete treat ment and for convenience, safety and prompt results they are undoubtedly the long looked for catarrh cure.

TALE OF A CHICKEN;
 A MORRIS AVENUE FABLE

The most important fact in the pro- duce market is the scarcity of chickens. This, however, is the oft told tale
 Speaking of chickens, here is case that Dr. Phillips or some other school specialist in psychology should investi- gate" said a Morris avenue merchant yesterday. Tt is this pet fowl of Wall & Co.'S.
 Early in the summer Wall held back a little chick from the slaughter. It came from Shelby county, labeled as a medium frier, but it was, he thought, far too young and tender to offer to the trade. He adopted it as an office pet and every body in the avenue knows 1t as the cake walker. Up to two or three weeks ago when poultry was in full supply, Miss Cake Walker was self-possessed and

ASHVILLE

Ashville, October u.-(Special)-At the openig of Circuit Court Judge Pelham in his charge to the grand jury touched strongly on the action of the mob at the trial of Jim Brown on the 18th of August. He made it very plain that 1t was their duty to investigate the affair most thor oughly and to fix the blame where it be- longed. ~*
 It is thought that the jury will find in dictments against the leaders of the mob. Some of those in the mob have already left the county.
 The people are united in their admira- ton for Judge Pelham and the firm, courageous way in which he has put the situation.

 happy No chicken ever seemed to have greater peace of mind.
 But this tranquility of Walls pet has given way to nervous excitement and singular timidity.
 Miss Cake Walker having heard of the scarcity of fowls and the clamor for good friers has made it a point to keep on the run, or out of sight all together, She used to range in the gutter and along the sidewalks in general Not so now. She is keenly on to the market talk, and fearing less she be seized and cooked, studiously keeps out of public view. It was pitiful to see the pet chicken futter and run from the water trough yesterday when she caught a glimpse of Paul. She is so nervous that she runs from everybody, but sight of any chef or caterer throws her into a fit. This is a psychological problem-how the chicken distinguishes between classes and individuals'
