SPEAKS OF LAWRENCE
GOVERNOR TERMS HIS DEATH A
 BLOW TO STATE SERVICE.
Says He Was Peculiarly Fitted for State Land Agent and Was Selected on Account of His
 Thorough Competency.

Governor Jelks returned yesterday even- ing from a trip to Union Springs and Eufaula. He will stay in the Executive office today and will go to Flomaton to- morrow morning. He will speak in Flo maton Friday and will then go to Green vile. where he will speak for the new Constitution Saturday, returning to Mont- gomery Saturday night.
 The Governor expressed his deep regret at the death of Edward H. Lawrence, State Land Agent He said that he re- garded the death of MT. Lawrence as a blow to the State service.
 When I came into office," said Gov ernor Jelks, "I found that the ownership of much land claimed by the State was in doubt People were claiming them by more or less valid titles and a great many acres are occupied by persons who appa- rently have no title to them except the title of occupancy. I hope during my administration to put these titles in such shape that there will be as little doubt as possible concerning the ownership and thus conserve the interest of the State.
 MT. Lawrence was selected as State Land Agent entirely with regard to his | competency for. the place. He had great knowledge of the public lands of Alabama and his death Is blow to the service. consider that those gentlemen who apply for the place ought to be peculiarly fit- ted for the work.
 You may say that I have not exam ined the applications and do not know who the gentlemen are who desire it. look upon the position as the head of one of the important departments of the State, and I will give the selection of MT Lawrence's successor the most careful consideration, taking due time to go over all of the applications"

CALM AFTER STORM
POLICE MADE NO ARRESTS YES
 TERDAY OR LAST NIGHT
Records Broken for Peace and Good order-only a Fight to Keep the Police Record Stainless
 for Twenty-four Hours.

But for one fight the peace of Mont gomery was unbroken all day yesterday and last night. The police blotter was practically unmarked, and the officers of the law were literally without occupa-
 tion so far as arrests were concerned. For city of Montgomery's size and
 importance the record is peculiarly signi- fcant It demonstrates the law-abiding character of the people who make Mont-
 gomerys population. There is perhaps
 no other city in the United States with 30, 900 population whose police force mas
 passed twenty-four hours without making an arrest.
 The day force yesterday patrolied the streets in the business and residence sec tions thoroughly and gave over the cl.y , last night into the hands Of the nlght force. The night men marched out to their beats and took up the patrol wnicn they continued until daylight. Though the day men encountered thousahos ol Monteomery's citizens not one Tn all the
 throngs was engaged in any undertaRing in violation of the law. With all the
 saloons in operation not a citizen was ln- toxicated Though the night men wan dered through the districts where millions of dollars worth of valuable property was stored away not a marauder was visible, nor A burglar with his implements to force the doors or windows. out in the
 residence sections the officers kept vigil over hundreds of homes where Montgom- ery's populace slept peacefully ana uh- | disturbed. At the police station like calm had
 settled down. Only few prisoners bur dened the cells, several left over from the police court session of the afternoon.
 Once, about midnight, darky began
 calling out to a companion Tn an adjoin- ing cell. His voice broke the death-like
 stiffness that had enveloped the building
 for an hour, and it seemed to startie
 a hundred sounds into life as 1t echoed
 through the dismal corridors. The uesh
 sergeant as though he felt 1t his duty
 to guard the stiffness of the night. arose
 from his chair and demanded silence 1T 1 the cells.
 "ouit back there!' he shouted. and th' l voice in the cell died away. With 1t tht | echoes ceased and once more perfec
 silence reigned. Not another sound wa! heard until daylight. when the prison cool began to prepare breakfast for th' | prisoners.

 Dr. Risdell says, "in patients who had lost the sense of smell entirely and even where the hearing has begun to be affected from ca tarrh, I have had fine results after only a few weeks use of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets can only explain their action on the theory that the cleansing and antiseptic properties or the tablets destroy the catarrhal germs Wner- ever found, because l have found the tablets equally valuable in catarrh of the throat ana stomach as in nasal catarrh.

Latest Thing in "Cures. ''

The latest fads in complexion cures arc the fruit breakfast cure" and the "ho' milk cure"
 The disciples of the fruit breakfast creed pledge themselves to eat nothing but grapes, apples and oranges before + O o'clock; furthermore to drink no conee tea or other liquid before the noon hour You can eat all the fruit you want.
 The converts to the hot milk cure claim that 1t Is the panacea for all com plexion ills in the guise of wrinkles, sal lowness freckles and all the other beaut! blights that bring sorrow to the soul O woman. They assure you that the face after being washed with hot milk a night feels wonderfully refreshed, while the skin, if the treatment be persisted in begins to look like baby's, soft anC smooth and white. Some of the devotee' of the new cure recommend adding goodly quantity of milk to the bath wa ter, but this is not a new idea by an! means, for in ancient Rome milk bath were a luxury of the time.

HE CHOSE WRONG GIRL
ROBERT MITCHELL ASKS CLERK
 TO CHANGE LICENSE.
Gave Name of One Girl When His Intention Was to Marry An other obliging Clerk
 Rectrifies Mistake.

Here, boss, got the wrong name on this marriage license and will be 'bliged if you will change 1t for me-, said an aged citizen to Bernard Gaston, Chief Clerk in the office of the Judge of Pro- bate yesterday.
 "I wanted to get married, but before the preacher come I happened to think the wrong name was on the paper, he continued.
 Are you sure the girl didn't kick you?' said the clerk.
 "No. sir, boss: truly. I made mistake in the name. I can't marry the girl whose name is on this paper, replied the old fellow as he carefully unwrapped the paper on which was written permission to any minister or Justice of the Peace to unite in the holy bonds Richard Mitch ell and Annie Wyman.
 Well, why did you not bring 1t back before? ?' asked the clerk, as he looked at the document and observed that 1t was dated two weeks ago.
 A bystander suggested that Mitchell had been spending the meantime courting another girl. Robert, though. promptly disclaimed the insinuation that he was a coquette and said he had been far away and only yesterday had returned home Mitchell claims that he owned real estate in Talassee, a small town about forty
  there to sell his property.
 Pending the contemplated entrance into marriage life, Robert practiced economy, and, therefore, counted the cross-ties be- tween the Capital City oS Alabama and the little city of Fillmore County. Count | ing cross-ties is rather monotonous. Rob- ert decided to stop and then concluded | that he would think. Yes, he decided to | think and it was a wise act. It sudden Iy flashed across his mind that he had the wrong name on his marriage license. This worried the old traveller, and he | hastened his steps and soon the lights of | TalIassee came into view. He sold his interest there and returned to Montgom- cry. He hurried to the Probate Office where he told of his mistake. How did you happen to make such a mistake?" asked the clerk.
 Well, 1t jest happened. You sec l be- long to the society and Annie, she also belongs to the society. Annie, you know was taken sick and waited on her, both of us. you know. belonging to the same society. Thinking about her so much when I come for my license I calls out her name, but I don't want to marry that girl. l want my Julia. I will be 'bliged Jedge, if you will change the name in this paper to Julia Reuben"
 "Reuben?" said the clerk. 'I think il anybody is a Reuben, it's you, but l will change it for you"
 Mitchell lives on the Red Bridge Road and is a whitewasher.

 aCut in His Forehead.
 Jim Brown, the engineer on No. 4, Lou isyille and Nashville train for Birming- ham, was struck on the forehead near Lcngview about S:90 o'clock last night and painfully injured.
 The train left Montgomery on time at $40 o'clock. There is only one stop for this train between Montgomery and Bir- minRham, at Calera. When the train came to a standstill at Longview, several miles beyond Calera, the conductor and passenger knew something was wrong. The train crew hurried to the engine and found the engineer badly injured He explained to them that just as the engine was passing near the depot at Longview he was struck on the forehead. He did not know what struck him, whether 1t was a rock which had been thrown in the cab or whether his head came in con- tact with some obstacle by the roadside. A bad gash was cut in his forehead.
 Although painfully injured, Engineer Brown stuck to his post and guided the train into Birmingham. Here his wounds were attended to and from last reports he was-resung we'll .,.,,..x a1.-.,.--
