MERCY HOME BOARD
 MAKE EARNEST APPEAL

nation from individuals. But owing to the large number of persons at present in the Home and the increasing expense in maintaining the institution, the Mercy Home board makes an earnest appeal to- day for generous contribution of money.
 The board in it's request for money donation feels that it is only for the pub lie to know the conditions that now con- front the board and immediate efforts will be made to relieve the situation.
 The splendid work of the Home which is accomplished along so many lines makes the institution one to be supported by the city and county, and Birmingham cannot afford to allow this beautiful char ity to suffer for lack of funds to defray its running expenses.
 The object of the Home is one to appeal to all philanthropic persons anu no one who has ever visited the Home can fail to be impressed with the good work that is being accomplished. Only recently a prominent and wealthy Birmingham man visited the institution for the first time and he was so impressed with the work that he gave a generous check to the Home
 In addition to the appeal made in the papers today, the present needs of the Home will be discussed by the different
 
 appeals, it is believed, will result in a generous contribution from all quarters. -><<><-<->-<-~-~-~>-<-<-> Demopolis. At this meeting the delegates to the Federation were elected.

WYETH WON THE DERBY.
Victor Game Cold Owned by John

Chicago, June 23.-Coming with
sweeping stride through the stretch,
the game colt Wyeth won John A.
Drake his first American derby and
upheld the traditions of the race by
the overthrow of the favorites and by
the western horses beating the best
that could be sent from the east. Lu-
Glen Appleby, owned by S. c. Hildreth,
was second, three lengths back, and
finished the same distance in front of
G. G. Benefits Aladdin. The mile and
a half was covered in 2:40 1-5. The
race was cleanly run and truly run,
and Wyeth was the best of the twelve
3-year-olds that lined up at the bar
rier today before Starter Dryer.
Jockey Lucien Lyme was astride the
winner and used good judgment
throughout the race

Won Greatest Aquatic Sporting Victo-
nv in Her History

Poughlleepsie, N. Y, June 23.-Cor-
nell Saturday afternoon won the great
est triumph of her history in boating.
The lthacans literally swept the Hud.
son, winning all three events in the in
tercollegiate regatta, the varsity, the
freshmen and the four cared races. In
each race the crews, coached by
Charlie Courtney, had to fight all the
way from start to finish for victory. In
only one of the three races-the four
cared eyent-did the Ithacans dare at
any time to let down on their speed.
The Wisconsin boys won the second
honors of the day and to them belongs
great credit for the splendid fights
which they made in the varsity and
freshmen races, in both of which
events they finished strong second 70
the Ithacans In all three races Col.
umbia finished third. In the four
cared Pennsylvania was second, but
in the varsity race the Quakers fin
ished in fourth place and in the fresh
men they were fifth. The University
OF Syracuse beat the Quakers out for
fourth place in the freshmen event
and in the varsity Syracuse fought
Georgetown out in the last few
lengths. beating the boys from Wash
ington by less than yard at the fin
ish line. In none of the races were
the records touched, but in all three
events, the time was not far below the
fastest that has been made on this
course.

FAMOUS COOKS OF PARIS.
Genius in the Culinary Art as in Other
Things.

Things.
In recently published book on Gull
mary art DR.. Lemaunier, physician
of Paris, gives several interesting
items regarding well-known chefs.
He mentions the melancholy death of
Trompette, the celebrated cook to the
Duke Of Noailles, who, in a fit of am
bition, deserted his aristocratic master
for the luxurious but plebeian kitchen
of Gambetta. He never forgave him
self this base and sordid action, and
died in a state of melancholy. After;
Trompette comes long list of illus.
trious men who have raised French
cookery to it's well-deserved reputa-
ton.
The Maison Doree gives $4,000 a
year to Casimir Moisson; the Baron de
Mohrenheim had in his kitchen two
brothers, the Fauvets, who never sep
arate; the Duchess of Alba, cousins Of
Empress Eugene, has for her chef
George Bouzon, who was great ia,
vorite Of Napoleon 1T.
The cook of Nicholas II. gets $4,000
year; he is an Alsatian of the name
Of Krantz and enjoyed such privileges
under Alexander ii. that he was al
lowed to carry sword, and, what is
more, to retain his French nationality.
The cook Of the King of the Hellenes
took all his degrees in the university,
but in 1858, carried away by his love
of the art, he entered as cook in the
Comte de Chambord's house, whence
he passed into the kitchen Of the
Duchess Of Parma, the mother of the
Princess of Bulgaria; and now he
caters for the palates of the royal FAM
lily of Greece.
Chevalier.. who learned his art at
the Jockey Club, under the celebrated
Jules Gouffe, began his career in the
royal house Of Sweden and is now
with that of Roumania.

CONFERENCE OF NO AVAIL
REPUBLICAN, SENATORS HAVE
NOT REACHED AGREEMENT.
Senators Burton and Burrows the Only
Speakers Against Reciprocity
With Cuba

With Cuba.
Washington, June 21.-The repub-
lican senators held another conference
yesterday on the question OF Cuban re-
ciprocity, and after three hours dis
cussion adjourned, subject to the call
OF Chairman Allison, without action.
Almost all the republican senators
who are in the city were present.
There were eight or nine speeches
made in support of reciprocity and
only two in opposition to that policy.
This was in accord with a previous
understanding that as the peet sugar
senators had monopolized the atten-
ton of the conference on Wednesday
night, their opponents yesterday should
have the greater share of the time.
The speeches in support of the reci-
procity bill were made by Senators
Foraker, Beveridge, Lodge, Hale, War
rem, Aldrich, McComas and Hanna,
Senator Platt of Connecticut adding a
few words to what he had said at the
Wednesday evening meeting The two
speeches in opposition to the pro-
posed legislation were made by SEN
ators Burton and Burrows. The
speeches for reciprocity were all along
the same general line and without
exception were pleas for legislation
and for party harmony.

A word Of command and the giant
guards closed In around the prisoners.
Sir Nocl still stood by Paul, and even
saw this significant move without
showing the white feather,
He put his hand to his pocket and
drew out folded paper.
The countess, seeing the action, felt
that there was danger Of defeat even
though she could not guess the nature
Of the bolt that threatened.
How deliberately Sir Noel unfolded
his paper.
"Ah! monsieur lie major" he said.
The stout soldier, not daring to look
toward the countess, turned his head.
At sight of the paper his eyebrows
went up in token of surprise.
Then he met the doctors magnetic
eye, and was obliged to pay attention,
the influence of mind over matter ia
always paramount.

sued Sir Noel, waving the paper.

II am honored, monsieur" bowling
and taking the paper, while the coun-
tess glided nearer, the look Of awful
determination still upon her face.
Paul believed it wise to keep one eye
on her, not knowing what desperate
woman might attempt when brought
to bay.
And somehow he had presentiment
that, while it looked as though this
might be Aimee's game, there was
setback in store for her that would end
in her overwhelming defeat.
AS the major read the document she
looked surprised, even puzzled

Paul breathed easier.
He had heard the magic words and
comprehended the nature of the mir
acles that had been wrought in his be-
half, thanks to the coming of the Eng
lishman.
"You have no reason to doubt the
genuineness of the document, major?"
pursued Sir Noel, with the convincing
manner Of lawyer.
"None at ALL would be willing to
stake my life upon that" came the
reply.
"Fool, fool, don't you see the trap?"
cried the countess, firmly.
But Sir Noel was appealing to all
that was best in the majors compost
