She Would Not be
Without 1t Now.

Neither would thousands of others. We
refer to Vogeer's Curative Compound; it
does so much good and seems to reach
every form of stomach trouble, that people
nave fouad that it is the one true specific.
And what are stomach troubles? The easiest
answer is that three-quarters of all the dis
eases and ailments which affect US proceed
from one form or another of stomach
trouble.
Indigestion is ore of the worst and most
prevalent forms, but Nogeler's Curative
Compound cures indigestion. Here is one
instance:
Mr.. w. Bowel, of "a, Priory Street, Win
chester, Col, writes: l wish TO state that
my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative
Compound for long time, and it is the
only thing that has done her any real gcoe
for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce
her to be without bottle now"
When We stop TO seriously consider the
fact, that this great remedy is made from
the formula of one of the most eminent living
.ondon physicians, it is no wonder that
people who have happily experienced the
benefit to be derived from its use, will no,
now be without it at any cost.

WARM DISCUSSION
IN THE SENATE
Spirited Debate Over Philip.
pine Affairs in the Up
per House.
QUESTION OF HUMANITY
Beveridse Declares American Sci
dlers Have Displayed Remark
eh.o Self Restraint and
Kindness.

Washington, May S.-For almost four
hours yesterday a fierce discussion of
the Philippine situation ragged In the
senate Ii WAS started by Senator Bev-
eridSe of Indiana. who made some
sharp structures on the members of the
opposition, because, as he said, they
persisted in telling in their speeches
only one side of the story. While he
admitted that some outrages had been
committed by American soldiers In the
Philippines, it was true. too that UNI
paralleled kindness has been shown by
the American troops to Filipino pris-
cners and Filipino wounded. Food and
medicine, he said, had been shared
With them, and they had been succored
On the battle field and cared for tender
ly in the hospital.
While saying that the omission to tell
this side of the story by the democrats
WAS unntentional, he suggested that it
WAS unfair To make an arraignnent of
the American soldier and not tell both
sides.
Senator Carmack and Senator Raw :
Inns warmly resented any iinputation of
| unfairness Senator Rawins declared
that no partisan motives had actuated
the opponents of the present Philip
pine policy, but that they We're moved
only by patriotism and love of country.
Senator Turner of Washington de-
livered scathing criticism of the
methods exercised by the military au-
thorities in the Philippines, dwelling
particularly upon the alleged order of
General Smith, whom he denounced as
monster in human form. He urged
| the Philippine committee to turn all the
| light possible on the Philippine ques-
| ton. to the end that the people might
be fully Informed on the situation.
| Senator Hoar of Massachusetts brief
| ly defended the action of the Philip
| pine committee saving that already it
| had furnished much valuable informa-
ton. Re urged that the committee In
all justice should call some prominent
| Filipinos to testify I'm their own behalf.
| The Joint resolution making an addi-
tional appropriation OF 10000 for the
| dedication of the statue of De Rocham-
| beau, to he unveiled in the city of
| Washington Was passed. At the con-
clusion of routine business the calendar

ures ninety bills being passed.

YOUNG vAhDERslLrs TAXES.
Tho Eager Young Man Pays Twenty
Times Amount Local Due.

New York Herald: After proving to
the satisfaction of the tax board that
he was liable to assessment upon sll,
900. instead of $l0O0,0O0, in personal
property, Reginald c. Vanderbilt,
youngest son of the late Cornelius Van
derbilt, on Friday voluntarily had him
self assessed at Sa50,oC0 just to show
that he had no desire to evade any of
the responsibilities attached to the
holding of great wealth.
Mr.. Commissioner Mir. Vanderbilt
began II was 81 years old on Deceln-
Ter 10 last. At that time ] received ii
part of my share of my fathers estate.
but not all of it,
After advising with counsel / fnd
that my assessment of 81 .009.GG0 on per-
sonalty is far to ohigh, and that in fact
am liable for taxation on only $ll,-
600. This is accountable by the fact
that many of my securities are nom
essentials for local purposes"
Then Mr. Vanderbilt told the tax
commissioner what Stocks and bonds
he owned, and the commissioner, af-
ter computing tfsm acknowledged
that his visitor was entitled 10 the re-
mission of SSS9,C00 of his assessment
and told him so. Mr.. Vanderbilt APP
peared 10 be pleased that the tax com
missioner should have so promptly CO.
incided with his own Views. Then, to
the surprise of the commissioner, he
continued:
Il am aware of the Responsibilities
attached to the holders of great wealth
and i WILL therefore, consent to have
you p!ae6 my personal assessment at
| $a50,000 and shall gladly pay taxes upon
| that amount.
This announcements which has had
| local taxing authorities. astomshed MIR
| Gillespie, who has frequently seen men
| of great wealth swear off, With
equanimity every cent of their personal
| assessments. After a moments pause
he turned to Mr.. Vanderbilt and cN-
claimed with warmth:
Il want toscongra tulate you, sir. You
have shown the right spirit. | wish
| there We're more like YOU"
MIR. Vanderbilt flushed and simply
remarked. You're Very kind. " and
then, With his companion, took his
| leave.
The estate of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
which comprises trust funds for the
| benefit of his widow and children, is
| assessed at SS 0o0,eoo OF this estate no
| small part will eventually come tn
| Reginald Vanderbilt. who is, conse-
1 quently paving taxes largely In excess
of the amount Individually assessed
against him.
This years tax rate will probably
| equal that of last year, which was S2.3l
ON each 500 of valuation. Al that
rate Mr.. Vanderbilt will pay s5.l,5 IN
taxes for personal property alone.

NEGRO HAS STOLEN
 1000 CHICKENS
CHARLES JACKSON, TERROR TO SUBURBAN HEN ROOSTS-LOST AN EYE DURING ONE OF HIS MIDNIGHT RAIDS.

Over 1000 chickens stolen in Blrming- ham and vicinity in the past few weeks Is the record of Charles Jackson, ne gro, for whom the police are looking. Andrew Jackson, another negro, and confederate of Charles, is in the "dol house." He was arrested Monday morn ing at Woodlawn by Marshal Sandifer.
 Charles Is supposed to be the negro who has stolen about 800 chickens in Shades Valley, about 300 in North Highlands and other parts of Birmingham, and about 200 to 300 in Woodlawn and vicinity. Several nights ago he got S3 from one block in Woodl1wn. Sunday night he carried away 13 of. the finest to be found.
 He had a portion of his face shot off some time ago while stealing chickens. Cf arles lost an eye but has not lost his boldness for the chicken roost. He has served a term In Coalburg.
 The good people of Woodlawn have formed vigilance committees to watch their hen roosts, ard say they will make it lot for the next negro they catch.

JUDGE FEAGIN
 SAVES WIDOWS SON
JOHN LATHAM, CHARGED WITH STEALING WATCH, SENTENCED TO SPEND THREE YEARS ON FARM OF AN UNCLE.

Judge Feagin yesterday rendered ono of the most peculiar decisions ever made in a court in Birmingham. It was in the case of John Latham, the young white boy charged with larceny of q watch from S. S. Goodbee who Is a boarder in the house of the boys mother.
 Latham pleaded guilty and on account of his youth and his mother being c widow Judge Feagin would not send him to Jail, as he could have done, but agreed to allow him to go to his uncle's farm near Columbus Ga., and work there three years, or until he Is 21 years old.
 Should young Latham come to Brming- ham during the three years he will be re-arrested and tried on charge of grand larceny. Judge F'eagln said yes- terday afternoon that he made the dec, sion chiefly on account of the boy s mother being widow. He says the boy has been troublesome in the past and that if he were sent to the penitentiary he would probably never reform.
 Several days ago MT. Goodbee left his watch on the table in his room while at breakfast and when he returned the watch was missing. Shortly after that a friend of young Lathams was arrest ed while trying to pawn the watch. He said Latham gave it to am, and Latham was arrested.
 Latham made an attempt to escape from police headquarters and gave Po- liceman Richardson a chase to Ninth avenue and Nineteenth street.

TO 60 BEFORE THE
 POLICE BOARD
TRADES' COUNCIL WILL PUSH CAMPAIGN FOR ElGHT-HOUR DAY IN POLICE DEPARTMENT. WOULD REQUIRE MORE MEN.

At the next meeting of the police com Council will petition that body to change the hours of duty for policemen from twelve to eight.
 The matter has been mentioned several times by Chief Austin in his annual re- ports and will be one of the principal recommendations in the forthcoming re- port which he will submit at the next meeting of the commission.
 To make three shifts instead of two it is claimed fifteen or twenty more po- licemen will be required With three shifts the first would go to work at 10 o'clock at night and work until o'clock in the morning. The second shift would work from o'clock until o'clock in the afternoon and the third shift from 2 o'clock until 10 at night.
 The shift from o'clock in the morn ing to o'clock in the afternoon would be the smallest in point of numbers. Should the change be made fifteen men will be on this shift and 24 on each of the other shifts.
 The policemen are all in favor of the eight-hour shift. Their opinions were asked before the Trades Council took any steps in the matter
 One of the advantages claimed for the eight-hour shift is that It will allow a reserve force constantly at police headquarters.
