The second set was much like the
first. Hobart hammered the ball from
the base line and worked hard 20 kill it,
but Doherty was always on the snot.
The Englishman made very few errors,
and his choppy returns made it hard
for Hobart to do much with the ball.
Occasionally Doherty ran In. bre Ho-
bart passed him good dscl when he did,
and the Englishman confined himself 20
back court play most of the time. After
losing the first game the Britisher won
four in quick succession. and Hobart

The third set was a remarkable one.
Hobart had everything his own way at

These remedies are combined in lozenge form, pleasant to take, and will preserve their good qualities indefinitely, whereas all liquid medicines JApidly lose what over good qualities they may have had as soon as uncorked and exposed to the air
 This preparation is called Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets and 1t Is claimed that one of these tablets or Iozenges will digest from 300 to 3,o0o times it's own weight of meat, eggs and other wholesome food. And this claim has been proven by actual experiments in the following manner: A hard boiled egg cut into small pieces was placed in bottle containing warm water heated to ninety-eight degrees Cor blood heat), one of these Tablets was then placed in the bottle and the proper tenn perature maintained for three hours and a half. at the end of which time the egg was as completely ,digested as 1t would have been in a healthy stomach. This experiment. was undertaken to demon- strate that what it would do in the bottle 1t would also do in the stomach, hence it's unquestionable value in the cure of dys- pepsia and weak digestion. Very few people are free from some form of tndi- gestion but scarcely two will have the same symptoms. Some will suffer most from distress after eating. bloating from gas Tn the stomach and bowels, others have acid dyspepsia or heartburn, others palpitation or headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades extreme nervousness as in nervous dys- D psia. but they all have same cause failure to properly digest what is eaten The stomach must have rest and assist ance and Stuarts DyspSpsia Tablets give 1t both. by digesting the food for 1t and In short time it Is restored to its normal action and vigor At same time the Tab lets are go harmless that a Child can take them with benefit. This new prepa- ration has already made many astonish- ing cures. as for instance. the following:
 After using only one package of Stuart 8 Dyspepsia Tablets I have received such great and unexpected benefit that wisIf to express my sincere gratitude. In fact 1t has been six months since I took the package and have not had one particle of distress or difficulty since. And all this in the face of the fact that the best doctors I consulted told me my case was Chronic Dyspepsia and absolutely incur able as I had suffered twenty-five years. distributed half a dozen packages among my friends here who are very anxious to try this remedy.

Birmingham. Feb, s.-tSpecial)-An
 houncen.ent is made that several of the furnaces in this distIict have withdrawn from the iron market on account Of ths heavy demand for iron. It is stated that these furnaces withdrawn have sold ahead more iron than they can make for tome months, hence their withdrawal from the market for some time. Mir. !. ". Mcqueen. Secretary y-Treasurer of the 6Ioss- She fieid Steel and Iron Company. has returned from q trip to Ohio and re- ports that the demand for pig iron ts strong and the quotations firm. While there have been no changes made in the published quotations during the past week, selling agents have been given in- timatton that prices are looking up and are very strong. The statement is fur tfer made that an advance of 50 cents is being given for imme date delivery iron. The production, though increased during the past week by the blowing in Of two furnaces, is not any greater than the demand. Thefe Is such demand for finished iron and steel that all the de- partnents at the rolling mills are work ing on double turn and in some of the de- partments a thi. d turn is working. The lack of hands keeps other departments from working three turns every twenty four hours.

PAIN FROM SEVERED FINGER.
Whsn Member Was Exhumed and Strengthened Patient Got Wen.

hubSeHVlIIe, Feps &-tSpecla1-Seve weeks ago James Strange. assistant yard master for the Northern Alabama Rail- way Company, was caught between the cars and his arm was R0 badly crushed that amputation was found necessary. The operation was successfully perform ed and the patient was thought to be getting along all right, but day or two after the operation he began to complain that the hand that had been cut oft was hurting him.
 He stated to the surgeon for the rail- way company who had performed the amputation. that the httle finger of the severed hand was doubled up under the third finger and that the flesh in the pushed over, the end of that finger.
 An effort was made to quiet the pa- tient. but his suffering became more acute from day to day and the physi- clans in charge found that 1t was neces- sary to do something or the patient would die.
 Accordingly 1t was agreed by the sur geon, w. J. James. the County Solicitor. J. R. Barnett. and other prominent ctta- zcns of the town that they should go to the cemetery the next morning, at o'clock. and exhume the arm to see if there was anything in the contention of the patient.
 Nine o'clock in the morning was the hour set at which the parties were to meet at the Knights of Pythias cemetery and disinter the arm. For some reason all of them could not get together at in the morning, but before that after noon the surgeon, Mir. James. Mir. Far nett and eight or ten others as good and reliable citizens as there are in RussellvilIe, met at the cemetery and dung up the amputated member.
 When the box was opened the hand was found in exactly the same position as MT. Strange had said 1t was. The little finger was doubled under the third finger with the top of the box pressing on it and the flesh was torn and pressed over the end of the third finger. After strengthening out the hand the men repaired to the home of the pa- tent to ascertain what effect it had had on him. They found Mir. Strange sitting quietly and suffering no pain. The sur gson asked him If relief came me at l which Strange had been told the box
 would be. openedl. He said that t d d:d not but that his pain ceased at 1:4S 0he hour at which the box was actually l opened). and reliable, citizens as there are in RuRsellVtlle.
