WIPES INGENUITY Saves Her Husband.

The author of the Regeneration of Dorothy" MT. Franklin Kinsella, 226 w. 18th street. New York City, was the vic- tim of a little by-play-buI he can best tell the story himself. "I must confess that I have been the victim of an inno- cent deception which turned out all for the best. however.
 ''I had been resting under the belief, for some years, that coffee served as a lubricant to my cerebral conyolutions in other words. made the wheels go round, and I had an idea that l could not work without it as a stimulant.
 q soon paid the penalty fa nervous ness, loss of flesh, insomnia and restless ness. none of which troubles would yield to any or all medicines. I finally got in rather a bad way and my wife took a hand in the affair all unknown to me. She purchased a package of Postum Coffee and first gave me one half Postum and one half coffee In a little time she had me down to clear Postum, and I was none the wiser
 I noticed that I was getting better, my nerves were steader. and I began to gain flesh and sleep nights. My work was performed far better than in my old condition.
 Commenting upon my greatly improv- ed health one morning, I was told the truth. 'Tis to laugh so I submitted gracefully and joined the Postum ranks.

the consideration being a royalty or SIX cents a ton, they agreeing to pay s67zU per annum as a minimum whether coai was mined or not.
 The other lease was made by Charleton G. Smith and others May 15, 1895 the property being in township A in Blob county. Under this lease the royalty was five and a half cents with minimum guaranteed of $50OO per annum.
 The bill states that shortly thereafter the Bessemer Land ana improvement Company opened a coal mine on said property and since then has mined 5000, 900 tons up to the present time and has received $3000,000 therefor no part or which has been paid over to complainant. After deducting the operating expenses complainant claims that his share in the profits amounts to $10O,0oo.
 He alleges that he has made demand for his share of the profits but that ths defendant his tenant in common has re- fused to account. He prays that the court will require an accounting and af- ter deducting all proper necessary op- erating expenditures that defendant be or dered to pay him his share of the pro- fits.
 The property in question is the Belle Ellen mines which Is regarded as among the most valuable in the state. The qual- ity of the coal mined is excellent.

 NEW RUBBER TIRE PLANT.
Birmingham Arms Company Will Ba Equipped to Do High-cIass Work.

The Birmingham Arms & Cycle Com pany have this week made arrangements with one of the largest rubber factories In the United States for a complete and fully equipped rubber tire plant to put rubber tires on vehicles.
 This is an industry, that has never be- fore been attempted in Birmingham. but the Arms people realized the necessity of a thoroughly equipped plant and have gone in 1t on a larger scale than ever attempted in the south before. They will carry a large stock of rubber on hand all theAtime, not only to supply the Bir- mingham trade, but the entire southeast.
 This will put them in a position to give the lowest possible prices on re-rub- bering vehicles and do the work that can be guaranteed both as to staying on the wheels and to the wearing qualities of the rubber.
 They have closed a contract with concern that manufactures what they have reason to believe Is the best tire on the market. as they have had options on all the popular lines manufactured.
 There has been an expert nere from the factory for the past week getting the plant in perfect running order so that there will be no hitch or delay in the work.
 All their work will be gotten out promptly and first class. You will find 1t very interesting to call around at the store and go through this department just to see how the rubber is put on car riages.
 You are welcome at any time to take look and get any information you de- sire both as to prices and work done.

Giant Monopoly Formed to PeTpetuatG Unreasonable Prices
 for Public Service
LOBBY IN THE LEGISLATURE
Trust, He Says, Is Known as the Sher- ifs and Clerks Association-He Quotes From the New
 Constitution.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The hollow pretense of the office-holders of Alabama that they were and are op- posed to trusts has been so clearly ana palpably exposed by certain provisions which they had inserted in the new Con- stitution that if 1t were not a serio"< matter for the public, 1t would be ludi rous
 A trust" in the popular acceptance of the term is a combination or association the purpose of increasing or controlling unduly or unreasonably the cost of arti- cles of necessity, trade or commerce, and every stump in Alabama has resounded to the denunciation of these monsters by the politicians. The newspapers have full minated against them in terms more wig orous than choice.
 The new Constitution denounces them. Section 103 is as follows:
 "The Legislature shall provide by law for the regulation, prohibition, or reason- able restraint of common carriers. part nerships, associations, trusts, monopolies and combinations of capital, so as to pre- vent them or any of them from making scarce articles of necessity, trade or com merce, or from increasing unreasonably the cost thereof to the consumer, or pre- venting unreasonable competition in any calling, trade or business" All this, you will observe, Is directed against combinations of capital.

MECHANICS LIEN
 LAW IS INVOLVED
CHANCELLOR CARMICHAEL DE- clDEs OWNER MUST HAVE COPY OF BILL BEFORE SUB-coNTRAc- TORS LIEN IS EFFECTIVE.

Chancellor Carmichael of the Chancery Court has rendered a decision construing the new mechanics lien law for Jefferson County passed by the last Legislature. The chancellor holds that the owner of the premises must have a copy of the bill for work or services rendered on his property before the lien of sub-con- tractor can become effective.
 The decree was rendered in the case of Hopkins & Householder vs. E. H. King and J. c. Myers. The suit was brought to enforce a mechanics lien on a build ing of which Mrs. J. c. Myers was own CT. She made a contract with E. H. King for certain repairs who sub-contracted with Hopkins & Householder to do the work. No notice was given that the sub contract had been made and when the sub-contractors brought suit to. enforce their claim a demurrer was filed and i notice was given. -ar
 "No man." says the chancellor in rem dering his opinion, "can be deprived of his property without his consent or by due process of law. The basis of the right to enforce claim as lien against property is the consent of the owner, and 1t is upon this principle alone that laws giving liens to sub-contractors are sus- tained. The contract of, the owner with the contractor is under the law the evil dence of the authority of the latter to charge the property with liabilities incur red by him in performing his contract. If the original contractor can charge property with liens by making contracts with various persons, and these contracts are not disclosed to the owner, and the owner Is not cognizant of the terms of same until after the completion of the work, and perhaps not until after he has paid the original contractor, 1t would appear that 1t would be taking the own CTS property without his consent and without due process The law setting forth how a sub-contractor is to proceed in order to be entitled to a lien Is pre- scented. requiring that notice be given and the terms of the contract stated to the owner'

BREWERY TROUBLE
 SOON TO BE ENDED
AMERICAN FEDERATION GIVES CINCINNATI MEN LIMITED TIME 
 CHARTER REVOKED.

From the Cincinnati Tim es-Star. The brewery lockout may be brought to ap abrupt end by concessions on the part of the brewery workmen as de- manded by the brewers and stationary engineers. The preliminaries are already under way and are the result of the meet ng of the entire committee of the Ma tional Association of United Brewery Workmen, who are in session here. The expected decision of the Executive Coun- cil of the American Federation of Labor, of which President Sampel Gompers is chairman, is looked for with much in terest by the brewers of this section and the stationary engineers and firemen in- volved in the present labor conflict with the brewery workers. The decision is ex- pected to touch upon the conditions that exist here and will be based upon the res olution adopted at the national conven- tion at Scranton, Pa., last December The convention adjourned December IA The resolution, which was concurred in. provides that within ninety days from the end of the convention the brewery workers transfer back to the engineers union any member whom they may have induced to leave for the purpose of join- ing the engineers union which they were trying to organize. The ninety days will be up next Thursday. Failure on the part of the brewery workers to recognize the action lays them liable to having their charter revoked.
 Resolution TO, twenty-first annual con- yention A. F. L., at Scraton, Pa, De cember 5 to IA inclusive:
 Whereas, At the Louisville convention Jurisdiction was apparently given to the National Brewery Workers Union, under certain conditions, over engineers, fire men and teamsters working around brew cries; and
 Whereas, The conditions therein implied were grossly violated by the Brewery Workers National Union; and,
 Whereas, Said violations of said im- piled terms have tended to disintegrate the Engineers, Firemen's and Team Drivers Unions therefore, be 1t
 Resolved That the National Union of United Brewery Workers be and are hereby instructed by this convention to at once cease chartering engineers, firemen and team drivers, and to transfer the members taken by them from the En- ;ineers', Firemens and Team Drivers ,ack to their respective unions within oeriod of ninety days from the adjourn lent of this convention.
 In view of the serious complications yhich exist at the present time, and

have existed for years past between ths United Brewery workmen, engineers, f1remen. coopers and teamsters, entailina disastrous results, tending toward the disruption of the five organizations in. volved, the Grievance committee recon. mends that this convention give absolute authority to the incoming executive coun. ell to settle this dispute on the Enei laid down by the adoption of the find. ings and recommendations adopted by ths Louisville convention referring to the subject, said dispute to be adjusted with. in 90 days. The organization or organiza, tions failing to accept the decision of ths executive council shall be disciplined to the extent of having their charter re. voked by the American Federation oi Labor, and the committee earnestly rec. ommends that all hostilities cease, in or. der that the executive. council may bet
 ter take up this serious question and tho interests of the parties involved be con
 served. sss

;AY LEGISLATURE
 IS POWERLESS TO ACT.

Do you know what is contended for by the present recipients of fees and sal aries?
 ! That by virtue of this provision the Legislature is powerless to correct or even modify existing abuses in this coun- ty. That the officials are in citadel created by the new Constitution, so inn pregnable that they may laugh with inn punity at the feeble efforts of the people to affect either fees, salaries or compen- sation, and that for another four years at least they may rior in the fat fees without molestation. Their claim is not without foundation, but the people need not be without hope.
 To show how it is claimed it will work I will only state a few cases. At the last session of the Legislature that body, at the behest of the Jefferson County dele gation. with the exception or one mem Der, without excuse or justification, made the County Treasurer a present of 5000 a year in addition to the $2500 year he was receiving and which was more than the State Treasurer was paid.
 It is now claimed that this inexcusable increase of salary cannot De affected by the Legislature. If this be conceded, the case is by no means hopeless, for only have to elect the right sort of delegation to the next Legislature to correct the proper business basis.
 This illustrates but one phase of tho possibilities of this innocent looking littlr section.
