West 1O4th street. on Theodore Roose-
welt and the Trusts" He said in part:
AT a recent banquet President Roose-
which he has yet uttered in regard to
the trusts. In that speech he said: 1t
is idle to tell this people that we have
not the power to solve such problem
as that of exercising adequate supervis-
ion over the great industrial combina-
tions of today. We have the power, and
we shall find the way There is a true
note of coura ge in that and a cartain
ring to il that sounds like business. 1t
reminds one of the time when the young
slepherd. l2d David came over the hills
to the army of Saul
Every day that Goliath came forth
with his challenge and strobe UP and
down before TIE army of Saul he be-
came more blasDhemous and defiant. 1t
IS the same wav with the trust giant.
Every day that he is LEFT to work his
will he is becoming more insolent and
more oppressive. The army of Saul was
not more cowardly, nor more trembling
lv helpless before Goliath than the
American las been before the trusts.
1T is a time for every man who hates
the trusts to speak out. No nation ever
faced greater danger. If Theodore

FOUGHT CONSTABLE
A. D. FABRITIs OPPOSES LEVY
 ON PEANUTS.
Constable Tom Donaldson Has Try ing Time in Making 8 Levy at Fabritis's Fruit
 Stand.

Some sacks of peanuts Justice of the Peace execution, Constable Tom Donald son andA. D. Fabritis, caused consider able disturbance on lower Commerce Street yesterday afterno51 at 2 o'clock
 Donaldson, constable, held an execution on Fabritis, fruit merchant, for s owed by him to physician for medical ser vice. The constable went to the fruit stand of Fabritis on Commerce Street yesterday afternoon to levy on the prop erty of Fabritis in payment of the debt
 Fabritis is an Italian. By experience in mary law cases both civil and criminal he is not altogether ignorant of Ala bsma law. Through this information, he krows that the property of his wife can- not be levied on for the debts of the husband.
 The constable approached the fruit stand. Fabritis watched him warily. The constable walked up to him, execution in hand. The execution was displayed Fabritis bowed his acknowledgements. Dona ldson advanced toward the peanut roaster. His hands toyed with bag of groundpeas. Fabritis saw this action. His time had come. "Stcppa," he yelped don't toucha my wife's peanut" Donaldson turned:
 Are these peanuts the property of your spouse?" he asked. Fabritis's reply was affirmative. Donaldson observed that Fabritis was side-stepping from the truth. He seized three bags of peanuts and Fabritis seized him.
 "Conspicuez el Tomas Danoldson," was the battle-cry of the irate descendant of the Horatii and Curati. Great Julius never fought more effectively. He grab bed the constable from behind and pin toned his arms. A member of the Fa- britis family entered the arena and in a few seconds there was a miX-up that would have made Neros heart leap. The constable fought well. He talked to his combatants in good American. Fabritis did business in Italian. Donaldson was clawed and biffed and banged scientih- cally for a few minutes and he him. self struck blows worthy of the ancient Catfish invaders of Rome.
 The policeman on the Commerce Street beat was at dinner, and the fight gave promise to be of indefinite length. had not a husky looking passerby jumped in the fray and acted as peacemaker through the agency of his steel-like mus cles
 On being separated, Donaldson went up the street for repairs, and Fabritis. his edunaminity undisturbed, sold the pea- nuts to interested spectators.
 No arrests were made.

Beautiful and Impressive Serv1ces
 Held Sunday Afternoon. Huntsville Mercury.
 The funeral of Mrs. R. Barnwen Rhett was conducted from the church by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Canister. The interment was in the family lot in the Maple Hlli Cemetery. The church was filled Witn sorrowing friends and offerings or now CTS were especially noticeable both TOT number and for beauty-a tribute parttc- ularly appropriate in view of Mrs, Rhett's well known love of flowers and her greater love of giving comfort to stricken hearts with these emblems of immortality.
 The beautiful service was doubly im- pressive to those who remembered that the venerable rector had been, for more than a third of a century, Mrs. Rhett s pastor and faithful friend, to whom she was sincerely attached.
 The music at the church and at the grave was beautiful and was effectively rendered. At the church the choir sang the hymn beginning
 Art thou weary, art thou languid,
 Art thou sore distressed?
 Come to me, saith One, and coming,
 Be at rest"
 At the grave the hymns were: Jesus. Savior of My Soul' and Abide With Me"
 The honorary pallbearers were: w. w. Garth, William Richardson. Daniel Cole man. W. H. Echols. O. B. Patton and Charles McCalley. The active palfbea"- CTS were James R. Stevens, Jr., H. B. Thomas, D. I. White, Sr., R. W. Walker, W. J. Mastin, A. l.. Rison, James Ali son and J. P. Matthews.
 And so, with the beautiful and impress sive service of the church, representing all that many generations of wise and good men have thought most fit to be done and to be said when we part finally from our dead: amid the tears of family and of friends and the regrets of an entire community, was laid to rest one who was representative in life and in character of all that was best and most attractive, in the old Southern life.
 Probably the old South had no more beautiful daughter, nor any more highly educated and accomplished. To the last Mrs. Rhett was faithful to all the tra- ditions and obligations of the refined, cul- tured and noble womanhood of the best days of the South. Her illness was of almost unparalleled duration and sever ity. Her gentle but fearless spirit and lofty mind seemed almost independent of frail and suffering body. To the last her mind was clear, her patience unfaiI- ing, her fortitude invincible, and she welcomed death as a release from suffer- ing and the entrance into eternal life
