A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the FASTING of repeated
layers of wall paper, one upon another, thus
covering up the filth and germs OF disease
that may be propagated in the very. alb
sorbent and decaying mass of flour paste,
paper, animal glue, %colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent health Of
fcers and sanitarians, urging that such
practice should be stopped by legal enact
these sanitarians recommend Alabastine
as a durable, pure and sanitary coating for
walls.
The Inter Ocean says: This is a very
important question, and, as it costs moth.
ing to avoid this danger, why take any
chances?"
How much of the alarming spread OF
smallpox and other diseases may be due to
unsanitary wall coverings?

WANAMAKER IS
 NOT AT LIBERTY TO TALK

It is probable that Examiner wana- maker will be in the city TOT day or two. Asked if he would remain longer than yesterday he said, T cannot tell anything about my movements. They are regulated by orders from washington that may reach me at any minute"
 Mr. wanamaker says he is not an 'in- spector," as stated in the special, but civil service examiner. He says that he was regularly due in Birmingham yes- terday to conduct the civil service ex- aminations.
 It is well known that there is an arrangement between the President and the Alabama republicans, and some pre- dict that more federal officeholders will be removed while others think differ ently. At any rate the situation is very interesting, and the moves being made on the checker board In republican cir eles are uncertain. The administration does not take kindly to the recent action of the Alabama republicans in eliminat- ing the negro and this dissatisfaction has gwen rise to many rumors, some probably without foundation. while others may have some colorings of truth.

A NEW TEXT. Southern Preacher Gives Food for
 Thought.

Coffee works in many different and un- suspected ways. MT. E. l.. Wesson. pas tor of the Baptist church of Sardis, Miss, writes:-
 q loved coffee from my infancy. and never knew of 1t hurting me until I was 3S years old. I suffered with headaches if forced to do without 1t, and sometimes used 1t three times a day, but headache had been one of the ills of oc~ family, and therefore I thought 1t was an inher- tied evil for which coffee was special remedy, but about nine years ago, I be- gan to suffer from sleeplessness which continued until 1t seemed as if my nerves would wreck for want of sleep. and yet could not sleep.
 A friend suggested that I quit coffee except for breakfast which I did and so found that I could sleep a little better. but my headaches co-.tinued. and my nervous system would sometimes seem as if fhe very flores of my flesh were nov ing within me. I went on until three years ago I began to suffer at night with an itching sensation on my limbs below my knees and on my arms below the elbows, and sometimes all over my body, but there vas no eruption on trs skin; the flesh was smooth and white. consulted several good physicians but with no avail

  cided to stop coffee for a while and try Postum Food Coffee. Wife made 1t ac- cording to directions. so liked 1t equally as well as coffee. had no Idea that 1t would relieve the awful itching deep down in my flesh. but I thought would try 1t to see if there was any virtue in 1t. had used 1t only a few days. when I discovered that the itching was not so se- were. When I had used 1t ten days. my wife said, What is the matter with your You do not seem to be troubled with that itching sensation I told her that I did not know what was the cause, but knew that I was not troubled with the itching any more and was thankful for it.
 then went over to preach in another town and while there drank some strong coffee, and the itching returned. When came back home. I commenced using Postum again, and the itching ceased Then I decided that coffee in some way produced the itching I drank Postum three times a day, and rest as we'll as ever rested. and never have headaches any more believe that hundreds of preachers who suffer from indigestion. nervousness and worry. would find rest and health if they would quit coffee and use PostumSn

FREIGHT TRAIN
 RUNS INTO BOULDER
WHILE COMING FROM ATLANTA TO BIRMINGHAM TRAIN NO. 46 STRIKES A ROCK AND FIREMAN RICHARDSON IS KILLED.

Freight train No. 46, bound from Bir- mingham to Atlanta, ran Into an im- mense boulder which had fallen across the track near Brompton yesterday morn ing about 4:25 o'clock. resulting in the death of Fireman J. l. Richardson of Avondale. and the fatal injuring of a ne- gro tramp whose name Is not known.
 The train was in charge of Conductor w. c. Jackson and Engineer Cawthorn, neither of whom were injured. The lat ters escape from being buried under the wreckage was wonderful to any one who saw the manner in which the cars were piled up on each other and torn to pieces. The engine and six cars were completely wrecked.
 The boulder which caused the wreck was loosened by the heavy rains last night, and feil on the track from the top of the cut. It completely filled the space and delayed the passage of trains until a late hour last night. It required dyna- mite to loosen the earth and rock so that it could be moved. The track was finally cleared about midnight last night and the first train passed. During the day all the Southern trains between Bir- mingham and Atlanta wenth over the Central of Georgia and Southern tracks via Weems and Childersburg.

NEGROES HUNT CLOTHES
 AMONG THE SAKS DEBRIS

ebony hued face would be wreathed in smiles.
 All day the crowd of negroes stood in the vicinity and each one was as anxious and expectant of fortune coming his way as if he was dipping his hand in prize grab bag.
 Louis saks stated last night that he would be doing business again at the same stand within less than two weeks. He will put a temporary roof on the building at once and has written to its owners, and if they consent will add fourth story to 1t.
 It was his option to sell his damaged stock to the insurance companies. He decided that he would not sell any article which he could not guarantee. The damaged stock will be shipped away by the insurance companies to make room for the new goods of Mr. Saks which have been purchased and will begin to arrive shortly.

RAILROAD WORLD.

There Is a clamor on the part of some of the railroad companies for coal. Ihe Central of Georgia and the Seaboard Air Line are particularly pressing in their demands for immediate delivery. The Seaboard had been counting on the West Virginia field for a part of it's supply but that field has been limited and Ala abama operators are now beseiged. There would be no trouble about Alabama sip- plying the seaboard's needs if the cars were only at hand.
 Dunn 6 Lellande Bros, contractors for the construction of the Louisville and Nashville's north Alabama road into the Warrior coal fields of Jefferson county, are organizing their forces ana will begin work within the next few days. The counties through which their new coal line will run is exceedingly rough and the grading will be expensive, but the outlay will prove profitable in the end The road will leave the main line of the Louisville and Nashville at Hughes sid ing, about three miles north of Boyles, and will extend about twenty miles through undeveloped property of the
 
 will pass within two and a half miles of Coalburg and will cross the Southern railway at Linn's. The new road, in- cluding sidings, will cover about twenty four miles. Dunn & Lellande Bros. ex- pect to complete their job in ten months Later on the Louisville and Nashville will add several miles in the way of spur tracks, to the North Alabama. The work already contracted for will neces- sitate an outlay of $700,000, but before President Milton H. Smiths scheme is completed the amount of money expended will exceed three-quarters of a million. Few railroads enterprises in the Bir- mingham district undertaken in recent years, have been so far-reaching in their industrial value as this one. It will re- slht in increasing the royalty and in ex- banding the coal trade. to say nothing of the increased traffic for the Louisville and Nashville. When MT. Smith was in Birmingham few days ago he expressed himself in enthusiastic language over the future value of the North Alabama as developer.
 The following circular was received at the office of the Alabama Great South ern railroad yesterday:
