MAN THOUGHT TO
 BE FRANK DUNCAN
RUMORS REACH HERE FROM HUNTSVILLE THAT THE NOTED MURDERER HAD BEEN CAUGHT, BUT IT IS ALL A HOAX.

A rumor came from Huntsville yester- day afternoon that Frank Duncan had been captured at Newmarket It proved, however, to be another hoax, as told In the following special dispatch to The Age Herald from Huntsville
 "The man who was under arrest at Newmarket this evening proved not to be Frank Duncan, although meeting the murderers description in many respects. After being examined for more than an hour he was released.
 "The Huntsville police had received a warning that man of Duncan's descrip- tion was on the north-bound Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis train this af- ternoon. Chief Overton and three police men found the man and a woman claim ing to be his wife on the train. He said his name was Douglass, but there was not an article about him that could bear out this assertion.
 "The officers accompanied him to New market and held him there to more thor oughly examine him. Frank Duncan was a boarder at the home of Policeman John Smith in 1S9S and MT. Smith became con vinced that the man in their custody was rot Duncan. Douglass evidently had req sons for wishing to get out of Alabama i This incident will not cause the police to relax their vigilance, because they have tip that Duncan is headed this way"

WATER CAUSES ATTEND
 TO BE EXHUMED
Man Buried Alive" Was Lying In Almost Three Inches
 of Water.

Carl Atherio, "the man buried alive" !" was exhumed yesterday afternoon. Athe- no did not ask to be disinterred, because he will not come back to life till Saturday night, but he had to be taken up on &C., count of water in the grave.
 The ground at the corner of Seventeenth street and Second avenue, where the burial took place, is what is known as "filled-in ground" and water seaped into the grave and coffin rapidly. When he was brought to the surface it was found that he had been lying In almost three inches of water. He was perfectly rigid and partly cold with his pulse 5S. Fully 300 people stood around jeering while he was being exhumed, believing the water was an excuse to get him out of the ground But unbelief changed to aston ishment when the crowd saw Atheno taken out by two men, one catching hold of his head and the other his feet. The body was perfectly rigid. His clothing was changed by an undertaken. the coffin and grave dried out and the body again buried.

After 2000 experiments, have learned how to cure Rheumatism. Not to turn bony joints into flesh again. that is inn possible. But I can cure the disease al- ways at any stage, and forever.
 I ask for no money. Simply write me a postal and 1 will send you an order on your nearest druggist for six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure, for every druggist keeps 1t. Use it for a month and if it does what I claim pay your drug gist $550 for 1t. If it doesn't, I will pay him myself.
 have no samples. Any medicine that can affect Rheumatism with but a few doses must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs It is folly to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood.
 My remedy does that, even In the most difficult, obstinate cases. No matter how impossible this seems to you. I know it and I take this risk. I have cured tens of thousands of cases in this way, and my records show that 39 out of 40 who get those six bottles pay, and gladly. l have learned that people in general are honest with g. physician who cures them. That is all I ask. If l fail I don't expect a penny from you.
 Simply write me postal card or letter. Let me send you an order for the medi- cine: also a book. Take it for a month. for it won't harm you anyway. If it cures, pay $5.50. I leave that entirely to you. Address Dr. Shoop. Box 6SO, Racine Wis.
 Mild cases, not chronic. are often cured by one or two bottles. At all druggists.

ImDerialiStiC Talk Is
 One of ROOSeveIt'S Habits

United States Senator H. D. Money of Mississippi spent several hours in Bir- mingham yesterday on his way from Washington to his Greenwood plantation where he intends to remain for week CT ten days, looking after private inter- ests. The senator Is pronounced in his ideas touching all public questions and on no question is his mind more fixed than the future of the Philippines. He is also taking a deep interest in the 18th milan canal question, being a stauncn supporter of Senator Morgan's Nicarauga measure.
 Asked as to the chances for the pas- sage of the Nicaragua bill Senator Money said he was very hopeful that it would be agreed to, although many Republi- cans, he said were in favor of Senator Spooner's amendm ent which provides that the President shall decide whether the Panama or the Nicaragua route be adopted.
 If the President should have the set clement of the question, how would he decide?" was asked.
 Hard to say. I think the President would be inclined to play one route against the other with a view of getting terms that he believed would be most for this country"
 Concerning the Philippines, Senator Money is strongly opposed to the United States holding them. "I want to see the Taft commission withdrawn and brought home" said the Senator. If the FHi- pinos are in a state of insurrection we should have only a military government in the islands. But l believe that if the

MINISTER WooDFoRD NEVER
 DEMANDED INDEPENDENCE.

New York, February 5.-A copy of ex- Senator Chandler's article reviewing the diplomatic incidents which preceded the Spanish-American war was shown to General Stewart L. Woodford, ex-min- ister to Spain. and after reading it he said:
 T never demanded independence. It was absolutely impossible to do so. It would have resulted in my having been ordered away within 24 hours and would have precipitated the war sooner than 1t came I never had any instructions to demand independence. The only thing looking to it was a suggestion of the President for my own guidance I an- swered that the independence of Cuba, under the Spanish constitution, imposs~ ble without prior sanction of the ooftes which was not then in session and would not meet for a month. Thereafter my instructions looked to an armistice.
 'As to the purchase, the thing never was in the remotest way suggested to me by the administration. On my own hook I sounded one or two persons at Madrid and found that as impraeticable as the suggestion of independence. And so I never suggested 1t to the Spanish govern ment. Meantime l did suggest, having clearly in my mind the question of inde- pendence or of cession by sale, an armis- tice during the rainy season, believing that If I could induce Spain to that step then Influences at work during the fol- loiwng six months would make the next step possible, to wit: Either independence or cession to the United States by sale"

Whenever discriminating theatre-goers gaze upon the picturesque scenes of the Aravaipa Valley and Fort Grant in the production of Arizona they are instinc- lively reminded of the black and white sketches of Frederick Remington in the illustrations of his stories of Shutdown La F'leur."

"The Old Homestead"

"The Old Homestead" will be the att traction at the Jefferson Theatre next Friday and Saturday and Saturday mati- nee.
 There is the sentiment of "Auld Lang Syne' and Home Sweet Home" in the announcement of the return of Denman Thompson and his faithful picture of New England farm life, '"rhe Old Homestead" which still ranks as one of the strongest drawing cards on the American stage All the phenomenal successes that have been exploited since its inception have only held sway for awhile, then stopped alto gether, while this meadow-tinted story, true in its delineation of rugged honesty, continues to charm its countless ad- mirers. There seems to be some peculiar magic hidden between its lines with mag netic force sufficient to attract us to 1t every time the chance is offered. and it doubtless will continue to attract and please us as long as Denman Thompson will play his familiar and ever delightful role of Joshua Whitcomb.
 No one who has seen "The Old Home stead' in seasons past or who mayhap see it now for the first time Is at loss to account for it's enduring popularity or for the encomuims which Denman Thompson has received for his inimitable assumption of the dear old Yankee farm CT, with a heart "as big as all out doors." The homely but touching story of the family life of Joshua Whitcomb strikes responsive chord in the hearts of all the atre-goers because of its plain, everyday philosophy, naturalness, purity and truth. To the majority of those who wit Hass 'The Old Homestead'' it does not appeal as play but rather as a story of real life.

HANNA SAYS BIRMINGHAM IS NATURAL CENTER OF MINERAL
 DEVELOPMENT OF AMERICA

Havana, sailngs twice week; to Vene- zuela once in ten days and to Brazil once in two weeks would call for at most about $2,350,O00; while the full service on the Pacific, to Hawaii, the Philippines, China, Japan and the far east generally would amount to but $2,335 GOO. Other ships will of course swell these totals, as the general subsidy is open to all ships exceeding one thousand tons which may be completed and registered after the passage of the act.
 But the utmost expenditure under the act will be a small trihe compared with the vast expansion of our trade and com merce that Is certain to result.
 ''The building of a merchant marine has become absolutely essential to the United States and that Is what the ship-subsidy bill is for-it is to extend American comm cree and commercial prestige and influence; and 1t will result in the training of an army of men to seafaring life, thereby assuring to our men.

 Lester Lonergan MT. Galloway .......... Charles Kennedy Andy ........ ............ Edward O'Connor Colonel Cunningham ......T. c. Hamilton Glen Macdonough's melodrama of the days of 1776 certainly does not lack epi- sodes and incidents of the most stirring sort. It opens with preparations for a duel, and every act brings on the fash ing of swords or the rattle of musketry and in the fourth act comes the booming of a cannon, swabbed out and fired by Molly Pitcher herself. This was at the battle of Monmouth and the whole thing goes on before the audience in a realistic manner. The ground Is literally strewn with the dead, and Molly is the man be- hind the gun, serene as a morning in June. In the last act she Is made a cap tain in the continental army and General Washington sends her his own sword.
 The costumes are very fine, and the dress or the days or the revolution was, as all know, very picturesque. The seen in the fourth act was cleverly managed, presenting as good an idea of battle as perhaps the stage is readily capable of.
 But the play itself lacks consistency and coherence. It is too loose-jointed. Molly Pitcher and Ann Carew, an Eng fish actress lately arrived, both love Captain Darlington of the British army. Ann Carew proceeds at once to plot against Captain Darlington, and, of course, Mollie Pitcher. Captain Caring ton suddenly transfers himself from one flag to the other, and of course he and Molly then pull together. The plot is however. unreal and occasionally is plausible. and the dialogue is at times very tiresome. even stupid.
 Miss Kidder as Molly Pitcher readily gains the sympathy of the audience, and Miss Oliver as Ann Carew brings out the unlovely part assigned to her vividly and artistcally MT. Lonergan as Captain Darlington was applauded freely, and he certainly deserved all he got for his work is conscientious and thorough. The chief and real fault is in the play itself,
