ceived from him an account of his
adventures after he had separated
from Lewis and Clark's party; one
of these, from it's singularity, I shall
relate. On the arrival Of the party
at the headwaters Of the Missouri,
Golfer, observing al appearance Of
abundance of beaver there, got per-
mission to remain and hunt for some
time, which he did in company with
man by the name of Dixon, who
had traversed the immense tract of
country from St. Louis to the head
waters of the Missouri alone.
"Soon after he separated from
Dixon, and trapped in company with
a hunter named Potts. and aware of
the hostility of the Blackfeet Indians,
one of whom had been killed by
Lewis, they set their traps at night,
and took them up early in the
morning, remaining concealed during
the day. They were examining their
traps early one morning, in creek
about six miles from that br anch
of the Missouri, called Jefferson's
Fork, and were ascending in canoe,
when they suddenly heard great
noise, resembling the trampling Of
animals but they could not ascertain
the fact, as the high, perpendicular
banks OH each side of the river i'm
peded their view. Golfer immedi-
ately pronounced it to be occasioned
by Indians, and advised an instant
retreat; but was accused of cowardice
by Potts, who insisted that the
noise was caused by buffaloes, and
they proceeded on. In few minutes
afterwards their doubts were removed
by party of Indians making their
appearance on both sides of the
creek, to the amount of five or six
hundrel who beckoned them to
come ashore. AS retreat was now
impossible, Golfer turned the head of
the canoe to the shore and at the
moment of it's touching, all Indian

but Golfer, who is remarkably
strong man, Immediately retook it,
and handed it to- Potts, who re-
mained in the canoe, and on re-
ceiving it pushed off into the river.
He had scarcely quilted the shore
when an arrow was shot at him, and

on the folly of attempting to escape,
and urged him to come ashore. In
stead Of complying, he instantly
leveled his rifle at all Indian, and
shot him dead ON the spot. This

Large Audience Enjoys "Les Miser.

It is possible that never before have the cultured people of Montgomery been case at the Montgomery Theatre last night.
 A large audience composed of the most literary and cultivated people of Mont gomery. had the great pleasure & of listen, h,.s !, Hugo's marvellous masterpiece. by pr. Jenkin Lloyd Jones of Chicago. From the clear. forcetul talk of pr. Jones dis tinctiyely, new conception of the great ed by the audience. From the roar of guns and the fana.ical howls of the rev. olutiopists during that lurid, gory drama in the streets of unhappy Paris to peace- full scenes of domestice happiness the word pictures of Hugo were brought out with startling jistinctness under the marvellous tints and dashes of color in fused by the matchless art of Dr. Jones.
 After the conclusion of his delightful lecture an informal reception was held when most of the audience stopped be- hind to meet the man who had given them an evening of such rare pleasure.
 pr. Jones Is minister of the All Souls three weeks in the South to escape the rigors of the Chicago climate. Montgom- erians are greatly indebted to William B. Friedman, editor of The Jewish Chr0ni- pr. Jones came to Montgomery. The distinguished lecturer was introduced by Mir. D. J. Hauseman.
 This morning Dr. Jones leaves for Eir- mingham where he goes in deference to the urgent wishes of the people of that city who. having once heard him, want another of Is lectures.
 He has delivered lectures iu various Southern cities. more recently In De Fun iak Springs and Mobile. He has been in attendance at the Congress- of Liberal Religions, at De Funiak Springs, Fla, he was a leading spirit Of the Liberal Re- ligioMs Congress- at the Worlds Fair

 when Interviewed in regard to the mat ter. Ho Vow said: 'Yes. the Minister that charges are on file and has tele- graphed me to investigate and learn their sources There are number of charges, the greatest stress being laid on the al- nght against exclusion as aggressiveIy as the complainants think I should.
 Another charge Is that am neglect ing my official duties and not protect ing the interests and welfare of my countrymen. We are informed by the Foreign office that the charges bear the imprint of the Six Companies. in- formed the Companies and they at once and that the disclaimer will be forwarded to the Minister and by him to the For eign Office. I am informed that the sig natures and imprint of the Companies are forgeries. It is quite possible that the charges emanated from disgruntled highbnders incensed at the efforts to stop their practices"
 A prominent member of the Six Com the charges comprise twenty-efght ar ticles. One was the charge that a great deal of his time was devoted to his rac- ing stable, and that his jockeys wore the national colors, yellow dragon jacket The royal government will not permit this.
 Then there were other charges of of- fcial and personal misconduct. The charges against the Minister are that he had previously been notified of all this. but had failed to call the Consul to account and in that had shown neg lect of his duties.
 Minister Wu and Consul General Ho Vow are brothers-in-law.

HEBRON JACKSON ACQUITTED
He Killed Ben Lewis, Anothe, Negro.

The jury in the criminal division of the City Court returned a verdict acquitting Heron Jackson of the charge of murder at Il o'clock last night.
 The trial of Jackson consumed the day in Judge Thomas's court. Jackson was arraigned for the killing of another negro named Ben Lewis. The two men were neighbors and fell out over a trivial mat ter. One charged the other with killing two of his pigeons On the morning of the killing the men had a difficulty in which neither were injured. Later In the day the trouble was renewed. Lewis went to the store where Jackson was employed looking for him but did not find him, About dark the two men met on Com merce Street near the Exchange Hotel. Lewis had a stick and witnesses swore that he attacked Jackson who drew a pistol and killed his antagonist Jackson entered a plea of self defense and point ed out that Lewis had gone to the store whero he was at work looking for him 10 renew the trouble and he had, more over. armed himself with a large piece of a rake handle and laid in wait for Jackson until he started home from his work.
 The plea of self defense was in the opinion of the jury sustained and the ac- cused negro was acquitted.

DANGEROUS SURGERY
Should Be the Last Resort.

Many people suffer from piles, because after trying various lotions. salves and ointments without relief or cure, they come to the conclusion that surgical operation is the last resort, and rather than submit to the shock and risk to life of an operation. prefer to suffer on; very often however, the afflicted one is over persuaded to resort to the knife. and even though the operation is apparently suc- oessful, and there is complete recovery from the shock incident thereto, the re- suit is invariably the same; the piles sooner or later return because their cause has not been removed. This result Is a logical one, inasmuch as the knife re- moves the effects of the disease only, while the cause remains as before. There is claimed to be a remedy which does re- move the cause. hence eradicating the disease, and that is the Pyramid Pile Cure; it is in the form of a suppository, is applied directly to the parts affected. and brings about complete cure. quietly and painlessly. In this connection the testimony of MT. John Cullen Bryant, the we'll known bookseller of HaVerbill, Mass. is of unusual interest.
 ''I desire to contribute an unsolicited. but purely voluntary testimonial In favor of Pyramid Pile Cure. l have suffered for more than twenty years with hemor- rhoids, and have consulted numerous phy sicians and expended a great deal of mon- ey for medicines that did me no good. I had often seen Pyramid Pile Cure adver- tised, but hesitated for months before buying same. thinking it a patent or quack remedy that had no merit; but having tried every other remedy pre- scribed l was finally persuaded one year ago. to try Pyramid Pile Cure: l bought a fifty-cent package at the drug store, nd ,.At h. NAa Iftaa no mi flNr cured, the past year has been the only year of my life worth living during the past twenty years. and nothing but the Pyramid remedies have wrought this change. offer this testimony for the benefit of suffering humanity" tu-fri

The Open Door in Trade For Women

Although 1t is now pretty widely recog- nized that the working population Of the United States is divided into about two parts of men and one part of women yet it Is not SO generally known that in almost every line of trade and in every conceivable occupation men must compete with the fair sex.
 women editors in New York and there are several of them. earn comparatively large sala- ries. many of them receiving over S5.ooo a year.
 But 1t is the trades and occupations. where intellectual ability is secondhand that you will find much to surprise you How about wo- man elevator boy?" Though the phrase may be a contradiction in terms. there is neverthe- less the woman ''clevator hoy'' at present em- ployed in the building of the Philadelphia Young Women's Christian Association.
 In New York there half dozen wo- men who wield the paste pot and brush. and very few are the defects to be found in the paperhanging work done by them. Women barbers ply their trade in Philadelphia. New York, Atlantic City and in some of the wes- tern cities. In the West, too. to he found not few women railroad switch tenders, and there has yet to be found an instance where train has met with accident through the inefticiency or carelessness of the fair railroad emrloye.
 In short fin every respectable business the fair sex is now represented. and her efficiency has yet to be questioned. A California life insurance company employs a woman man ager at a salary of Sloooo a year.
