 Mir. Richardson, the minority leader, sought to meet this dem mand with a prop osition to recommit. but the speaker held that a motion to recommit would not be in order until after the bill had been formally read by title a third time.

 Tt would not" replied the speaker

(1il in Alabama.

W. s. Duckworth in the Nashville American Is confident that if oil be found in profitable quantities in north Alabama it will be found deep in the earth. About ten years ago MT. Duck worth bored a well in Lauderdale County, passing through 15 feet of devonian. 200 feet of upper silurian, and $50 feet of lower silurian. He reached the trenton at 1915 feet, which he found to be AT feet thick. Nothing of value was found in the well. He sunk a second well, in which in the trenton a slight show of oil was dis covered.
 The trenton in north Alabama has a hard cap, and the rock itself is light gray in color, and blue lick water is invariably present. It lies about 1900 feet below the surface There are no Gordon sands in Alabama or in Ten nessee. Mir. Duckworth tells all drill CTS that oil certainly cannot be found in paying quantities in Tennessee or north Alabama except in the lower silurian. All wells in the Kentucky Tennessee fields reached those rocks. Whoever drills for oil in Alabama should therefore expect to send the drill down at least 1900 feet.

FRANCE WILL ACT.
Venezuela In Refusing Secrestat's Re.
 quest to Land May Have Trouble.

Willemstad, Island of Curacoa, January 24.-In spite of the protests made by the French consul here, President Castro has authorities at Laguayra, who refused tc permit M. Secrestat, Jr., of Bordeaux, all though the government had previously assured the consul that the traveller might debark.
 It is held by the authorities that while the French line steamer St. Laurent, on which M. Secrestat was passenger, was at Fort De France. Island of Martinique, or at the Island of Trinidad, he conferred with General Mates, the revolutionary leader. The consul made inquiries on the subject, which established the fact that General Matos was not at Martinique or at Trinidad when the Laurent touched at those islands, but was off the Venezuelan coast on board the revolutionist steamer Liberator. All the passengers of the St. Laurent, and notably the secretary of the Spanish legation at Caracas. assert that the behavior of M. Secrestat was always most correct. and that he did not see General Mates.
 It is claimed that the incident makes it necessary for the French government to take the steps necessary to cause French citizens to be respected, and it is believed the French cruisers Tage and Suchet. now at Fort De France, will re- ceive orders to go to Laguayra.
 The French cruiser D'Estrees Is at Carupano, a seaport town in the State of Bermudez, Venezuela
 M. Secrestat. Jr., a son of merchant of Bordeaux, France, arrived at Laguay- ra January IA, with the intent of going to Caracss, to protest there against the seizure of the estates of General Mates hy the Venezuelan government, the geil- erals property having been legally leased to M. Secrestat, ST. The French govern ment, January IS. cabled to Caracas, in structing the French consul to insist that M. Secrestat, Jr., be allowed to land.

"A True Alabama Story.

Moses Kelly, Jr. was at that time sheriff of Jefferson county MT. Walker took Sheriff Kelley into his confidence ana agreed to give him s1000 If they re- covered the money. They at once put 6 watch on the movements Of the man with whom the planter had lodged Soon they learned that he had offered his lit tie farm for sale and gave It out that he had decided to go West. On inquiry il was found that he had put price on his place far below it's value. Next he put an order with the wood and blacksmith shops at Elyton for a new wagon. Anoth- CT suspicious circumstance was the fact that this small farmer had bought fine pair of mules from a Tennessee drover, paying $500 for them.
 Finally, the land was sold, the wagon finished and the day appointed for the start to the west. All these events were noted by the lawyer and the sheriff and his deputy.
 When the day for the departure came Walker secured a search warrant and he and the sheriff pursued. They overlook the man just as he struck camp for the night They informed him that they had a search warrant. He readily con sented and the search began. Trunks. boxes, beds, pillows and every conceiv- able place was closely scrutinized. as well as all of the persons of the family, but without success. At last. Just as Walk CT was going to get down from the wag- on his eye caught the edge of bright paper in the leaves of large family Bible that in the search had been re- moved from a trunk. He seized It, drew it forth and beheld sheet of money the entire $10,O00 except the $500 which had been paid for the mules. As soon as the thief saw that he was discover ed he leaped from the wagon and stared into the woods
 The mules were captured and easily turned into $300 MT. Walker notified his client. who had lost no time in making his appearance for the money When MT. Walker offered to pay Sheriff Kelley he demanded s1500 instead of 5000, because he said he had to give the deputy $500. Kelley sued Walker for the full $500, but the courts only gave him $1000
 Walker soon removed to Jacksonville, Ala. where he married the daughter of Major McGehee, became a circuit judge went to Congress and was for many years president of the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad.

Comparative Safety of Cars.

Among the many revelations that have followed the accident in the New.

 Tt was frankly admitted by one of the witnesses examined before the coro- ner that at an added cost of 10 per cent the ordinary passenger car could be so strengthened that few or no fatalities would follow a collision like that which took place in the tunnel. Devices and methods for doing this are not only well known, but, according to the reluctant, yIt obviously truthful witness, are util- ized in the interests of travellers specially favored either because of managerial rank or the payment of increased fares. |"

And every doubt and fear dispel.

Before eight weeks two more will come;
Eight months the corners cut the gum.
The outside grooves will disappear
From middle two in just one year;
In two years from the second pair
In three years the corners" too are

At two the middle "nippers" drop;
At three the second pair can't stop.
When four years old the third pair goes;
At five full new set he shows.
The deep black spots will pass from

At six years, from the middle two;
The second pair at seven years;
At eight the spot each corner" clears.
From middle "nippers" of upper jaw
At nine the black spots will withdraw.
