Extent to Which a Student Wished
 to Go Into Mourning.
 Professor Henry A. Beers of Yale Uni versity has not forgotten the days of his youth. and occasionally likes to retail some of the stories that amused him when he was a pupil instead of a teacher. Speaking recently of queer college fads he said that in his undergraduate days mourning hatbands become so popular as to grow from a mark of bereavement almost to a feature of natty dress
 One day he went into a store with a friend who. after buying hat. said he would like to look at some mourning bands.
 These widest bands" exclaimed the storekeeper, displaying his assortment "are worn for immediate members of the family. From that they narrow down according to the relationship. Which width do you need. sir?" he asked.
 The student made a moments inspec- tion. oh! give me about an uncle" he replied.

 No Conference Held.
 There was no conference or consultation concerning the proposal of the adminis- trAtion. That matter was settled when the modified proposal of the Governor and Convict Inspectors was sub E1itted to the operators Monday.
 Tn, coal men filed their bids and the Governor and Convict Inspectors retired into the private ofhce Of the Governor to examine and figure upon them. An ad- 5ournment after a short session was taken until late in the afternoon.
 The State oficials in the afternoon were in session for a couple of hours. The letting of the contracts involves no in- considerable labor. Each bid has to he carefully figured and the cost of mining coal in the different mines represented among the bidders had to be considered.
 Award Within a Week.
 It was said by one of the State off, cials that it would probably be a week before the contracts would be let or an announcement as to the bids made.
 None of the coal operators would say what would be an average bid per ton for the conyicts upon a free labor basis The mining companies are now paying free miners 55 cents a ton for mining coal.

SEALED BIDS
 FOR CONNECTS Nine Companies Want
 Them for Mines. COAL OPERATORS HERE Several Days Before State Awards the Contracts. Officials Will Figure on Various Pre- positions submitted-Believed
 That Revenue from Prisoners
 Will Be Increased;

Ten sealed bids for the hire of the State convicts for labor in the coal mines of Alabama under the new conditions were filed yesterday with Governor Jelks and the Board of Convict Inspectors
 Under existing conditions only two min- ing companies in Alabama. the Tennes- see Coal and Iron Company and the Sloss Steel and Iron Company employ convict labor.
 The new bids, under which. if they are accepted. the State convicts will be let out after January 1, are submitted under the general condition that the convicts as regards their labor. will be placed upon the basis of free labor. The State will receive for their labor so much for every ton of coal mined by the convicts.
 Requirement. of Contractors z The coal is to be dug by the convicts' carried out of the mines and loaded on the cars The convicts will be under the direct supervision of the Convict Inspec- tors The bosses and mine foremen will be selected and employed by the State. The State will furnish food. clothing. maintenance and medical attention to the convicts.
 The coal company or coal operator who
  hire of the convicts will be required to buiki the necessary prisons and stockades and hospitals for the convicts.
 The contractor will also have Mine Superintendent at each mine operated by convicts. who will look after the con- tractors interest.
 The State convicts. under present con ditions, are leased at so much per month for each man and they are worked under bosses and foremen selected by the coal companies.
 State Gets More Revenue.
 The official figures from the Convic' Department show that the State now re ceives a little above IS cents for each oi ton of coal mined by the convicts. Int State officials are confident that the rev enuc from convicts to be employed in tn' mines under new conditions will be mucf larger than it has been in the past. The number of bids, submitted yester day was larger than was expected. Th' new conditions were evidently more ac ceptable to the coal operators than the! | had been willing to admit.
 The companies making bids yesterda' were The Tennessee Coal and Iron Com | pany. the Sloss-Sheffield Coal and lrol | Company. the Pratt Coal Company. tn | Ressemer Land and Improvement Com | pany, the Tutwiler Coal and Iron Com | pany the Little Cahaba Coal company T.

AMERICAN SAILORS RIoToUs.
Men of the Hartford Get in Trouble
 in Madeira.

London, Nov 19.-The Daily Mail re- ports that during the recent visit of the United States training ship Hartford to Madeira, a hundred of the crew were al- lowed to go on shore for five hours. and some of them became intoxicated and in duIged in riotous behavior.
 They interfered with a passing wagon drawn by bullocks and assaulted we'll known local gentleman with sticks. se- verely maltreating him.
 This incident led to bottles being thrown at the sailors from the windows of ho- tel and some among the crew sustained rasty cuts. Later the populace assumed a hostile attitude towards the American seamen, and several fled into church to escape from the angry mob. The Hart ford fired a half a dozen blank shots and subsequently the captain came ashore and decided to stop all further leaves while in port.

But thanks to Peruna, fool ed them all.
 "In an incredibly short time after I be- gan to take Peruna the hemorrhages stopped. began to mend slowly at first but the improvement became more mark ed, and now I can truthfully say that there is not the slightest. trace of my old complaint.
