the common carrier the power to make any contract releasing himself from negligence; and, indeed, may restrain al. engaged in employment in contract in the course of that employment which Is against public policy. The possession of this power by government in no manner conflicts with the proposition that, gen. eraliy speaking, every citizen has right freely to contract for the price of his labor, services or property"
 May Limit Contracts.
 In a later case than this, Chief Justice Fuller says: "The right to contract is not absolute, but may be subjected to the restraint demanded by the safety and welfare of the state, and it's inhab- itants.
 I could cite numerous other authorities in support of the proposition that legis- 1ative enactment is the proper remedy to adjust the differences between the miner and the operator, but I do not deem 1t necessary.
 Therefore, I submit, that if congress or a state legislature can pass and enforce an act establishing reasonable maximum rates of charges for transportation of passengers and freight on the railroads, does it not follow that the same legisla- tive body can enact such laws as will es- tablish and fix a reasonable minimum price per ton for mining coal.

Takes Oath as Attorney Before
 Clerk Allison
MANY FOR SECOND PLACE
Judge RouIhae Has Received Fifty one Applications From Lawyers Who Want Position as As-
 sistant Attorney.

The newly appointed United States at bama, Judge Thomas R. Roulhac, yes. terday assumed the duties of the office
 Judge Roulhac came to Birmingham from his home at Sheffield and immedi. ately upon his arrival here he went to the federal building and the oath of office was administered to him by Clerk Charles J. Allison. Judge Roulhac spent some time in the district attorneys office, looking Into matters of detail and fami- liarizing himself with the docket. Later he called upon former District Attorney Vaughan and the two were in conference for an hour. Every moment of Judge Roulhac's time was consumed with per- sons either on business or calling to ex- tend congratulations upon his newly ac- quired honors Among the latter were a number of the most prominent members |. of the local bar.
 Judge Roulhac has not definitely de- termined upon his plans for the future. He stated yesterday that he had only received his commission on Friday and Lat he had not had sufficient time in which to perfect future plans. His first official duties Wa be at Huntsville. a division of the court to be convened there Monday by Judge Jones. Second Assistant Attorney " H. standifer will go to Huntsville to assist Judge Roulhac. MT. Standiver has prepared the docket for this court, and his familiarity with it will render his presence almost indispen- sible.
 The new district attorney is being flooded with applications for the position of assistant attorney. Fifty-one have al- ready been filed. The attorney general makes these appointments, but 1t is eus- tomary for him to follow suggestions made by the district attorney. There are three positions in the office of the district attorney here which pay fair salaries. The first assistant receives $1SoO the second s12OoO and clerk s12OO.
 Some of the applicants for assistant at- torney are having their claims actively pushed. Postmaster J. Q. Thampson of Tuskegee, had a conference with Judge Roulhac yesterday in the interest, it Is
  cry, who wants to be first assistant. It was rumored among persons interested that Mir. Steele is to be the successful applicant, though Judge Roulhac did not confirm this. Mir. Steele Is life long republican, and Is the secretary of the republican state committee He was also secretary of the recent state convention, and in the preliminary meeting he close ly seconded Postmaster Thompson in the fight to permot all delegates with proper credentials to seats in the convention.
 There was also a rumor current that w. B. Bankhead of Huntsville would probably get the appointment as sec- ond assistant attorney. MT. Bankhead is a son of Congressman John H. Bank head and was formerly a law partnet with Congressman Richardson.
 Judge Roulhac left for his home last night and he will go to Huntsville Mon day. He has not yet determined if he will remove his family to Birmingham.

At Cincinnati.

At Cincinnati.
 Cincinnati The business of the week has been largely in dealing with diff faculties. Furnaces in the Valleys and Hanging Rock district have been obliged to bank one to three days at a time for month past because of inadequate coke supply. The largest pig iron corporation of the Alabama district is mining with convict labor sufficient coal to operate two furnaces, the output of which goes into their steel plant. Their other stacks ! will have to go out in a few days unless their miners strike is settled. of which | there Is no immediate prospect The vir- ginia furnaces are running irregularly, but with some little improvement. Un- der the untoward circumstances prevail ing generally the furnaces are producing remarkably well. Consumers, through the various channels of information, have become acquainted with existing condi- tions and with remarkably good nature accommodate themselves to the trying ordeas.
 The orders the past week have been as usual for almost every variety of do- nestle and foreign pig iron and aggre- gate a fair tonnage. There has been no large transactions in this district. h. quiries for next year continue numerous and some business has been booked for deliveries reaching to July next. The coke market is receiving more at tention perhaps at the moment than that of pig iron. The coke operators are doing their best to augment the supply and there are prospects of more liberal coal mining the coming week. The adjustment of the anthracite difficulties will quickly divert bituminous coal now going east from the Virginias in large quantities to normal channels and through the coke ovens will bring relief to the many fur naces and foundries awaiting proper coke supply.
 At Pttsburg.
 Pittsburg-So far as we can see the local foundry iron market has been con- fined solely to the consideration of small lots this week. Such iron as has been sold for early delivery has been going readily at decided advances over the fig- ures of the week previous.
 Coke continues to be the all-absorbing topic and there is a decided rush on the part of consumers to close for the first half of 1903. Coke for delivery in October and November of this year Is going at re- markabie figures, the strange feature of these high prices being that the central

Pe-ru-na Cannot Be Initiated.

There is no use trying to initiate Pc. runa. It has been tried many times by men skilled in pharmacy and chemistry, but they have always failed. The imi tators of Peruna don't fool any one who has ever taken Peruna or who has ever witnessed the good results or Peruna.
 Peruna acts so promptly, It's benefits are so lasting and it is so sure to reach catarrh wherever located in the body that no limitations of Peruna can succeed.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case. and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

It is very easy indeed for the doctor to order patients a change of scene and eli mate. Such an order is very easily given and is often a very appropriate remedy.
 Indeed, it would be a good thing if all people suffering from nervousness could travel and recuperate their nerves by change of climate and scene, but not one case in five hundred can do this. Most people are tied at home by duties or pos sibly cannot afford to make the desired change.
 It is very easy, therefore, for the doctor to order this change but sometimes very difficult or even impossible for the pa tient to carry it out.

wAMES L. TANNER, a well known
 lawyer and recently a candidate for
 the democratic nomination for sec retary of state, has written the following card in which he suggests legislative enactment as a means of settling disputes between miners and operators. He claims that an act of the legislature fixing tional.
 Following is the card:
 To the Editor of The Age-IIerald.
 The position taken by MT. David Will cox, vice-president and counsel for the Delaware and Hudson Railroad company, in his letter to the President and which appeared in The Age-I1erdl of Saturday, that the United States government ought to interfere by injunction against the United Mine Workers of America, be- cause it is an illegal organization and against interstate commerce, will hardly receive the serious consideration of the President or of anyone else--because:
 1. The miners of the anthracite region have not interferred with the transporta- tion of the mail, nor of commercial com modities.
 2. They have not obstructed the rail- roads in their efforts to transport the mails or destroyed commerce.
 8. The right of the public are not violat- ed by the refusal of the miners to work.
 The miners are willing to resume work if the operators will agree to pay the price they ask for their labor, and it is nowhere contended that the price asked by the miners is unreasonable for the services to be rendered. The company | represented by MT. Wilcox has for its purpose 'the furnishing of the state of New York a supply of coal found in the state of Pennsylvania" It is an admitted fact that this company, as well as the rest of the operators, can get the coal for shipment and delivery if they will only agree to pay the price of mining 1t. The public are interested to the extent that the general welfare of the public is in jeopardy and the United States govern ment under the power of eminent domain can condemn this property and have it operated for the welfare of the people but I will not further touch upon the proposition.
 Cannot Mandamus Miners.
 The government cannot mandamus the United Mine Workers and compell them to work at the mines for the prices of- fered, nither can 1t mandamus the oper- ators and compell them to employ the miners at the price asked. The question | Is narrowed down to this: Shall the miners work at the operators price, or shall the operators pay the miners their prices? There Is so far, no law in this country that can make these two organ izations come to an agreement. The fol- lowing expectations case will clearly Illustrate the weakness of the position taken by MT. Wilcox.
 Suppose that the iron producers of this district should combine and agree not to ship any iron out of this state at the present rate of freight charged Could they be enjoined because they were an illegal union in restraint of interstate commerce. without establishing that the rate of freight charged was not unrea- | sonable, but that it was reasonable l charge for the services rendered as es-

 New York-The confusion in the fuel situation is still the dominant feature both among producers and melters of pig iron. Furnaces have managed to keep going most of the time, but the interrup- tions are sufficient to produce irregular working with increase of costs and the making of considerable off iron. The scarcity of coke has extended to foundries which hitherto have not seriously suf- fered Famine prices. in some cases two to three times the normal rates, are of- fered without bringing sufficient sup ply.
