 TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.

 is Over.

Serenity apparently permeates, the long distance exchange in Montgomery at the American Telephone and Telegraph Com pany. The threatened disaffection of its young women employees has blown over.
 No other resignations of operators of the long distance exchange were received yesterday and it Is asserted that there will be no more trouble in the exchange
 Division Superintendent E. E. Bawsel of Atlanta, Ga. left the city yesterday, apparently satisfied with conditions in the local office.
 It will be remembered that Miss Eliza beth Powell. a day operator. and Miss Mary E. Thomas, chief night operator, resigned from their positions in the ex- change, on account of alleged discourtesy on the part of c. H. Sphar. wire chief in charge of the local office. It was rumored that the resignation of several other operators would follow.
 Miss Carrier Lamar, day chief operator said yesterday that as far as she knew no resignations were handed to the wire chief yesterday and her force of operators appeared to be satisfied with their places.
 Clark H. Sphar, local wire chief was seen. He said he had received no resig nations yesterday from the operators and business was moving as smoothly as ever m the exchange. He said that Division Superintendent Bawsel left Montgomery yesterday morning. He did not know what point he intended visiting. MT. Sphar apprehended no further trouble in the office.
 Things were moving smoothly in the exchange. The operators were answer ing their calls in a very business-like manner and seemed to be perfectly con- tented

BELIEVED TO BE IMPLICATED IN
 ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

 The O'Berg woman conducts store on Greyhound Street Her husband, John oBerg, is a Swede. and they were prose- cuted recently for miscegenation.
 After the arrest of the OBerg woman Tuesday night several patroimen were detailed to work on the case and the po- lice now believe they have all persons who were concerned in the attempted rob bery.
 Henry Kinney, a negro employe or the grocery house, was arrested soon after the O'Berg woman was taken to police headquarters. She said Kinney effected an entrance to the store for herself and con- federates. Patrolmen Rapport, Story and Lon Taylor went to the house of Kinney on Holt Street near Ludie Street and arrested the negro.
 Police Captain Taylor. with mounted patrolmen, had in the meantime gone to the home of John O'Berg on Greyhound Street. where he was placed under ar- rest.
 Early yesterday morning. Lionel Lewis, a son of the O'Berg woman, and Cap Thomas, a negro boy, were taken into custody. It Is believed the O'Berg wo- man wore the clothing of Cap Thomas when she was arrested.

 Yesterday morning Sheriff W. R. Waller and Deputy Sheriff s. s. Belser, drove out to the home of Williams. When the negro saw the officers approaching his house he rushed through rear door, and. Jumping a back fence. hid in the undergrowth. Deputy Belser pursued the negro, who produced pistol. The deputy was too quick for Williams. however, and soon had him in his clutches.
 Williams was brought to the city and was turned over to the Montgomery po- lice.
 This afternoon the attempted robbery of the grocery store will be investigated by Recorder Arlington.

Circumstances Under Which MT
 Spafford Wrote the Hymn.

Circumstances Under Which MT
 Spafford Wrote the Hymn.
 'It is We'll With My Soul' was written by H. G. Spafford, and the popular tune to which 1t is always sung is one or F. B: Bliss best compositions. o, +h. Chicago bar and an elder of the Presoy- terian Church. .u :. 20,
 He had been successful in his profes- sion, but had made some unfortunate ln- vestments, and when the financial panic of 1873 seriously disturbed the business oI the country MT. Spafford found that his savings of many years had been swept away. - trated by this disastrous turn in thetr affairs, .Ud he acceded to the wish or heIpfui friends that they should visit Flu rope and thus be removed for some tune
 Mrs. Spafford and her four children took passage on he French liner Vile du Havre, and the story or that voyage ia one of the most appalling of the many calamities of the sea
 of a November night in 1873 the steam ship colllded with the Glasgow clipper Lock Earn. and in twelve minutes the former went down, carrying to death 20 souls, and among them were MT. spar ford's four daughters.
 Mrs, Spafford sank with the vessel, but foated again, and was finally rescued.
 The saved were taken to ttdNre, ana from that city she sent message to her husband in Chicago.
 "saved. but saved alone. What shall do?'
 This message of fearful import-"suf- 6cient to drive reason from her throne" was the first notice MT. Spafford had that his dear ones were not as happy as when he parted with them a few days before in New York.
 In his unutterable sorrow Mir. Spafford did not chant a dirge to impossible hope
 When he reflected that his property was lost in destruction's waste. that his wife was painfully prostrated. and that his four children were buried fin the dark waves of the sea, there came from his heart of hearts song of trust and resig nation that has many times encircled the globe;
 
 When peace. like river. attendeth my
 way,
 When sorrow. like sea pillows roll: Whatever my lot thou hast taught me
 to say,

AN EYE.OPENER.
Didn't Believe it Possible that Cof-
 fee was at Work.

People often attribute their i'll health to some indiscretion in eating, and change diet in the hope of recovering their wonted good health; finding no change for the better in their condition, they are at a loss for the cause. never for a mo- ment thinking that the cup of coffee which ttey take in the morning is the true source from whence all their ills have come.
 A lady in Philadelphia had her atten- ton called to the pernicious working of coffee on the system by reading a little beck on How to Live" She says: Tt was truly an eye-opener to me. All the many symptoms of the nervous stage un- der which I had been laboring so long were here directly traceable to coffee drinking. Especially was it shown to be responsible for the complete break down of my nervous system, which had ascribed to many different causes, and which had become so great that my hands shook like that of a toper when ever I carried things to my mouth or reached out to grasp anything. l found myself subject to frequent spells of de- spondency and gloom. a feeling of emp tiness, with constant sour eruciations.
 Now, like every slave to an inordinate appetite, I was loath to believe that my favorite morning and midday bevera ge was the true cause of all this nervous wretchedness.
 Having noticed the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee, I determined to test it, and purchased a package and had some prepared carefully as directed. I enjoyed my first cup immensely, and Postum has been my favorite drink ever since, and that is a year and half ago. had barely used 1t a week when I real ized a general tone-up' of my system. First, my appetite improved; next, I had no feeling of depression for days to- gether, and a sensation of comfort espe- cially of my stomach, was noticeable. After a month, I was aware that my hands no longer trembled, my nerves were improved, and this improvement continued until I entirely recovered my health.
 Whenever I learn of case of nervous prostration, dyspepsia. or stomach trouble among friends and others, at once urge the abandonment of coffee as a beverage, and the use of Postum in its stead, and I have yet to learn of a single case, in which it failed of its effects" Name given by Postum Co..

When MT. Spafford returned from Havre with his invalid wife he said to his friends:
 T never felt more like trusting God than I do now.
 Spaftord's hymn of resignation. with It's fine musical setting by the lamented Bliss Is one of the most helpful of the many Gospel songs written during the past quarSsr 0f century.
 One Sunday evening a service of song was given in one of our large city churches at which the story of Tt is Well With My Soul'' was told. and the lines sung with great tenderness of ex- pression by the audience and choir.
 Attending the services was gentleman who had suffered financial reyerses in the panic of 1893.
 When he heard the story of Spaffori's heavy affliction and joined in singing tho hymn so pathetically inspired, he said to his wife on his return home from ths
 T will never again complain of my lot.
 TIf Spafford could write such a beau tiful resignation hymn when he had lost all his children. and everything else save his wife and character, I ought surely to be thankful that my lossas hava hsaa so IiEhts"
