 Mrs J. A. Montgomery, daughter of Dr. B. B. Lewis. one time president of the University of Alabama, and grand daugh- ter of the late pr. Garland. president Of the University of Alabama and chancei- Tor of Vanderbilt University, rccited a short poem which brought tears to the eyes of nearly all present. It was a word picture of the massing of armies, the rush of battle, the dead and dying and the return to burned and desolated homes.
 The Rev. L.. s. Handley delivered a short address in which he said it was right to retain the memories of the civil war and train our children to be- lieve their fathers fought for just and righteous cause. He said the last call was coming for many of the veterans and he hoped the last years of their life would be better than the earlier ones.
 About fifty veterans marched to the cemetery, carrying the Stars and Bars in their front. They gathered around Senator Morrow and listened with hats off to his address
 He spoke of the memories which brought them together each year to re- new the ties of friendship among the liv- ing and to place flowers on the graves of those who fought and died for the noblest cause for which men ever bat tied He spoke of the great brain and brawn of the veterans, who returned to find their homes in ashes and have since built up great cities by energy. pluck and patriotism.
 After his speech the Daughters of the Conferedacy the Veterans and many others placed flowers on the graves of those who fell on the field of battle.

 'I am in receipt of letter from Cap tain Burr stating that the Governor has wired he will not be in Montgomery to- day and making an appointment for a meeting Wednesday. Captain Burr re- news his invitation to Captain Kennedy and myself to accompany him, and it is the purpose of Captain Kennedy and my self to ask the Governor to reinstate Col- onel Higdon.

THE FIRST FIREPROOF
 SANITARIUM IN STATE

would have no fear of being burned. These physicians found that under the present system of sending all their pa- tients to the hospitals it was both costly and troublesome and that by having a sanitarium of their own it would result in a saving of expenses to both physi- clans and patients. Another feature of a private sanitarium which is appreciated by patients is its freedom from noise which in large hospitals is a. great objeo- ton.
 A sanitarium Is In effect a small hos pital and this one will be equipped with all modern appliances. The operating room will be constructed on the best pat terms and equipped with the best ap- paratus. There will be a complete sys- tenn of baths and patients will be able to have any kind of bath wanted and also massage treatment.
 This will be the second fre-proof build ing to be constructed in Birmingham, the Woodward office building being the first. It demonstrates that the city has reached such a period in It's growth that investors fear no bacEsets and are will ing to put more money in buildings and have them built to stay.

Yesterday was Memorial Day, and after fitting ceremonies at the meeting hall of Camp Hardee flowers were placed on the graves of the Confederate dead in Oak Hill cemetery. Senator Hugh Morrow was the orator of tho day. He delivered a short but appropriate address at the cem- etery to about 500 people. composed of Confederate veterans and Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy.
 One of the incidents of the day was the presence at the ceremonies of a dozen members of the Grand Army of the Re- public. They bore wreaths and flowers and decorated the graves of the Confed- crate dead.
 At the meeting in Camp Hardee hall the Grand Army of the Republic veterans were greeted with. the rebel yell.
 Captain J. c. Miller and Major W. 1T. Hunter led three cheers by the G. A. R. Confederates and said they had heard the yell many times before, but it never sounded so sweet to their ears.
 The Rev. L. s. Handiey opened the services at the hall with prayer. He in voked the mercy of God on the few sur vivors of the lost cause and asked that they might be spared to see many more Memorial Days.
 Dr. o. T. Dozier read an original poem which touched on the principal portions of the late war. The chorus from the High School sang My Old Kentucky Home" and afterwards led in Dixie. " which was joined in by all present, and the rebel yell was to be heard frequently

 Yesterday morning Godbee left his watch on the table in his room when he went to breakfast, and when he returned a few minutes afterwards it was gone. He reported the matter to the police, and said he suspected young Latham. The pawnbrokers were notified and given a description of the watch. About l o'clock a friend of young Latham tried to- pawn the watch. He was held until Policeman Murphy and Waldrop arrived. They then caught Latham ard carried the two boys to tho chiefs office. Policeman Waldrop turned to telephone for the patrol wagon and Latham made a bolt through the door.
 Policeman Richardson was standing at the foot of the steps and followed the boy. About 100 persons Joined in the chase. The boy ran to Fourth alley and there jumped fence. Policeman Rich. ardson went through the gate and was set on by Q number of dogs. They bit him, tore his trousers and delayed the chase several minutes He killed one of the canines by blow on the head with his club.

TO DETECT POlSONs. The Body TrIes to Sweat Them Out.

At Q convention of medical men in St. Louis the effects of coffee drinking were carefully considered. It was unanimously agreed that while coffee does not seem to injuse some persons. to others it is a rank poison. The effect on different peNsons is. of course. very different. In some tho heart is affected, in others the lddneys, again the stomach or bowels. or the eyea, and in nervous cases the pros- tration is spread over the whole body.
 AS an illustration, a man in Hinton, W. va. experienced well defined symp- toms of poisoning from coffee. He says, T used coffee a great many years with no apparent pl effects. but about nine years ago began being sick. I became dull, lost my ambition, had dizziness my eyestsht was very bad and kept getting worse, and at times could hardly navi- gate at all I felt was going to fall ev- cry minute. and finally became so bad would have to sit down and rest three or four times in a distance of twice that many blocks.
 T went from one physician to another and faithfully took their prescriptions but the case was so complex that they could not successfully diagnose it. finally went to N. Y. City to the Wander bilt Clinic for treatment. There my case was diagnosed as neurasthemia. Every morning aDOut nlne, WOulQ nave a Kind of spasm. The precipitation would break out all over the palms of my hands, and my hair would be wringing wet. every nerve in the body would be affected and my heart would jump and beat at a fear full rate. This condition would generally last for about two hours. What I suffered no one can understand
 It finally came to me that these terrible sweats and spasms were just the same as In cases where people are poisoned and Nature tries to throw off the poison through the pores. So I concluded that something I was taking must act like a poison and I decided 1t was coffee. left it off one morning and had fearful headache all day, a sure sign that I was being held up by drug, so tha% evening I bought some Postum and the next morn- ing had it for breakfast in place of coffee. I was surprised for I could hardly tell it from coffee. That day I was only little sick about the usual time. and from the next day until now. something over 13 m onths, have never felt even the remot- est return of the spasms.
 I steadily got strong, my weight has in- creased from 1S0 pounds to 147 pounds and I am a well man. The seven years of suffering from coffee poison will al- ways remain with me as a horrible night

SALT PORK TAKES
 ANOTHER JUMP
NO ADVANCE EXPERIENCED IN THE PRICE OF BEEF FOR TWO wEEks-RIG RISE IS EXPECTED IN FLOUR.

There has been no advance in the price of beef for two weeks past but lard, salt r,ork and hams continue to go up. II packers skip a day it is the exception to the rule Friday was one of those exceptions but on yesterday hams were up fl of a cent, lard IS of cent and salt ribs and bellies were up 10 points. Retailers do not advance until the ad- vance is som ething like a cent There has been little or no change in retail quotations for nearly a week. but Ine erocers will have to mark up prices next week.
 There has been no advance in flour since Wednesday, but 1t Is generally be- neved there will be a sharp upward move ment within the next few days. Fifty cents on the barrel is talked of, but con- servative jobbers think the advance will not be that stiff inside of two weeks.
 An item of interest in jobbing circles this week was Collins & Co.'s order for 100 cars of West Virginia salt, because 1t was the largest single order ever placed by Birmingham firm. There has been no advance in the price of salt
 The produce market was unusually &C., tive last Friday and fairly active yester- day. On Morris avenue Eggs have been in brisk demand for several days at Ii cents and receipts have been quite am pie. Poultry in scarce and hens are slow pie Poultry is scarce and hens are slow 821a cents for the best. One or two mer- chants received a few GOODS of spring chickens yesterday. Forty cents was about the wholesale price.
 New Irish potatoes are good sellers al s550 to $6 a barrel, the retail price being 15 cents a quart. Old potatoes have been quoted under Northern quotations be- cause large stocks had been carried by Morris Avenue merchants, but there stocks are running out and there was a slight advance yesterday, tue best quality selling for S1-35 a bushel. Next week $15O will probably be the price. This time last year 60 cents was the whole sale quotation. Old potatoes have been retailing at 35 and 40 cents a peck but with the next advance they will go to 50 cents a. peck
 Cabbage Is still selling at 2h cents a pound wholesale The only winter vege- table that has declined in price Is the onion. few weeks back they were quoted at 4Q41a cents a pound, now the price Is 31h cents.
 Strawberries were selling on Morris Avenue Friday at 10 cents a quart; yes- terday at 121s cents. The shipments come from the Mobile section but by tomorrow week Culman will begin shipping. The market will then be well supplied and prices will be low enough for tho masses.
 Lemons are dull at $2.759a.o0 a box for choice and $S.5O for fancy. Hot weather in May will quicken the demand and run the price up Birmingham is the largest consumer of lemons and Lines of any city in the South between Louisville and New Orleans.
