Commander of Colombian Army Ae' corded Enthusiastic Reception.

Panama, October 16.-General Perdomo, minister of state and supreme command CT of the Colombian army, who has been invested with presidential power, ar rived here today, and was accorded most enthusiastic reception.
 Governor salazar. with all the high civil and military authorities, met General Perdomo at the railroad station. A guard of American marines presented arms on his arrival, and such was the enthusiasm of the crowd assembled that the guard was unable to prevent the people from rushing Into the depot when the train from Colon reached this city. The appear ance of the general was the signal for wild cheering. A military band played the national anthem, and General Per domo was escorted by General Salazar and the other officials to the center of the city. The streets were lined with govern ment soldiers. This evening there will be a banquet and other celebrations on the part of the conservatives, who have re- eeived great encouragement from the ar rival of the minister of state. The United States steamer Ranger, which left Pan- anna October 10 with an important com munication from Rear Admiral Casey for General Herrera, the revolutionary commander, returned here this afternoon.

COAL FLEET IS LOST.
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
 Bushels Go Down.


 Cattlesburg, Ky, October 16.-One hun dred and fifty thousand bushels of bitu- minous coal a portion of the cargo of the advance guard of the coal fleet bound from Pittsburg to the south. were sunk in the Ohio river near here early this morning as a result of a collision of the tow boat Fred Wilson with a dyke two miles above this city In addition to the coal lost, eleven barges were sunk while number, which were cut loose and float ed down the river. were secured only af- ter a hard struggle.
 The fleet. lead by the tow boat Gleanor with twelve barges, and the tow boat Fred Wilson with twenty-two barges, had reached the Twelve Point dke, two miles above this city, when the Fred Wilson missed the channel and her front barges, swinging around, struck the end of the dike, becoming immediately sub merged. On account of the size of the tows there was great difficulty in manag- ing the boats and in the confusion of the next few moments, eleven barges were sunk, eight of them going down in the channel.
 At the same time the rest of the barges of the Gleanor and the Wilson broke loose and started to float down the river. The crews of both boats after repeated efforts, succeeded in picking up the scat tered barges, but it is feared that a large portion of the coal which was sunk will be lost

A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE.
About HRIood Purifiers" and "TonIcs,

Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be renewed in
 but one way, and that Is, from whole some food properly digested. There is no other way and the idea that a medi- cine in itself can purify the blood or sup ply new tissues and strong nerves is | ridiculous and on a par with the fol-
 de-rol that dyspepsia or indigestion Is u germ disease or that other fallacy, that weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and infaming the bowels by pills and cathartics.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets cure indi- gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stom- achs lack, and unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase is supplied it is use- less to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of ''tonics," pills and "ca- thartics' which have absolutely no diges- tive power, and their only effect is to give a temporary stimulation.
 One grain of the active principle in Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets digest 5000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass bottle at proper temperature. but of course are much more effective in the stomach.
 There is probably no remedy so uni- versaIly used as Stuart's Tablts because it is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to insure perfect digestion and assimila- tion of the food.
 People who enjoy fair health take Stu arts Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to keep , we'll prevention Is better than cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove 1t where 1t exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demon strate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument

] I'D WOMAN of wealth and fashion
 who figures eonspicuously in the
social world Is 80 frequentl

\ social world is so frequently sneered at by other women and termed frivolous and worldly-minded and held up as the type of woman who negleets her home and children that to many narrow and prejudiced minds the very word society" is apt to call forth a de- risive curl of the lip.
 It is interesting. therefore. 70 see that a majority of many undertakings fall fiat unless they are promoted by these women who are referred to as frivolous and as lacking in the very qualities thai are needed in the success of public enter prises.
 With the winter season opening fl is also interesting to observe that it is tba woman of fashion who is putting in mo- tion the very movements that burden so. eiai life and develop it along the highest lines
 Tn her effort to really accomplish some 1hing serious, something worth while ,, she risks quite alone the comments tbot reach her ears in regard to her frivo1o,,s lli-spent life, and while she is beine pointed out as the type of fashionable woman who leads society" she is occn-
 
 pying her time in inspecting the best kindergartens for her children and look Ing after their physical welfare in an ,n- teilgent way that comes from her seri- ous study of their needs. And she Is not content to think only of what her blue- eyed boy needs, but she gives thought to the boy in less fortunate surroundines and aids in providing him the same edn- cauonal advantages accorded her own child.
 The woman of fashion Is to be found taking an active part in the most de- serving of charities in Birmingham. She hnds time to consider the wants of the unfortunate little ones of the street and to assist in providing shelter and protec- ton for them. She interests herself in reform work of various kinds. and she is never happier than when she is able to assist in carrying on some great work suggested by the philanthropist and the reformer.
 The society woman has many demands made upon her time. for in addition to the more serious work m which hun dreds of fashionable women are engaged. there are the so-called lighter and gayer duties that she must assume every sea- son.
 The gay and brilliant world of society looks to her for it's pleasures. She must entertain; she must be delightful hostess; she must be perfectly gowned; she must give delicious dinners
 Then she must have time for the French lessons. She must spend an occasional morning in the studios. Last night it was dinner and today three teas, and cards.
 Mrs. Society Leader commits an un- pardonable offense if she ever sends Ire grets" She is expected to run the whole gamut of social duties. And yet if she is pretty and popular some one criticizes her and terms her frivolous and worldly minded. If she is wealthy and fashion able, heaven only knows what is said about herl

MRs. MooRlNe,s clAssEs.

Mrs. Margaret l.. Mooring of 801 South Twentieth street opened her Burromes kindergarten school of music yesterday with hattering number of pupils.
 The Burromes kindergarten has been introduced here by Mrs Mooring and bids fair to be as popular in Birmingham as in other cities. Miss Burromes has called her method a kindergarten because 1t develops in children the raculties and culture which make musicians. Sine is not a disciple of Froebel, but developed her method entirely from her experience of the practical need of children.
 Mrs Mooring. who has mastered Miss Burromes method, is in every way equipped to introduce it in Birmingham. She is a brilliant musician and includes among the patronesses of her kindergar- ten school Mrs David Roberts. Mrs W. P. G. Harding, Mrs W. H. Underwood, Mrs. Douglas Kirkpatrick Mrs. Alexan- der London, Mrs. Dr. Wyman Mrs. Munger, Mrs Brooks, Mrs. Musgrove. Mrs Mayberry, Mrs Pinkard, Mrs. J. B. Harris Mrs. w. W.
