 on Legal Business.
 General George P. Harrison of opelika was in Montgomery yesterday. General Harrison came down on some legal busi- ness before Judge Sayre of the City Court.
 During his stay In the city General Har- rison was asked many times as to the truth of the report that he would be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor against Governor W. D. Jelks. To one of these queries the Gem eral replied:
 "I am down here on legal business. l did not come to Montgomery to talk politics If should decide to become a candidate for Governor l would make the announcement in my own way. l haven't anything to say on the subject. !" The General smiled good-naturedly at the questions, but no amount of persua- sion could induce him to change his ex- pressed resolution not to talk.

Local Dealers Say Quotations on
Standard Grades Show No
Change in a Year.
INFERIOR OFFERINGS LOWER.
While Live Stock Is Cheaper Pri-
vate Consumers Are Not
Benefited by the
', Change.

| A comparison of the quotations on meat
| with the prices last year. given by the
| local wholesale and retail meat dealers,
shows that. while the cost of meat was
higher last year to the butcher and the
wholesale dealer. the consumer has to pay
almost as much for It now as he did then
The local butchers say meat Of a high
grade costs the consumer as much as 1t did
last year. but meat Of a low grade is few
cents cheaper.
The consumer has to pay from 10 to 25 cents
a pound for a steak. Lamb chops cost at
least Il cents pound Mutton costs the
consumer from Sia to Il cents pound and
pork from 121s to 15 cents pound. Dressed
beef is rated at from 5 to 10 cents a pound.
These quotations are within a few cents
of the cost Of meat to the consumer last
year. when. owing to scarcity of corn,
1t was unusually high. The price of pork
was also higher.
Mr.; Sem ol the seim Meat Company at
the Fulton Market in effect corroborated
the statements as given. and said that
While some grades of beef were a little
cheaper than last year the better grades of
meat commanded as good prices now as
, then.
Mr.. T. W. Crouch. president Of the St.
Louis Dressed Beef and Provision Company,
rulings in the local provision market, and
that the prices were fixed solely by the
supply and demand. He said beef was high
er at this time last year. but did not think
there was very considerable difference
in the prices.
Beef and meat cannot stand STILL" said
Mr.. Crouch. For that reason We have con-
siderable fluctuations in the prices which
often show startling contrasts. The cattle
must be slaughtered and dressed soon after
1t is brought to the slaughter-house, and
then it must be sold within five days after
1t is slaughtered. These necessities make
our prices. A firm may have an unusually
large number of dressed beeves on hand and
have to dispose of thera at once. in which
case the prices drop little. Last year the
selling their cattle early in the season to
save keeping them. as corn was high. Con-
sequently the supply later was not in pro-
portion to the demand.
In killing ard dressing beef We calculate
on losing at least so per cent"
yesterday were as follows: Dressed beef.
4lac to 10c; pork. 10 cents: mutton. 7al to Sls
cents; meat on hoof was quoted at from
2i5 to cents pound.

MRS. ROLAND B. MOLINEUX.
Who is seeking a divorce in South Dakota.
was last week acquitted OF the charge of
murder after two sensational trials, and
has no reason for wishing to keep the object
OF her coming a secret: in fact she wishes
the world to know why she has taken up
her residence in Sioux Falls.
That she is in earnest is shown by the
fact that she to-day engaged the services
of the law firm Of Kittridge. Winans & Scott
of this city. to conduct her divorce suit and
has established herself in comfortable
quarters at the Cataract Hotel.
The senior member OF the firm Is United
States Senator A. P. Kittridge, while the
Junior member is the State Attorney Of this
county.
Mrs. Molineux declines to state the ma
ture Of the grounds upon which the suit
Will be based. She says, however, that she
has suffered martyrdom for the sake of
Roland Molineux. and now intends to seek
freedom.
She speaks in the highest terms of praise
Of General Molineux, the father of her hus-
band, but refers to her husband in terms
which are anything but fattering. She
does not refer to him by name or as her
husband. but invariably speaks Of him as
that man" She speaks in sadness of her
life as the wife of Roland Molineux.

FAITHFUL OLD NEGRO SERVANT
IS COL. ALTHEINlER'S GUEST.
"Uncle" Julius Edline Invited From
kis Arkansas Residence to At
tend Wedding in His MAS
ter's" Family.

Probably the most interesting guest and
the most interested of all who attended
the wedding of Maurice Althemer and Miss
Alice r. Kramer at the home of the latter
4l2o West Pine boulevard last night. was
Uncle Julius'' Edline. from Aitheimer,
Ark, an old negro servant. who has been
employed IL the Altheimer family FOR thir-
ty-seven years.
Uncle Julius" as he Is famil'arly known,
was taken in the Altheiner home imme-
dately after the emancipation, and pTac-
ticaliy has been one of the family ever
snce. Al the close Of the Civil War Colonel
! Louis Altheimer. a planter. purchased
large tract of land in Arkansas. which he
converted into plantation. 1t was then
that Colonel Altheimer found "Unce Ju-
lius." He placed him in charge of the
plantation and the faithful old negro has
been there ever since
Uncle Julius helped rear the children
of Colonel Altheimer. ard his gentle care
OF them endeared him TO the family. Con-
seQuently. about week ago when the
daughter OF Colonel Altheiner was mar
ried. Uncle julius was invited TO the
wedding.
He came and was asked to remain and at

In the course of the time between the
weddings Uncle julius was not 'dle. He
received the best attention, and Colonel
Altheimer and his sons saw that the faith
full old servant thoroughly enjoyed himself.
He was shown all the interesting places in
the city and was feasted on the best the
city affords. For the first and probably
the last time in his career he attended the
minstrel performance at the Century last
week. Uncle julius regarded the show
as one of the greatest treats of his lifetime.
