Hon. F. Y. Fitzpatric.., Congressman from Kentucky, writes from the Ma tional Hotel, Washington, D. O., as follows:
 "At the solicitation of friend, used your Peruna and can cheerfully recom- mend your remedy to any one suffer- ing with catarrh or who needs good tonic. "-F. Y. Fitzpatrick.
 Chronic catarrh often makes Its ap- proach in disguise. Before a person knows it, he may become victim of chronic catarrh. It's onset may be gradual, it's development insidious, but at last the victim finds himself in the clutches of tenacious disease. A slight cold, a tendency to sneeze, a puffiness in the nose and head, fullness or crack ing in the ears, stringy mucous in the throat, slight cough or wheeziness, snoring during sleep; any one of these s. nptoms should be regarded as a warning.
 Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. Almost everybody knows that by hear say and thousands know 1t by experi- ence.
 What can be cured in the beginning in a week or two by using Peruna, II

 to Secure Another Train.

Jasper, May 13-(SpeciaL) )-Barbour Thompson of the Southern railway, with headquarters in Atlanta, is in Jasper in the interest of the road he represents.

The latter is superintendent of the North ern Alabama division of the Southern, with headquarters in Memphis A com mittee from the Commercial club Is in conference with these officials in an ef- fort to secure an accommodation train from Drifton by way Of Parrish to Jas per.
 The Commercial club Is at work in earnest and has fair prospects of secur- ing some good enterprises for the town.
 The Jasper Light and Power company will, within few days, begin operations. and already several small industries are making arrangements to operate by elec- tricity. That enterprising newspaper, the Mountain Eagle, will put in a motor for the operation of both of its presses.
 Julius Louchheim of Cincinnati, who has large investments here, is the guest of the Jasper Inn. MT. Louchheim bears the distinction or being the nrSt sub scriber of the capital stock of the Gran ford Mercantile company. When this cor poration was organized ten years ago he was here and took some stock. He has received 2l0 per cent dividends on the stock, and still owns the original invest ment intact.
 Mrs. J. E. Spain, who has made the Jasper Inn one of the most popular ho- tels in North Alabama, has leased her premises to Mrs. Bankhead of Sulligent. Mrs. Bankhead is a woman of rare cul- ture and refinement and will without doubt keep the Inn up to its present high standing.
 J. Tom He1in, secretary of state, Is here today to deliver the annual address at the closing exercises of the Jasper graded school. The commencement ser mon at the Baptist church last Sunday by the Rev. R. E. McCorkle of the Chris tian church was logical. scholarly and in every way entertaining.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR
 IN MONTGOMERY
Forty-Third ConcIave of the
 Grand Commandery
PARADE IN FULL UNIFORM
The Rev. w. c. Hearn Succeeds w. J. E. Coxe of Mobile as Grand Prelate, Who Was unable to Attend.
 Other Capital City News.

Montgomery, May 13 - (Special) - The mandery, Knights Templar, convened in the Masonic temple today, a good att tendance of Sir Knights present.
 The morning session was devoted to routine matters, an address of welcome by Eminent Sir Knight Robert S. Teague of Montgomery and a response by Right Eminent Sir Knight Charles F. Wheelock of Birmingham. After opening religious services the grand commander delivered his annual address.
 Quite spectacular event of the morn- ing was the parade of the local Knights in full uniform from the temple on Perry street to the Exchange hotel to receive the visiting Knights and grand officers. The procession then moved back to the temple.
 Grand Prelate w. J. E. Coxe of Mobile was unable to attend the conclave. and the Rev. w. c. Hearn of Talladega was chosen to succeed him.
 The evening session took rather a so- cial form. Impressive scriptural rites were led by the grand prelate and Right Emil nent Sir Knight R. M. Cunningham of Ensley delivered an eloquent address be- fore the conclave
 Softly Fall the Shades of Evening was rendered by quartette, followed by the reading, 'Sandolphon," by Mrs. A. D. Sayre. Mrs. W. M. Clyde rendered a beautiful solo. "The Old Refrain" was beautifully rendered by a quartette, and was followed by an address by Sir Knight E. S. Starr of Selma, the grand treas- urer. There were a few other musical numbers, and a reception to visitors fol- lowed

ST. BERNARD.
College Boys Give an Excellent Pro-
 gramme on the Stage.

St. Bernard, May 13.-(Special)-Tn students and guests of St. Bernard's col- lege, near Cullman, Ala, were given a rare treat Tuesday evening by the Glee club of that institution. Maurice, the Woodcutter," a melodrama in five acts, was presented and rendered in a masterly manner. Many of the Birmingham boys participated and showed up to good ad- vantage. The play Is replete with stir ring incidents, requiring good, quick and fiery action, but no movement or stage business seemed foreign to the boys. They went into every detail like veteran actors. The boys range in age from 15 to 25. but on the stage seemed to be men of from 30 to 50. Stafford Burns took ore of the leading parts as Prince Leopold" As straws show the way the wind blows, this event proved the thor ough training the boys of St. Bernard receive. A great credit is certainly due the professor who has the Glee club in charge. The St. Bernard orchestra &C., quilted itself in its usual masterly man. ner, under the direction of Father Charles. All Birmingham people have reason to feel proud of the fact that they have such an excellent college so near their doors. An academy for young ladies, to be conducted by Sister Ottilia, to cost $150.000. is now under construc- ton. and will be opened September 4
