Flower hats are always the conspicu-
Gus features of early spring millinery;
but this year prophets arc foretelling
a veritable lot of flowers in hatdom,
and the early showing seems to bear
out the prophecy.
The flower hats are in shape slight
ly different from those in vogue last
season, though Necessarily reminis-

must be. Several varieties are shown
in the above group, and from these it
should be possible to select something

you many more than it is possible to

ASK FOR NEW TRIAL JUDGMENT IN TALLASSEE CASE SAID TO BE EXCESSIVE. Lawyers Contend That Chapman Power Company Litigation Was Prejudiced by a Newspaper
 Publication-Affida
 Submitted.

Lawyers consumed all of the time oi the United States Court yesterday ir arguing a motion for a new trial, in the case of the w. A. Chapman Company of Providence, R. l., against the Mont gomery Water Power and the court, late in the evening adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning before the argument was concluded.
 A jury in the federal court 1t will be remembered recently returned a verdict for the Chapman Company for gum ap- proximating $l10.W0 for seizing certain tools used Tn connection with the building of the dam and water power plant at Tallassee.
 While the case was pending before tho jury. the afternoon newspaper published a statement made to a reporter by Gregory L. Smith, of Mobile, one of the lawyers interested in the case that nego- tiations were made to compromise the litigation for $6o.oOO and that they would have been agreed upon El interested parties In New York consented.
 The motion for a new trial made by lawyers for the Power Company was based on the contention that the Judgment was excessive and that the statement published concerning an alleged effort to compromise had prejudaced the jury.
 Affidavits. were submitted from MT. Smith and the newspaper reporter in which 1t was shown that when MT. Smith first talked with the young man about the case he d not know he represented a newspaper.
 Judge Thomas G. Jones stated from the bench that under the affidavits he had not the slightest doubt that the exporter was technically guilty of contempt, but he did not believe the reporter intended to commit a contempt. Therefore he said he would take no further notice of that feature of the contention. Judge Jones also said that he had no idea MT. Smith had any purpose to make published statement of the matter. In fact it was shown. Judge Jones said. that MT Smith in talking to the reporter had told him that a publication would prejudice the case and that Mir. Smiths s~affidavit showed he did not know the young man WAS e reporter.
 Continuing Judge Jones said that while a newspaper had the right to criticise a court or It's officers 1t had no right, while a case was pending, to publish evil dence and statements which would prejudice the parties interested.
 Judge Jones from the bench said he thought that from the evidence the judg- ment against the defendant company was excessive.
 The lawyers will continue the argument this morning.

A DAILY NUISANCE
A Simple Remedy Which Will In
 terest Catarrh Sufferers

In it's earlier stages catarrh Is more of a nuisance than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later, the disease extends to the throat bronchial tubes and even to the stomach and intestines.
 Catarrh is Essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucus, stop page of the nostrils. irritation in throat, causing coughing. sneczing. gagging and frequent clearings of the throat and head.
 The usual treatment by local touches. snuffs, salves, etc.. often gives temporary relief. but anything like @ cure can only be obtained by treatment which re- moves the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the inflamma- ton from the mucous surfaces.
 A new remedy which meets these re- quirements and which so far has been remarkably successful in curing catarrh is Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
 These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hardly be called a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as Blood root Hydrastin, Red gum and similar cleansing antiseptics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poi son.
 stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken internally, allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth, in this way they reach the thoat, fauces and the entire alimentafy canal.
 If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and used as a douche, in addi- tion to the internal use, but 1t is not at all necessary to use a douche; few of them dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient. However, when there Is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tablets will give imme- diate relief. but the regular daily use in- formally of these tablets will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the inconvenience of a douche.
 Dr, Bement states that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of touching and local application and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Stu arts Catarrh Tablets. as no secret Is made of their composition and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained in this tablet
 Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at fifty cents for full sized packages Ask your druggist and if he is honest he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, more efficient and convenient remedy on thezmarket- thu-Sat.sun%

ANXIOUS FOR ACTION.
President Wants Canal and Cuban Treaties Ratified.

Washington, Feb. 13-Senator Cullom, chairman of the Foreign Relations Com mittee, has had a conference with the President to-day concerning the treaties that are pending in the Senate.
 The anxiety of the President to have both the Panama Canal treaty and the Cuban reciprocity treaty ratified as soon as possible is not concealed. While 1t Is not understood that definite decision has been reached 1t can be said to be not improbable that in case the Senate should fail to act upon those treaties at this session an extraordinary session may be called to consider them.
 According to the best information ob- tainable 1t seems likely that an extra session will not be necessary. The belief Is that both the pending treaties men toned will be ratified before the close of the present Congress.

WORK OF THE SENATE
GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH DE
 LINERS INVOCATION.
Mir. Depew Says Hand of the Nor mon Church is Seen in the Sec tion of Statehood Bill Re-
 garding Polygamy.

| Washington, Feb. 13.-An immens' crowd was attracted to the Senate to-da. to hear the invocation of General VII liam Booth, founder and commander-ln chief of the Salvation Army. Among th' occupants of the galleries were Booth Tucker the generals chief assistant ant | son-in-law, and a large number or sal vationists.
 When the Statehood bill came up. MT | Depew resumed his remarks ana attacK | ed the Mormon church because, he sald | he believed its members still cling to tnt practice of polygamy.
 Referring to the anti-polygamy provis' ion in the Statehood bill. Mr. Depew said that 1t would seem that the nnt Italian hand of the Mormon Apostle had been at work in the preparation of the measure and that the concentrated in fiuence of the Mormon hierarchy could be seen in the determined effort to pre- vent any amendment which would com pletely exclude polygamy.
 It is not disputed, he said, that the vote of the Mormon church Is absolutely controlled by the central hierarchy oi that organization. He declared that the migration of Mormons to different States and territories was not tor the purpose of securing homes and farms, but through compact, to control legislation
 Any legislation, MT. Rawlins declared in any State directed at MoPmonism is futile unless there is a public sentiment which will sustain the same. The ques- tion was not as to the Inadequacy of the provisions against polygamy but as to the exercise of political power Persecution is the seed of the Mormon church, he de- clared and it did not do any good to arraign the entire people and brand every Mormon as a slave, a most unjust accu- sation.
 ITO do that" he said, you solidlfy those who would aIo you in bringing about the very conditions you seek here. |"
 The best possible school. he said. for the correction of these evils, Is to eman- cipate the Mormons and leave them free to work out their own destinies.
 MT. Dubois said he did not think the reference of the opponents of Statehood to polygamy were serious. He declared that if the Statehood bill Is allowed to be put on the postoff1ce appropriation bill he would consent to, and advocate the placing of the Idaho constitution relating to the amendments and to require Ari- zona and New Mexico to subscribe to 1t before being admitted.
 Under the test oath of that constitu- ton he said Idaho disfranchised every member of the Mormon church, and for years they were without vote.
 After an executive session the Senate adjourned until l o'clock tomorrow to allow the Senators to attend the noon wedding of Senator Cockrelrs daughter.

Greater Montgomery Today.

The Greater Montgomery bill will prob ably come up before the House this after noon or Monday The bill being local measure will be called up by some mem Der of the Montgomery delegation at an afternoon session at which nothing but local measures are considered.
 The friends of the bill are quite conf- dent that the bill will pass the House. Their only fear, it is said. is that some amendment may be tackled on which the friends of the measure do not want At any rate, there is not enough opposition in the House to the bill to make the fight on the measure interesting.
