 Resistance.

Application was yesterday made to the State Board of Pardons for a pardon for Glare Humphrey a white man, nf CuiI- man County who is serving a sentence or fifteen years in the mines for murder The application Is being strongly con- tested and the residents of the County are divided on the question of the pardon of Humphrey.
 Attorneys have been retained ny the friends and opponents of the petition for cleinency The family of Fred Schuen- ling, the man who was Killed, are striv- ing to prevent any pardon or parole. The pardon was res sted yesterday before the State Board of Pardons by Attorneys W.. T. L.. Cofer and s. J. Griffin. It was urged by State Senator Robert l.. Hipp and George H. Ptrker. The petition for clemency was presented to the Plrdoning Board at special meeting held yesterday morning A counter petition, asking that the sentence of the court be not intsrfered with was also presented. Arguments were made by the oppos ng lawyers.
 The Board took the question under ad- v'sement. Humphreys shot Schuenling to death in d personal difficulty. The dead man Is sad to have insulted him, when he pulled pistol and fired the fatal shots.
 Humphreys was convicted and sentenced in the fall of 1901. He has, therefore. served not quite two years of hiS sen tence.

INTERESTED PARTIES ASK FOR
 ELLIoTT's APPOINTMENT.
Delegation of Attorneys Ask Judge Jones to Appoint Him as Re- ceiver of Car and

Jones of the United States Court for the Middle District of Alabama with d view of having J. M. Elliott of Gadsden appointed assistant receiver for the com pany.
 It will be remembered that two days ago Judge Jones appointed T. G. Bush and Thomas A. Gillespie receivers. It is practically agreed among counsel that MT. Elliott be appointed assistant receiver. which in all probability will be done to- day at 10 o'clock when the matter comes before Judge Jones.

Amos Goodhue of Gadsden, Charles l.. MacKen- zie of New York. L. Battle of olumbus. Ga. and c. l.. Trabue of Nashville.
 The attorneys represented various in- terests affecting the Southern Car and Foundry Company They met here for a general conference and to discuss before Judge Jones the best means of manag- ing the property.
 It developed that there was consider able opposition to Thomas A. Gillespie. one of the co-receivers. originally appoint ed by the Federal Court of New Jersey. Gillespie. with T. G. Rush. was appoint ed to take charge of the companys prop erty within Judge Jones's district The attorneys have requested Judge Jones to remove Mir. Gillespie as one of the re- ceivers of the company's property in Alabama.
 This question. with others. will come up for action before Judge Jones at the hear ing today.

It was after attending a case which required more than ordinary watchfulness and care that broke down in health. I was afraid that I should be compelled to give up my work entirely and believe that Wouio have been the case had 1t not been for pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
 You ask me what Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for me2 They have done what doctors and all other medicines failed to do-they have made me well woman My system was all run doWn and my stomach became affected. l nao indigestion so bad that my sunerinss with it nearly drove me distracteo. Oftentimes I was obliged to take to my bed.

Its energies and resources to fighting the stegomyia fasciata. If that genus of mos quito can be kept out of the United States there win be no more yellow fever here Is the firm conviction of the scientinc departments of the Government. Hereat- ter steamships end ether convey an:es that arrive in this country from secti ons infested with yellow fever will be thor oughly fumigated by order of the Gov eriment. with the view of killing the stegomyra fasciata that may have been brought along. In the event of the de- velopment of case of yellow fever on board a ship that enters any port in this country the victim will be immediately removed to a mosquito-proof room so as to prevent the possibility of any steg- omyia fasciata that may be lurking around from biting him and thus com municating the disease to other persons. So confident are the health authorities that these measures would prove effec- tive that they declare they would be will ing to sleep in the same bed with per son in the most advanced stage of yellow fever provided only the victim was plac- ed in a mosquito-proof apartment.
 It is expected that as direct result Of this discovery and treatment there will soon be a radical revision of the quaran- tine laws at all Southern ports 90 that in future the commerce of these places will not be paralyzed for weeks. and sometimes months in the summer by vel low fever scares.
 Only in Sunshine.
 The commission also discovered at Vera Cruz that the time of the fight of the stegomyia fascata Is restricted to the hours of sunshine. Hence it is compata- lively safe to sleep without protection at night.
 What Is denominated by the commis- sion as the '.infectibie territory in the United States extends as far north as the southern border of Maryland. Within this broad expanse of territory the steg- omyia fasciata has been found at times in great numbers. But all the cities and towns in the area of the infectible ter ritohy are not equally infested. As for example, Charleston, Savannah, aid Brunswick, Ga, now harbor few, if any. yellow fever mosquitoes. according to the scientists who have carefully investigated the subject. Mobile, they say. with it's new water supply Is rapidly eliminating not only the chances, but also the danger of infection. But Jacksonville, Key West and Tampa. Fla. New Orleans and Brownsville, Eagle Pass and Galveston, Tex, now harbor the stegomyia fasciata in abundance. declare the experts in their official report.

THE OLD SOROSIS CLUB AND ITS
 NEW PRESIDENT

of sorosis in all worthy efforts. and will defend them against calumny.
 will avoid doing anything that will in- jure the reputation of Sorosis.
 I will be a member of Sorosis as long as I can be useful to and receive benefit from the association.
 After the pledge was adopted as that of the club, Charlotte Wilbour said to her sister club women.
 Now. remember we've got to move for ward together"
 She saw with the clear vision of lover of her own sex that what they most needed thirty-hve years ago Is what they most need today-for women to stand by one another and uphold one another against the world.
 Illustrious names and splendid women Sorosis had among its first members. There were Alice and Phoebe Cary, Fan ny Fern, Celia Burleigh. Lilly M. Spencer and others known to art and literature. Phoebe Cary was chairman of Sorosis' executive committee in the clubs first year. Alice Cary served as its president before its incorporation. Emma Willard. pioneer in America of the higher educa- ton of women, was it's first honorary member. At the dinner of Sorosls in MATCH, 1o0o, IHeTS we're pTcSeut tuEly persons. members and guests. Now Soro- sis has 25O members.
 Fanny Fern was Sorosis first vice. president. Mrs. Wilbour knew her very well. as likewise her famous brother, N. P. Willis. Fanny Fern was a lady of the nervous temperament with a pleas ant, rather florid face. She was at that time gay widow, witty, brilliant and dashing, fond of socity and very att tractive member thereof.
 Once more Charlotte Wilbour says to her sister Sorosians, We've got to move forward together" She hopes and ex- poets that the old club will take active and direct part in the worlds work. edu- cational, philanthropic and sociological She herself has wide experience of the world. Twenty-seven years she lived in Paris--that Is, except in winter. Mr. Witbour was an Egyp.ologist. When the cold weather came he hied himself to the land of sphinx and pyramid. his wife with him. Fourteen winters Mrs. Wilbour spent in a dahabeah, or Nile houseboat sailing at will up and down the great river. She also lived awhile in Italy
 Mrs. WilbouF is a New England wo man. Her strong logical. liberal thought marches with the thought of all those who believe in and work for the better ment of the race. In electing her presi- dent Sorosis has taken a step in advance

NEW AND OLD ARMY RIFLES.
Extended Zone of Danger One of the Principal Advantages of Mod
 ern Weapons.


 Portland Express.
 The new army rifle which has now been formally adopted by the Secretary of War on the recommendation of the Chief of Ordnance. is distinctely an evolution It meets the demand for a weapon which is at once light, strong, easily manipulated, facile for magazine or single shot firing. and of great range and the fiattest possi- ble trajectory. In its size 1t Is practically a carbne.
 When the civil war was fought our in- fantrymen carried a prodigiously heavy musket, almost as long as a rake handle, discharging a huge conical ball of lead, which, if it should strike an elephant, was capable of crashing its way through the creatures body. The trouble was that when this ball was fired toward an enemy at a distance exceeding 100 yards it was necessary so to raise the sight that the that the missile was sent fin a parabola, and consequently was sure of striking any object only at the place of its descent. For distant firing the point of danger from the gun was a very small one indeed.
 This is far from being the case with the modern army rifle. It has exchanged the big old mimic ball for a tiny nickel plated missile. which may perforate mans body and do him but slight harm unless IL Strlkes Nilat oIBdH' Dut thc missile is discharged almost point blank to a distance of 1000 yards-that Is. prac- tically a dead level-and throughout it's course 1t may strike a man standing on the ground. With it's fellows. 1t creates a zone of fire which no man or body of men may enter with impunity.
 The new Springfield rife Is expected to increase the flat trajectory advantages of the Krag-Jorgensen, while overcoming certain cumbrous inconveniences of this weapon. It will also have the advantage ol being a home made American gun, whose exact behavior will not be so well known to a possible enemy. It will be the one American gun when it is ready the weapon of army. navy. and militia. It is businesslike and will be welcome.
