A Safe HidinQ Place,

When Patrolman George Piepen.
bring Of the First District drew his
salary the other day he picked out a
new crisp ten-dollar bill, and, rolling
1t into as small wad as possible,
rammed it into the bottom of his re-
volver holster, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer. Other policemen who had
been watching aim were puzzled at
this act and asked for an explanation.
At first he evaded, but finally, under
pressure, replied that his wife had a
deadly fear Of pistol. This explana.
ton seemed to be satisfactory, but in
view Of the fact that he has not been
married many months his friends are
wondering how he managed to catch
on so quickly. ...

that the advantages derivable from it
will be reduced weight, higher steam
efficiency and higher machinery effl-

Transmission Of Electricity.

Electrical transmission of energy
involves problems quite distinct from
its development. A great waterpower,
or a location where fuel is cheap, may
offer opportunity to generate electrical
energy at an exceptionally low rate
Of cost. This energy may be used so
close to the point Of it's development
that the cost of transmission is too
small for separate consideration, says
the Cassius Magazine.

looking from his companions face as
he talked, and of the philosophers

ALABAMA'S GREATEST STATE HAIR
 OPENS HERE ON NEXT THURSDAY
CHURCH OF THE ADVENT
 STIRRED OVER MR. EWING

The services at the Church of the Ad- vent yesterday were conducted by Lay Reader F. G. Powell Before the con- elusion of the morning service. Senior Warden Robert H. Pearson, explained the absence of the rector elect, the Rev. Quincy Ewing. He stated that the req son Mir Ewing was not present to take up his charge was on account of the unwill- ingness of Bishop Becllwith, to accept Mir. Ewing's clearance papers from Bishop Bratton of Mississippi Bishop Beckwith contends that these papers are not in can onical form, but 1t is thought the trouble lies in the fact that MT Ewing performed the marriage ceremony of the Rev. Charles Morris, in Greenvil1e. in June, 1901, while Mr. Morris had a divorced wife living. The bishop of Alabama, it is said, withholds his consent to the new rector on these grounds, while the vestry of the Advent are anxious to have MT Ewing begin his rectorship. The matter thus stands in abeyance, and MT. Ewing can not enter upon the duties at the Church of the Advent until the consent of Bishop Beckwith has been obtained.
 As to the Bishop.
 The members of the Church of the Ad- vent can not understand why Bishop
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-10-12

Beckwith should refuse to accept MT. Ewing's credentials, as the Morris divorce affair was thoroughly sifted as far back as 1901.
 The committee of investigation at that time passed a resolution to the effect that no presentment be made of the Rev. Mir Ewing of the charge of the marriage of the Rev. Charles Morris.
 The members of the church are wrought up against the bishop of this diocese, 1t is said, and intend to make a strong fight.
 One of the most prominent members of the vestry stated yesterday that as the congregation extended a call to MT. Ewing he resigned from his charge in Greenville and accepted the rectorship hene; and that laying aside the implicit confidence the vestry has in it's choice of a rector, 1t is in honor compelled to stick to him, and will do so to the end
 Much Talk.
 The whole affair has caused much talk in church circles, and gentleman stated that when he was in Greenvlle a short while ago he never heard Mir. Ewing name mentioned without expression of sim cere admiration and regard. In leaving Greenville MT. Ewing will leave friends, it is said, whose names are legion.

 Dr. o. T. Dozier and his son, Dr. Byron Dozier, are so well known that little need be said about them. They are al- ways on the alert and keep pace with the strides of science, and as a result their sanitarium is supplied with the most mod
 Their successful use of the X-ray in the treatment of various malignant growths, including cancer, has been the subject of much favorable comment even among their rivals in the medical pro- fession. The vapor baths are another branch to which much attention is de- voted, and the treatment of certain forms of disease with the baths has been ai- most uniformly successful.
 They are eager at all times to have the public call and inspect their sanitarium in order that they may see just how the work is carried on.

GAMBLING PLACE RAlDED. TWenty-three Men Arrested in Room
 Over Third Avenue Saloon.

A large and jucy game was raided last Saturday night by the police, and as the result twenty-three white men and one negro are expected to face Judge Feagin this week on a charge of gaming.
 The crowd was caught in the gambling room over Johnson's saloon, on Third avenue, between Nineteenth and Twen- tieth street, and they will probably plead guilty, as a policeman in citizens clothes had been in the room some time watch ing the game before the raiding party ar rived.
 It is said that when the raiders started up the steps bell in the room rang long and violently, and everyone made a break to get out, but they were stopped by the policeman, who had been in the room. The raiding party consisted of Policemen Bak- CT, Elledge and Lieutenant Johnston
