South We'll Adapted.

Professor Soule further stated that the south is well adapted to the raising of choice cattle of the best breeds. He said the conditions now are much better than they were before the raising of cattle became a science, and that by careful study of the conditions and the effects of various foods the breeds in the south could be made as good as elsewhere ana as profitable.
 In defense of the third portion of his paper, the capacity for maintaining the standard of beef cattle. Professor Soule said that the south may not have the natural advantages in the matter of grasses that certain other states have, yet there are other things that must not be overlooked which are favorable. He then introduced a table showing the ef- fects which various findings have on cows, as shown at the Tennessee experi- mental station.

 w. D. Wood, chairman of the commit tee on securing the endorsement of the business men for a railroad commissioner from Birmingham, reported that he was waiting for an action on the part of the Wholesale Grocers' association, and asked for more time which was granted him.
 A resolution was offered that the Board of Trade express itself as not being in favor of Bessemer's scheme to divide Jefferson county Into two smaller coun- ties, and that that city not be allowed a tax collector and assessor for several months in the year. This resolution was not acted on by the club, but was referred to the legislative committee. of which T. V. Boardman is chairman.

to Pursue.
 Many physicians who advertise to cure piles, without the aid of the knife, simply use Pyramid Pile Cure remedies They do so because they know 1t Is the best medicine for obtaining a proper combina- ton of the most scientific ingredients for the cure of piles.
 Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an experf- mental stage, but Is an established rem edy and is recognized and used by the best physicians In the country. Being in supposItory form. 1t reaches the trouble at once and the healing process is quick and effective; immediate results are ob- tained, and before the patient realizes tho fact he has recovered from the pain, suf- fering and irritation which this trouble causes.
 Children who suffer from this painful trouble obtain relief at once. It is we'll with a very young child to reduce the size of the suppository before using. However If children are afflicted with piles, they should be treated without delay or the trouble may become chronic. Hundreds of little ones have been cured with Pyradim Pile Cure
 The prevention of piles Is better than the cure and they can be prevented If only people would look to the regularity of the bowels and not become constipat- ed. Constipation and its attendant ills can be avoided by the use of Pyramid Pills. The proprietors of the Pyramid Pile Cure saw that 1t was necessary to use with the majority of their patients a mild non-irritating laxative, and the Pyramid Pills for constipation were the result of much careful thought and patient investigation. Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills are sold by druggists everywhere for fifty and twenty-five cents per package.
 A little book on the nature and cure of hemorrhoids or piles will be furnished free upon application to the Pyramid Drug Co.,, Marshal, Mich.

TO PREVENT BURGLARY.
Safe-opening Tools jealousy Guarded
Day and Night.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
I'VE have tools for opening safes said
the foreman of the machine room of a
safe factory that no burglar could imi-
tate even If he got them. But it would be
one Of the most difficult things in the
world for him to get even sight of them
The tool room Is guarded as closely as a
bank vault. A Waterman stays in 1t all
night. We are very careful about employ
ing our men, They must give bonds and
have the best Of references. The chances
Of a burglar getting into our employ for
the purpose of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about
Every frequently we have hurry calls for
man to open a safe where the timelOck
has gone askew or where the clerk has
forgotten the combination. You can read
pany 1t is an essential thing to have the
safe open before business begins. When
we send man out he takes a wagon load
OF tools. for he must open the safe with
out running the lock and he does not know
precisely what the trouble Is He car
ries a photograph of himself with our ere
dentials on it. Nor will he open the safe
while alone. Some bank official must
main with him no matter how long the job
takes. That Is for our own protection.
Some very queer alleged robberies have
been charged to men sent out to open
safes.
ITO mechanics in our business 1t is
laughable to read that a full kit of bur-
glars tools have been found beside a safe.
AS I have said 1t would require an ex-
press wagon to carry them and burglars
don't work that way II they care to take
chances by blowing up safe with dyna-
mite 1t Is another matter but those fellows
nearly always get caught.
"a police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. The big crooks are
all spotted and are afraid to go out and
buy the material for them. Some of them

place for them"

Plymouth Rock in Danger.

From the Chicago Tribune
Plymouth Rock is in danger. The people
OF ProvincetOwn and the Cape Cod Pilgrim
Memorial Association propose not only to
erect a large stone monument upon the
spot where first they trod," with beacon
light upon 1t which will shine thirty miles
out to sea. but to have the histories revised
50 that they truthfully shall show that the
pilgrims did not land first on Plymouth
Rock. but upon Provincetown Rock. and
that 1t was in ProvincetOwn harbor the
Mayt1ower found a safe haven. and in that
harbOr the famous compact was drawn
up. Probably If there were inha bitants on
Clark's island they. too. would put in a
prior claim. and Clarks Island rock, for
1t Is a matter of true history that some
pilgrims landed there also on their way
from Provincetown to Plymouth.
This Is not the worst. The Boston Ad-
vertiser goes far as to intimate that
what is now known Plymouth Rock was
five miles away from It's present location
Worse than this. that the people of Ply
mouth have carried rocks to the present
locality to keep up the tradition and, worse
still. that they are accused .'of selling sue
cessive Plymouth Rocks by piecemeal for
souvenirs. and of moving over a new stone
from a neighbOring pasture fast as the
old stone is broken up.

sentence committed and favorable recon-
mendations were made, it Is said. by three

A Model Prisoner.
Since his Incarceration in the District
Jail Hill has been a model prisoner War
den Harris and the guards speak Of him in
the highest terms and all express regret
that the efforts to obtain for him commu-
tation of sentence were not successful.
Throughout the time that Hills attorneys
have been exerting themselves in his be-
half the condemned man himself remained
absolutely unmoved. He did not express
himself as to his own wishes In the sub
ject. About three months ago he embraced
the Catholic faith and has been in confer
ence with Father Mcguire. his spiritual
adviser. ever since that time. In addition
to Father Mcguire. Rev John Roberts. the
colored minister. who is in constant attend
ance on the inmates of the Jail, visited and
talked with Hill and quite an intimacy
sprung up between the two men. Miss Ma
bel Fallon. one of the Christian workers
who spends a great deal of her time labor
ing among the inmates of the Jail and
workhouse, also gave considerable time to
Hill
Hills last days in Jail were spent as
quietly as though no such fate as the law s
sentence of death was hanging over him.
He passed most Of his time in reading
and in conversation with Father Mcguire
and the Jail officials. An excellent idea Of
his attitude be gained from his state
ment to Warden Harris, yesterday, to the
effect that he had not expected his SEN
tence to be committed and had made every
preparation for death. His demeanor has
surprised the Jail officials, who state that
he was one of the most remarkable prs-
OnerS they had ever seen.
To all, however. it was apparent that
Hill was laboring under a severe strain At
meal time he ate heartily of everything put
before him, but in a mechanical way that
showed he had little appetite and was
eating simply for the sake of his health and
his nerves.
The members of Lincoln Post No took
charge of the body this afternoon and 1t
will be Inferred privately at Arlington.
