 In the army system waving the flags to the right means a dot; to the left Q dash: and dropping directly in front Of the operator means space. If, the<efores the operator waves the flag once to the right an donce to the left he makes the letter a: if he waves 1t once to the left and three times to the right he makes the letter b, and if he waves 1t twice to the right. once down in frons and then once again to the right no makes the letter C.
 This reads like slow work. but 1t IA anything but slow, for the operators arc so skillful and quick in the use or the flag that they can give and receive the letters almost as fast as a teieBrapn operator can give and receive>ths clicks of his instrument
 The use of a strong field glass enables the receiving operator to read the sig- nals at great distance. When tt is necessary to signal at night Q torch iS substituted for the flag.
 Wigwagging in the navy Is done on the same general principle. but the numerals 1, 2, B. are used instead of dots and dashes. The letter a by this system is made by the numeraB, z, r tno Asttek by by 2, 2, 1. 2. the letter by l. zlsi the Ietterd by2. 2, 2. and so on.
 Waving the flag to the right means T. to the left means 2. and down the front means g. Two waves to the left, there fore, make the letter a; two waves to the left one to the right and one to the left make the letter b; one wave to the rights one to the left and one to the right. one to the left and one to right make c: three waves to the left make d. ana so on.
 The navy also uses a fiashiight and the steam whistle in combination with the numerals. A short flash or short niaGr of the whistle means |: two short flashes or two short blasts means 2. and long flash or a long blast means 3.
 Provision is thus made for signaling by day. whether the air be clear or foggy.

POOR FAMILY AIDED
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER OF
 MRS. HILL BURIED.
Secretary of Organised Charities Visits Humble Home and Ap-
 peals to People of Montgom- tI- cry to Help the Poor.

The announcement made by The Adver- tiser yesterday that two women had died In indulgence at Riverside Park Tusday morning struck responsive chord In the hearts of the people of Montgomery and money and other material benefits were sent yesterday to the iamiiy oi
 The employees of the Western Railway of Alabama contributed e purse of $10.25 and a philanthropic citizen supplied . mattress, some bed clothes and other comforts for the desolate home.
 The funeral of Mrs. Patience McLin, the venerable mother of Mrs. Hill and Miss Willie Holton Hill, her eldest daughter took place yesterday morning from Mrs. Hills home in Riverside. They were attended by neighbors and few persons from the city. Rev. J. A. Rice and Rev. E. c. Nave conducted the ser- vices. The interment of the bodies was in Oak Hill Cemetery.
 Mrs Hill, the only adult survivor of the family, has been helped by the com munity but more aid is needed and it is probable that more will be done to assist her. Her daughter. Miss Lizzie Hill. who is i'll. was somewhat improved yesterday.
 In an interview yesterday Gladden. Har- rison, Secretary of the Organized Chari- ties, said:
 Personal interest and financial sup port are imperatively needed fin larger measures, and I believe that the citizens of Montgomery will awaken to their duty with the deeper realization of the obliga- tions upon them. With our limited re- sources and small membership we have done a great work in reliaving hunger and suffering.
 ''There are many sympathetic and gem erous hearted persons who readily respond to a direct appeal. For instance. your pathetic notice in this mornings | Advertiser, of the death of two members | of one family caused one of Montgom- | ery's best men to give me $10.25 to carry | to that family, besides sending provis- | ions, bedding, etc. That family is only | one among the many in this city who are today suffering for the actual neces- sities of life. We are out of funds, and now the good women of the city are de- vising ways and means to raise funds to carry on this great and good work. '"The needs of starving men and wo- | men, the claims of the sick, the weak, the | wounded In life's battle are imperious and refuse to be waived, and the oppor- tunities for doing good were never bet- ter. Our prospects are bright and suc- cess only increases the demand for effort | and sacrifice, and sacrifice is the condi- | ton of success. We must not fail in the cause. for all failure is bitter and hard to
 bear when it follows closely on the reality of the hope of success"

Last Seen of Him Was in Birming-
 ham.
 The Advertiser published special from Talladega several days ago announcing the disappearance of James A. Huey, Clerk of the Circuit Court and City Court of Talladega It was thought that he would be found in New Orleans, but by the following from The Talladega Noun tain Home 1t would appear that his whereabouts are still unknown. The Home says:
 Saturday morning MT. Huey's friends teIegraphed to New Orleans for the au- thorities to take charge of him and hold him until friends could arrive and bring him back to Talladega. He could not be found in New Orleans or any trace of his having been there.
 Judge Samuel E. Greene of Birming- ham, came to Talladega Monday after noon. Judge Greene saw Mir. Huey at the baseball park in Birmingham Friday afternoon and talked with him for few moments Mir. Huey was in company with a gentleman unknown to Judge Greene. Mir. Huey has been Circuit Clerk of Talladega County for twenty-seven years and is one of the best known men In the State. As an official he was kind, courte- ous and obllging, and his strange conduct ia A matter of. deep concern to his friends. Two years ago his office was examined by the State Examiner and no irregulari- ties were found. and since that time the different grand juries have made favor ! able report as to the conduct of his office If he is behind with his accounts the fact is unknown to the public; and his most intimate friends believe the affairs of his office are comparatively correct.
 It will be remembered that on the 30tf of June MT. Huey attempted suicide, fol which rash act no explanation has evel been made, though 1t is believed tha he was suffering from some mental de rangement. due to his long confinemen in office.
 When MT Huey left TaIladega he hat less than slOO and did not take with hin any baggage.

TALKING WITH FLAGS.
How the Signal Corps Plays Part in
 Modern Warfare.

Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The signal corps plays very impor- tant part in modern warfare-so impor- tant that army and navy officers say they could not possibly do without it, In spite of the fact that great campaigns were carried on and great battles were fought before 1t was ever dreamed of
 There are several systems of signall- ing in use by the army and navy, the simplest of which is that commonly call ed wig -wagging," a term that was in vented for it. Nearly every one knows, perhaps, that the signalling Is done by means of small flags. but a brief descrip- ton of how the flags are handled to con- vey message may not be without in- terest. .~
 The system is an adaptation of the Morse dot and dash telegraph alphabet, the different movements of q flag taking the place of the dots and dashes. By the Morse alphabet the letter 6 is represent
