MORE GAR LOADS OF
 HORSES WILL COME
LONG STRING WILL COME FROM LEXINGTON THIS WEEK-LOCAL GLASSES ALL WELL FILLED. SOME HORSES.

Two more carloads of horses for the horse show will probably be here this week. Information has been received from Lexington, Ky, stating that J. T. Crankshaw would send his fine string of gaited saddlers, and that a number of other owners of fine horses have agreed to send theirs.
 The local classes are filling up rapidly, and there are probably more horses en- tered by local people than have ever been entered in any horse show in the south. The only class that has not filled well Is that of "a lady on horseback accom- panied by man."
 Among the pretty horses purchased for the show was Lady in Black. George G. Phillips bought her several days ago at a fancy price, and since that time has had several fattering offers for her. She has been seen by several ladies in Br- mingham who are judges of horse flesh and they are all anxious to purchase this little black beauty. She will be ridden by Johnny Phillips, who will also have charge of The Arrow, the famous jumper, be- longing to MT Phillips; Jay Brd( a walk, trot and canter animal Creole, pony, the horses of IT.

ROOSEVELT HAS

SNOW STORM. oVERTAKEs THE PRESIDENT AND HE MAY HAVE TO UNDERGO SOME HARpsHlPs. PEOPLE ARE DISAPPOINTED.

Yosemite. Cal, May 16.-Presldent Roosevelt has not been heard from today. He is supposed to have been in the viein- ity of Glacier Point this morning, but there was no word from him to Secre- tary Loeb when his party reached the Sentinel hotel here this afternoon
 Snow fell today in the mountains in which the President is supposed to be, and the weather became quite cold. Should the weather become too cold to- night for outdoor camping there are a number of shanties located in different parts of the mountains in which the President could spend the night quite comfortably
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Pres- ident could spend the night quite com fortably
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Pres ident, before leaving Washington, out lined the programme he was to follow during his stay in the Yosemite, the Yo- semitic park commission decided that they should follow another programme, which they adopted without consulting him. This latter programme provided for fire works. the firing of dynamite to produce loud reports and the participation by the President in some sort of a public eere- mony Without the Presidents knowledge this programme was circulated broadcast and people came Into Yosemite from hun dreds of miles away to see him. When they found that the President was not to be there their disappointment was very great.
 The President was not told of this pro- posed condition in the programme until yesterday, and even then he was not told the people were coming from such long distances to see him. As he was tired out as the result of the hospitality of San Francisco, he decided that he would ad- here to the original plan ana spend the next few days in seclusion.

Mobile, Ala, May 16.-General Counsel E. L. Russell declares there is no reason to believe the report current that General Manager c. S. Clark of the Mobile and Ohio is to be succeeded by J. N.

 One of the strongest signs that the rail- road has the strike broken is the rescind- ing of the order of April as to accep- tance of perishable freight by the Mobile and Ohio. Beginning Sunday at noon perishable freight will be accepted at all points.

SHAMROCK A FINE CRAFT.
Undoubtedly the Best Cup Challenger
 That Was Ever Built.

London, May 16-The introduction to the story of the Americas cup race of 1903 will be closed when the Shamrocks are docked at Greenask for dsmantling. An expert analysis of the new challen- gers work during the trials on this side of the Atlantic proves that she is un- doubtedly the best challenger ever built, and her friends go even further and as- sert that in the weather and under the conditions prevailing during her trials she is the fastest cup challenger ever pro- duced.
 There has been no opinion, however, to judge of her sailing qualities in a heaty sea and wind. The trials were one sidrd, all being fine weather sailing with os casionally fresh breeze. but never wind enough to break the spray over the bows. Hence, winds of over ten knots strength may find the challengers weakness

Postal Clerks Claim Government Owes

Tuscaloosa, May 16.-(SpeciaD. MT D. D. Nicholson, postal clerk, who lives in this city, and runs on the Alabama Great Southern railroad between Chattanooga, Tenn, and Meridian, Miss, says that the postal clerks of the United States have a very unique claim against the United States postoffice department for actual and necessary expenses while on duty in each of their respective runs, and that no clerk, while in service. has ever been paid for this expense. This claim is be- ing pushed by law firm of Kansas City and will be tried before the United States Court of Claims at Washington. The claim is based upon the following section of the postal laws and regulations:
 Section 1899. Article IL-Chief clerks and railway postal clerks shall be paid their actual and necessary expenses while &C., tually travelling on business of the de- partment and away from their designated headquarters
 The claim will amount to something like s14,000 GOO.

CANNOT DO WITHOUT con.

BY Rev. r. j. Campbell
''The Lord spaiie unto Moses face to
face as man speaketh unto his
friend"
We cannot do without God. The
mental and spiritual mood of America
Is one Of craving The need OF the
hour is new, fresh assurance that
God does commune with His servants.
That is the reason there are so many
listeners to the prophets &c fantastic
doctrines in this country. Men are
eager to listen to the voice Of the man
who speaks with authority, even
though that authority be spurious.
When we are most alone we are
least alone. When we find our souls
we are in communion with God. 1t
has been the custom to criticise the
rugged religion of the Puritan fathers
without giving them credit for It's
strength. That strength came from
the fact that they knew, each by each,
the God whom they served. They en-
dured hardship and trouble unfiinch-
ingly because they had found their
God. In their days devotion was best
expressed in solitary prayer. Now we
are dependent on the testimony of 9TH
ers. This is the day of conventions. of
great meetings, to listen to some one
else interpret his experiences in re-
ligion.
How shall we get this face to face
communion which GU. souls need? We
must come to Him \ no has witnessed
the Father. We have come to believe
that Christ had the secret of religion,
of truth. If any one can lead us into
the Presence, it is Christ Christ had
the vision of the Highest. God is;
Christ has Him. We have Christ.
There are other ways Of finding
truth than the beating out Of induetive
arguments touching the realities of
life. You must bring something to the
Vision or it win pass you by. We feel
that Christ makes a certain demand
upon our reason and our hearts be
c use of His intimacy with the human
soul. His words never grow old. His
teaching keeps pace always with hui
man experience.
The craving after God only God can
satisfy. If you would find Him, COM
mune with Him, be as a little child
simple, direct, sincere. Remember He
is not afar off. but very near Speak
to Him face to face. Every man can
make cell of his soul and raise an
altar there.
l suppose that there must be broken
hearts. My own countrymen are some
what gloomy in their outlook on life.
but here you are buoyant and cheerful
as IL defiant of fate. But sometimes
even you must feel as il the sun ought
not to shine. Then is the time that
you need God. and then no spiritual
leader can help you. Then you need
individual communion with God, 'sface
to face. as a man speaketh to his
friend Bow down, though under the
cross-the cross will raise you and
Christ win hear you--the Christ of
Galiiee, of to-day, of eternity. the
Christ who said: Come unto Me all
We that labor and are heavy laden and
| will give you rest"
