POOLE AGAIN ROUTED
COUNCIL ADJOURNED WITHOUT
 CoNsIDERING REPORT.
Alderman Failed to Get Proposition to Buy Materials for Fire
 Department Before
 City Fathers.

In his effort to purchase materials for the Montgomery Fire Department before the new Council goes into office on Octo- Der 19. Alderman James Toole was again defeated yesterday evening. the City Council adjourning without considering his pet measure.
 It will be recalled that a report direct ing the City Treasurer to advertise for bids for hose and two hose wagons was about to be adopted al a special meeting of the Council Thursday, evening, when Aldermen Gaston Gunter and Ray Rush. ton left the Council Chamber, thereby breaking a quorum. Thereupon the Coun- ell adjourned on motion of Alderman Toole until 6 o'clock yesterday evening, when Alderman Toole hoped to get his measure through the Council.
 Ten Aldermen were present at 6 o'clock yesterday evening when Alderman Kohn. in the absence of Alderman Fleming. called the Council to order. It was not the same crowd of Aldermen. however. who pursued the filibustering tactics Thursday evening.
 Those present were Aldermen Kohn. Toolc. Anuerson. Mcintyre. Rushton. May. Farley. Hudson. Johnson and Gunter.
 MT. President, said Alderman Rush. ton immediately after the roll was called. T move that the Council adjourn until Monday evening"
 Alderman Toole took in the situation. The motion was, of course. not debatable. and Alderman Toole actually smiled at the turn of affairs.
 No one called for the ayes and nays. Not even Alderman Toole had the heart to vote against such an innocent motion, and it was adopted unanimously.
 "I understand they will not let the old Council have another meeting" said AL derman Toole when the Council had ad- journed. But we will see Monday even ing; we will see."

 sissippi Clergyman Owing to Doctrinal Polnt.

Birmingham, Oct. s.-(Special. )-The ac- tion of the Church of the Advent. the leading Episcopal Church of this city. in calling Rev. Quincy Ewing of Greenvile, Miss, to its rectorship, has precipitated what threatens to be a warm fight be- tween the vestry of the Church of the Advent and Bishop c. M. Beckwith of the Alabama diocese.

Ewing coming here, because the latter some two years ago, performed the marriage ceremony of a minister who was divorced and whose wife was living. This occurred at Vicks- burg, Miss. It is said that this matter was investigated by the late Bishop Thompson of Mississippi who did not dis approve of MT. Ewing's action. Now 1t Is stated that Bishop Beckwith has re- opened the case and refuses to let MT. Ewing come here unless the charge is cleared up.
 The vestry of the church here arc said to be much wrought over the matter. having taken MT. Ewing's side and are endeavoring to confer with the Bishop. who is in South Alabama. Meanwhile, MT, Ewing has accepted the call to Birminx ham and is announced to preach here next Sunday.

Alabama Interest Will Center in Re- suit of Today's Contest in Nashville-Some of Other
 Contests.

Today is one of interest to football en- thusia sts of the South It will mark the beginning of the Intercollegiate season in this section and until Thanksgiving Day the knowing ones will figure cham pionship possibilities from today's re- suits.
 The game on which Alabama interest centers Is the Vanderbi1t- Alabama game at Nashville, although the results of the Georgia Tech-Mercer, and the Nashville Cumberland games will both be watched.
 Last Saturday Cumberland showed sur prtsng strength by defeating Vanderbilt by a decisive score and if tine heavy Nashvillians cannot show better against the Cumberlanders than did the Com modores. the formerly unrecognized team of the smaller Tennessee college will be potent factor in Southern football.
 On the Vanderbilt labama game no line can be drawn It may have been that the Commodores played last Satur- day under trying conditions and the Cum their correct form. On the other hand if the Alabamians succeed in lifting the game. 1t will add no little to the assurance of the packers of the State University. Positively nothing is known of the team from Tuscaloosa except that 1t Is even lighter than usual. The report comes from the University. however, that the team has been doing conscientious train that they will show decidedly more speed than formerly.
 Both Vanderbilt and the University suf- fered heavily by losing prayers through graduation this year. Edgerton, who was the star of the South last year. when he was VanderbIlt's full back. is out of the game as Is the speedy Simmons and the giant Cvutch1eld. Alabama lost Stickney. Burns and Daniels, who were the mainstays of the Tuscaloosa team.
 The result of the Mercer-Tech game sems to be a foregone conclusion. The Mercians have done but little prelimi- AN.- .A-.. while reports from the Georgia Tech in- dicate that t6e Atlantians have been de- voting no little time to putting out a creditable team. However some line may be drawn on the Tech team, which will indicate the strength of Auburn. whom the Techs will meet in the near future.

RATHER HAVE THE MONEY.

The business methods of insurance
companies are not all to the liking Of
shrewd old German farmer with
whom a certain agent had some deal
ings. The house of the farmer, insur-
ed for two thousand dollars, had burn
ed down, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat The privilege of replacing a
burned house is reserved by insurance
companies, and the agent, having this
in mind, said to the farmer:
We'll put you up better house than
the one you had for six hundred dol
lars"
'Nein" said the farmer, emphatic
ally. II will hat my one tousand dol
lar or notings! Dot house could not
be built again for even a tousand.'
"Oh, yes, it could" said the insurance
man. 1T was an old house. 1t doesn't
cost so much to build houses nowadays
A six-hundred-dollar new house would
be lot bigger and better than the old
one"
Some months later, when the in
surance man was out for days shoot
ing, he rode up again to the farmers
place.

here" he said, ito see If you wanted

farmer-''notings but my wife"

termination, IF she die, you come out

sand dollar. 1 get you a bigger und a
better wife for six hundred. No, sir;

Shah's Tooth Pulled by Proxy.

A story Is being told in Paris of the
shah which savors more of previous
monarch than of the present occupant
of the Persian throne. When he went
over to France the shah suffered from
toothache, and so dentist was sum-
moned to remove the offending tooth.
But like less exalted mortals, the shah,
when he found himself face to face
with the dentist, discovered that his
toothache had disappeared, and SO alb
solutely refused to be operated on.
However. his majesty declared that he
did not wish the dentist to lose his
time, and so commanded that tooth
should be extracted from each Of his
suite He said this with his eyes on
the ground, and then, suddenly looking
up, found, to his intense amusement,
that all his ministers and staff had
quietly slipped away except the grand
vizier, whom he complimented upon be-
ing the only one faithful enough to
undergo little discomfort for his SOW
ereign's sake, and then dismissed the
dentist with a present.-New York

Tact.

The wise lawyer adapts himself to
the jury more than the evidence. An
Illinois man cites his own case as an
illustra ton. The evidence was con-
elusive, the law was on his side, and
when the attorney arose to address the
jury, he thought he had the case won.
He briefly reviewed the evidence, sta
ted the law in the case, and was about
TO close his argument, when he noticed
that one of the jury, stOlid old farmer
did not seem to be with him. The
other eleven men had already decided
the ease in their own minds, but the
farmer was both stupid and obstinate.
The lawyer went over the case again,
trying all sorts of arguments, but the
farmer preserved his stupid stare
Then the attorney tried new tack. He
repeated his argument until he came
TO place where the opposing lawyer
had made an egregious error, and then
he leaned over to the old farmer and
said:
"And there, my friend, that's whei Il
he dropped his watermelon"
The old farmer laughed outright, and
from that moment the case was won.
