DRY Go0pS.

New York, Oct 15.-The dry goods
market shows little inclination to buy
for future wants. but a good deal is
being done in the way of prompt
shipments on orders which are behind
hand. More or less irregularity exists
with regard to prices, especially in
Southern goods, but in a good many
lines concessions are not being made.

Baxter and Co.'S ootton Letter.

New York, Oct. 15,-The weather
news this morning while not exciting
was interesting inasmuch as it showed
very low temperatures in the North
west where freezing weather in South
west usually follows. Gables were
rather good. The receipts were not
running up to expectation or rather
they failed to pick up as was CON-
sidered they might and it may be said
that until they do nobody will deem it
wise to be short of the market. 1t is
now certain that October receipts VII
be much under last years figures,
which exceeded 100000 bales. The

First Aid for Injured Animals.

A West Philadelphia physician is writ ing an intersting and valuable little book that he Intends to call First Aid to In- jured Animals" The book deals with the treatment of the common accidents that happen to dogs. cats and horses. 1t shows how 50 per cent. of the deaths that occur among domestic animals are due to the mistaken treatment that these an- imals receive in the interim between their falling i'll and the veterinary surgeons g arrival. The physician said yesterday: Take the case of a valuable dog, for in stance. Dogs frequently choke. A bone. a nail. or a piece of tin gets in tnelr throat, and there is great danger of their dying before the surgeon comes. Many of them do die. but there is no reason for this. For it is easy. without the slightest danger of being bitten. to put the hand into the mouth of a dog and to draw or push down the obstruction that Is killing him. 4 bandags-a hand kerchief or a towel will do-is passed between the teeth and over the under jaw. One person holding the ends of two bandages keeps the dogs mouth wide open; second person can then. with per feet ease and safety. put his fingers down the animals throat and relieve him. There arc hundred emergencies like this one-jUst as dangerous and just as easily treated. In my hook it is my purpose to describe all these emergencies and thus I hope to save many animals lives"

 It will be remembered that the negroes were brought to the jail Tuesday night

THE LIBRARY
 IS ACCEPTED Trustees Receive Hand- some Library Building PRACTICALLY COMPLETED Opening Exercises to Take
 Place Next Week. Imposing Structure Erected at Cost of $5o,ooo is One of
 the Handsomest in
 the South.

The Board of Trustees of the Carnesie Library of Montgomery, at a meeting yes terday, formally accepted the recently completed building from the contractors. The plans for the formal opening of the Carnegie Library to the public of Mont gomery have not been definitely made, but 1t Is very probable that the opening cer- emonies will be observed sometime next week.
 While the exterior of the building has been finished for some time, the interior work has been only recently completed and the attention of the Board will be turned immediately to the improvement and care of the grounds. The board fence which at present surrounds the lot and gives a ragged view to the handsome stone and brick building, will be removed and every effort will be made to make the grounds pretty and attractive with green lawns and flowers.
 The building which cost $5000O, the gift of Andrew Carnegie to the citizens of Montgomery, is one of the most imposing structures in the city and is a credit to Montgomery and the State of Alabama.
 As soon as possible, the work of re- moving the books and furniture from the present library rooms to the new building will be started.
 The annual appropriation of 5000 by the City Council of Montgomery for the main- tenance of the Carnegie Library, agreed upon by the City Council about two years ago in a resolution passed authorizing that amount for the yearly expenditure will very probably be made for the ini- tial year at the next meeting of the Council.
 Within a short time. the people of Montgomery will have the opportunity of selecting reading matter from one of the best equipped and handsomely appointed libraries in the South.

The Biggest Brains.

It has been discovered recently from the measurement of thousands of Flu ropean skulls that the Scotchman has the largest brain and the Englishman the sec ond in size. says the Golden Penny. Gu riously the third most brainy individual, as regards volume merely. is the Eskimo, coming even before the German or the Frenchman. South African negroes and Malays have more brain matter than Mexicans. Very low down in the scale are the Hottentots. North American h. dians and the native Australians and at the very bottom is the Andaman Islander. A Scotchman's skull holds 1880 centime- ters of matter, and the Englishman's holds 1,570; Germans only 1.5O. and when We come down to the Andaman Islander we have a capacity of only HOO.

BOOKS HAVE NO ERRORS
TAX COLLECTOR GEORGE W
 HALLS IS CONTAMINATED.
Assistant Examiner Rutledge in Last Report Speaks Highly of Tax
 Books of Montgomery 1s-' County.

In his last report as assistant examiner of public accounts, T. J. Rutledge, com pliments and commends the office of tax collector George W. Halls of Montgomery county, and his deputy, Charles B. Tease ly.
 The examination by Mir. Rutledge of the tax collectors books covered the tax year of 1902. MT. Rutledge had in the spring examined the books of Tax Assessor A. H. Eubanks. They were found to be without errors.
 The examination of Collector Hails'e books after the work of the tax year is finished, brings the tax books of Mont gomery county up to date, without err TOTS and with no need for explanations.
 The. assistant examiner speaks highly of the business methods and clerical work in the ofiice of Tax Collector Halls. Mont gomery county is the second largest tax paying county in Alabama. Jefferson county only exceeds it in the amount of taxes paid. The great amount of taxes due on Montgomery county property has been collected recorded and properly dis tributed without an error. MT. Rutledge's report in full, is as fol- lows: <..
 Examination and check of the books of the bffice show that the tax collector has been properly charged on account of the general assessment for the year 1902"
 'I have also checked his records of es- caped taxes for the same period aIid find that 1t agrees with the abstract furnished the Auditors ofice.
 T have also checked over his collection of poll taxes for the same year and find the same correct.
 T have checked and examined the list of errors and insolvencies for the year 1902 and find the same to be correct and that the proper order has been entered upon the minutes of the Board of Reve- nue of Montgomery county. giving him credit for the amount and for the taxes in litigation during the same period.
 MT. George W. Halls and MT. Charles B. Teasely. his deputy. are each faithful and competent officials and am pleas ed to report that the business of this ofice is well conducted and in fine con- dition."
 MT. Rutledge will on Friday assume the duties Of State bank examiner to which office he was recently appointed by the Governor.

On a preliminary hearing with the same witnesses who afterwards appeared be- fore the City Court the Recorder dis charged the accused believing that there was not sufficient evidence to hold him. He was afterwards tried in the City Court and it was set up that the evidence be- fore that court by the same prosecuting witnesses was out Of harmony with the evidence before the Recorder Judge Semmes, the trial judge. from letter among the papers. evidently thought that there was some doubt of the mans guilt and recommends pardon which is order ed"

Applicants Will Be Examined in All
 Counties

counties.
 Applicants for teachers license under the laws of Alabama will be examined in the early part of next week in every county in Alabama. Three days, Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday will be devoted to the examination of the teachers.
 The questions for the examination have been prepared by the State Examining Board, composed of State Superintendent I. w. Hill, Prof. w. B. Feagin and Miss J. Micheline Bishop. These questions have been sent out to every county superin- tendent of education in Alabama.
 The county superintendents will have charge of the direct examinations of the teachers. They will open the questions sent out by the State Board and submit them to the teachers. The superintendents will also collect the answers and send them into the State Board. who will pass finally upon the qualifications of the ap- plicants.
 It is not expected that there will be as many applications for licenses as there were at the examination last summer The summer examination in point of numbers broke all previous records.
