riosity of red tape for which Queen Anne's bounty is responsible-or. rather. was responsible. for the document IS some years old. The bounty of1ce has to pay this gentleman . shilling year on account of tithe which has been re- deemed. It remits the money half yearly by post in the shape of warrant drawn on Messrs. Coutts. beading penny stamp. and they accordingly deduct "a. for each remittance, so that each of these war rants is made out for the sum of 4d. I gather that the recipient ootected to this deduction. as 8 postal order could be sent to him annually at a cost of 1-2d. As each remittance of 4d. would also cost him a penny to send it either to Messrs. Coutts or his own bankers, I can sympathize with his objection. However, on the strength of his objec- ton the office has for many years ceased to remit him any money at all. It Is comfort to know that Queen Annes bounty office is not likely to exist much longer.

 Receiver and to Enforce a Claim
 Appeal from the Chancery Court of
 Mobile.
 Bill for the appointment of a re- ceiver and to enforca claim of lien. when priority of lien not shown to exist -One who had sold stock of drugs and certain furniture and fixtures upon which he received part payment in cash and for the balance took a note which recited that this note Is secI-ed by first lien on the drugs, furniture and fixtures re- gently bought" of the seller filed a bIu In which he averred said sale and that the possession of property had been de- nvered to the purchaser, a corporation that alter said purchase said corpora ton carried on the business in the usual course of trade, but was, at the time of the filing of the bill in failing cIrcun- stances; that all of the furniture and fv- lures, and much of the stock remained In the store; but that the president and sec retary of said corporation were removing or wasting said stock and that little would be left to the satisfaction of com plainants Hen unless there was re- ceiver appointed and said officers were entoined from further waste. It was fur
 
 the actions complained of were in fraud Of all the creditors of said corporation. and that the complaint, therefore. filed said bill in his own behalf and in behalf or all other creditors of said corporation who might come in and contribute to the expenses of the suit. The prayer of the bill was for an injunction and the ap pointment of a receiver to take charge of the property manage and sell the same under the orders of the court for the enforcement of complainant's lien and for general relief Held: That said hill could not be maintained for the enforce ment of the lien. the identity of the prop erty alleged to have been covered by the lien not being shown, since a right of priority as to an unde1ned part does not give such right to a whole of the f,,nd or of property. and further that the hjlI being filed as a general creditors bill no one of the creditors is entitled to pri- ority as to his claim over the claims or other creditors.

Willing Hands and Feet

wonder which of us has ever walked eleven and a half miles a day on errands of mercy? Yet many young women ana girls do far greater distances than that at every ball and dance at which they enjoy their pleasure. says The Cathonc Mirror. Most young ladies shrink from the idea of walking five miles and three quarters to any place and back again; and yet how merrily the light fantastic toe" trips its measure, scorning fatigue, or at any rate putting of the drought of 1t until tomorrow morning! Many del- icate dnmsel, mot strong enough" for long walks. will feel perfectly well able to waltz. Now, an average waltz taxes a dancer about three-quarters of a mile; a square dance makes her cover half mile. girl with a well-flled program travels thus in one evening: Twelve waItzes, nine miles; four other dances. at half a mile apiece (which is hardly a big estimate), two miles more. The in- termediate strolls and trips to the dress ing-room to remove her toilet, etc., say, half mile more; grand total, eleven and a half miles.
 Far be 1t from me to depreciate any healthy and innocent recreation; but might not the limbs capable of this ex- ertion sometimes find that wholesome
 
 homes of the aged, the lonely, the suffer- ing? An. what sunshine bright young face brings into mourning house!
 Then the hands. Those useful tools too often lie In the lap while the vacant mind is full of foolish dreams. Ten minutes a day redeemed from wasted time" will provide six good undergarments in the course of a year. Half an hour would nake an outfit for an orphan or girl go- ing into service In he same time. One cannot always be drudging! That is the greatest possible mistake-the notion of fussng continually about some business. It makes people conceited. out of sorts in body and mind melancholy, Irritable! But. then, so does want of occupation. Let us try to strike balance. Begin with the ten minutes a day; you will reach the half hour in time And if we can't manage eleven and half miles in day, supposing one were to begin with humble half-mile walked towards some desolate abode which may be left the brighter by a smile, a gentle word, tiny good deed.

SECOND MULE MARKET
BIG BUSINESS IS DOME IN MONT.
 0OMERY.
Ten Thousand Head Sold Here Dur ing the Season and Tramc ts Increasing-Brought Here
 from Kentucky.

Montgomery is conceded to stand second in rank to Atlanta, Ca, the largest mule market in the South.
 It Is estimated by the largest oealers in the city that at the end of the present season which will be about June lst there will have been sold in Montgomery spous 10000 mules. This estimate is conssrva- tive and substantial
 There are about eight mule dealers In Montgomery both wholesale and retail and while Q few of them were reluctant in making statements of their sales, other reliable ones talked freely Of the situa- ton.
 While this number of sales is not by any means equal or close to the numoer of mules sold in Atlanta 1t is larger than the number sold in any other Southern city.
 The season for mule trafic is from Sep tember 1 untn June l, and this estimate is placed on the amount of sales made during the intervening months. A few Of the dealers say that this was slight increase over tho number of the long cared specimens sold here the past sea- son, but there Is very nttle difference If any.
 The majority of these sales have been made already. It is said that very little mule traffic will be done during the last few months of the season.
 The greater portion of these mules are brought here from Kentucky and Ten nessee. Very few are raised in the ter ritory surrounding Montgomery and other Alabafna towns.
 The average selling price of mules is from s11o to 18 each, said a reliable dealer, and 1t is readily seen by these figures that this business in Montgomery amounts to a great many dollars an- nually.

Americans in Italy.
Washington Star.

 There are. indeed. very substantial req sons why the Italians should have a good opinion of Yankees. The matter of their prosperity, even solvency, is very closely concerned. Twenty-Five thousand Amer leans visit Italy every year, I am told, and it is estimated. conservatively. that they leave behind them between 2S,0Oo. 900 and 30. 600 of dollars. To nation that Is still poor and struggling out of the dire poverty of the past, nation the interest on whose debt absorbs 4S per cent. of the revenue, whose people are taxed fully one-third of their visible in- come. these s25, ,OoO 600 or $3OoOo,OoO are a very considerable item.
 Even if there was any real race en- mity or international hatred they would scarcely care to kill the goose that lays this extremely golden egg. Many of the hotels and boarding houses of Florence and Rome and Venice would be depopu- lated if Americans took 1t into their heads to visit Italy no longer. and the cafe and curio shops would be lonely and deserted. indeed

 Editor The Advertiser.
 ..In a statement published in your paper today, purporting to come from me, there is error on two points that would like corrected.
 .I have no knowledge that J. O. Thomp- son requested conference of negroes. on November 8 l was telegraphed by Ad Wimbs that he would be at my once to see me that morning. When he called he requested me to go to Nathan Alexander office to confer with Mir Thompson who particularly wished to confer with me as a member of the committee of excluded delegates Your reporter is also wrong in the intimation that there was any pur- pose or desire to organize negro Repub- lican Party.
 ..The purpose was to effect Republican organization along old and well estab- lished lines-repudiating the so-called lilly white organization, which reversed all traditions, principles and sentiments of Republicanism in drawing the color line on political issues. To have organized negro party would have been to draw the color line ourselves and to have given force and effect to the lilly white mon- strosity.
 Tn other respects the statements made by your reporter are substantially correct Thanking you for courtesy in making this correction, I am respectfully IS. s. H.

vinol does create strength.

Vinol does create strength.
 We know that and have proved 1t in many instances.
 The reason Vinol rejuvenates and Strengthens a person is that it acts directly upon the stomach, strengthen ing and toning up this great vital organ Rnd enabling it to obtaiN for itself, from the food that is taken into it, the clements which are required to make firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue, sound bone structure and pure healthy blood.
 Vinol does this in scientific way and is enabled to do it because it con- fin highly concentrated state, the act i've principles of cod-liver oil.
 Vinol does not contain any of the grease that formerly characterized cod, liver oil, hence is free from all the otl jectionable features which made it ins- possible for patients to take or retail that vile-smelling remedy into ther stomach.
 vinol in its favorable action upn the stomach and other organs of tie body acts also in a beneficial way ufen the nerves and brain, and will be found to be invaluable to brain workrs as we'll as body workers.
 The following letter is from fell- known authoress. It reads as folSws:
 "I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the Vinol and testify to its reat benefits. Since taking it am much improved in health. and during he in- tense heat of last August shcah not have been able to continue in nyiter- ary work if it had not been or the strengthening properties of Vinol.
