Letter to Contractor 0ardebled.

Dear Sir: The cost OF labor in paint
ing house is three times the cost of the
paint. You seem to save a little when
you buy a lower priced paint, but you
certainly add to the cost of labor when
you buy for spreading more gallons,
You don't even save on the paint. De
Voc Lead and Zinc costs little more
than mixed paints, but it takes fewer
gallons, and the cost is actually less.
Wears longer too-longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil.
You dol' are cent.
Mr.. G. Loeb, painter in Magnolia
Miss, writes;
After years of experiments with mix
ed paints, find that your paint covers
more surface to the gallon than any
have ever used. For density and wear
ing qualities it cannot be excelled.
Compared with lead and Oil: A house
belonging to the late President of the
! Croton River Bank, at Brewsters, New
York, (cost S3i ,000) was painted with
lead and oil in "a at cost of S400. In
1S87-three years later-it was repaint-
ed with Devoe at cost OF $3.50. In '9T
the house was still all right.
Results: lead and oil--cost $500, wear
three years; Devoe-cost $3.50, wear ter
years.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEyOE C CO.,

ELLERY'S BAND AGAIN MUSICAL ORGANIZATION MADE

 Montgomery Musicians.

The two performances yesterday, matt nee and night, at the Montgomery Thea tre by Ellery's Royal Italian Band were such as to surpass the expectations of the most enthusiastic admirers of this band of artists.
 The wonderful performances given by the band when it spent several days in Montgomery last season and at every performance filled the Auditorium to over flowing, made many friends for the mu- sical organization.
 The audiences which heard the band yesterday and last night were not so large as they should have been. Musicians who failed to attend missed a treat. FL lery's band this season is as good as 1t Emilio ,ARivela, is new, but the band is practically the same.
 During the year of Its absence from Montgomery the band has improved in technical proficiency showing the splendid training of it's new director, Rivela. He demonstrates in his work and in his per

The bids must be sealed and deposited
 with the Secretary of State, and shal conform in all respects to the provisions set forth in the act.

A decision was required to be delivered by o'clock the following morn ing. 300 miles from New York, and 1t was then o'clock at night. On receiving the facts over the wire at his home in East Orange, MT. Dills first step was to send for two automobiles. One machine was dispatched for a stenographer. The other conveyed a message to a clerk, telling him to get ready to leave the city at once. Mr. Dill finished dictating his opinion just sixteen minutes before the New York train was scheduled to leave a sta- ton four miles from Mir. DilPs house. The automobile. with the clerk aboard. covered the distance in thirteen minutes Another automobile was telephoned for to meet the clerk at the New York end.

 New York, March 1S.-Captain Piper, second deputy police commissioner is trying the London plan to regulate tariff on the streets here. and at least the truck men are meek. He assigned rounds man Daniel Costigan. who has studied the system in London, to the corner Canal Street and Broadway to teach the police men stationed there how the London con- stables regulate traffic. Additional roundsmen have been detailed to do similar services at other congested cor- ners.
 It was interesting to watch Rounds man Costfgan at work with the new code He stood in tho centre of Broadway at Canal Street and gave signals to his four aides wtfh hAs whistle. When he whistled once 1t was the signal to stop the vehicles on BPoadway to let those on Canal Stret move either across Broadway or to turn into Broadway from Canal When he wtlfStFed twice. tho vehicles in Canal Street had to stop and those in Broadway moved back and forth across Canal or turned into that street
 To the surprise of Costtgan he found that the hitherto obstreperous truckmer were quick to understand the new order of things. They saw that the new cod< was of material benefit to themselves and until the order to go on.

ELEPHANT DIES AT SEA.
Body of lingo, Weighing Six Tons,
 Cast Overheard,


 New York. March 1S.-The elephant lingo, said to have been larger than Jumbo. died at sea on the steamer Geor- sic. which arrived today from Liverpool. The animals death occurred March 12 and the huge body was buried at sea. An animal show bought lingo in London. The elephant had not travelled since in fancy. and from the time of sailing at Liverpool 1t fretted and pined away.
 Jinsto was 22 years old, 12 feet high, weighed six tons and was valued at S50,- GOO
 For sixty hours preceding its death. the mammoth beast trumpteded without ceas- in1 and twice knocked down its keeper, Thomas Lawrence, who attempted tc pacify it.
 The cries of the elephant aroused the leopards and tigers, which were on the ship, and they, too. joined in the cry which for three days kept the crew of the Georgic on its guard. Each day passed lingo seemed to grow weaker and he souirmed in his narrow cage in an enort to get out. He was securely chained in such a position in the aft hatchway that escape was impossible.
 On the fifth day out the animals con- d,tion was suoh. that Lawrence gave him whiskey and kept him under the infiu. ence of whiskey for almost three days It was then that lingo became more sav' age than ever and began trumpeting. The enttre crew went to Lawrences assist ance on the eleventh day and joined him in an effort to pacity lingo. They al tailed, however, and twice the beast go' | its trunk through the bars of the cag' and struck the keeper with such force l that he was thrown to the deck. The other animals joined in the grea noise until about o'clock of the morning of the 12th, when suddenly Jingo's cries ceased. Lawrence ran to the cage t' find the animal dead. His carcass wa: examined, and after 1t was decided that f | could not be stuffed, 1t was ordered l thrown overheard.
