One Of Champ Clark's Stories.
The big cut glass chandelier which
for years hung in the east room of
the White House has been removed to
the capitol and now decorates the
room of tae committee on appropria.
tions. Champ Clark thinks there is
very little if any use for it there, as
the room is we'll lighted by the sun
and Congress seldom meets at night.
Reminds me of the deacons in
country church out our way" said
the Missourian. "One of them wanted
to buy chandelier, but another said
I think we'd better pay off the mort.
gage. Supposin' we got this here
chandyleer, who's goin' to play it?'
don't see how they're going to play
on this one either, as there is plenty
Of dwight in the committee room."

Sisters Come to His Rescue.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Dec. 10
The will of Judge James Cheney,
who LETT an estate valued above
100000. including stock in New
York banks, government bonds
and Wabash securities, was proba-
ted yesterday, and by it's terms his
son, w. Roswell Cheney, of JEFF
fersonville, is only given $4,000
and a monthly allowance of $50
This measurably cutting of of Mr.
Cheney from his lpatrimony will
be of no avail, as his sisters, Mrs.
j. A. Kimberly, of Neenah, Wis;
Mrs John G. Nelson, Of Logans-
port, and Mrs. Charles A. Knight
of this city, who are the chief
heirs aud executives, have deci-
ded that their brother shall divide
the estate equally with them.

will be an easy natter to take out
thousands of tons of the ore from
which it may be Judged how great
is the value of this property. Mr.
Roberts and his partners are per-
fectly satisfied with their invest
ment and are steadfsstly refusing
to sell any part of their mine, as
it is their intention to put up a

that these gentlemen have most

Ice In Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, tbs "city of peace
and stronghold of Zion," is at
least $500 years old, yet only
three years ago did the natives Of
that part of Palestine begin to
use ice. Many of them had never
seen it in fact. A diminutive
French plant has been turning
out about TOO pounds a day,
Jerusalem water 10 the finest in
the world, being collected FROM
the housetops and stored in cis-
terms. The ice, therefore, is like
crystal, melting slowly and with
out particle of sediment. The
demand for Joe in the sacred city
was started by a modern hospital.
Hotels soon afterward began it's
use, and now nearly all the for
eign residents and many of the
wealthy native families are con.
sumsrs.

anywhere, and vein when found

of from fifty to two hundred feet.
In this case, however, this is

NO ENDORSEMENT
 MADE AT MEETING
REPRESENTATIVE BUSINESS MEN GATHER, BUT TAKE NO ACTION ON CANDIDATES FOR STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

The joint meeting of the Board of Trade the Wholesale and Retail Grocers associations and the Lumbermens asso- citation was held last night in the Tom linson building, and by an almost unan- imous vote decided no- to endorse any candidate for the position of railroad commissioner.
 There were probably fifty representa- tive business men present, and there were not more than five of them, to judge from the vote cast, that were in favor of en- dorsing a candidate. All the talks made were in opposition to an endorsement.
 R. M. Jenkins offered a resolution that committee consisting of a representa- tive from each of the organizations pres ent at the meeting be appointed by Chair man Collins, and that this committee re- commend a candidate to be endorsed by the club. Talks in opposition to this mo- ton were made by William Simmons, G. B. McVay and b. Lesser.
 A motion was then made to table the motion of MT. Jenkins. This was carried and the meeting adjourned at once.

received strong support and encourage ment, we are succeeding in our undertak- ing far beyond our fondest expectations, and we will persevere in tie same line until our efforts are met with complete success. Mir. Roosevelt has ignored our legal1y-eleeted state organization and has appointed men who In no wise express the sentiment of the great majority of Alabama republicans.
 Unwarranted Interference.
 Tt Is an unwarranted interference where none was needed, as the men who should have the ear of the national ad- ministratlon were selected by the entire republican population of the state, and 1t stands to reason that these citizens knew whom they were choosing and why they were chosen"
 Asked about the Hanna boom. Mir. Cooke said:
 ''Yes, have received many letters from republicans in other southern states in- quiring as to what candidate Alabama would likely throw her vote at the next national convention. Many of them in- lndl they NOulu dCl III NAeh the Alabama delegates In this respect, and in consequence of the fact that Ala bama comes first upon the call of votes by states we realize and appreciate the fact that as Alabama casts her vote so will the entire south.
 Thinks lt Will Be Hanna.
 ''Yes I have preference as to the next republican nominee, and while it is little early to prophecy, believe that Senator Marcus A. Hanna will be the man. MT Hanna represents the Ideal American politician, who has. absolute confidence of the entire business world, and we all know that under a Hanna administration prosperity would continue and the programme as mapped out by the late lamented Mckinley would be carried out to the letter.
 MT. Hanna has proven his wonderful executive ability in the successful man. agement of his own business interests, and demonstrated his powers as politi- clan by the brilliant terminations of the Mckinley campaigns, and If nominated by the republicans and then elected as their President, America will have a man at the head of it's affairs who knows neither north nor south, east nor west, but will govern all with fairness and impartiality.

AUTOMOBILE RUN.

 Being Planned.

Birmingham's automobile enthusiasts are planning a run for Sunday afternoon, February 8. There are now sixteen or seventeen horseless carriages in Birming- ham. and 1t is thought that the trip will be very pleasant one for all who take part.
 The plan as at present mapped out is to leave the Hillman hotel about 1 or 2 o'clock on the afternoon mentioned and go out the loop road to Bessemer and back by way of Hawkins Springs.
 Any one interested in taking the rido will confer a favor by addressing M. F.. Hickman, P. o. Box 7S7, who will try to see all the "chaffeurs" in the city and induce them to join the party.
 The route proposed is about twenty-five miles long
