INJURIES PAINFUL
BUT NOT SERIOUS
Solomon Marcus Struck BY Electric
Car, But No Bones Were Broken.
Bicycle Demolished.

Solomon Marcus, proprietor Of the Gin
cinnati Dye house, was struck by an
electric car yesterday afternoon about
o'clock. No bones were broken and he
was not seriously injured.
The accident occurred In front OF his
place of business on Twentieth street,
between Fourth and Fifth avenues. 1t
seems that Mr.. Marcus had just mounted
his bicycle and started across the street
when he rode In front of a northbound
car, which struck him and knocked him
in front of a southbound car. This car
threw him off the track and demolished
his wheel.
He was picked up by friends and car
ried into his room In the rear of his
business office. Drs. Cooper and lie
Grande were called in AND waited on the
injured man. Last night DR.. lie Grande,
who is physician for the Birmingham
Railway, Light and Power company,
called again and made another inyestiga=
ton. He stated that Mr., Marcus was
painfully hurt and had a number of
bruises, but that he did not think there
are any internal injuries.

A CONVERSATION WITH A CLIMAX
When a Professional Man Talks, It's
to the Point.


Several famous American physicians
and surgeons were recently dining to-
ecther after a session of national meet
lag held in New York.
II had a remarkable case this win
ter" remarked a surgeon present, whose
name as a specialist in rectal diseases is
world wide MY patient was a woman,
a delicate nerve racked creature, who
mad suffered so fearfully from the ravages
OF hemorrhoids, that the knife seemed
the only solution of the trouble, and yet
her heart was weak and her strength so
wasted by this fearful disease, that we
dared not operate
"I had ceased my visits to her for a
time and had given up all hope, when
one morning she entered my office looking
like a new woman; the pallor had dis
appeared and the lines of suffering were
nearly eradicated from her face. She
told me that she had purchased a pro-
prietary medicine. namely Pyramid Pile
Cure, and that from the first insertion of
the suppositories she had obtained in
slant relief l made an examination and
found the rectum in excellent condition,
the Inflammation entirely disappeared and
the swollen veins in normal condition
II was so interested in the case that
had the remedy analysed carefully and
was so pleased with the result of the
analysis finding combination of the
most healing and scientific remedies pres
ent in the Pyramid Pile Cure and in
more convenient form than / could secure
them otherwise, that l wrote to the Pyra-
mid Drug company at Marshall Mich,
asking for their booklet on Piles, their
Nature, Cause and Cure. (Which by the
way is sent free,) and have since used
their Pile Cure extensively and with best
results In nraotiCa | do ffaf
TO recommend it to YOU all, 1t will often
save your patient from a painful surgical
operation which in many cases results
fatally"

The tendency of Scientific Medicine
since the discovery of the Germ Theory
is towards a Serum Treatment for the
cure of each disease. This is evidenced
by the Antitoxin for Diphtheria, the Te-
tanus Serum for Loel5iaw, the Toxin Sc
rum fog Bubonic Plague, and others.
Such has been the success of the Serums
that Rockefeller has offered a reward Of
several millions of dollars for a Serum
for the cure of Consumption. The latest
and perhaps the greatest triumph Is the
Speeifie-Serum Toxin for Blood Poison
(Syphilis) In all It's forms. Before this dis
eoyery Mercury was the only remedy, and
Its effect upon the patient in most cases
was worse than the disease. Mercury Is
always poison, and after taking 1t two
years under the old treatment the patient
was not cured and there always remains
the great dread of it returning In later
years in the form of Paralysis, Locomo-
tor-Ataxia and other serious complica-

PREACHING ORDERS
MEET WITH FAILURE
French Chamber of Deputies
Rejects All Applications
SOME ELOQUENT SPEECHES
In Summing Up the Governments Case
Premier combes Says the Monks
Brought War in the Folds
of Their Gowns.

Paris March 24-The chamber OF depu-
ties by vote Of s04 to "a tonight rejected
ali the applications for authorization OF
the religious preaching orders.
The entire session today was devoted to
a discussion of the governments bill
which opposes the application of the
preaching orders for authorization and
the chamber by its vote refused to pass
the discussion Of the clauses of the bill.
1t declines TO consider applications sepa-
rately for authorization to remain in
France. Among these orders who are
thus expelled from France is the English
Passionist order. which conducted a
church In the avenue Hoche for English
and American Catholics. and In behalf of
which British Ambassador Monson and
United States Ambassador Porter recently
interested themselves.
An Eloquent Appeal.
NJ. Plichon, member of the Catholic
party which rallied to the republic, OPP
ened the debate with an eloquent appeal
In favor of the preaching orders. argu-
ing that these orders, especially the
Capuchins, had been the pioneers of civ
ilization in all parts of the world, and
had contributed toward spreading French
influence throughout the east, where
they had made France beloved, had Gre
ated French schools, and had aided in
the development of French interests. If
they are suppressed, he said, they will
be replaced by foreigners.
M, RaDfer. the renOrfer of the hill ex-
planned the considerations which decided
the refusal of authorizations to the
preachers orders. The latter's only aim,
declared M. Rabier, was to accomplish
a political move and make the lay So
ciety subseryient to their designs, and
they must not be allowed to continue
the fatal work.
After Able Gayraud, Catholic repub-
lican, had further argued the cause of
the orders, Premier Combes briefly
summed up the governments case. He
urged that there was no place in mod
ern society for the religious congrega-
lions. The country had a regular clergy
to whom the concordat reserved the work
of preaching and the exercise of public
worship. The tendency of the religious
orders was to substitute themselves for
the regular clergy.
Brought War Instead of Peace.
1t was not peace. but war that the
preaching monk brought in the folds of
his gown. The monks had conducted a
campaign against the conquests of the
republic and against all republican pro-
gress. Their aim seemed to be to stim-
ulate hatred of republican laws and to
make appeals for reactionary revolts.
I'VE have a right concluded the pre-
mier, ito refuse legal existence to these
congregations who only attack our insti-
tutions. The hour is a decisive one. If
you don't follow the government In the
work we have undertaken you will be
turning back twenty years and that
would be a mistake, which l am convinced
the republicans in this chamber will not
commit"
The vote on the bill was then taken.

In Varied Programme.

large and appreclative audience greet
cd DR. William ii, Pitcher of New York,
the distinguished organ virtuoso, at the
Church of the Advent last night on the
occasion of his organ recital No per-
former on the noblest of Instruments has
ever been heard In Birmingham who could
be compared with DIR. Pitcher And those
who have heard Clarence Eddy and sew
eral other famous virtuosos agree that
The soloist last night SURPRISES them in
many particulars, Had demonstrations of
approval been permitted in the church
every piece he played would have been
warmly applauded.
DR.. Pitcher is at once a solid and a
brilliant player. The first part of his
programme was arranged chronologically
Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn Gounod,
The second part comprised compositions
by Thayer Wagner, Pitcher, Buck and
Rossini-''William Tell overture and the
third part was made up of Dr. Pitchers
Tale of an Ocean Voyage" a soulful
and varied work.
The organist played the prelude and
fugue on the name of Bach with MASTER
full clearness and beauty and Beethoven
moonlight sonata was a revelation.
Ne charge was made for admission but
a collection was taken up for the benefit
of the organ fund of the Episcopal church

THE WALKER COUNTY CRIME.
II Is Thought the Grand Jury VIII In.
diet Henry Walker Monday.

The grand jury of Walker county will
convene next Monday and II Is thought
the first matter that will engage its at
tention viii be to investigate into the
killing of Mrs. j. @. Dickerson, with
whose murder Henry Walker a negro, Is
charged. Walker is in the Jefferson coun-
ty jail in Birmingham.
The Dickerson assault and murder cree
ated a profound sensation. The affair
was a brutal one. Three weeks ago the
home of the Dickersons at Cordova was
entered by negro, who assaulted both
Mr.. and Mrs. Dickerson with a hatchet
end also criminally assaulted the wife.
Mrs. Diekerson died In a Birmingham
hospital from the effects of the wounds.
1t is the general opinion that an in
dictment will be returned against Walk
err at an early date, as he was positively
identified by Mrs. Dickerson a few hours
before she died. A speedy trial will
probably follow the returning and serv-
ing of the Indictment.

New Orleans, March PA north wind
kept the river here stationary, and there
were no new developments. anywhere
along the Louisiana line Something like
gale prevailed during the night and
| caused much apprehension concerning
the safety of the levees, though the days
reports have brought no news of crew
asses 1t is believed here that the river
is now carrying off much of the flood
that caused the overfows in North Mem
phis and In Arkansas. There is no change
whatever In local conditions.
No. attempt Is to be made to close the
break on the LaFourche. The damage it
can do has been discounted, and plant
ers likely to be affected have large forces
engaged In throwing up side and back
levees to protect their plantations. The
bayou has fallen two and one-half feet
at Napoleonville. The Southern Pacific
trains on the main track have not been
interrupted, The hardest fight on the
river is now being made In the La
Fourche and Pontchartrain districts,
which cover the front south of Baton
Rouge on both sides of the Mississippi
river. Large forces of men are steadily
employed on both banks. These levees,
as rule, are among the best in the
state and with the continuance of good
weather the engineers expect the crest to
pass without mishap, Notwithstanding the
highest water ever known. The gauge

Percy Awl, a guard, reached Monroe
today from Gaines landing, twelve miles

water is running over the levee at Doggy
