TRAPPED HAND
FOR BIRMINGHAM
OLD JUNE BREAKS ALL RECORDS
AND GIVES THE HOT WEATHER
KICKER A LITTLE TOUGH OF
HIGH LIFE-ovERcoATs WORN.

Not satisfied with its little capers OF
Thursday night, the mercury decided to
do more wonderful acrobatic turns FRI
day night and the effort resulted In its
outdodng It's achievements Of the night
before, when It registered b4.s. by falling
to $50. This Is perhaps the record
breaker for a night in June.
Friday night and yesterday morning
overcoats were in evidence on the streets
again.
The report that the Chicago ball team
could not play Thursday on account OF
the cold caused a number to say that II
the Birmingham team had been at home
the fans would have had to be satisfied
with sitting around the hotels and tell
ing how the game might have gone If
the freeze" had not made it's appearance.
The record made by the mercury was
just seventeen degrees away from the
freezing point. The night before Bir-
mingham beds had one blanket. Friday
night tho one, blanket was reinforced by
another one. and the combination barely
kept the sleeper in shape for slumber.
It is thought that the mercury win
now go up again, having taken its ride
on the toboggan, and will endeavor to
secure a position nearer the top. In this
respect it has the hearty sympathy of
the Birmingham baseball team.

Badges For opium Smokers.

From the American Medicine.
A government monopoly and factory
for the preparation of opium has been
established at Fulien, China. Hereafter
ell opium smokers who wish TO purchase
the drug must obtain from this establish
ment badges which are of three classes
viz: First, brass badge, which Is for the
government officials; second, paper
badge, which is for the century, and
third, wooden badge, which is for the
common people. On these badges
are written the names of the
opium smokers, their ages. their adj
dresses and the quantity of opium they
are allowed to buy daily, which is to be
decided and limited by the government
officials and which cannot be deviated
from at any time. The interest of Ameri-
cans for this news consists in the fact
that from the province OF Fulxien come
most of the Chinese of the Philippines
The Manila Times even thinks such a
method of controlling the opium abuse in
our new dependency should be adopted by
Cur government.

CASES OF BOGUS BABIES
RECALLED BY DETECTIVES

From the New York Sun.
The arrest in London of Mrs. Cunning
8. Bedford on a charge of making false
entry In the birth register in the st. Pam
cras district last December by represent
ing herself as the mother of child, set a
retired detective of this city talking about
similar cases.
Bogus babies" he said, do not always
involve monetary questions alone, al
though majority OF such cases are based
upon expected inheritances. recall a
case where bogus baby became what it
was intended to be.
IAN ambitious woman became the wife
of a minister. The father was anxious to
rear boy in accordance with his IDEAS
He had theory which he wanted to
prove to himself His wife was as much
interested IN his theory as he was. But
they had no child.
after nearly three years the wife pre-
scented her husband with male heir, In
this case the physician was an honest
man, but before consenting to play his
part he laid the whole plan before me.
There was no monetary consideration In
the case, so far as the child was concern
ed. I advised him to confer with a law
yer and 1t was finally agreed that the
doctor would not be implicated disoredit-
ably
THE child lived; 1t was reared in ac-
cordance with the Minister'S theory, and
know that he fulfilled the minister's ex-
Rotations.
"He never knew the truth of his birth.
His mother died after having lived to see
him become a great and successful
preacher. She was a member of his con-
gregation, and when she died he preached
her funeral sermon.
"He had become greatly interested in
her, and through his efforts she was cared
for as long as she lived. Before her
death she attended his wedding, and she
was the god-mother of his child. It
sounds a little STACEY, doesn't it? Reads
like a novel.
Another case of which I had some
knowledge was that of a middle aged
and childless couple who lived in Ohio
I he wife had younger sister who gave
birth TO girl baby under circumstances
that would, had they been known, have
Swallowed the lives of both.
1.-THE birth occurred at a hospital in
Cincinnati. The mother died in childbirth.
The aunt of the child took 1t and went
into new ana distant state, Wnere her
husband Joined her. Before doing so he
obtained divorce from her. and in due
time he became the husband for the Sec
end time of his first wife.
''The people in the new country never
knew the truth of that alliance. In thar
case the husband was not deceived He
and his wife were devoted to the child,
and the child became a noted beauty in
her state.
she married a man or prominence, and
her name was frequently mentioned in
connection with state social functions IN
Washington. All the parties connected
with this case are dead. The man who be-

COUNTY NEEDS ITS
OWN LIGHT PLANT
Grand Jury Makes Many Inter-
esting Suggestions
BOOKS ARE NEATLY KEPT
1t Is Urged That Justices of the Peace
Be Given Final Jurisdiction of Ger
tain Cases, as 1t Would Save
the County Money.
BOOKS ARE NEATLY KEPT

The grand jury which has been In ses-
sion for the past six weeks adjourned
yesterday. In the report submitted the
bodv makes a number of interesting sug-
gestions.
Among other things 1t Is recommended
that the county install its own light and
water plant to save expense and also
that an elevator be placed In the court
house. The food furnished prisoners at
the jail was found to be good and the
affairs of the county aims house We're
found in satisfactory condition, with the
exception that some sanitary improve
ments are needed and the purchase of a
modern operating table is recommended.
The grand jury lays special emphasis
on the satisfactory condition OF the books
and affairs of the various county offices.
A recommendation is made that the law
regaI ding the carrying Of concealed weap-
ons be changed so that good and law
abiding citizens shall not be placed at
the mercy of thugs and toughs
Attention is called to the large number
of misdemeanor cases that are brought
through spite. 1t is recommended that
justices OF the peace be given maj Jurls-
diction in such cases.
The past session was a very busy one
for the grand jury. One thousand and
one hundred witnesses were examined
during the six weeks, s76 cases were
sounded and 236 true bills were found.
Among those to whom thanks are due,
the grand jury mentions Baillff T. d.
