which adenoids is perhaps the most
common, resulting in making them

Moreover. certain children classed as
stupid possess decided talents in GER

VALUABLES TAKEN
 BY A PICKPOCKET
HE OPENS A WoMAN'S POCKET. BOOK AND TAKES GOLD WATCH AND CHAIN IN THE CENTRAL MARKET.

The pocketbook of Mrs. Dickson of North Birmingham was picked last night about S.9o o'clock in the Central market. and gold watch and chain valued at about $15O was taken from 1t. There is no evidence to show whether the pickpocket was white man or negro.
 The chain was very valuable piece of jewelry. It was of unusually delicate and fine workmanship, and cost something over s75. The watch was solid gold, and contained fine works. It was also valued at about $75.
 It seems that Mrs. Dickson had taken the watch and chain from around her neck, where she usually wore them, and placed them in the purse to prevent their being stolen. She fastened the purse, which hangs from her waist, but in few minutes she discovered 1t open and the watch gone.
 Policeman Eagan was summoned, but could get no trace of the thief. A descrip- tion and the number of the watch will be furnished the police.

 TOMBRELLO BAIL
ITALIAN BOUND OVER FOR KILL ING PERCY LITTLE AT LITTLE TON LAST MoNTH-couRT IN SESSION.

Frank Tombrello was bound over to the grand jury without bail by H. s. Aber- nathy, justice of the peace, yesterday morning, on a charge of killing Percy Little at IAttleton last month.
 The Italian had been on trial for two days and when the arguments of the at- torneys closed Friday afternoon Justice Abernathy reserved his decision until yes- terday morning.
 Tombrello claims he acted in self de- fense. He said on the witness stanu: Little struck me twice on the head with a whip which he held in his hand, and tried to get to his pistol to shoot me"
 Witnesses for the state testified that Little was called to the rear of Tombrel- los store and that the Italian shot him after a whispered conversation, and that Little did not attempt to draw a pistol. The grand jury isj now in session and the Italian will remain in jail pending the action of that body.

SOLUTION OF NEGRO
PROBLEM is REMOTE
Washington GLADDEN. Is Not Encour-
aged by Condition of Black Race.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 22-The
cioslng meeting of the American Mis-
Slonary association was held tonight.
Dr. Washington GLADDEN., of Columbus.
made an address on the negro problem,
IN which he said that the solution of
the question was further away TODAY
than 1t was at the close of the Civil
war; that the task of helping the negro
to manhood is increasing in compIexity.
and that the people of the South de-
serve great credit for what they have
done for the negro.
Inc American Missionary associa-
ton has funds amounting to more than
SI,OOOOOO he said, the income of which
II is required to spend in the Southern
heId for negro education. Other So
cletles have similar trusts. They
cannot be transferred. They must be
cOnscientiously administered to sustain
missionary work. To suspend mission
airy work in the South would check the
forward movement of what is proving
TO be very helpful in it's results. The
negro IN the greater part of the South
was declared to be disfranchised, and
ne is no longer a free and responsible
citizen. He is a subject, must pay
taxes, and has little or no share in de-
termining how these taxes shall be
expended"

CARRIE NATION, UTILITY WOMAN.

Mistress Carrie Nation, formerly OF
Kansas, justified her existence the
other night by stampeding the crowd
that was being abused by 'Lige
Dowie.
It was in Madison Square Garden,
and Dowie was pouring the phials of
his wrath on the jeering faces of the
Gothamites when Carrie turned on the
tap and let loose the pent-up barrel
of wrath that she had accumulated in
warning with unheeding saloonkeepers.
Whereupon Dowie gorgonized her with
a stony British stare and said, NWom-
an, sit down.
1t is related that thereafter Mrs.
Nation made some comment upon Eli
jah's methods of doing business and in
vited the crowd to leave the hall with
her. Four thousand persons, more or
less, went out in her wake-not that
they loved Carrie more but that they
loved 'Lige less.

tins from under the spell of the self
styled prophet-and is by way of get
ting some advertising for herself. Car
RE is deserving of the space she drew
on account of advertising.
There had been some doubt as to the
uses of Carrie Nation. She had been
variously regarded as a mild lunatic
with sensational trimmings; as a
fanatic with an eye to the main
chance; as the leader of new and
strenuous warfare against the Demon
Rum. She spent some months during
which the crashing of barroom mirrors
made music that caused her to forget
the spray of the settler siphon aimed
at her by the unregenerate barkeepers.
Then she went out of sight, hidden by
the drop curtain of the cheap drama.
Now she comes on and does the pub
lie service. She has justified the

M'LAUGHLIN MAKES
IREFUL STATEMENT
Brooklyn Leader Appears to Have No
Use for Charles r. Murphy.

NEW YORK, Oct 22.-The action of
the special committee of the Demo-
cratic county committee of Brooklyn
IA recommending an Endorsement of
Inc whole Democratic city ticket by the
oistrlct associations led today to
sharp statement by Hugh Mclaughlin,
who said:
Despite the action of the special
committee, l take back nothing that
nave SAID and abate none of my desire
10 nave the community reused in an
Iagonlsm to all the evil with which
Iammany is identified. I see in the
present campaign that deeper than any
pohtlcaI issue lies the great moral is
sue OF decency against crime, purity of
NE against 'redlightism, honestly in
pdpnc once against graft. 1t would be
impossible for me to give any counte-
nance TO what Tammany is and is do
ing without being false to the people
or Brooklyn, false to my own convic-
tons and doubly false to the whole
cause of good government
Mr.. McLaughlin's attention was
called to statements made today that
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many, would endeavor to placate the
Kings county organization by offers of
patronage. The Kings Democratic
leader said it made no difference to
him now what Mr.. Murphy might do
or say.
Murphy" he continued, "endeavored
to deceive me. He talked with me
about the mayoralty and pretended to
be uncommitted, when, in fact, he was
fully committed. He did not speak the
truth when, in answer to my sugges-
ton that a man of the standing of
Judge O'Brien or Judge Giegerich
ought to be named for the mayoralty,
he said that they were excellent men
and would be carefully considered At
that very time he had fixed his mind
upon Mcclellan and the whole object
of his visit was, in plain terms, to
bunco me and through me mislead the
people of Brooklyn. I have never had
any use in my life for men who play
politics in that manner, and have none
now"
The executive committee of the
Kings county Democratic committee,
which met today in Brooklyn, adopted
the report of the harmony committee
appointed at a recent meeting of the
county committee, and will give its
unqualified support to the whole Tam
many ticket.
