Conva Iescence,

Convalescene is sometimes merely
apparent, not real, and especially is
this true after such diseases as pneu-
monia, typhoid fever and the grip To
make it real and rapid, there is no
other tonic so highly to be recommend
ed as Hoods Sarsaparilla.
This great medicine cleanses and re-
news the blood, strengthens all the or
gans and functions, and restores
health. Take Hoods.

Henry c. Ouinby, attorney for the New

Germ has made at least $4,000 out OF New
York firms alone in the last two years, and
the losses Of out -of-town houses have been
much greater.
The scheme Is a novel one. From 10000
ia Is 900 judgments are filed every month
in this county The judgment records
are open to every one. The fake agency
uses them freely in this way, Mr. Quinby
says. .,

Justice Orders New Accounting.

In an opinion handed down yesterday
with decision vacating an order passing
and settling the accounts OF Henry Winthrop
Gray as receiver of the United States
Mutual Accident Association, Supreme Court
Justice MacLean took occasion to score the
Attorney Generals Office and Mr.. Cunneen's
predecessors for neglect.
The motion was made by Attorney
General Cunneen and Lawyer Raphael
s. Moses, in behalf Of two members of the
Association, J. A. Hudson and j. H. Abbott,
who say that they were not properly notified
when the Court was asked to approve Mr.
Grays accounts. In their afadavits they
object to such approval, alleging that Mr.
Gray misapplied and wasted the funds,
and that former Attorneys-Gene when
called upon to investigate the matter, gave
it but perfunctory attention.
Attorney General Cunneen also sub
mitted an affidavit made by Henry w. Kill
leen, in which II is stated that Mr.. Gray
spent 327 ,97s for Office help alone during his
receivership and that the expenditure for
clerk hire exceeded the total income during
the receivership.. 1t is pointed Out, in par

Commissions order declaring the rates
charged by the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road Company and others between New Or

high and discriminatory and in violation of
the long and short haul clause. The Circuit
Court sustained the commission. but The Cir

and remanded the case to the commission
for further proceedings. The Supreme
Court finds that the rates to La Grange were

to La Grange was formed by taking the

The court said that the lower rate to At

competition, as had already been settled
In previous decisions. On the other hand,
the rate from New Orleans to Montgomery,

local rate from Montgomery to La Grange,

Inc commission, therefore. is practically
defeated on every contention made in the
bill, including violation of tie long and
short haul clauses, and that the rate was
unreasonable.
