Her Mind Was Not Easy.

From the New York Times.
 When Martin Marston reached his home late one night he found on the H. brary table a letter addressed to him, in the handwriting of his wife. He apen- ed and with deep emotion, read as fol- lows:
 My husband; I am calling you by this name for the last time. l no longer love you and can not continue to live with you as your wife. When you receive this I shall be miles away. Do not try to fol- low me, as I shall never return to your home.-Helen.
 Almost believeing that his eyes had de- ceived him, he again read the letter. His reading was interrupted by sound at the door. Looking up he saw his wife. His face lighted up instantly. Surely" he thought, "she had repented her rash act and has come back to my home and my love, prepared to ask me to forgive her."
 q have come back" she said, to"
 Then your letter was cruel mis- take" said Marston, '' and you do love me?"
 NO, Martin. I don't" Why. then, have you come back? Well. forgot to add postscript to my letter.

New Depot a Possibility.

Gadsden, June 17.-(Special.)-The re- port that the Louisville & Nashville, and the Nashville, Chattanooga, and St. Louis railroads will Jointly build a handsome depot, seems to be founded on facts. While the officers have not confirmed the report, there is every reason to believe that 1t is true A survey of the site has been made Both of the roads are badly in need of a passenger depot. The Louisville & Nashville handle their pas sengers at the Printup house. The pro- posed depot will be located near the freight station of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga and St. Louis, at least that is where the survey has been made.

As to the dual compensation to 0. Il. Smith, former Postmaster General smith says that it was the opinion of the de- pertinent that any employe receiving Sz5pu or less could be paid compensation on two different rolls, but that the technical IT, regularity was discontinued as soon as the comptroller of the treasury called at tention to 1t.
 Concerning Beavers and Heath.
 Concerning the vouchers for expenses of Beavers, Heath and others, the necessity for the expenditure of the money by the Washington office being questioned, MT. Smith says that the vouchers were furnished where possible and the entire account regularly sworn to. He defends certain alleged irregular appointments and says the appointments were regular. MT Smith says it was the postmaster s duty to provide employment for the clean CTS appointed or to report to the depart ment that there was no employment Tor them He says the department was liable for full months rent of a temporary post office building mentioned. Concerning the overtime claims of Lerens, Hurt, Machen and others, MT. Smith says that this ex- penditure was understood by the auditor for the postoffice both in this and pre- vious administrations, and that no ques- ton was ever asked as to the propriety until 1899, when the practice was discon- tnued.
 MT. Smith contended that the result Of tl,a ioa tIon of the overtime claims that approximately 5000, 900 has been set- tied for about $S50O,OO0 within five years, for which judgments have been rendered in the court of claims. saving the govern ment as compared with the old method of settling claims about $5,500,000

Judge Feagin and Ladies Hold
 a Conference
BILL IS BEING PREPARED
Measure Will Provide for Juvenile Court for Jefferson County Only. John Will Johns Is Draw
 ing the Bill.

At a.conference of Judge Feagin, Miss Way and the ladies interested in the saving of wayward boys held yesterday in Judge Feagins office, 1t was decided not to try and get a juvenile court bill through the legislature for any other sec ton of the state than Jefferson county.
 After thorough discussion of the mat ter the ladies concluded that the condi- tion of the states finances would make it difficult for such a measure to be en- forced If passed. and that really it was not needed as badly in any other section of the state as 1t is in Birmingham.
 Object Explained.
 Miss Way, who is here from Chicago in favor of the juvenile court, explained fully the object of the court, and de- seribed the manner in which bills have been passed through the legislatures in other states. She showed the advantages of the court. howfit takes a bad child and gives 1t pleasant surroundings where it will be taught to behave; how 1t after wards provides for child in reforma- tory if the place of reformation proves inadequate. and finally does not give up child until all hopes of saving it are passed
 The ladies expressed themselves as be- lieving it would be good thing for Jeff ferson county and said that they would do all in their power to further local bill in the legislature looking to such court in this county.
 Bill Being Framed.
 Capt. John Will Johns is engaged in drawing up a bill which will be suitable for Birmingham. He will be assisted by Judge Feagin. and together they believe that they will be able to provide for the bad boys of the county in the future. The ladies who were invited to be present at the meeting were Mrs. D. T. Taliferro, Mrs R. D. Johnston, Mrs. c. P. Orr, Mrs. Bussey and Mrs. John White.
 As has been stated before the juvenile court provides for separate place of detention for bad children, gets them home if possible, and in every way seeks to prevent them turning out to be crim- inals by being thrown into jails with hardened characters.
