REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
Enormous Sums Were Raised by Depew
 But Odell Goes Back on Him.

Washington Special.-One can form some idea of the enormous campaign fund of the National Republican Com mittee in the late campaign when told that one prominent Republican, a big railroad magnate, and a United States Senator. by his own efforts raise $400,- 900. This startling bit of intelligence was brought to light today in an ac- count printed in the New York Sun of the meeting last night of prominent re- publicans in New York for the selec- tion of a United States Senator. Near ly all present favored the election of Odells man. Governor Black. but Sena- tor Depew had few friends there, in- cluding Cornelius N. Bliss, the treasu- Ter of the National Republican Commit tee, and they said all that they could in favor of Depew. The Sun says:
 They spoke of the Forts he had made in the last election on behalf of President Roosevelt and MT. Higgins; he referred to the admitted fact that he had raised something like $400,00O for the campaign fund. and they insist ed that, if for nothing else, the fact that Senator Platt wished him to con- tinue as his colleague in Washington ought to be sufficient for every good Republican leader in this State to work for the return of Senator Depew to Washington"
 But, notwithstanding this weighty financial argument for the return of Depew to the Senate, 1t looks like he is doomed for defeat. Taking this large amount of money raised by Depew alone recalls a story printed on the late Senator Hanna, of the '96 cam paign, when he was asked if as much as "a million dollars were expend ed The reporter who asked the ques- tion says:
 The Senator looked me in the face for a few moments evidently to note if I was in earnest in the question and no doubt satisfying himself that was threw back his head, gave loud laugh and putting his hand on my arm said good naturedly: Go away, young man, you are foolish.'"

WRECK NARROWLY MISSED.
Central Train Ran Over Piece of slag

central Ira1n Han OVef F1ece or SIaR.
 Opelika,. Dec. 24.-(Special)- )-The Central passenger train from Birming ham to Opelika, which arrives in this city at S:25 p. m, come very near being wrecked last night at Haw's cut near Dadeville.
 At that point the train was running at a rapid rate of speed, Engineer Simpson noticed something ahead of him on the track that looked like a piece of newspaper, the train ran over it, but instead of being a piece of paper 1t was a large piece of slag three or four feet long.
 Looking ahead again the engineer saw at short distance two crossties lying across the track. He was so near them. that he knew 1t was impos- sible to stop the engine so he put on a full head of steam and pulled open the throttle, the engine struck the ties with such terrific force that it broke them in two and thus prevented ter rible wreck. As soon 3N possible the car was stopped and 1t was found that the cross ties had been braced on both sides so that they could not be knocked off easily Part of the slag were found on the trucks and Engineer Simpson thinks it wonderful the cars were not derailed.
 Sheriff Smith of Tallapoosa County was notified at Dadeville and he and his deputies, with a pack of blood hannda are after the would-be wreck

 Finally, if my advice were asked, I would warn all women to beware of religious lawyers.

Bald Head Men Want Many Hair Cut

The sensitive. taciturn barber was finally induced to talk. says The Prov idence Journal. He remarked: I've noticed one peculiarity about my cus- toners that I could never quite ex- plain. The less hair a man has the more attention he pays to 1t.
 There's a real estate agent who comes in nearly every week for hair cut. and if I shaved him clean from the back of his collar to his forehead you'd never know that I'd touched him. He's got a short, light colored fringe that plays around under the rim of his hat, like the soft. fluffy fringe you see on those shawls the women wear over their shoulders, but you'd think, to hear him, that he could braid it and do 1t up in coils. I humor him, of course. I take a handful of somebody else's hair and sprinkle 1t on the cloth l put on him and then I snip the air gently for ten or fifteen minutes and make a great ado when I whisk him off.
 And when he leaves the chair and says he mustn't let 1t grow so long again. I say it was pretty long. I hope the Lord will forgive me. Nine out of every ten of the bald heads are that way, but men who've got plenty of hair will keep away from here until they look like the edges of an old-fashioned hay loft. It's curious and, as I said, I never could account for it.

Poor Whiskey in "Old Joe' Bottles
This is What Distillers Charge In Federal Suit Against
 Phoebus Man.

Judge Edmund waddill of the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. yesterday issued
 an order temporarily restraining Nich- olas Leonard, of Phoebus. Va, from making use of then name "Old Joe Whis- l key" and from using said words as part of a label or brand for liquor sold by
 him. The order also cites Leonard to appear in court here January Is, 1905, and show cause why said injunction
 should not be made permanent. Process was issued by Clerk Bowden and given to Deputy Marshal James E. West to serve upon Leonard immedi- ately after receipt of Judge Waddilrs order.
 The order was issued upon petition of Aaron Bluthenthal and M. l.. Bickart, trading as Bluthenthal & Bickart, wholesale liquor dealers. of Atlanta, Ga., who allege that Leonard has will fully infringed upon their trademark. The compliments set forth that their largest selling brand of "B & B." as
 the concern is familiarly known, is the famous "Old Joe Whiskey, over 1.500.-
 900 bottles of which have already been
 sold this year. They claim that Leon ard has been reflling the original "Old Joe" bottles with inferior whiskey and selling 1t as genuine. The complain ants also claim that the defendant vio-
 lated their rights by the unlawful sale of an inferior whiskey he called "Old Joe" that he succeeded in getting empty old Joe" bottles, which he re- filled and sold as the genuine article The complainants say that these acts of the defendant have caused them
 great injury. but they cannot state cer-
 tainly the exact amount, but believe the same to be fully $5,000.
 Recently Messrs. Bluthenthal & Bick-
