INTEREST IS TAKEN IN THE CAMPAIGN Meetings of Citizens Are Held
 at Ensley HOLLlNGSWOR1H MAY RUN He Is Being Strongly Urged By His Friends to Make the Race for
 Mayor-Public Schools
 to Open.
HOLLlNGSWORIH MAY RUN

Ensley. September 17.-(Special)- of the most popular features of the muni- cipal campaign in this city are the gatherings that have been held by the citizens from time to time to urge the various candidates to allow their names to be used in the primary. Tonight large number of citizens met in the hall on the corner of Avenue c and Twenty first street and passed resolutions request ing Alderman J. E. Hollingsworth to re- enter the mayoralty race.
 John A Bell, the present efficient city clerk, announced today that he would be a candidate to succeed himself. MT Bell is one of the best known men in Ensley and has a large number of friends. He is serving his first term, but has been prominent in political circles since his removal to this city.
 At the meeting of the citizens held to- night Alderman T. P. Patton presided and Alderman Frank Thompson was elect ed secretary. Resolutions were passed strongly commenting Alderman Hollings- worth and asking him to reconsider his action of last Thursday and again enter the race for chief executive.
 MT. Hollingsworth was approached to- night, but declined to say anything rela- tive to the action of the meeting. All that he would say was that "I am in the hands of my friends
 Some months ago Alderman Hollins- worth announced for the mayoralty con- test. Last Wednesday he announced that

 Judge Hubbard's Death.
 News of the death of Judge John P. Hubbard at Troy yesterday was received here with great regret. He was one of the best known men who ever served the state at the capitol. He passed away at o'clock after a long illness.
 Judge Hubbard was appointed to the circuit by Governor Johnston in 1899, shortly after the close of the special session held that year. He was a mem Der of the legislature in 1S9S-99 and led the fight against the constitutional con- vention, and in the special session of 1899 led the successful fight for repeal of the act authorizing constitutional conyen- tion. He was one of the most courageous men in public life of the state i'll 1870, being at that time q member of the leg islature, and as speaker of such admins- tered the oath of office to Governor R. B. Lindsay. He came to the position he held al his death as the successor of the Hon. Webb Foster.

nerve centres Systemic catarrh is very frequently the cause of this condition. Every mucous membrane in the body is slightly deranged by systemic catarrh. This leads 10 a complete demoralization of the digestive and assmilative organs, and q bloodless condition of the nerve centres ensues. Nervousness is the re- suit; fretfulness, irritabilty, worry, com plaining-all of these mental conditions result form starved nerve centres.
 The only cure Is to remove the ca- tarrhal condition of the mucous mem brane.
 Peruna is the remedy thatwill do this.

NOTED RABBI IS
 GUEST IN BESSEMER
HE WAS INTIMATE FRIEND OF PRESIDENT GRANT AND HAS HAD A DISTINGUISHED CAREER IN Th= EAST.

Bessemer, September 17-(Special)- The Rev. Dr. E. M Browne a promi- nent Jewish rabbi. is visiting friends in Bessemer. stopping during the holidays with Jacob Marks. Dr. Browne Is well known as the free lance" of American Judaism, having fought and sometimes bled in public struggles for the religious right and liberty of his people. He IS known as the intimate friend of Presi- dent U. s. Grant. at whose funeral he acted as pail bearer; and by refusing to ride on the Jewish Sabbath he gained much notoriety. His famous walk in New York made him the champion of the historical Jewish Sabbath.
 Dr. Browne has been in New Orleans with his family for the past two years. He is in Alabama, according to the state ment of some of his friends, to take up the fight against President Roosevelt in the present campaign. Dr. Browne was seen yesterday. He was surrounded by number of his friends, and refused to discuss any political questions. His friends asert, however. that he will enter actively into the fight against Roosevelt and will probably make several speeches in New York and other doubtful states.
 The memorable sermon preached by Dr. Browne on July 8, 1889, in accordance with the proclamation of President Me- Kinley, shortly after the victory of San tiago. attracted national attention and could effectively be used as a campaign document against the republican party in the present campaign. The sermon was delivered three days after the battle of Santiago was fought. At that time Pres ident Roosevelt was merely an officer of a rough rider regiment. None believed that he was to become governor of New York and later vice-president and pres ident of the United States.
 Dr. Browne is known to have once been a very prominent republican, having been intimately acquainted with Mckinley from his boyhood days. In 1888 pr. Browne worked in the national commit tee with Senator Quay for the election of Harrison and Morton, managing the Jew ish and working mems votes of New York. Dr. Browne was also one of the earliest champions of the laboring classes in New York City. In conjunction with Henry George and the Rev. Father Mc- Given. he succeeded in establishing the half Saturday holiday in the city, which custom has later spread all over the coun- try.
 In 1898 Dr. Browne fell out with Presi- dent Mckinley on the Jewish chaplain question and has transferred his strug- gles for that cause into the Roosevelt ed- ministration.

EMPEROR WANTS
 NO STRONGER MAN
REPORTED HE WILL PLAY THE STRONG ROLE HIMSELF AND WANTS NO SUCH MEN AS M. WiTTE IN POWER.

Paris, September H.-One of the highest diplomatic officials here has given out an interesting report concerning the court intrigue going on at St. Petersburg
 The report says the emperor has def initely declared his opposition to having any strong man like M. Witte exercise authority to the people to the exclusion of himself This, 1t is added. Is the cause of M. Witte's continued retirement and of the emperors recent engagement at the late Interior Minister Won Plehve's auto cratic power. The emperor therefore has let 1t be fully understood that there will be no other strong man. The report ex- presses doubt concerning the wisdom of the emperor's action, also his inability to play a strong role himself
