NEW SCHEDULE
FOR PACIFIC MAIL

The Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany contemplates placing in effect
a new time schedule for its steamers
next June. At Approximately the same
time it viii increase its service. The
two big steamers. Mongolia and Man
churia, which were recently purchas-
ed by the company while in course of
construction from the Atlantic Trans
port Company, are intended for the
Oriental trade, and the Mongolia,
arrive in Manila next May according
to present calculations. Other steam
ers will be added to the connpany's
fleet, and the directors intend broad
ening the scope of their operation to
a considerable extent. The Pacific Mail
is a Hartman interest and the belief
prevails that there will soon be a fight
on between Hartman and Hill for the
control of the trans-Pacific freight and
passenger traffic.
The construction of the Mongolia and
the Manchuria was begun in anticipa-
ton of the Congress of the United
States passing the Ship Subsidy bill.
The bill was defeated and, with it, the
hopes of the Atlantic Transport Com
pany The directors gladly disposed
of the two giant freighter liners to the
Pacific Mail people. j. H. Kinder has
been appointed captain of the Mon
golia. The captain of her sister ship,
the Manchuria, has not yet been nam
ed although there are not a few sea-
faring men who would like to have
the job. Both vessels, it is expected,
will make the run between Frisco and
Hongkong in % days.-Shanghai Times.

A NEW LINE
FROM THE ORIENT

A consular report from Lima, Peru,
says that the local Chinese residents
have promoted a new steamship COM
pany called the Compania Martina
Occidental a Vapor, with the object
of opening a new steamship service
between Peru and the East. At pres
ent marine communication is confin-
ed to the roundabout route via North
America. It is true that there is ore
Italian sailing vessel plying between
Canao, Peru, and Hongkong, but she
makes only two voyages a year, a sin
gle voyage lasting two or even three
months. Then, Japanese steamers,
carrying emigrants, make occasional
trips to Peru, but they only connect
Peruvian Government and leading
businessmen are now bent On finding
some means of opening active tradal
relations with Japan. All these con-
siderations have encouraged the Chi
nese promoters of the present scheme.
This company will have a capital of
$4,000, and though the sum may seem
inadequate for such an enterprise, it
will be sufficient for the company.
which is to charter vessels for the
time being and does not contemplate
owning any. The company's capital
has already been subscribed to the
amount of about $4,000, the share
holders being almost all Chinese.

CROUCH BUOY FOR
LIFE SAVING

A floating buoy, just invented by a.
Tacoma man, has brought fortune to
its inventor, and Sound shipping men
are of the opinion that the device will
prove a boon to the people who pass
their lives at sea
The Crouch buoy is floating one
that will carry a line to shore from a
ship. It is intended as of especial
value In time of shipwreck or storm
and works automatically. In shape
the device is that of the top. It's inner
mechanism is so perfectly arranged
that it works automatically and it new
err fails to do it's work The beating
of the waves will drive it to shore and
as it goes it will carry a. line. All
that is needed is to drop 1t overheard
from q ship and the buoy does the rest
Its advantages over the Lyle gun.
which is used the world over are so
marked as to cause comment. The
Lyle gun has it's limits and don't al

The inventor is said to have received
100000 for his rights. Patents on the
device have been secured in almost
every civilized nation Of the world

RIGHT HERE IN MONTGOMERY
E. G. Fowler Guarantees to Refund Money If Hyomei Fails to cure
 the Worst Case of Catarrh.

It Is no uncommon thing to see a medi' cine advertised as a "guaranteed cure. But Investigation usually shows that the guarantee is made by some unhno"h hrhi' hundreds of miles away
 The guarantee, though. that comes win HyomeI Is entirely different. It Is made by Mir E. c. Fowler, one of the most re- liable drug firms in this section. He ad- vertises that if Hyomei does not cure the worst case of catarrh, he will return the money without any question or argu- ment. No business house In Montgomery has a better reputation for square deal ing than Mfr. Fowler, and when he guar anteess that he will refund the money If Hyome; fails to cure catarrh. no one has any question as to the agreement being lived ur to, both in the spirit and letter.
 Hyomei Is very easy and pleasant to use. Just breathe 1t through the little inhaler that comes with every outfit: every breath will bring recovery sc much the nearer. It kills all the germs of ca- tarrhai troubles in the air passages of the head, threat. and lungs, socthes and heals the irritated mucous membrane, and is the only natural cure for catarrh.
 The complete outfit costs but one dol lar, and extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for fifty cents. Do not let a slight catarrhal trouble develop irto one that may be serious and chronic. Use Hyomei at once, remembering that you run no risk whatever when you try Hyo- mel on MT. Fowlers offer of '.No cure, no pay.' C2)-tu-thu-su.

ONCE MORE COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS SIGNS OF HEALTH

ket had been completely sold out in the enormous Hauidation of the last foul days, The leading bulls made little at- tempt to sustain prices. evidently pre- ferrinE to allow the underlying strength of the market to show itself That the strength was there was shown by the rapiaity with which prices climbed until they were we'll above the close of yes terday.
 The excitement of the day was fur nished by several fiurries of selling. The orders evidently came from New York, bears there plainly being of the opinion that New Orleans had still stony road to travel and that further breaks might be induced by heavy short selling. The market showed surprising powers
 of absorption. and all selling orders
 were quickly placed at monetary declines. | Twice prices were sent down 70 points
 but quick rallies followed each break and sent prices higher than ever, At the close. the tone was steauy. and ;he bull leader said that n was the healthiest market he had seen for months.
 The spot situation IS still unchanged. Factors are refusing to sell cotton until prices suit them. Several factors stated | tonight after the close of the future market that they would rot be ready to | trade until the 15c mark was reached. and that at that price they only had d | limited amount of cotton to let go. Perhaps the most significant feature of the day was the heavy offers of buy l ing in the spot market in the early half | of the session by spinners. Leading bulls , pointed out that when ever spinners thought the bottom of prices had been reached, 1t was time for the general
 trade to look for a reaction.

TO FIGHT FOR STAMPS
TRADING COMPANY WILL oP-
 POSE HIGH LICENSE.
Manager Gamble Declares He will Not Pay Amount Imposed by Montgomery Council-Will
 Go to Court.

The trading stamp company operating in Montgomery will resist the payment of the high license recently imposed on 1t by the Montgomery City Council. It's manager declares there can be but one result of a legal controversy: the com pany will continue to do business in this city and will not pay more than what he terms reasonable" license.
 Last year the trading stamp company which is a branch of the Home Mer- chants Trading Association of Louis vile, paid city license of N7 and a tax on its stock of goods in the store at the corner of Dexter avenue and Lawrence streets.
 The companys business is to sell stamps to retail merchants who give them to cash purchasers, the stamps be- ing redeemed by the trading company with merchandise.
 futile effort was made by business men of Montgomery and other cities to secure the passage of an act by the last Legislature which would have been practically a death blow to the trading stamp business in Alabama.
 The Montgomery City Council then proposed to levy a license of s1,000 on the trading company, but was advised by the city attorney that this would be a pro- hibitive license and would be conse- quently illegal.
 The Council finally passed an ordi- nance providing yearly license of $4OO for the trading company. In addition to this restriction the Council also provided that a license of $100 a year should be paid by each merchant giving trading 6 amps to his customers.
 At the City Hall yesterday License In- spector R. B. Snodgrass said neither the trading company nor merchants using the stamps had pail the newly imposed license He said he understood the trad ing company was preparing 90 retire from Montgomery.
 J. E. Gamble of Louisville. who has charge of all of the branches of the trading company talked without reserve about the plans of his company.
 "No sir" he declared with emphasis We shall not retire from Montgomery.

Alan dashed forward, seized her by the arm and drew her from the track. the automobile touching her swaying gar ments as it flew by. She uttered sharp cry and passed her hand over her eyes as If to push aside we'll. A look of ter- TOT came into her face and theE gave way to an expression of dawning conscious ness. as Of one who wakes from & long sleep. She looked up and saw in the face of his son the Alan Warrington of her youth.
 "I am glad you have come. Alan. l knew you would. but the waiting seemed an eternity. The train was late, they told me-"
 "Yes." he said. with a puzzled expres- sion.
 Then there came the memory of the old story he had heard long ago of the girl who had waited for his father through the years which had brought death to the l faithful lover. but had left the maiden stil. the fair. loviug bride. unconscious of and untouched by the passage of years. The love Of the bridegroom of years agore leaped suddenly Into the heart of
 his son and he seemed always to have
 known the deep eyes Into which he looked and to have had no life till she came
 with love for which his heart had wait ed through the years.
 The moment of awakening had come and she met Alan Warrington as he had stood before her In the days that were to her as the present. The time between
 was as naught. It had left no mark on

This is wholly unreasonable and Is ad- mittedly done to drive us out of busi- ness here. The courts have repeatedly held that this sort of legislation Is ille- gal and feel quite sure of the outcome of the litigation"
 Mir. Gamble declared that the heavy license was imposed at the suggestion of merchants who could not secure the use of stamps issued by his company He explained that contracts for stamps were made only with limited number of merchants in each line of trade.
