BEAUTY OF SKIN
 PURITY OF BLOOD
Ancient and Modern Ideas on These Interesting
 Subjects.
UP-TO.DATE METHODS
For Purifying and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp, HaiT
 and Hands.

Socrates called beauty Q short-lived tyranny, Plato 6 privilege of nature, Theocritus, delightful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom, Homer glorious gift of nature, Ovid favor of the gods. Aristotle affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of rec ommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how beauty Is to be perpetuated, or the ravages of age and disease detied. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the pallor of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous dis1gurations and crimsons the Roman nose with unsight- ly fiushes, moth, If not rust, corrupts the glory of eyes, teeth. and lips yet beautiful by defacing the complexion, aud fills the sensitive soul with agony.
 If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blemishcs, what must be the feelings of those in whom torturing humors have for years run riot, covering the skin with scales and sores and charging the blood with poisonous elements % be- come part of the system until death9
 It is in the treatment of torturing, disfguring humors and affections of the skin. scalp and blood, with loss of hair, that the Cuticura remedies have achieved their greatest success. Orig. inal in composition, scientifically com pounded, absolutely pure, unchange- able in any climate, always ready, and agreeable to the most delicate and sem sitive, they present to young and old the most successful curatiyes of mod ern times.

 Against News and Ledger

In the criminal court yesterday the contempt proceedings against the Bir- mingham News and the Birmingham Led- ger were dismissed by Judge Samuel E. Greene.

ChiefWier and Captain Johnson
 Very Frank
SATISFIED WITH VERDICT
Condemned Man Falls to Make an Impression Such as He had Hoped. Signatures to Petit
 tlons Being Examined.

Frank Duncan, condemned to die on November % for the murder of Police man Kirkley, sent for Chief of Police Wier and Captain John s. Johnston yes terday and tried to convince them that he was not guilty.
 Chief Wier told him that he was well satisfied with the verdict of the jury which had tried him, and that he thought the verdict of the jury should settle the matter. Chief Wier expressed regret to Duncan that he was in his present con- dition, but said he did not feel nearly so sorry for him as did for the wife and families of tho dead officers when the wounded men were carried home on the night of the shooting.
 The chief further stated to Duncan It was an undisputed fact that Duncan's ! chosen friends and comrades committed numerous crimes and that some members of the gang dld commit the two murders, Snd that he believed the statements of the two dying officers and other reputable citizens who identified Duncan.
 Captain Johnston told Duncan that he believed he was the man who shot the officer. and that he believed he should pay for his crime In his mind, Captain Johnston said, the matter was settled finally when Policeman Adams called Duncan back the second time and posi- | lively identified hlm, not to speak of tho other witnesses who identified him.
 A close Investigation of the petitions asking that the verdict be commuted to life imprisonment is said to show very few names of people who are known at all in the city. One of the petitions shows s50 per cent of the names of people who 1 do not live in the city.
 As far as possible canvass of the pe- titions was made yesterday afternoon, and following will be seen the number of names found on the various lists at stores in the city:
 Hotel Hillman ............................ 1a 1 Florence hotel ........................... bt | Morris hotel ........................... ol Doster- Northington Drug Co............ 9! Nortons drug store ...................@ 25'

 There are other lists being carried around by individuals on which there ar some signatures.

Of the other signature majority are so badly written that fl many cases 1t is hard to make out tn name.
 There are no lists at Parker's drui store, Burnett's cigar stands the Metro politan hotel. Housman's drug store ana the St. Nicholas, as had been announced The petition at Nortons was taken ou yesterday.

ATTORNEY ARGUES
 INTERESTING POINT
Question of Arresting for Mis- demeanor Without Warrant
CONTENTION OF POLICE
Judge Feaaln Advises Not to Make Any More Misdemeanor Arrests Without Warrants Until Su-
 preme Court Decides.

Attorney Bullock yesterday morning argued the question of officers making ar rests without warrants in cases of mis- demeanors before Judge N. B. Feagin in the police court. The judge has not yet rendered decision in the matter, but will probably do so this week. He is waiting until he can further investigate the law on the case.
 The question at issue is whether an officer can make an arrest for mis- deamenor on verbal complaint of one citi- zen against another. The attorney held that the state law Is that an arrest can not be made for a misdemeanor by an officer except on written complaint which is a warrant, or unless the of lcer is present and sees the person com init the mlsdemeanor.
 Policemen Advised.
 Judge Feagin advised the policemen not to make any more arrests on verbal com plaint until the supreme court had de- cided the ne tier. He stated that the question was before the supreme court and that he would like for that court to decide 1t before he rendered his decision. decision In the cases will probably be handed down this week or next
 Members of the police department claim that .f Judge Feagln rules that an arrest cannot be made without a war rant when a mlsdemeanor has been committed it will work a great hardship and that numbers of criminals will es- cape In this way. For instance, they show that after o'clock in the after noon there Is no way to get warrant until the next morning at o'clock as the police court is closed the inferior court Is closed and the criminal court is closed.
 Concerning Warrants.
 The only chance than an officer has to get warrant at night is to look ur Judge Abernathy on the streets. There are court costs to every warrant sworn out in any court in Birmingham except the police court and this adds to the burden on the party losing the case.
 The law provides that an arrest can be made on a felony without a warrant or without the officer witnessing the com mission of the felony. So the question before Judge Feagin concerns only tho making of arrests for mlsdemeanors ant not for felonies. The question is agitat ing the police department great deal.
 Attorneys state that from the law al it now stands, 1t seems clear that no ar rest for a misdemeanor can be made with out a warrant, unless the act is wit messed by the officer, but they believ' that the law should be changed At torney Bullock stated yesterday afternoon that in his opinion the law Is wrong ol this point and that an officer shoul' have the power to arrest on a verba complaint.
