New York Special Correspondence)- Red may not be the leading co1o,. of the winter but surely it is to ba rank ca among the most fashionable of tba season. 1t was considered the srnartes+ ana newest of all colors last Uinte,- but not until late was it so designated and consequently it did not become +oo popular This year the number. of red costumes that are worn is remarkab1e while for home and evening wear rcd is one of the favorites and is made m i, many different materials. As is tho case with everything this season. -there- are many different shades of the color "a rich, warm crimson. a perfect co,,so red, an American beauty shade and q du Barry rose color-all of which ar, most attractive.

 Cerise, or American beauty red. in chiffon is exceedingly smart, and be coming, too, and is made up without any relief of white or trimming of lace. When it is not becoming then few soft folds of white tulle just at the ton of the waist will work a miracle and make the gown more effective and most becoming. A gown of cerise chif- fon. accordeon pleated, is one of the simplest models imaginable. For a to- dice of deeper cerise. velvet is the only trimming, save a lace collar and cuffs. The gown is an exact duplicate of one in red cloth but the difference in the material gives such an absolutely diff ferent appearance as to look as though the fashions were taken from opposite models.

What Psyehopathy Does.

The Lamar Method of psychopathic treatment is based upon sound scien- tific principles, the thousands of suf- ferers restored to health and vigor are living witnesses to this fact.
 The Lamar system of psychopathic treatment with any other method of drugless healing. It stands alone. It is not Christian Science nor Mental Science. It is not Hypnotism nor di- vine healing. It is infinitely more than any of them. it is more thorough and far reaching.
 Psychopathy does not only cure all manner of diseases in old and young, but it goes still further than this By psychopathic treatment we guide and lead people away from evil tendencies, correct bad habits and reclaim the fal- len. Under this treatment the weak take on new courage and strength, and they gain complete control over their tastes, appetites and passions. Inebri- ates, gamblers, blasphemers, klepto- maniacs, the lustful and unfaithful, and willful and obstinate children speedily change their haDits of living, seek and keep better company and make good and useful men and women. faithful husbands and wives.
 Thus it will be-se that psycho- nathy is not confined to the treatment of disease alone, but that it reaches far beyond the domain of the ordinary practice of medicine with GTugs.

Proof IndisputabIe.

When Prof. Lamar established this practice in Los Angeles only a short time ago he told the people that he would introduce methods of curing hem of mental and physical ills of which they are uniformed. He an- nounced that during the twenty years of his practice of drugless healing he had effected many remarkable cures of all sorts of diseases in all parts of the world. He exhibited at his office hundreds of testimonials from we'll known people of New York City and San Francisco, his former fields of la bor. He further promised in a very short time to be able to furnish indis- putable proofs of his superior merits by the testimony of people right here in our city and vicinity.
 How well Prof. Lamar has kept his word can readily be seen by a perusal of the following unsolicited letters of endorsement from grateful patients:

 There was a stereopticon exhibition of religious pictures which proved to be very interesting and the auditorium was decorated tastefully.
 An admission fee of an apple and an orange was charged at the door. The attendance was so large that more than a barrel of apples and a barrel of oranges were secured with which to gladden. the hearts of the poor chil- dren of the city.
 The entertainment was under the management of the pastor. Rev. G. w. Patterson. D. D., and the teachers of the Sunday School.

ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF.
Councils Committee Has New Plas
 Under Consideration.


 Under Consideration.
 The Fire Committee of the Council has under it's consideration the resolu- tion introduced by Alderman Kohn at the last regular meeting of the City Council creating the position of As- sistant Chief of the Fire Department. but will not report the decision of the Committee under the next regular meeting of the body which takes place Monday, January 2.
 Chief Browder has his hands full at an important fire and the necessity of a chief assistant Is realized by the men of the department. When two fires occur at the same time this ne- cessity is more apparent.
 Should the office be created the ap- pointment of an assistant chief will be made from the list of captains. composed of Captain E. J. Griffith of the truck company; Captain R. E. Nixon of Hose Company No. i, Captain Harry Bernard of steamer Company No. 1, and Captain R. w. Cochran of steamer Company No. ?.
 Captain Griffith is the oldest captain in point of service and it is under stood that he is slated for the extra place should the City Fathers decide to give Chief Browder an assistant.
 Captain Griffith has been a member of the Montgomery fire department ever since its organization and was before that for many years a member of the old volunteer department. In that time he has gained much valuabIe experience in fighting fire and his abil . ity is recognized by the men of the de partment with whom he is uniformly popular.

POLICE PATROL WAGON
IT IS READY FOR DELIVERY TO
 THE CITY.
Chief Gerald Points Out Desirability of Telegraph System to Make Use
 of the New Vehicle Enective.

The police patrol wagon, ordered by the city about a year ago mas been
 completed and is ready for inspection and acceptance by the Police Commit tee of the City Council.
 After a forfeited six months contract renewed on a plea of more time and other delays, the wagon Is nnished and 1t is a most excellent wagon. It was completed more than a week ago by the builders, The Hannon Buggy Com pany of Montgomery, and Mayor Carr was notified that the long looked for wagon was ready for delivery to the city.
 The Police Committee of the Council which will inspect the wagon before 1t is accepted by the city has not had look at the "Black Maria" yet, and the handsome big wagon with Police Patrol" painted in large gilt letters on the side stands useless in the shop. It Is probable that the committee will act in the matter as soon as the two horses and harness. the purchase of which was authorized by the Council Monday night. are received. In speak ing of the patrol wagon yesterday Police Chief Gerald said that he did not see any use for 1t until the Council provided police telegraph system. and stable for the wagon and horses. Ine mayor tHOueHl thot o phtioi wagon was necessary and I guess he knew better than me-" said Chief Gerald. Suppose a man is found dead or drunk at Highland Park at o'clock in the morning, how is patrol wagon going to do any good? There is no police telegraph put there and an officer is not going to wake up the occupants of a private residence to ask the use of their telephone. I guess the officer will have to walk to town, get the patrol wagon and go back after his man."
 The wagon weighs about 2,5oo pounds and is strongly built In every particular. The sides of the body are fitted with wire net screens with curtain shades on the outside. Brass hand rods at the back steps. handsome brass lamps and big rotary gong at the dashboard give a look of authority to the policemen's "carry-all" It Is painted in neat shades of red and blue with decorations in gold.
