Painters suner FnII.

George Wilson and a man named Dennis, white painters, were seriously injured this morning about 10:30 o'clock while working on the carousal at East Lake, in the park. Both fell a dis tance of thirty-two feet from near the edge of the roof to the floor beneath. The left leg of Wilson was broken just below the knee, the bone penetrating the trousers and being exposee. He was internally injured. and his right leg was bruised. It is feared. also. that his back Is broken.
 Dennis fell almost headforemost, and in trying to save himself from fatal injury extended his right arm, and it was shattered between the wrist and elbow. The men suffered great agony. Ambulances made hurried runs to the Lake and carried the men to a hospi- tai, where the injured limbs will have to be amputated. Surprise is expressed by eye-witnesses to the collapse that the men were not killed, especially Dennis, who plunged downward on the hard floor of the structure, which is being built.
 The scaffold on which Dennis and Wilson were standing while painting gave way under the weight of the men after they had worked for over an hour. Fellow-employes on the different amusements at the lake now being erected ran to the assistance of the men.

 Denies Utterances Credited to Him Favor
 ing Parker.
 Washington Special to New York Herald.
 Unauthorized use of Arthur P. Germans name by some mysterious Parker literary bureau in which he Is quoted as favoring the New YorSxers nomination brought to- day an emphatic denial from the Mary land Senator. Neither Senator German nor his friends seek to conceal their indig- nation that such an attempt should be made to impress newspaper readers with the be- lief that he is for Parker if he is unable to get the nomination himself and has so expressed himself.
 Newspaper clippings and original matter in praise of Judge Parker's candidacy have been appearing for a month past in various parts of the country, and 1t is thought hare that they emanate from New York There is apparently a systematic and regular ef- fort to keep his name before the people. and a small pamphlet called "Cosmographics was circulated here to-day containing among other things this statement of Senator Cor mans alleged positions
 Senator Arthur Pue German says :---T cannot get the nomination Go to work for Parker. I would prefer that my friends would favor him to the exclusion of any other candidate. Let no man step in and beat him. If the Convention should decide that l should be nominated. then well and good. but otherwise I would prefer to see Parker our next President
 When Mir. Germans attention was called to this to-day he denied with great em- phasis that he had ever made any such remark, and said that the use of his name was entirely unauthorized.
 There is absolutely no thruth in it." said the Senator. T have not spoken in favor of or against Judge Parker or any other candidate. have declined to express any preference. I do not want to say anything to discourage the candidacy of Judge Parker of any one else. but this paragraph is simply not true"

Mobile, May zT.
 Monday next Mobile and the outside world will be in immediate touch. by telephone, with the citizens of Bald win County in the entire western por- tion, from Bay Minette on the north to Bon Sc Cour on the south. A com pany was organized for the purpose of erecting telephone lines between the points named, taking in towns and vil- lages between. Realizing the import ance of communication with Mobile, which is separated from the western shore of Baldwin County by many wa ters. the installing company decided to have direct communication through Mobile. In order to meet the require ments, the Home, Telephone Company of Mobile was induced to put in a switch board in it's office for the pur- poses intended. The necessary instru- ments have been installed in the local office, and the connections will be made Monday.
 The commercial importance of this line has been realized in Mobile. and subscriptions to the new line are com ing in.
 State Councillor Frank F. Conway of the Junior Order United American Me- chanlcs. has issued the following proc lamation:
 
 adoption of the United States flag and is known as national flag day. It is celebrated throughout the Union by displaying Old Glory from buildings and residences and also by wearing small flags The Juniors being a pat riotic order always recognize the day and last year in Pennsylvania, where the order is very strong . was esti- mated that three million flags were displayed. It is a very pretty and ap- proprlate custom and one in which all patriotic citizens can join. Too much | cannot be urged upon our people to revere the flag of our country and a universal observance of the flag day would do much toward that end. l wish the press would take this matter up and bring about the flying of the Stars and Stripes from every building June A." John F. Powers, sheriff of Mobile County, who was chairman of tie committee of arrangements of the Or | phans' excursion to Pass Christian, Miss. yesterday, made an important capture while in that place. William Busby, a negro, with an unsavory reputation, wanted here for robbery, was located by Sheriff Powers. With | Will Simms, a Mobilian, he succeeded l in capturing Busby. who, on examina- tion, was found to have an open knife and a pistol concealed on his person. l The Mississippi authorities made a | claim on the negro, charging concealed weapons, and locked him up. Sheriff | Powers made a demand that when the Mississippi authorities are through with Busby, he be turned over for ac- tion in this county. The request was promptly granted.

 A. R. Lewis, M D.. in a lengthy ar ticle in the columns of The American Journal of Health. says concerning hair: Its deterioration is a constant source of worriment to humanity. con sequently bald people are readily de- ceived by fake hair restoratives. The wish that hair preparation will fill the bilf is father to the fancy that it is likely to do so. A rare case in point Is that of Newbro's Herpicide. which actually does fill the bill.'

Roden & Co., firm, of which the late J. N. Didlake was a member, with B. F. Roden and J. D. Harris. It is claimed that after the death of Didlake the surviving partners formed or assisted in the for nation of the Roden Grocery Company and the business of B. F.
