MATTERS OF MOMENT
CITY FATHERS WILL HAVE A
 BUSY THEE TONIGHT.
The Adams Street Ordinance will Come Up Again, Increase of Police Department to
 Be Discussed.

Matters of interest and importance to Montgomery will come before the City Council at It's regular meeting tonight.
 For the first time in five months the atmosphere is clear about the police de- partment.
 The officers and patrolmen of the former administration, not re-appointed by Chief A. s. Gerald, no more cloud the serenity of the council. But two of the new patrolmen remain to be con- firmed. Their fate will be determined by the Council tonAGht. In all probability action may be taken on the recommenda- tion of the Chief for additional patrolmen and a patrol wagon tonight.
 The Committee on Fire Department will report on the bids for the new chemical engine. fire engine and hose.
 Some action may be taken on the grad ing of Adams Street at the corner of Bainbridge, which has been hanging fire for over a month in the Council on ac- count of a dispute as to the cost of the work.
 Among the long standing ordinances, which may after tonight cease to worry the City Fathers are the ordinance to cede the north end of North Court Street to the Western of Alabama Railway, and the ordinance to allow the Montgomery Street Railway to enter the Union Depot.
 There will also come up numerous mat ters of less importance.

Beauty Doctors for Rahiaa.

The first to enter the profession of baby beautifying was a lady.
 She set up in business in the west end Of London and began by paying her small patients two or three visits a week. according to arrangement.
 Eyeorows are encouraged and even made by the help of vaseline and other things. Lashes of the Tong and sIlky'' variety are merely a matter of scissors luoiciously applied in a semi-monthly trimming by a skilled hand.
 Distended. ugly shaped ears are per- suaded to fall back into place by proper manipulation. and dabby cheeks, vigor- ously massaged and treated" assume a delicate coloring and contour.
 Dainty nails and tapering finger tins commonly regarded as q mark of aristoc- racy. are certain if the child's hands are treated by the baby beautiier, who man icures the tiny shell-like nails two or three times week and assiduousiy but gently presses the little finger tips into shape.
 To transform a particularly plain child into high type of beauty would recuire the services of a be1utiner at least once 6 day, and for this transformation from SSO to s1oo month is said to be the charge.

IS NOT A CANDIDATE.
Hon. W. H. Sanford will Not Enter
 Congressional Race.

NOAB BES91AO1A1 E6aCes
 Hon. w. H. Sanford, of Troy, will not be candidate for Congress from the Second District.
 He has announced positively that it is not his purpose to make the race. There has been more or less discussion of Mr. Samford's probable candidacy. In Pike and Montgomery Counties there has been more or less political gossip connecting Mr. Samfords name with the Second District race.
 In reference to this gossip the Troy Messenger of yesterday makes the fol- lowing authoritative statement:
 Mfr. Sanford has received 8 strong solicitation to enter the race, and many strong and influential men from all over the district, realizing his ability, have urged him to announce, to him pledging their support. Mr. Sanford, however, when seen today, stated that fop reasons private and personal he would not enter the race.
 This leaves the contest between Con- gressman A. A. Wiley and Hon. Bibb Graves.
