REFEREE THOMPSON GIVES UP THE FIGHT Postmaster Hughes Will Hav
 to Go SCRAMBLE FOR THE PLACE Referees Will be Careful to Select a Good Man for Hughes Success sor-J. R. Carter May be
 Recommended.
SCRAMBLE FOR THE PLACE
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, January S-(speclal)- J. Referee J. o. Thompson of Birmingham returned homo this morning after mak- ing n hard but unsuccessful effort to have J. W. Hughes retained as Postmas- ter at Birmingham.
 As indicated in these dispatches, the President, owing to the precedent which would be established. was bound to sns- tain his Postmaster General.
 Hughes will give up the postmastership as soon as his successor Is selected.
 It is understood that the Presidents referees Thompson and Scott. will at once begin looking around for a man to put in Hughes place. Naturally, they will seek to have appointed a straightout re- publican rather than democrat. Should they recommend to the President re- publican who Is competent to i'll the of flee, who Is satisfactory to the business interests, and who possesses the con- idence of patrons of the office. 1t is pre- sumed that the President will appoint
 
 him.
 J. R. Carter Mentioned.
 It Is understood here that J. R. Carter former city engineer of Birmingham. may be recommended by the referees for Post master Hughes place. Carter has been a republican since 1896 So far as can be learned no objection can be made to his appointment. It is said that he would be acceptable to the business interests of the town. It is not known here that the referees are going to recommend Carter but persons on the inside believe that 1t is about the most logical recommendation that can be made. The referees doubtless realize that they have got to suggest a good man to the President or they will go through the humiliation of being turned down. This they are of course, very anxious to avoid Hence 1t is believed they will take special pains to put up 1 candidate who cannot be defeated
 Will Appoint Him Soon.
 Just as soon as the Presldent makes up his mind about whom he will appoint the name will be sent to the Senate, and after confirmation Hughes will surrender the office. It is believed that the referees will reach some decision on the matter this week, and an appointment be made in about ten days.
 So far as can be learned here there Is nothing in the report that decision has been reached not to re-appoint Collector Thompson at the expiration of his term. It Is stated at the White House that MT. Thompson was one of the President's s guests there last night and remained with him some time discussing Alabama matters

Failure to Hear.

For this then. first he demanded a hearing. an honest consideration am persuaded that this was the supreme difficulty in his day, and beyond all question Is the difficulty now, the sim pie bringing of the minds of men into contact with the word of truth"
 It is true that there are enough Bibles printed to reach the larger portion of the race. and there are sermons enough to convert millions, but these are heard by only one in ten, even in a Christian land like ours.

Walter Lawrence Arrested.

MT. Bishop declined to give out for pub lication the deposition but before it was concluded Officer White stepped out into the store proper and arrested Walter Lawrence. MT. Bishop stated that he pre- ferred turning the statement as made over to the authorities and therefore did not feel that he should make it public. It Is known, however, to be very short and to contain practically the informa- tion that he was shot by Walter Law renee as he entered the back office of the store and that he had not spoken to Mir Lawrence before he was shot. Upon being asked if the shooting was accident al he stated that 1t was not MT. Law renee is said to have stated when the first outsiders reached the scene that he was cleaning his pistol and that 1t was accidentally discharged, the ball strik- ing MT. Beiman.
 The Age-Heralds correspondent visited the county jail where MT. Lawrence was carried after being arrested and found him closeted with his attorney, Col w. w, Quarles The latter, upon being ap- preached for a statement from MT. Law renee, said that he had cautioned his client not to discuss the affair with any one, and that he had no statement 70 give o11t

This Is the third step in the divine pro- cess of salvation, trusting. How much does one believe, how deep seated is the conviction produced? What does one ven ture on his conviction? These are the crucial question that arise when one an- swers "all my good hopes for the future life, doth things present, things to come" then does he trust, and that is as far as the human soul can go.
 Thus does the normal mind, the ra- tional soul act, swayed by sufficient mo- tives, 1t moves onward in this clear and natural cause. But the process is incom- plete and the apostle would not leave us thus

SHOOTING AFFRAY
 IN SELMA STORE Herman Beiman is Killed by
 Walter Lawrence A WOMAN IN THE CASE Is Reported That the Trouble Grew Out of Alleged Relations Between Lawrence and the Dead Mans
 Wife-Lawrence In Jall.
A WOMAN IN THE CASE

Selma, January S.-(Speclal.) )-This morning about Il o'clock Herman Beiman who runs a dry goods store on Broad street, near Water street, was shot by a pistol in the hands of Walter Lawrence, clerk-tn the store The ball entered at the right of MT. Beiman's nose and came out behind his left ear. The injury re- suited fatally. Mir Beiman dying at 2 D m., at Ford's sanitarium, where he was taken shortly after the shooting.
 The shooting was done in the rear office of the store and there was no one present at the time-but MT. Beiman and MT. Lawrence. The first statement made as to the tragedy was that 1t was acidental but upon becoming con- yinced that death would result from hls injuries, though ,.le physicians, who sooE reached his side, tried to assure him otherwise, MT Beiman asked for a mag istrate that he might make dying de- claration. J. L. Bishop, a prominent at torney, who is a notary public happened te be passing the store and was called in. He cleared the office of all except MT. Beiman, Officer White. Dr. W. w. Harper and s. Eagle and a short depo- s!tion was taken.

Sunday Amusements.

The multiplication of Sunday amuse- ments and employments has destroyed in many minds all reverence and respect for the day, and has drawn them away from the house of God, and no word of truth ever breaks on their dull and apathetic hearing. Thus are multitudes lost to God and good.
 And this leads me, in the second place, to notice the profound conviction of this master mind, that hearing an honest con- sideration of the word of truth would lead to faith. Faith, said he, cometh by hearing"
 He had had a large experience, and had seen this confidence justified in all the large cities of his time. Before all clesses of men he had presented this word and had found 1t effective, and men believed. Has 1t lost any of it's power ? Are not men moved by the same motives, and swayed by the same influences?
 So long as this remains true, hearing must produce faith. and some of us have seen too recently the same truth produc- ing the same results for us to doubt a criminal given over to all low vices, hear and believing and trusting.

Assuming Husbands Name.

The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name Of her
husband at marriage is involved in
much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that 1t originatej
from Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
Of England. Thus. Julia and Octavla,
married to Pompey and Cicero. were
called by the Romans Julia of Pompey
and Octavia of Cicero, and in later
times the married women of most Erl.
ropenn countries signed their names in
the same way, but omitted the "of."
In spite of this theory it is fact that
as late as the sixteenth and the begin
ming OF the seventeenth century a
Catherine Parr signed her name with.
out any change, though she had been
twice married. We also hear of Lady
Jane Grey, not Dudley. and Arabela
Stuart, not Seymour. Some think that
the custom originated with the scrip
tural idea that the husband and wife
are one This was the rule of law as
far back as 1868, and it was decided in
the case of Bon VS.. Smith. in the reign
of Elizabeth. that woman by mar.
rage loses her former name and lie.

Fish that Change Color.

Anglers have noticed that fish OF the
same species caught in the same
stream often differ completely in color
and take protective hues that match
the prevailing local coloring of their
homes. Herr Otto Gotthilf found by
n course of experiments with turbots
that this faculty of changing color is
primarily due to the action of light
upon the optic nerve. The light does
not act directly upon the eye, but is
reflected from such substances as are
around and affects the coloring cells
through the nerve centers of the fish
Proof Of this was obtained by sever
ing the optic nerve OF the turbot. whe1
it was found that it no longer pos
sessed the power of changing color
