hind the bars for the Supreme Court 70 decide his case, he might as well pc working out his time, so that 1T an ar hrmance was had, the valuable mo- ments would not have been wasted
 So for six months Wesley Wilson mas worn the stripes and performed the Ia bors of one of those wards of the state that are watched by guards to keep the State from losing such valuable pos sessions.
 Last week, the august tripunai, known as the Supreme Court of Ala bama, rendered decision in the case of Wesley Wilson vs. The State of Ala bama, in which 1t was stated that the City Court of Montgomery had erred In the first trial of the case.
 Wesley Wilson was ordered back Into the custody of Jailer P. M McLemore of Montgomery County.
 Yesterday Wesley Wilson began to think about what had become of his six months of hard work. He was In formed that if he was convicted in July, when he will next be tried. the time served by him will not be credited to him, as there Is no statute on that par ticular point. and in case of acauittal his six months of hard work will count for nothing, unless he receives pay un- der authority of special act of the Legislature.

BACK FROM REUNION
GENERAL HARRISON PROUD OF
 ALABANKA's SHOWING
More Veterans Present in LOuisviiie From This state Than Any Other --Division Will Meet fin
 Huntsville.

g The MontEomery special train which eolIed into the Union railway station nt II o'clock yesterday morning rom Louisville brought the first of the re- turning Confederate re-union visitors. Attached to this train, made up espe- cfalIy at Louisville for the Montgom- cry veterans was the private car Of Genera George P. Harrison. Commander of the Alabama Division of the United Confederate Veterans.
 The train was one of the very first to leave the reunion city after the big parade of the last day It left Louis vilIe Friday afternoon at o'clock and was expected to reach here yesterday morning at o'clock on an independent schedule The special brought back only Alabama visitors to the reunion
 General Harrison was very much pleased with the reunion and espe- cially with the showing that the Ala bama Division made.
 DO you know" he asked, that Ala bama had more veterans in line than any other State of the South? We'll, it's a fact The papers of Louisville said that Kentucky had more veterans present than any other State. but they were mistaken. We had the largest crowd there Why, at 12 o'clock on the first day of the reunion no less than 300 veterans from Alabama had registered at our Division headquarters at heAourt house. I don't know how many there were in the city who did not register and I don't know how many came in after. but firmly believe that we had the best and biggest array.
 You know that while we were in Louisville the official announcement was made that the Alabama Veterans would hold their annual State union at Huntsville on October 25 to 26. Huntsville was very eager to secure the re-union They were willing to offer any inducement. received petitions signed by every city official. by every county officials. by various organizations and by 500 business men of the city. Personally. ] am pleased to go to Huntsville. The Tennessee Valley city has always been loyal to the Confederates and to the Confeder- ate cause. Besides the reunion ought to go to Huntsville in order to give the North Alabama veterans a chance. We never have had a reunion any farther north than Birmingham and most of them have been held in Mont gomery and Mobile. This time we will give the North Alabama Veterans a better chance than we have ever yet done. And I know we are going to be hospitably treated"
 The party which made the trip in General Harrison's car. included, Mrs. Harrison, Mir and Mrs. Harvey Will Hams of Opelika. Miss Mary Morris Clarke. of Mobile the sponsor for the Alabama Veterans and Miss Mary Dan ner of Mobile. her maid of honor.
 Miss Clarke stopped in Montgomery to become the guest of General and Mrs. w. c. Oates as did Miss Catherine Jelks who came in on the same train. Miss Jelks was 8 member of the party

A Correction.

Senator Dubois. of Idaho, tells of the case of a miner in that State who had been reported as dead by a num- Der of the Idaho newspapers. says Col Hers.
 It would appear that the miner had keen sense of humor. for with ref erence to an obituary of himself which appeared in Boise City paper the all legged dead man addressed the editor with view to correcting certain mis- statements in the said obituary.
 My dear sir" wrote he, relative to the obituary of myself appearing in your issue of the 22d ult., beg to call your attention to several errors there in. In the first place, was born in Massachusetts. not in Rhode Island 1: secondly, my retirement from the liq- uor business in the year 1899 was not due to i'll health. but to the fact that was unable to secure a renewal of my license, and thirdly, the cause of my death was not heart disease"

HERE'S A NEGRO WHO WORKED
 SIX MONTHS WITHOUT REWARD

Wesley Wilson. Montgomery County negro, voluntarily performed six months work for which he will receive no pay.
 Let not labor agents and farmers of Alabama so direly in need of labor prick up their ears. There is not an- other negro in Montgomery County who would do the Wesley Wilson act Wes- ley Wilson will not do it again. In fact, Wesley Wilson Is not open to any engagements just now. He is being forcibly detained in the Montgomery County jail. The reason of his deten- ton Is not that he labored six months for nothing. It is that an indictment is on file against him in the City Court of Montgomery, charging that he did remove mortgaged property against the peace and dignity of the State of Ala bama.
 Wesley Wilson is a walking hard luck story. Happy Hooligan could win money from him on Friday. the 13th !. Listen to his story:
 Wesley Wilson was tried and convict ed of removing mortgaged property. He was sentenced to serve one year and one day in the State penitentiary. His counsel appealed the case to the Su- preme Court of Alabama. Wesley Will son considered himself wise. He req soned that while he was waiting be-

Atlantis has a world wide reputation having appeared before the dignitaries of many lands; her famous Japanese robe will be on exhibition the whole week.
 Really the importance of this event, the appearance of the incomparable dancer, cannot be too strongly empha- sized. The San Francisco Dramatic Review of May "A, 1901, said or her: The only difference between La Loie Fuller and Atlantis and Papinta and Atlantis is that Atlantis is little bet ter than either of those famous per formers"

 For two solid hours last night the Grand Opera House resounded with the heartiest laughter and applause heard there in some time. The cause of 1t all was the splendid rendition by Heisman Stock Company or the enorm- ously successful comedy. Niobe.'

PICKETT SPRINGS CASINO.
Helsman Stock Company Opens Mon
 day Night with "NIObe."

Heisman Stock Company Opens MOn-
 day Night with "NlObe."
 Tomorrow night the Heisman Stock Company will open at the Pickett Springs Casino in Harry Paulton's high toned comedy ''Niobe."
 This is a favorite play with the per manent stock companies of the larger cities and never fails to please great ly. Its plot is unique il the extreme, perhaps the best way to describe It being to say that 1t Is 'Pygmalion and Galatea" brought up to date.
 That the Heisman company will pre- sent the play in an artistic and capable manner admits of no doubt. Manager Heisman has a reputation for being able to produce high class plays in a high class manner that is equalled by few, and the people of Montgomery have not forgotten his splendid achieve ments of last summer.
 MT. Heisman has again assembled a very clever company of carefully se- lected stock actors and brings them direct from the Grand Opera House. Augusta, Ga, where they have been playing. The Augusta papers have praised them highly.
 Manager Heisman announces that the bill will be changed every evening and that high class comedies and farce comedies will predominate as they proved to be most popular with the people of Montgomery last summer A point to be emphasized is that the spe- cialties between the acts will be on an exceptionally high plane of merit The latest moving pictures will be shown with the aid of Edls5n's kinitograph. and these will be changed twice week. ly. Beautifully illustrated songs will be sang by Joseph Vance, the well known opera baritone, and these will also be changed bi-weekly.

Relief From Mosquitoes.

It is not known, perhaps, to all nurses that flies and mosquitoes hate the smell of lavender, says a writer in the Hospital Review. In my nursing I managed to secure sleep for a fly tormented patient in the following simple manner.
 Pour into an atomizer half a tea spoonful of oil of lavender, add to this as much alcohol as will make a satur- ated solution. Lightly spray a pillow with this. and place 1t under the pa- tient's head. If the flies are very bad. cover the eyes and nose, and spray the hair, night dress and bed clotehs Not a fly will come around while the ahnr Is perceptible. l,

 Park.
 By invitation of General Manager W. H. Ragland of the Montgomery Traction Company, a party If about fifty ladies and gentlemen. including officials of the city government and officials of the Capitol Heights Devel- opment Company, made a trip to the end of the line built by the car conn pany to Electric Park att 6:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 A special car was run from Five Points to the present terminus of the new line and every member of the party greatly enjoyed the trip. The track and roadbed is of the same ex- cellence that has made the Pickett Springs line notable and notwith- standing the fact that the track is not yet in finished condition. the ride was unusually smooth and pleasant. Long stretches of straight track give oppor- tunity for fast running and the run to the park was made in good time.
 MT. Ragland said that it was Im- possible to say just yet when cars would begin running on the Electric Park line but schedule would be in- stituted as soon. as the double-track was fitted with feed wires and other equipment.
