COLD NIGHTS CAUSE CATARRH.
Everyone Should Use HyOmei and XIII
 the Germs.

the Germs
 No other season of the year is re- sponsible for as many cases of catarrh as the Spring. The warm days and cold nights, with their frequent and sudden changes in temperature, bring the catarrhal "snuffles" to nearly ev- eryone.
 The germ-killing and health giving Hyomei, when breathed through the pocket inhaler that comes with every outfit, penetrates to the most remote cells of the air passages and respira- tory organs. It searches out and kills catarrhal germs in the head, throat and lungs. soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane. and absolutely drives catarrh from the system.
 The complete Hyomel outfit costs but one dollar. and includes an inhaler and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment You take no risk in buying Hyomei. E. G. Fowler absolutely agrees to refund the money if 1t does not give satisfaction. nX2-I2-2A

some one,' we are told. '1s in search of an explosive that will not explode except at the right time" Such a discovery would be one of the wonders of the age. The great fault of all the high explosives Is their tendency to go off when an explosion is not wanted, and when it will cause great damage. If it were possible to manufacture something like dynamite that could be absolutely controlled under all circumstances and on all oc- casions 1t would be of almost incalcu- iable value to the world.

That Thing Called Society.

That thing called Society Is a snare and a delusion that does almost as much harm to the inexperienced hu- man race as the handling of many millions without due practice. The lessons it teaches don't last till the first striped suit Is worn out, for in- deed when once the absconder returns to Uncle Sam's domain, that same So- ciety wines and dimes him till he wishes he had another bank to do something with. He is a celebrity whose acquaintance is sought.

Writing . History of pa,i..

An interesting and Interested visitor to Montgomery Is Prof. w. D. Dodd. who has the chair of history at Ram dolph and Macon College. Although ,n erable repute as a historian. He is in Montgomery for the purpose of secur- ing data for a Life of Jefferson Davis" upon which he is now working.
 The history of Davis is to form part of The American Crisis. series of the Eastern publishers. The first two vol- tunes of this series, the lives of Lincoln and of Benton. have already come from the press. It is probable that the Da- wis history will be the third volume of the series.
 Professor Dodd is enthusiastic over the mine of information which he has found in Montgomery. He spent all of yesterday in the Department of Arr chives and History and he spoke An the most complimentary terms of Director Thomas M. owen and of that DeDart- ment and of his work. He does not purpose. he says. to stop at historic records in pursuing the subject of Mir. Davis's life. but he will interview men who had the honor of a personal &C., quaintance with the President of the Confederacy. both his political adhAr- ents and his opponents, thereby secur- ing every view possible of the South
 Professor Dodd some time ago puh- lished a history of Nathaniel Macon of North Carolina, which has been com mended highly. Macon was q member of Congress from 1791 to 1928 and was Speaker of the House of Representa- son.
 The Virginia Historian expresses himself as delighted with Montg He expect to remain here severol days.

Uniform Corporation Layys.

MT. A. c. Sexton, Chief Clerk in the office of the Secretary of State of Ala bama, will leave tonight for Nashville. Tenn. where he goes to attend the an- nual meeting of the National Associa- tion of Secretaries of State, as the per sonal representative of Hon. Edwin R. McDavid. Secretary of Ala abama,
 The Convention will be in session Thursday and Friday and prominent men from all over the country will he present.
 One of the principal subjects to De discussed" said MT Sexton, yesterday, twill be the feasibility of recommend ing uniform corporation laws for the States. Each Secretary of State will outline the corporation laws in his State. and we hope 70 make a compre- hensive report embodying the best fea- lures in all of them. This is a matter that has interested me several years and I expect to be benefited greatly by participation in the meeting.'
 Tn view of the fact that MT. Sexton will undoubtedly be candidate next year for Secretary of State. his ideas will be valued highly by the gathering In Nashville.

ing committed matrimony about forty times" Just how many of these wives were put out of the way by him Is not certainly known. but it is pretty well established that he murdered eight of them by poisoning. and 1t Is believed that four moro of them were put to dearn by him.
 How he managed to carry on such wholesale criminality Is hard ito imagine. because 1t is diff1cult to con- ceive such a human being as he has shown himself to be. Another un- solvable mystery is to explain how he could kypnotize or deceive so many women. man not infrequently mar ries two or three women before he Is caught up with. but this man seems to have taken two, of them into the fold in the course of a few years, most of whom were left alive, but if any of them became aware of his promiscuous habit of taking wives they seem to have remained silent. It was not until for the twelfth time his wife died soon after marriage that suspicion was aroused, and his trial and conviction followed. But marry ing and poisoning wives was not the whole of his crimes for we learn from a contemporary that among the charges against him are thirty-three of embezzlement, one of abduction, thirty-nine each of confidence games and obtaining money under false pre- lenses. two of larceny as bailee. two of forgery and twenty-seven of per- jury. in addition to practicing medi- cine illegally and using hypnotism in his practice of crime.
 Has there been such criminal re- cord in modern times? And does 1t look possible for. q man in this coun- try to carry on such a series of crim- inal acts and not be suspected? It Is one of the strange things that do occur but we can't tell how.

Doing Quite wen. Thank..

TO old citizens of Montgomery, .the progress o fthe city during the last twelve months is more than gratiIy- ing, said & we'll known citizen yester- day. First and foremost, the new hotel IS to be considered. The workmen nave started putting in ornamentaI work in this massive structure and l tell you. It's going to look fine.
 II believe that where there's so much smoke there must be some fire, and out of all the rumors of an office building and new business houses, we'll Ut least get one office building and several new business structures in the early future.
 Two years ago Montgomery dld not have a park that deserved the name, now we have three that will compete fayorably with any amusement places in the South, The street railway contro- versy Is causing both roads to make improvements that would never have been thought of had there not been competition.
 We have two neat and well man. aged theatres. Competition in the light business has illuminated Mont gomery in such a way that the city shines as well as any of her sisters as far as illumination is concerned. And we've got winning ball team.
 If our people will cultivate the Montgomery spirit and brag when they go away from home we'll hold our own with Southern cities"

which is the.rule, double-headers being not infrequent, make the average na- tive family look smaller in comparison, and has precipitated this discussion by the natives and If this matter hed not come to public attention, a Jim Crow school would be instituted in Harwich under the guise of providing special accommodations for the "Brava" sec tion of the town.
 When the American whalers began to frequent that part of the Atlantic in which the Cape Verde islands are sit- uated, they found the seafaring natives of the island of Brava highly desira- ble additions to their crews. They were skilful boatmen. good sailors. quick. in- telligent, peaceable, honest and trust worthy, and, like the white Azorean Portuguese, and for similar reasons. they became a fixture in the American whaling industry Just as in the case of the Azorean Portuguese, also, life on American whalers naturally led up to an acquaintance with New Bedford and the opportunities which New England offered for employment ashore. The same qualities which common ded the "Bravas" to the captains of whalers secured them employment by New Eng land farmers and other employers or labov, especially on and about Cape Cod.
 Passenger schooners have thus come to supplement the whaler as the con- meeting link between the Cape Verdes and our Massachusetts industrial and agricultural life.
 The Bravas.
 The term "Bravas" remains cono- quially in use as convenient designa- ton for the Cape Verde islanders in general. Immigrants, however, are no ynx. ff,,otf fnd t1 a rfv rfYIn f. toes from the island of Brava- Ac- quaintance with the opportunities which Massachusetts affords has ex- tended to the other islands as well, and brings to us not only the Po1uguese mu,sttSes' m s,t1ss but the ancient p blood
 So many of these 'Brava% have come to Harwich during the last twen- ty years, and they have multiplied there at so rapid a rate that they now make up a considerable part of the population of the township, and the natives are greatly annoyed, and even alarmed by the turn affairs have taken the more that a native girl has re- gently married one of them.
 The result is that Harwich would prevent further "Brava" immigration if 1t could, and a movement Is on foot there to get the 'Brava" children out Of the natlv0 ScnOOis.
 At the last town meeting the school committee were appointed a special committee to consider and report upon the advisability of establishing "Jim Crow" school. Of course the word "Jim Crow" does not appear in the town meeting records, and of course the good people of Harwich do not openly use 1t in their talk. They know perfectly well that they cannot legally establish a separate school for colored people, but they hope by establishing new school for the locality In which the majority of the colored people live, to effect the same thing without vio- lating the law, and even without at- tracting attention. It will be very simple thing, they say, to grant per mits to the few white children who be- long in the new school district to att tend school elsewhere if they so de- sire.

Patrol Wagon ,s Rusting.

'"The city has purchased an ambu- lance for the use of the emergency hos pital" said a citizen of Montgomery yesterday "and 1t is to be hoped that the City Council will see fit to buy a pair of horses to pull 1t.
 Some months ago. the city fathers, in burst of civic pride, spent $950. in buying a handsome police patrol swag- on. The people of Montgomery re- joiced at the idea of advanc ement in the police department and the Council men were praised Tor thelr wisdom m has never been driven from Police Headauarters to bring an unrulg priso- ner to the city prison for the simrle reason that the wagon is without mo- tive power. The police say that evycy man on the force Is needed to patrol a beat and that four men cannot be spar ed from their present duty to man the Black Maria day and night.
 'The Council refused to give the police department any additional men. and as a result the wagon Is collecting dust In room of the City Building"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-05-24
The Reason Why.

Interviews with citizens of Harwich disclose that they admit the law-abtd- ing, temperate and frugal habits of their colored neighbors-that they are honest and pay their bills, but they lay particular stress on their dirty habits They have not the Yankee" mania for keeping everything spotless. The housekeeping methods are differ ent, and the numerous children, rang ing in color from black to olive, are let to run about the streets dirty and without particular care as to style in garments.
 In answer to the question why the Harwich people want to establish a "Jim Crow' school, they lay great ularly on the case of one of these Por- tuguese 'bravas," who a couple of years ago was found to be afflicted with leprosy But they admit conf1den- tially that they are influenced less by a dread of dirt and numerous children and disease than by dislike of the "Bravas" color. Beyond this fact of their color. for which they arc not re- sponsib1e. they have no serious charge to bring against them.
 They find them most useful, as cram berry pickers and laborers in every field. They admit that they are thrifty and industrious ''On Cape Cod" said the Rev. Frederick E. Emerich, the other day, at a meeting of the Massa chusetts Conference for Town and Vil- lage Betterment, ''the Portuguese are turning the country into a garden"
 So 1t Is that when the first opportu- nifty is given, the old, old story Is re- peated. Human nature Is alike every where, and while 1t is not probable that this movement for a "Jim Crow" school will succeed. 1t is an interesting incident in New England life, all the same.

DISCUSSES RAILROADS

Hartford, Conn, March S0--Charles
s, Mellen president ~ the New York
New Haven e Hartford railroad, APP
peared today before the committee on
railroads of the Connecticut general as
sembly to advocate certain proposed
amendments to the charter OF the Con-
solldated Railway company, the hold
Ing corporation Of 400 miles OF trolley
lines owned by the New York, New
Haven e. Hartford company During
the course Of his argument Mr.. Mellen
discussed the question OF corporate
control saying In part;
THE demand which has resulted for
a strict supervision of railroads In the
interest OF the public welfare Is the
issue OF the hour. II Is right II should
be had. There have grown up great
abuses without doubt, and Il is time
they were laid bare and stopped.
"A railroad enjoys great priyileges
from the public. II performs public
service, II imposes a tax which should
be alike to all who use Il, and II II
cannot handle Itself without discrim-
mating between persons and places and
treat all alike fairly, It is time for the
public which created 1t 20 supervise
It and control It, when It has shown It
cannot be trusted TO control itself,
But It is not a project to be entered
upon hastily. You do not want TO make
the cure worse than the disease Here
Is not case for the dillettante, for the
orlst, for crank, but for the man OF af-
fairs, the jurlst Of repute, the man who
puts his citizenship above other con,
siderations, Give Il into their hands
and give them time, and do not make
another bunder like the Interstate COM
merce law and establish tribunal that
will be so ANXIOUS for more power It
will neglect TO use what II has"
