Great Satisfaction Is Felt at the Capt.

Been Settled.


Montgomery, April 26.-(SpeciaL)- Gov
ernor William D. jerks has had the mat
ter of the protection of the two negroes
who are to be tried at Decatur next week
for the murder of Miss Belle Bloodworth
some time ago, up with the officials of
Morgan county and has assured them that
he will give them whatever help they
may need for the occasion.
Some days ago the subject was taken up
with Solicitor Al1non and the sheriff and
the ground gone over and 1t was decided
that the state would see that there was
the amplest protection to the prisoners
that the local officers thought necessary.
The prisoners are in Birmingham jail
and will be taken up, according to pres
ent arrangements, tt Decatur, Sunday
afternoon. There is great deal of feeling
against them no doubt, but 1t is not
thought that there is by any means a
certainty of trouble
All Pleased.
There is great satisfaction in every way
over the settlement of the troubles in
the Third Regiment, Alabama National
guard, and 1t is quite certain that an
early day will be set for the examination

will be filled with the best of organiza-

like the other two organizations, has some
of the best men of the state on its rolls.

Food of tho Cod.

About 1874 William Drysdale won Z
medal at q poultry show In Dudley,
Staffordshire. England. The center
part Of the medal consisted OF gold
disc, on which the winners name was
engraved. Mr.. Drysdale's son seems
to have worn the disc and lost 1t
whilst on a visit to Ashington, IN
Northumberland, in 1894. Naturally
he concluded he had seen the last Of
1t, but nearly ten years afterward .
cod fish was caught OF the mouth OF
the Wansbeck, in the stomach OF
which was found the long missing
disc. A Blyth gentleman who had now
become the owner of it published an
account of his find in newspaper.
This caught the eye Of Mr.. Drysdale's
son, who then applied for it as his
property. His notion was that the disc
must have been carried to sea with
refuse and swallowed by the cod.

Would Live In a Cemetery.

VOuto AvC III SSUCISTys
Israel M. Barnes, of North Scituate,
Mass, is to give up his wellfurnished
eight room house in Scituate road to
build and occupy three-room shanty
in the old family graveyard Of his an
cestors, if the law will permit him to
do so. Already relatives have taken
action to prevent him carrying out the
plan. Barnes plans to build the shanty
beside the tomb where his great grand.
parents and his parents are buried. He
has an opportunity to rent his house
at good price. With his son, 10
years old, and his daughter, IA, he in.
sists that he will live in the graveyard.
The graveyard is a private burial
ground, part of the old Vinal estate.
There are many descendants who pro.
tested against Barnes plan, and when
it became known one of them consult
ed an attorney to prevent any shanty
being built. Barnes declares that he
has been unable to buy lot of land
anywhere in the vicinity upon which
he cares to build, and for this reason
he will build in the cemetery.

Lemon juice and salt will remove iron
rust.
A hot lemonade taken before going
to bed will cure a cold on the lungs.
A few drops of kerosene added to the
starch makes ironing easier and lends
a gloss to the linen.
A sofa pillow filled with sweet clover
gives delicious and refreshing odor.
Many prefer clover to pine filing.
The old idea of putting oilcloth un-
der the washstand cover is now adopt
ed for doilies on highly-polished tables.
Lemon juice added to fruit juices
that do not jell readily, such as cherry,
strawberry, ETC., will cause them to
jell.
Hot water and soap generally re-
move grease spots. If fixed by long
standing, use either chloroform or
naphtha.
Salt sprinkled over a low coal fire
will greatly aid in curling feathers.
Shake the plumes constantly and do
not hold them too near the fire.
Baking-powder tins should not be
recklessly thrown away. They are use
full in number of ways, as for ex-
ample, moulding small jeilies, creams
OF rice desserts.
A new method of bleaching almonds
is to soak them overnight in cold wa
ter. This is said to be an improvement
on the usual method Of throwing them
into boiling water.
The appearance of meat pie crusts,
and in fact almost any pastry, is much
improved by brushing with mixture
made by beating the yolk of an egg in
| two tablespoonfuls of milk.
Flies hate the odor of kerosene, it is
said, and if the outside Of a screen door
be rubbed with the oil. the opening of
the door will not be followed by an
inrush OF the winged pests.
Perhaps it is not generally known
that left-overs from a gelatine dish

Coffee Acts tho Jonah and Will Como U1

A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in a country parish in Iowa
tells of his coffee experience:
my wife and used coffee regularly
for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could fnd place on our table.
"In the spring Of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting, which
we had great difficulty in stopping.
ut seemed to come from coffee drink
ing, but we could not decide.
I'm the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. I was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time, and on
my return I found her very low; Ahe
had literally vomited herself almost to
death, and 1t took some days to quiet
the trouble and restore her stomach.
II had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently and had
relieved it each time by resort to
medicine.
..But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was at
the bottom Of our troubles, and so we
stopped 1t forthwith and took on Pos
thm Food Coffee. The old symptoms
of disease disappeared, and during the
years that we have been using Pos
tum instead Of coffee we have never
had q recurrence Of the vomiting. We
