Mayor is Determined

When he received the reply of the Chief of Police yesterday morning, Mayor Teague said that he had not at first anticipated giving out the corre- spondence until the City Council had taken action on the Sunday ordinance introduced at Monday nights meeting of the Council, but after later consider ation, he had decided to give publicity to the matter in the hope that 1t would have a good effect.
 The Mayor indicated his determine ton to go to any legal length to sup press the violations of Sunday by Montgomery saloonkeepers.
 The whiskey men viewed with some uneasiness a recent announcement from the bench by Recorder Baber that every saloonkeeper convicted in his court of selling intoxicants on Sunday would be fined the limit of the law, $100 and costs Since the beginning of the new city administration, only one convic- ton has been secured for this offense.
 The gravity of a conviction from the viewpoint of the whiskey men lies in the fact that the law provides for a revocation of their license upon a sec ond conviction for selling liquors on Sunday.

WHY KIDNEY DISEASE
 IS DANGEROUS.
Neglect of the First Warning Symp- toms is the Prime Cause of so Many Deaths from the Dreaded
 Brlght's Disease.
It Is Easily Durable i'm the Early Stages.

Kidney diseases are so destructive to human life because they do not manifest alarming symptoms until the constitu- ton is seriously weakened and the strength exhausted. Then, too often, the remedies employed by many physi- clans are of indifferent or doubtful value, and the patient rapidly sinks under the disease. The wisest course is to apply reliable kidney and liver remedy on the first a1pearaHce of the symptoms. A little uneasiness in the small of the back, digestive troubles, bowel irregularities and disorder in the urinary organs are matters of small moment in the estima- tion of strong men and women, yet they have a serious meaning. They show clearly that the kidneys are suffering and need help, which must be forth coming at once to prevent serious, per- haps fatal consequences. A few doses of Prickly Ash Bitters at this time would prove of incalculable value in restoring the weakened organs to health. An investment of one dollar in a bottle of Prickly Ash Bitters when the disease is yet in the early stage will save hundreds of dollars in doctors bills, besides the suffering that would surely follow should the disease be allowed to fasten itself in the body. The excellent curative power of Prickly Ash Bitters is not confined to the first stages of kidney disease. It is equally eficacious in severe or chronic cases. Physicians have used it as a last resort, in cases that defed their best efforts, with the most brilliant results. and it has shown its superiority over the many so-called kidney cures, now being loudly advertised, in instances innu.

NO PERMITS TO TRAMPs.
Mayor VIII Not Allow Vendors on
 Streets.

Mayor Will Not Allow Vendors on
 Streets.
 Mayor Teague has put stop to the issuance of permits to transient trainps and beggars for the sale et snndry ar ticles of merchandise on the thorough fares of Montgomery.
 This ultimatum was announced from the Mayors office yesterday. and It means that thls rowing class of people will no longer be allowed to dispose of their goods on the streets of the city.
 Mir Teague took this action because he regarded these people as nHisances and had been informed rom the police department that the police were having much trouble with them. Mir. Teague is the first Mayor to take positive action along these lines. It had been the custom in the past to issue per mits to these tramps and beggars for the sale of shoestrings, pencils ana trinkets of various descriptions.

Gerald's Reply.

Geraid's Reply.
 The Chiefs reply to the Mayor is as follows:
 Montgomery. Ala. Nov. g. 1905. Hon. W. M. Teague, Mayor. Montgom-
 cry, Ala:
 Dear Sir--Your communication of the sth instant, relative to saloons selling whiskey on Sunday received. T will have instructions issued to the police force to enforce the law. I have no doubt as to the truth of the reports that may have reached you as to gross violation of the present law. T will again reiterate that I believe the Sunday law (selling whiskey on Sunday) is violated by every saloon keeper, with but few exceptions, in the city of Montgomery. It is impossible with the, small police force and the large number of saloons to close them under the present law. The successful enforcement of the Sunday liquor law has been done in other cities, but under vastly different law from the exist ing one of the city of Montgomery. An investigation shows one hundred and twenty (120) places where beer and whiskey are sold, scattered over a territory of many miles in extent, a great many of them operated under cover of restaurant, windows screen ed. and look-outs posted to give warn ing.
 Up to Council.
 The charter of the city confers ann pie authority upon the City Council to regulate the sale of liquor in the city of Montgomery. I sincerely hope that the City Council, in its wisdom, will pass some ordinance that can be en- forced against a most gross, persistent and willful violation of law that has existed for a long time. and thus re- lieve this department from the severe strictures that have been unjustly placed upon 1t.
 T beg to assure you that I will use every effort to obey your instructions, and any failure will be the fault of the means at my disposal, and the inade- quacy of the present ordinance.
 "Very respectfully, "A. Gerald,
 Chief of Police"

WHY GOODS WE'RE so HIGH.
Different Stories Told by the Mercha
 and His MfSchfeyous Clerk.


 An old woman once asked in a dry goods store to be shown some silk A young clerk showed her some, saying: we can do this for you at $1.60 a yard" The woman asked for some- thing better, but the clerk replied that they had nothing better. Whereupon the proprietor came forward and said:
 You must excuse my assistant. madam; he Is new to the business. Here. madam, Is a superior article, $2.60 a yard. If 1t were not for the fact that I bought it some time ago we should to charge you s3.75, for as you are doubt less aware, owing to the recent epi- demic among the silkworms. the price of silk has increased enormously of late" The customer took the silkk. A few days later the same old woman came in and asked for some tape. The clerk said glibly:
 Here is some that we can let you have at 16 cents the dozen yards. If 1t wasn't for the fact that we have had 1t in stock some time we should have to charge 25 cents, for. as you are doubt less aware, owing to the recent epidem- ic among the tapeworms. the price of tape has gone up enormously" It was then she hit him with her umbreilla.

Can ThI. Be the Presidcnts

1T
 A story comes from Washington to the effect that the President Is much incensed that the Commission of Con- sulting Engineers has decided by a vote of eight to five in favor of the sea- level canal. It was given out in the be- ginning that the President was strong advocate of a canal at sea level, and If he has changed his mind It Is peculiar circumstance.
 The story goes that the members of the Advisory Board of Engineers say the President has insulted them. Be- fore they began consideration or the data submitted to them on which they should be sea-level or lock, they visited President fne said to them that while he favored a sea-level canal, they must not be influenced by that, but decide on the best type of canal. They de- cided upon sea-level, and the day af- ter their decision was announced the or of a sea-level canal, and was angry because the Board reported in favor Of
 If this be true, it Is another example of the strange impulsiveness of the President When he espouses a cause or adopts an opinion, he goes in for It with all his might. That is the idea him, and although 1t may have led hin into extremes. it Is quality that has gained him many friends. But if 1t shall turn out that he can suddenly change his opinions and advocate what he once condemned with like head strong enthusiasm, 1t lets a new and q most unfavorable light ip upon a man who has been overwhelmingly applaud ed for his sincerity and devotion to his convictions.

woULD KEEp ON MARRYING.

The Jack London episode has revived discussion on the necessity of uniform marriage and divorce laws. He was unmarried In California and married to another woman in Chicago, but the validity of the latest marriage is ques- tioned, because in some way he failed to comply with all the laws and re- quirements regulating the marriage of divorced persons. He has declared that he will marry his latest wife in every State of the Union, or have a ceremony performed that will stick.
 There is one of the perplexing and not at all creditable anomalies of our laws. A divorce which was legal and valid in California should be equally which would be valid in any State in the Union should be valid in Illinois or any other State. As The Washing ton Star says, what would be effectual would be a Federal regulation of mar riage and divorce which establishes a Territories, granting to all wives the same degree. of legal protection and fixing one standard of propriety in this regard. There is a greater diversity of conditions in the laws relating to marriage and divorce than in any other there is no more important factor in the social life of this country. The family Is the basic unit, and if 1t is not safeguarded is is exposed to many evil influences which tend to weaken the social foundations"
 It Is not merely for the protection of prospective husbands and wives that uniformity is desirable. but for the good of society at large and the good of the family relation. We have been so long accustomed to look on both marriage and divorce as matters to be regulated and controlled strictly by the laws of the several States, each having its own regulations and requirements, that it seems a kind of innovation on States rights to think of having the entire matter regulated and controlled by Federal statute,
 
 South who oppose a national marriage law because they fear that such a law would validate or require the inter- marriage of white and colored citizens and that the States could not prevent it. If such result could or would follow a uniform marriage law, then we agree that the States of the South could not and would not endorse or submit to it. But If that argument is well-founded, it does not apply to uni form divorce laws, and such laws could be enforced without injury to any and with good resultA to all. The main point is that a divorce granted in one State ought to be good in all other States

rhreefola Choice for the student.

Baltimore Herald.
 It has come to pass that higher edu- cation advancing with the rest of civili- zation, now offers special inducements to young men in the choice of methods of death. Formerly the student had to take what he could get or what was given him, but today he may make his selection between the football eleven, the fraternity and the prize ring. Each has special advantages to recommend 1t to the candidate and to the parents am- bilious for the future of their boys and each seems to be equally effective. Veri- ly variety is the spice of death as well as of life
