 At 1O:So o'clock after the morning busi- ness was over, Dr. Hughes, while sitting in his office was told that his associates wished to see him a moment in the rear office. When Dr. Hughes walked back he was confronted with all the employees connected with the postoffice whose af- fairs he has administered for the last seven years Almost hundred in num- Der, they represented every department in the offce from the assistant post master to the humblest clerk or mail carrier.
 When pr. Hughes had somewhat re- covered from the surprise excited by the gathering, R. c. Delona, clerk in charge of the Woodawn station, stepped for ward with an exquisite case in his hand. Addressing the postmaster, Mr. Delona said that the employees. anticipat- ing Dr. Hughes early retirement from office, wished to meet him in a body and to assure him of the high esteem ane kindly regard they cherished for him. He said that since Dr. Hughes had be- come postmaster he had treated all the employees courteously and kindly, and that the employees wished to present to him a token of their affection. Saying this. MT. Delona handed to Dr. Hughes the case held in his hand
 The case contained handsome import- ed hunting case gold watch On the front were inscribed in monogram the initials "J w. H." and on the back the numerals "19O5" On the inside of the case were the words: Presented by the employees of the postoffice, Birmingham, Ala

THE WEATHER

Washington, February 26.-Foreeast for Alabama: Fair Monday and Tuesday; light variable winds.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-02-27

opportune time to do 8 great thing in what is destined to be one of the greatest mining sections of the world. If this en- dowment policy can be brought to a suc- cessful issue then the problem of human suffering incident to the labors necessary to be performed in this district will be provided for all time. The fund being begun by the citizens of the district purely on the ground of humanity, ought to get over all friction between those who are undertaking to solve the indi- vidual problems of their particular or ganization.
 "The committee realizes the gravity of disbursing so large a sum of money as has already been contributed and under stands thoroughly well that after the first nervousness is over that a demand for a sensible explanation of where the sums have gone will be made. It fur ther realizes that the whereabouts of every dollar can be easily ascertained by the eye of man, but that the wisdom of the placing of this sum is likewise under the eye of God. A committee will there- fore seek for the best light in discharg ing it's responsibility to the sufferers and to this community"

TRAIN GANG SNOWBOUND

DURANGO, Colo, Jan. 1s.-After
fearful sufferings. during which one
man was frozen to death and another
became insane, the surviving members
OF party that tried to open I'D the
Bigg Lumber Company's railroad from
Lumberton to FL Vado have been res
cued.
A train crew with gang Of shovel
ers left Lumberton last Wednesday
morning. The road, which follows the
western slope Of the continental divide,
was blockaded by snow all the way to
Ell Vado. thirty-two miles south of
Lumberton. Drifts from three to flf-
teen feet deep were ecountered, and the
weather was intensely cold. The train
reached a point twelve miles south of
Lumberton- when the supply of coal
and water ran out and the entire party
was forced to remain there for forty
eight hours.
Engineer Redmond's feet were frozen
and a number of the shovelers were
frostbitten. Two Mexicans in the party
started to walk to Lumberton. One Of
them was frozen to death and the other
was rescued by Indians. He was ter
r1bly frozen and had become insane.
The party was finally rescued by a
relief train sent from FL Vado. The
road Is still blockaded.

No cream which is adulterated shall be
brought into the city and county OF San Fran
cisco or held, kept sold offered for sale
in said city and county; nor shall any one
keep for sale or offer for sale in said city any
such cream.

The term adulterate when used in this SEQ
ton refers to cream to which any foreign
substance whatever has been added
Ragan recommends that the bacteri-
illogical standard of milk purity be
fixed at SOC, 600 per cubic centimeter, as
it is in Boston. Out of 500 samples
submitted the presence of 733,698 bac-
terra has been demonstrated, which Is
far In excess of the health require
ments.
Another ordinance provides regula-
tions for the sale of drugs and pOisons
and prohibits the sale of pure or 95
per cent solution of carbolic acid with
out physicians prescription. In the
matter of adulterated foods the follow
ing regulations are recommended, In
Guiding a special clause on spfrituous
and malt liquors:
The Department of Health Of the city and
county of San Francisco shall consider the evil
dence and findings submitted by the United
States Chemist, w. II. Wiley, OF the Depart
of borax and boracfc acid and shall consider
these two chemicals as ingredients which are
reckoneo as injurious to health.
Spirituous fermented and malt liquors shall
be deemed adulterated If they shall contain
any substance or ingredient not normal or
healthful to exist in spirituous or fermented
or malt liquors or which may be deleterious or
detrimental to health when such liquors are
used a beverage.
Confectionery shall be deemed adulterated II
1t contains terra alba, barytes. tale. OF other

.massacred is said to have been the
oldest missionary in the South Seas.
The Condor was going to call at Yap
for coal and then proceed to New
Gainea and there shoot up a few viii
iages to inspire the savage inhabitants
with respect for the Kaiser and rever-
ence for the dead missionaries reli-
