1t is a bad habit to borrow anything,
but the worst thing you can possibly
borrow, is trouble. When sick, sore,

disorders, don't sit down and brood over
your symptoms, but fly for relief to
Electric Bitters. Here you will find sure
and permanent forgetfulness of all your
troubles, and your body will not be
burdened by load of debt disease. At
the drug store of F. A. Shurtleff & Co.

line is progressing in order doubtless fo aid in the turning movement.
 The weather is still cold in Man ehuria, but the roads are hard from frost, and the movement of big armies is thus rendered possible. A general battle is in progress, or rather a gen eral effort to dislodge Kuropatkin. II the Russians are forced to leave the Shakhe, no one can foresee what may occur. The great decisive battle of the war may be at hand. The Car has expressed great confidence in ku- ropatkin's army, and if Oyama drives it back and perhaps heavily assails u and defeats it, peace will soon hover over the far east. The Russians stake all on the strength of Kuropatlin's army, and if that be defeated, peace would be inevitable. Oyama is there' fore fighting for a speedy peace on Japanese terms.

Above Ten Stories.

The new sl1yscraper hotel is to De twelve stories high, we are glad to say If it had been decided to make it but eleven stories high, The Age-Herald would have rejoieed. Anything to break the ten-story rule would have been satisfactory. The future Birm- ingham will not be ten-story sky scraper town It will aspire to some thing that reaches further into the sky. A ten-story skyscraper was ex- cellent to begin with, but we have come to time when we should break over the ten-story line.
 The new hotel is to be known as "The Jefferson" which is the favorite name of all good democrats, and it is to be twelve stories high. This town needs another hotel, and it especially needs one that overtops all the rest. This will be one of the glories of the new hotel, and it's other glories will be found no doubt down below.

Extra SessIon of Connress.

It seems to be settled that Presi- dent Roosevelt will convene Congress on October ? to consider first of all the proposed railroad rate legislation. At first he intended to call an extra session in April or May, but he has finally been induced to postpone the call to the second day of October
 The Presidents pans look to dis position of the railroad problem be- fore the time Of the regular session is reached. He wants the regular session to be unhampered so that it can undertake a revision of the Ding ley tariff. The Presidential heart IS set on a revision of the tariff and on the passage of railroad rate bill.
 The President has not been very successful in obtaining from the pres ent Congress what he wanted. He gets big naval increase, and that IS about all. His other propositions have been denied. The next Congress will be a tidal-wave Roosevelt Congress, and no doubt he will fare better in it. He will have no little influence in it, and he may be able to push through both houses his two bills He re- gards tariff revision and railroad leg islation as politically important. but he considers the latter as matter of principle, while the former is mat ter of policy.
 The contest between the President and the strong interests will be fought out in the new Congress, and a very active and spirited session is antici- pated from the meeting in October to the day of adjournment in 1906.

ANIMALS THAT WEEP.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 There are many scientists and men who are accustomed to deal with animals who give authentic instances of having seen animals shed tears as a result of strong emotion. Humboldt tells us that he had monkey which wept when it was seized with fear. Rengger says that he has often seen the eyes of small South American monkey fill with tears when he was deprived of some coveted object or made very much afraid of some thing. Darwin cites a case of a monkey from Borneo in a geological garden which was frequently moved to tears when grieved or pitied.
 Elephants also have been known to show their grief in this way. During an elephant hunt in Ceylon one of the spectators relates that many of the eie- plants when bound showed no feeling except grief and remained perfectly mo- tionless while the tears streamed from their eyes. Female elephaWs are often ! affected in the same way when their young are taken from tha)n.

FAIRHOPR COLONY
 HAS FALLING OUT

Mobile, March 1.-Trouble has been brewing for some time in the single tax colony at Fairhope, across the bay from Mobile, over the matter of increased rentals which have been assessed against the eolonists by reason of the increased value of the land. brought about by public and private improvements.
 News reached the city today that the tension which has been aparent there for some weeks culminated at a meeting held by the members of the colony on Monday night. At this meeting several speeches were made criticising an arti- ce which appeared in a Mobile news paper on Sunday. Dr. Hail, whose wife is supposed to nave written the article, took umbrage at the speeches, and at- tackled Prof. Belangee with an open knife. Tuesday morning Dr. Hail again met Prof. Belangee on the street and severely assaulted him. Dr. Hail was placed under arrest and admitted to bail or $500 to appear before the court at Bay Minette.
