Rainproof Suits.
York Tribune.

New \ Ork lrl0une.
The time is coming, and it IS not
far off, when men and women will
wear rainproof suits as we'll as coats,
for the process Of waterproofingcloth
has become so extensive that any
cloth. can be treated without altering
its color. Indeed, it has been long
day since fashion gave to men such
a boon as the raincoat has proved.
The raincoat doesn't show on its
surface that it is a raincoat, and it is
worn on the sunniest day as we'll as
the wettest with equal facility and
good taste. While it is at present
distinctive garment, there are signs
which point to a rainproofing here
after for all styles of overcoats. That
in vogue is an easy step to the apph-
cation of the process to suits of all
descriptions. How handy water
proof full dress suit would be at some
banque:s The process is cheap
enough. 1t costs only twenty-five
cents a yard. In addition to the
made to include a so called moth
proof quality By some firms. Vanish
the moth balls!

STEPS ARE TAKEN
 TO SAVE THE BOY
Harry Williams Will Be Sent to Spe- cial Reformatory In New
 York.

Montgomery August 9.-(Special)- governor Roundsman Sweeney Chief or Police Gerald and Father Eaton of the Catholic church have come together in an effort to save Harry Williams, l3- year-oid boy, who has made the authorl- ties a great deal of trouble. The boy has just been convicted of burglary and given a sentence by Judge William H. Thomas of the city court amounting to four years.
 The judge took this course with the view of having the governor parole the boy so that he could be sent to re- formatory by Father Eaton, which, he thinks, will make a good man of him. The reformatory is located in New York and Is of a kind to handle such cases. The governor issued the parole this morn ing and the youngster will be sent away to his duties at once He Is bright iit- tie fellow. and it Is thought that he can be saved from the career of crime he has so far seemed determined to follow.

Landed in Jail.

This morning Deputy Sheriffs Key and Williams arrested MT. Newton Smoke. who, having been charged with assault with weapon, failed to show up at the preliminary trial and Deputies Townsend and Williams have thought for some time that first and last they would have 10 pay about S100 each for his failure Some weeks ago w. A Burden swore out a warrant against Smoke, charging him with having stopped the plaintiff on the road and at the point of pistol made him get down from his wagon, and otherwise subjected him to abuse.
 Deputies Williams and Townsend exc cuted the warrant, going in search of their man, heavily armed with Winches- ters and expecting trouble. When they found Smoke he seemed such a quiet fellow that the officers were constrain- ed to allow him to report at the jus tice court on his own recognizance. The defendant never showed up at the pre- liminary and the two officers have been expecting the state to call upon them for forfeiture bond of about $1O0 each.
 Today Officers Williams and Key saw Smoke and immediately put him under arrest He was forthwith carried to the county jail where he will give bond for his appearance in good and sufficient surety or remain until the courts have decided his case

CATERSTO NO ONE CLASS

Montgomery, August 9.-lspeciaD D-con- corning the aid which the state will give the immigration movement, Governor Jeks said today:
 T saw the interview with Major Frank Anderson in the Birmingham Age-Herald, and also read the resolution which was passed at the meeting of the executive committee of the Alabama Immigration association. Major Frank Anderson is made to say that a certain sum of money would be turned over to the association tical plan was outlined and adopted by the association.
 The reporter evidently misunderstood Major Anderson. l made it clear to the committee that l should spend all the money at my disposal in my own way, and through an agent of my own selec- tion. agreeing with the committee that waited on me at Blount Springs to hear their suggestions, and if they met with my views. to adopt them There could have been no misunderstanding by any member of the committee and myself, and that is why, l am sure, Major An derson was misunderstood by the re- porter As a further evidence that the reporter must have misunderstood Major Anderson, the resolutions adopted by the executive committee do not carry out the views said to have been entertain ed by Major Anderson.
 Work on Movement.
 For several months have been grow ing more and more interested in the sub Ject of immigration, and felt more and more that now is the time when, per haps, we could realize on a practical effort to induce homeseekers to settle with us. l wrote MT. l.. D. Gilbert, sec- retary of the Montgomery Commercial and Industrial association, on July s, in part as follows:
 The difficulty i1 securing immgra- ton for agricultural lands in this state grows out of the fact that the state or agent of the state has no particular or specified lands and terms under which he can offer them. l am of the opinion that mere praise of the richness Of the soil generally, the salubriousness of the climate and the character of the people, would not be effective in secur- ing what we want. If l had sufficient money under my control to run an immi- grafton bureau, and could secure the cooperation of men who would form a land company, which land company l could afford to underwrite, I think there would be no difficulty in securing a de- cent lot of immigrants for the farms. Labor for the industries can be more easily secured. The furnace men and the mine men have defln-.e place and defl- mite terms to offer to the homeseeker. The unorganiaed owners of land have no such terms, and hence the difficulty
 "In any statement made or letter writ ten. I think will be found no evidence that I intenoed to make a special effort to secure any special class of laborers, shutting out either furnace men, mill men or farmers; and nowhere will there be found that I have offered to turn over the trifing fund which have at my disposal to any certain persons what eyer."
