ITS MONETARY REFORM
MEXICO'S SYSTEM TO BE CHANGED
 BY GOVERNMENT DEGREE.
President Diaz Issues Orders and on April 16 Minus of Republic Will Be Closed to Silver Free
 Coinage.

Mexico City. March 26.-President Diaz has issued a decree for the reform of the monetary system as authorized by Congress in December last. The decree establishes the peso or silver dollar. at a value of 50 cents gold, and the theoretical unit of the Mexican cur rency is defined to be the dollar, or peso" of 75 centigrames of gold.
 An important feature of the decree is a provision for reserve exchange fund which at first will consist of $1O,- 900. .O0O or $15,OOO,O0o. and may be i'm creased. The first plan did not pro- vide for the immediate establishment of this fund. but it is now deemed wise to start with one simultaneously with the beginning of the new monetary system.
 The hints will be closed April Is to the free coinage Of silver and the new monetary system will go into effect May 1st.
 The publication of the decree gives great satisfaction in business and financial circles. It assures a continu- ance of stable exchange and assure business men against losses In import ing.

C. B. ALEXANDER HELD
YOUNG MAN ACCUSED OF TAKING
 MONEY FROM LETTER.
He Is Charged by Government With Opening Mail of New OrleRns Minister-His Hearing
 TOslay.


 George B. Alexander. a young white man of Birmingham, Is in the county jail of Montgomery under the serious charge of having taken a letter con taining a valuable enclosure from the United States mail.
 The Federal Government, acting through its agents. yesterday had Alex ander placed in the county Jail. He will today be arraigned for a preliimn- ary hearing before United States Com- missioner John A. Fillmore. on the charge of taking a letter from the mails containing money or the equiva- lent of money.
 Alexander was arrested Friday morning at Jesse Wadsworth's place. in North Montgomery. as stated by The Advertiser. At police headquarters he was held by Sergeant Gladden. Harri- son as a suspicious character. On his person was found a letter addressed to Rev. George B. Alexander, New Or leans, La. The letter contained a check for $3.50. The check had not been endorsed. Across the face of the envelope had been written Opened by mistake"
 This letter was the cause of Alexan- der's arrest The Montgomery police communicated with the authorities in New Orleans from whom they learned that Ale8an0eT was III NeW OTledHS Monday. He asked at the postoffice there for his mail, and the letter ad- dressed to Rev. George B. Alexander was handed to him When he was ar rested Friday, neither the letter nor the check had been returned to Rev. George B. Alexander in New Orleans.
 All this Alexander admits. He ad- mits, too, that he was broke and down on his luck, and that he beat his way from New Orleans to Montgomery on freight trains. but he strenuously de- nies that he did, or attempted to do, any wrong. Upon the order of Commissioner Et- more, Alexander was remanded to the county jail. He will be arraigned be- fore the Commissioner today charged with violating Section 546s of the Re- vised Statutes.
 Alexander is a young man of appa- rently 21 years of age. He Is a painter by trade. and is said to have been Tor several years the office boy of F. C. Bowman, the well-known attorney of Birmin gham. He expects assistance from Birmingham friends and relatives

De May Had
 Little Faith.
Was Quickly COnverted-RexnII Worth
 its Weight In Gold.


 Thousands of men and women are dragging their way through a life of misery merely because they are too skeptical to benefit by the truth" says MT. F.. c. Fowler.
 We don't ask you to take our word as to the rare perfection of Rexall Dys- pepsia Tablets. We ask you 10 take the word of your neighbors. Read what MT De May says of them:
 I find Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets O. K. In fact 1 consider them worth their weight in gold. I suffered from indigestion for many years and thought I had exhausted every means of a cure. The best physicians failed to give me relief and the many advertised reme- dies were bitter disappointments. When I commenced using Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets I had little faith in them. But I was agreeably disappointed. They immediately benefited me and in a short time I was cured. I can state in the most emphatic manner that RexalI is all right"-B E. De May.
 What these tablets did for Mir. De May they will do for you. Try them and see.
 Our proposition Is not to merely sell you dyspepsia tablets. but to sell you a cure for your dyspepsia and in- digestion.
 sTf Rexau Dyspepsia Tablets do not effect this cure. we give you back your money. That shows how much conf- dence we have fin this new remedy"
 E. G. Fowler applies this guarantee to the 25 cent package of RexalI 'Dys- pepsia Tablets which certainly shows his confidence in its bringing immedi- ate results.

SPRING SUNDAY DREW
 THOUSANDS TO PARKS
Street Railways Were Taxed to Haul Mont gomery People Into the Country.
 Parks Not Formally Opened,

opening of the park will be arranged and announced later.
 The innate love of man for nature whether he be city man O. a coun- try man found expression yesterday. not only in visits to Electric Park and Pickett Springs but in pilgrimages to the beautiful breathing ground of the city. Oak Park and to the silent city of the dead known as Cakwood. In these two places also the crowd gath cred yesterday in the beautiful sun shine of Southern Spring.
 The splendid roads that lead from the city to every section of Montgom- cry County were filled with city bug gies and city carriages. And they came In late in the afternoon bearing light burdens of dogwoods and wood violets.
 It is beautiful country about Montgomery and the manifest love of the citys people for nature and for the country show that they are both worthy and appreciative of the beau ties which are about them.

Fable of the Hen.
Boston Post.

Boston Post.
 Once upon a time (very recently hen went upon strike and refused to lay. Other hens followed her example. and the scarcity of hen fruit which resulted caused eggs to retail for some- thing like 90 cents per dozen. In oth- CT words. strictly fresh eggs laid by scab hens were worth about five cents each in tho she'll Even coldstorage eggs which were deadly explosive and had to be handled with care brought 30 cents.
 The people got together and remom- strated with the hens. but 1t did no good. Finally an arbitration committee waited on tho hens and tried to per- suade them to go back to work. The arbitration committee pointed out that only the rich could afford to eat eggs. but the hens refused to return to work. The arbitration committee then told the hens that if they persisted in the

strike they would bring race suicide on themselves.
 Then a wise old hen arose and spoke as follows:
 'In the spring when us hens wish to sit the people give us porcelain door knobs to sit on. If porcelain door knobs are as good as eggs to sit on, they ought to be as good to eat as eggs Tell the people to eat porcelain door knobs" The arbitration committee could not answer this argument and departed in tears
