Biq Raid Is Made.

Montgomery. April .-(Speeial.)-Dep- uty Collector Knox Booth, with Deputy Marshals Gibson and Cox returned last night from Randolph county, where they made the largest raid in recent years. They captured six complete distilleries, all copper. from 50 to 125 gallons capacity, and destroyed over 12,000 gallons of beer with a large quantity of whisky and singleings. Four of these distilleries were captured within a radius of four miles of each other. N. k. Pearson and Lou Tay- Tor were arrested and taken to Opelika, where they were placed under bond to await the action of the United States grand jury Deputy Collector Booth says the large corn crop of last year accounts for the moonshiners doing such a bus mess.

NEW MANAGER FOR
 CLEARING HOUSE
MISS INA SHEPARD, CONFIDENT. IAL CLERK FOR CALDWELL & WARD, WILL GET AN IMPORT ANT POSITION.

It leaked out yesterday that upon the recommendation of almost all the bank CTS of Birmingham, Miss Ina Shepard, who has charge of the stenographic work in the banking firm of Caldwell & Ward, will be elected manager of the Birmingham clearing house when MT. Ward, the mayor-elect, retires from that position to become the chief magistrate of the city, May 3.
 This election of Miss Shepard coming, as it will, without her solicitation, will be unique in the history of banking in the United States. For the first time a woman will be entrusted with the dis charge of the responsible duties associat- ed with the management of a clearing house.
 It developed yesterday that though MT. Ward has been the nominal manager of the clearing house the last few years, yet almost all the work connected with the office has been done by Miss Shep- ard The manner in which these duties have been performed by Miss Shepard entities her, the bankers believe, to prompt and adequate recognition
 In commenting yesterday on the sub ject w. P. G. Harding. the president of the First National bank, said:
 'T am informed that there is practically a unanimous demand among the Birming- ham bankers that Miss Shepard be elected manager of the clearing house. In recent years, it has been given to her, in her, in her capacity as confidential clerk in the office of one of the local banking firms, to become thoroughly familiar with all the duties of the office and it is the concur rent judgment of every one who has had to do with the clearing house that the work has been done most acceptably.
 "The duties are purely administrative, and the feeling in banking circles is strong that there is none who can do the work more satisfactorily than can Miss Shep- ard I quite agree with opinions express ed to me that the clearing house Is to be congratulated that 1t can obtain the services of so efficient a manager To elect Miss Shepard to this position Is to recognize merit of high order. It fur nishes also convincing proof that women of capacity, tact and fidelity to duty may rise to important positions in the finan- cial field. In saying this, I feel that am merely expressing what is felt by every one who knows of Miss Shepard and her work"

ion from the evidence that the said Juror' South, did not seek to engage in conVer- sation with the defendant, Fallkner, ana 1t being shown that he is not otherwise guilty of fault, the court finds that ne disobeyed the order of the court in fall ing to report the matter to the court and it is thereupon considered and ao- judged by the court that said south IS guilty of contempt of court in falhns to obey it's orders, and in failing to report the approach made to him by said fslk- ner, and that for said contempt ne pe fined $10
 ''It Is further considered by the court that E. T. Fallkner well knowing that said Juror South was the only member of the jury who believed him to be lhno- cent, and that the jury, when he ap- preached said South, was about 10 agalh engage in It's deliberations, did approach said South in the United States court building with the intent and purpose nm properly to approach and to influence salo Juror as to his verdict, and thereby com mitted contempt of court. It Is, there- fore. considered and adjudged that as punishment for said contempt he be con fined in the jail of Jefferson county, Ala bama for a term of four months. the term of imprisonment being made lighter than It otherwise would be, owing to the fact that the cases against the said de- fenQdnt Sllll remain 10 De ITleu' anu Nile~e when arraigned for the contempt the de- fendant made no effort to deny the charge. and exonerated the juror South from any willing participation in the con versation. The marshal will execute this Judgment at once. This the 22nd of April 1905."
 Jury Could Not Agree.
 The following is decree of Judge Jones which caused an order of the Falkner trial on the original charge to be result in a mistrial:
 "In this case, in. which indictments Nos. -, were consolidated and tried as one case, the jury twice reported to the court during the forty-eight hours in which they have been engaged in their deliberations thereon, that it was impos- sible for them to agree upon a verdict, and being questioned in open court in the presence of the defendant. and each of said jurors expressed the opinion that it would be impossible for them to agree upon a verdict. The colfrt after hearing them and considering the circumstances of the case. finds as q fact that there Is no probability of the jury, even though its deliberations were continued ndef1- nitely, reaching a verdict in this case. It is thereupon considered and adjudged by | the court that a mistral be entered in his cause, and that the jury he discharged from the further consideration thereof. and said cause stands continued until the next term of the court.

Emiu..atIon from ireland.

Strenuous efforts are being made to
check emigration from Irelad, where
the drain on the country's population
is of the most alarming nature. The
registrar general of Ireland has pre-
sented the statistics for 1904, which
show a decrease of 3,244 emigrants in
comparison with 1903. At the same
time the figures are ominous, for last
year 37,415 emigrants, or S.5 per 1000
of the estimated population, left Irish
ports and nearly "a per cent of these
were between the ages of Is and 80
years, with more than 40 per cent be-
tween 20 and %. These figures indi-
cate that it is the flower of Irish man
hood and womanhood that Ireland is
losing in her emigration. 1t is signif
icant also that the number of immi-
grants to the United States fell Off
considerably, while the immigration
TO Canada shows considerable in
crease.

And here again we are reminded of
those old Druids for to them this was
the symbal of every virtue, and in the
winter, when the moon was young,
these strange woodland worshippers
went out into the forest and sought
the oaks to gather the parasite mistle-
toe. If they found it they hailed it as
a proof that their Gods were pleased
with their deeds during the past year;
and even kissing under the mistietoe
is an old heather custom, a survival
of the days of the Roman Saturnalia
when riot and license ran loose.
That the mistletoe still has it's charm
can be seen here by the great demand
for it as at this time of the year, all
over the city you will meet, the day
before Christmas, women-old and
young-with their dear bought bit of
mistletoe in their hands, wreaths
hanging from their arms and garlands
of green's twined around their arms,
on their way home from market.
On Thursday you see wreathes in the
windows of nearly every house, and
you know that the garlands are hang
ing over the pictures, and that the
mistletoe is hanging in some spot that
best suits the maiden Of the house. At
night you catch a glimpse of the can
dies on the Christmas tree, and hear
the mirth of the little ones, as they
dance around the tree in their delight,
and you realize that this yule-tide
market has taken a great and leading
part in the Christmas celebration in
the Capital of the Nation.
