Pike County, Ala. March z, 1905.
 Dear Ladies-I wrote you letter some weeks ago giving you some home hints. Perhaps you will not take amiss some more suggestions. The first thing I want to advise you women is to stay at home and take care Of your own yards and door-steps, and make the men clean up the town--it's their business. and not years. They make the laws and do the voting and electing and splitting and throwing down banana and orange peels all over the sidewalk. Who ever saw wo- man throw a fruit skin on the ground? They are above such. And besides, don't you know how often a woman gets hurt slipping up on a banana peel?
 Now, I want to tell you something else I came in to the U. D. c. enter tainment at the capitol Monday night. I always come out for anything for the old soldiers. I have not been in the capitol for twenty-five years-and I know no broom has either. We down here in the South are poor-but, l say do let us be clean, 1t don't cost much. only little energy on the part of the men-but, that seems great exertion. Well I enjoyed the entertainment, par ticularly that piece that Miss Adams told about the woman at the church meeting. how she scored the men. and they tried to silence her by quoting St. Paul, and she reminded them that he did not say a word about women's keeping silence outside of the church. I wish we had Sally Ann" to tell your men they ought to be ashamed of them selves to let the women have to organize to make them clean up the town. Why don't they discharge the man they hire for this job when he fails to attend to it? That old carpet at the capitol might be taken off the steps and hall, and some of the papers put in safer places. Now. I am going to write this letter to every paper in Alabama so that all the voters who have not yet been to the Legislature can know how the capitol of the State of Alabama is kept, It's disgrace! I'm not a "civic improvement woman" and I'm not an old maid. And I know men mighty well. If you let them alone, they would sit all day whiting sticks, and never take broom to sweep them up. Anybody can tell

GLADNEY STILL ON TRIAL.
Day Given Over by United States Court
 to Case.

to Case.
 The session of the United States Dis- trict Court was occupied yesterday in hearing evidence in the case against Jack Gladney alias s. J. Gladney. a white man of Randolph County, on trial for illicit distilling.
 Yesterday was the second day in which the Gladney case has held the attention of the court and it is more than probable that the best part of today will be spent in the same way as the jury will have to/ wrangle with the evidence after all the witnesses have finished their testimony.
 Riadonia alias Donia Collins, a wo- man of Houston County. who was in- dicted for sending obscene letters through the mail. pleaded guilty to the charge. She was fined $25.
 The cases against the whiskey gaug- CTS, indicted in connection with the Kohn Distillery of Montgomery, who are charged with making false returns to the government. will probably fol- low the Gladney case.
 Much interest is felt in the Gladney case on account of the civil suit brought by the United States to con- nscate the property belonging to Glad ney where he operated his still in con nectisn with grist mill. The prop erty is said to be worth $5.000.

 The remains were those of a man ana a woman. The head of the man is miss~ ing and the body of the woman was wrapped in a blanket.

Two other saddles were also found which had been placed or thrown over each of the bodies with a view to partial conceal- ment. From all appearances the two had been dead some time.
