THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
eMm

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature. but few realize
it's value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; 1t is not drug
at all, but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present In the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels: It
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money, Is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tastiag lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
Tho daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of 1t Is. that no possible harm can
result from their continued use. but on
the contrary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: II advise Stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bowels
and to clear the complexion, and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; also be-
lieve the liver is greatly benefited by
the daily use of them they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores.
and although in some sense a patent
preparation. yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Log
enges than in any of the ordinary char
coal tablets

RECORD OF COURTS

A new suit filed in the circuit court
yesterday seeks to have the constitution
atty of the act creating the inferior
court of Ensley passed upon by the cir
cult court and If necessary by the state
supreme court, and is a direct result OF
the recent decision wherein the inferior
court of Precincts q and 81 in Birming-
ham was declared a legal and eonstitu-
tional body
The style Of the suit Is the State OF
Alabama ex rel Robert Frederick and
Robert Frederick plaintiffs, vs.. James
Brodie, and it is quo warranto proceed
ings strictly, inasmuch as the plaintiffs
are seeking to determine by what right
the defendant is serving and holding Of
flee as justice of the peace in Precinct
As, which embraces Ensley.
The petition relates the history of the
inferior court of Ensley, which was es-
tablished by an act passed by the last
legislature, and which continued to hold
for some time, when it was terminated
and James Brodie was appointed justice
of the peace to hold office in it's stead.
1t is alleged that the inferior court of
Ensley is a legal and constitutional body,
and that James Brodie is acting without
warrant or right and is usurping the Of
fees of the same court, wherefore he is
called upon to show by what right he is
holding the office of justice of the peace
of Precinct 45.
The entire day was taken up in the
circuit court yesterday in the preliminar-
les of the trial of the case of Rachel
Nelson, administrators, VS.. the Alabama
Steel and Wire company. This is the first
of the damage suits arising out of the
Virginia mines disaster that has gone to
trial, and attorneys for both parties are
making every effort to have every slight
technicality strictly adhered to, inasmuch
as it is commonly believed there is an
opportunity for the state supreme court
to pass upon the matter.
The case of Melvin M. Tally VS.. the
Pioneer Mining and Manufacturing COM
pany was closed in the city court yester-
day when the jury brought in verdict
for the plaintiff for $500
The case of James Fl. Phelps vs.. f. W.
Bromberg in which damages are claimed
because OF alleged false and malicious
arrest, was then taken up by Judge Fer
guson, and trial proceeded. Detectives
Bodeker and Hamilton are principal wit
nesses in the case.
The following cases are on the docket
of the circuit court for today, but will
doubtless be passed owing to the trial OF
the case of Nelson VS.. the Alabama Steel
and Wire company:
Mike Andreko VS.. the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company; James Mel
son, administrator, vs. the Alabama Steel
and Wire company; st. Louis Coffin COM

MAY DBPOSE MURPHY
SERIOUS REVOLT AFooT INSIDE
TAMMANY HALL.

-Tammany is on the verge of nice inter-
necine row. which has for its object the de-
posing OF Charles Murphy as leader. This
move could not well be made before the
election, but now that that Is out OF the
way there 10 serious talk OF . revolt
1t Is understood that one OF the drst
moves the opponents Of Mr.. Murphy VIII
make will be to test what strength he has
In the present executive committee of the
Tammany organization.
1t Is known that many Of the district
leaders have hung to him on the plea OF
regularity. and have stated that IL he failed
to make good at the election they would
.fersake him. Despite the large vote given
in this city to the democratic ticket gener-
ally. Hearst was knitted mercilessly and
privately, and as a result several district
leaders who have remained loyal to Mr..
Murphy since the Buffalo convention be-
cause of the regularity fetch think that
they are no longer bound to him and are
preparing to switch over to Mayor McClel-
Ian; especially those of them who happen
Q" hold Jobs In the administration.
One of these is Borough President
Ahearn. Mr.. Ahearn is an elective officer
and cannot be removed by the mayor, but
t. was learned yesterday that he has de-
esded to support the movement started by
Conference With jerome.
From gossip heard yesterday among the
local democrats who seek to eliminate Muir
ply the disposition is to make Maurice
Featherson the new leader. 1t was said
that Mr.. Featherson would be acceptable to
Mayor Mcclellan for the reason that the
mayor thinks that in temperament, quail
fications and ability for organization no one
better could be selected.
District Attorney Jerome had a long talk
yesterday afternoon with Little Tim Sulli-
van, Larry Mulligan, who Is a power in
the Sullivan clan, and Senator James J.
Frawley, Tammany leader. The visitors
were so anxious to see Mr.. Jerome that
they called twice. The first time he wasn't
in. Mr.. Jerome wouldn't say what the con-
ference was about His visitors were equal
ly uncommunicative, except that Senator
Frawley remarked that Mr.. Jerome was
good democratic. presidential timber.
