Easter Sunday in St. Louis.

Last Sunday the clouds hung
low, portending rain; it was a
dismal gloomy Easterday, and
we had thought not to be embar-
rassed by the elaborate costumes
to be worn by the pretty girls
and gallant boys. that we would
HE ourselves to St. Louis. The
trip was uneventful and we ar
rived in the big city on schedu 9
time. Clarence l.. Parker met
us and in less than no time, we
were at the home of James W.
Bolden where a hearty breakfast
was enjoyed. Next we went to
visit our mother who resides at
281O Sheridan. We found her in
excellent health and elated to see
us. We next boarded a car and
went to 410O Fairfax Ave,
where we had dinner at the home
of Mrs. Mary Parker Wilson.
At st. Paul church elaborate
floral decorations emitted fra
GRANGE that impregnated the en-
tire auditorium and this in con-
nection with many song birds was
an imposing Spectacle that will
ever linger in the memory OF all
who attended. 1t was Keats who
said that IA thing of beauty is q
ioy forever" The music was
inspiring and was rendered in
that style that SO characterizes
the race.
At the First Baptist church
the pastor baptized the recent
additions to the church. These
services were solemn and impress
sive.
Extensive preparations had
been made at Central Baptist
church and the services were
appropriate.
One Of the most spectacular
parades we have ever witnessed,
was that of the Knights Templar
who turned out to have their an
nual sermon preached. They
presented an imposing appear
ance as they marched thru the
streets headed by band. There
were 800 in line, marching tWen-
ty deep under the command of an
excellent tactician.
After aimlessly wandering
about the city for some time in
company with our friends, Jim
and Clarence, we wended our
way to the palatial home of Mrs.
Della Segar, 1884 Lawton Ave
where we remained until train
time. Mrs. Segar has an inter-
esting daughter who is one of
those demure young ladies that
it is always pleasure to meet.
Our visit was enhanced not a lit
tie by the genuine hospitality of
Mrs. and Miss Segar.
Withal, we speut very pleas

died, and 1t is alleged that Bennett tel egraphed J. r. Webb to come to Br- mingham. signing Rays name to the telegram. Webb came down, but did not meet Bennett. It is asserted by the po- lice that the presence for two or three days of MT. Webb in Birmingham, made 1t somewhat easier for the checks to be passed.
 At the freight depot at Cedar Bluff, Ala. there are two pianos and lot of musical instruments of other kinds. which were purchased from the local dealers by means of the checks. It is said several cases of whisky are also at the depot. These goods will be returned to the shippers the proper steps having already been taken to that end.
 Previous Arrest.
 One peculiar feature of the entire af- fair, and which is causing the police to wonder bit, is that Bennett was ar rested on d charge of forgery the after noon of January 3, was brought before Judge Feagin the next morning, and was dismissed. At that time the search for him was being made all over the city. The union station and other points of egress were being watched When ar rested on the former occasion the priso- ner gave the name of John Weber, and when arrested yesterday evening he gave the same name, John Weber.

 In the rear room sat the mother, her three ehildren-the eldest of whom was 12 and the youngest years of age-eof- fined nearby and ready for the funeral. Her grief was at once inexpressibe and indescrible Even to attempt to draw the veil from the sacredly saddening scene would be little less than proclamation. It is we'll to know, however, that the moth er-heart burst forth in agonizing grief, and that every one there, moved by the one touch of nature that makes the whole world kin, felt for Mrs. Bragan the ten derest sympathy.
 The bodies of the three children-John, Earle and Annie Lou-were borne rever- ently in flower-covered caskets out of the McCabe home at i o'clock, and the fun eral procession moved out toward East Lake. where the bodies of the two broth CTS and their little sister were laid at rest

CAPTAIN 4oBsoNs CANDIDACY.
Asprant for Congress Writes Letter
 to Chairman Mallory.

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson candidate for Congress from the Sixth district, has written the following letter to II. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the state democratic executive committee in which he asks for certain rulings, by which he hopes, he says. to get square deai' in the coming primary:
 "Greensboro January Hon H. s. D. Mallory, Chairman Demo-
 cratic State Executive Committee, Sel-
 ma. Ala.
 "sir-Referring to the coming meeting of the democratic state executive commit- tee
 First. beg you lay before the commit tee the following recommendation and re- quest, viz. that all the young men of democratic faith who would become of age before the general election in Novem- ber be allowed to vote in the coming primary, no matter when the primary is called, and no matter whether they are of age at the time of primary or not A democrat qualified to vote for candidate at election should be allowed to vote for the choice of candidate at the primary.
 Second As a candidate for the demo- cratic nomination for representative to Congress from the Sixth congressional district, I respectfully request the good offices of the state executive committee to insure to me a square deal at the cominl primary. While 1 do not question the rig of every democrat to vote and work as he pleases. yet 1 am warranted in requesting that the party organization in the Sixth district be prevented from taking up the cause of any special can didate Since there is no danger from any other party, the main purpose of the party organization must be to insure the purity and justice of the methods of the party itself, and to guarantee to every candidate fair play and just treatment. | would further request that the state executive committee specify distinctly the qualifications of participants in the primary and require the district and county committees to act accordingly, and not permit arbitrary pledges, or other methods of intimidation to be resorted to in the interest of any candidate. In fur therance of these purposes, l respectfully recommend that the state executive com mittee make ruling that would grant to each candidate a fair representation in the ! apportionment of managers.
 Third, It must be clear to every good citizen. and every good democrat, that the propositions requested In this open letter. would not only secure square deal for all candidates, but would further the ends of honesty in politics to the good of our people and good of our state, and the advancement of the democratic principle of the rule of the majority. Very respectfully,

Barlow's Minstrels gave a matinee at the Jefferson Theatre yesterday after noon and a performance last night. The first part was rather dreary. poorly stag ed and painfully meagre as to accessories, but one or two good Coon songs were sung and the jokes were good.
 The best feature of the olio was musical absurdlty by Frank H. Turny that was vastly entertaining and won prolonged applause. Lively. contortion- ist, gave q clever exhibition and there were one or two other good features. Most of the jokes seemed new and brought laughter.

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

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature. but lew realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more won 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, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartie.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect fin the stomach and bowels; It disinfects the mouth ana 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 Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finesl powdered Willow charcoal. and other ssrmless antseptics in tablet form O. rather in the form of large, pleasant tastlng lozenges ths charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The 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.
 Buffalo physician in speaking of ths benefits of charcoal says: 'I 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; I 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 get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz- enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tablets"
