TUSCALOOSA DoCTORs.
Annual Banquet of Medical Society a
 Most Enjoyable Affair.

Tuscaloosa, Jan. )-Ar elegant affair was the annual banquet of the Tuscaloosa County Medical So- ciety, given last night in the dining hall of the Elks home building. This society has had number of delightful banquets, but the one last night was probably the most elaborate one in its history. The dining hall was beauti- fully decorated and the menu elegant in all particulars. A number of toastS were responded to by both the mem- bers of the society and guests, the speakers including some of the best known in the State. Dr. William M Faulk was toast master and was most happy in all his remarks. A feature of the banquet was the silent toast drunk to the late Dr. Joseph L. Fant, who was such a beloved physician of this city for number of years, this being suggested by Dr. Alston Fitts at the conclusion of his response to the toast, Medical Ethics. The ban quet committee who so successfully managed the enjoyable affair were Dr. G. R. Rau. Dr. W. G. Somerville, Dr. W. D. Partlaw, pr. s. F. Mayfield and Dr. W. M. Faulk.
 In shooting scrape on Davis Creek near Abernant Saturday night. Lloyd Hill was killed and John Nunnn shot through the leg The latter with his brothers, Dan and Fitch Nunn. were brought here yesterday by Deputy Smith and lodged in jail All the par ties to the affair were negroes. It seems, from the account of Nunn, that the party went to Hilrs house to get some whiskey, and while there q row occurred. The negro Hill that was killed had a bad reputation.
 For some fifteen or twenty years fIIp I.-ar rf 1f ~,1t, AEVasz Amelia Gorgas, has been making ef- forts to secure a catalogue Of the Uni- versity for the year 1S4S49. With the exception of this one year there is a complete file in the University library. After she and Dr. Wyman. who has been aiding her in her search for the missing number, had about given up hope of obtaining this catalogue, it was found in a collection of old papers here in town. Mrs. W. G. B. Pearson in cooking over some old letters and pa- pers of her father, Dr. Charles Snow. found a copy of the catalogue for this year in a well preserved condition, and she gladly presented it to Mrs. Gorgas. This completes the file from the first catalogue in 1888 to the present time. much to the qualification of tho Uni- Versity officials. It may be interesting to know that the first five issues of the catalogue, Tor the years lS33-37, in. elusive, were presented to the Univer- sity by Dr. Alva Woods. of Providence, R. l., after he had reached his ninetieth year, they being cut rom a bound volume of the catalogues in his pos session. Dr. Woods was the first pres ident of the University.
 The executive branch of the Alabama Division Y. D. C., will meet at Carne- gie Hall in Montgomery on January %. As the director of the local chapter of this organization, Mrs. R. B. Dugger, will not be able to attend this meeting. Mrs. Ellen Peter Bryce, a most loyal and enthusiastic member, will go to represent the R. F. Rodes Chapter.

THAT BONDED WAREHOUSE.
Work on it's Construction te be Resum
 ed Soon.

cd soon.
 Since one of the walls of the bonded warehouse under construction in north Montgomery collapsed on October 3, causing the death of a negro laborer, work on the building has been suspend ed.
 The contractor for the erection of the bonded warehouse began work on it last May and it was intended by the owners that it should be completed by fall to allow the storage of a large amount of cotton. It was contempla- ted to finally have thirty-six compart- ments in the warehouse, but all hopes of completion last fall were sha uttered when the accident occurred.
 During the last few days. the Bond ed Warehouse Company has let tho contract for building eight compart- ments to a fireproofing company of Ohio, an entirely separate and distinct concern from that which first had the contract. No contract has yet been let for completing the four compartments started in May, but it was said yester- day that it is very likely the new con tractors will be awarded the contract for their completion.
 The walls of the incompleted com partments are said to be in good condi- tion. By next fall, it is expected that the eight compartments will have been finished, giving total storage capacity of 12,000 bales of cotton.
 The Bonded Warehouse Company Is composed of Marks and Gayle, Sigmund Roman and F. F. Johnstone. The new contractors will begin work in a few days, and they are under bond to com plete the work by July 1st

WORK ON CAPITOL
THE COMMISSION AGREES TO Ex-
 PEND &25,0OO.
Justices of Supreme Court Decline to Recede from Position and
 Money Will Re Used to
 Repair Structure.

The Capitol Building Commission. af. ter lengthy meeting yesterday morn ing appropriated $25,000 out of the fund for Capitol improvement to make the immediately necessary repairs on the present building and grounds and committee was appointed to consider plans and specifications for an addi- tionaI building after this work has been completed.
 This step was taken only after re- port from a special committee appoint ed to confer with the Justices of the Supreme Court as the members of the high court considered that their work in connection with Capitol improve ment had been completed.
 All members were present when the Commission convened at 10 o'clock yes- terday morning fin the office of Cover nor Jelks. The sub-committees on painting, repairs and draining made formal reports and it was ordered that tho painting of the building be com pleted and that the contract on the work be closed.
 Treasurer J. Craig Smith was ap- pointed a committee of one to look into the proper setting out of the south end of the Capitol lawn in appropriate trees and shrubbery and other landscape work.
 J. M Carmichael. State Auditor from the special committee composed of him self and Attorney General Massey Will son reported that they had several pleasant conferences with the Justices of the Supreme Court in reference to the deadlock existing between the mem- bers of the commission and the court IL will be remembered that under the Capitol Improvement act of the last Legislature, the Supreme Court and the executive officers of the State govern ment were made the Capitol Commits sion. to adopt plans. After the adoption of rlans the Supreme Court ceases to DC part of the Commission and the ex- ecutive officers look to the execution of the adopted plans.
 The Supreme Court, having a major ity of the Commission, adopted the Lockwood plans, which give the Su- preme Court the benefit of the most of the appropriation. The Commission however, has thus far failed to execute the plans. Judge Carmichael reported that. although the members of the court had been cordial. they considered that under the law, their work was done except as to plans and specifications of their own part of the new building They refused to confer further.
 Treasurer J. Craig Smith moved that S25, 900 be appropriated for the present needs of the building and that the Com mission recommend to the next Legis- lature that an appropriation of $1,5O0.- 000 be made to erect new Capitol to take the place of the present structure. The motion was lost, Treasurer Smith and Attorney Wilson voting for the motion and the Governor, Secretary of State McDavid and Auditor Carmichael opposing it.
 Governor Jelks moved that 900 be appropriated for the present necessities and that a committee be appointed to investigate plans for further additions. The motion was adopted and the fol- lowing committee was appointed: The Governor, the Secretary of State and the Treasurer. The Commission then ad- journed.

Canada and the Preferential TariE. LInrfranl Gn Zattn

United States Congressmen are re- ported to be considering the establish ment of a maximum and minimum tar tries which impose high duties on United states products It is not known, should this project become a law, in which schedule Canada would be placed As, however. the minimum rates are to be those of the Dingley tariff. the matter may be of less conse- quence than on first thought 1t would seem. The Dingley duties only let into the United States from Canada what the people of that country cannot buy elsewhere. Higher duties would only slightly aggrevate the situation.

TO CUT NAVY ESTIMATES.

Appropriations Considered Above Limit
 of Prudence.
 Washington special to New York Her
 aid.
 Congress is skeptical about the merit of the estimates submitted by the Navy Department for appropriations aggrega- ting $I20.00000 900 during the next fiscal year. The naval bill vast year carried more than $100.O00.oo0. and, that was considered about the limit of prudence. The House Naval Committee is now holding hearings on the bill, having had in attendance the bureau chiefs from the department,
 On the part of certain members of the committee there exists a feeling that the navy yards are conducted on extravagant lines. that warships are given needless repairs, that they are frequently ordered to navy yards under political pressure, that some yards, mo- tably that at New York, are given much work to do and others only little.
 The fact that the estimates for navy yards as submitted to Secretary Bona parte were $2S.000000 and that he re- duced them to $9,00o.000 without pros pect of embarrassment in the service, leads members of the committee to think that the estimates are original ly prepared on a much larger scale than is necessary.

Thrasday Matinee and Night, CresfOn Clarke in

Creston Clarke's production of Beau eaIre" will surely command unusually respectful attention at the Montgomery Theatre Thursday matinee and night It is properly termed a comedy romance but is entirely unlike any other as it's tone is less violent and its humor far more spontaneous. It is, therefore, no wonder that Creston Clarke has so un- versally succeeded with 1t last season and not surprising that he Is this sea son more than duplicating last year success. This engagement can not fail to prove as gratifying to our theatre soers as 1t has to all other communl- ties where 1t has been presented.

Coming Attractions.
New National Theater.

Next week at the New National Theater
Miss Annie Russell will be seen in a role
entirely different from any that she has
thus far assumed-the role of Puck in
Wagenhals and Kemper's production of
Shakespeare's great comedy, "A Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" Nothing in all liter
ature is considered more dainty, more airy,
or more poetic than the great poets whim
steal conceit of the midsummer nights
madness that made lovers for a night the
mischievious sport of the little imp who
successfully tangled the skeins that bound
true hearts together. To add anything to
this enchanting tale seems like painting
the lily or refining pure gold. Neverthe-
less, according to reports, it has been done
successfully in this production in the elab-
crate scenery and the beautiful music. The
green forest with its trees, among which
Puck" flies, and the flowers that burst
into blossoms of light as he buries his face
in their midst; the fairies fitting in and
out of the glades, and the haunting strains
to make up a stage picture of rare charm
and infinite beauty. Miss Russell is said
