ASK SPECIAL LEVY.
SUIT TO INCREASE THE TAXES OF
 TUsCUMBIA PAYERS.
Holders of Bonds for the DeshIer Fe- male Institute Building Seek to Compel Ratsinx of Funds
 for Payment.

| Tuscumbia. Jan. 26.-tSpeciaL )--The city of Tuscumbia Is the defendant in an interesting suit, tried before Judge Nathan, who has reserved his opinion. some thirty years ago the city issued bonds to secure payment on debt
 created for the rebuilding of the Desh- | Ter Female Institute of Tuscumbia,
 which was destroyed by cyclone which visited this section in Novern-
 Der. 1874. The bonds have never been paid, and the holders of the bonds sew eral weeks ago filed an application in the Circuit Court of this county for mandamus to force the city to levy a special tax for the payment of the judgment secured a number of years ago against the city.
 The interest accumulated on the bonds represents considerable amount, and should the plaintiffs win the case 1t will be necessary to levy a special property tax against the taxpayers of the city for the payment of the judg- ment The case is one of peculiar in- terest and importance to the citizens of
 Tuscumbia. and the decision of the judge is awaited with anxiety.
 The bill introduced by Congressman Richardson of this district for the re- lief of certain churches, lodges and schools, for use, occupation and dam age to the building and grounds by the United States military authorities dur ing the civil war, in the Congressman's district, includes an appropriation of $5,060 for the Masonic lodge of this city; and $108,000 for LaGrange Col lege, this county. The Masonic build, ing was occupied and damaged by Fed eral troops during the civil war, while the college at LaGrange was burned, and has never been rebuilt. It is the general opinion that tho bill will be favorably reported and finally passed.
 The citizens of Tuscumbias Sheffield and Florence have organized a congre- gation to be known as the B'nai Israel of the Tri-Cfties, with the following off, ficers: Joe P. May. Florence, Presi- dent; Max R. Block, Shefield, Vice President; A. ]. Feidman. Sheffield, Sec- retary; M. Coplan, Florence, Treasurer; Aaron Bresler, Tuscumbia, Jacob Spell man, Sheffield, and A.

 The gathering of the twenty-five Daughters at the, Montgomery depot for the early morning train, testified to their much appreciated opportunity of going to the Soldiers Home. This gathering was much enlivened by the presence of Rev. Stewart Mcqueen.
 The conyeyances were awaiting the Daughters at the station at Mountain Creek, and, as. the enthusiastic ladies approached the main sentFance to the Soldiefs' Home, thenVoices were hushed and the eyes saddened at the reminder of the flag at half mast, in token. of the hero of the South having fought his last battle of life during the night-Gen. Joseph Wheeler.
 The spacious grounds, the ten beau tiful home-like cottages, the hospital and handsome main building, the beau tiful flower gardens surrounding the homes, the smiling pleasant faces of the eighty veterans--all- these won ders testify to the beautiful work &C., complished by. Colonel Falkner.
 An appetizing breakfast awaited the Daughters. given by the hostess, after which followed business session. dur ing which Colonel Falkner gave a beautiful heart-to-heaFt talk, , each word falling as pearls, from honored lips. A talk too sacred to transmit, but to be kept forever green in respon- sive hearts. After a visit to all the cot tages and another business session. the beautiful hostess again made glad the hearts of the Daughters by inviting them out to a sumptuous repast.
 Nothing was left undone to make this the most memorable ,and most sacred day of the gathering of the Daughters.

APPROVES AN ORDINANCE.
Mayor Sanctions Measure COncernin
 Insurance Policies.


 Mayor W. M Teague yesterday ap- proved the ordinance Introduced by Alderman Nathan Lobman and passed by the Council at its last meeting pro- viding for the future handling of the city's fire insurance. All policies now held on city property will be cancelled when they expire and all of the proprty will be insured un- der five year policy. The insurance companies make lower rates for five year policies than they do for three year policies and it is believed that the new system of insuring the city prop erty will save several thousand dollars to the city.
 The late Mayor Thomas H. Carr ask ed the Council to arrange the insurance business of the city in this manner but the aldermen of the lgst Council failed to regard the wishes of the Mayor.
 The City of Montgomery pays an nually about $5,50O in insurance pre- miums and the action of the Council will be of great benefit to the City Treasury.

THE BAKERS DOZEN.
Sin,y of It's Origin Acc0fdine 70 the
Dutch LEGEND.

Some persons, including few ency-
the bakers dozen originated when
heavy fines were considered necessary
to counterbalance light weights and tho
bakers, In order to insure full weight,
took the prccaution to add an addi-
tional unit Some have called 1t the
DEVILS dozen, because thirteen was the
number of witches who used to rido
their broomsticks to the BLACK mass"
vi Satan. The bakers great book In
the .Astor library has another story Of
it's origin:
Jam Petersen of Amsterdam was u
good churchman. but nevertheless he
was afraid of being bewitchcd. On the
last night OF 1864 he sat In his bake
shop trying to keep out the evil spirits
by printing himself With n glass Of
good spirits. Sales had been brisk.
There We're no customers In the shop
for the moment. and he sat back, medi-
tating on the gains he would make Oh
the morrow. when the fresh New
Years cakes We're put on sale. He WAS
startled by II sudden rap. An ugly wo.
maa pushed the door open.
Give mo IL dozen New Years cook
les" She cried In IL shrlll voice.
The shr.llncss Of her voice did not
mean anything to his slow Dutch mind.

TO the devil and get it,
The hug LETT the shop, but from that
night Jan had trouble. The shop seem
cd to be bcwitched His cakes were
stolen Either his bread was so light
that 1t scared up the chimney or SO
heavy TINT the supports of the oven
gave way beneath the burden. His
wife became deaf; his children went
wild. His trade took wings and set
tied in the shops of his rivals. Three
times the old woman returned, and
each time was directed to the DEVILS
sanctum. At last, In despair, the baker
called upon st. Nicholas to assist him.
The venerable patron OF Dutch feasts
delivered lecture on charity. telling
the trembling man to be more gcner-
Gus In the future. Then he vanished,
and In his place stood the hag, who re-
peatei her demand for one more cake.
Jam ucceded, whereupon she exclaim-
ed: 1.-The spell is broken. From this
time one dozen Is thirteen" Taking
of St Nicholas. she made the subdued
Dutchman lay his hnnd upon 1t and
swear to give more liberal measure in
the future Since that time thirteen

Comets, Tails.

ClearneSs of the atmosphere has
much to do with the apparent length OF
comets tails. In clear tropical skies
or In the rnretied atmosphere Of noun
tainous countries the tnlls Of suc!
bodies can be traced much farther
than they cum by European observers
or those Of temperate America. Tho
apparent length of such appendnges by
no means Indicates anything Of their
real length. and 1t often happens that
those which appear the longest arc
really the shortest. This is due to the
different distances which comets hold
with respect to the earth. While tho
great comet of 1861 had tail which
stretched away more than 100000
miles, its apparent length was five
times that distance. The great Donati
comet, with IL tail which appeared only
half MS long us that OF 1861, was real.
ly 5O,O0O,O0O miles In length. The
comet of 1851 was only about 13,OOO,-
900 miles from us, while Donuti's was
ut least four times us remote. Il circum.
stance that would account for Its ap-
parent lack of tail. The great comet Of
the year 1880 and thut OF 1913 each
had II tail Of enormous length The
length of the tail OF TINT of the last
mentioned date has been estimated Mt
lSD.OOO.OO0 milcsthe longest of any
comet that has yet been observed. Tho
comet of 1850 had tail 00OOO,OOO
miles In length.
