small and eaten hot with syrup.
Never pile a lot of cakes together
and cover them with deep dish or
put them in a covered vegetable dish.
Any cover must be lifted at one side
or have a round opening like regu-
lar griddle cake cover; this allows
steam to escape which otherwise
would condense on the cover, fall on
the cakes and make them heavy.

ADAMS GETS A STAY
BIRMINGHAM NEGRO WILL NOT RE
 HANGED.
Governor JeIks COmmutes Death Sen- tence of Murderer to Life Imprls-
 Onment on Very Strong Rec- OmmendatiOnH.

Governor Jelks yesterday commuted the sentence of Frank Adams. a Bir- mingham negro, sentenced to be hanged for murder on March 1s. to life im- prisonment.
 The order of commutation was is- sued on the strength of the recommen- dations of Trial Judge Dan A. Greene of Birmingham and Solicitor H. P. lief lin of the Birmingham City Court
 Adams was a convict at Flat Top and was convicted of the murder of a. fell low prisoner. He was sentenced to be hanged on December g, but the sem tence was suspended, pending an ap- peal to the Supreme Court. The high court affirmed the decision of the lower court and ordered that the negro be hanged on March 13.
 The Judge and Solicitor stated that although Adams was guilty of murder there were circumstances which les- sened the gravity of the crime, IS the negroes were deadly enemies and Adams was constantly in fear of his life being taken by the man he killed. The communication was also recommended by the Board of PardOns.

Albert Taylor Coming.

Albert TayIor, Montgomery's own nonuIar actor. will make his annual anpearance at the Bijou Theatre for three nights, commencing tomorrow night. Two special matinees will also be given. ,,.
 The annual appearance of Albert ray Tor Is always a welcome treat, for no actor has ever filled the place in the hearts of Montgomery theatre goers that Albert Taylor holds, and his re- turn each season Is looked forward to with much pleasure, as 1t Is considered one of the dramatic events Of the sea son. One of the best proofs or ms popularity is the fact that from the mo ment it was announced that Mir Taylor was to appear here there has been a steady demand for seats. This season Albert Taylor has made triumph Whlle en tour of the West. In all the large cities he has broken records for large audiences and the press has been unan- imous in it's praise of Mir. Taylor's work in the pastoral comedy Peaceful Val lev" a play that holds a warm place in the hearts of American theatre-go- CTS. For several seasons this play was the thief vehicle in which the late Sol smith Russell appeared and became fa-' mous. and since his death no actor has been able to give the role of Hosea Howe a life-like portrayal until Albert Taylor secured the play for hls own use and appeared in the part created by Mr. Russell.
 If the author of the play had been familiar with Mir. Taylor's own style of acting he could not have written the part of Hosea Howe in a better manner to fit Mir Taylor's droll comedy na- ture for the part fits him and he fits the part Many dramatic critics claim it is the most perfect interpretation of droI eccentric character eyer depleted on the stage.
 Peaceful Valley will be the bill to- morrow night. A very strong cast will appear with Mir. Taylor and the entire performance will be artistic. Clarence Oliver, favorite actor in Montgomery is still with MT. Taylor
 During the engagement a change of play will be given at each perform ance. Matinees Tuesday and Wednes- day afternoon.

NAMING A TOWN.
How Abilene Came to BE Selected by
Mrs. Hersey.
"Oh, Billy. dear!
IA welcome"

How Abilene Came to BE Selected by
Mrs. Hersey.
Abilene was named by the wife of
the founder of the town, r. f. Hersey.
With her husband she had come to
central Kansas in the spring of 1857.
They lived in log house on the west
side of Mud creek and were the first
settlers on the town site, although no
town then existed nor was there one
until 1860 Then G. III. Thompson, who
had moved to the county from Leaven-
worth, bought from the Kansas Pa
cific Railway company a tract east of
Hersey's and laid out a town.
When it came to the naming of the
future city Mr.. Thompson went to
Hersey and asked him to suggest n
name.
NO" was the reply, "let my wife
do it. She is great reader"
Mrs. Hersey was a graduate of a
seminary in the east, and her little
library, which she carried with her in
| her wanderings, was one of the ties
that bound her to the glrlhood life. She

she was asked to name the town she
turned to the New Testament for sug

Luke, first verse. she found this: "Nov

Tiberius Caesar, Pontius PLATE beini
governor of Judaea and Lysania

Call the town Abilene" said she
''It means City of the Plains.' and tha
exactly describes the location"
So Abilene it was, and in the figh

good fortune attended 1t, and the neV
town became the county capital fo
