TRIAL or J. W. HILL.
Attorney Asks that the Case Be Taken
 From Jury

From Jury.
 Philadelphia, Jan. l1.--The trial of John W. Hill, former Chief of the Fil- tration Bureau, which has been in pro- gress for nearly two weeks. was prac- tically ended today. The defense clos ed with the examination of several en- gineers from this and other cities. who gave expert testimony.
 The commonwealth offered no evil dence in rebuttal and former District Attorney Graham, principal counsel for MT. Hlll, asked that the case be taken out of the hands of the jury. He failed to make out case against the defendant.
 After District Attorney Bell and MT. Graham had argued the point, Judge Audenreid announced that he would re- serve his decision until tomorrow.
 Former Chief Hill has charged with forgery and falsifying records for the benefit of the contracting firm of D. J. McNichol & O., of which former State Insurance Commissioner Israel W. Dur ham, local Republican leader, was a member.
 vast amount of testimony was taken on both sides during the trial and yesterday Judge Audenreid in open court told District Attorney Bell that the commonwealth had not produced any evidence of forgery. Later he or dered his remarks stricken from the records. The claim of the prosecution was that Mir. Hill, by falsifying the re- cords of his bureau, had caused the city to pay to the contractors hundreds of thousands of dollars to which they were not entitled. n

 Charleston, s. C., Jan. iI.-At dinner given last night by the city of Char Ieston in honor of the new United States cruiser Charleston Rear Admiral F. W. Dickins, commanding the coast squadron of the north Atlantic fleet now on duty at this port, gave some most valuable and interesting facts showing the availability of Charleston as a base of naval operations. He has hd @ careful survey of Charleston har- bor made and said:
 The harbor is a commodious one ana the water and bar will now permit any of our battleships to enter this port. There is about thirty feet on the bar at high water. After entering the mar bor fifty battleships with twenty-slx feet draft can be anchored in Charles ton harbor at single anchor, four nun dred yards apart. with q scope or forty five fathoms of chain.

washington, Jan. 11.-(Speciai. l--C.
 l. Allison. clerk of the United states
 circuit and district courts at Birmins
 ham is here. Mir. Allison. since ms
 arrival has been exceedingly close
 mouthed, and Alabama Republicans
 are indulging in much speculation as to
 the real object of his visit Some in-
 cline to the belief that inasmucn as
 Senators Foraker and Dick of Ohio are
 raising rumpus because United states Consul Taylor at Glasgow. Scotiand was about to be turned down and DICK Austin. a constituent of Congressman Brownlow. of Tennessee. appointed as his successor. Mir. Allison is in Wash ington to take hand in this fight. Mir Allison is cousin of the late President Mckinley and is supposed to have considerable influence in certain directions. . It is said today that ray Tor will probably remain at Glasgow. | and Austin given another consulate. On the other hand, several of tho l Alabama Republicans cannot help thinking that probably the clerk of l the court while in town is getting the straight of the story concerning IT, | regularities last year in the Birming- l ham post office. which caused Post master Hughes to lose his official head, and. men who against the regulations 1 borrowed the government money are still. holding their jobs.
 The talk is that if the department holds the parties guiltless, there ought ' to be no objection to making publte 1 the report of the inspectors who inves- | tiRated the Birmingham postoffice. The hearing today before the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Com
 mittee on the Littlefield anti-pilot bill
 was lively affair. Captain oBrien of Pensacola, who is looking after the interests of tho Southern pilots from that part on down the coast. had rather an exciting experience in his argu-
 ment with the champions of the op" posing side.
 The Senate Judiciary Committee will not meet until Monday and therefore
 no action on the Parsons nomination can be expected before then.
 District Attorney Reese intends to remain here until after Monday.

"woULD DO NO HARM"
To Quit Coffee, the Doctor Said.

10 auAt NOAhoc' N"S
 An Oak Park lady writes of her cof- fee experiment.:
 T am of middle age and had been coffee drinker all my life up to rive years ago when my physical condition became so serious and medicines dld so little good that l began to suspect that coffee was doing me harm.
 T had gradually become very nerV- ous, my heart grew subject to dis dressing palpitations and my mental and physical faculties had got into dull, torpid condition. With 1t all came bodily weakness that made IL almost impossible to get around.
 My physician examined me and said my heart was affected. I asked him if coffee was injurious to me and he replied that it would do no harm to stop drinking it for awhile. And so l did quit.
 But I felt very much the need of a hot beverage. and in that way came to try Postum Food Coffee, which I had seen advertised. had it prepared strictly according to the directions and the result was delicious clear drink which I found most refreshins and satisfying, with a flavor similar to that of the finest coffee.
 "I have used it as my sole tabl' drink ever since. Soon after begar to drink it my nerves steadied dowr to normal, the heart trouble ceased tf annoy me, and my head has been clear CT. my mentality more active and CT ficient during these i've years thar ever before in my life.
 Nv son-in-law was a victim of dys pcpsia. until I induced him to stoI drinking the old kind and begin tho use of Postum Food Coffee. His al gestion rapidly improved until 1t De came perfect and. as he still uses Pos tum. it has remained so." Name glVei bv Postum Go, Battle Creek. Mich.
