 VIRGINIA MINE DISASTER

ministratrix. against the company. suing for damages for the death of her intes- tate. who was killed in the explosion The defense, answering to the call of the docket, announced in court that a number of It's witnesses were absent and the case was passed to allow the de- fendant's attorneys to make a showing in court as to the whereabouts of those witnesses. If this is made today 1t Is probable the trial of the case will be taken up and completed.
 Another case arising from the explosion is on the docket of the circuit court for today. This is the case of W. K Terry as administrator. acting in behalf of the heirs of another miner who lost his life in the accident.
 There was much interest in the court house yesterday over the matter and there were many persons at the circuit court room to hear the testimony in the Nelson case These were disappointed, however. but will doubtless be back in the court again today in another effort to once more learn the gruesome details or the tragedy.

SCENERY ARRIVES
 FOR PRODUCTION
FIRST CARLOAD OF COSTUMES AND EFFECTS FOR PROFESSOR NAPOLEON" ARRIVED SUNDAY. SoME IDEA OF SCENES.

The first car containing the costumes, scenery and electrical effects for the big musical extravaganza, Professor Ma poleon,' which will be produced at the Jefferson theatre next week by 72O Blr- mingham people, arrived Sunday.
 Yesterday the transfer company was busily engaged hauling 1t to the theatre and several storage rooms, where 1t will await the production. There were over 100 trunks, each containing costumes These costumes will be issued during the week to the army of participants. Some of these were taken to the Pollock-Steph- ems institute, where rehearsals are being conducted
 The scenery and electrical effects were taken to the Jefferson theatre. In one act, which represents the interior of Sagehurst college, heavy balconies and stair-ways run the entire length of the stage. In another scene, which repre- sents the college campus by moon light, terrace after terrace leads down from the college to the chapel on the stage. These balconies must necessarily be very very strong. as they are occupied by hundreds of people,
 F It was at first intended to place these balconies in the rehearsal room, so that the participants could be accustomed to rehearsing with them, but 1t was found that they were much too large and heavy to be taken up the stairs, so they will not be used until next Monday, when a big rehearsal will be conducted at the Jeff ferson.
 The electrical effects are said to be elaborate and local electricians will as- sist the regular electrician in putting them in place.
 Professor Napoleon is a spectacular musical production, dealing with college life and it's environments.
 It will be produced for the benefit of the Hillman hospital, under the auspices of the lady board of managers.

Judge Weakley's Paper.s

Samuel D. Weakley then read a paper which he had prepared on the life and legal acts of Justice Mcclellan, as fol- lows:
 The record of Chief Justice Mcclellan was a series of promotions, following each other in rapid succession. Having com pleted his literary education, and taken law course at the noted Lebanon school, he began at Athens in the coun- try of his birth. the practice of his chosen profession. He became register in chancery. a state senator from the dis trict composed of Lauderdale and Lime stone counties, attorney general of the state. an associate justice and then in 1898. chief justice of the supreme court of Alabama While he increased in repu- tation with each new trust, it was during his service In our highest court that he reached the maturity of his fame. By his learning. his gift for clear, accurate and vigorous writing, his powers of ar gumentation and analysis. his stern integ- rity, his high conception of the dignity of his position, he erected to himself an imperishable monument and rendered priceless service to the state of his birth.
 As a minister of justice he had the confidence of all the people. and in his death all the people mo1rn. Although as a resident of an adjoining country, had heard as long ago as twenty-five years of the strong legal firm of which he was a member, yet having myself resided without the state from 1880 to 1887. I did not personally know Judge
 Mcclellan until December 1888, when I first attended upon session or the su- preme court. The court was then com posed of Chief Justice Stone and Asso- ciate Justices Somerville and Clopton.

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of few years
ago, about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails, or
scarcely exists. 1t is a well estab-
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum, when exposed to heat, is
not entirely vaporized as is the case
with Alum. but leaves residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary, is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process of baking, leaving no atom of
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
homer. Baking Powder made of pure
Alum is as chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar These
words mean nothing more nor less
than pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that enc baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream of
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping it into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
enough for any one; Alum baking
powder is better, and very much
cheaper.

SOME NEEDED LESSONS.
All the Members Of the Family Should
Cooperate About Keeping the
Back Yard Neat.

Teach the little ones (and admon-
ish the older ones) that the screen
doors and window screens are not
made to kick, or shove against, or to
punch things through. How often
we see the wire either bullying out
or pushed into holes where the feet
or hands press against 1t in opening
or shutting the doors, or the window
screens rendered useless because the
baby and his two or three year-old
elder are allowed to press sor lean
against it, or to stick things through
it. Each one should be taught how
to handle such things, and not al
lowed to touch the wire, under any
circumstances. A sc1een door patched
with bit of cloth is unsightly enough
but it is better than the hole it COW
ers, as it excludes the intruding in
sects. Old pieces of the wire, saved
from former covering, are much bet
ter to use as a patch.
Teach the children and their eld-
ers (and in some cases, yourselO not
to throw Feelings, parings, paper,
bits OF cloth, etc., about the back
door. There should be a box or an
old pail close at hand, and into this
one can put all refuse, emptying it
at least once day, either to burn,
bury, or put on the far-removed ma
nure pile. If the whole family is
careful to keep things picked up and
put in place, the yard about the
kitchen door may be as lovely as that
in front of the house This is the
part of the premises mole often seen
by the housewife than any other, and
1t should have bright things in it.
But the housewife cannot have this
beauty without cooperation of the
rest of the family, and she will often
be blamed for dirty, disorderly back
yard when she has no sort of control
over 1t. This is where cooperation
should be strongly in evidence. I am
sorry to say that the most frequent
offender against the rules of order as
they affect the back yard is the father
of the family, himself-The Com
moner.

FLOWERS FOR A WEDDING.
Suggestions for Decoration for a Home
Wedding by Use of Bay Win
dow as Background.

Almost any flowers which an old
fashioned garden affords are lovely
for summer wedding. A bay win
dow is often used as the place for
the bridal party to stand, and this
lends itself particularly well to deco
ration, says the Housekeeper
The curtains can be drawn together
and edged with delicate vines. Be-
tween each window section, a tall
evergreen tree planted in large pot,
painted white, can help to make a
most graceful background. A low
table covered with a white cloth can
be set at the back of the bay win
dow. Upon this may be placed a vase
OF blossoms of any desired hue, and
two tall brass candlesticks holding
lighted tapers.
small white rug upon the floor
In front of the table, marks the spot
where the clergyman is to stand.
Curving outward from the front of
the bay window, small evergreen
trees, also in white pots, can make a
green chancel boundary; leaving an
opening at the center where the
bride and groom will xtand.
Another pretty arrangement is to
nave screens placed at the back of
the bay window. covered with sprays
OF graceful bloom. The ceiling of
the bay window can be covered with
wire netting and massed with laurel
leaves or other dark green; and hang
Ing from this can be numerous
lengths of fine wire or string wound
with vines, and each holding from it's
tip end spray of blossoms-eit
roses, snowballs, peonies or lilies
could be used, and the effect is lovely.
White ribbons can form an aisle at
the time OF the bridal procession. II
wished, these ribbons can be held by
four little girls dressed in white and
crowned with flowers.

Deadly New Rifle.

Bullets from the new 30-callber
rifles of the United States army whirl
with great rapidity. The rifing gives
one revolution of the bullet about it's
axis in ten inches. At the muzzle the
velocity of the bullet is 1890 feet
second. which means 2,760 turns a
second, assuming that the bullet does
not strip in the rifling. The circum-
ference of the bullet is .942 of an
inch, which gives a peripheral velocity
of $500 inches each second, or $4,000
feet a minute.
