 Criminal cases arising in the inferior court often prove interesting. because they are brmful of human interest. Sew eraI days ago prominent young man of Birmingham was on trial. the charge against him being for unlawfully taking mule. The prosecutor was negro woman. and after hearing all of the evil dence in the case. the Judge asked the attorneys interested if there were any arguments. A nasty consultation was held As d result the proceedings were dismissed the mule returned to the negro woman and the young man was forced to pay the costs
 The two judges have the power to per form marriage ceremonies. and 1t is quite often that they are called upon to do this. Marriages in Judge Abernethy's division especially are always humorous in the extreme.

Nearly five thousand garnishment suits are filed annually in a single court in Birmingham In fact there is but one tribunal within the corporate limits where suits of this nature can be filed and that is the inferior court of Birmingham, which recently resumed operation after sus- pension of nearly a year. The court Is divided into two divisions. the first of which is presided over by Judge l. H. Benners and the second by Judge II. B. Abernethy
 Each division will average two hundred garnishment suits d month, making a total of 4S00 for both divisions during a years time. The court has jurisdiction to try civil cases where the amount in- volved does not exceed sl00. and to try criminal cases from murder down. in precincts Nos 21 and 3l. which is Bir- mingham Judge Benners has his court room on Third avenue. west of Twentieth street, which is in beat g, while Judge Abernethy Is located further up Third avenue in beat 21
 But going back to the subject of gar nishment suits. In the number of such suits the the inferior court or blrmlnB- ham perhaps is ahead of any court in this part of the country. A garnisnment suit for an amount less than 5 nor more than s100 can be brought in the inferior court
 A garnishment proceedings cannot be brought:
 For a gambling debt.
 For liquor debt.
 For labor performed.
 And there are other things for which such proceedings cannot be entered. A majority of the garnishment proceed

 OF THE INFERIOR COURT

ings brought are on waive notes or cer- tain kinds of open accounts.
 
 Judge Abernethy has resided in Bir- mingham for years and years; he has held several public offices and Is one of the best known men in Birmingham. But how many people know how to spell his name correctly? Very few. It is Aber- nethy and not Abernathy. As In the cases of Chief of Police Wier and ex-Chief of the Fire Department and Building In- spector Mullin. his name is often mis- spelled In fact sign over his court room door reads "Il. B Abernathy." Both Judge Abernethy and Judge Ben ners held commissions as justices of the peace years and years before they were appointed as the two judges of the in- ferior court of Birmingham.
 The division of the inferior court pre- sided over by Judge Abernethy is verit- able bureau of information. The judge says that everyone seeking consolation advice or general information comes to his office.
 It is well worth ones time to spend an hour or so in Judge Abernethy's court, and study the troubled and distressed hu- manity.

With Ponce de Leon.

''Twenty-six years prior to this time I accompanied Ponce de Leon on his unsuccessful voyage in search of the fountain of youth On this trip l heard the stories of the natives told my chief tain and I believed them. In later years. broken down in health and my strength failing me, remembered these stories and longed to find and bathe in the waters of the fountain that would bring perpetual youth and strength.
 'The coveted opportunity at last pre- sented itself in the expedition of De Soto. who finally consented that l should join his party, though I was too feeble and old to be of much service.
 '.Immediately after landing in America again heard the story of the fountain of youth from an old squaw and desert ed the expedition. I suppose l was put down in the records of De Soto as captured or killed by the natives. With presents and little trinkets with which I had provided myself before leaving the Castillian shores, I secured the friend ship and protection of a powerful tribe of Indians. with whom I dwelt.

Sole Survivor of Ponce de
 Leon'S Expedition
FOUND PERPETUAL YOUTH
Gives an Interesting Account of His Four Centuries of Cosmopolitan Exlstence-F4as Grown
 Weary of Life.
BY WALTER HARPER.

Don Diego Pineda. the sole survivor of Ponce de Leon's historic expedition in search of the fountain of youth, was in the city for an hour last night
 l took dinner with him at the Hotel Hillman. Fifteen minutes later he board ed the il 80 train on the Southern rail- way for New York where he will take a last visit to his childhood home near Seville. Spain.
 Though Pineda was AIS years of age on January 23 last. he has the appear ance of young man of %. He has re tained the buoyant elasticity of youth and through more than three centuries has retained the ruddy glow of health and youthful vigor. though a little more than three centuries ago he was feeble with age and had lost much of the vi- tality of robust manhood.
 His Nativity.
 Plneda was born January B. 14sS, near Seville in Southern Spain, of poor par ents. He shipped on a Mediterranean merchantmen at the age of Is and fol- lowed the fortunes of the sea until his fifty-frst year. when he made his last voyage as sailor with Hernando de Soto in his great voyage of exploration and conquest to the shores of the new world-America. Though this was his last trip as a seafaring man. Pineda has since that time visited every country of the known world.
 Twenty-six years prior to his final voy- age with De Soto Pineda followed the fortunes of Ponce de Leon in his famous quest for the fountain of youth. He was % years of age at this time and was not so much interesed in the object of the trip as the adventure he sought.
 But in later years as the feebleness of age began to creep over him and he was bent with the weight of many hardships he remembered the stories that had been told to Leon by the natives of America of a fountain whose waters would renew in the aged the fires of perpetual youth.
 Determined to renew the search for the boon in which De Leon had failed. he shipped with De Soto and returned to America with that one purpose in view. How he succeeded in his quest and the story of his strange adventures is best told in his own language

Ten Years Without Eating.

For ten years before his death, on Thursday night at Kingston. a man named Joseph Knight had not eaten any food
 Eleven years ago. while on board the yacht Elba, at Gosport, he accidentally drank some detergent in mistake for DOT ter, with the result that his gullet and other internal organs were destroyed. He was removed from the yacht to a man of-war in Gosport harbor. where first aid was given him and afterward was placed In the hands of able surgeons. who not only saved his life. but also enabled him to live for more than ten years In com parative comfort by means of feeding through a tube In his side, leading direct ly to the stomach.
 Wheeling about the town In a bath chair. poor Knight was always an ob- pect of sympathy to residents and visi- tors. It is remarkable that though unable to eat he could always enjoy a smoke He was about 40 years of age at his death.

The Fountain Discovered.

''The old squaw could lead me to the fountain of youth but 1t would take weeks and months probably to make the trip. l fitted up an expedition and within a few days we were on our long journey across hill and plain. At the end of forty days we pitched camp in beau tiful valley not far from the present site of Birmingham.

PIneda's Story.

'The telling of It would have brought me no advantage and I have never there fore, told a human being the history of my life and adventures, began Pin eda, after he had ordered dinner for two.
 ''I have heard that you are an honest man and detest 'faking' or exaggeration in any form and have reserved my story for you. I heard your fame as an honest newspaper man while in Asia Minor two weeks ago and reserved the story until I could see you. For three hundred years I have been looking for a newspaper man who would not fake but failed until now.

Was at St. Pierre.

Il was in St. Pierre. Martinique, May 8, 1902 when the eruption of Mt. PePlee brought death to 5000 unwilling souls. was preserved in my misery.
 Tn my long experience l have fol- lowed nearly every trade and profession known to man and have graduated with honors from nearly all the world famous universities under one name and another. In none have l found the satisfaction for which the soul yearns. By the turn of fortunes wheel I have been mill lionaire and pauper and yet for the past two centuries I have had no home. My soul has grown restless and no place or occupation can hold me long al a time. 1 wonder that I do not grow physically old and feeble with the weary struggle
 One hundred and seventy-ive years ago I returned to the fountain that gave me perpetual youth in the hills of this state and spent several weeks in plug ging up and stopping the flow of the accursed waters In my own misery I was determined that no other creature should be so afflicted. l succeeded and periodically since that time I have re- turned to be sure that the waters do not break forth again. I was there to- day and am satisfied The spot where the spring once flowed Is as dry as desert and there Is no prospect that 1t will ever again break from the inner fountain.

Left Last Night.


 ''I shall leave Birmingham at Il 80 to- night over the Southern railway for Spain where I will revisit the scene of my early childhood. I was there about eighty years ago, Everything is changed. I am able to trace but faint resem- blance to the old hills and valleys where I romped as an innocent boy four hun dred years ago
 As Pineda paused in his story his head dropped on his bosom and he seemed for a minute to be lost in the memory of centuries ago. In a few moments he raised his head and smiled.
 '"rhis is the first time l have ever told my story and l hereby release it for publication if you desire Somehow I feel that I have suffered enough for my crime against the law of God and nature and that death will come to me relief I desired to leave a true and un- colored record of my life and experience as a warning to those who would cling too fondly to the vain things of the world. The plan of life as builded by the Creator is good and perfect.
 Life is beautiful and sweet, but after all, death brings the sublimest moment in the age of man"

After firing a shot or two the robber
gained cover among some bananas
growing near a taro-patch and made
good his escape.
The owner of the stolen property as
