The authorities of Wilkesbarre Pa, have sue
ceeded in convicting eleven out of thirteen men
charged with crimes of the "Black Hand" the
secret Italian society of criminals whose outrages
have terrorized their fellow countrymen in
various communities 1t is expected that this
commendable work of the courts will break up
in, large measure, the organization that has
been noted for blackmail and murder, and which
has given the police officials in many states no
end OF trouble. Many of the witnesses against
the accused knew that, should the men on. trial
escape convictions the lives those who testified
against them would be in peril and theX deserve
the thanks of all law-abiding people for their ser
vice to society. Now that successful move has
been made against the criminals in one OF their
stronghods the authorities should persist until
these bands of conspirators are Broken up.

AMONG THE CLERGY. Coffee Being Replaced by Postum Food
 Coffee.

.I am the wife of a minister. About three years ago a warm friend an eXem- plary mother and the conscientious wife of a minister, asked me if l had ever tried giving up coffee and using Postum Food Coffee l had been telling her of my eX- cessive nervousness and ill health. She sad: We drink nothing else for break fast but Postum and 1t is a delight and comfort to have something that we do not have to refuse the children when they ask for it.
 '-I was surprised that she would permit the children to drink even the food cof- fee, but she explained that it was a most healthful beverage and that the children thri el on it. A very little thought con vinced me that for brain work, one should have fcod and the very best of food
 My first trial of Postum was a failure The maid of all work brought it to the table, lukewarm, weak, and altogether lacking in character. We were in de- spair, but decided on one more trial. At the second trial we faithfully followed the directions used four teaspoonfuls to the pint of water, let it boil full fifteen min utes after the real boiling began. and ser-'ed it with rich cream. It was deli cious and we were all won.
 q have since sung the praise of Postum Food Coffee many, many occasions and have induced numbers of friends to abandon coffee and use Postum, with re- markable results The wife of a college professor said to me a short time ago that nothing had ever produced so marked a change in her husbands health as the leaving off of coffee and the use of Pos tum fl, it's place" 'Theres a Reason" Red.

JURY FOR wATERs-PlERcE CASE
Texas Brings Another Suit on Anti
 Trust Laws.

Austin, May 21.-A jury was secured at noon today in the case of the state of Texas vs. the Waters-Pierce Oil company, wherein the company is sought to be busted under the anti trust laws of the state. As prelim- mary movement in the matter of in- troducing evidence, the state had read in regular order the charters of the Standard Oil company, of Ohio, as now existing, the Waters-Pierce Oil com pany, of Missouri, of the year 1878. and the present charter of the Stand ard Oil company was then submitted in connection with affidavits from Ida Tarbell, and at adjourning time to- night that matter was being presented slowly and was being strongly objected to by the defense.
 Without any ruling upon the issue involved, the jury in the case, unlike most juries in a civil case. is being kept in charge of the sheriff and Is not allowed to communicate with any one.

Bishop Watterson Wins Out.

Columbus. O.. May A.-The supreme court handed down decision today in the long contested case of the late Bishop John Watterson against w. H. Halliday, auditor of Franklin county. MT. Halliday conceived the idea that all of the prop erty held by the bishop for the Catholic chu.ca was not used exclusively for reli- gious or ehafitable purposes, not only that upon which the bishops and priests houses or dormitories. were located, was subject to taxation, and he brought suit to collect the taxes. The supreme court decided against him and exempted a large part of the parcels described in the peti- tion, but it appears that some of the properties are held to be taxable.

Says Governor Objected to
 Catholic Immigrants
GIVES ITS AUTHORITY
A Tray of Rings Stolen From the JeweIry Store of E. H. Hobbs. Grayson's Resignation
 Is Accepted.

Selma, May 21.-(Special)-Th Selma Journa. makes reply to the denial of Gov. Conner of the charge of his having sail, We don't want any Catholic flood tide in Alabama" referring to immigra- ton, as follows:
 The governor makes the declaration that "1he Selma Journal has no founda- ton whatever for the statement" On February l2 and 13 last Mir. Lyndley D. Clark, of the bureau of labor of the de- partment of commerce, Washington, D. C.. was in Selma. He had come to this cit. directly from Montgomery, where he had an extended interview with Gov Conner. The purpose of his visit to Ala bama was to ascertain the sentiment of the people generally on immigration, whether immigrants are desired, what kind of immigrants, etc. MT. Clark upon being asked the attitude of the governor upon immigration as 1t impressed him, shook his head and smiled, and comment ed upon the governors opposition to the immigration bill then pending (the bill afterwards changed to suit the gover- nors views). In the conversation that followed and as showing the sentiments of the governor as they impressed him, MT. Clark quoted the governor as saying we don't want any Catholic fioodtide in Alabama" MT. Clark then declared his amazement at the governor making such remark. Asked the second time the next morning, the first conversation having occurred the night before, MT. Clark repeated the words quoted and again expressed surprise that the gover- nor would so declare himself. If such statement, from such source, was not foundation enough for the publication, the Journal does not know what is sufficient for the publication of any news item.
 The governor in his letter to the Morn ing Times does not specifically deny that he said to MT. Clark: We don't want any Catholic fioodtide in Alabama" He does say: q have never said to any one that I objected to a Catholic wheth- CT immigrant or any one else," and here the Journal will let the matter rest for the present, feeling sure that Gov. Conner will give it the credit of having given that publicity to his letter the duty of newspaper conducted upon high lines de- mands
 The paragraph published in the Journal which occasioned a letter from the gover- nor to the Selma Times was as follows:
 'The truth is, Gov. Conner is not in fa- vor of immigration. On one occasion he declared in his vehement manner to a visitor in his office who was here inves- tigating the matter of interest in imm- grafton, We don't want any Catholic fioodtide in Alabama. "

Stole Tray of Rinas.


 A slick thief stole a tray of gold rings this morning about 9 o'clock The thief was a negro who was in the store at the time for the alleged purpose of purchas- ing ring. He looked at a number of trinkets and, after he left, one of the trays containing rings was missed. Some fifteen or twenty minutes elapsed after the negro had left the store before the tray was missed. One of the attaches of the establishment had been waiting on the negro and there were other customers claiming his attention. MT. Hobbs hap pened to go into the case and missed the tray. Police headquarters was immediate ly notified and a description of the miss ing rings given to Chief Walters. About an hour after the tray of rings was missed the tray was brought to police headquarters. [. had been found In the alleyway leading to Ike's sn loon where, evidently, the thief mad thrown 1t away after putting the contents in his pocket.
 There were no diamond rings in the tray, but there were about three dozen set rings valued from $3 to $15 and aggregat- ing in the neighborhood of about $2O0. The thief evidently slipped the tray under his coat. It had top to it which kept the rings from falling out, and the thief kept it under his coat until he reacehd the alley when he emptied the rings into his pocket and threw the tray away. l The robbery was exceedingly d bold one, but the police department hope to gain some clue to the perpetrator of the deed.
 Resignation Accepted.
 At the special meeting of the city coun- ell held yesterday afternoon the resigna- ton of Council c. c. Grayson was ac- cepted and an election called for Monday Juliy l. Bids were ordered advertised for for furnishing medicine for paupers and the committee on printing and stati- onery with the mayor added were author i ized to receive bids for publication of the city statements, notices, etc. i It Is expected that the city executive committee will meet tomorrow and call a primary election for June 24

Thomson, the white man caught in the St. James hotel with property belonging to other guests of the ! houses. Chief Wier states that Thomson was arrested for grand larceny In Bir- mingham but was released because the charge could not be proven, that he was also arrested for vagrancy.
 The fire department water proof hat and hood that the man declared he got in Bessemer was taken from the Selma fire department headquarters Sunday morning. He went upstairs in the head quarters of the department and asked Chtr Blakely if that was hotel Re- fore going down he must have taken the cap The fellow does not appear to be exactly right in mind.
