A FINE COLOR Is YELLOW.
Its Present Use is a Case Of the
Mighty Having Fallen.

In ancient mythology yellow was sa-
cred to Jupiter. and to be worn on
Sunday. the day ruled by the sun and
consecrated to diety. Saffron or flame
colored robes were also dedicated to
Hymen. says the Queen. and brides
were covered with a veil called the
flammarion, without which no mar
riage vow was held binding.
The imperial color of China Is or
ange and Is sacred to the use of the
Son Of Heaven. Yellow mixed with
red Is often an emblem of turbulence,
as the orange lily badge of the Orange
men of Ireland.
Yellow is considered fundamental
color. like red and blue; its principle
is healing. stimulating. but may prove
injurious and overexciting to very ir-
ritable and nervous conditions. as II

MEDICAL MEN AND
 LAWYERS DISCUSS
MEET JOINTLY WITH THE VIEW OF CONSIDERING MANNER THAT DOCTORS ARE HANDLED WHILE ON WITNESS STAND.

The manner In which lawyers treat phy sicians while on the witness stand was discussed at a combined meeting of mem bers of both professions at the regular meeting of the Jefferson County Medical association, held in the city hall last night The representatives of the bar who pleaded their side of the case were James Weatherly, who made a speech setting forth in detail his reasons for doctors being handled In a manner which they describe as rough, and Sterling A. Wood and Judge Nesmith, who made short talks. The presentation of the case from the medical point of view was made by Dr. Cunningham, Dr. Brown, pr. Harrison and Dr. Rosser
 The lawyers gave as their reason for the doctors being handled as they were the fact that the medical man allowed his personal feelings to have too much play and would become prejudiced on one side of the case. They were also of the opinion that the doctor was his own en- emy because when on the stand he would not use plain language, but would stick to hls terminology. They said that the physician was a witness far above the average because his mind was trained to diagnosis.
 The doctors claimed that they were un- fairly treated while on the witness stand because of the fact that they were conn pelled to answer either the one word, Yes or No" to a question without the privilege of stating any modifying circumstances. The doctors maintained that members of their profession were the most truthful men on earth and that their honor was too great for them to allow prejudice to enter into their testimony at all. while the lawyers didn't care rap for the truth just so they got veddict in their favor. a-.A '
 There were good many witticisms back and forth during the evening and the meeting was mutually interesting.

 They go to pull against such towns as Milwaukee and half a dozen other large cities, but do not intend to leave a rock unturned between them and the prize. An effort will be made to enlist the sup port of most of the southern delegations, including Mississippi, Georgia and Louis jana, and if the delegates do not come back with the 1907 flag, they will have a certain promise for 1908

M. Y. JOSEPH WAS
 GUEST OF HONOR
ON THE EVE OF HIS DEPARTURE FOR EUROPE HEADS OF DE- APARTMENTS GIVE HIM AN ELE. CANT DINNER.

The heads of departments of Loveman, Joseph & Loebs rendered M. V. Joseph complimentary dinner at the Hotel Hill man last night. It was an elegant affair and all the speeches had happy ring
 Mr. Joseph leaves soon for Europe for a three months vacation. He was re- gently appointed colonel on Governor Corners staff. It was 10 celebrate these two events that the dinner was arranged. Toastmaster Purcell opened the exercises with these remarks:
 MT. Joseph-most of us will feel strangeness and remoteness about the title of Col. Joseph-is man whom most of you have known for longer time than I. You know how hard he has worked, what considerate interest he has always shown in his employees; you know his fairness and generosity; his mastery of details of dry goods merchandising; you know how hard he has worked for Bfr- mingham, and you know how useful and successful his life has been; and l am sure that each and all of you will join with me in hoping that that life will not be dimmed until this city, with whose upbuilding he has been such a potent fac tor shall have taken it's place among the greatest cities of the nation.
 The success of the house of I.ovemen. Joseph & Loeb is triumph of the indus try, business acumen and common sense which characterize all of the men who compose the firm, and MT. Joseph's part in that success has been a most notable one"
 MT. Ezekiel, the veteran head of the accounting department, delivered a bright and witty poem of his own composing.
 The menu cards were artistically de- signed and contained list of those pres ent, as follows;
 Col. M. V. Joseph. Mr. A. B. Loveman. MT. Leopold Loeb Mir Lenk, air. Leonce Joseph, Mir. Hogan Mir. Giles, MT Smith, MT. Goodwin, Mr. Honig. Mir. Rundbach, Mir. Leo Loeb, Mir Ezekiel. MT.

Some babies do not deserve to live at all, as Dr. Little said; they have hope less case of indigestion and dyspepsia. God never called you here to do secondary things. Look back to the day you con sidered yourself called to the ministry; ask yourself the question what motives were in your heart when you said, I will not study law. l will not study medicine or banking; l will go into the ministry There was but one question in your mind when you answered that call, if, indeed, you received the call. and 1t was call to win the lost for Jesus Christ.
 You began your mission then in the world, with the only thought of teaching the unsaved the way of light, and what has ever diverted you from it. Filling up the time with other things. Let us have the one purpose the one great con trolling purpose and devote our entire time and energy to 1t. Not my dear friends. that others may find us to be eloquent speakers, or that others may find us to be extremely orthodox. or that they find us to be extremely cultured in this or that or the other.
 T believe we have come to a time when we can say this in perfect clear ness. It is a disgrace for gospel min ister to be fiattered for any other req son than for his soul winning power. You may be a learned speaker. and fascinat- ing speaker, but my dear friends, if he is not a soul winner he hasn't the right to be called servant of the Lord Jesus Christ: he is not having compassion on the multitude, not at all
 ''I knew another man who had been for years writing learned treatise on Sent- mental Geography. I asked. My dear sir, what Is that, the pergrinations of two lovers?' He said, Certain ideas are prev alent In certain localities, certain habits and certain customs distinguish one coun- try from another.' He actually asked me to recommend to publishing com pany that it be published, and wished me to read the manuscript My reply was T haven't the time to be a student of Sentimental Geography
 "Oh, friends, this one great purpose of winning the lost for Jesus Is possible only when we have a passion for souls. Jesus, when he saw the multitude, had compa ssion on them, for they were as sheep not having q shepherd, and he be- gan to teach them many things"

BURTON ON RIVER
 AND HARBOR POLICY
Chairman of Inland Waterways
 Commission at St, Louis
TRIP DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI
Ohio Congressman Tells of Four Con elusive Reasons Why Congress Did Not Adopt improvement
 Last Wlner.

St. Louis, May Congressman Theo- dore E. Burton of Ohio, chairman of the inland waterways commission, who ar rived today to accompany the other mem bers of the committee on an inspection trip down the -..ississippi river, delivered a speech tonight at the Olympia theatre on Some Features of Our River and Harbor Policy" He said in part:
 While this proposed improvement has not been condemned by Congress and will surely receive the most careful consider alton when a complete examination of it has been made by the engineers of the government, there were four conclusive reasons why 1t was not adopted last winter.
 First was that while and proposed im- provement of rivers and harbors of un- doubted merit had been pending for years which had not been adopted or completed though the task was comparatively small an appropriation of SSl ,O0O0O0 urged for adoption after only a few weeks or at most months, agitation in It's behalf.
 Second, objection was a hard and fast rule, to place in a river and harbor bill no appropriations for harbors or channels not recommended by a board of review created in 1902 and made up of expert engineers. The proposed waterway was adversely reported by this board.
 The third objection was that while it was in contemplation to provide water way fourteen feet in depth from Chicago to the gulf, only that portion between St. Louis and Chicago had been surveyed. and 1t would be injudlicous to proceed with the construction of part without knowledge of the cost and probable util- ity of the other portion between St. Louis and the gulf.
 'rhe fourth objection was the fact as stated by the governor of Illinois In his message that the construction of this waterway would develop a water power worth three millions year and would aid in the drainage or reclamation of S00000 acres of land"
 MT. Burton said government engineer had reported that whoever enjoyed this water power could afford to build that section between St. Louis and Chicago.

 the Slightest.

A negro baby boy ran directnly in front. of an East Lake car last night as it was passing through Avondale. The motor man had no time to stop and while everyone held his breath the car ran full upon him.
 Almost as a miracle, however, the baby stumbled just before the car came to where he was and he fell fiat The car passed over it's body without apparently hurting him in the slightest.
 When he disappeared under the fender every passenger thought the little fellow was killed, but the moment after the mother ran out ard picked up the child, which seemed to be as lively as ever.
