BIG SAVING IS MADE
MANY COMPARTMENTS IN CITY sAN-
 ITARY. DEPARTMENT.
Cut of Employees Will Effect Saving of Approximately 95y000 Year to the City-Citixens
 Must Help i'm Work.

With the number of employees of the Sanitary Department cut notably, the city of Montgomery stands to win, as the sports say. something like $5,000 the year. The Sanitary Department Is the only department. that has been cut but 1t is trying, to continue the good work it has previously done with a larger force.
 First of all, by order of the Mayor, olght negroes employed by the depart ment, were relieved of duty. They had worked on the wagons of. the de- pertinent. After their absence only one man to a wagon is employed. Two men employed with push carts had all ready been deprived of their jobs.
 These were not the only curtail- ments: instead of five sanitary inspec- tors. formerly employed. there are now only two; instead of the steward, the matron and the helper at the Emergen- cy Hospital there is now only the stew ard.
 The cut means 6 saving of S5,00o to the city every year. But whether the cut can be maintained has not yet been decided; only time and experience will answer.
 we are going to do our best" said an officer of the Sanitary Department yesterday. We are willing to try to save money for the city, and we believe we can do the work. But we shall need the cooperation of thescItizens. They must. help us. Already we are pressed with work.
 Tn time we can dc everything but for, the present we ask. and l think we deserve the assistance and the charit- able consideration of the people of Montgomery. It is a question of public economy and we are going to do our part"

DEFENDS ROOSEVELT
BRYAN MAKES POPULAR SPEECH
 AT BANQUET.
He Says The President Is Not To Blame For Financial Panic
 Wall Street Gamblers

Lafayette, Ind.,, Nov, 1S-w, J. Bryan, twice the standard bearer of the Democratic party for the presi- dency, sepaking to an audience of three thousand Democrats at the Jackson Club banquet tonight said with much not be held responsible for the present financial stringency. The blame. he said, should be laid at the door of Wall Street gamblers.
 MT. Bryan said that the man who would withdraw money on deposit from the banks at the present time for hoardng purposes, was like the man who refused to aid his country In time of war. The Nebraskan also spoke in favor of Postal Savings Banks in preference to an asset currency.
 Referring to present financial con- ditions, MT Bryan said:
 I've are in the midst of a financial stringency that is in some respects more acute than that of 1893. I am not going to blame the President or a Re- publican administration. but I know I would be blamed If were President The panic Of 1873 came twelve years after they took power and eleven years before they surrendered the power to the Democrats. I am not going to blame the President because do not think blame should be laid at his door I'm going to do him the justice to say, I won't join the chorus of Eastern financiers who want to make him the scape goat. Those who violate the law should be blamed. not those who have turned on the light recently.
 There is no excuse for the people to be afraid that their banks are not sol vent. Our barns are bursting with the products of the field. What is the cause of this panic? Who Is to blame? ? The Republican leaders who had control of the country for forty-seven years. They have so chained us to Wall Street that when a Wall Street gambler fails. our business world trembles all over the country
 'The common people and not the Wall Street gamblers should handle this situation. The man who will draw out his money now when he does not need it, is in the same class as the man who would refuse to aid flis country in time of war. This is time when great patriotism is needed"
 It was at late hour when MT. Bryan began his address. He said after serv- ing in two campaigns, he did not feel like volunteering again although he would accept the presidential nomina- tion in 1908. if drafted"

 King Ursus was the adoration Of his sub iects and the wonder of the world. The theatre was among his favortte diversions. There was something Tn the glare of the footlights that de- lighted hinf- beyond expression. and was needed to stir to rapture his rev. erent and affectionate people.
 It was the habit of King ursus on these occasions. when the audience was front of the royal box and to below "FireW with all his lungs. Then panic would seize upon the spectators. They would rush out and trampfe one aIf- othe CT to death.
 : Meanwhile King Ursus. justly vexed and angry at their behavior. was ex- postulating to the vacant house: 1T was about to say that Fire in a theatre which is not firepfoof fs ' danger against which we should take not Are proof. All must be made so Until they are I shall not cease to give the alarm and tho warning. no matter how many are injured by the conspi- racy of my enemies to discredit my royal self and maim the populace !"

P0SSUM CAUGHT IN RAID
 ON A CHICKEN HOUSE

Three boys, George, Harry and Hay wood Cook, the sons of Mir. and Mrs. c. B. Cook, of 94 Mobile Street. are getting up early these mornings to see if the 'possum they succeeded in cap turing Sunday evening is yet fat enough to grace the family board. The animal was captured by the three little fellows while engaged in a raid on the Cook chicken house at their residence, within half mile of the very heart of the city.
 The boys were sitting in their home shortly after dusk Sunday evening when they heard commotion among the chickens in the rear. They imme- diately went out to investigate, and found that some strange animal was endeavoring to satisfy his hunger.
 Not content with driving the strang- CT away, the three boys succeeded in surrounding him in a pile of old Ium- Der, and with the aid of a lamp, caught him and penned him up.
 He is not fat enough to make good meal yet but the boys are living in hopes, and from the appetite the pos sum has developed, it would seem their realization Is not very far away.

The Dream CrOps of a Farm. amy Ward Roaehar


 There is something in the owning of a piece of ground which affects me as did the old ruins of England. I am free to confess that the value of a farm is not chiefly in it's crops of ce- real grain. it's orch ards of fruit. and in it's herds: but In those larger and more easily reaped harvests of associa- rions. fancies. and dreamy broodiuga which 1t begets.
 classical civic virtues and old heroic in- tegrity with the soil. No one who has peopled his young brain with the fan cies of Grecian myth ology. but comes to feel a certain magical sanctity for the earth. The very smell of fresh turned earth brings up as many dreams and visions of the country as sandai- wood does of Oriental scenes.
 At any rate. l feel. in walking un~ der these trees and about these slopes. something of that enchantment Of the vague and mysterious glimpsas Of the past. which I once eltfabout the ruins of Wentworth castle. For thousands of years this piece of ground hath wrought it's task. Old slumberous for- ests used to darken it. fnnumerabie deer have trampled across it; foxes wolves have howled and gfowled as they battered along Its rustling leaves with empty maws. How many birds how many ftocks of wild pigeons thousands of years ago: how many hawks dashiRg wildly among them: how many insects. nocturnal and dfIr- nal; how many mailed bugs, and Timber serpents. gliding among messy stones, have had possession here before my days! It will not be long before f, too. shall be as wasted and recordless as they.

Another Nature FaIer Appears.

Washington Letter in New York Sun.
 It was midnight one october night. My wife had gone to bed and l was left all alone in my room reading. ] had partaken of light supper and had just become deeply interested in my work, when I fancied l heard softly whispered from some part Of the room the words, All together, All together"
 Thinking this was merely my imagt- nation resumed my studying. A very short time had elapsed when was in- terrupted a second time by the low whisper, "All together. All together"
 Trying to appear as brave as possi- bie 1 arose from my seat and commence ed a vigorous search about the room, but failed to find from whence the ut terance came
 I sat down once more, this time with the full intention of listening for a repetition of that which I had already heard.
 Ii had not long to wait. however. when Tor the third time l heard the same words the sound appearing to come from within close proximity to where I felt now convinced that it came from some part dG the table and aris- Ing silently and feeling somewhat. ner- Volis crept around to the further end and after making a thorough search I finally came to the cheese dish.
 Imagine my surprise when upon raising the cover, l discovered a mum Der of very small mice endeavoring with all their strength to remove the lid all of thom uttertng the words. "AiI together. All together"

 T heard the talk of Colonel Dnling- ham," he said last night. land was SO impressed that decided to try the soap and salve, so bought some of each and used it with very gratifying re- suits. The itching left me after one or two baths and applications of the saIve and then the entire surface of the body that was affected began to dry up and has scaled on. leaving me as clear skinned as I ever was in my life It Is remarkable stun and you can tell it from me that anyone suffering from a skin disease should try the remedies,  for they will surely cure him."
 Henry Radcliffe is another bene- ficiary, and says that the Plant Juice Tonic has cured him of rheumatism. q have suffered greatly for some time" he said. "my left arm was at times almost useless to me. took the medicine according to directions and now all can say is that the rhsuma- tism has left me and I feel better gem erally."
 Many other such tributes have heen paid the remedies and all arc of the highest order and speak in glowing terms of what Plant Juice has done.
 The platform where the medicine is being sold Is crowded every day with people who want the remedies. and apart from the large. number of bottles which are sold every day and night during the entertainment. there are many others sold by the druggists. and the Plant Juice remedies are beginning to be known all over the country.

 The Constitutional Democrat candi- date, M. Maklakoff, received 133 votes. The Social Democrats refrained from voting.
 Baron Won Meyeudorff, who Is a pro- lessor of the St. Petersburg University. is a member of the Baltic Constitutional party whose aims are similar to those of the octoberists.
 The protests of many Octoberists and many moderates against the choice of the reactionary, I. P. Sazanovitch. of Mohilev, as secretary, were unavailing as he received 239- votes against 140 for M. Tchelnokoff, who was secretary of the lower house of the second Par liament.
 The election of Mir. Sazanovitch aroused the most angry feeling among the Constitutional Democrats and Pro- gressIves.
 The text of the address of the House to the Emperor as drafted by the Octo- berists committee and approved by the Conservatives, declares 1t to be the in- tention of Parliament to carry out to principles of the October manifesto. considering this to be the Emperor's s will and expresses the hope that it will finally abolish anarchy and give the government an opportunity to make progress along the path of reform and grant further civil liberty.
 The address says the house will first devote itself to Audeavoring to bring about a veapproachment between the Emperor and, the people.

Matter Discussed by City x Fathers.
FINALLY LEFT WITH MAYOR
Much Debate on Term Of Contract
 for Leasing Them.
One side Points to Revenue to be De- rived from Leasing system, and
 Other to Need of Street work.

The consideration of the question of the best method of disposing of-the City's convicts was again last night, at the regular meeting of the Council. the great bone of contention, and at last the matter was left open, the May or being given discriminative power In the affair.
 As had been previously stated, the Mayor had asked that certain plans for the leasing of the City's convicts be made and upon the recommendation there had been much debate. It had been held by several aldermen that the laborers afforded the city by the convict system were not adequate to work the streets and that all the cons victs possible should be retained.
 On the other hand it was contended that the city. by the lease of the con- victs. might obtain resources that would readily reimburse the City for it's losses in material labor.
 The question last night was really made upon the term of contract, AL derman Johnson. seconded by Aldermen Saul, favoring contract of two years. Alderman Tyson was in favor of two years. Alderman Seidis asked perti- nent questions about ,he labor of the City and its wages. Mir. Kennedy wished to leave she matter at the dis- cretion of the ISyor, who should de- ternine whetiier the contracts should be for year or for two years. Mir. Tait expressed himself in favor of contract for one year.
 MT. Jones was from the first ex- pressive of opposition to the plan that the Cfty's convicts should be leased and that the convicts should be work ed there. He was In favor. he said. of leasing the women and the young boys but not the men who were able to work.
 Mfr. Saul moved that the advertise ments be for the women and boys and not for the men, who he thought might better be worked upon the streets.
 Finally, after much discussion, the resolution, with the amendment that the bids for labor be received not la- tier than December l, was carried.
 Those present last night were: Pres ident Cunter and Aldermen Brassell, Johnson, Jones, Kennedy, Moritz. Par rish, Perry, Ruth, Saul. Seidle, Tait, Thompson, Toole, Tyson and Virgin. Mir. Jones presided at request of Presi- dent Gunter.
