WOMAN BURNED
TO A CRISP
Of Kerosene Oil Lamp
Causes Terrible Wounds.
Mrs. Juana 4. Moran Drsnched With the
Burning Oil and Her Clothes and
Flesh charred in Horrible
Manner Last Night.

A shocking accident happened
in Brownsville last night, by which
Mrs. Juana A. Moran received burns
of such a severe nature that it is
hardly possible she will recover.
It appears that about 10 o'clock
last night, lamp in her home ex-
ploded, scattering flames over the
room and drenching her clothing
with the burning oil. The flames
literally burned her flesh to crisp,
and although everything has been
done that is possible to relieve the
agony of the poor sufferer it is fear
ed that the shock will be too much
for her system to stand and she
may die within a short time. DR..
Layton is attending to the patient
and is doing all that is possible to
save her life, yet he is not able to
hold cut much hope to the stricken
relatives.

No go, he said.

No, said the salesman. He

METHOD UNCHANGED TALKS TO FARMERS
PROFESSOR ERODE DELIVERS
 LECTURE ON AGRICULTURE.
Urges Planters of Montgomery County To Employ q Rotation of Crops and Get Away From
 Cotton,

Professor D. A. Brodie, agricultural expert of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, delivered a most interesting lecture to the farmers of Montgomery County yesterday at the county court house. The audience was not large, but listened with the closest attention to Professor Brodie's remarks about the best methods of farming
 Professor Brodie was introduced by Colonel A. A. Wiley, who spoke of the work that the Department of Agricul- ture at Washington was trying to do in the South. and on account of which Professor Rrodie was making a tour of lectures through Alabama.
 Professor Brodie opened his remarks by calling attention to the experiments that the government experts were mak- ing with varieties of cotton. which would mature before the boil weevil could hurt the crop He expressed the opinion that the destructive march of the boil weevil would be chacked be- fore the deadly insect could reach the farms of Alabama.
 Professor Brodie laid special stress upon the importance of having more than one crop on the same farm. Of- ten, from some unforeseen cause the years crop would be spoiled and the small farmer ruined. This chance would be greatly lessened if there were more than one crop on the same farm.
 Especial attention was called to a system of rotation of crops and the great importance Of winter pasturage, especially for cotton growers. Rye or winter barley was suggested as the best The lecture was closed with an invi- tation for everyone in the audience. who cared to do so, to ask practical questions of Professor Brodie

 Post cards, bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand tinsel or other substances are unmailable except when enclosed in envelopes or when treat ed in such manner as will prevent ob- Jectionable substances from being rub bed off or injuring persons handling mail.
 The new schedule of increased sala- ries of postal clerks Is explained In that, beginning July 1, 1907 all rail- way postal clerks will receive an in- crease of $100 per year in their sala- ries. This will affect twenty-one rail- way clerks paid off from the Mont gomery post office.
 Among other thing, The Guide also says that shortly after June 30, there will be a new issue of stamped envel- opes and newspaper wrappers, bearing embossed postage stamps of new de- signs. The 1-cent stamp will be in green and will bear likeness of Ben jamin Franklin the 2-cent stamp will be in red. and on it there will be likeness of George Washington; the 4 cent denomination will be black and will contain a likeness of Benjamin Franklin, while George Washington's bust will orament the 5-cent stamp. which will be in bue.

HULL sTREETERs JUBILANT.
Delighted With Passage of the Asphalt
 Paving Ordinance.

Property owners on Hull Street are jubilant over the fact that the Coun- cil at is last meeting, passed the ordi- nance which makes provision for the paving of Hull Street with asphalt from South Street to Fielder, in Clover dale.
 The ordinance providing for the paw ing was first introduced in the Coun- cil two weeks ago, and the action last Monday night met fully the wishes of the property owners who had made re- quest of the Aldermen for the improve ment.
 According to law, the ordinance will be left untouched for the space of thir- ty days, allowing property owners time to file objections to the work. Should no protest be filed, the fathers will ad vertlse for bids at some time in the very near future, and the work be com menced
 At Monday nights session the city fathers passed upon an ordinance au- thorizing the Mayor to acquire the one piece of property on the street that was needed before the work could he begun. The expense attached to the city in the acquisition Is inconsider- able; the right of way being practically a gift to the city.
 Ordinances providing for the paving of Hull Street with asphalt from Wash ington Street to South have already been passed, and the contract awarded With this other ordinance which was passed on Monday night, Hull Street will have the longest asphalt paving in the city, and the thoroughfare will be one of the handsomest.

BRANDON EXPLAINS THE NEW
 PENSION LAW.
No Innovation Has Been Made in Ways and Means of the Pension Ex- aminers in Distribution
 of Work.

Gen. W. W. Brandon, State Auditor, yesterday gave out a statement as- surfing the sixty-seven County Boards of Pension Examiners that the last Legislature made no change in the pension laws which changes the method of pension examiners or which af- fected in any way the qualification of applicants for pensions.
 The statement pointed out that the Legislature made only two changes in the pension laws. The first increased the amount which was to be paid each pensioner. The second provided that the pensioners should in the future receive their warrants quarterly in stead of annually as in the past The last law largely increases the work of the Auditors office. In fact, 1t more than doubles the work of the pension clerk, but it neither changes in asy way nor affects the discharge of the duties of members of the County Boards.
 q would like for that information to be given as wide distribution as pos sible," said Auditor Brandon yester- day."we are in receipt of a great many letters asking information as to changes in the pension laws The let ters mainly come from members of County Boards, who seem to be under the impression that the Legislature aHected many changes III thetF uuEes Some of the pensioners. too, think that the laws have been greatly changed But the changes were only two fin number; first, the increase of the amounts to be paid all pensioners of all classes, and, second, the provision declaring that pensions should be paid quarterly instead of annually as in the past. The warrants for the first quarterly payment under the new law will be ready for distribution octo- ber l."

was attempting to pull his pistol when he slipped and fell. The weapon was discharged and the bullet struck Mir. Isaac who died subsequently, at a hos pital.
 When the case went before Judge Sayre yesterday on its pleadings. coun- sel for the insurance company enter ed the plea that. when Julius Isaac took out the policy he was engaged in the occupation of a travelling salesman. and when he was killed, he had chang ed his pursuit to that of a saloon keep CT, which was much more hazardous. It was claimed that. for the increased risk there should be decrease from the face value of the policy.
 Judge Sayre concluded that the oc- cupation of a retail liquor dealer was much more risky than that of a drum mer and he accordingly decided to sub tract s996.50 from the original am- ount, thereby leaving a judgment of s4,00350 for the plaintiff. Under in- structions, the jury then brought in a verdict for this amount.
 It was not known yesterday whether the case would be appealed.
