Champagne Drinking Made Easy.

Explaining the greatly increased con- sumption of champagne in this country, a Fifth avenue hotel proprietor said yes terday Many persons who formerly avoided the bubbling wine of France out of fear of a headache or an attack of gout the morning after have learned thoroughly the value of the English GUS tom of drinking Apollinaris at dinner at which they partake of champagne" He explained that the Apollinaris, with its moderate amount of bi-carbonate of soda, was sufficiently alkaline to remove acidity of the stomach, and, containing it's own natural gas. it was additionally pleasant and wholesome. He pointed out that the London Lancet and medical au- thorities in general asserted that carbonic acid gas was an aid to digestion

 lnhuman Mother.

Selma, June 1S.-(Special.) )-The Dallas County Medical society held a meeting last night and among the important mat ters that came up was a project to build hospital to be maintained jointly by the city and the county, the institution to be such one as will be commensurate with
 the wealth and influence of this com
 munity.
 A committee, composed of Drs. E. B.
 Ward, B. B. Rogan and Clement Ritter,
 was appointed to take the matter up and
 see if the Vaughan estate, which left a fund for the erection of a hospital could k not be interested in joining the city and county in the project. This committee will work out the details of the project and
 will further report to the society and
 make public in short while the conclu-
 sions reached.
 Selma is already the best equipped city in the south. perhaps, certainly for its size in the matter of private sanatorums and hospitals. There are three institutions here, the equal of any that can be found anywhere. All three are up-to-date and served by skllful surgeons There is also city infirmary but this latter does not meet the needs of a rapidly growing city With the fund left by MT. Henry Vaughan, which amounts to several thou sand dollars, such an institution could be erected as it would be a great credit to the city and county and an everlasting monument to the memory of MT.

StaIlinqs' Candidacy.

the ring against Colonel Bankhead for election by the legislature to succee< Sen- ator Morgan is Hon. Jesse F. ctallings, some time member of Congress from the Second district, some time candidate for governor and for alternate senator in the last campaign.
 Representatives of this county in the legislature of Alabama received today let ters from MT. Stallings announcing the fact that he would be a candidate, and stating that he would follow the letter in few days with a more succinct pre- sentation of his claims for the votes of the members of the legislature.
 On the streets today and around the cotton exchange the probability of Sen ator Bankhead's election was the main topic of discussion. MT. Bsnkhead has many warm adherents in this section and they declare that no other democrat has any more right to oppose him before the legislature than Dr. Cunningham would have had the right to oppose MT. Conner in the November election. That to consider the situation otherwise is to take advantage of a mere technicality.
 It is possible that the Dallas senator and representatives, owing to the fact that Hon. John B. KL.x received the most votes in this county, will consider themselves bound to vote for him should he be in the race. If this principle Is adhere to over the rest of the state MT. Bankhead would not object, as he carried forty-two counties in the state and re- ceived the second highest vote in sixteen others. In the event Mir. Knox does not enter the race, and his strongest friends trust he will not place himself in such an attitude Dallas four votes will most like ly go to Mir Bankhead in preference to any one else.

the benefit of the lowly people OF
her country.

ity that as soon as the $4,000 900
donation is well started on its in

til the larger part of her fortune is

This means that when this phil
anthropic woman dies, the great
riches accumulated on Wall st. by
Russell Sage during a lifetime OF
close attention to business will pass
in benefits to the unfortunates, the
penniless and the suffering of the
nation.
The plan which Mrs. Russell
Sage has adopted for administrat-
ing her gift Is a close parallel to
that of John D. Rockefeller and the
general education board. The Sage
millions will be used primarily to
aid organizations and institutions
already organized to relieve the
needs of the poor and the victims
of unjust living conditions, Just as

Why Jimmy Didn't Sit Down.

suburban trolley.

"does it profit a woman if she gain
the elusive bargain and loses every
trace of physical freshness?'
Presently the car came along. 1t
had the usual crowd of humanity, and
the woman resignedly prepared to
stand. when a grimy youth arose and
rendered her his place. Protesting
family, she sank into it guiltily and
registered vow never to shop over
time again.
In due time several seats were vacat-
ed, and the woman looked hopefully
toward her knight.

there's room inside now. Why don't
you sit DOWN."

Tears and JOY.

Under the title clears Of Joy"
George Friederici writes to a Berlin
paper that the custom of weeping and
bowling on all occasions of great JOY
was general among the early inhabit-
ants of America" and that in many
tribes visited by him in South America
the approved form of welcome was
still to weep. clears of welcome" he
says, are also shed by the natives of
the Caribbean islands and by the
Sioux, Algonquins and other North
American Indians. From all that l
have seen, I judge that in times past
tears and JOY were inseparable and
that the emotion which civilized peo-
pie now display at parting was once
the expression of hearty welcome"
