the forest held high carnival. I first
passed the "Jungle" and viewed the
lions, leopard, tigers, bi-hybrids,
jaguars, wolves, bears, sea lions, and
some others to whom | had never

tying acts; shut in a great steel arena
with fierce but well trained wild ami
mails which performed some truly
remarkable feats. The acts were
startling, and some of them different
from anything had ever before seen
at a trained animal exhibition. The
act calculated to excite the most
wonder was that of Capt. Winston's

that | have given little thought to

We never repent OF eating too little" W as
one of the ten rules OF life of Thomas Jeffer-
son, president of the United States, and the
rule applies to every one without exception
during this hot weather. because it is hard
for food, even in small quantities, to be di-
gested when the blood is at high tempera-
ture. At this season we should eat sparing-
ly and properly. We should also help the
stomach as much as possible by the use OF a
little kodol for Indigestion and Dyspepsia,
which will rest the stomach by digesting the
food itself. Sold at Parker's Two Drug

On cross-examination DR.. Hamilton
admitted that he had not examined
the defendant recently. The defen-
dant'S counsel fought against DR..
HamiltOn's testimony to the very
last.
Failing in the plea of professional
privilege as a bar, his examinations
of the defendant were too remOte'to
be of any value at this time.
The commission decided to allow
the testimony
Mr. Jerome's experts. one after
another, agreed that Thaw is a para
noiac, and that such eases are incur
able.
DR.. Flint gave new touch to the

of prosecutions are rapidly changing

 The resolutions declared that legis- lative shortening of hours of labor, the interference against the employer in behalf of the employe by legislative action and the attempt to interfere with all kinds of business through the law, are undermining confidence in business investments and depreciating the quality and standard of labor and labor's product.

 Dear Brethren;
 Last spring we made appeal to the Methodists of Alabama for money to nut in an Electric Plant. tat we might remove the Deadly Lamp" that was then q constant menace to the lives or our children. We had the plant begun before the claim was placed before our people, and our faith in their respond ing to the call was justified by a llp- eral response The plant is paid Tor and other necessary improvements made and paid for from the monies re- ceived.
 In the appeal made at that time. we mentioned the necessity of substituting steam Heaters for the Open Crate. We have now decided to put In ;he Steam Heating Plant--In fact an en- zine and boiler of sufficient capacity have already been bought--and we rely upon the liberality of our MethodlsI brethren to pay for the plant.
 The Engine, Boiler, Pump and Rad- iators will cost about $3,000. and when completed will run the Dynamo for our one hundred Electric Lights tdoins away with the present gasoline en- gineD pump water over the building, run the laundry and wood saw, ana stea m heat the entire building, Th's l improvement Is an absolute necessity ss | a sanitary measure, and more so as protection against the open grate and | the kerosene lamp.

It is possible that never before have
 the local lovers of baseball been stir
 red up to the extent they are now over
 the seating arrangements at the ball
 park. The fact that the bleachers have
 been located in such an absurdly impos-
 sible position, gives color to the gossip
 going on among the local fans to the
 effect that the entire business is a
 hold-up game---a scheme to force men
 to sit in the grandstand.
 In the first place, there are nun
 dreds of men who under no circuh.
 stances will sit anywhere on the grounds except on the bleachers. Tn the next place, the management shouid have business sagacity enough to know that the game of baseball is supported almost entirely by the bleachers.
 Out of 500 people at q game or Dall, a small estimate would say that sDU of them are on the bleachers, the oln- means the sum of $200 from these dyed | i'm the wool .sungods" and $75 from the patrons of the grandstand. It would seem good business policy al in the management to try and make l the bleacher element comfortable in- stead of doing everything possible 70 | make them as uncomfortable as pos- sible. If the present policy IS adhered l to, it simply means that the attendance | this summer win be cut down more l than 50 percent,
 10 go in the grandstand every day | means an outlay of SO cents for any man in Montgomeryl-25 cents at the gate, 25 cents in the grandstand and | 10 cents carfare. On the bleachers the outlay Is only 35 cents a day--2h cents at the gate and 10 cents car fare. There are hundreds of people in U Montgomery who would like to go tc every game of ball played here, and ey sitting on the bleachers. they do go ] to most of them. Numbers of these ! people, however, while they are per, | fectlv willing to pay the 25 cents every ] day at the gate. are unwilling and re-
