-----~--------------.---- PALMER WAS BENEFITED.
Lackayvannm Was Nos Playing to the
 Sugar Trust

New York. March i5 Officers of the Delaware. 1.aclSawanna and Wes- tern Railroad Company had been as- sursd before any payment was made that Lowell N. Palmer and not the American Sugar Refining Company would profit by the return of cer- tain portion of the amount received by the railroad company for the transportation of sugar in f902 1903 and 1904 according to testimony given today by vice-Presidens Caldwell, be- fore the United States court.
 On cross examination the witness said that the Lackawanna would have got its six per cent share of the sugar haul if no such payments had been made, but as 1t felt that Mfr. PaI- mer suffered a loss because the light craze business was diverted from the Palmer terminals by reason of a con- tract with the Starin company, it was felt that the allowance of the extra lighterage to him not only just and equitable, but fair as between man and man In view of the existing conditions.
 Mir. Caldwell declared that the offi- cialS of the road knew these payments had not the remotest connection with the sugar company and that by no stretch of the imagination could they be considered rebates or a concession to the sugar company in return for it's business.
 Testimony to the effect that all the members of the trunk line association knew of the contract made between the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and Mr. Palmer was given by H. c. BIy. member of the trunk line asso- ciation, In 1903.
 President Truesdale of the Laeka- wanna, corroborated Mir. Caldwell as to the lighterage payments. saying that the road felt 1t morally owed MT. Palmer something. The witness also was certain that the money paid did not go to the sugar trust as re. bates.
 President Truesdale was followed by Lowell M. Palmer, who has been regarded as the principal witness for the defense. He swore positively that not one cent of the money received by him went to the sugar refining come pany. On cross examination, howev- CT. Mir. Palmer said that the Haye- meyers were interested with him in the ownership of Palmer's docks.
 With the conclusion of Palmer's testimony the defense announced that it rested it's case. A motion that the indictment be dismissed on the ground that the government had failed to make out the prfma faeie case re- quired by law was denied.

RELIGION ON WAIVE.
President is Urged to Stimulate Inter
 est In New York.

est In New York.
 Washington, March 13.-The decline of religious interest in New York, par ticularly among workingmen was the subject of conference at the White House today between the President and Dr. A. P. Atterbury, President; Dr. Walker Laidlaw, Secretary, and Dr. Sage Donald Mackay, represent ing the federation of churches of that city.
 Their visit was for the purpose of enlisting the Presidents aid toward arousing a greater interest in religion in New York and thereby effecting the establishment of additional churches.
 It was pointed out that there are three less Protestant churches in New York than there were six years ago, although there are six more Catholic churches and eighteen more Syna- gogues- The federation believes, how ever, that notwithstanding these fn- ereases religious interest in New York is on the wane and It's members are doing everything possible to check the condition by holding daily services in various parts Of the city where con siderable numbers of wOrkingmen are employed.
 The President displayed deep inter- est in the matter and promised to aid the cause in every way possible.

 Indtgestion--How To Cure Fly
 Strengthening the Stomach.
 If you have ever suffered with q weak stomach you must realize that the digestive system is to the body what the foundation is to the house. the base of support and strength.
 Whatever hurts your stomach or lessens it's power, hurts all other parts of the body and tmpairs their powers If the stomach is weak and distressed, one organ after another win be in- zvolved until the heart, kidneys and liver are all distressed
 Get the stomach right and health will natura1lyy come to the other or gans. This explains why q good many people who have doctorec for years for diseases of the heart, Kidneys or Afi-o-nal stomach tablets. They found to their astonishment ana happiness that, when the weak stomach was strengthened, their health returned, the heart became regular, the torpid liver active and the kidneys healthy.
 Do not think we claim Mi-o-na is a ecure-alI." It Is not. It is 8 specific for all distresses of the stomach, and when it strengthens the stomach and cures indigestion, you will soon be well all over without further medicine
 Mi-o-na- Is sold only m soc boxes, never in bulk It is sold under an ab- selute guarantee by F. c. Fowler to refund money unless 1t cures. -S

 Heavy.

Al inc Montgomery Fair, the display of creations of millinery art was most attractive point for the shoppers who thronged the streets Tho reputatioh Of this popular fashion centre was more than sustained. for the exhibition was an artistic success in point or seieehiVh of styles and materials.
 The time has come In the history of feminine wearing apparal when aimost everything is in vogue and the mer- chant and heads of the various depart msnts composing his establishment must of necessity be artists In their lines. or the indefinable something call ed taste will be sacrificed to style, for the path Is not so narrow and well de- fned as 1t used to be, and q shop could be fiIled with creations that are un- disputably fin style' but not tasteful.
 The air of good taste predominated in the selection of millinery at the Mont. gonaery Fair that was displayed yes- terday for the opening day of that es- tablishrnent. And this fact was ap- preciated by the hundreds of shoppers who called to look" and remained to purchase. The spring problem was set tied for many household at the Fair yesterday.
 Some Of the beautiful patterns seen were:
 Lovely chips and leghorns covered with all the blossoms of the season for young faces. There were beauties cov- cred with roses galore, grasses, mar guerites. orchids and liIacs.
 A gorgeous large white hat had flow CT crown of violets and maiden hair fern, witr fall of blue ribbon at the back This is Georgette model.
 A white French Neapoiftan hat was a large droop shape with garland of wild roses in shades Of pink, a drape of black lace outlined in drops of jet, and under the brim was. a graceful black plume.
 The Belle of Mayfair Poke Is one of the latest craze. There were some exquisite ones at the Far.

\ Tn most respects, the Roy Young Concert Company, composed of Birm- tngham musical talent, was disap- pointment to the audience which nearly filled the pit of the Bijou Theatre, Wednesday night.
 Of the three musicians who played on the program, Edward G. Powell. the vocalist, and c native Montgomer- ian, was received with most enthusi- asrn. From an artistic point of view. his numbers were probably better ex- ecuted than any others during the eve- hing. Since Mir. Powell was last heard in Montgomery, he has made rapid strides and his voice was rich and clear. He displayed good control and elasticity and sang with much expression.
 As to the violinist, Roy Young, there is a possibility that he could have irn-. pressed Montgomery's real lovers of good music more favorabiy had he been fortunate enough in selecting q strict 'ly good program throughout In the beginning he played several fine num- bers. displaying technique and strtk- ingfy an ability to execue harmonics. But his series of limitations of birds, during the last part of the entertain ment, were essentially tricks on the vio- lin the kind that aesthetical musicians regard as out of place on classic pro- gram. But we may forgive Mr. Young as he was the composer of these bird studies, and, according to interlinea- lions in the program, the renowned Ku- belik "promised' to feature them.
 It can be said for Mrs. Dorothy Lewis, pianist of the evening, that she possessed sweet touch--a knaek of touching the keys lightly, thereby af- fording a deIicacy of shading to her numbers. She would have been at de- cidedly more advantage had she been provided with a grand piano instead of an upright for her playing.
 The concert was given under the aus pices of the Young Womeus Christian Association. The participants in the program are among the principals in the Birmingham College of Music.
