HOUSE COMMITTEE REPORTS FA.
 VORABLY ON AMOUNT.
Fyfth District Agricultural sclsesi Cd Re Helped in Esfert te Restore Buildings Destroyed
 by Fire.

The Alabama Legislature will prob ably give the Fifth District Agricu1- tural School the sum of $10.O00 to re- place the buildings recently destroyed by fire. The House Committee on Ap- propriations yesterday favorabiy re- ported the bill making that approprta- ton.
 The school has the reputation of be- ing ono of the most successful In the State. The people of wetumplSa and of that section give 1t a loyal support. When the buildings were destroyed by lire last summer the citizeus ek the town and country made liberal tona- tions out ef their own pockets for the construction of the new buildings, but they could not be rebuilt to meet the demands of the school without aid from the State.
 The House Committee on Appropria- tions also reported favorably the bill for the relief of J. F. Herbert. a Con- federate soldier. Mir. Herbert had lost his pension through some technicaiity and the committee thought the Legis- lature ought to come to his rescue.

INDUCEMENTS
sapane.e yagEler at the Rlal..


 By long odds, the most commend able and interesting attraction that has yet appeared at the Auditorium Skating Rink is Kinzo, the Japanese fuegler, who gave his first perform ance last night.
 kinzo is worthy of more than casual mention. He is a remarkable clever juggIer on roller skates and 1t would not be stretching the imagination to say he presents the best show of its kind seen in Montgomery in many years. The feats which he performs, would do credit to a Juggler without the skates but to see Kinzo gracefully rolling over the floor of the Audito- rum and keeping his toys tossing and balancing in the air, Is quite a novel; ty He elicited general applause of approval at frequent intervals last night.
 Kinzo will remain in Montgomery throughout the week giving perform ances at the rink every night. He will give 'uatinees Wednesday, Friday and Saturday afternoons.
 The Mardi Gras carnival masqGe ball, which is to be held at the Rink, will take place Thursday evening. Feb- ruary II, instead of Tuesday evening.

BABY WASTED ID
 MERE SKELETON
In Torments a Year and a Half with Terrible Sores on Face and Body Hands Tied to Stop Scratching and Tearing at Flesh But
CURE BY CUTICURA
 COMPLETE AND SPEEDY

My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his facA. had a play. sician treat him. but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come on his arms, then on other parts Of his body. and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then called another physl- clan. Still he grew worse. At the end of about q year and . half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. So great was her faith in it that she gave me small piece of Cuticura Soap to try and . little Cuticura Ointment. 1 took 1t homo without any faith. but to please her l tried 1t, and it seemed to dry up the sores little. sent to the drug store and got cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. Ee has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my pre- cious chiid would have died from those terrible sores. used only one cake Of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

 stop was made at Cfaaton, where a physician of that pace bathed dressed and did what he could for tn. injured face and head. When the train reached Montgomery. the local surgeon of the Louisville and Nashville road met the injured man. and taking him to his office up town gave him surgi- cal attention.

SH! TIE POLICE now ACT
A Fugitive, in Disguise, Is Abroad
in the City.
But He Il Only n Plain Clothes Man,
Conducting Test of
Vigilance.

Within a few days Maj. Sylvester, su-
perintendent of the police, intends 10
start a novel scheme by which the eff
cheney Of the police force may be ascer-
tanned. One of the members OF the de-
tective force will be disguised 50 as to
resemble a full-fedged candidate for the
vagrancy class, and, bedecked in this
garb, will make nightly tours about the
city. He will l0iter in dOOrways sleep in
lumber yards, attempt 10 steal milk from
doorsteps and in every way follow out
the usual life of a tramp.
When pursued by a policeman he VIII
do his best 10 escape apprehension, and
II arrested will remain silent as to his
identity. His tours will start at mid
night and continue until daybreak When
once arrested the scheme viii be brought
to an end, and it Is probable THAI the
policeman making the catch will be re-
warded for his work
This scheme TO test the vigilance Of the
force was tried about five years ago and
worked successfully. Il Is probable a
man may be selected who is little known
to the force so that only by close ax-
animation his identity may be learned.
II necessary he Will be held at the sta
ton house for two or three days, and at
the end of that time. if the police "have
nothing on him." will present a paper
showing his real identity.
