Tuscaloosa, March 13.-(Special.) There
will be two new homes for Tuscaloosa
pastors in the near future. Sunday at the
morning service of the Presbyterian
church it was decided to begin at once the
erection of a new manse. Some time ago
the authorities thought best to sell the
present manse property and so advertised
its sale. However, this was later recalled
and the new ediice will be on the same
lot
A very unusual gift toward the erection
of this building was made by Luther
Maxwell, who subscribed 5000 of the
necessary amount himself The congrega-
ton in a few minutes raised something
over $4,000 more, so the building will be
about a $1,000 structure.
Considerable Improvement is also con-
templated in the present Sunday school
rooms, which are inadequate.
Plans are also being passed on by the
Baptist congregation for "A new pas
TO .ium to be erected on the corner of
Twenty-third avenue and Eighth street,
on the lot just east of the present pas
forum. The new rectory for the Episcopal
rector is just about completed. so that

soon be occupying very pretty and up
to-date residences.

prisoners at the county Jail quite a treat
Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Tinsley secured
one of Mr.. Hilbishs best monographs and
large number of fine records and rem
dered a concert in the Jail for the pris-
oners benefit. His thoughtfulness and
kindness in tho matter Wag very much
appreciated by the inmates, as they ex-
pressed themselves in no uncertain
fashion.
Dr. John Sauber, mystic doctor of
herbs and vegetable cures. proved him
self somewhat of high climber yester-
day afternoon, as the result of wager
Sauber climbed the frail ladder which
runs up the outside of the water tank
tower up TO the very top, a distance of
$40 feet The remarkable part of 1t was
that Sauber has only one leg, and the
fellow who was betting him probably
thought he had "A sure thing. However,
the doctor was game to the core and went
up the ladder about as well as two
legged man might have done
