The case Is one that has attracted much interest, involving new ques- tions of proprietorship. as it does. and not little feeling has been displayed by those who believe that the location of the depot has retarded the progress of their property values.
 During the morning session of the court the Mobile tax case was also argued. This is . case in which att torneys in Mobile County appeal for a decision granting them the right to receive larger fees for the sale of lands than is now allowed by the lower courts. Several of the most prominen members of the Mobile bar were pres ent to present the side of the attor- neys.

This case was brought from the Limestone Circuit Court. and involves the collection of poll tax from man who becomes 45 years of age before the law providing for the collection of poll taxes Is passed The lower court decided that he was liable. and this decision was affirmed by the Su- preme Court.

PLACE FOR BAXTER

If the Mobile delegates to the Cotton States League are quoted correctly there is a chance that Mobile will not be in the Southern League in 1903 af- they will not submit to be held up and rather than be sandbagged for the $250O will stay in the Cotton States in 1908.
 The chances are that all this talk is more hot air thaIS anything else and clubs of the Southern League next season. The following. however ap-
 "Messrs. Harry T. Hartwell and Charles 7. Colsson returned from Gulf port on the midnight train last night and say that the meeting of the di- rectors of the Cotton States League at that place yesterday was not con- ducted in a regular manner. They do not appear to be overjoyed at the ele- vation of Arthur Crowder of Jackson 10 the presidency of the League.
 The representatives say that the Mo bile representatives will not pay the $2,50O demanded of them by the League, and that rather than do so the hope to get into the Southern League will be entirely abandoned and Mobile will return to the Cotton states fold, where, they admit they know they are not wanted. The sitaution, according to them. does not appear to have been strengthened out in the least"

Alabama's Supreme Court had a busy day yesterday, in addition to handing down large number of decisions that members of the tribunal have been busily engaged on for some time.

 The original contention, which was decided by the City Court of Mont gomery County. was that the railroad company had no right to build a depot there.

Santa Claus Letters Ask
For Dolls and TeddU Bears,
Oo-CdTtS, and Soldier Suits

judging from the number of letters
directed TO Santa Claus In care OF The
washington Times, comparatively few
christmas missives are going up the
chimney this year. Thousands have
found their way to the Dead Letter Of
nee of the Postoffice and will never be
opened.
Those addressed in care of The Times
have been opened and read with much
interest Each missive appears to have
been laboriously penned by the little
tots, and the writer's have their own
way Of approaching old St. Nick.
The letters received today follow:
Dear Santa Claus:
Please bring me a soldiers regala,
and top. horn. and a box OF paints.
and a pair of yarn gloves. and a cap

bearing skates. II you please try and

For the Amateur COOK

When boiling vegetables. be sure the
water is at the boiling point before put
ting the vegetables I'm it. If it IS cold
CT lukewarm the freshness and SAVIOR
of the food will leak out into the value
less surrounding water. Place the sauce
pan over the hottest part of the stove,
so that it viii boil as quickly as pos
sible, and he careful that the boiling
does not cease until the contents are
thoroughly cooked and about to be re-
moved.
One of the best plans for ascertaining
whether a cake has been cooked long
enough IS TO insert very lightly in the
center a common wooden skewer such
as butchers use for meat II Il comes
out clean and dry. the cake is done; IT,,
on the other hand, the skeWer is sticky,
the cake needs a little more cooking.
1t Is useful TO remember that after
the water has been strained off pota-
toes, they should be given three or four
sharp jerks 50 as TO toss the potatoes.
This has the effect Of making them
white and floury.
Here are two hints. that, while they
do not strictly relate TO cooking, yet
come within the cooks province: Milk
that has slightly turned may be sweet
ened and rendered fit for further use by
stirring in a little soda.

Invariably the yell should harmonize
with the color OF the hat though dark
gray and golden brown are fashionable
shades that may be worn with almost
any colored hat.
The smartest driving veil Is OF ivy
green chiffon. with tucked or hem
stitched border. and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
flying ends.
While this shade IS best suited for
the eyes. II also has the advantage
over other shades that II harmonizes
with almost any color.
Complexion wells are clamoring for
recognition again. but II IS doubtful
II they viii be accepted by the multi
tude.
Those who have adopted them are
wearing coarse black meshes with white
threads running IN the opposite direc-
ton from the heavy threads.
Instead OF barely covering the nose.
as formerly, the complexion veil now
reaches % the chin. where Il is re-
tanned by group Of fine gathers

Care Of a Burnt Saucepan

Unless absolutely necessary DO not
scrape a burnt saucepan; ill Il with
cold water, in which a little piece OF
washing soap has been put. and let IL
boil slowly on the Jack Of the stove
until the water IS almost boiled away.
Refill and boil again. Then clean with
a sOod kitchen soap and a stiff scrub
bling brush.
All clearing Of saucepans should lie
very thorough. Not only is careless
ness In this respect unpleasant to think
Of, but IL ia the small particles OF grease
left On the bottom or sides that cause
sticking the next time the pan is in use.
