We are often criticised when one of our lecturers makes the statement that a positive guarantee is given with every bottle of Plant Juice and only about a month ago while in the city on busi- ness trip I came here on the lot and stood out in the audience while my as sistant, Mr Mills, was giving his lecture.
 When he made the statement that T guarantee went with every bottle, one of two prominent business men, who happened to be standing near me. said to the other: "l wonder if he would give such a guarantee| To that business man-and l saw him in the audience as l was mak- ing my way to the platform-I wish to say, that we do and will make such a guarantee. You may consult Bradstreet's Dun's or any banking institution of this city. and they would not tell you my rating, but I'm here to prove that l can make good every word l say" Turning to an assistant. he said, "Give me some money"
 How much?' was the reply.
 "Oh, a few dollars" came the answer.
 Immediately Colonel Dillingham's as- sstant pulled out packages of green backs and bag after bag of silver, the latter being opened and spread over the platform. burylng the floor several inches deep. The expressions of marvellous sur prise can only be appreciated by those Who were present
 Walking over the money as if 1t were so much dirt, Colonel Dillingham; sud- denly reached down and began to throw it out into the crowd by handfuls. This continued for several minutes, during which time the people in the audience fought like madmen for the coins. en- dangering each others life and limb. The wild scramble for the silver brought re- peated appeals from prominent citizens to the Colonel to stop. It was some time before these appeals. which had by this time become almost agonizing reached the colonels ears and when he learned it's cause he ceased his lavish gifts with evident reluctance
 This, he stated to his audience saying. that had 1t not been for the prominence of the citizens making the appeal and the appalling accidents that might result from his throwing away money, he would have continued on until all the money fin sight had been disposed of.
 With few more remarks, thanking the people of Birmingham and adjoining dis triets for the kindly manner in which they had received him. Colonel Dlllng- ham bade his audience good night"
 Mir. Mills then again resumed the lee ture platform, continuing his discourse on Plant Juice remedies, after which the members of the company concluded their performance and the audience went home happy.

THE SITUATION
 IS COMPLICATED

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)  mingham has made the announcement that he would not run at all Is taken to mean that the administration has no fa- vorite.
 Another Primary Suggested.
 A man we'll versed in Alabama politics and a believer in the selection of the United States senators by direct vote of the people said today: "The legislature ought to meet next month, have caucus on the senatorial question, ask the state committee to call meeting, provide for a primary the first week in October, and then adjourn to November for what busi- ness iS yet to be transacted
 At this primary the talker thought the people would have the say so as to who should be elected for the term, which is practically the entire term, and tho legislature would have time then to elect him and take care of the work yet to be done besides. He believed that this would be the best way out.
 On the other hand, there are those who believe that t<Hs sentiment was brought out in the vote for Johnston and Bank head and that they are, to all intents and purposes the choice of the people, the Fayette man coming first in the in- dorsement and at this time in line for the honor. Some sort of statement is awaited from the governor with much interest.

 In General Sierra s. army are two young Americans, aged respectively 2 and 26. They are from New Orleans and are paid by Ielaya, who has colonels commanding the two respective regiments of this eA- petition. One of the young men is said to have attended West Point.
 Today at the state department ,the news of the capture of Acajutla was of ficially confirmed. There it was claimed that the treaty of Amapaa was inopera- tive inasmuch as formal notifications be- tween Nicaragua and Salvador had never been exchanged. Sub-secretary Algara said Mexico's attitude would be that of neutral unless circumstances demanded otherwise
 Meanwhile the Guatemalan question Will remain at a standstil, so far as the gov ernment Is concerned. Mexico will await the outcome of the present trouble ln Central America.
 Tomorrow Dr. Jose De Dolores Gamez, minister of foreign affairs in the cabines of President Zelaya of Nicaragua, and
  general in New Orleans, will confer with President Diaz. These two gentlemen arrived in this capital today but were unable to obtain audience with the president, although they will be received tomorrow afternoon. They refused to dis close the nature of their mission when seen tonight.
 New Orleans, June 12.-That there is a plan to attack San Salvador with three divisions of fighting men is indicated in reports received here from Honduras. The Nicaraguan general, Sierra, who is to lead one of the forces, was only a few days ago stationed at a point in Honduras near the Salvador border
 There are several New Orleans men in the Central American armies, some of whom have seen service for the United States, but no West Pointers are recalled. During the recent fighting in Honduras two American "colonels' in the Nicara- guan army complained to friends here that their pay was but $2 per day.

Sensational Crisis in Murder Trial Is
Reached Judge Fitzgerald
Halls the Proceedings.

New York. March 2I.-The blow
which Harry X. Thaw has been in ter
ror OF ever since his trial for the mur
der OF Stanford White began, fell
Wednesday. District Attorney Jerome
did not make formal application for
the appointment OF commission in
lunacy, but in an impassoned speech
he appealed to the conscience of the
court asserting that Thaw as he sits
daily In court Is unable intelligently
to advise his counsel and is believed
by every one who has watched and
come into contact with him to be in.
sane.
Mr.. Jerome stated that his own
alienists-the six men who testified
for the state-.were convinced when
they had considered all the facts in
connection with the case that Thaw
was of unsound mind. Mr.. Jerome
dramatically accused the counsel for
the defense OF concealing testimony
which, If presented to the court,
would make the continuance of the
trial crime. So earnestly did he
plead that Justice Fitzgerald dis.
missed the jury until Friday morning
and adjourned court until 2 o'clock
this afternoon when he will consider
whatever evidence either side has to
offer and decide whether the trial shall
go on, or whittier commission in
lunacy shall be appointed to pass up.
on Thaw's present condition.
The scenes attending the adjourn.
ment OF court were dramatic. Thaw's
counsel seemed taken utterly by sur,
prise. Yesterday was expected to be
the last day Of the trial except for the
summing up before the jury Soon
after the three-cornered discussion be
tween Justice Fitzgerald, District At
torney Jerome and Mr.. Delmas began
Thaw's five other attorneys gathered
around the judges desk and for o
time seemed intent upon denying
what the court had termed the
charges OF unprofessional conduct
brought against them by the prose.
cutting officer. Thaw, detected, sat
desel ted at his counsel table.
Justice Fitzgerald even went so far
az TO discuss the personnel OF a posi-
BILE commission in lunacy. He said he
did not wish to appoint any alienists
who had been consulted In the case
by either side, and desired to be given
the names Of every doctor so consult
should submit affidavits to-day.
Mr.. Delmas said last night that un
til the trial was resumed he would
have no connection with the case. Mr.
