OFFICIAL STATEMENT
 FROM POSTAL COMPANY

From the tone of telegram received by Manager w. A. Shepard of the Montgomery office of the Postal Tele- graph and Cable Company, yesterday , from Vice-President and General Man ager Nally, 1t appears that this com pany Is in excellent shape following the walkout of its operators and that the old employees are fast losing the op- portunity to go back to work.
 Manager Shepard said that so far as the Montgomery office Is concerned ev- erything Is moving along about as smoothly as it did before the strike.
 The telegram from General Manager NalIy is as follows:
 ''The statements being made by strike leaders that there are negotia- tions pending or influences at work, or pressure being brought to bear on the telegraph companies to bring about settlement of the strike through com promise or otherwise are untrue and their recurrence from day to day in one shape or another is simply for the sole purpose of misleading the men and buoyipg them up with false hopes which can never be realized.
 we consider the strike over, hence what is the need of further negotia- lions. I can only repeat what have reiterated before that we will deal with such of our old men who individ- ually apply for work so long as we have places for them, and as we are adding to our force by the employment of outsiders every day the longer our former employees delay putting in their appearance the less show they will have of getting back their old posi- tions."
 q say this sorrowfully, too, because there are many of our old men whom we have highly prized, but we cannot do justice to those who have stood by us to discharge any one of them in orr der to make place for a striker"

 Detectives discovered the village in which Kas was concealed. Six rural policemen armed with rifles were sent to effect the arrest, They broke into the hut where Kas was supposed to be in hiding, and found him in a coffin, dead.
 The villagers were ordered to bring a cart for the reufoval of the body. The priest protested against the sacrilege but the police replied that they were sent to arrest Kas, and not to certify to his death.
 The coffin was drawn on cart over thirty miles. On arriving at the rail road. the police received orders to go elsewhere: and afraid that the corpse might escape, duly incarcerated 1t in the county goal placed guard in the cell, and drew up a protocol declaring that they had rigidly executed their orders.

ADVANCE OF PRICES
ALL COMMODITIES HAVE IN
 CREASED RAPIDLY.
Clothing is Selling Twice as High as Two Years Ago, and Dealers Complain Margins Are
 Smaller.

Meat, meal, flour. canned goods, booze and all other commodities that have advanced have nothing on cloth ing of all kinds. Fabrics generally have advanced to such point that an ordinary suit of clothes is now worth as much as two were five years or even three years ago.
 Tailor-made clothes that cost $35 two years ago are now selling for $40 and s45. and tailors say that they are not making anything at that.
 "The price to the consumer has not advanced near as much as has the price of the raw material to the manu- facturer." said prominent local tailor yesterday. ''Consequentfy our margins of profits are cut a great deal smaller, and we have to invest considerably more money for great deal less prof It."
 Calico, sheeting and all class of cot ton goods have advanced considerably within the last week, until they are now at the highest point they have been since the reconstruction period. This is believed to be the direct result of the action of the Southern Cotton Associa ton in declaring for minimum of 15 cents for this years cotton crop,
 Worsteds of all kinds have advanced at the same ratio as have cotton goods. A prominent merchant said yesterday that he expected to see all cloths, wool ems and cottons alike. advance still fur ther.

STREET CAR PASSES
COUNCIL WILL TAKE UP SUBJECT
 AT TONIGHT's SESSION.
Transportation in Some Form Desired For Officials and Employees of City Over Traction Company
 Lfnea

In regular session the City Council will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the Council Chamber of the City Hall fol the consideration of some of the most important matters that have been be- fore the Aldermanic body in a number of months. Chief among the matters tc be considered in all probability, will be the action of the Montgomery Trac' ton Company In denying passes to thC various city departments.
 A communication from Mayor Teague in which he will advise that steps be taken to make a test case of the law will be read to the Aldermen, and will in all probability, go to the Judiciary Committee of the City Council for con sideration. An. accompanying opinion from City Attorney Pat Mcintyre, in which he will advise, 1t is understood that the law be tested at once, will also be read and go through the same chan nels as the Mayors communication
 The Aldermen with whom converse tion has been had on the matter arc very much In favor of having the law tested. They hold that the Traction Company is violating the contract un- dor which it's franchise was obtained when they fail to show the city de- partments the consideration which they claim to be due. Either passes or tick cts are called for under the contract made between the company and the city; the passes being denied. the con- tention might arise that tickets can be. given.
 The consideration of this matter will be the chief one of the day. All of the standing committees of the City Coun- ell will report, and it is expected that many street pavings and Improvements will be authorized.
 Tonight's meeting of the Council will draw to close it's two years work. No other regular meetings are scheduled for the month of September, inasmuch as tonight's session will represent the second regular meeting of the month the third Monday.
 On the first Monday in October. tho 9th of the month, the city fathers will pay their last respects to the city which they have represented the past two years. and at the next regular meeting after this the Aldermen now in authority will resign their seats to the Aldermen-elect the men who won the honor at the polls few months ago Accordingly. there will be one other regular session after tonights

D..n. Take. a Midnight Drive.
 Some peopIe apparently understand how to be unhappy grace1uiiy, as te were a kind of fine art. oon I U seems too bad to be true that snoulo be unhappy. and as if l must wake up xo find that 1t was only bad dream.
 suppose I've been spoiled good aeal ali my life. Everybody has been kind to me. and tried to do things for mv pleasure. just as I have for them; ana I have taken things for granted except, of coure. with Lisa. But Lisa is different--different from everyone NIse in the world I have never expect ed anything from her, as have from others. All wanted was to make her as happy as such poor, little piteous creature could be. and to teach myself never to mind anything that she might say or do.
 But Ivor--to be disappointed in him to be, made miserable by him! l diun know 1t was possible to suffer as l sur fered that day he went of and leIt me standing in the railway station. l dldn dream then of going to Paris. 1T any . , body had told me I would go, snou'o have said, NO. no. will not. And ye. I did. allowed myself to be persuaueu... 7. l tried to make myself think thsl ~ was to please Aunt Lillian; but down underneath knew all the time IL wasn't that, really. It was because couldn't bear to do the things I'm ac- customed to doing every day. l 1eiI as if I should cry, or scream, or oo sonle- thing ridiculous and awful unless there were a change of some sort-@ny change, but if possible some novelty ana excitement with people talking to me every minute.
 Perhaps, too, there was an attraction for me in the thought that l would pc in Paris while Ivor was there. Kept reminding myself on the boat and the train that nothing good could happen; that Ivor and I could never be as We had been before; that it was all over between us for ever and ever, ana through his fault. But there at the bot. tom was the thought that might have done him an injustice because he had begged me to trust him, and wouldn't Just uppose--something in myseif kepI on saying--hat we should by mere chance meet in Paris, and he should be able to prove that he hadn't come for Maxine de Renzie's sake! It would be too glorious I should begin to live again--for already I'd found out that life without loving and trusting lvor wasn't life at all.
 He couldn't think I had followed him even if he did see me in Paris. he- cause I would be with my Aunt and Uncle. and Lord Robert West; and Il made up my mind to be very nice to- Lord Bob much nicer than l ever mad been. if Ivor happened to run across us nnawares.
 Then that very thing did happen, in xhe strangest and most unexpected way, but instead of being happier for seeing him. I was ten times more unhappyl than before--for now the misery had no gIeam of hope shining through It's blackness.
 That was what told myself at first. But after we had met in the hall of the hotel, and Ivor had seemed confused, and wouldn't give up his mysterious arrangement, or say what 1t was, though doing at this minutew I whispered, half
