Daughter Tells Story.

TheOdosia Crownover, the oldest girl
of Mrs. ThOmason, aged about IS, was
next called and in q clear and straight
forward manner told of the trouble.
Before retiring Wednesday night she
was fixing a skirt and her sister asked
her to make the bed. She told her sistei
to wait until she had finished work OH
the skirt as she was nearly through.
Her sister. a girl of about Ia, had gone
to bed and when she wanted her to get
up SO that she, Dosia, could fix the bed,
she refused as she was sleepy. They
had then quar- relied and Thomson told
Dosia to keep still or he would throw
her out. Thedosia replied that he
might if he could. but that she had paid
her board until the first of the week.
Thomascn then became angry and
rushed upon her, forcing her back into

Gave Child Chlorc,form.

He made the defense that the child
was suffering from some severe infan-
tile illness and ne gave it chlOrOform
to relieve it's distress. He was Mortified
a little later to find that 1t had been
given an overdose, from which it died.
He said he was afraid of the conS"-
ouences OF his carelessness, ana h
tried to conceal the body of the infan,
by depositing it in the bay.
| The radical testimony offered at tao
trial showed that the infant had been
drowned. Water was found in its lungs
tand the doctors who testified for the
prosecution were unanimous IN de-
claring that the child could not hav>
come to it's death by the use of chlOro-
form 1t was shown at the time that the
child was born seven months after the
marriage. and the prosecution endeaV-
orcd to show that both Paul and Nellie
Underwood made away with the infant
to conceal the fact that it had ever
been born.
Nellie Underwood is the daughter of
Mr.. William Weatherwax, reputable
citizen Of aberdeen, and he did not
know that his daughter was mother
until the discovery of the remains of
the child. She was never tried for the
; offense, ard she subsequently OBJ
tanned a divorce.

MILITARY MEN TO
 DISCUSS ARMORY

The Jefferson County National Guard association will hold its regular monthly meeting this afternoon at o'clock in the armory of Troop D at the city hall.
 At the meeting this afternoon reports will be heard from the committees ap- pointed at the last regular meeting to procure information as to the cost of ar mories which have been built fin other southern cities, to locate a probable site for the building which the local military companies propose to erect, to sketch plans and to approximate the cost of the building. The committees are expected to make definite reports and the movement for the armory will be launched in earn est.
 Birmingham is one of the very few cities of it's size in the south which has not a building exclusively for it's national guard, and the movement now in force is rapidly becoming a spirited one. Quite number of men of prominence are inter- ested and have pledged contributions, and the commissioned officers of the various companies have agreed to contribute 500 each.
 It is the plan of the national guard to construct a building which may be used both as an armory and public hall.
 It is probable that at the meeting this afternoon the national guard will discuss the new county amendment, to which the association as a whole is strongly op- posed

CLERKS MOURN
 WAR OFFICE CAT

London, October 3.-After 13 years or honorary service at the War Office, dur ing which his attention to duty was so unremitting that he never left the bulld- ing except at the time of the department removal from Pail Mall to Whitehall, one of the most devoted retainers of the Gov ernment has died of old age.
 His affable disposition endeared him to all who knew him, and the natural dig nity with which he was invested placed him on a footing of easy good-fellow- ship with the many persons of every rank with whom he came into daily con- tact. His name was Trilley, and he is described by those whom he has left to mourn his loss as a black and white cat of unusual size and thickness of coat.
 ''He never took to the new buildings" said an official at the War Office. He missed the dark passages of the old place where he could snuggle up against the pipes and sleep.
 "He was not on rations,' like the cats at the Post Office, who are allowed 30 cents a week for milk, but he lived well for all that. He couldn't be described as an active mouse-catcher-in fact he was generally so sleepy that the mice could come and play with his tail if they liked. But he was always very friendly to of ficers especially if they were generals. He would wait for them in the entrance hall and rub up against their legs as they went out"
 Trilley's body is to be stuffed.

The Salvation Army has issued the fol- lowing to the people of Birmingham with the heading, Shall the People Starve?'.
 This is a burning question just now, and the Salvation Army workers of Bir- mingham are earnestly engaged in their efforts to raise funds to enable them to go among the poorest of the poor and not only preach the gospel to them, but to carry with them the necessaries of life, to furnish medicine for the sick and cioth- ing for the naked. What are you going to do to help them in this great work? Can you content yourself in saying have coal enough to see me through the win ter and a bank account to draw on that will supply my other needs, and let the poor suffer? Or will you stop for a mo- ment and think what this means and then go over your account and see what you can spare for this noble cause? We have struggled through the past year and in the fear of God have done what we could to help the poor and relieve the suffering

Modern Hotel Keeping.

From the New York World.
 Sydney Smith said his idea of heaven was eating pate de foie gras to the sound of trumpets. The hotel epicure now finds an embarrassment of such heavens from which to choose. The city hotel has grown to be a combined art gallery, music hall and club casino, all the enjoy mefts of which are to be had for the price of a dinner The latter day rhine host is in sense the curator of nut scum, a connoisseur of curios, and an i'm presario who must provide for the amuse- ment of his patrons. It is no longer suf- fiicient to furnish guests with we'll cooked meal and a comfortable bed. Their higher senses must be appealed to. No feature of the development of the pala- tial hotel from the simple inn is more re- markable than it's evolution on the esthet- ic side.

John H. Atwood, in Success Magazine
 It is difficult to place just judgment upon any man; there are so many stand ards by which to measure. Napoleon was first in the field; Disraeli first in the cab met; others have conceived ideas or grandeur and beauty and placed them upon a page. Then, too, there is the sorcerer scientist who harnesses the in- tangible, let's you see through solids, and permits you to hear the voices of
