The mode in which that bulwark of
England's constitution. the habeas cor

able. So grave a historian as Bishop
Burnet relates that it was carried by
an odd artifice" Lords Grey and
Norris were named to be tellers. Lord
Norris, being man subject to vapors
was not at all times attentive to what
he was doing; sc, very fat lord COM
ing in, Lord Grey counted him for ten
as jest at first, but seeing that Lord
Norris had not observed it he went in
with his misreckoning of ten. so it was
reported to the house and declared that
they who were for the bill were in the

CFROM 1OOs) "CANCER" STATED CLINIC DOCTORS AFTER DIAGNOSIS
Remarkable Recovery of Elderly Woman From
 Supposed Fatal MaIadN.

The following remarkable statement by Patrolman George A. Lehnhoft, Sixty-fi precinct New York, Is made in connection with the much discussed medecines now being intro duced by L. T. Cooper in New York
 Patrolman Lehnhoff. when seen at headquarters, said: My mother. liv- ing at 986 Union Avenue, Bronx, N. Y., who is T years of age, has had catarrh of the stomach for ten years. The gas in her stomach pressed on her heart to such an extent that phy- sicians told her she had heart trouble.
 Her condition became so bad that she was taken to the polytechnical clinic on Thirty-fourth Street and was examined by a board of physicians. who diagnosed her case as cancer of the stomach.
 She heard of this Cooper medicine and asked me to get it for her, I was skeptical. however, and would not do so at first, but my mother insisted and finally got the treatment for her, although I did not believe anything could help her.
 She has taken the treatment and does not seem like the same woman. She no longer has any pain In her stomach, can eat anything. attends to her household duties and goes down. town whenever she feels like it. with no fear of being sent home in an am bulance.
 "The entire credit for this wonder full improvement In her Is due to this

medicine. It Is a marvel to me, as was sure her case was hopeless"
 In speaking of Patrolman Lehn- hoff's statement. Cooper said: It's quite possible that Mrs. Lehnhoff had symptoms of cancer. and this undoubt- edly caused an incorrect diagnosis. for l feel very confident that neither my medicine nor any medicine on earth would prove effective in a genuine case of cancer of the stomach.
 T often have people tell me that they nave been suffering with vari- ous organic diseases and that my medicine has restored them to health l do not argue the point with them but Cooper's New Discovery only regulates the digestive organs and couli have had no effect on such dis eases. l therefore know that they have mistaken a bad case of stomach trouble and general rundown condi- tion for the diseases they describe.
 A rundown, over-worked stomach will put the nervous system on edge In short order. and-nervous depres- sion follows. An individual in this condition Is very apt to imagine him self afflicted with many grave and complicated diseases when such is not the case

NEW TRACTION COMPANY
 LETTING BIG CONTRACTS

Improvements in the properties of the Montgomery Traction Company un- der the control of Richard Tillis are progressing steadily. Superintendent W. J. Ginnivan said yesterday that he hoped that just as soon as order was brought From chaos that the improved service would be noticeable.
 The work of laying heavy steel rail on Dexter Avenue from Court Square to Lawrence Street is under way, and VIII be completed in two weeks. Yes terday an order was given for eighty i've tons of steel rail which is tR be used on Dexter Avenue from Lawrence Street to the State Capitol. It is in- feresting to. know that the cost of steel rail in the market at the present time IS VA ton. and that the Traction company proposes to relay a great deal Of its tracks.
 The reorganization of the car com pany has brought to Montgomery number of men interested in the sale of street railway materials. Agents of car manufacturers, electric appli- ances. wire mills and others are here and have been in conference with MT. Tillis. While no definite statements have been made. it is understood that these men will go away with fat con- tracts in their pockets, and that the Montgomery public will get the bene- nts or a large amount of money that MT. Hills expects to expend In im- provements
 superintendent Ginnivan said yester- day that he had already arranged for tweive minute schedules on a mum Der Of the car lines instead of the old schedules of fifteen minutes.
 But, said MT. Ginnivan I've hope that the people will realize that we are right now in the midst of making Important Improvements, and the car service will be necessarily chaotic for awhile. We cannot, for exantple give good service with Dexter Avenue tracks torn up. Order will come after awhile and then we hope to meet with the an- proval of the public"
 Already several car routes Asva been changed. A notable improvement is the car service to the union railway station.
