committed suicide Saturday afternoon

time, but the cartridge missed fire.

 Already there are symptoms that lead to the conclusion that the anti Taft followers in Alabama will get to- gether. It looks as If the oposing candidates will pool their interests and work solely for the defeat of the War Secretary, depending on being able to Afterwards divide the spells satis- factoriiy among themselves.
 Rumors of a corteiyou Cannon com bine taking part in an indirect way In State politics refuse to down.
 The Taft adherents are busy, but ap- parently are not worried about the out come. National Committeeman Charles Scott. Postmaster Barker at Mobile and J. o. Thompson. collector of inter nai revenue, are looked on to be able to corral the delegates as they have successfully done on previous occa- sions.
 Booker washington. who is supposed to have the negro vote In his pocket. is also behind the Taft boom.
 It Is expected that Frank Hitchcock, who has been placed in charge of Tafts campaign in the South, will be In Ala bama within the next thirty days. He Is understood to be making every preparation to come South and do some work in behalf of his candidate.

Maser steiner Ana N. ". stuart Bought Big Gay Lot Corner of

A desd filed with the Judge of Pro bate yesterday showed that one of the most important and desirable pieces Of property on Dexter Avenue pad changed hands, and there was a rufnor that immediate Improvements would be made. The new owners of the proper ty are Major R. D. Steiner and N. w. stuart. Mr. stuart in connection with L. D. Lewman and wife previously owned the property. Mir. stuart's snare being As-1o.
 By the transfer yesterday. the seven tenths belonging to Mr. Lewman and wife were transferred to Major steiner and Mir. Stuart, Major Steiner's share being five-tenths, thus making both half owners. The consideration paid was ss,ooo and the assumption by the amounting to e7,s00.
 That some very great improvement will Do made by the new owners is certain, but the nature of these im- provements will not be made public at the present time. One of the own CTS said yesterday that he was at present figuring and planning on cer- tain improvements, but did not care to make his intentions public until the whole scheme had been mapped out and all arrangements for their execu- ton.

THREE BEARS AND THREE
 HAIRY FRENCHMEN MAKE FUN

swell, I don't believe I have seen a bear since I was child" was the bromidic preface to the prominent cit lzen's few, well chosen remarks upon the advent of the two bears and the three bearers who came Into Montgom- cry. yesterday.
 The three bearers were made in France They looked like 1t. Whether he. was merely mustached, like the one that talked great deal and did almost nothing. or the possessor of q fnaknificent set of 2.600 or 2.70O whis- keEs like che one that collected much money ana gave bacx more taIk, or hlrsutely and conversationally stood midway between, those two. each of them was plainly raised ''outre mcr'' from our little point of view. Their whiskers and hats and clothes looked foreign, and pronabiy were.
 There was Ho douht of their having been born in France; they said so.
 The bears said and did very little. One of them was said to be a young grizzly, but he looked as If he might have been made in France. He was light in color, small in size. Still. he may grow to tho Ernest Thompson-se- ton Thompson Grace Seton Size. The other was of that spicy family known as the cinnamon. The two together looked like a very good meal.
 The populace was disappointed in the bears The bearers promised great things for them and collected comTnen- surate moneys from a notably generous crowd. One of the Frenchman wres- tied with the grizzly bear and after three exciting rounds won two. It was rumored that the bearer nearly always lost the first. won the second and the third fals. It happened that way yesterday and a local Van An-' berg who goes to ali the shows. after predicting what would happen, very refrained from saying that "I told. you so."
 It was promised that the bears would climb the electric light poles. and, like Mark Twain. when he offered the guide the price of a drink of vodka or pulqua or a pearl cocktail or whatever is the national anthem if he would leap head foremost from the top of the pyramid. everybody on the street shuddered with delectabIe anticipation of somebody getting hurt. But the ten dimes" de- raanded, though afforded, were counted too few and nothing was doing.
 Still the D. c. was awfully glad to see the bears-so picturesque with the k xeepers and all--that he had not seen since early childhood.

And being in the race. she is deter mined to do the best she can to win, as she thinks she can make as good use of the valuable prize as any one. should she be so fortunate as to secure it. She greatly appreciates the kindness that has been shown her by so many of her parents friends and hopes those who have not yet cashed in their subscrfp- tfons to The Advertiser in favor of any contestant will do so before the con- test Is over and give her the benefit of their votes, as she realizes that she has many powerful competitors to contend with and will need every vote she can get to win.
 Another Mofher,s Namesalke.
 It is an interesting coincidence that the two leaders in the contest are named for their mothers. Virginia Bragg Smith, who Is giving Sailie Wat kins Wood such -a close race for first honor is her mothers nanlesake, too. and further romantic interest attaches to this sweet little girl from the fact that her fathers name was Paul; thus she is the daughter of Paul and vir- ginia, reminding the readers of roman tic fiction of the beautiful love story of Paul and Virginia" Little virginia's father has been dead for four years so she is a hall orphan and knows not what st is to have loving father. She is dearly loved, however, by her mother and four young brothers. The latter say when they grow up and are old enough to vote, they are going to remember and vote for the men who voted for their little sister In order to help her to win a piano or an auto mobile. The late Paul Smith, virginia's father. was for many years in the am- ploy of the Atlantic Coast Line Rail- road. and at, the time of his death was engaged sn the Insurance business. Many of his former friends are helping little Virginia, as are also the surviv- ing friends of her maternal grand father. who was man of note in Ala bama, whom many of the present gem eration we'll remember
 There Are Others.
 Sosmuch for the young ladies who are Keeping in the limelight by 90 far out-distancing all their competitors in the early stages of the contest. The fact must not be lost sight of. how ever, that there are others in the race, and that it may not be long before Miss Wood and Miss Smith will cease to have things so much all their own way Others may occupy the center Of tfle stage sooner than they think, and the present heroines be crowded into the wings by the new stars that are just beginning to get their cues for the parts they are to play in the con test 'drama--a drama fraught with hu- man interest which will grow in ilh- tensity as the scenes are shifted from day ao day until the curtain falls upon the concluding act tssA : Among those moving toward the footiiShts and threatening to elbow

Tn Honor of Miss Fried.

Miss Mathilde Wolf entertained a number of her friends Tuesday after noon at her home on Broad street at a SaImagundi party in honor of Miss Lilly Fried, of Vicksburg. The color scheme. of red and green was attrac- lively in evidence in the decorations.
 The spacious parlor and library were beautifully decorated in palms, red carnations and red hearts. A canopy of red hearts was suspended between the two rooms. forming a pretty ef- feet Six tables. each designated by heart, told of the gasnes to be played. Those indulged in were hearts, euchre. lotto, wiiirl, dominoes and casino. The score cards were also red hearts.
 The first prize, a beautiful silver shoe horn, was won by Miss Ella Ea- gle. The visitors prize. a silver but ton hook, was won by Miss Saidee Meyer, of Mobile. The booby, a large red heart, on which was tiny pipe with the inscription, Smoke up,' was won by Miss Corinne Leva. and the guest of honor was presented with a bottle of perfume.
 After the games three course luncheon was served. and here the same idea of hearts was carried out

Miss Sallie Watkins Wood again has the high end of the board in the game of see-saw she is playing with little Miss Virginia Bragg Smith in the big prize contest of The Advertiser, which has now been in progress just fifteen days.
 Miss Woods friends rushed to her rescue yesterday when they saw that Miss Smith had for the second time gained first place, and before the count closed for the day, Miss Sallie had more than enough votes to restore her to the leadership, If the same game of see-saw Is to continue. little Virginia Bragg's friends will have to he as generous as the friends of Sal- lie Watkins, who never allow her to remain in second place for more, than one day. A short while ago when Virginia had the grippe. it was re- marked that somebody paid sub scription in her favor every time she sneezed. She will have to sneeze hard and often today to get ahead of her popular rival again.
 Beloved Physician's Daughter.
 The contest manager has been re- peated1y asked whether Sallie Watkins Wood is related to the beloved Dr. M. L. Wood, for many years one Of the most popular and successful physicians of Montgomery, and who at present is in sanitartum at Cincinnati re- cuperating from a nervous breakdown brought on by overworlx in ministering to the sick and afflicted. The Advef- tiser Is pleased to announce that Miss sallie Watkins is the beloved physi- clans youngest daughter and that she inherits the splendid qualities of heart and mind which have endeared her dis- tInguished father to so many families whose comforter he has been in times of sickness and trouble.
 Miss Wood was ehristened Salts Watkins as the namesake of her motn- CT. who came from one of the fine ola families of Petersburg. Va. mus through both of her parents she has q hirtAriQalt that any Southern girl may Dc proud of. It Is not surprising, therefore, that she is so general O. Ia yorite among those who know her or her people. Many who do not person. ally know Miss Saliie are eager 10 see her succeed in the contest on her pa rents account. Those who do know her are iuet as enthusiastic to see her succeed on account of her own peculiar merits. Her personality is one that commands the love and adoration of all who know her, which accounts in large measure for the encouragement she ss receiving sn her endeavor to win nrst prize in The Advertiser contest.
 Although shrinking from notortety ar fuisome praise, this modest young lady. who is just budding into woman hood, yielded to the urging of one of her fathers staunch friends to enter the contest with a view to winning the S1,N00 automobile which The Ad-. vertiser is offering as a prize to the person most favored by its subscribers.
