Record Broken; Councils
 Session Only 3 Minutes Long

The City Council held a three-min- ute meeting yesterday afternoon for the consideration of bids for the city's supply of lump coal. The contract for supplying the commodity was award ed to the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company. a short time ago the suc- cessful bidders for the city's supply of steam coal. The contract price was S2.25 per ton.
 Strong aversion to special meetings appears to animate many of the alder men of Montgomery. Despite the fact that the meeting yesterday afternoon was the second called for consideration of the subject of coal supply, three quarters of an hour was consumed in waiting for the arrival of the sew eral members of the council necessary to constitute a quorum. The preceding day a futile walt of one and half hours was indulged in. the quorum at the end of that period being non- existent. s-

INTERESTING POINT RAISED IN
 CITY, COURT.
It is Charged that the Sam Will John Act Violates the ni1I of Rights of the state Goa
 nfffmatnm

That the sam win John pistol hw is unconstitutional and in direct yto- lation of Section ee of the Bill of Rights was argued on Friday evening before Judge Thomas in the criminal division of the City Court In the case of Rosa Browdy. with the result that the jury in the matter returned after an all-night deliberation, failing to agree upon verdict. The case was, therefore. set for a rehearing on Aug 21.
 Attorney for the defense demurred to the indictment found against his client on the grounds that the Sam Will John act specifically forbids the carry ing of arms under a certain length, while Section 2e of the Bill of Rights expressly states that all citizens shall have the right to carry arms with no specifications attached to the character of the arm carried.
 The jury in the case took the matter under consideration late on Friday evening. and after staying in their box all night. reported to the court at 10.So o'clock yesterday morning that they

The Gentle Rain Of Yesterday Ia Ts
 Be Repeated.

Re Repeated.
 Again 1t rained. but on yesterday afternoon there was no wind and rain storm to cause damage to citizens of Montgomery. A gentle. springlike rain fell for an hour causing the heated streets to be pleasant although a little sloppy for a short while. The clouds fingered all of the afternoon that the streets might not be steamy after the shower.
 The precipitation yesterday afternoon was not great, but the little shower undoubtedly did a great deal of good to truck gardeners in and about the city, as gentle rain has been needed for some time.
 The prediction of the weather bureau for today's weather states that local showers aud local cloudiness will again prevail over Montgomery. A high area stretches from the Gulf through the Mississippi valley to Mich igan, while the high area % long sta. tionary over the Atlantic Coast disan- peared across the water.

CLEVELAND'S ILLNESS
No Positive Denial That His Condition
Is Critical.

Is Critical.
New York. May 2. = CONSIDERABLE
anxiety was occasioned by widely cir,
culated rumors that the condition OF
ax-President Grover Cleveland, VINO
has been i'll for several weeks at
hotel in Lakewood, N. j., had assumed
grave phase and that slight hopes
we're entertained for his recovery.
The Evening World gave prominence
to reports current at the offices OF the
Equitable Life Assurance society. OF
which Mr. Cleveland is voting trus-
tee. that the former presidents physl-
clans had diagnosed his illness as
cancer of the stomach and had decld-
ed that there was no hope OF their
DISTINGUISHED patients recovery.
Positive denial of these statements
was not obtainable. DR.. Joseph ID.
BRYANT. who has attended Mr.. Cleve-
land for years, said that his patient
was all right" and that all his re-
ports from Lakewood were favorable.
In answer to a question as to whether
Mr.. Cleveland was suffering from
cancer of the stomach, Dr. Bryant said
that as a physician he could not make
public the diagnosis in the case OF
any of his patients. Any information
on such a subject, were it to be given
to the public, should come from the
family, he said.
Some of the friends of the former
president, who have seen Mrs. CleVe-
land, say that she has told the that
there is nothing serious the matter
with Mr.. Cleveland, but they add that
she appears much worried regarding
her husbands condition.

Drudaes and Others Who Seek Only
Good Time.
Washington, May 3. - President
Roosevelt expressed his views regard
ing working women's clubs in address
ing 800 New England women who
make their own living and who are in
Washington sightseeing. The visitors
are members of the National League
of Women Workers. Both the Presl-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt gave cordial
greeting to the workers. and shook
hands with them. The president ad-
dressed them as follows:
1T is a very real pleasure 10 greet
you. l often meet delegations here in
the east room of the White House;
all of them / am very glad to see; and
| can say with entire truth that there
is none that come here which | could

people that we SHOULD be abe t.

organizations OF men, | am eVen more
interested when they are managed by

ed to point out what in my jul 5ment
was the fundamental difference be-
tween the United States and any
European country, even the most al
vanced. | should say that the funda-
mental difference In our favor was the
different attitude taken here toward
women; the greater chance that the
woman has for combining with life
of duty the chance Of self-;mprove-
ment.
"Of course in any movement for
betterment there are always dangers.

as an adjunct to the club. instead OF
the club being an adjunct to his life:
| suppose there are occasional IN
stances OF this kind in the women s
clubs. In any movement it is always
a little difficult to combine the two
principles of doing your wcfk well.
and yet of having as good time as is
compatible with doing your work.
There are always a certain number
of people who never try to be any
thing but drudges; and certain num-
Der of others who make hav ng good

think these working women's clubs
strike the happy medium as we'll as,

them here today. and l wish you all
