The evening was gloomy and dark
and chill rain was falling. All along
the coast the fog horns were sounding
and melancholy night mooing of cows
bereft OF their young.
But in the little sitting room of
the hotel which Charles Garth had
secured for his wife, everything
seemed bright and cheerful. 1t was
six o'clock. The table was laid for
light meal. In the middle OF the room,
like a warm heart, radiating cheerful
ness and comfort, was small stove,
brightly burning, while near to 1t, on

and, growing and cooling. it was bliss

blaze.
The young manager, who seemed
very much elated, was explaining to
his wife, the quarrel of the morning
which lay on the table. Ii was the
offer of the management of small
theater in San Francisco, and meant

home and comfortable income.

thing else"
Charles Garth bent over and kissed
his wife the quarrel Of the morning
forgotten. He took from her the child
and tossed it to the ceiling In his
glee, much to its mothers alarm and
its own huge delight. Settling 1t in
his arms, he began talking baby talk
the little one smiling and dimpling
all over as 1t returned cooling answers
II was a beautiful child and its bright
dark eyes, fixed on its fathers face
beamed with unusual intelligence.
The mother watched the pair proud

remembrance OF a promise she had
made that afternoon-a promise
which, II confessed to her husband
she would be obliged to break. II full

60 AFTER CHARTERS
 OF SOCIAL CLUBS

Attorney General Alex M. Garber, through local attorneys is, on behalf of the state of Alabama, now after cer- tain of the alleged social and liter ary clubs" Mandamus proceedings were filed in the circuit court yester- day seeking to have the charters of the Colonial and Hermitage clubs forfeited. It will be recalled that it was these two clubs from which the greater part of the S4000 stock of liquor was taken by Sheriff Higdon about 10 days ago.
 The writs filed yesterday set forth the fact that the clubs, as their char ters show, were organized for social and literary purposes, but in fact the business engaged in by the clubs has been and is that of selling or other wise disposing of liquors contrary to the laws of the state. It is averred that the clubs have abused and misused tn cir franchises and priveleges in that they have habitually and continually violated the prohibition law ito the in jury of the public, and against the peace and dignity of the state of Ala bama, by reason of which they have forfeited their charters and thei right to exist as corporations"
 It is petitioned in the writ that the parties managing the clubs be called upon to show by what right or authori- ty the clubs now exist and that judg- ment may be entered in the cause de- claring a forfeiture of the charters and franchises and a dissolution thereof upon the ground that the clubs have continually violated the prohibition law and have therefore forfeited their charters.
 The proceedings will probably be heard this week before either Judge Lane or Judge Coleman.

ficers He thought no other solution possl Ia.
 It was suggested that the decision of the oart of appeals left things in mud dle as they were before.
 No" said Judge Jones, '.the court of appeals has decided what 1 think few ever seriously questioned, that Congress did not intend to create a sole judge by the Clayton act, but simply to put another judge in the Northern district to work with the judge already there. True" he added "the court of appeals decided that these two judges had equal authority in all matters, and that either, when holding the bankruptcy court, could appoint or remove a referee without reference to the wishes of the other judge, and for aught other courts could do, keep it up in- definitely; but the court also pointed out the rules of comity and law which should govern the exercise of such power by different judges.
 "Besldes,e Judge Jones added judges are responsible to public opinion, and finally to the House of Representatives and the Senate for the mode in which they exercise authority. Now that the question which really lay at the bottom of the difference-whether the judge of the Northern and Middle districts is still a judge of the Northern district-has been settled, 1t is but just to the judge of the Northern district to believe that he will not claim or expect the judge of the Northern and Middle districts to yield him the sole control of the appointment of referees and that the former disagreeable situation will now settle itself in an ami cable way

Montgomery, December 5.-(Speeial)- Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Northern and Middle districts of Alabama of the United States court, will hold a special term at Birmingham beginning Monday morning next. Judge William B. Sheperd of Florida had been designated by Judge Pardee to sit. but he was notified by Judge Jones today that it would not be necessary for him to come. The docket will likely take up a couple of weeks.
 The adjourned May term of the Middle district court was ended today, the docket having been completed. The Dothan court will not be held until some time in January there being only one unimpor- tant case on the law docket and no crim- inal as no session of the grand jury has been held. It is quite likely that the judge will devote the greater part of January to the equity docket in Montgom- cry
 Judge Jones was asked if there would be any startling developments in the ref cree cases in Birmingham. He replied
 This is a delicate matter for a judge to talk about to a newspaper man." However as good deal of public interest has been worked up or the subject he thought it not nm roper to say that he believed since the court of appeals decision that the matter would be amicably settbed giv- ing -ach judge his due power and equal share in the administration of the North ern district and the appointment of it's of

Son of Revolutionary War Veteran Says Best
 For Nervous Depression

'sFor many years, like an old land mark, have seen your familiar trade mark in the papers. It attracted my attention finally, and I wish to say that I made test of your product and find it an extremely fine article. It is really pure, as you say, not over stimu- lant and very pleasant to take. It pro- duces no unpleasant after effects. Be- cause of it's excellent qualities you ought to have large sale of it. It is an invaluable remedy in those days when our mode of living is so consti- tuted that the nervous system is con tinually under strain, due to various causes, such as business depression and excitement. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is just the right thing to hep out under such conditions.

will find the report of the club officers for the month of November, 1908.
 The rooms are used by an ever increas- ing number of boys. The game room and reading rooms have been kept busy every day. The dormitory was used by 43 boys during the month. On the night of the national election 32 different boys stayed all night at the rooms. On this occasion there was not enough room in the dormitory and the boys rolled up in blankets and used the floors,
 Six homeless boys have been cared for In these cases we furnish them food and a temporary home and find work for them where we can Four have been placed in good positions.
 Two suits of clothing have been given out. Two trips have been taken out of the city looking after the interest of those committed to our care, one to Memphis, Tenn, and one to Camp Hill, Ala.
 The work on the streets is being kept up with good results. At least twice daily the boys are visited in their places of play and where they sell papers and in this way they are kept in close touch with us.
 The juvenile court cases have kept the DrODat1On OH1cer busy. lH6 nuiHpcr oi arrests has been less by 40 per cent than last year, but as the people learn that Judge Feagin and his probation assistants stand ready and willing to advise and assist in managing the way ward boys and girls, the calls upon them increase Right here, let me urge upon the women of the board and all those who may read this report, to report all cases of homeless and stray lads direct to the club headquarters, that we may be able to look them up. There was a homeless. wandering, splendid looking boy killed this week in the city while sleeping on a railroad track.

 Another motion that the attorneys representing the men be furnished the names of the witnesses who would be called to testify will be argued Monday and will be vigorously resisted by the state. While the prosecution will an nounee themselves as ready for trial Monday afternoon the actual trials of the men will probably not begin until the middle of the week as the dis posing of routine matters in connection with the closing of the special term of court which ended today and the organization of the new term which will begin Monday will occupy several days. Three men, who have been con fined in the military barracks here for the past 30 days, John Cothran, Tom Terrell and Howard Hicks, charged with implication in the night rider raids, were released today, no evidence having been found which would justify their continued incarceration.

The work on MT. Busbys air driven engine is progressing nicely and his ma chinist informs him that he will be ready for a demonstration within 10 days. Now the attention of the public is called to the golden opportunity that is offered by MT. Busby's company in offering limited number of shares of stock at the very low price of $2 per share. Everyone who is familiar with the cost of power will un- derstand readily that this stock will be worth many times what is being asked for it. Persons interested in this stock will have to act promptly if they wish to get it at the present price. Many of Birmingham business men are rushing for this stock. The company has on exhi- ton at the office, POPS First avenue, a small model of the engine which they will be pleased to show to those who call on them.
