1t is curious to note with what
indifference this country awaits the
approach of the inevitable annual
calamity of the 4th July. There
is no doubt whatever that when

are compiled from nespaper reports
and though the casualties are not
exactly correct, it is sufficient to
show wonderful fatality coming
from the reckless manner of cele.
brating the natal day. The sta.

were killed and 22,529 were in.

injury is only given in these fig.
ures, but contains some idea of the
great waste of money in promoting
these noisy demonstrations, and o.
the suffering both mental and phys
ieal consequent upon the orgies or
our natal day. Such reckless de.

What the Boy is Coming To

When I was a boy, 1 carried
nearly all the water used by the
family in buckets, from a cold
spring about 400 yards from the
house. Nowadays when there is a
faucet in his bedroom, the average
boy has to call niger in the room
to turn on the water. This is a
great day of development. Tt won't
be long until a servant will have
to sponge off the young boys face
with a tepid water, and then feed
him with a squirt gun so as to save
him the trouble of swallowing his
matted milk and injuring hs voice.

 Package.

Sheffield, December 25.-(Special.)- Numerous patients of "Dr." H. H. Ha- den, palmist, mind reader. clairvoyant etc, are anxious to learn his whereabouts and incidentally to recover some of the money advanced him for cures which he failed to perform. The doctor with his wife and child came here several weeks ago and by liberal advertising soon secured large clientele.
 He secured sums in advance ranging from s10 to $500, 1t is alleged, telling the parties not to mention the fact as it would interfere with the cures. Thurs day the doctors wife and child left for Decatur, carrying practically all the fam fly baggage with them. Saturday he followed them, leaving small satchel. which is said to contain valuable articles. with his landlady and telling her to con tinue appointments for him as he ex- pected to return Sunday afternoon. When he failed to retun Sunday and day after day passed, the landlady finnaly opened the valuable" satchel to find it con tained some empty whis<ey bottles.
 When it became apparent that the doc tor would not return the police and sher- if were notified by his victims and charges of obtaining money under false pretenses were preferred against him. The officers are following up every clue to discover his hiding place with a view to bringing him back to Sheffield.

PASSENGERS HAVE
 NARROW ESCAPE
COACHES ATTACHED TO < LONG TRAIN OF FREIGHT CARS LEAVE TRACK NEAR cARRoLLToN CROWDED WITH PASSENGERS.

Aliceville. December 25-( (specia1)- Passengers over the A. T. & N. rail- road narrowly escaped being overturned at Owens Switch, a few miles above Carrollton yesterday and it was only averted by the thoughtfulness of ex- Conductor T. s. spraggins, father-in-law of Dr. H. B. Upchurch. at Carrollton, who threw the emergency on when the coaches had left the rails. Conductor Sumner was in the front of the train and could not reach the lever in time to stop the train and as there is no the emergency valve and hand signals on account of numerous intervening cars of freight, tAs accident narrowly escaped being a serious one.
 The train was loaded with women and children who had made it possible for the men to secure seats only in the smoker which was also crowded. Parties who were on the train say that sev- eral rail lengths were spanned before the train was checked and the engineer seemed not to have been aware of any trouble until the emergency was used, which broke the coaches loose from the train. He immediately applied the air, stopping as soon as possible.
 The cause is not known but it is generally thought that the accident was caused by the recent rain softening the ground and the track spreading. Only the coaches were damaged to a very great extent and crew worked on the wreck last night, clearing for the trip this morning.
