COUNCIL HOLDS
 FINAL SESSION Present Organization Retires At Midnight. BUSY TIME IS ANTICIPATED Important Business Scheduled to Come up For Consideration. Two Aldermen Go Out of office and the same Number of New Mem-
 her. wn Take Their Seats.
 Record of. Year.
BUSY TIME IS ANTICIPATED

The present City Council holds Its final meeting tonight and as has been the custom in the past all business before the body will be disposed of before an adjournment will be taken since it is. desirable to leave. a clean
 slate for the incoming council. The retiring council leaves behind it a record for Improvements inaugu- | rated during its life. More paving of
 both streets and sidewalks has been
 done in the life of the present council than during the tenure of any former council.
 The new city wharf about to be
 built is creation of the retiring council and will cost. when completed.
 about $10,000. It will afford ample wharf facilities for any traffic on the river at this port for many years to come.
 The council will sit until midnight and then the new members. Aldermen F. M. Letcher and John M. Burch, will be sworn in while two of the present members will retire. They are: Aldermen Berto Johnson and H. H. Kinds. Alderman Virgin will be
 sworn in as president of the coun- cil.
 The new council will have but fif- teen fIGulpeTS dkdiHSt ctfGntccH dS formerly. The reduction of member
 ship is due to a recently enacted law
 providing for but one alderman at large instead of three.
 Many matters of importance to
 Montgomery will be. taken up and dis posed of at tQnight's meeting. A proposition from Hunt and Cush- man, bond buyers of Boston, to lend the city the necessary funds for the Lawrence street paving work will be laid before the council and an effort
 will be made to have favorable ac- ton taken on it. Mayor-elect Gaston Gunter said last night that the propo-
 sition from Hunt and Cushman Is at tractive and the city would save mon- ey by accepting it.
 Hunt and Cushman were awarded the recently annulled bond issue of
 $50,0 for the Lawrence street work.
 If their proposition is accepted by the council. the work of paving Lawrence street will be started within ten days.
 The ordinance creating the office of city physician will be reported by the committee to which it was referred and is expected to pass the council as
 is also the measure creating the of flee of city back tax collector.
 The fire and water works committees which have, been investiGatfng the charges presented to the Mayor and council by Fire Chief Browder regard ing defective hose and a dead fire plug that interfered with the effec-s tiveness of the fire department at the Sellers and Drum fire. will make their report tonight.
 It is said that this report will be. adverse to Chief Browder in every phase of the questions investigated. The report will find that the hose said to have burst at the fire did not burst but was cut by knife. Re- garding the dead plug, the report will say Chief Browder did not notify the North Montgomery station, of the con- dition of this plug.

HER LIFE
 A BURDEN Now Lady Says She Would Not Be Placed Back Where She Was
 For Whole World.

Ratcliff, Texas.-"Two years ago, my health was very bad" writes Mrs. Matte Campbell, of this place. '.---'
 q suffered untold misery every month. It is useless to say where; my worst aches were, for I ached all over every month.
 "At times l wished for death to end my suffering. for life was a burden to me.
 "FinalIy I decided to take Cardui. First I tried one bottle, and it helped me so much I ordered $500 worth. I took the six bottles, which kept me in fine health for one year and saved a large doctors bill.
 .nI took six more bottles and can now say that twelve bottles of Cardui have stonped my suffering, made life worth living and filled my home with joy and happiness.
 q would not be placed back like I was two years ago, not TOT tnis Wnoie world rolled at my feet.
 "Your wonderful medicine. Cardui, has my praise for all It's great. works, and do wish that every suffering wo- man in the world would only try this grand medicine.
 If you suffer as Mrs. Campbell did, be sure that Cardui will help you, as it did her.
 Why not try 1t?
 Your druggist sells it.
 Ask him.

10o,0 PEOPLE WILL SEE
 VANDERBILT CUP RACE

New York. Oct. 17.--Although the character of this years Vanderbilt cup race on October 30 is different from that of the former contests run under that designation as it possibly could be. the proximity of the circuit to New York. and the recollection of the past glories of former vanderbilte. make certain an attendance of more than 100000 people. The contestants will no longer race as champions of the country of their origin but as cars owned by individual Americans and entered for the love of the sport It. self.
 The passing of the event from an international to a national competi-- tion will naturally, lessen interest in some quarters. but the enthusiasm of the general public Is already indicat- ed by the demand for seats, which is greater than 1t was last year.
 The entries thus far include three Flats. four Chalmers Detroits and one each of the following: Alec, Isotta. Simplex, Marion. Apperson and Moon.

NAVAL TUG COLLIDES
 WITH UNKNOWN STEAMER

Vineyard Haven. Mass, Oct. 1.-The naval tug Patapsco, one of the largest tugs in the navy. bound from New York for Portsmouth was in collision with an unknown steamer in Nam tucket Sound early today. A hole was torn in the Patapsco's hull, but so far as known no life was lost.
 Information of the accident was gleaned from wireless messages which the Patapsco sent out in quest of as- sistance. The 70. S." signals which have displaced the letterR ''C. o. D." as a call for assistance. resulted in the submarine tender Nina being de- spatched from the Newport naval sta ton and the revenue cutter Acushnet was sent from Woods Hole.
 Anchored west of Handkerchief. the Patapsco was apparently in good con- dition as seen from the shore just be- fore dark.

 Hfm-Is Passenger
 on Cunarder.

Queenstown. Oct. 17.-When James J. Jeffries, the American heavyweight pugilist, who is passenger on the steamer Lusitania. bound for New York after a period of training in a suburb of Paris. heard of Jack Johnson's vic- tory over Stanley Ketchel at San Fran disco. he said that this in no wise would affect his plans.
 Ketchel. he added. was only a mid dleweight. and not by any means the hest of middle weights.
 "Ketchel." continued Jeffries, "is trying to feed himself up to make the heavyweight class, but 1t will only weaken him. Johnson is not much of a fighter and he never met a good man. Ills fight with Burns was no test. Burns Is a newspaper fighter.
 T can only hope." Jeffries went on. "that Johnson will cover my money. would not fight him if did not think could beat him"
 One of Jeffries's friends, who is trav- cling with him. remarked that the fight between Jeffries and Johnson would be joke. Jeffries now weighs 2S0 pounds and says he will fight at 210 or 212 pounds.

IRENE Age by Growth.
Prom the New YORK Times
The most ancient living thing on earth
Is a tree. Exactly where that tree stands
Is a mooted question. for many localities
lay claim to II. but there have been scIen-
lists curious enough 70 investigate the
various claims, and We can probably ar
i've al a pretty exact result by a few
comparisons.
Recently somebody has put forth the
claim Of the so-called odd Green Tree OF
the Mississippi Valley" which stands
near the river IN lie Claire, Iowa It's
trunk is more than 100 feet IN circumtsr-
ence and its branches shade a circle OF
more than 500 feet. Il was an ancient
tree when the first white man stood IN
der its branches. and has place in the
traditions OF the Indian tribes OF the Mis-
issippi Valley dating back long, long be-
fore the first white face was seen on
the shores Of the western world.
There are certain yews n England that
were stalwa-t trees when Caesar landed
on her shores. More than a century
ago a scientist named DecandoIe proved
10 the satisfaction Of bOtantsts that a
certain yew standing in the churcnyard
of Portugal. Perthshire. was moro than
I $500 years OLD. and he found another az
Hedsor, Buclas, which was 3,2i0 years old
at that time.
Humboldt refers 10 a gigantic baobab
. tree in Central Africa as the oldest or
ganic monument IN the world. This tree
/ had a trunk % feet IN diameter. and
Adanson. by a series Of careful meas
/ urements, demonstrated coucIusively that
/ It had lived for not less than $50 years
and Il lives to-day. But even Humboldt
was wrong in his premise. II has re-
Gently been proved that there IS a tree
I in the new world which OF q verify has
( lived 70 "a green old age" for Il ante
dates the scriptural food about 1000
/ years.
( This IS a cypress tree standing IN the
/ province Of ChapUltepec. Mexico, with
trunk us feet and ten inches in circum-
/ ference. This has been shown 70 be Cas
c0nclUsively as these things can be
shown about $3.50 years OF age. Nor is
| this so remarkable when one stops 20
/ think that given favorable conditions for
/ its growth and suSJenance, the average
I tree will never die Of old age. It's death
I is merely an accident. Other younger
/ and more vigorous trees may spring up
near L, and rob its roots OF their proper
4 nourishment; insects may Kill It; foods
or winds may sweep It away. or the
| woodlands ak may fell II. II no such
/ accident happens TO II tree may -four
ish and grow FOR century upon century
and age upon age.
