utmost interest is being aroused In the Torrey revival services, to be held tn Montgomery during the month of Eebruafy.s besi1nfng on February [. Every minister in the city, recognizing <ne influence which an evangelist of such 1aRaa and power will wield, has been at work. since the. inauguration or the movement to bring Dr. Torrey 70 Montgomery. among his congrega- ton, and as a result the laymen of Montgomery are imbued with an inter est equal to that of the minister's. an interest which surpasses anything ever elicited before this by the prospect of church work.
 The Cottage-Prayer meetings. held every night by most Of the Christian ministers of the city in the residences Of one or the other of their congrega- tfen, have been the greatest influences in the awakening of interest. They were inauguratd with the purpose of paving. the way for the coming and the stay of pr. Torrey. The prayer meet ings have been held during the past month. and will be continued through next week. until next Sunday. when the first of the Torrey sermon will be de- IIvered at the auditorium.

MRS. HELLNER FINED
 FOR ALLEGED ASSAULT

The case of assault and battery against Mrs. Etel Hellner, brought by Mrs. Sarah Goldberg was tried in po- lice Court Saturday evening, the prts- oner being fined $5 and costs.
 She said she had taken her COW to an open lot and tied 1t out to graze and as 1t Is her chief means of sup port, she went back later in the day to see how 1t was getting on. She says that when she reached the place she found her COW and a COW belong ing to Mrs. Goldberg, with their tether ropes entangled. and that while she was loosening them Mrs. Goldberg att tackled her. }%
 Mrs. Goldberg says 1t was Mrs. He'll ner who was the aggressor and that her assailant struck her with a stick Mrs. Goldberg produced several wit nesses to verify her statement, while there were none who appeared for the defendant, and so there was nothing for the court to decide on except the testimony of four against one.

The Man from Mexico y

The Lakewood Stock Company will
offer something entirely different in
the way of amusement next week,
and the hilarious farce comedy "The
Man from Mexicou has been selected.
This will be the first farce comedy of
the present season, and should prove
most acceptable. No more amusing
farce has been written in years and
its worth has been proven by the long
and successful run it enjoyed in New
York.
The story briefly told, is of Benji-
man Fitzhero, young lawyer who
goes on spree and attempts to hide
his debauch from his young wife.
During the nights carousal he engages
in a fight with cab man, and is sem
fenced to thirty days in Jail. To save
his wife the agony of disgrace he per-
suades her that he is going on a trip
to Mexico. A series of complications
arises which keep sthe audience con-
vulsed until the fall of the final cur
tain.
The prices of admission at Lake
wood Theatre for the remainder of
the season will be reduced to ten and
twenty cents on the floor and twenty
five cents for the balcony seats.

Death of Harry Pitts.

This community is called upon to
sympathize with Mr.. and Mrs
William H. Pitts in the death of their
only child, Harry W., which occurred
early Tuesday morning, as the result
of a wound received from a blank
cartridge pistol on July Sd. In dis
charging the weapon, which was one
of the kind intended for blank cart
ridges only and of light construction,
portion of the she'll, with bits of the
powder or other explosive, was blown
into the forefinger on his left hand
The wound was dressed by a physi-
clan and seemed to heal nicely but
the young man commenced to COM
plain of not feeling we'll on Saturday
last and symptoms of lockjaw devel-
oped Sunday morning, death ensuing
from this disease in spite of all that
could be done to combat it.
Master Harry was 13 years of age.
He had been attending the schools in
the village district and would have
entered the Academy Grammar school,
Grade VIII, next fall. He was uni
yersally popular with his schoolmates
and his death under such tragic cir
cumstances has attracted more than
the usual amount of attention and
sympathy.
Funeral services we're obs rived at
the home on the Waterville road,
this after noon, atItwo o'clock, Rev. B.
B. Merrill of the Island Congrega-
tional Church officiating.
