RAID MADE ON
 MANS BEDROOMS
TEST OF NOVEL FEATURE OF CAR MICHAEL ACT WILL BE MADE. JUDGE FEAGIN CONTINUES THE CASES FORMERLY MADE.

Another raid and arrest was made by the police department last night under the Carmichael act which will test the point involving the storage of liquors in bedrooms.
 The arrested man Is D. W. Jones, while the place raided was his rooms in the Osceola hotel. Nos. Il and 12. A case of whisky in half pint fiasks was taken in charge and removed to Chief Bodeker's office. Jones was taken to the city jail where he spent the night in default of bond. Plainclotheswen Jones, Hood. Tay- Tor and Cornett effected the arrest.
 In some manner the impression has gotten abroad that the Carmichael act could not touch persons bedroom, this being regarded as his home. The ponten- tion Is held by some that mans bedroom in a boarding house or hotel cannot be regarded as his home. The threshing out of this matter promises to be inter- esting.
 The previous cases made by the police came up yesterday morning before Judge Feagin. Owing to the fact that the judge and attorneys were unfamiliar with the bill the cases were continued until the 18th in order that every one might famil- iarize himself with its details.
 Chief Bodeker received copy of the bill last night from Secretary of State Julian and placed 1t upon the file in his office. It was read at roll call last night to the officers while each member of the department will be furnished with a copy of 1t In the next day or two.

BLONDEIL AS ] WIDIZNER
 HAS FISH SSED

Captain Blondell, champion long-dis- tance swimmer of the world who is per- forming at East Lake this week, simply has a fish outclassed. And more than that he can smoke pipe under water, which no fish has ever claimed to be able to do. Tn fact, all of the fish in East Lake gathered under the pavilion last night and took some valuable point ters from the great human swimmer
 The exhibition at East Lake last night was very neat indeed. From the time Cap- tain Blondell began his performance until the marine pyrotechnics' display began. about 30 minutes, the swimmer never touched bottom, and his stunts were both difficult and skilfully executed Treading water all the time the swimmer cooked lunch on little raft. ate part of it, drinking his milk from a bottle while under water, and finally lit his cigar,

FULLY 5000 AT HE MT, P|NSON EVENT Company c, 18th Alabama, Holds Its Annual Reunion LESS THAN 20 SURVIVORS Big Dinner Was Served and Veterans, Under Shade of Trees, Re-
 viewed Stories of the
 Great Struggle.
LESS THAN 20 SURVIVORS

With fully 5000 people in attendance the surviving members of Company C. Nineteenth Alabama regiment of the Confederate states army, assembled with their friends at Mt Pinson, 15 miles north of Birmingham yesterday morning in their annual reunion. The occasion was perhaps the most largely attended and most enthusiastic gath ering ever held by the Alabama com- pany which fought and bled in the war between the states.
 Company was organized at Mt. Pinson soon after the war broke out and for several years past the sur vivors have gathered on the scene of the organization of the company to pay respect to tn ose members of the company who have passed away and to revive the spirit which made a band of the grandest soldiers the world has ever known. Time has told fearfully and there were less than 20 survivors : of the company present at the reunion yesterday.
 Dinner was served on the grounds and the occasion was a happy one. The battle scared veterans sat around un- der the trees and with their stories brought down to the present memories of the days when civil strife shook the nation. During the morning while the boys of '64" were enjoying tn cir remi- niscences the ever-present candidate was gum sh being, and rubber-t -tiring and oft-peddling around among the 5000 attendants.
 After dinner the speaking began. Jesse F. Stlling, the well known at torney and orator, who was to have spoken on the occasion was unayoida- bly, absent. However, a number of men of prominence from Birmin gham were present, and among those who ad- dressed the gathering were Judge S. L.. Weaver and Col. Sumter Lea.
 The Birmingham crowd, more than 500 strong, left the city yesterday morning over the Louisville and Nash vile railroad and returned on the early train yesterday evening. The gathering was marked by the attend ance of people from all sections of Jefferson county and there were out siders present by the score.

 Following the aquatic exhibition of the swimmer miniature ship was destroyed on the lake. The boat was first set on fire as if in battle, Roman candles giving the effect of firing cannon, and when the ship had almost completely burned it was blown to smithereens by dynamite which was set off from the fire.
 Captain Blondell has an interesting col lection of credentials, one of which gives him the title of long distance swimmer of the world. His tite-winning feat was accomplished in the Ohio river when he swan a little more than 31 miles with out stopping. Captain Blondell will give exhibitions tonight and Sunday night.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Union of Church and State.
the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald,
 The remark credited to MT. Car michael speaker of the lower house of Alabama representatives, to the effect that "the church people of Alabama ought to rule" has been twisted into such interpretation as to compel pat riotio people to shudder for shame, lest the horrors of some European eccles- iastical inquisition should be about to break loose upon Alabama. That al legged remark, The AgeHerald saw fit to invest with sufficient importance as to dignity 1t with editorial discus sion. Then, into these columns comes MT. James s. Brown with a letter to the editor proposing to show that "The Unbalanced Wave" alleged to be sweeping over the state. finds its f1t- ting conclusion in the "amalgamation" of church and state. Both the editor and his correspondent treat the mat ter of such union and amalgamation as a serious proposition, seriously made by a serious speaker of a serious house of representatives.
 The frightful vision of old world atrocities. conjured into the brain of The Age-Herald editor by the contem- plation of a union of church and state such as France once had. as also the eloquent fulminations of MT. Jerome S. Brown, if not gratuitous assumption pure and simple, may hardly be found to be justified by what MT. Car michael said in the premises, or by what Mr. Carmichael believes and stands for as to the proper relation of church and state. For beyond all con- troversy, MT. Carmichael no more fayors such union and amalgamation of church and state, as Is combatted by the editor and by Mr. Brown, than do these gentlemen themselves. Mir. Car michael Is an honored member of the Methodist church, and Methodists have always consistently stood squarely against any such union and amalga- nation of church and state.
 The tenor of the editorial herein al- luded to and that also of MT. Browns letter may be considered merely as the construction thus placed upon MT. Car michaers alleged remark; construc- tion that ought to be so palpably un- warranted as to cause surprise that 1t Be reached by men whose splendid horizon Is infinitely broader than straight line.

ON FOOD The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food Is the foundation of health. People can eat improper food for time until there Is a sudden collapse of the digestive organs, then all kinds of trouble follows
 The proper way out of the difficulty is to shift to the pure, scientific food. Grape-Nuts, for 1t rebuilds from the foundation up. A New Hampshire wom- and says;
 Hast summer I was suddenly taken with indigestion and severe stomacr trouble and could not eat food without great pain, my stomach was so sore I could hardly move about. This kept up until I was so miserable life was not worth living.
 Then a friend finally, after much argu- ment induced me to quit my former diet and try Grape-Nuts.
 "Although had but little faith I commenced to use 1t and great was my surprise to find that could eat 1t without the usual pain and distress in my stom- ach.
 'So I kept on using Grape-Nuts and soon a marked improvement was shown, for my stomach was performing it's regu- lar work in a normal way without pain or distress.
 ''very soon the yellow coating disap- peared from my tongue. the dull, heavy feeling in my head disappeared and my mind felt light and clear; the languid, tired feeling left, and altogether I felt as if I had been rebuilt Strength and weight came back rapidly and I went back to my work with renewed ambition.
 To-day I am new woman in mind as we'll as body and owe 1t all to this nat> ural food, Grape-Nuts." There's q Reason
