PAUl'S CAFE
 CHANGES HANDS
CHRIS WEHAGiE, EXPERIENCED CATERER OF MONTGOMERY, PuRCHAsER-WILL BE REMoD. ELED-HIeH-cLAss CAFE.

Paul's Cafe, 215 North Nineteenth street, probably the best-known restaurant in Birmingham, was sold April 1 to MT. Chris Wehagie, an experienced caterer of Montgomery. The cafe will be operated under the old name "Paurs" MT. We hagie has long and successful. xperience. having managed one well-known cafe in Montgomery for 12 years. He has num- bers of friends here who heartily welcome him to citizenship in Birmingham In conversation with MT. Wehagie he re- marked that he was anxious for the pub lie to know that the same splendid force will still remain with him that was in the employ of the former manager, MT. T. L. Hobart.
 MT. Hobart wishes to thank his many friends for the liberal patronage they have given him, and assures them the cafe will be the best in the south under the personal management of Mir. We hagie.
 MT. H. T. Powell the clever cashier for years, and an old employe of the Morris cafe will still greet his many friends at the same old stand.
 In securing the service of James J. Bosworth as head steward, Mir. Wehagie should be congratulated as he too was an old employe and special friend of MT. Paurs.
 Clyde Minnis has been engaged as as- sistant steward, having filled this position for five years. He will be a valuable as- sistant to the new manager.
 The cafe will be remodeled painted, papered and put in spic and span shape When this work is done, PauIs will be one of the handsomest cafes in the city.
 The menu and service will be the best. Especial attention will be devoted to after the-theatre parties, and to discriminating transient custom.
 The sale of Paul's cafe was negotiated by Smith & Norton, real estate dealers.

SOOTHING WASH CURES ECZEMA
Oil of Wintergreen Compound Solves .
 vexing Medical Problem.

One of the most vexing problems in all medicine appears at last to have been solved by the most simple of all remedies. Ordinary oil of wintergreen properly com- pounded with thymol, glycerine and other mild healing liquids, tones up the healthy skin while killing and ultimately removing the eczema germs
 This compound, known as D. D. D. Prescription, has now so thoroughly proven it's efficacy that druggists recom- mend it unhesitatingly.
 The sheriff of Franklin county Frank fort, Ky, MT. w. H. Graham, writes:
 My 12-year-old daughter had been suf- fering with an Aggravated form of ec- zema for more than two years. We had her under the care of the best physicians here. Upon getting no relief we were in- duced to try D. D. D. Prescription.
 "She was entirely relieved. It has now been more than one year since she ceased the use of the remedy, and no sign of the trouble has appeared
 We recommend D. D. D. Prescription to all sufferers from eszema.

BESSEMER WANTS
 NEW COURTHOUSE
Will Insist on Rights In Bond
 Election
CONFERENCE ENDS WORK
Bishop Morrison Will Preach In 5esse. mer This Morning and In Jones' boro onlght-Personal
 and General.

Bessemer, April -(special)-The ques- ton of a courthouse for Jefferson county is to be a live one in this part of the county if signs do not fail, and before the matter is finally settled, it is expected the issue will be tightly drawn. Within the past two days the question has come to the front, and on every side there can be heard expressions as to what Besse- mer wants. The majority of men ap- preached ipdorse the following: "I favor a bond issue for the county in the event a courthouse is built in Bessemer as well as in Birmingham, otherwise I am em- phatieally opposed to any bond issue"
 The argument used is, that Bessemer for many years has paid into the county treasury many thousands of dollars an- nually and nothing has been given in return except the building of few bridges and a few of the most important roads. The assessed valuation of prop erty in the II beats in this part of Jeff ferson county as given by a man long familiar with the county affairs is al most one-third of the total in the whole county
 It is pointed out that Bessemer has had a court for years has put up with the worst kind of conditions, no conyenienees, and crowded rooms and yet has main tained a court where an immense amount of business is transacted, and with less trouble and cost to the litigant than in Birmingham. The doekets, it is claimed, are nearly always cleared and instead of long drawnout litigation, a man who has case can have it attended to the same term in which the suit is brought unless there is very great opposition or agreements that it go over to another term.
 The sentiment appears to be strongly in favor of voting with the rest of the coun- ty for a magnificent structure for the county at large, but with the under standing that Bessemer be given accom- modations commensurate with what she pays into the treasury, and the business of her courts

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Discovery Has RevOlHtionized the
 Treatment of skin Diseases.

Nothing in the history of medicine has ever approached the success of the mar vicious skin remedy known as poslam, which, it is safe to say, has cured more cases of eczema and skin diseases than any remedy ever offered for these ills.
 The success of poslam is not at all surprising when it is considered that the skin stops itching immediately and cures chronic cases in two weeks The very worst cases of eczema, as well as acne herpes letter, piles, salt rheum. rash, crtisted humors, scaly scalp and every form of itch, yield to it readily. Blemishes such as pimples, red noses, muddy and inflamed skin disappear al- most immediately when poslam is ap- piled. the complexion being cleared over night.
 Every druggist keeps both the 50-eent size (for minor troubles) and the $2 jar, and either of these may be obtained in Birmingham at Jacobs Pharmacy as well as other reliable drug stores.
 But no one Is even asked to purchase poslam without first obtaining an ex- perimental package which will be sent by mail. free of charge, upon request, by the Emergency Laboratories, g West Twenty street, New York city.

The trus- tees declare the object of the organization is to aid and assist the officers of the law in the detection and punishment of crime, no matter what the character, and ask for reciprocal feelings on the part of the of fioers.
 Here and in other towns over the state there seems to be a spirit of resentment against the league, but when sifted down it is found to come from the anti-prohi- bition forces as of old.

ONLY FOUR JURORS
 IN SORSBY CASE. Another Special Venire Will
 Be Necessary
MANY CHALLENGES USED
Defendant Is Very Restless During the Trial, But Gains Comfort Through Presence of Ills Wife
 and Mother.

Jackson, Miss, April 3-(Special. )-At the end of the second day of the sorsby case there are only four jurors agreed upon by both state and defense, and it is evident that another large special venire will be necessary, and that no jury will be secured before Monday night. The { panel was filled last night, but first thing this morning Attorney Miller for the de- fense challenged five, leaving only seven men in the box The sheriff called over the venire again, filled the box and in course of two hours the panel was again complete and presented to the state.
 The new men were questioned vigorous ly and 1t was nearly o'clock before the panel was accepted by the state and turned over to the defense. Immediately after noon the defense peremptorily chal- lenged eight of the panel, and the court went to work to fill in the vacant places.
 One after another the new men were knocked out. and at the hour of adjourn ment for supper the jury stood as at noon so far as final acceptances are concerned, and the night session made no important changes in the number of jurymen. It did, however, exhaust the venire of 200 and the regular panels for the week.
 Sorsby, the defendant was notceably restless during the day. He occupied chair within the rail, his mother on one side and wife on the other. At frequent intervals tears were seen coursing down the cheeks of the two ladies' The son and husband was nervous, and when there was a lull in the proceedings went to the back hall, where he paced up and down and smoked cigarettes vigorously.

ask the city for more space and
there can be no doubt but it will
be granted. We were shown by
Chief Wilkerson this morning the
plan outlined on paper what the
Fire Department purposes to do
this spring and summer in the way
of improving and enlarging the
present park. tits commendable
undertaking and should receive
the hearty cooperation of every
citizen who have the welfare OF
the city at heart. The boys will
do the work themselves at their
leisure moments, but it will take
some money to accomplish the OBJ
ject in view. When the park is en-
larged they will add ZOO and
will stock it with animals,
birds, gator, etc. They have al
ready received a pet deer, and the
dainty little animal is attracting
considerable attention. By all
means give the boys helping
hand and have cat home" place
