Montgomery, October 19.-(Special.) J.
 With the biggest crowd present in the history of a Montgomery fair, the Ala
 bama Agricultural association of this city this morning threw open its gates to welcome visitors to the great fall car | nlval which is to continue until Satur- day week. The exhibits had all been placed when the park was opened to the visitors at o'clock in the morning, and the throng of sightseers at once got busy on a tour of the buildings, which this year are grooming under the importance | of the articles therein
 The crowning feature of the Montgom- cry exposition is to be in the agricul- tural exhibits, which this year will come from every one of the 67 counties of the state. Splendid prizes have been offered for the best exhibits, the value of the | purses being sufficient to guarantee a | rousing interest in the displays.

A model and up-to-date dairy Is being operated in connection with the exposition, while amusements and at fractions are among the choicest that could be got together Many of the at tractlons that were at the Appalachian exposition in Knoxville are on hand at this fair.
 Postmaster J. P. Dimmick has intro- duced an innovation on the grounds in the shape of a postal station, where ex- position visitors will have their mail delivered. The Fourth National hank Of the city at the same time has opened a branch bank on the grounds, whereby visitors with proper credentials can have all checks cashed and money changed. President A. G. Forbes, who has been at the head of the Montgomery fairs practically for the past three years. an- nounces that the opening day far sur passed the most sanguine expectations of all the officials. Secretary George T. Barnes, who came here from Birming ham to look after the exposition, is of the opinion that the good to be accomplished will be far-reaching, especially insofar as Is concerned an additional impetus which 1t will give to farming in the state. This mas been the chief aim of the officials.

Mystery surrounds the sudden death in this city, at the county bastile, of Jim Mills, negro who Saturday night killed his wife and deposited her body at the rear of his residence near Capitol Heights. Upon the discovery of the body of the negress the husband was arrested charged with murder, and he was taken to the bastile for Imprisonment.
 This morning when the jailer went to the cell of Mills he found the negro stretched out on the floor dead Jail of ficials are not able to account for the de- mise, unless 1t is that the negro, who is believed to have been crazy, refused to eat the food which had been prepared for him. It Is thought that he had prob ably been on a starvation diet of several days prior to the killing of his wife.

Anniston, October 19.-(Special.) )-Lee Gilbert, who has been on trial in this city this week for the murder of Willie Gra- ham, a pretty young shop girl, with whom he was infatuated, was found guilty in the verdict rendered by the jury this afternoon, sentence of life impris- onment being recommended.
 The defendant was saved by the insan- lty plea, it being alleged that he had been rendered insane by the ravages of disease and by heredity. being insane as a result of protracted drunkenness at the time of the killing. His attorneys have appealed the case.
 Gilbert's alleged motive in killing Wil- lie Graham was jealousy. The girl was shot five times last August while she plead for mercy, the man holding her while the fatal shot was fired over the shoulder of her sister, Lee Graham, who fought with the assai1ant to save her sisters life, receiving also bullet wound in the back Owing to the human interest features to the case the trial attracted unusual interest

Pope on Trial


 The capacity of the city court room, which has been crowded throughout this week, on account of the Lee Gilbert mur- der trial, was again taxed this afternoon when the case of Erwin Pope, charged with the murder of J. B. McClurkin, a prominent Calhoun county ginner and planter, was called for hearing.
 The initial hearing of Pope about a year ago was one of the most sensational ever held in this section of the state, a special guard being necessary at all times to protect his life on account of the intense feeling aroused over the crime with which he is charged.
 While there is not as much interest in the case at this time as there was a. year ago. there continues much specula- ton as to the outcome and the court room IS crowded with curious persons who listen eagerly to every word of evil dence offered by the witnesses
 Pope is said to have been actuated to murder by a motive to conceal an alleged burglary from the McClurkin gin. He is said to have knocked the deceased from his horse early one morning with a large stick, following which Mir McClurkins S head was beaten into jelly with large stone, the head of the dead man then being partly submerged In the newly ploughed ground of a nearby field
 The case is being rushed and 1t Is be- lieved that 1t will be completed within less than two days.

Novel Way of Conducting War

How the Anti tuberculosis Campaign
Is Financed and a Relief Fund
Raised by the Aid Of Little
Christmas Stickers.

New York.-Wars always produce q
new supply of emergency measures
for the relief of the sick and wounded.
1t is not surprising, then, that the CIVIL
war, with its hundreds Of thousands
of manned and wounded soldiers,
coupled with Yankee ingenuity, should
have brought into existence the stamp
as a means Of raising money for the
soldiers relief funds. The scheme was
first instituted in Boston in 1862 at the
United States Sanitary fair, bat SO
successful was the idea that other
fairs in Brooklyn, Stamford n
Springfield, Mass, at once adopted It,
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars were
raised in this way.
So popular, however, did the stamp
become, that the public became sati-
ated, and soon after the war the sale
Of stamps for charitable purposes fell
into disuse In this country. In Europe
the charity stamp was adopted In Por-
tugal for the first time in 1892, and has
been initiated with varying success IN
almost every country on the continent,
and aver In Australia and the Orient.
It was a wal that again brought the
stamp into national prominence in the
United States, but not a wal OF guns
and Of fields of carnage. 1t was a war
of enlightenment against ignorance;
a war of cleanliness on filth; a war OF
health against dfsease-the great
American war against tuberculosis.
While the Civil war, with its slaugh-
ter and death, killed about 100000 gov
eminent troops in four years, and
manned perhaps twice that number,
every year that silent, subtle foe, tu-
berculosis, Stays 100000, and lays low
three to five times that number. A
war, therefore, against such an en-
envy demanded and still demands am

launched on a national basis by the
American Red Cross in 1908.

keeps silent 1t is conclusive evidence
in their minds that he cannot stand
investigation, and this establishes his
character beyond doubt. 1t is &C
cepted by them as sufficient voucher
that he is a member in good standing
in the brotherhood of crooks, and he
is then admitted into full fellowship.
Shortly after the melee n Of the
crowd suggested to Butts that he call
in the police. He promptly replied:
NO police for me-" and the detective
was thereupon received without hesi-
tation or mental reservation. During
the next seven or eight months Butts
worked with this gang Of counter
feiters as a shower of queer.
Counterfeit showers" as they are
called, usually travel in pairs. One
fellow carries the bogus money and
remains outside, while the other
takes one bill, enters a place OF bust
ness, purchases some trife, tenders
the counterfeit note in payment, and
receives change in good money. Ii
this precaution were not observed
the possession of other counterfeit
money, in case of detection and arrest
would indicate guilt and lead almost
inevitably to conviction.
Detective Butts, however, did moi
pass any counterfeit money but used
instead a good bill in the place of the
one he received from the carrier
That was kept for evidence, and II
this way he deceived the queersmer

not believe in using harsh measures
unnecessarily. Quincy fairly chuckled
at this simplicity and was thrown
completely off his guard.
He assumed an air of great mystery
and spoke of the possible existence OF
counterfeit plates that might be
reached for a reward. He would not,
he declared, accept a dollar for his
personal services but, because of his
great fancy for me, was ready to as
sist in every way possible. He was
permitted to barney along and play
the game to his own liking, secure in
the belief that he was completely de-
ceiving the government officials.
In the meantime the services Of an
| old counterfeiter, fresh from the peni-
Tertiary, had been secured. Many OF
his old c~onfederates were now opera
ting with the Quincy gang and,
through him, Bill Butts, a fresh-look-
ing detective from one Of the western
states, was introduced to several OF
the men who made their headquarters
at a saloon on the Bowery. Butts in
formed the barkeeper Of the saloon
that he had just served a term for
Showing the queer"
At first the co~unterfeiters and
thieves hanging around the place ap
peared to be suspicious of Butts. One
day, however, when these Williams
were drinking beer in the back room
Of the place, a fight arose. The de
tective went in with the rest an(
stretched out several Of the fellows
though he was badly beaten up in thu
end, and in addition was robbed 0
his pocketbook and watch.

sion are peculiar. When a crowd o
