Chattanooga, May 25.-The TWEEN
tieth annual convention of the Tennes-

savings bank system by the United
States government.
A resolution embodying protest
against the establishment of postal
savings banks was unanimously passed
by the assembly and the industrial Or
CARNATIONS of the state were urged TO
join in the movement to defeat the
proposed legislation in congress.
The resolution passed by the bank

TAVES LIFE OF ALFONSO
Anarchist Who Accident1Y Drop
ped it Kills Himself When
Pursued by the Policemen.

Madrid, May 24.-The premature ex-
plosion of bomb yesterday near the
monument in memory of the victims
of the explosion of 1906, as King Alton
so and his bride were driving to the
palace, is believed to have prevented
an attempt on the kings life. He had
just returned from England. AT first
it was reported that an anarchist, Cal
lemayor, had thrown a bomb at the
monument, but the police are convinc-
ed that the bomb was intended for the
king. On the way to the palace the
bomb was accidently dropped. Gale
mayor killed himself when the police
pursued him. There was another
bomb explosion in church at Carranza
and three worshippers were killed and
sixteen hurt. 1t is believed to be a
concerted movement Of the anarchists.

SOAP PINCUSHI0N THE BEST
How and Why They Were introduced
Into the Hospitals by
Surgeons.

In the operating rooms of hospitals
and on the surgical carriages in the
wards may be seen a piece of soap
stuck with the varieties of pins which
1t pleases the doctor and the head
nurse to affect.
The black headed pin long associ-
ated with crinoline dressings, retains
still an honored place says the
Alumnae Magazine of Johns Hopkins
hospital The history of the intro
duction OF the soap into the hospital
is interesting.
Three years ago DR.. R. H. Follis op-
Grated upon a patient at the Church
Home. The patient was a tailor by
profession and CHANGED to reside at
Annapolis. When dressings were made
he observed the difficulty with which
the safety pins were put through the
binder and suggested trying the meth
cd the cadets at the Naval academy
had evolved to help in pinning through
their stiff ducks.
This simple but most effective de-
vice was piece Of soap as a pin
cushion, and he further remarked that
carpenters applied the same principle
to screws. DR.. Follis Immediately tried
the plan, with such success that 1t
has been generally adopted in the
surgical service.

The pretty young matron hastily

No women appeared to be heard.
Some men, however, are arguing that,
with the Methodists, Baptists and
other denomin9 atoms permitting the
women within their midst to speak in
all assemblies the Presbyterians are re-
gGrded rs behind the times.
These advocates of women are not
inclined to be belligerent, and if the
committee on bills and overtures turns
them down they probably will not de-
muir on the floor, believing that sooner
or later the assembly will relent in re-
