We'll Known in Birmingham

The news of the death of Frederick Jenkins will be received in Birmingham with the greatest regret, Mir. Jenkins of the most popular men in the city, spending the larger part of his time here, although he had never established a per manent home in Birmingham.
 With his brother, Harry s. Jenkins of Baltimore, he was interested In the Car bon Hill and the Sanoset Coal companies The Jenkins brothers were very wealthy and were attracted to the Birmingham district 10 or F years ago. They originally owned large amount of property in the Birmingham mining district. but in later years had disposed of a large part oi their interests. However, the Carbon Hill mines and the Sanoset mines were big producers and Frederick Jenkins spent the greater part of his time in this city attending to the business transac- 'tions of these two companies.
 He was very prominent In Birmingham society. Always of kindly and jovia disposition uhe was a great favorite and was generally to be seen at society af. fairs. His friends in this city were in numerabe and included the most promi- nent and distinguished people In the dis trict. He was a member of the Southern and Country clubs, several fraternal or ders and smaller social societies. Mir Jenkins lived at the Hillman hotel
 He had remarkable business ability ant stood well with all the great business concerns and corporations of the Bir- mingham district. He came to Birmng. ham about Il or 12 years ago when he anc his brother first invested some of theil capital here and had been manager of theil Birmingham interests ever since. A few years ago the Jenkins brothers invested the greater portion of their capital 1T the West Virginia oil fields and 1t wa: then that they released some of theil holdings in this district.
 Mir Jenkins visited Birmingham just 2 few weeks ago and closed up some busi ness matters before his start for Europe That was the last he was seen in Br. mingham and when several of his closes' friends were informed this morning O. his death they were almost prostrateI with grief. not even knowing that MT Jenkins had been i'll.

ADMINISTRATION
 ID CONGRESS.
Resolutions Adopted Urg- ing Suppression of the
 Opium Traffic

Toronto, Ont, October 16.--A resolution was passed at the Ecumenical Methodist conference today pettioning Congress of the United States to take steps to prevent the shipment of liquor from one state into the prohibition territory of another state in defiance of the law and ''there- by bringing the federal governpent into complicity with the liquor traffic..
 Resolutions were also adopted condemn ing the ne temere marriage decree of the Roman Catholic church. against un- justifiable divorce and affirming the sanc- tity of the home and fidelity of Meth odist ministers in refusing to marry un- warrantably divorced persons; also. urg- ing complete suppression of the opium traffic and appointing Bishops Hamilton of Boston and Wilson of Baltimore a committee to confer with President Taft and to express concurrence of the con- ference in his peace proposals.
 The need of a more efficient, a more broadly educated ministry was empha- sized in the morning discussion of the Training of the Ministry Attention was drawn to the scarcity in candidates of the most desirable character for the ministry and it was attributed to the fact that church and clergy looked all too much for their recruits in the Methodist parsonages and small country churches instead of to the mass of young men gen erally. The church required men of the highest cultivation and the need of bet ter equipment in the theological colleges was emphasized in this connection.
 At this afternoon session the essays and discussions centered on the influence of the press generally and particularly the advantage of placing Methodist pa pers in the home. Ministers were charged with apathy towards denominational pa pers and were strongly urged to seize the potentialities of printers ink.

 in His Honor-Goes to
 Saltillo Today
AT SAN LUIS

Mexico City, October 16.-Tonight there was little doubt that Jose Plno Suarez had received a majority or tne votes cast for vice president in the cleo toral college Sunday. but pr. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, who is at the rear or the procession, and the Catholic packers or Francisco l.. De La Barra, persisted III declaring their belief that they had cut down the leaders vote to the point where inc chamber of deputies will have to make the choice.
 The returns in are by no means conn plete, but representing all the popuious districts and coming from points widely separated throughout the republic, as they do. there is good reason to believe the Yucatanean won the necessary 5l per cent of the votes.
 President De La Barra sent message to the chamber of deputies tonight asking that body not to take Into considera- tion the votes cast for him, since he Lhad repeatedly declined the nomination for vice president and that they had been cast against his will The message was referred to a committee.

 San Luis, Potosi, Mexico, October 16.- Francisco l. Madero, presdent-elect to- dav was the honored gueQ of this city. where a little more than a year ago he was prisoner by the orders or Por1irlo Diaz and regarded by most of the ln- habitants as pitiable visionary wno would be lucky if he escaped punishment by death. Today the jail in which he was lodged and in which he wrote his Plan of San Luis Potosi,'' the platform of the revolution was decorated with the na- tional colors in his honor, and public of fcials, both city and state, paid hom- age to the man who had not been here since he fled fugitive.
 Madero's time was occupied with the
 usual speeches and banquets and re- captions At intervals he found oppor- tunity to read the returns of the election forwarded to him from the capital and to reply to telegrams congratulating him upon his own election.
 But few of the officials who were in | the city when he was brought here un- | der guard in 1910 are now here. From the post of governor down to minor munich pal offices, men who followed Madero are in power, and even his old jailer Is not on duty. He was arrested a short | time ago for irregularities in office and is now a prisoner himself
 Tomorrow Madero expects to visit Sal I'tillo on -hfs way to Monterey, where he was arrested during the political cam paign he had undertaken, on a charge o1 | having made reasonable utterances

GIANT FANS ARE
 VERY DOWNCAST

New York, october 16.-"Athletics win. = "Giants lose," whichever way the big headlines read or the ncwsboy shrieScd on Broadway this afternoon the tidinss fell as damper on the hopes of the more ardent New York fans. It seemed that the crowd of 10000 enthusiasts who are expected to storm the Polo grounds again tomorrow to see the game will have less confidence of New York victory.
 The opinion which prevails tonight brought back by the New York enthus- lasts who visited Philadelphia was Christy Mathewson is the only hope Saturday. It was announced that he and Coombs, the heroes of last years championship se- rles, probably would be the opposing pitchers tomorrow.
 If Mathewson loses it will be still harder blow seemingly necessitating re- courses to Wltse or Ames, the relief pitchers.
 Marquard's yousness~exhibited in costly wild pitch at the start of todays game had been predicted by many en- thuiasts because of his sensitiVeness 10 opposition roofing. The fans believe that on home grounds he would make a pet ter showing.
 Unsettled weather for tomorrow was the forecast this evening.
 So intense was the interest in today's game at Philadelphia that thousands of enthusiasts abandoned their work to follow the contest player by player dis played on the bulletin boards. --~--->----------------~- integrity of hte Chinese empire against such designs
 Apparently there is but one feasible method of accomplishing this, it Is point cd out, and that Is by securing a concert of action among the powers, such as was so successfully maintained by Secretary Hay in support of the "open door poi icy in the far east Whether or not 1t will devove upon America to take the lead in organizing such defensive union. it is yet too early to predict. but if the rebellion should be long drawn out as promises now to be the case, it is be- lieved that some infringement by one side or the other the rights of for eigners will soon occur that will bring the matter to an issue by causing some as- aressive power to unduly assert itself in China.

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate Hu.
man Life IL Quickened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with its mellowing
warmth and radiance, is one of the
great essentials to good health.
Wherever it penetrates, in prudently
regulated moderation, it quickens hui
man life, promotes health and happi-
ness, and may be truly regarded as
one of the best friends of man and
beast. The common practice of pro-
viding blinds, shutters, curtains and
other means for shrouding the win
dows and shutting out the sunshine, is
undoubtedly great mistake, and
makes for physical weakness and i'll
health. More window light, more sun.
shine, and not less, Is what we re-
quire. Let all your apartments, kitch-
en-, sitting rooms, parlors and bed
rooms, too, be flooded with sunlight as
much as possible.

sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.

preventative and a cure for sore
throat because 1t possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in glass
of water, used as gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
