Latin Americans Jubilant

New Orleans November 7.--Latin- Amer jeans in New Orleans are jubilant over the election of Woodrow Wilson. At a meeting of the central American colony today, telegram of congratulation was sent to MT. Wilson, In which the belief was expressed that the Wilson adminis- tration would mean the death of dollar diplomacy, which has brought untold suf- fei'ing and loss of life and property to our people," and the re-establishment of pleasant social and commercial relations between the United States and the repub- lies to the south.
 The telegram expressed the view tha. the strong anti-American feeling endan- gered by the Knox policy in Latin-Amerl- ca would be dispeled by the general belief of the people of the southern repub- lies that MT. Wilson would accord them a Square deal"
 The telegram was signed by Don Poli- carpo Bonilla, former president of Hon. duras, pr, Angel Ugarte and General Francisco Altschul, former governor of Granda, Nicaragua, and Colonel Carlos Martinez, a prominent Nicaraguan exile.
 Jose Santos Zelaya, former president of Nicaragua, cahled from Spain to General Altschul to extend his congratulations to Mr. Wilson.

UNCERTAINTY AS ID TENNESSEE SENATOR
Legislature Said to Be Hos tile to Ex-Governor
 Patterson

Nashville, November 7.-Much uflcer- tainty exists as to the naming of a sue eessor to United States Senator Newell Sanders, republican. who was appointed by Governor Hooper to fill out the unex- pred term of Senator R. L. Taylor. who died in office.
 The legislature chosen at the polls Tues day is apparently hostile to ex-Gov. M, R. Patterson, nominee of the so-cal1ed reg ular" faction of the democratic party, but it is claimed at democratic state head quarters that it Is controlled by the reg ular' democrats, and if this claim is true some regular" democrat other than Pat terson might be named.
 Several members of the legislature who are allied with the regular" democrats are opposed to Patterson, who was made an issue in the campaign. II is claimed by independent democrats and republicans that they jointly have a majority Of the legislature on joint ballot, and if their contention is well founded it Is probable that an independent democrat will be elected to the Senate.
 Senator Newell Sanders has pledged himself not to seek reelection and it is believed that the republican votes will be

ENGLISH INTEREST
 IS IS ABOUT ABOUT TARIFF TARIFF

London, November 7.-ChIef interest here in the American presidential cleo ton is it's relation to the tariff. Tariff reform is one of the leading issues in British politics. The liberal papers hail the democratic successes as a great vic- tory for low tariff which is certain to have an influence on England The Daily News says:
 That the democratic party should re- turn to office after 16 years in the wilder ness. is nothing. What matters it that it is regenerated party which has returned entrusted by the American people with a definite mission and led by a man who has character and intellect to carry the mission through? War against protec- ton is an interest common to all peoples and the world has too long been denied that inspiration, that leading which we have a right to expect from the greatest of all republics"
 The Morning Post says:
 'The significance of the election lies h the fact that the people were dissatisfied with the Taft administration which was too much controlled by the bosses, but were not ready to accept the advanced Roosevelt programme"

Union Label and Metal Trades Departments

sign of Street. subsequently executed with some modifcations, as well as all the other designs, which included the work Of almost all the leading practitioners of Gothic. at a time when a classic design for a public building stood as little chance of acceptance in the United Kingdom as a Gothic design would stand today in & similar competition in the United States.
 The unsuccessful design of MT. Burges had the fortune of being extensively bor- roMeo and adapted on both sides of the Atlantic. MT. Burges' design for the law courts imposed Itself upon the Gothic architects of England and America It's rejection is understood to have been due to the circumstances that 1t was found to be not English meaning French, and military Gothic'' instead of civil All the same the choice of it's author to design an American Anglican college was, 40 years ago, almost a foregons con- clusion. M
 MT. Burgess design for a complete coi- legiate plant on a site he had never seen was unquestionably brilliant per- formance. It's early vigor and bold pic- turesqueness, as of the thirteenth cen- tury in France, had little in common with the picturesque degeneration of Gothic which we call Tudor or "collegiate." and in which American architects have lately won such successes at Princeton, at Chicago. in the College of the City of New York, in this citys two theological seminaries. at Yale and elsewhere. But beyond question it was a vigorous and masterly conception in it's own kind and very we'll worthy of execution
 Only one fragment of it has been exe- cuted. That is Northam Hall, which bears testimony to the liberalty of one benefactor as Williams Hall which it seems is stipulated to be named in mem ory of an honored and beloved successor of Bishop Brownell, may be expected to attest the liberality of another. With this exception the building of Trinity on its new site has had nothing to do with the large and impressive project formulated by MT. Burges. and is of a very minor artistic interest.
 We may fairly assume that Mir. Nor gan's benefaction is based upon rec version to the original architectural scheme. In that case pilgrimage to Trinity. already very we'll worth while on account of Northam Hall. will be much better worth while on account of Will Hams Hall and of the additional building the completion of which Mir. Morgan has providently made the condition of his gift The additional building should in common gratitude be known as Morgan hall.

 It was in 1872 that the college, found

MRS. B. O'LEARY COMES OUT WITH
 OWN STATEMENT
Remarkable New Tonic Has Restored Her
 Health

The following statement was made Thursday ny Mrs. Bessie oLeary' re- siding at No 2009 Park avenue, Bir- mingham. At the approach of the last milepost of womans life, which is usu- ally such a crucial test for her future well-being," said Mrs. O'Beafy, my health gave way and l became nervous wreck. l was all rundown and could not eat. Sleep gave me no benefit or re- lief. A feeling of lasstude was constant and I was unable to perform my house. hold duties. I would often suffer with crying spells, and for no apparent req son whatever I was restless, and the slightest excitement would often make me feel like screaming. My thoughts were obscure and unnatural My stomach was continually out of order and l always felt a peculiar dread of being left alone for fear of some imaginary calamity. 1 lost weight gradually and believed had become an object of sympathy. Every thing possible was tried to bring about a change in my condition. but nothing seemed to do good until I was induced 10 try the new medicine, Stummatone. which was brought to me from another city. It benefited me from the very be- ginning. I began to eat better, grew less nervous, more cheerful and be- gan to gain in weight. am generally
  medicine. 1 can certainly recommend It."
 This statement from Mrs. O'Leary should impress everyone, as she is well and favorably known in Birmingham as woman of sound judgment In discussing the matter one of the nerve and stomach specialists stationed at the Gum Drug company, Twentieth street ard Third avenue, to introduce Stumma- tone. said Mrs. o'Leary was unmis- taksbly suffering from standardization, the slow seif-poisoning of vital organs, and the foundation of most ailments and diseases. Trying to force yourself both mind and body, to do what neither of them are capable of doing, causes an ex- haustion that renders the organs lame. The organs are therefore unable to per- fern their proper work and the accumu- lation of waste matter in the intestines rapidly increases. The unfriendly putre- factive germs set in and the sufferer be- comes a physical wreck. because poisons are being generated within her, or his, own system. Stummatone positively over comes this wretched condition within an astonishingly short space of time Every bottle of Stummatone Is guaranteed to do the work, or the purchase price is refunded.
