 After the pause of five minutes the felony case against negro which had been interrupted was resumed, the jury was again locked in their room to re- sume it's deliberations and the witnesses In the case on trial were again put under the rule.
 As a token to the Christian life of the young woman the action of Judge Miller is doubtless without parallel in the ju- dietary of Alabama or any other south ern or northern state. Miss Rice though young woman was of saintly character, loved and respected to the highest de- gree by all.

NEWS OF ENSLEY

HThe second annual concert of the Lyric
 club of the Ensley High school was a dis tpnet success, both from an artistic and
 financial standpoint. About 75o people we're in the audience. The 100 trained voices, under the slnllful direction of Miss lorraine Goar, exhibited marked ability. Miss Virginia Handley was the accom- phnist. The girls were in white and their positions against the dark green Background of wallpaper presented love- ly appearance. The singing of the sololsts, Miss Bessie Cunningham of Birmingham and MT. James Hamilton-Cone of Chicago was of the highest class and these artists Received prolonged and enthusiastic ap- plause. Miss Cunningham was given a warm reception as she appeared. Her opening number was the aria from Madam Butterfly suggesting the scene where the young Japanese wife awaits the return of her American husband Miss Ctnningham's beautiful lyric soprano was never heard to better advantage. MT. Hamilton Cone's selections were artistic and splendldly rendered. The closing number of the programme was a rendi- upn of the famous war poem Barbara Fritchie,' with Miss Cunningham as seloist.

May Dismiss Suit

l Washington, May 2S.-Secretary Of State Knox has recommended to Pres- ident Taft that the civil antitrust suit against the "coffee trust" be with ] drawn because of possible complica- tions with Brazil. This disagreement in the cabinet between the secretary of state and Attorney General Wicker sham as to the propriety of attacking the Brazilian valorization scheme in American courts became known today.
 President Taft however, has not yet accepted the suggestion and the attor- ney general continues his preparations to pursue the matter in the courts.
 Az the issue centers about foreign state, Secretary Knox regards the prob lem as one for settlement by diplomacy and not for treatment in the United States courts. He represented to the President tl.at international courtesy should direct the American government to retract it's steps and dismiss the court proceed ings.
 The attitude of Mir Knox was known to Senor de Gana the Brazilian ambassa- dor, when he caustically criticised the course of the department of justice at the Pan-American banquet in New York last night In all probability it is said no official notice will be taken of the
  ambassadors remarks
 Will Push Case
 Neither the attitude of the state de- partment nor the denial today by the New York circuit court of the governments motion for a temporary injunction re- straining any disposition of the coffee stored in New York is deterring the de- pertinent of justice, where, it is de. elared, the case will be pushed to conclu- sion.
 It is maintained by the government att torneys that the fact that a foreign state is a party to inc contracts which are all legged to be illegal offers for protection to those who carry them out in this coun- try.
 In the South Carolina dispensary case, 1t is pointed out by the department of justice the supreme court of the United States held that the state, engaged in the liquor business, was amendabfe to the laws of commerce. South Carolina, as political entity, and South Carolina as a merchant it was said were separate and distinct. This same principle, the attorreys believe. is applicable to "a for eign state.
 Attorney General Wdckersham ex- pressed the belief that the governments interests would not suffer from the action of the New York circuit court today. He said 1t is hardly probable that in the face Of this suit the coffee will be sold sub ject to such restrictions as the bill charges have been imposed on previous sales.
 It was intimated at the department of justice that should the coffee be disposed of in such manner as. the governments S petition denounces as being in violation 'of the sherman law, criminal proceed inga might follow.

TO MAKE PAPER FROM GRASS
MIL to Be Started at Ell Paso, Tex,
to Compel Weed TO Yield Easy
Profit to Farmers.

El Paso, Tex, is to have a paper
mill alongside the arena in which that
famous place has had other kinds Of
mills which are more talked about
This new mill is of a good deal of con-
sequence as compared with the pugl-
listic mills. 1t is to make paper of
bear grass. Even the thrifty wisdom
of Texas was not equal to making
anything but a nuisance of bear grass
before the paper idea was worked out
at st. Louis After five years of sue
cess in Missouri, El Paso, in the midst
of millions Of acres of the grass, is go
ing to make paper. 1t is claimed that
the highest grades Of paper for or,
binary print and commercial uses can
be made of bear grass, and the prices
range lower, because there is an
abundant supply and the cost is all
in gathering the grass. An acre of
bear grass makes nearly as much pa
per as an acre of Maine spruce trees.
and the grass grows annually 1t looks
like sharp competition for the spruce
which grows in no such hurry as that

CIGAR BOXES OF CARDBOARD
Such an Excellent Imitation Of Spanish
Cedar That They Readily Pass

There are now made cigar boxes of
cardboard in such exact imitation of
Spanish cedar boxes that they might
anywhere be taken for the real thing.
Three layers of a cardboard special
ly made for the purpose are pressed
together to produce board Of precise
ly the right thickness, and then upon
the outer side there is printed, from
an engraved plate and with correct
coloring, a Photographic reproduction
of a sheet of actual Spanish cedar;
this reproduction showing the grain
of the wood with all its variations and
even the tiny little knots, If there are

The bottom and the sides for a card

so that they require neither mailing

separately, are wire stitched in by ma.

being hinged with the usual piece Of
muslin.
These cardboard boxes made in i'm
itatlon Of cedar are finished in reg
ulation manner, paper lined and with
the usual paper flap to cover the Gig
ars. The outer edges are paper bound
in the usual fashion. In its finished
state the box contains one nail, the
nail always found at the center Of the
front edge Of the cigar box to hold the
cover down. These boxes sell for
about 80 per cent. less than boxes
made of wood.
