day, October "a, the following tribute to
the memory of Mrs. Sarah II. Bush was
read and adopted:
We, the board of lady managers of the
Hillman hospital, desire to express our
deep sense of the loss we have sustained
In the death of our co-worker, Mrs. Sarah
II. Bush. From the inception of this
charity, Mrs. Bush's interest in II never
tagged, and her untiring efforts in it's
behalf never ceased until, as a completed
work, it was given by the board to JEFF
ferson county. Her wisdom, her tact,
her energy were all issued unsparingly
in this noble cause during the years of
storm and stress In which the Hillma
hospital grew from two or three rooms in
which a few patients were cared for. to
the present handsome building with its
large capacity, through whose portals
pass an unendng procession of suffering
humanity.
Collectively. as board, we would offer
this tribute of affection and respect to the
memory of our fellow worker. while as
individuals we mourn the loss of dear
friend whom we admired for her great
ness of intellect and force of character,
and whom we loved for the charm of her
personality and the sweetness of
her nature.

Grubb's Decision Thought To Be Fin
ishing Touch to HendersOn's
Ambition-Comer's Attitude
Reaches Washington

The Age-Herald staff correspondence
from Montgomery some days ago to
the effect that Charles Henderson,
president of the railroad commission,
would in all probability, irrespective of the
course of action of Ex-Governor b. b.
Conner be a candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination next year, seems to
be borne out by recent developments in
the political sphere.
The decision of Judge William l. Grubb
to the effect that the commission was
not in contempt of court when it re-
opened the rate issue between the state
and the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
has brought from Mr.. Henderson a claim
that he, in virtue of his action in 1902,
is the real father of railroad rate re-
form in Alabama. This statement is
generally considered the first visible signs
of the construction of the Henderson
fence
1t was for a long while considered cer-
tain that Mr.. Henderson would not run
in case Mr.. Conner offered. 1t is now
considered certain that Mr.. Henderson
will be candidate irrespective of Mr..
Conner
