GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF THE NUN OF KENT.

if Henry divorced Catherine he would die at the end of one month and that Mary would ascend the throne. Tie month had elapsed and Henry was still living
 Henry wished to prove that Eliza Meth was a demoniac Cramner and a''er"ards Cromwell were ordered to examine the holy maid of Kent She was taken from her convent, brought be- Tore Judges and there says Burnett, she willingly renounced the cbaracter of an inspired person which she had been compelled to adopt; acknowledge herself as guilty of fraud and attributed her ecstaeies to desire of worldly praise. The examination took place without witnesses. few monks. denounced 2 s 10 her accomplices were arrested and appeared before the star chamber. on being examined with the torture ba- fore their eyes they confessed the,r guilt, and threw themselves on the royal clemency.
 It Is probable they were more culp- able in the eyes of Henry thanrjn that of God, and they were taken one Sum day. in the month of November. l5a4 with halters around their necks. as far as St Pauls cross, and there heard sermon from one of the royal chan laihs. and were afterwards reconducted to prison.
 It was generally believed that Henry after having exposed the monks to the ridicule of the populace. would have granted them their lives and thus vaunted his clemency Cramner had however. discovered high treason. and bill of attainder was accordingly brought into the house of peers ars,n.. Elizabeth Burton. and six of her ao- complices. No further trial was neoes. sary for the peers had before tbem as evidence their confessions wrsnohed rom them by threat of the torture.
 On the second reading of tba b,ll several of the peers, urged bv rernor.s of conscience. had sufficient courage to pray the King to allow tho accused to be examined personally.

 internal revenue shows marked decrease in the consumption of whisky and dis titled spirits by the American people Dur ing the past year there has been an ir- crease in the consumption Of beer and light wines, but a decrease in the con sumption of distilled spirits. As matter of fact, the people of this country are be- ing educated. like the people of Europe. to the consumption of lighter liquid stim- ulants than they heretofore used.

 The paved streets and the good roads
 
 novement which The Age Herald started several years ago is bearing wonderful frut. Birmingham has become one of the best paved cities in this country and is continuing the good work
 Jefferson county Is likewise gradually getting as good a system of roadways as there is in America. The working of convicts on the roads is largely responsi- ble for this.
 During the past week have been over several of the roads of the county built by convict labor and without exception they are ideal They are graded almost like railroads, are well cherted, smooth and broad. They are adding much to the value of farm lands and certainly to the convenience of the farmers of the county. Let the board of revenue and the city commissioners continue their good work.

fered rewards for the apprehension of the
 murderers. The hanging of a few ri1ur- derers and the punishment of the ''pistol- toter'' generally will have good effect.
 Birmingham Is an ideal city In every re- spect. except that 1t has an overproduc- ton in It's crop of pistol toters and men on murder bent.
 Although this has been the hottest sum- mer up to date we have had in Bir- mingham for many years. 1t is notable how few people have left for summer re- sorts. Most of the men are too busy to go away and Birmingham has so many attractive suburban surroundings that those who desire 1t find abundant recrea- ton. With the Country Club, the Roe buck Springs Club, the various parks and the mountain resorts within half hours distance of the city the people can find all SDT1S Ol aInuSementS ana COOL places to go to.
 In this connection I am told that com pany has been organized to build a new 10O-room hotel on Shades Mountain near the old Berry place, and that the same company is to build golf links in connec- ton with the hotel on the crest of the mountain.
 From what am told, work will com mence on this hotel within the next few weeks. One of the best known hotel men in the south. who has been very success ful in summer resort hotels, is to con duct it.
 The hotel will be located within less than two miles of the Edgewood car line and will operate motor -pusses back and forth over the Shades Mountain roads. Such will be quite an asset to the many attractive features of Birmingham. o

To Give a Barbecue

There was much enthusiasm shown at the regular monthly meeting of the Bir- mingham Kennel club the past week.
 said an active member, and the day was set for the barbecue and plans were put forward for making it the cue of the
 season.
 Judge Zell Gaston offered his attractive suburban acreage for the purpose and also
 he will co-operate with the entertainment committee. He has at his command one of the best negro barbecue chefs in the state. Already the very choicest of meats pork, beef and lamb-have been ordered from Chicago by the representatives of A large packing house, and assurance is given that the lamb will be from a re-
 serve flock kept for the elect A member
 has offered all the watermelons needed, and another will chill them in cold stor- age and have them on the grounds for
 the after feast. And still another mem-
 Der will provide all the soft drinks and ice. A subscription by members will pro. vide the other things needful, except that a bon vivant has staked his reputation on making a salad delicious for the con- dmental feature.
 Judge Gastons place Is a lovely spot for the affair. with It's cottage for sym
 poslums of various kinds. shade and a deep well of mineral water. It is about three-quarters of a mile from the ter. minus of the Roebuck Springs car line, or the Huffman road. Special conveyancei | will carry the members and their guests | (stags only) to the grounds.

The New York stock Market

Henry Clews in his Saturday review as of July 3 is much more cbeerfpl lnah he has been for the last few weeks. He says that the New York stock market seems to be on the verge or awakening from "1ethargic sleen D ana this in spite of many unfavorab ble factors which still remain. He thinks 3t evident that those factors have been literally discounted. Clews then goes on to say in part:
 such shocks as the claflin failure. the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and fresh railroad receiver ships are almost ignored For some time past it has been self-evident that this market was thoroughly sold out after nearly 20 months of steady liqui- dation Its technical position, as has been frequently pointed out, is stead fly improving; and only some develop ments of a convincing and promising nature are needed to infuse fresh life and hope into the local market
 "The situation abroad shows an i'm proving tendency, particularly at Lon don At Paris there is still some ten sion owing to an uneasy political sit- uation, but financial affairs generally on the continent are settling down and the calmness with which the assassin ation at Sarajevo was received shows that no serious complications are yet In prospect. The shock of the Claflin failure has been safely passed; al- though it is somewhat premature to anticipate that the taking care of over s3o. 100000 of liabilities can be effected without some losses and difficulties Current railroad earnings frequently show very poor results and additional receiverships are unpleasant reminde. S of the strain imposed upon railroad finances by recent conditions. These however belong to the past The fu- ture certainly begins to look more cheerful Good crops and easy money are factors powerfully helpful"

The Leader is we'll pleased,
over the result Of the election as
far as the distribution of offices
is concerned. We have always
said that since we have the coun-
ty seat, the outside should be
recognized as far as possible at.
the courthouse. You will see by
the other column that this has
been done at the primaries. In
some papers you read you will
see that all offices are filled with
men from one town, this should.
not be the case. We believe that
the people all through the county
Will be we'll pleased with the dis
tribution that has been made.
There were so many candidates
for each office it was hard to
choose and especially where there
were SO many prominent candi-
dates from each place. It is
good to know they all received big
votes in their home precincts. The
people will have representatives
at the county seat from all over
the county which is the way it
ought to be.
