Sir Henry Ro'seoe's entertaining and informative autobiography contains an amusing story of Sir Robert Ball. The famous astronomer, after delivering a lecture on "Sun Spots and Solar Chem istry," met a young lay, who expressed her regret that she had missed hearing the lecture. "Well, you see," replied Sir Robert, "I don't know that it would have interested you particularly, as it was all about sun spots." "Why," she replied, "it would have interested me extremely for I have been a mytyr to freckles all my life!" "NO TROUBLE." To Chance fro-n Coffee to Postum. "Postum has done a world of good for me', writes an Ills. man.

"A coffee drinker for 30 years, it ir ritated my stomach and nerves, yet I was just crazy for it. After drinking it with my meals. I would leave the table, to go out and lose my meal and the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry as ever. "A friend advised me to quit coffee and use Postum said it cured him. Since taking his advice I retain my food and get all the good out of it, and don't have those - awf ul hungry spells. "I changed from coffee to Postum without any trouble whatever, felt bet ter from the first day I drank it. I'm well now and give the credit to Pos tum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

THE 4 C'S IS GIVEN ALL IT ASKED At a Special Meeting of the Board of Aldermen Last Night this Corporation was Granted the Rip-ht to Cross Southern's Trai,k. There was a called meeting of the Board of Aldermen last night, to hear a petition from the Four C's Company relative to the Chadwick rnd Hoskins extensions, and also that to the Catawba river. The meeting was called to order at S:30 P. M. by Mayor McNinch. Mr. Latta appeared before the board and formally presented the following petition: "To the Honorable Mayor ana Members of the Board of Alder men of the City of Charlotte: "Gentlemen: In the extensive and important improvement now begun en route to Hoskins' Mill and with greater operations in contemplation west of the city, it will be necessary tor us to cross the Southern Rail way with our double track system l oth at South Mint street and West Hill street, and we ask that you i.ass an ordinance sanctioning our crossing at grade the said Southern Railway tracks at the two designa ted points and, with the desire to se cure safety to the public and avoid accidents on the part of our respect ivecompanies, I suggest the same rules now in force tinder similar con tions at South Tryon street and North Brevard street. We also ask to be allowed to lay third track on West Trade street tor a distance of 120 feet exclusive of curves, to be used as a lav-over switch as indica ted by the attached sketch. "Very respectfully, Charlotte Elec tric Light & Power Company. "E. D. LATTA, President." After the reading of this petition Mr. Latta arose and stated fully just what the Four C's wantea, and they wanted these rights. He asked that he be given a hear ing in regard to the crossing of the tracks of the electric cars over the C. C. & A. and the main lino ol the Southern on Mint street and on West Fill streets. Mr. Latta outlined his plans in a clear manner so that they could be understood. He said, that it was de sirable that the city co-operate with him in this work; that he wanted to do what was best for all concerned and to do that which would bring the least danger to passengers as well as others. For this reason he thought that rothing less would do than the ordi nance similar to that in force at the South Tryon and East Trade cross ings that the electric cars and the i ail way cars be required, each of them to come to a full stop. This is necessary in order that all acci dents may be avoided, said Mr. Latta. Mr. Latta also outlined before the board his plans for the . future. He said that the lines would go to the river at once, and that a double line would be built to Chadwick, so that this would not interfere with the river 'line. Also the Four C's Company will operate handsome ves tibule cvrs on the river line, some t;mes two or three together, and would make a fast schedule. Mr. Latta also asked for a switch or sidetrack on West Trade, about one-third the length of the block, be tween the square and Church street. This will be used for sidetracking the cars' on the new lines, so that they will not interfere with the city lines. On motion of Alderman Ward the board voted to grant Mr. Latta's re quests and City Attorney drew up the following ordinance, which was rdopted: "An Ordinance to Regulate the Stopping of Street Cars and Rail road Trains at the Crossing ol Mint and West Hill Streets. "Be it ordained by the Board olJ Aldermen of the City of Charlotte: "Section 1. That every railroad company whose tracks cross Mint and West Hill streets in tho City of Charlotte shall cause all locomotives trains, and cars, of evevry kind, run ning on said tracks to come to a complete stop upon approaching raid streets and shall require a flag man to go forward and give the usu al signal before crossing said streets. Sec. 2. That every street railway company whose tracks shall hereafter cross the tracks of any railroad com pany on Mint and West Hill streets, as aforesaid, shall cause all cars and motors of every kind running on its said tracks to come to a complete ttop on approaching said railroads and shall require its conductor or i.agman to go ahead of the car or motor and give the forward signal before it shall be lawful to move such car or motor across said rail road tracks. "Sec. 3. That every agent or em ploye of any railroad company, or ol: and street railway company who shall violate the provisions of ihis ordinance shall, upon conviction, be subjected to a penalty of fifty dollars. "Sec. 4. That this ordinance shall be in force from and after the first day of September, 1906. he Was Real 'Industrious. The Success Magazine relates a story of two Washington negroes, who meeting in the street, fell into a dis cussion of the peculiarities of a mu tual friend. Said one: "What kind o' a pusson is dat' man, anyhow? Seems to me he never do no work." "'Oh, he is industrious, all right," promptly responded' the second negro, "even if he don't do nothin hisself. Why only las' week dat man spent two whole days tryin' to get his wife a job." oe IN STRICT CONFIDENCE. Women Obtain Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Help. She Has Guided Thousands to Health. i How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound Cured Mrs. Alice Berry hill. It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling1 her the most pri vate and confiden tial details about her illness, and know that her let ter will be seen by a woman only. Many thousands of cases of female diseases come be fore Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail. Mrs. Pink ham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under hef direction and since her de cease she has been advising- sick women free of charg-e. ' Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con fidence of women, and every testimon ial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as she has been. Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyce Street, Chattanooga, Tenn., writes : Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " Three years ago life looked dark to me. I had ulceration and inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition. : " My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that if I was not op erated upon I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but I sent for the medicine that same day and began to use it faithfully. AVithin five days I felt relief" but was not entirely cured until I used it for some time. Your medicine is certainly fine. I have induced several friends and neighbors to take it and I know more than a dozen who had female troubles and who to-day are as well and strong as I am from using your Vege table Compound." Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills. If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always help ful. A MASONIC PICNIC. Big Gathering at Mocksville on Au gust 9 Mr. Z. V. Walser to Speak.

"We carry lots of .women clear to the top floor or at least several floors up and then they take the next eleva tor down without going three steps away from the elevator," declared the operator of one of the "lifts" in a big official building yesterday. "No, it isn't because they like to ride - in the elevators particularly. Why do they do it? To get the use of the mirors, of course. See those mir rors on either side of the elevator? That's what attracts them. A bit of wind will strike them as they turn the corner by a big building and then they imagine that, the r hair is badly disarranged and make for the nearest mirror, which is in the elevator."

Mr. Charles R. Watt died at his home on Race street Wednesday night at 10 o'clock; of typhoid fever. The funeral services were conducted at New Salem church, in Alexander county, yesterday after noon by Rev. S. H. Wiliamson, and the interment was at New Salem grave yard. Charlie Ross Watt was 23. years old. He lived at his home near New Stir ling church, in Shiloah township, till a few years ago, when he took a posi tion with Messrs.' J. K. Morrison & Sons. For the past two years he has been employed by the Evans Hard ware Company and was with them at the time of his death. Last April Mr. Watt married Miss Mamie Moore, of Stony Point, and the fact that he had been married only a few months adds sorrow to the announcement of his death. He had a great many friends in Statesville, being a young man of fine disposition and of worth. His ill ness was brief and his death was a surprise to many, as his condition was not considered dangerous 'till several hours previous to his death. Mrs. Gray Hoover died at her home in Shiloah township Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock, death resulting from ty phoid fever, and .was buried at Perth church, a mile south of Troutman, yes terday. The funeral services were con ducted by Rev. J. H. Pressly. Mrs Hoover was 26 years old and had been married four years. She is survived by her husband, her mother, Mrs. M. L. Lawson, and a number of sisters. Candy and the Flag. The following is accredited to the late Senator Hoar.

It sug gests nothing but checkerberry can dy."
