Having time and again read the riot act to the thousands of sound money men in Alabama who are supporters of Captain Johnston, we insist that the Ad- vcrtiser should explain to those men why it was not a sacrifice of principle" on the part of that paper in 1894 to make war on its home man. who was q sound money man, in the interests of a man not it's home man, who was a free coinage man. If fl was not sacrifice of prin- .irle then for the Advertiser to pursue that course, why is it sacrifice of prin- ciple now for sound money men to sup port Captain Johnston? If it was a sac rifice of principle then. what right has the Advertiser to be attempting te~ lec- ture sound money men for doing now as it did in 1894?

Granting that the single gold standard idea will prevail in all the doubtful states, the free coinage people will then have a ma jority of the delegates composing the convention

personalities, charging Captain Johnston with wearing false mask and making other unparlamentary' references, in which he uttered his contempt Of course the courageous Clarke would not say anything behind mans back that he would not say to his face. How could debate progress in that style? MT. Clarke seemed to have just arisen from ai reading of Captain Johnston's even-tem- pered, withal pungent, comprehensive and, so far as pertained to his course in state politics, absolutely unanswerab ble speech made at Thomasville Saturday, and it's perusal had left his fur badly ruff fled and his glad CD blue eyes sadly jaundiced, This part of MT.

 MT. Richard H. Clarke and a branch of the Montgomery postoffice are still marching in the Tennessee valley From the reports sent in by the branch of the postoffice to the postoffice itself the march is one if triumph. The leader of the host has all ready caught cold, but every day, and sometimes twice on the same day, he makes the greatest, most profound and telling speech that the branch of the Montgomery postoffice ever heard. The promptness of the branch of the postof- flee in reporting the fact that the blue eyed boy caught cold encourages us to believe that if the postoffice candidate were to catch any delegates in the valley he would also report that fact promptly.
 The distinguished gentleman who in augurated the custom of stump speaking over the state in pursuit of delegates to the state convention in 1850, and who met with such wonderful success at it as to enable him to turn up at the state con- vention with the delegation from one county solid and one majority of the delegation from his own county, was heard on the musings in Troy the other night in the interest of the Advertisers candidate for governor.

FAIR DEVOTEES OF WHIST
Washington Ladies Defeat the
Quaker City Players.
Won the Intercity women's Tourna-
ment and Bring Home the
Handsome Trophies.

The three days intercity woman's whist
tournament, at the residence of Mrs. t.
H. Andrews OF Philadelphia, ended yes
terdayin favor OF the Washington team.
This victory was presaged almost from
the start of the tournament by the tril-
liant playing OF the Washington ladies,
and they carried off the trophies with a
score of eight points. They also Carried
Off the four Individual souvenir trophies.
The result OF the contest is fraught
with greatest interest, and while il has
caused the Philadelphia teams sume
agrin to see the prizes leave Philadel
phia they agree, with great unanimity
that they had better come here than any
other place on account OF the eclat their
location here will produce. Washington,
however, cannot rest secure in the Uiti-
mate ownership OF the trophies until she
has vanquished all the teams winning
enough points in this tournament to give
the right Of challenge.
The resolutions for the formation of the
Woman'S National League were offered
during the afternoon by Mrs. William
Henry Newbold and at once adopted, and
a motion passed making Mrs. Andrews the
chairman Cf Committee of five, to he
selected by herself, To communicate with
the clubs of other cities and States upOa

The play throughout the interesting tour
nament was by the Howell-Aiitchell sys-

JEWISH WOMEN TO MEET
First Convention Will Be Held in
New York.
Council the Offspring Of Congress
of Women II cid During Worlds
Fair-Its Objects.

New York, Nov. 14.-The convention OF
the National Council OF Jewish Women
Will open tomo orrow afternoon in the
Tuxedo, Fiety-ninth street and Madison
avenue, and will continue until Friday.
1t is the first convention of Jewish women
to be held in America.
The labors OF the council are along the
lines of religion and philanthrophy. The
work in religion includes lectures and a
study of the Bible, while that in phan-
thropy involves prevention rather than
alienation Of suffering and want, and
the organization of charities. One pur-
pose OF the organization is to root out
the spirit of skepticism which is spreading
among the youngest Hebrews.
The council is the offspring of the con-
gress of women at the Columbian Expo
sition in 1893, and is connected with the
National Council of Women. The tenn
porary organization was effected by Mrs.
Hannah 6. Solomon, as chairman of gen.
eral committee, soon after the Congress.
Her efforts brought about Jewish wo-
mems congress at the parliament OF re-
ligions at the Exposition, and the perma-
nent organization which resulted from
the Jewish women's' congress was the
National Council.
1t now has total membership of 5000,
with forty-six sections. two of which are
in Canada. Its officers, who are residents
of Chicago, are:
President. Mrs. II. Solomon; vice prest-
dent, Mrs. E. Mandel; treasurer, Mrs. II.
j. Selz; corresponding secretary, Miss
Sadie American: recording secretary, Mrs
7. j. Wolf. Eighteen States are rep
resented in the council, and each has G
vice president.
Among those who will read essays are:
Mrs. Nellie L. Miller, Memphis. Tenn;
Mrs. Rachel Sulzberger, New York; Mrs
Eta L. Nussbaum, Marion, Ind; Mrs
Ellen NJ. Henrotin, Chicago; Miss Rose
Sommerfield, Baltimore: Mrs. Sophie G
Axman. Kansas City; Miss Lillian d. Wald,
New York; Miss Elizabeth Hirsch.ield,
Buffalo: Mrs. Henrietta G. Frank, Chicago;
Miss Clara Block, Cincinnati, and Mrs.
Henry Hahn, Philadelphia.
