The New Club Movement.

There is a quiet agitation beginning with some of the prominent up-to-date clup- women of the city. to influence femlnlne sentiment towards the organization or large woman's club, after the fashion or those of Memphis and Atlanta, which have proved such notable successes. Nothing has so fully emphasized the desirability or such organizations as the late position taken by the Atlanta Woman's club at the biennial convention at Denver.
 Only four years old the Atlanta club had grown to such robust impressive propor- tions under modern methods, and pro gressive policy that it was able to furnish the president of the general federation of Women's clubs because of its influence, and power.
 It is certainly time that Alabama women should encourage that spirit of advance fnent which desires to keep abreast with the most approved womens movements of today.
 With very little trouble and very little sacrifice of personal prejudices, the To- cal federation could be converted into woman's council similar to that of Mem bhis and, yet keep in tact the separate clubs which have naturally become so hear and dear to the individual members.
 The local federation meeting oftener, per- haps ,once month. as the woman couh- Gil of Memphis, with enlarged powers and a Wluef Helu Ol uSGlulutSo, WOuiu oNSciti7 plish great results towards bringing the Club wome nof Birmingham into closer and more sympathetic touch with each other and would also give them a certain degree of strength as a large organized body, which can come in no other way half so effectively.
 What the outcome of the new movement may be, no one can yet prophecy, but as it means great things for Birmingham wo- men there can be but little doubt that an .F Of a city will sympathize with it and will even tually lend their personal aid towards it's final accomplishment.
 Birmingham women cannot afford to finger and loiter in club realms, while those of other cities like Memphis and Atlanta Are in touch with the best organized fenni- nine effort and endeavor in every section Of the country.

An Alabama Girl at Harvard.
Montgomery friend writes:

A Montgomery Iflenu writes.
 Having survived our usual yearly dose of commencement exercises it may be pleasant by way of variety to hear how a Harvard commencement appears to an Ala bama girl. We quote the following ex- tracts from a letter:
 'Friday was class day. The exercises began in the morning, but as we did not intend to make an all-day and nights af- fair of it. we did not start out until half past one, going first to the Pi Ota spread" given in the gymnasium, which was dress Cd all in greens, small pine and fir trees filling in the spaces. There was music and dancing al lthe afternoon, but we staid only few minutes and went on to mem- prial hall, which is immense, but there was crowd enough to fill it. The statue of John Harvard stands at the back, and this end Tas lighted with Chinese lanters and small tables were placed for refreshments, mak- ing a goood place to cool off.
 You have heard of "the treei" Well. tree was hung with flowers for which the seniors scrambled. This grew to be so tough performance that it has been aban- doned, and instead boquets are banked around the base of the statue, and the seniors in sap and gown march around in dignifed manner and select a boquet each. Seats like those in a circus are ar ranged on three sides of the statue, and tickets sold for these. One of the alumni made an address, and then the fellows gave their different cheers, cheers for the professors, cheers for foot ball. cheers for bas ball. cheers for celebrities, etc.
 Then we went to the Theta Delta Xii fspread"-and back to memorial hall to dance. The grounds were beautifully ilu- minated. never had a better time in my life-my card was full, and my escort, a Kentuckian, was charming.
 wrote you the Dorchester Yacht club to give "a shirt waist and duck trouser" dance complimentary to Louise and me. They have cute little club house built right upon the waters edge. It was too hot to enjoy the dancing, so we spent most of the time on the harbor. The night was beautiful, the moon was full, and the yachts anchored farther out in the harbor looked like so many ghosts. There was such feeling of quiet and dead stiffness broken only by the music from the club house.

The Hobson Umbrella
 Is the Very Latest

''The Dewey umbrella five days ago was the latest fad. but now it has been super ceded by the Hobson umbrella,' said Mr. Ferd Marx yesterday. "The new design is a very novel thing, and it is in line with all the other fads of the hour such as the Dewey cocktail and the Sampson punch The handle of the Hobson umbrella is made in the shape of the hilt of a sword, and for all intents and purposes looks like one Thecovering is composed of the national colors, and the whole thing presents the idea of patriotism. When rolled up tight ly the Hobson umbrella might be mistaken for sword in it's sheath. and with a little gold cord attached, the military air is great ly increased. The pattern has fairly cap tured New York. The first one was brought to this city today.

GOOD APPOINTMENTS

The governor yesterday made several appointments which will commend themselves to the public by reason Of the sterling character Of the men named. MT. T. w. Pemberton, terri torial treasurer. is one Of the solid business men Of this town who has large interests in the valley. He is thoroughly versed in financial mar agemert and will make an ideal treas urer. The capitol site commission has been reorganiZed entirely. the new board being composed of E. B. Gaze of Prescott and Walter Talbot and F. H. Parker of this city. All are men of high character and good judgment and there is no doubt that the capitol which will be built under their direc- tion will be a credit to the territory and to the present administration.

WAR TAXES TO STAY.

I believe that some of the features of the war revenue bill now most un- der fire will eventually be retained. I refer particularly to the stamp taxes upon documents. Taxes of this kind are the most easily collected of any and I think they will be retained by general agreement, especially as the revenue from them will probably be much greater than what was estimated. People will soon come to regard them ss they now do the postage stamp, and the use of that is not felt to be either hardship or an annoyance. As an economic principle the direct or inter ual revenue tax gains in standing as experience demonstrates the inability Of the protective theory to do all that is claimed for it, while the inadeQuacy Of the Dingley bill to provide suffi- cient revenue is already officially ad- mitted-Patrick A Collins in BostoI.

A GOOD THING.

It is gratifying to learn that there is enough interest in commercial cir cles over the coming Paris exposition to insure creditable and representa- tive exhibition of American goods. AL ready, it is reported, applications for space exceed the amount allotted, and many more requests for space are ex- pected in the next few months. Those who have our interests in charge will have to try to secure some increase in the space previously assigned Reasons why we should be we'll represented have become more potent since our lit tie war with Spain. We have com pelled the respectful attention of the civilized world as never before. Other nations will examine our exhibits at Paris with increased interest and we must rise to the requirements and CD portunities by making the best and most comprehensive exhibit that is possible.

The democrats in their convention yesterday denounced pretty nearly everything under the sun and brought up with a demand for home rule. Home rule such as statehood will confer is what the republicans of this territory are striving for With a republican congress and republican administra- uon, with Arizona in growing favor in the east by reason of her magnificent showing in the war, the election of
 republican delegate to congress would bring statehood in very short order. Anybody who possesses a particle of political sense can see this. The con- dltlons were never more favorable to statehood. Yet the democrats with characteristic dullness cling to their worn out "l6 to T. slogan and call for home rule.' If they were sincere, if they believe the new state would come
 under democratic domination, if they
 really desired Arizona to become state, they would turn in and help
 bring about statehood. They are not sincere, they have TO hope of control i ling the new state. Therefore they content themselves with obsolete cam
 paign cries and ask for a grade of
 home rule' never yet granted to a | territory and which, if granted, would
 put statehood off twenty years at least. 1 We are convinced that the democrats
 of Arizona have reached the acute
 stage of mossbackism. They are a

 General T. J. Morgan, Yonkers, N. Y:
 Ny Dear General Morgan: Thanks for your kind letter. My campaign which has just closed was the begin ming and the end of the war in Cuba. You are very right when you say that none of our war campaigning present. cd the difficulties that did this; cer- tainly nothing in my experience could compare with it, and that is the uni versal report Of all the officers of the war who are with me. I think taking a fortified place and 12,000 prisoners, and securing the surrender of 12,0OO more, with an army of 1S,000 men, only LOGO Of whom were in line, was a very great success. .---.
 My illness was merely temporary, and the result of the excessive heat A great deal of sickness here, but, for tunately, so far but few deaths I hope we shall be moved soon, as that is the only thing that will prevent serious loss. Very sincerely yours.

ZINE FOREIGN VIEW.

Ee is an intelligent critic of the Spanish navy who arrives at the con clUsion reached by the correspondent who described the battle of July 3 for the London Daily Telegraph. The cruisers under Cervera's command were not greatly inferior in general fighting strength to the American fleet. in some respects they were in posses sion Of great advantages over the American vessels. In spite of all that has been said in behalf of the arma- ment of the latter, the fact must be recognized that they were not armed with the best of modern guns. And they were, as fleet, subjected to the rules governing squadron maneuvres; that is, to the regulation which makes the speed of the slowest craft in a command that of the fastest for all collective movements. Cervera's ships ought to have been much faster in ac- tion than they were. They would have been with American engineers on board. Supposing that they had also been provided with American gun ners, one can see at a glance what ex- cellent qualities the four first class armored cruisers would have displayed in battle. There is probably scarcely an American sailor who does not be- lieve that Rear Admiral Sampson, Commodore Schiey, Captain Evans or Captain Philip could have escaped from Santiago if they had manned the Spanish ships and if the Spaniards had been on board our vessels and had fought them, as they exhibited such incapability of fighting we'll with cir cumstances as they were.
