There ought not to be such an over
whelming sense of depression and weak
ness as woman feels at this time and there
would not be if she was in perfectly strong

treasury can be avoided in that way, the
 depository plan would neither be necessary
 or desirable" Upon this subject my re-
 concentrations read as follows ITO serve
 the purposes of the law, a sufficient mum
 Der of Repositories should be established,
 and so conveniently that the cost of trans
 hitting the funds to and from the deposi-
 tories will be saved" My idea is that one
 depository should be established in each or the important centers, so that every sec tion having banking facilities will be reached.
 As to your advocacy of issueing warrants in order to effect quick disbursement or the funds, you must bear in mind that taxes become delinquent on the first Of
 January, after which time interest is charged on all uncollected taxes, ana licenses are due and payable from January first to fifteenth. So this brings into the treasury a large part of the funds during the months of January, February and March, and by July first, when tax collect ors are required to make final settlement, about all the revenue has been paid into the treasury, which runs the balance up during these months, after then the bal ance begins to run down until the taxes of another year reach the treasury. These funds cannot be immediately disbursed for the reason that all money has to be drawn from the treasury on auditors warrants, based on appropriations due and payable at certain intervals flor instance, the fn- terest on bonded debt and university fund is payable semi-annually on the first of January and July, while appropriations to the A. and M. college, insane hospital, in- stitutions for deaf and blind, agricultural schools and the public schools are payable quarterly on the first of January, April, July and October. Salaries, sheriffs claims, nicidentals and other like expenses which embrace a small portion of the states ob- ligaticns, are the only payments due monthly. These payments, whether due semi-annually, quarterly or monthly, ac- crue at times when there is little or no money coming in to meet them, say from July to January, and it becomes necessary to accumulate funds during the first six months of the calender year to meet ap- propriations for the last six months.

TREASURER GEO. W. ELLIS
Writes Reply to Editorial in The Age
 Herald of Recent Date.

Montgomery, October 20.-(Special)- State Treasurer George W. Ellis has pre- pared the following in response to and in explanation of recent statement in The Age Herald:
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 In your editorial of the 18th instant, com menting upon the treasurer's report, you say: "He 0he treasurer) would have a depository bank secure the state against loss on any deposit of the states money by placing in the hands of the state treas ury bonds, government, municipal or cor porate, of sufficient amount. The bond provision of such a change in the law should be carefully drawn. No risks should be taken. As the de- pository banks would gain at least some interest on any sum deposited 1t is plain that it is reasonable to make the safe re- turn of the money upon demand precedent condition. All straw bonds should be barred" In this l fully agree with you that mo risks should be taken, and that all straw bonds should be bar red" By reference to my ecommenda- tions as to the character of security the
 state should require, you will find the fol- lowing: "Of course every safeguard should l be thrown aroun it, and the bank in | which state funds are kept should l be required to deposit in the treasury vault, government, or state bonds, the stability of which cannot be questioned" I have been informed by some of the strongest banks in the state that they can and will meet the requirements of such recommen- dations.
 Again you say: "Whether the state banks can readily and conveniently handle the funds of the state depends largely, of course upon the division of it among them One, or even two or three, would not be equal to the task. Possibly the deposit
 plan could be avoided by measures similar to the school warrant proposition, through
 which quick disbursement of the state
 would be effected. If congestion of the

 We have worn it down on the neck or at the back of the head for so long that it seems almost second nature to most of us, and now we are to have a change. Madame Pompadour is partly responsible for this, but not altogether. We can wear our little pompadour and still fasten our locks at the nape of the neck, but it is decreed that this shall not be. We are to wear it high.

Home-Made Cooking.

''The woman in New York who eats her luncheon around has learned to view the sign Homemade Cooking with an aver sion which is only lessened by turning and running away for fear some hypnotic power may be exercised and she may be forced to partake against her will of that much maligned food.
 'sBut an enterprising woman who keeps open house on a side street right off Sixth avenue, in the busy part of the shopping district, really lives up to her open profess sion of faith. A visitor sauntered in last week, tired and willing to be cheated rather than look further. She was pleas antly surprised by the honey aspect of the room Into which she ushered herself. A number of well-dressed, pleasant-faced women sat around at various little tables, chatting and having a good time over their food-a sight which isn't often seen in the cheaper eating houses of the city.
 "The stranger was left to her thoughts for a little time. Finally one of the habitues of the place turned and asked:
 First time here?'
 "She nodded assent.
 ".You'u have to run in and help your self her guide directed.
 "She followed her gesture and walked into the annex, pleasantly fitted up with samovars of coffee and tea, heaps of home made pies-really home made, one glance was sufficient to assure that-and great steaming pans of broiled fish, baked beans clam chowder and other savory food. She was instructed to take her plate, knife fork, spoon, cup and saucer. and, with the aid of pretty white-capped maid, who accompanied her about the rooms, she was helped to an assorted quantity of edibles which made her feel like singing Mid pleasures and palaces all the time she was consuming them.
 sShe made one or two excursions into the neat annex and when she came to pay her bill found it amounted to the muni- ficient sum of twenty-five cents, the limited price of each helping being five cents, whether of cake, pie, meat or fish. Good digestion can only wait upon appetite when assisted by bright surroundings and good cooking"

Meeting of the Board of
 Directors of United Charities

A meeting of the board of directors of the United Charities was held yesterday after noon in the office of the United Charities On motion, Mir J. A. VanHoose was called to the chair. The following committee was appointed on nominations for officers for the ensuing year: pr. Amzi Golden, Mrs. H. II. Sinnige and Miss Belle Dangaix. The committee presented the following names for re-election:
 President Mrs. L. Crozier French; vice president, Mrs. Thomas Ward; secretary, Mrs. E. H. Cabaniss; treasurer, Miss Julia Williamson.
 These ladies were unanimously elected. and the retiring secretary requested to mo- tify them of their elections.
 The election of superintendent, and the selecting of the executive board was post poned until the next meeting
 Mrs. French will call a meeting of the newly elected officers on Monday. The meeting adjourned to meet the econd Mon- day in November.
 The ladies who were elected officers of the United Charities are so well known in Bir- mingham that those who have the interest of philanthrophy at heart will feel that the great success of the United Charities under the past management will be continued under the new officers.
 The newly elected president, Mrs. l.. Crozier- French, although she has resided Tn Birmingham for a brief time. she has already become unidentified with many in- terests. She is one of the most brilliant women of Tennessee, and one of the most enthusiastic members in philanthrophy. She Is a woman of judgment, justice and great executive 1DilitV. In her home III Knoxville she has long been a leader in all public-spirited work. In Tennessee there are any number of practical results from Mrs. French's work. It was through her efforts that the university doors were opened to young women, five years ago. The free kindergartens established in Knoxville by the Kings Daughters were the result of the earnest solicitations of Mrs. French. She was at one time state organizer for the Woman's Christian Tenn perance union. Another result of her work is the reformatory in Knox county Tor youthful criminals. Aside from the phil anthropic work, Mrs. French has national reputation as an organizer.
 The following extract from Little Rock paper will be of interest just w, in view of Mrs French accepting the presidency of the United Charities:
 Mrs. L. Crozier- French, chairman of the Woman's Congress of the Tennessee Cen tennial exjosition, to be held at Nashville in the fall of 1896, Is one of the most infu- ential and representative women of Ten nessee. She makes her home in Knoxville, where she Is a leader in all public-spirited work. She possesses noted ability as an organizer, being the founder of the Ossoli Circle, as well as the Womans Educational and Industrial Union. She has a host of friends, who speak enthusiastically of her earnest work and complete lack of self aggrandizement."

ury from January 5th to July 31, 1898, ranged from s210,0O0 to $534 900, the highest point being reached March 18th, just before the payment of school and other appropria- tions maturing on the first of April. Since the last of July this balance has constantly decreased until now. At the close of bus1- ness on yesterday October ID the balance in the treasury was just $l8,416S3, and this balance will continue to run down until the taxes of another year begin to come in. From this you will see the necessity of coi- lecting funds in advance to meet the de- mands of the state. While you can readily see this necessity, you can also see the wis dom of keeping this large amount of money in circulation, which can be done with little or no risk to the state, by requiring the de- posit of such securities as mentioned here tofore.

 State Treasurer.

Our dear little short woman will come to the front stately under this coif, but what of our giants? Do let us hope that discretion will be used in the adoption of this tower-build- ing or our men will be absolutely dwarfed. Six inches is a great deal when added to the head of even a short woman.
