A COMFORTABLE HOME FOR
 WORKING GIRLS AT CHEAP RATES

Miss Laura D. Deazeale is the name of the young lady who is at present going through certain portions of the south as the representative of a federation of state organizations endeayoring to establish branches of the Young Women's Christian association Already this movement prom ises to be successful at Atlanta, and phil anthropic women are throwing their inf1u- ence towards broadening this noble work so that young working girls shall be bene- fited. It is a settled fact that home will soon be built at Atlanta where girls who earn their own living can board for S1.50, to s2 or $3 a month, according to their financial ability. The managers of this home have been selected, and the Atlanta Journal gives the following details regard ing this new enterprise. It says:
 Such a movement as this, to provide a cheap, first-class boarding house for work ing girls where they will be looked after not only in culinary way, but in a moral and social, should be encouraged. There is no doubt tfat it will be productive of grslat good. Moreover, as we sometim cs forget in our heat afusr moral results, the real good that comes from living in pleas amt circumstances and environment will also be accomplished. Life will lose some of its hardnsSs to the inmates and consis-
 
 character. There is an old saying that the meaneSt people are those who have been raised mean poor" This girls home will be a step toward lifting some of those young creatures above that possibility.
 In Boston uhere is such a home as this, where working girls and poor girls who have come to the city for an education are given cheap home, but one provided with every comfort. The girls have access to a library near by, or in the building possi- bly, there are pianos in the house and other luxuries. In return for the benefits conferred there are few rules the inmates are expected to observe such as being in the house at night by certain hour, con- ducitng themselves within certain degree of propriety, etc. The young women of this institution are devoted to 1t and have certainly received great benefit from the life in its walls.
 It is ito be earnestly hoped that Alt lanta, already in her Woman's club so given to generous work, will not be long in adding this great work to all her others.

MISS HELEN LONG AND
 THE SEA FIGHTER, KASAGl

Miss Helen Long, daughter of the secre- tary of the navy, will christen the first Japanese warship launched in the United States, on Thursday, the 20th, at Cramps shipyards. Miss Long was invited by the Japanese minister, Toru Hoshi to perform the ceremony of naming the ship. and with her fathers consent, she has accepted the invitation.
 The cruiser is to be named Kasagi, and for the first time there will be departure from the custom which has prevailed from time immemorial in launching ships, of christening the craft with the contents of a bottle of wine.
 The craft will be named according to Japanese custom, and, as she glides into the water, Miss Long will pronounce her name while loosening silken bag and re- leasing white pigeon. bird which is held sacred by the Japanese in such ceremonies.
 The new Japanese ship is one of the two ordered by the imperial government over a year ago. The other is being built by the Union Iron works, of San Francisco.

terested in legislation this session. The committee on military affairs is consider ing a bill providing for two additional reg iments of artillery. The proposition is strongly favored by the war department. These regiments are wanted to man the guns in the new Notifications planned and being built for coast defense. If the ap- propriation for them is placed in the reg ular army appropriation bill, it is likely to be stricken out on point of order. Should a separate bill for this increase be reported from the committee, it would be on the cal endar and could not be considered without Q special order from the committee on rules Its fate, therefore, is primarily in the hands of the leaders of the house. Once before this body, the bill would give rise to sharp discussion and probably pass Judging from the liberality shown by the senate in the appropriations for Notifications, 1t would readily pass that body.
 There are several vital measures before the committee on naval affairs. One is the personnel bill. It purports to be a set clement of the long-standing differences between the line and the staff, and is strongly urged by the secretary of the navy. It is said that its passage will add at least $600,0O0 yearly to the naval appro- priation bill. This increase, even if the bill should be reported from the naval com mittee. would undoubtedly lead to a bitter fight in the house. Its chances are injured by the needs of the navy in other direc- tl0nS. More COCKS are requ1reQ, entalllnS an expense of millions. The armor plate matter is unsettled, and three ships are now on the docks awaiting it's settlement before they can be completed. In the esti- nation of the statesmen of the house, docks and armor plate may be regarded as greater necessity than a reorganiza- tion of the personnel of the navy. There is today no United States dock in. which a first-class battleship can safely be over hauled.
 The struggle over the armor plate is be- coming complicated Members who never took an interest in naval matters are now advocating the construction of a govern ment plant Each seems to have a dis trict peculiarly adapted to the building of such plant. Some districts have a great depth of water, and others huge seams of coal and iron ore. There are so many avail able spots for the erection of such a plant that it is extremely doubtful whether the government will ever go into the business of manufacturing armor plate. Its experi- ence with it's gun foundry at Washington, at cost of s20 ,O00 900, is not encouraging.
 The condition of the Naval academy at Annapolis is another important matter. Some of the buildings have been con- demned, and others are extremely un- healthy. Their condition is a disgrace to the nation. For years large appropriations have been asked for the reconstruction of the academy. In no case have they been
The age-herald., 1898-01-18

granted. The navy department now recom- mends an appropriation of $43O,O00 to begin the work. It would probably take three or four millions to make the academy what it should be-the leading naval school of the world It certainly ought to be placed on par with the Military academy at West Point. The needs of the latter are provided in a separate appropriation bill. known as the military academy bill, and reported from the committee on military affairs, which also appropriates the army appropriation bill. The appropriations for the Naval academy are made in the naval appropriation bill itself, and their impor- tance becomes apparently insignificant in comparison with the enormous appropria- tions for the increase of the navy.
 Of Interest to Farmers.
 The committee on agric. |, also a problem before it. The florists nursery men, and seed dealers of the country are aroused. They are deluging members with requests to stop the free circulation of seeds by the government. There is no probability, however, that this will be done. The seed distribution will be continued, as the country members rule the roost and the city members are indifferent. The Sec- retary of agriculture himself has been a member of congress, and his relations with members today are far different from those of his predecessor.
 Such are some of the difficulties con- fronting the Fifty-fifth congress, aside from the regular appropriation bills. With the expenses of the government running forty millions of dollars behind the re- ceipts in the first six months of the pres- ent fiscal year, it seems safe to say that the leaders in the house will confine them- selves to appropriations absolutely neces- sary for the support of the government and switch aside all other efforts to depete the treasury Metaphorically, the speaker of the house is sitting on the government safe, with the combination in his pocket and his heels over the tumblers.

THE ORG AVIATION OF
 ALABAMA WOMEN JOURNALISTS

Referring again to the proposed organiza- tion of woman's press club in Alabama it must be acknowledged by all newspaper workers that the inauguration of the move- ment looking to this end Is of especial inn portance at this time, when women are De- coming such essntial factors in journalism
 In this state there are a number of brave' sensible women, who for years have nobiy done their part towards compelling recog- milton of the fitness of their sex for journai- istic work.
 Some of them have accomplished as much, in their especial lines of labor as any other feminine newspaper workers in any sec ton.
 Their influence has in many instances been circumscribed by environments which could not be changed, but what they have accomplished stands conspicuously to their credit with all persons familiar with Ala bama journalism.
 The band of press women in the state is growing in strength and influence, slowly but surely, and it seems that the period for organization should not long be deferred The first step in behalf of Alabama news paper women must be taken within the limits or the state.
 What is needed is an organized move ment which will result in permanent profit and advancement to the women journalists of Alabama, individually and collectively. The initial effort must be the banding to- gether of Alabama women, irrespective and independent of other women in other states The movement should be directed by the same commonsense and business methods as men evidence when they undertake an enterprise.
 Men have discovered long ago that in union lies power. and when they desire to accomplish anything for their particular professions, or business, they form them- selves into representative bodies, conscious of the fact 1t the world listens to that authority which comes from organized clubs that represent the strength of united effort. while it would turn an indifferent ear to the opinions of individuals however competent or talented.
 When the Alabama Womans Press club is formed it should speedily put itself in touch with the Federated Press clubs, which growing to be such important organizations. and the annual conventions of which tend to bring into close and im- proving relationship many of the bright women of the country.
 Georgia has had a Womans Press club for years, which is prepared to keep apace with other sections and to send delegates to any national or international convention of newspaper women.
 Alabama should have her Woman's Press club as early possible, and The Age Herald stands ready to do it's part toward the bringing together in beneficial associa- ton, the women journalists of the state.
 Expressions of opinion and helpful sug- gestions from any and all newspaper wo- men of the state on this subject will be gladly received.

 The meeting of the Derthick Music club, which was to have been held this evening, has been deferred a week. Next Tuesday evening at 7.3o o'clock MT. and Mrs. James Bowron will entertain the club at their home on the South Highlands.
 The Edgewood Literary club will meet Thursday afternoon at o'clock with Mrs. Harry Harsh.
 A New York exchange gives the following details of an unusually interesting be- trothal and approaching marriage:
 The handsomest man of New York has captured the richest woman of Philadel- phia.
 Alexander Van Rensselaer, is poor. but be- longs to an old family. Sarah DrexelFel. whom he is to marry, Is famous for her art and wealth.
 The honeymoon will be spent on the brides yacht. the finest owned by a woman in America.
 It is a love match. It is in every way a rare matrimonial event, one which will keep the gossips busy for months.
 The engagement is of great interest to the world in general, and of special inter est to yachtsmen. A yacht was really re- sponsible for it. Mrs. Fell is one of the half dozen first-class yachtswomen in the United tates. She took party for trip around the world. and MT. Van Rensslaer was one of the guests. Afterward they be- came engaged.
 Mrs. Sarah Drexel-Fell is handsome, witty, original, independent, fabulously wealthy widow. She is generally admitted to be the best dressed woman in Philadel- phia. She belongs to a family almost every member of which has shown a strongly marked Individuality. The Drexels do everything thoroughly, whether it be driv- ing coaches or endowing churches.
 Mrs. Fell is daughter of the late An thony J. Drexel, who was the richest man and ablest. banker in Philadelphia. From her fathers estate she derives income of s4000 000 year, and to supplement this, her late husband John R. Fell, left her $3 3000,- 900.
 In Philadelphia everybody knows the age of everybody else, and it is violating no confidence to mention that Mrs. Fell is S6. She, however, does not look more than 30. She was married when a very young wo- man, and has a daughter who will come out in few years
 She is one of the six women members of the New York Yacht club. The privileges of such members are only available when they are on a cruise. They cannot use the clubhouse, and they cease to be members when they cease to be yacht owners. Alexander Van Renssaer is a member of the ancient Knickerbocker family of that name. It is a family which has enjoyed a larger degree of feudal state than any other in the northern part of the United States.
 He was graduated from Princeton in 1871, and is member of the University club of this city. He has spent much of his life abroad, and has never been regularly en- gagged in any business profession. Art, literature and travel have been his chief interests in life.
 In personal appearance he is strikingly handsome. He is tall, lean and broad shouldered His complexion is bronzed, and his hair thick and iron gray
 Fashionable society is justified in regard ing him and his bride as the most interest ing betrothed pair of the season.
