THE HOUSEMAID.

Every woman likes neat, attractive
| looking housemaids. A humble home
is given an air of being well ordered
by trim, we'll behaved parlor maid
English housewives are most particu-
lar about the appearance of the girl
who attends the door in houses where
there is no page or footman. The
housemaid and the parlor maid ia
many American homes have now been
arrayed in the neat little caps and
the long aprons that make the Eng
lish domestic so attractive. Very
handsome are some of these uniforms.
In England they may be bought in
the shops, but in America it is nee
essary to have them made at home.
The material is usually white lawn.
The newest and trimmest aprons have
embroidery trimmed bibs. The apron
is but little frilled and tucked because
an over-dressed maid is in as bad
taste as an over-dressed mistress.
ORANGE YELLOW IN FAVOR.
Orange yellow is prominent color
both in dress and millinery this sea-
SOL. Its shade is brilliant, and not
only does 1t appear among silks, bro
cades, ribbons, flowers and plumes,
but it shows itself in the exhibit Of
the latest and most expensive French
and English corsets and petticoats Of
satin or brocade, tea gowns, silk
stockings and lingerie of every de-
scription. a handsome bodice is Of
burnt orange taffeta, the waist from
the yoke down being made in alter
nate clusters Of fine tucks and APP
plique insertion Where the bodice
joins the yoke are triple revers of
silk, edged with three fine tucks Of
white taffeta, and the top rever is
covered with applique lace. The
yoke is circular and in clusters Of
wave tucks with a narrow insertion
between the clusters, anu the sleeves
are small, with pointed decorations.
NOTES.
A novel hat has a regular cascade
OF velvet loops at the back.
1t is an evidence of remarkable self
control not to buy at a bargain sale
something for which you will never
have any use
A woman must pretend to be very
brave, but she must admit, If she is
honest, that it is horribly spookey
ouj alone at night.
AS long as a man is in love with a
woman he considers her beautiful, but
he quickly discerns her faults when
they have a falling out.
4 curious thing about the present
day couture is that hair that looks

taken in arranging 1t has generally

they can only get occasional peeps
through curtained windows than they
ever do when the same line of con-
duct goes on in public view.

Jackson & Co.'S stock Letter
(By Priv

(By Private Wire to Jackson & Co.) =
 Birmingham, November 15.-Sentiment to- day was mixed. There was absolutely nothing in the news to warrant aggressive action in one direction or the other, all though 1t was generally conceded that reaction was due, and naturally the bulls were not inclined to assume new obligations pending recession of some sort. Sugar and Atchison preferred at times held the undivided attention of spectators. The former was conspicuous for its e1ratic movement, while the latter showed strength on the revived story of the coming dividend declaration. The bears found weak spot in Manhattan, and a concerted attack req suited in point break. Traders apf peared to have finally appreciated the very poor showing made by the September 30ths quarter statement of earnings. which indi+, cated that the company had earned nothing on the stock, and had failed to earn fixed charges by $20062. Rock Island showed relatively the greatest decline for the mo- ment, presumably for the reason that in
 the recent advance this particular issue showed the greatest amount of strength.
 The movement in Northern Pacific Com- mon was rather disappointing to the bulls. rumors of inside selling a moderate scale being in circulation. London figures will largely depend upon the immediate future course of the market. The International shares were taken hold of reluctantly. Lon don is noted for taking profits at unexpect- ed times, and Waf1 street bears will in all probability lay considerable stress upon foreign selling should 1t appear. However, the more confident interests aver that with the European political situation in its pres- ent unstable condition, London's stock mar ket operations are likely to be influenced by unimportant and short-lived factors.

Walters Great Fight

Montgomery, November 15-(Special)- The unanimous selection of Charles E. Waller, of Hale, by the democratic caucus for speaker of the house closes one of the most remarkably successful campaigns in the history of Alabama politics.
 When MT. Waller announced his candi- dacy last spring there were more than a dozen very prominent democrats who were ambitious to hold the office, among them such popular leaders as Osceola Kyle, of Morgan; Will Brandon, of Tuscaloosa; Ed, Robinson, of Mobile; T. L. Bulger, of Tal- lapoosa; Tom Hef1in, of Chambers; Judge Hubbard, of Pike, and others. MT. Waller has not only won the fight unanimously. but succeeded in gaining the hearty and enthusiastic support of his candidacy Of all the above candidates, with the excep- tion of Bulger and Hubbard, who withdrew from the race at the last moment.
 Charlie Waller is one of the truest, most lovable men in all Alabama. He is all positive and absolutely frank in the treat ment of everybody who approaches him. As a leader in politics he maks no promises unless they can be fulfilled, and never keeps despairing fellow in suspense.
 In his candidacy MT. Waller drew to him the support of North, East, South and West Alabama-an uniting on the Central Alabamian. He will be the speaker for the state of Alabama. He represents all shades of the party, and all section of the state will share equal honors while he is presiding. As a party man he is uncom- promising, yet absolutely fair. His home people delight to honor Mr. Waller. In church, social and political matters he IS always at the front and is ever euthusi- astic in all his undertakings. He is an up- right, honorable, Christian gentleman, yestryman of St. Paul's Episcopal church, and the state treasurer of the diocesan missions. He is a delegate to all the state gatherings of his church.
 In politics he Is continuously honored now serving his fourth term in the house. Other positions of honor have been his. Many times chairman of his county execu- tive and campaign committees, as well as long service on congressional and state committees He has been delegate to several national conventions and was one of the most active members of the Chicago convention which nominated MT. Bryan for the presidency.
 MT. Waller is yet young man, just in the prime of life, and as a lawyer he ranks among the first in the state. KERSH.

MARIA TERESA
 CANNOT BE SAVED The Captured Spanish Cruiserra
 Total Wreck. M'CALLA'S - EXAMINATION Reports to Washington That He Consid- CTS it Impossible to Rescue the Yes
 sel From Its Position on the Rocks.
M'CALLA'S - EXAMINATION

Washington, November 15.-The navy de- pertinent today received a cablegram from Captain Mccalla, dated Nassau, stating that he had arrived at the scene of the wreck of the Maria Teresa with the tugs Potomac and Vulcan.
 The first thing Captain McCalla did upon setting foot upon the deck of the Teresa was to hoist the American flag. After careful examination of the stranded ship and her situation upon the rocks and careful consideration of the instructions great interest taken by the nation and gov ernment in the fate of the Teresa, Captain McCalla says he regrets exceedingly to ex- press the opinion that it is hopeless to ex- pect to rescue the. ship. His opinion, he says, is confirmed by such expert engineers as Hobson, Blow, Craven and Crittenden.
 The vessel is stranded in from 16 to 21 feet of water, and rests on a rocky reef. The tide rises and falls in the ship below the protective deck. Captain McCalla says he can best describe the condition of the ship generally by stating that she is "tele- scoped."
 The Wreckers Reticent
 New York, November 15-A representa- tive of the Chapman Merritt Wrecking company was asked today about the port that the contract of the company with the government made the former responsi- ble for the Spanish cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa from the time she left Santiago until she should reach Norfolk, w. Va. He said:
 We have nothing to say on this matter. All that we know is newspaper talk. Be- sides, It is not time for the public to know anything of the matter"

MORROW CASE
 HAS BEEN ADJUSTED
Former Sheriff Paid State $500
 and Got a Receipt.
WAS SETTLED BY A BOARD
Is the Result of an Examination and Report by MT. Purifoy, Saying Sheriff Morrow Was Due
 the State $3,3OO.

Montgomery. November 15.-(Special.)- Dr. George M. Morrow, former sheriff of Jefferson county, today paid into the state treasury check for $660, which settles in full the claim of the state against him. It will. be recalled that some two months ago Examiner of Public Accounts Purifoy made g report on the books of the sheriff of Jefferson county during pr. Morrow's term in office, the report finding him due the state about $S,S00. In a supplementary report about $500 more was charged against the former sheriff pr. Morrow disputed all of the claim except about Sy00, which amount he immediately paid into the treasury. The matter of the claim was then referred to the board composed of the governor, auditor and attorney general, which reported that on matters of clerical errors and misconstruction of some law points that pr. Morrow was due the state the sum of $1,5O0, less the $sOO previously paid into the treasury by him. The amount charged against pr. Morrow by the state examiner was in round figures $s,S0O, which has been settled satisfactorily to the state at $1 ,5e0.
 The following, is the official report of the board:
 State Board of Compromise,
 November IA, 1898. The claim of the state of Alabama against George M. Morrow, former sheriff of Jef- ferson county, coming on to be heard by the Board of Compromise, the following is agreed upon, viz:
 After due consideration of the report of examiner of public accounts and after hear ing the explanations and defenses offered in behalf of the said George M. Morrow it is the opinion of the board that at the time of the filing of said report of the examiner of public accounts said Morrow was justly and properly due the state of Alabama the sum of $1,5 800 after the allowance to him of all proper credits; and he having since the filing of said report paid the sum of $900, therefore the sum of $500 is found to be the proper sum now remaining due from him to the state of Alabama Therefore it IS ordered that the said sum of $500 be ac- cepted in full satisfaction of said claim. And this certificate shall be authority to the auditor to certify the said sum of mon- ey into the state treasury and for the ceipt for same.

Jackson & Co.'S Cotton Letter

By Private Wire to Jackson & Co)
 Birmingham, November 15.-At the outset today the bulls were doomed to disappont- ment. Liverpool failed to fully respond to our improvement of yesterday, and in con- sequence the market opened at a decline of to points. The trading basis follow ing the call was to points under the level attained at the close last night. Elk tensive selling orders were received from Liverpool during the forenoon, but this cotton was quite readily absorbed by local traders and southern representatives, and therefore failed to appreciably affect the market. The local traders were slow to follow Liverpool in the selling movement, inasmuch as port receipts were smaller than predicted. Weather reports were con- f1icting. and advices from print cloth mar. kets both here and abroad were most grat- flying. s---e-s -..----.Isfs.

 Birmingham, November 15.-The top heaviness that was indicated yesterday was exemplifed in the weakness of the list this morning, and the cliques were com pelled to resort to manipulatve tactics to hold prices Metropolitan and Tobacco were selected as the best, as a known short in- terest is in the former. An advance of 3 per cent. was scored. American Tobacco also advanced per cent, but it met with so much stock on the advance that the gain was about wiped out. While we believe the market is broadening and ultimately stocks will advance further, we still believe in conservative concessions, and think stocks can be bought cheaper before the week is closed. The volume of trading continues, and one favorable feature is the increase In commission house orders.
