MINISTER BROWN coNFsssEs.
Admits Charges Are True and Makes .
Plea for Mercy.


San Francisco. Jan 25.--A big sensa-
t;cl was sprung at the meeting of the
Bay conference of the Congregational
church. The meeting was for the pur-
pose OF expelling Rev. Charles o.
Brown, the unfrocked minister who was
afterward given a church In Chicago.
The sensation came in the shape Of
confession and plea for mercy from
Rev. Mr.. Brown. Browns resignation
Is also said to have been sent to the
Chicago church. The following extracts
give the gist OF the confession:
"A small part Of the accusation
against me was true. For any wrong
which had done i had sought forgive
ness. both of God and man. / had
turned utterly and with adherence from
II long before ! was publicly accused.
Such were the conditions prevailing In
San Francisco, so awful was the storm
which threatened. that, overcome for
the time with unworthy fear. i denied
any wrong, but all should be believed
There were several times during the
progress of the first council when j
would gladly told the brethren all.
would not now wish to be understood
as accusing the young woman who
begged me to refrain. / am sure you
will impute nothing to the kind and
Christian friends who have stood by
me. They believed my public state
ment 1t has been a snare that i could
truthfully deny SO much. But. at last
have repudiated the folly of building
n havoc of untruths for lie TO live in.
Unto you my brethren OF the Bay con-
ference. i confess the grievous wrong
and through you ! confess to the whole
sisterhood OF churches"
Brown says that he was overcome
with remorse on his way east. and then
wrote out a confession. but after being
so kindly received in Chicago. he re-
considered his determination. The COM
mittee considered the confession and
reported unanimously in favor of drop
ping Brown from the roll.
Brown still has friends in the confer
ence and they were treating him len
iently I'm view of his repentance. The
matter had not been decided upon at
midnight. Later the decision was made
to drop Browns name from the roll.
though the conference extended him It's
sympathy. Brown was present in per-
son. He had been here for some days.
though keeping close to a house across
the bay, and his presence was not
known until the meeting. He said he

The New President of
 The Alabama Federation

The new president of the Alabama Feder- alton of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Erwin Craig head. of Mobile. has shown for number of years great interest in club work, and generally in all things where womans in- fluence can be exerted for the good of the community and the state. She was an early. although not an originative member of the Mobile Reading club, whose first president was the late Mrs. John R. Tomp- kins one of the most lovely and accom- plished of Mobile women. Mrs. Craighead succeeded to the presidency of that club upon the death of Mrs. Tompkins, in 1895. She was active in the work of getting to- gether an Alabama exhibit of women's work at the Chicago exposition. making a tour of Alabama for that purpose, with Mrs. A. M Fosdick of Mobile. In 1895-96 she helped organize the St. Ceeelia chorus, and the same year the Clara Schumann h. strumental club, and was president at the same time of both clubs being at that time also president of the Reading club. This year she organized the Mobile Art league. with classes for the study of art, sand whose recent art loan exhibition was a pleasing surprise to the lovers of the beautiful in Mobile She is a useful mem- ber and treasurer of the Female Benevo- lent society, which provides comfortable home for a number of aged women of that city. In 1s096 she was invited to address the Federation of Women's Clubs at its Mont gomery meeting. She did not at that time belong to any strictly women's club of It, erary aims; but the Shakespeare club being organized, she was chosen a delegate to the Anniston meeting of the Federation, where she was elected corresponding sec retary This year she was the unanimous choice of the Federation for president. Mrs. Craighead is very magnetic, intellectual woman of about 40 years of age, daughter of Major W. Hooper Harris of Nashville, of which city she is native, graduate Of Potapsco Institute, Maryland and wife or the managing editor of the,Mobile Register. She has been living In Mobile since 1885,

The Historic Sword of
 Ensiqn Lay Il. Everhart

The historic interest attached to the sword of Ensign Lay Hampton Everhart, who is one of the brave officers of Dewey's immortal squadron, is even greater than was stated in last Sundays Age-Herald
 The sword, as far as family records can ascertain. was borne first by Ensign Ever harts great great grandfather, Captain Bonner, during the revolutionary war of 1T6 Lieutenant Henry Clay Banner, great grandson of Capt Banner, carried it through some of the most sanguinary en- agreements of the civil war in defense of the confederate states until he was killed at Fredericksburg, Va. Lieutenant Ban- ner was the last of the name in direct line of descent, who could bear it, and since the battle of Appomatox this sword has been sacredly kept by the sister of Lieutenant Banner, Miss M. J. Banner, of Decatur, Ga, until she presented it to her nephew, Ensign Lay H. Everhart, in 1S90 just previous to his embarlxing on his first cruise. That this priceless family relic around which cluster the traditions of a brave, heroic ancestry, has been worthily bestowed in giving 1t to Ensign Everhart the story of Dewey's victory at Manila stands in splendid convincing evidence.

.sz=------BY MRS. oEoRoE Q. BALL---~s~ssv


Notwithstanding wars, and rumors Of wars;" regardless of the fact that the great naval sduadrons of the republic are standing in menaeing proximity to Spanish territory, decisive engagements are hourly expected. Birmingham society had a very gay and festive season last week.
 Every evening there was charming so- cial function given in honor of lovely and fascinating young women who are the guests of friends in the city. and Birming- ham society was at it's very best during the six days of the just gone week.
 Monday evening Mir. and Mrs. Charles o. Locke gave their unique car excursion card party complimentary to Mrs. Charles Cowan, of Memphis, and Mrs. Charles Cald- well, of Bainbridge, Ga.
 Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jemison entertained at a delightful card party in honor of the Misses Searcy. of Tuscaloosa, and Miss Margaret Shook, of Nashville.
 Miss Bertha Woodward on Wednesday evening gave a very large and handsome card party to Miss Nora Leary, of Atlanta.
 Thursday evening Miss Madge Parsons entertained at cards complimentary to Miss Mary Clare Mflner and her beautiful guest. Miss Helen Gunter, of Montgomery.
 Friday evening the Southern club gave an elaborate card party. and Mrs. Paul Freeman's dancing clasz enjoyed cotillion at the Volunteers armory which was very laregly attended.
 The Jefferson Cotillion club had it's first summer dance at Lakeview Thursday evening, and there were several smaller gatherings which were unusually delight ful.
 The present week does not promise such @ constant, exciting whirl of social pleas ure, but Birmingham society can be de- pended upon not to stagnate or grow mo- notonous as long as there are so many lovely visiting girls making the social at mosphere fragrant and luminous with their presence.

What sweeter seed of humanity would they care to SOW or in what soil would they blossom to richer love or fuller patriotism? l have taken the liberty of writing you about this work, believing that shall have your sympathy. etc.
 The time has arrived in the history of Alabama women's clubs when the influ- ence of club women will be thrown on the side of all questions which touch the we'll being of the homes of the state. Surely nothing can come closer to the mothers and children of Alabama than fhe demand for a better and broader educational system. This shall come with the insistent labor of progressive citizenship: but immediate results can be reached by ready response to the above resolutions on the part of every Alabama club woman.
