An Appeal to the Women
 Of Jefferson County


 For some time past the thoughtful and earnest women of Birmingham have felt the need of more complete club organi- zation than that offered by our several literary circles. The limited number al- lowed our smaller clubs. the social feature attached to many of them, debars from membership many women of our city and county quite as interested in intellectual and spiritual development as any who work in clubs already organized.
 Our recently formed 'Woman's club is intended to interest every woman in Jeffer- son county whose moral status renders her appreciative of self-culture and mental growth. We earnestly solicit membership from the city and from all suburban towns; we feel assured that once interested in the work, every woman will pursue 1t to her own advantage and to the benefit of her friends and associates
 The work which 1t Is proposed for this clubs members to undertake will be divid- ed into departments under the following names: Home, science. current topics, philanthripics, physical culture. etc. By this arrangement 1t will be possible for any member of the club to work in a field where her interest centers, or where her own deficiencies suggest means of im- provement. small monthly fee, within reach of every woman's means, will be charged.
 This regular income will enable us to secure comfortably furnished rooms, and so afford place for study, rest or recrea- tion to all members of the club.
 meeting of the Woman's club has been called for o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Commercial club rooms, and every wo- man in the county disposed to interest her. self in the mental and moral growth of the community is cordially invited to meet with us. If you not join us in our work, please meet with us anyway, and hear how earnestly we intend to labor for our own improvement and the good of others. Sure- ly it is cause worthy of your considera- tion. LEILA BYRD HALEY

Paris, November S.-A new fad has taken possession of Paris society.
 Not that a fad is an unusual thing in Paris, for it is a city of fads.
 In the streets there is the widest excite ment for the political tumult is on; but the homes are quiet and Paris women care not one whit because of the Dreyfus case and the resignation of the French ministry. It is claimed that French women arc heartless and do not feel the woes flnan- cially and politically of their men, but a close observer will find that their heartless- ness s only superficial. They have a bright pleasant way of pretending" although they mey be ever so sad at heart.

Court Suggests Rapid Transit.

Sigmund Smith and George Thompson,
young men who looked if they had seen
better days, were resting in a Baltimore
and Ohio freight car last night, when Po-
liceman Nussbaum called at the car door.
Having a good time?" the officer asked.
The men were so much surprised that
they were hardly able to make a response.
'I haven't done anything" one of them
managed to say, land I'm waiting for O
train," said his friend
Thompson has been hanging about the
city for a week." said the officer. in Judge
Taylor's court this morning. II don't know
anything about the other man.
What have you men to say fo- your
selves? ?' the court inquired.
''I belong in Baltimore CITY," said Thomp-
son, land have money enough to pay my
Way out Of the District"
..And, your honor" said Smith, I'm from
Chicago, on my way to Fredericksburg"
What do you men want to do:''
1--WE want to leave town."
1T am going to gise you a chance to leave
the city right away '!iJudge Taylor sail.
"The city will certainly be petter off and
your departure will be less expensive than
your detention"
The court directed that the young men
be released on thetr personal bonds, and
suggested to them athat 1t would be well
for them to go fast enough to raise a
cloud of dust.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

NEW NATIONAL THEATEE.-"CouldI I
Only Pick the Winner" is one of Billy
Emerson's songs, and If Billy ever had any
difficulty in naming the winner he has "a
sure thing in view In putting his faith In
the new Cleveland Wilson minstrels being
first under the wire" and giving away
weight and dust to the field. The big min
strel show. which it is said eclipses all other
productions of the burnt cork class, will be-
gin an engagement at the New National
Theater tonight, playing out the remainder
of the week. George Wilson and Billy
Emerson are speedy comedians and the fun
will be fast and furious with Waltz Me
Again" and the big Sunfiower'' on the
ends in the dual first part. Cleveland never
was at loss for ideas and his latest is
the presentation of the Wilson Minstrels
and the Cleveland MinStrels on the same
stage at the same time-"for the minstrel
stakes" At first view 1t looks as rather
risky, an over-expe nsive experiment, but
the whole history of all amusementS goes
to prove that the real genuine. great big
gigantic attractions are the ones that make
fame and fortunes and it is the deserving
entertainments tfat almost invariably win.
BY this coalition of Clevelands Minstrels
and Wilson'S rewly organized venture the
public will be given both a surprise and
rare treat. George Wilson and Billy Emer-
SOC have both won high henors in minstrel
Sy and toured the land with organizations
of their own, but by this latest arrange
ment above noted they will both appear on
the opposite ends of the first part for the
first time in their triumphant careers. AS
both comedians are prime favorites and
"a whole show their enthusiastic welcome
is insured everywhere. Wilson and Emer-
son are two great artists of widely different
methods and of enormous personal popu-
larity.
CHILD OF THE REGIMENT. The
Jaxon Opera Company at Glen Echo, which
has been so successful in it's production of
II Trovatore during the first part of the
week, will tonight give that delightful and
tuneful opera Daughter of the Regiment"
an OPERA too, that has not been heard in
this city for many years. 1t is promised
that this production will be fully up to
the standard Of its predecessors, which is
all the musc-loving public can ask.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Louis Kaufman Charged With Re-
cefvinE Stolen Property.

Louis Kaufman was today held by Judge
Mills in 81 600, bail for the action of the
grand jury to answer the charge of receiv-
ing a lot of jewelry amounting to over
81 200, knowing that II was stolen.
The evidence brought out by Prosecutor
Mullowny was that on the night of May IL
the residence of Mr.. W. H Butler was
burgfartzed of the jewelry in question by. 1t
Is supposed, man who is now in prison in
another city for a crime alleged TO have
been committed there. The matter was
reported TO the detective bureau and De-
tecttve Weldon assigned to work it up.
From Information gained by Mr.. Weldon
the latter arrested John T. Butts, former
convict, and a female friend of the latter,
Lille A. Dennis, as Ii was believed they
had guilty knowledge of the robbery. Butts
was taken before Inspector Mattingly,
where he, after some questioning. said he
would give information that would lead to
the recovery of the jewelry. and informed
the officials that he had sold a portion of
the stolen property to Mr.. Louis Kaufman.
Detective Weldon went to Mr.. Kaufman 8
house and had talk with the latter which
led to the recovery from a pawnbroker's $
place of one of the earrings alleged to have
been lost by Mrs Butler. and where 1t had
been sold by Mr.. Kaufman. At the re-
quest of Detective Weldon Mr.. kaufman
accompanied the officer TO the office of
Prosecuting Attorney Davis. where he was
brought face to face with BUTTS, and the
latter declared he had sold several pieces
of the stolen jewelry to Mr.. Kaufman. Mr..
Kaufman denied Butts statement. but Mr..
Davis ordered Mr.. Kaufman's arrest on the
charge of receiving stolen goods.
Mr.. Leon Tobriner counsel for Mr. Kauf-
man, claimed that the diamond in ques-
ton had belonged to Mr.. kaufman for
many years and he would be able to so
prove before the higher court. He also
offered to introduce testimony to prove the
good character of the accused, but Judge
Mills said he would concede that Mr.. Kauf-
man was man of excellent reputation.
