A MYSTERIOUS CRAFT.
The Scipio to be Sold to the Highest
 Bidder.

New York, March so.-The Times says the steamer Scipio a craft from nowhere, bound to nowhere, flying no flag, owner less and crewless, is to be sold to the high est bidder at the Brooklyn navy yard by the United States government.
 Soon after the begiI ming of hostilities with Spain, a hip in perfect trim from stem to stern, with furnace fires burning, steam up. bni without soul on board. was found adrht off the coast of New Foundland, found by a United States ship. The crewless ship was the Scipio.
 She flew no flag and these was not so much as a scrap of paper to be found aboard her, to indicate where she sailed from, where she was sailing to, or who owned her. Here, then. was mystery Of the deep.
 The Scipio carried a cargo of coal, but never did such strange things come out Of a cargo of coal as came from the depth of the anthracite piled in the hold. There were guns, fine, modern affairs of English make, Maxims, Hotchkiss cannon, field pieces and other ordinance, together with ammunition.
 Just how the Scipio came to be found adrift with such an opportune cargo by United States steamship has never been told officially.
 The Scipio has been at the Brooklyn navy yard since she was picked up on the high seas.

tie begins. Showers of bouquets were showered from the sidewalks the balconies and windows at the carriages, who re- turned the attack with goodwill, all kinds of beautiful flowers were used as weapons until the roadway was almost covered with them. I saw bouquets of flowers fall under horses hoofs that could not be pur- chased in New York for 8 each. The turn out that obtained first prize this year was indeed worthy and deserving. It belonged to Madam Chonbeur. It consisted of Russian sleigh with three horses harnessed in tandem fashion; with a polar bears head in front and a huge eagle lowering overhead, on a snow-covered branch. The servants that rode the horses were ali dressed in corresponding costumes; whilst behind, two men dressed in the uniform of the Old Guard of the XV century carried battle axes. The entire carriage was of white and pink camelias and the general effect baffles description.

No Rasket Ball Tonight

The basket ball game for the champion ship of the south, which was to have been played in Chattanooga tonight between the teams of that city and Nashville has been postponed until next Friday night, so that the heavy business rush which always comes on the first of new month, would not interfere with a large crowd of root ers'' going down from Nashville to yell for their team. In the meantime the friends of the Birmingham team will be held in sus- pense. for on That game depends Birming- hams chances for the championship. If Nashville wins, its victory gives 1t the championship. But if Chattanooga wins all three of the teams are again tied and Bir- mingham will have another chance.

Flower CarnivaIs in Other Lands.

The following description of the flower fetes in Nice will be of especial interest to society in it's preparation for the floral parade. It is from a correspondent who witnessed the Carnival festivities at Nice in February last.
 In addition to the Carnival parade of battles of confetti, come the world famous Battailles de Fleurs, which take place along the Promenas.e des Anglais On both sides of the magnificent avenue from the public garden to the Boulevard Gambetta raised platforms are placed on which the public can sit and enjoy this attractive and novel sight. The entire length of the promenade is fenced in to keep the public out for, mark you, the city of Nice compels its citizens and visitors to pay for this grand display. The cheapest seats will cost you eight francs, and if you want the best ten to twelve francs will be demanded from you. All the carriages that enter for approba- tion have to pay an extra fee of twenty francs. Nearly four hundred carriages, brakes and turnouts were in competition for the sixteen prize banners this year, and every seat on the promenade was taken to witness this great show, each occupant loaded down with small bouquets to pelt this superb cavalcade with. At O'CLOCK a cannon is fired and the fete commences. From the Public Gardens slowly advances a troop of mounted gendarmes, followed by the decorated carriages they slowly pass in review down the promenade and return past the TTbune's stand, where the judges sit. The vehicles are kept at an equal distance, as much as possible, by mounted ''piqueurs' costumed in red coats, white brooches and silk hats. They look quite Frenchy and assume the air of general in opera bouffe. Military bands are stationed at intervals along the line of march; on every hand were bright colors, flashing jewels and lovely women. merry laughter and life.

Surprise in AIabama's Club Circles

The March number of Womans Work, published in Montgomery, contains an off, cial announcement from Mrs. Evelyn H. Fitzpatrick in which she makes free gift of Woman's Work to the Alabama federa- tion. The announcement is as follows
 Tn order to meet the expressed wish of the clubs of Alabama to have an official organ of their own this magazine was ten- dered to the state federation and this offer having been accepted, now announce that the ownership will be formally transferred at the meeting in April at Mobile. After this issue the management will be entirely under the control of the federation"
 Mrs. Erwin Craighead, the president of the federation and editor of the federation department of Woman's Work, says edi- torially that it is a great pleasure to be able to announce that the Alabama Fedora tion of Women's clubs now has an official organ. A majority of the clubs have cor dially endorsed Womans Work for that position, and not one positive vote against it has been received"
 It has been known by a number of club women that Woman's Work would be deed- ed to the federation at the approaching meeting. The official statement, however, to this effect was in the nature of a sur prise to a large majority of women inter- ested. It was understood some time ago that Woman's Work would become the off, cial organ of the federation, but later on the New Era, of Birmingham, announced itself as aspirant for the honor.
 Later developments showed an effort to consolidate the two papers. This was not effected. short time ago the New Era officially stated that it was 0 candidate for the federation organ. Upon this comes the statement that Woman's Work will be formally presented to the federation next week, ito be used in the best interests of the work as the convention in Mobile may deem best and wisest," the deed of gift having already been made and accepted by the federation.
 The matter is being discussed very gen. erally here in view of the fact that the New Era will continue to press its claims. Club circles in the city with a clear under standing of the matter have understood that no action could be taken until the federation meeting. A second effort will be made at the federation to consolidate the two papers
 Mrs. Fitzpatrick's unselfshness in the matter is commended by all. Woman's Work was a private enterprise which she has firmly established and now presents it to the federation Mrs. Craighead the presi- dent of the federation is recognized as one of the most successful presidents in it's his- tory. She has brought the federation to the close of another brilliant year, and is in every way capable of directing its policy along all progressive lines. In accepting Woman's Work Mrs. Craighead gives some valuable suggestions in regard to the duties of clubs to the official organs.
