there are many whose shyaesa prevents
them from taking the step.
Members of the gentler sex should
cast aside conventionalities many
times. believe that if il were under
stood that women should proposals
well as men-there would be so per cent
more marriages. Also, I believe that
the marriages would be happier, if the
women proposed rather than the men
in many instances, for a woman's in
sbnct is a great factor. Men fuay make
mistakes, but women do 50 rarely.
My wife occasionally says to me:
Don't you have anything to do with
that man I may have associated con-
sfderably with him, but I soon discover
that my wife is right"
Mrs. Lille DeVereux Blake is inclined
to believe that DR.. Laws position on
the subject Of popping the question Is a
good one in certain eases.
THE trouble with some Of our finest
young women" said she to me, '1s that
they are SO afraid Of being misunder-
stood that they do not give sufficient
encouragement to young men. Natural
~ it would be very distressing to a girl
to have a young man feel that She
wants him to marry her when he may
not be in love with her. But there are
many cases where the girl is so difident
that she will not give sufficient en-
enlargement to a young man.
Take the case of a wealthy young
woman who is admired by a poor young
man. He is a worthy man, but his
hand Of a wealthy girl. Why should
not the young woman propose?
Many Of the sweetest and loveliest
young women are too shy. Their diff
1dence is mistaken by young men for
GOODNESS. These young ladies should
overcome their undue shynesss and give
more encouragement to the men"
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton also be-
Heves that women should have the
conventional right to propose as well
as men She thinks that, generally
speaking, members of the fagr sex can
and do pop the question" with their
eyes, and in many other coy ways, with
out the Formally Of words.
Women" said Mrs. Stanton, Should
be Independent and not dependent. We
should stand equal with the men in
everything. If a woman shoEId have a
house, and a bank account. then she
would have, a perfect right t. propose.
I believe that all women should try to
be supporting. If there should be
more independence of spirit women
would not occupy the inferiqr position
that they do. But for a WOMAN with
out independent means to propose is
simply a case Of a person asking an
other to clOthe, feed and house her"

YOUNG WOMEN ARE TOO SHY
LFrom the New York Herald

From the New York Herald
DR.. Hartland Law. Of San Francisco,
who has been lecturing at the Berkeley
Lyceum for the last two days on"High-
er Physical Conditions believes that
women should propose, as well as men.
He thinks that men have had too
much of a monopoly, and that it is
about time to enter upon a. new depar-
ture.
DR.. Laws views have created a stir
in feminine circles for he declared in his
lecture that 50 many fine women would
not be unmarried if the custom Of the
men popping the question" were not so
strong.
Now, this conventional method, said
DR.. Law to me yesterday, "of men pro-
posing is all right up to a certain point,

ELECTION ORDERED
 IN THIRD ALABAMA
Ma jor Smith Is the Only Candidate Out for Colonel-Major Kyle for Lieu
 tenant Colonel.

An election for the three highest officers in the Third Alabama National Guard has been ordered for Monday, July II. Orders have been received by all the officers of the various companies to that effect, issued by Adjutant-Gener Brandon in Montgomery. The officers to be voted for are a colonel, lieutenant-colonel and major of the First battalion.
 So far as can be learned, the only candi- dates for the first two positions are Major T. o. Smith of this city, for colonel, and Major O. Kyle, of Decatur, for lieutenant 70 colonel. Major Smith commanded one of the battalions in the old Third Alabama before the war, and was ranking major in command of the Birmingham battalion of the First Alabama Volunteers during the war. Major Kyle was not in the national guard before the war, but he went into the volunteer army as captain of the Joe John ston Rifles of Decatur, and was soon after wards appointed major of the Third battal- ion of the First Alabama. Both of these officers are splendid military men, and are very popular both with the officers and men.
 But the ranking major of the reorganzed Third Alabama will not be without great deal of competition Among the candidates that have been mentioned-and there may be others-are Captain T. T. Huey, of the Bessemer Rifles; Captain Arthur Harrison, of the Oxfor@>company Lieutenant R. L. Brown, of the Florence company, and oth- CTS.
 The voting will be conducted as in for mer elections; the commissioned officers of each company will meet in their respective armories on the day named and each cast his ballot. The votes will then be sealed and forwarded to the adjutant- generals of- flee in Montgomery, where they will be opened and the result announced.

ROLLING MILLS RESUME
Southern Office will Probably be Estab-
 lished Here.

Work was resumed in the Birmin gham rolling mills yesterday. The mills shut down last Saturday for the summer holi- days but full force of men were on hand yesterday morning and the plant was again put in blast, and it is reported that for nal transfer of the property to the Re- public Iron and Steel company will be made one day this week.
 It is rumored that this company will es- tablish a southern office in Birmingham, and offices have already been rented and will be fitted up at once w. H. Hassin- ger, southern manager, will have charge of the office, and will have a large force at work under him. The various superin- tendents will make their reports to the Birmingham office if established. As the transfer is about to be made, there is con- siderable speculation among the various officials throughout the districts as to who will be decapitated, if any. It is generally believed, however, that the present officers will be retained.

WAIF FINDS A HOME
The Little Murray Child Apprenticed to
 Mercy Home


 The little Murray child who was sent to the Mercy Home from the police station some time ago was apprenticed to that in- stitution yesterday until she becomes IS years of age.
 The managers of the Mercy Home filed petition to this effect in the probate court and the case was tried before Judge Stiles yesterday Nick Murray and his wife resisted the petition, but after hear ing the evidence the judge decided that they were unfit to rear the child properly and allowed the little girl to be appren- ticed
 Some of the police officers say that Nick Murray and his wife are frequently ar rested and the child is always brought to the police station with them. On one oc- casion it was intoxicated from liquor SO that it could hardly walk, and the officers say morphine has frequently been given the little girl by her parents.
 The managers of the Mercy Home will now take charge of the little waif and rear her so that when she is IS years old she will be able to earn living
 When the trial was ended the little girl was taken back to the Home, where she seems to be perfectly contented.

WILL ESTABLISH
 FREIGHT BUREAU In Hands of Board of Trade Freight Committee. WILL PUT MAN AT HEAD OF IT He Will Look After the Interests of tho Merchants, Both As to Outgo-
 ing and Incoming
 Freight Rates
WILL PUT MAN AT HEAD OF IT

Through the efforls of the freight rate committee of the Board of Trade a freight and transportation bureau will be estab- lished in this city, which will be in charge of commissioner, whose duty will be to look after all matters of rates eflectlng the merchants of Birmingham, both in and out.
 A meeting of the wholesale and retail merchants will be called within the next few days 10 promu9gate the plan and to make the necessary arrangements to put it in operation.
 The commissioner who has been secured. subject to the action of the interested mer- chants, is young man of wide experience in the business, who has made a special study of the basis of rate making and who Is in eyerywise qualified to fill the position to the best possible advantage.
 s.ifccis the aeillns irice
 Every merchant manufacturer, producer and shipper in the city is interested in the work of the bureau, inasmuch as the selling price of all commodities is governed by freight rates on either the raw material into the mill the finished product out, and all are therefore interested alike.
 In speaking of the matter yesterday, T. l.. McGowan, a member of the freight rate committee of the Board of Trade said:
 The freight rate committee is alive to the necessity of active, intelligent and well directed work if Birmingham is to take her right position in the commercial world. There is no question that Birmingham's position industrially is as much the results of the railroads of nature. Without the development by the railroads her great ness would not have been Sknown to the world. Bifmingham's commercial import ance will be recognized and admitted throughout the states of Alabama, Missis- slppl, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, if you can interest the railroads and convince them that the business men are bright and active and have the push and ability to make Birmingham an im- portant and attractive trading point
 The railroads protect Birmingham against any discrimination, industrialy speaking, and make such rates as will per init her industries to sell their products. The railroads have never regarded Bir- minsham as a distributing point for gem eral merchandise except for the immediate surroundings, and largely on this account have failed to give her the advantages she is entitled to, but if she satisfies them of her ability to extend her trade she can court on their hearty cooperation

NEGOTIATIONS
 ARE PENDING For Consolidation of Southern
 and L, 6 N, TOGETHER IN MANY SCHEMES The Best Opinion is That the Coming Together Will Take Place Soon After Spencer Returns
 from Europe.
TOGETHER IN MANY SCHEMES

An Associated Press dispatch from Louis- mored there that J. M. Culp, traffic man. ager of the Southern railroad, with head quarters in Washington, will become traffic manager of the Louisville and Nashville.
 The dispatch would seem to indicate that MT. Culp will leave the Southern railroad to accept similar position with the Lous- vile and Nashville. Instead of that being the case, The Age-Herald has it from an apparently reliable source that negotia- tions have been in progress for several months looking toward a consolidation of the Southern and the Louisville and Nash vile into one great railroad system. It was learned yesterday that the controlling in- terest of the two roads expect to have matters in shape to bring about the con- solidation in the early fall.
 Spencer Is Now Abroad
 Samuel Spencer, president of the South ern, is now in Europe, but is expected back in a few weeks, and the best opinion is that the consolidation is probable soon after his return.
 It is known that since these negotiations were begun, several months ago, that the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville have been mutually interested in many de- veopments in the south, and have worked jointly toward many common ends.
 While no official announcement will be made until the consolidation is thoroughly effected, it is at this time even beyond the probable stage.
 It is probable that MT. Culp will then be traffic manager of the entire consolidated system.

BOARD AUTHORIZED
 LOAN OF SfO,OOO
At Special Meeting Mayor was Empowered to Borrow Money for 90 days
 at 6 Per Cent.

In accordance with the resolution passed by ths board of aldermen Wednesday night to the effect that temporary loan of S10,0G0 at not more than per cent. interest should be negotiated by the mayor in or der to meet immediate obligations on cer- tain street improvements which the city is now making the board held a called meet ing yesterday morning and formally au- thorized the loan.
 It will be remembered that there was a hitch in the sale of city improvement bonds a few weeks ago, as the party who bid on the first lot backed out leaving the city tisements and new negotiations for their sale In the meantime, there are a num- Der of street improvements being carried on, and the 600 loan mentioned above is absolutely necessary. It is thought that this loan will be negotiated through the Peoples Saving bank.
 The following is the ordinance which was passed by the board yesterday morning: An Ordinance to Provide for the Ne
 gotiation of a Loan of Ten Thous-
 and Dollars for the Use of the City.
 'Be it ordained by the mayor and aldermen of Birmingham, That the mayor is hereby authorized to negotiate loan of $10,0O0 for the use of the city of Birmingham: that said loan shall be for ninety days and at not to exceed per cent. interest.
 Be it further ordained That the mayor be authorized to execute a note for said sum in the name of the city.
 This ordinance becomes effective on and after its passage"

"WANTED-A WIFE"
Made Large Audience Roar At East
 Lake

The Chapman-Warren Comedy Company presented "Wanted-A Wife." at East Lake last night to a large audience, and it can be safely said that this performance con- tained more refined comedy, that was really appreciatve, and displayed more artistic talent than anything ever seen on that stage. The performers are all artists, and the play was presented in nothing short of a gilt-edged manner.
 Mir. Chapman, Miss Warren, and, in fact, every member of the company, were seen to advantage, and it would be hard to find an audience better pleased than the one that left East Lake last night after the curtain fell on "Wanted@A Wife!'
 Earl Adams, in his rag-time speciality, was compelled to respond to four enthusias- tic encores.
 This bill will be presented again tonight, and the first matinee of the season will be given tomorrow afternoon at 4:9O o'clock.
