A Series of Studio Teas
 To be Given in January

Mrs. J. B. Raulston and Miss Carrie Hill have established themselves very costly in a studio on the top floor of the Commercial club building, where they will have their classes in china painting, oils and water colors. Mrs. Raulston and Miss Hill con- January, when the art coterie in the city, and those interested in art matters will meet informally There was a small but delightful gathering in their studio yeste-- day afternoon, and the friends who drop ped in accidentally were charmed to hear that series of studio teas were being contemplated
 Mrs. Raulston has filled the cabinets with her beautiful work, and the walls are an endless study in water colors, black and white drawings and landscapes in oils by Miss Hill. Adjoining this studio is that of Miss Woods formerly of Chicago. Mrs. Raulston, Miss Hill and Miss Woods ex- hibited their work at the fair and carried off any number of blue ribbons. Miss Woods is a portrait painter. and also ex- hibits examples in typography.
 Mrs. Raulston, who came to Birmingham direct from the Chicago studios. is, in ad- dition to her exquisite talents, one of the most charming and attractive women, and Miss Hill, a charming Birmingham girl, with her great success as an artist, is so full of enthusiasm and imbued with ideals, that visit to their studio is one of the most delightful occasions. To be al- lowed to know something of the real life in artists studio. to wander at will among all the collections, to look across the house-tops and be told that the light is really very fine, from this window, to sip tea from a blue and gold cup and talk of the old masters is, I assure you, very delightful in this studio, which these ar lists have taken for the winter.

The Matinee Girls and PadereWski.

The matinee girls of Gotham and Pad erewski are thus written of in a New York paper:
 The Amazonian army of Paderewski ad- mirrors swept down upon Carnegie hall yesterday afternoon, carried the ticket takers intrenchments by storm, charged down the aisles en masse, took the ushers at the point of the umbrella and within five minutes after the feminine advance guard had been sighted every seat was captured from front orchestra row to the back bench of the gallery.
 The pianist has had many great audi ence at his recitals and the ladies have al- lowed their enthusiasm to run riot in the past over his doings, but yesterdays re- cord was quite up to the top notch of any thing of the kind that has been known heretofore A feminine audience finds it difficult as a rule ito make very much of noise, but the Paderewsh variety can get up quite a racket one way or another. They tried more kinds of ways than you can imagine yesterday, and five dreamy minu- tes of subdued Chopin would be followed by storm of appreciation that would have done credit to a ward primary indorsing favored son of the district for an office full of perquisites in the city hall. Such a friendly row as they raised!
 After the lengthy programme was finish ed-cvery number had been followed by a racket that threatened nervous prostra- ton in many household today-the ladies rose and made rush down front. There in solid mass, they stood and "had him out" times without number, while he bow ed and bowed and bowed, with smile the sunlight of which seemed to Illuminate and make more glorious the aureole of hair that simply framed his handsome head as with halo.
 Finally, of course, he had to respond to the demands to play some more please, oh, please" and he did so, while every woman stood ecstatically transfixed, unmindful even of the awful fact that some one was standing on her train. Then the racket broke out again, and encore pieces and rackets followed each other un- til seven added numbers had been played.
 Dusk was coming on when 2119 women, limp but happy, emerged from Carnegie hall, after having been on the rampage at a Paderewski matinee recital.

HACRUM'O COMING
 CAUSING INTEREST
The Department Ignorant of
 What Will Transpire.
HIS COURSE IS PECULIAR
If the Consul Does Not Give a Satisfac- tory Explanation He May Not Continue in the Service
 On German Ship

Washington, December 2S.-The case of Consul Charles F. Macrum, the Un-ted States representative at Pretoria, who an- sisted oa being relieved at the time the South African crisis became most acute, is assuming additional importance as MT. Nacrum hears home
 The understanding at the state depart- ment is that he is not coming by way of the English ports, but is on a German ship, which comes through the Mediterranean, end thence direct to this country, Ghe trip taking about six weeks from December IS tast the date of his sailing from Lourenzo Marques.
 In the present aspect of the case, there Is little doubt that unless the consul pre- sents ample explanation for his course, he will not continue in the consular service
 It has been reported that the mystery surrounding his departure has been cleared up by letter from him to Representative Taylor of Ohio, who represents the district from which Macrum comes, and who se- cured his appointment as consul. But MT. Taylor said today that he had heard noth- ing from Macrum, except indirectly Through his letters to relatives.
 These give no cause or intimation of the cause of his return, but speak of the ex- citenent incident to the war and the hur- ried preparations on both sides. There is nothing, however, 10 show a pro-Boer or anti-Boer inclina,ion, nor Is there any dis cuss,on of the political aspect of the war.

Marriage in tn. Philippines

Washington, December 2S-General Otis has issued decree authorizing the cele- bra ton of civil marriages in the Philip pines. He cabled Secretary Root to that effect today and the secretary promptly approved the action, Heretofore all mar riages were celebrated by the Catholic church, so that Protestants and non-Chris- tians were prohibited from marrying. The decree does not interfere with Catholics who may be married according to their own rites, but extends the privilege of civil marriages to those who desire it, just as is practiced in the United States.

 What are you talking about?" asked Grain.
 ''Horses," said Blackburn.
 "Oh," remarked Grain, why don't you talk about something worth while? Why don't you discuss literature or something to improve your minds?'
 "Literature?' said Blackburn. What kind of literature do you reconfmend?"
 ''I like the poets" answered Grain. "1 am particularly fond of Tennyson and Longfellow"
 "Longfelow," interrupted Colonel Pep per. suddenly taking an interest in the con- versation. "Oh, yes, know Longfellow. He was the greatest horse ever bred in Ken lucky"
