and the love of your fellow .citizens of
American birth and parentage -
The same sturdy qualities which have
made the Englishman the highest type
of subject, must likewise place him
among the most valuable citizens of
this great republic. His intelligence,
his thought, his honest, sturdy enter
prise; his unbounded love of fair play;
his high moral sense, his strong reli-
gious spirit, must all tend to the up
building OF a citizenship of the highest
value to our beloved country.
I feel assured that you will love and
cherish, not only the flag which you are
about to accept, but the high and lofty
principles which it represents.
May you in time of peace continue to
strive to keep pure and holy the prin-
ciples of free government which it rep
resents, and to inculcate In the hearts
and minds of your sons and daughters
deep and profound love for our insti-
tutions; and, in time of war; may you
continue to permit no element among
our citizenship to prove more ready to
sacrifice all that is held dear-if need
be life itself-in order to keep this beau
tiful emblem waving over t'the land
of the free and the home of the brave
The Chairman, DR.. Darcy Power, re-
sponded, saying that it was often
argued against organizations that band
ed together in a land of a different ma
tionality, that the fact of their foreign
birth and holding together was to be
deprecated as tending to perpetuate
ideals not like those Of the American
people. This was not so of the Sons of
ST. George. They were really banded
together from social purposes. He
spoke of the influence for good England
had exerted over the, world and the
spread Of civilization by her means
Miss May Powers rendered brakes
Address to the American Flag" in a
manner that stirred her audience to en-
thusiasm. The violin solo, 'Gavotte by
Carl Bohn,'' by Miss B. Levy, accom-
panied by Miss R. Levy, was rendered
with much taste and fine effect, and re-
ceived a we'll earned encore. A vocal
solo, MY Dream of You" was given by
]. A. Gerber with feeling and was well
received, and the program closed with
an interesting lecture by Rev A. c..
Herrick, on Egypt illustrated by
stereopticon views.

KILLED THE HORSE.
Humane Officer Payne Puts an
Animal Out Of Misery.

Humane Officer Jerry Payne yester-
day found a man driving in four-horse
team, on Seventeenth street, a small
weakly animal afflicted with a horrible
disease that had eaten away the flesh
on one side of it's mouth and we'll up
along the jaw. Payne had the animal
taken from the team and to a vacant
lot, where he shot it, as the poor crea
ture was incurable
The teamster had an extra horse tied
behind his wagon probably expecting
the other to fall down and die at any
moment, and it was substituted for the
sick one. Payne then made the man
take his outfit to a stable, where the
horses were put up, and he was placed
under arrest on charge Of cruelty to
animals.
The man, who gave his name as w.
D. Patton and his residence as San
Joaquin, was allowed to go on the
promise to show up this morning for
trial. He said he was en- route to

A lonely figure laboriously trudging up
the Twentieth street hill last night would
between puffs give vent to his feelings in
up-to-date Biblical language and bitterly
complain of the accident which stopped
the cars and left the world to darkness
and to me-"
The man who has heretofore been dis
coursing on the universal habit of laziness
has now come to the conclusion that there
is more merit in the failing that he at
first thought. Those long South Highlands
hills have made troubles of his own in this
direction and many are the upset homes in
the suburbs.
The Consolidated Electric company has
gone to work with vim, and the repairing
of the damaged power house has advanced
rapidly.
The new masonry has already been COM
pleted but some time will be required in
moulding a new pulley, the breakage Of
which caused the accident. The company
states that the cars will be running again
within day or two. probably tomorrow.
All Kinds of Vehicles
The fair and unfair suburbanites who
have been accustomed. to coming to town
whenever they got ready are in a state
of turmoil and every conceivable kind of
vehicle has been brought into play, to save
the out of town people from the ong,
montonous walks.
1t seems that the great comfort of the
cars had never struck our highlanders until
this accident happened and many are the
jokes told of the crowds that stood on
the corners and waited and longed for the
car that never came. Some take it good
humoredly, realizing the uselessness of
kicking, while others IL turned loose in the
company's office would make the air blue
with expletives as long as they staid there
in. One irascibe old gentleman has threat
ened to sue the company for damages to
his rheumatic leg in making the ascent
of the Twentieth street hill.
Cold Wave Adds Discomfort
The cold weather has also added to the
discomfort of the mountaineers, and old
Jack Frost Is getting finger in the pie
The whisky bum is not by any means the
only man who comes to town with a nose
of the roseate hue, but fume and fret as
they may, what can't be cured must be en-
dured, and watch and wait is the highland
er's cry. However, some of the ladies
have waited and watched in vain for the
men folks, who like the cars never came.
These same fair ladies have also got a kick
coming and sometimes show the bad side
of their temper and have likened them
selves into the little girl of the curl repu-
tation, who, when she was good, was very
good and when she was bad was horrid.'
The railway company will soon put an
end to all this trouble, however, and when
this is done quiet and peace will reign
supreme in the far-away homes on the
highlands.

blossoms. Smilax was used as a frieze
throughout the apartments, and palms
were placed in all available space. The

carried out in the most lavish manner in
the floral decorations. The chandeliers
were draped with smilax, and white tapers
under yellow fiower-b edecked shades gave
a brilliant glow to the apartments. The

THE PRESENT WEATHER EDUCATIvE
Damp Days Without the Z trio Cars
Cause Magic City Bellies to Yearn
for the Comforts of Wet
Weather Apparel
BY ANNIE KENoRtcK WALKER

The women who have been compelled TO
brave the inclemency of the weather for
the last two days, and who have smilingly
accepted the inevitable in regard to the alb
sence of street cars, are In favor Of adopt
ing rainy day skirts. This matter has been
frequently agitated by the press, but like
other practical reforms it has met with
opposition from those who need it most
With the present mode of sweeping skirts,
the argument for rainy day skirts grows in
strength and the women of Birmingham
SO eager to seize progressive ideas should
at once appreciate the convenience and ad-
vantage in every way of adopting the short
skirt for wet weather The particularly
depressing atmosphere of Monday after
noon, which was emphasized by the acct
dent to the cars produced the most cheer
less, bedraggled looking set of women at
one of the street corners There was one
woman who was gowned in a silk and wool
toilette with chiffon trimmings. Her far
ing hat had huge steel buckle in front and
two corn-colored tips hung limply over
the brim. They had passed the damp stage
and were now ringing wet. She held up her
skirt with one hand and showed a petit
coat tricked and insertioned 1t chung to
her wet feet, covered with mud. The streets
were in great puddles and the wind sweep
ing down the avenues turned umbrellas in
the wrong direction The women who walt
ed despairingy for the dummies reviewed
the procession along the avenues.
Not a single woman was in rainy day at
tire. They cutched their long skirts and
a number of them trailed along over the
wet sidewalks, regardless of appearances.
The women who refused to hold up their
sweeping skirts were as attractive as those
who revealed at each step a lot of bedrag-
gled petticoats.
/ felt sympathy for those women, know
ing what lot of things would have to be
hung out to dry.
There were several women yesterday who
declared themselves in favor of the rainy
day skirt.
with all the club movements in Birming
ham," said a woman, in speaking upon the
subject, "a very important step on the part
of the women has not been taken that would
mean more comfort, cleanliness and labor
saving than almost any other reform that
could be adopted"
Almost every woman has, of course, a
costume that she uses on rainy days, but
In the matter of the length of her skirt
there is no difference, and she presents on
the streets that unattractive spectacle of
a woman holding up one side of her gown
and displaying bedraggled skirts.
II have ordered a rainy day costume"
she continued, land I am going to prevail
on my friends to adopt this sensible style.
1nere will be less colds and grippe, and,
above ALL there will be an end to wet skirts
clinging around ones feet, and the trouble
of holding up long, damp garments will be
done away with
And she picked up her long skirt with its
two inches of mud and waded across the
street.
