AN interesting ceremony occurred in
the woman's building at Memphis, on
Monday night, when the flag of the
Fourth Tennessee regiment which was
presented to it by the Sarah Law Chap
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy, was
returned to the donors for safe keeping.
The feature of the evening was the ell
oquent address delivered by our own
Col, Harvey H. Hannah, who won all
hearts by his glowing tribute to the
flag, the soldier boys and the Southern
women. He closed by saying: "Oh,
Daughters of the Confederacy, take
our fag-you have already our hearts, -

THE WOMAN'S CONGRESS.

The last week of the Alabama State
Fair, held at Birmingham, from the 18th
to the 18th of November, was a splen-
did success from every point of view
in number of attendance from all parts
of the State and of adjacent States, in
the absolute perfection of the bright,
sunny autumn weather, and in the num-
Der and variety of entertainments pre-
sented. BY no means the least of these
attractions was the series of brilliant
sessions of the Woman's Congress given
under the auspices of the Birmingham
Woman's Club. On Monday evening
Miss L. Graham Crozier opened the
Congress in an address on rs there a
Science of Society" Along the line of
industrial education, as indicated in
this address, Miss CroZier has made so
thorough u study, practical as well as
scientific, as to be recognized as one of
the highest authorities, not only among
Southern educators, but among those
from all parts of the land. In a new
and progressive city like Birmingham,
with labor union numbering $1,000,
the tremendous Importance of indus
trial education at once awoke respOn-
sive chord in the large audience, and
never in Miss Crozier's many successes
as lecturer has she achieved greater
triumph than on this occasion.
On Wednesday morning the second
session of the Congress was under the
direction of Mrs. George c. Ball, of
Birmingham, one of the brainy news
paper women of the SOuth--an all-rOund
woman, such as the South pre- eminently
produces, the owner and manager of
her own weekly magazine, an active
club woman, an enthusiastic Daughter
of the American Revolution, and a
most gracious and accomplished society
woman. Among the notable speakers
at this session was Mrs. William King,
of the Atlanta Constitution, woman of
marked individuality, and the mother
in-law of the late Henry Grady.
The evening session was also under
the auspices of the press and was ad-
dressed by Mr.. F. H. Richardson, editor
of the Atlanta Journal, and in the treat
ment of his subject, "The New Chiv-
airy" he proved a speaker at once
forceful and eloquent.
On Thursday evening possibly the
largest and most interested audience
of the week was present to hear dis
cussion in the form of symposium on
clubs, in which Mrs. Heley, of Chicago:
Mrs. Pierce, of Philadelphia, and Miss
Crozier took part, followed by an adj
dress on Club Buildings" by the writer.
After brief reference to the Propy-
leum, of indianapolis, Ind: the New
Century Club House, in Philadelphia,
and the Woman's Club House in Will
mington, Delaware, the speaker gave

stock and by entertainments: in short,
the rise. the progress and the success OF
this first Woman's Building in the

Black arose, and as the lawyer OF the
Birmingham Woman's Building Asso,
citation. presented Mrs. r. H. Pearson,
the president of the association, with
the charter of the stock company, the
stock placed at $4,000. He assured the
ladies of not only the passive interest o

Brothers and his party. The latter were
cut off from shore by a crack in the ice
that in places was 100 feet wide. he
told Brothers he would go to shore and
get a boat, which he did. When he re-
turned, however, Brothers was not in
sight, and Fletcher searched nearly all
night fer him and his companions.
Fletcher fell in the water twice during
his wanderin2s in the dark, and it was
with great difficulty that he finally
reached shore with both of his feet
frozen.
The strangest feature of the rescue
was the fact that two distinct parties
which had been carried out on the ice
at two widely separated points met
each other during the night, Joined their
fortunes and were found together.

Feb. %, 1871, and is therefore nearly 20
years of age. He is son OF Hon. John

lived in Cenaerville for time, but later
came to Weber county, and his resi-
dence was in this county almost con-
tinuougly fer twelve years, though he
was principal of the schools in Bountl-
full, Davis County, at the time of his
enlistment. In 1891 he was graduated
from the Utah university as Cadet of
Honor" and in 1893 went on a mission

followed the profession Of school
teacher in Weber and Davis counties
until the time OF his enlistment. He
owns a home ON Twenty-first street, in
this city, but his family is at present in
Centerville. His sister, Miss Josie Sea-
man, is a teacher in the Mound Fort

after enlistment, but was promoted to
the position of second lieutenant since
the arrival of his battery at Manila.
The young man is very we'll known
and as popular, conscientious, unassum-
ing and a steady, hard worker in what
ever he undertakes. The news Of his

tude from his friends.

RECEPTION TO LORD BERESFORD
SAN FRANCISCO ENTERTAINS
THE BRITISH ADMIRAL.
Chamber Of Commerce Crowded With
Business Men and Merchants
Open Door Policy For China.

San Francisco. Feb. 13.-The assembly
hall of the chamber of commerce, was
crowded TO the doors this afternoon and
standing room was at a premium. The
occasion for this display Of enthusiasm
was the reception rendered Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford, r. N. by the
chamber of commerce of this city Lord
BeresfoTd was entertained IN his oinclal
capacity as representative OF the aSSo-
ciated chambers of commerce of Great

the distinguished gentleman was com
posed Of the great merchants of this city,
representatives of the diplomatic corps
the army United States navy and the
National Guard OF California. and of the
principal commercial bodies of San Fran
cisco, besides several representatives of
the federal service.
The entrance of Lord Beresford to the
assembly room was the occasion OF a very
pronounced ovation. FIRST wee PreSl-
dent Newhall introduced Lord BereStord,
with few feleitious remarks. He
touched upon the increasing friendship
existing between the United States and
Great Britain.
CISCO then said a few words OF welcome

tlenan addressed those present. He FOL
lowed the same general vein outlined by
him in the interview with him sent out
by the Associated PSess on Friday Con-
corning the open door policy ne took the
view that il means simply that instead
of spheres of influence which means
the breaking up OF the Chinese empire
that England, America. Germany and
Japan shall by an agreement, maintain
free and equal commercial relations for all
in the Orient.
1t includes the reorganization of the
Chinese armies into one imperial army,
instead of numerous provincial armies.

non-commissioned officers by Europeans,
so that the Chinese empire may be prop

Governor Wells yesterday received a
dispatch from Senator Rawlins, con-
veying the information that the bodies
of those Utah men who have fallen in
battle at Manila are to be brought
home for burial at an early date. The
news is most welcomely received by the
bereaved families, to whom half the
horror of the loss of beloved ones lies
in the fact that death claimed them
far from home. While the dispatch
does not say whether the dead sons of
other states will find a resting place
at home, a general impression is for the
affirmative. Those of the Utah batter
les who have fallen to date are Ser
geant Harry A. Young, Corporal John
@. Young and Private Wilhelm Good
man. Others have been wounded, but,
it is hoped, not seriously so.
