Mss FaIIon and Miss Drennen
will Go to Dresden

Miss Alice Fallon and Miss Lily Drennen,
accompanied by Miss Fallons mother, will
leave for Dresden in August, where the
two young ladies will enter the Royal con-
servatory. Miss F-allon is a girl of rare
promise She has high soprano voice of
wonderful sweetness and heXibility and af-
ter two years training under Fraulein
Orgene the most successful teacher in
Europe she will make her debut as an ar
fist of the first rank. Perhaps no teacher
living has turned out 50 many great opera
stars as Orgene, and under her tuition STU
dents who aspire to the stage have eXcep-
tional advantages. In the first place, they
never have to wait for engagements. The
very fact that they are pupils of Orgene
makes them in demand. Another advan-
tage is that they have the privilege of prac-
ticing regularly with the Royal orchestra.
1t is through Miss Rowley's kind offices
that Fraulein Orgene takes the fair Bir-
mingham girl as one of her ten special pu-
pills. Orgene and Miss Rowley are close
friends and it was on the latters recon-
mendation that the famous teacher con-
sented to receive Miss Gallon into her pri-
vate class. In addition to vocal study Miss
Fallon will take the piano course at the
minghams most talented and ardent musi-
clans will take the plano and theory
courses These estimable young women
will go abroad with the best wishes of our
entire community.

When one goes up these Saturday after
moons for cup of tea at the Woman
club, for Saturday is their day at home,
one naturally recalls the series of brilliant
afternoons the past winter when the CLUB
was thronged with numbers of women VINO
came in for the lectures and the numerous
other affairs which followed during the
season. The delightful atmosphere which
has been created there in comparatively
a short time, impresses one of the turning
of the tides here in favor of club rooms
and to those who have been in close toueh
with the Woman's club movement, 1t IS
a great pleasure to dwell upon the hrst
steps which led to the organization In
which so many prominent women in the
city have become Interested. At the close,
practically of the season, 1t will PROBABLY
be most interesting to many to speak OF
the remarkable growth of the club, which
was organized only last autumn, and which
has become not only great influence in
Birmingham. but is widely known in the
south. In the history of many clubs, 1
do not believe that there is club in the
south that could show a more brilliant
record of achievement in so short time
since organization as the Womans club OF
Birmingham.
A newspaper woman said to me at the
press meeting last spring, "How do yoI
find something of local interest for your
columns every day." 20" | said, Il go
up to-the Woman's club almost every day,
and they are always having a department
meeting or a lecture, or something that
can be made into a newspaper story, so
that I am always sure of something or
local interest,". And it is true that the
club has been at all times an inspiration
to the newspaper people in the city who
write of the notable organizations of wo-
men and the work of the club woman of
today.
There had been for some time popular
demand for the large club, but no woman
had taken the initiative towards organiza-
ton the first definite steps being taken by
q few courageous women who fingered one
morning after a meeting of the federation,
and informally discussed the organization
of the Woman-s Club of Birmingham.
Mrs. L. Crozier French was made tenn
porary chairman and she, with the COOP
Grafton of the other women who were pres
emit laid the foundation of the club. Later
a mass meeting was called at the CONNER
cial club. 1t was in every way one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings ever assembled
there and the Woman's club was formally
organized. The present officers were elect
ed at that time, and the constitution and
bylaws adopted.
The next question was the matter or
club rooms Here was a great club with
no place it could call home. The CONNER

GOOD LUCK GO WITH HIM.

On the auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, Captain Richard P. Leary of Baltimore has sailed from the port of New York for the island Of Guam. This gallant officer, who has made 8 record in the United States navy of which any mnn might be proud, is full of enthusiasm over his new assignment and proud Of his mission to the orient. Guam is nOo the largest island in the wcr.d, and 10 small amount of fun has been ,pOkci at it by humorists, who have made ic'. name rhyme with the most em1ba.il: expIetive in the English la1guagt. At the same time Guam is by no means an unimpCrtant spot in the world, and promises to play no small part among Uncle Sans new possessions. It is the largest of the Ladrone group, con- tains the capita, and has a population of about 10000 souls, most of whom are sadly in need of good government and the blessings of civiization.-BGl- timOre American.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

So delightful and convincing were the figures of Mir. Winton's recent au- tomobiie trip from Cleveland to New Ycrk, it is manifest that all the world now needs is some benevolent trust to bring the automobile within reach of all. 4 dollars worth of fuel fer TOO miles and a speed of fifteen miles an hour over all kinds of reads, or thirty miles an hour over good ones, would seem to make the automobile almost the ideal node Of short and middis distance trave.ing. This is the er- thusiastic side. The other might be the train of mangled children and cid people that would "blocdy-up" all our roads were hundreds of automobiles flying about the country at thirty miles an hour; the head-cn collisions tta; would figure daily iH the papers; and perhaps the smell and the whirr Of which the enthusiastic inventor takes TO account in summing up the virtues and faults of his machine Anyway the experiment has been highly interesting, as showing the pr&cticabifity Of the machine fer good country roads; and Just as no house is now built without accomnoda tions for ticycles, SC another decade may see the automobile room 8 part of every new building.

and the beans are darker and more oily than those of the breakfast coffee. The matter of mixing chico~v with coffee is. perhaps, to some extent. enc of
 taste, though many persons wno ask for coffee without chicory do not get It. A housckeeper who suspects the pres ence of chicory may datermine it's presence by a careful inspection Cf the grounds. The chicory afse" cooking is easily disceFnible among the coffee grounds. I do not sell chicory, but If any one wants it, it would be better to buy it separately and add what pre- portion is desired to the coffee at each making. To my mind, the best way to prepare the breakfast coffee is to use a little porcelain biggan, the coffee be- ing put in the upper vessel. This should be put over the alcohol lamp to be brought to Q boil, but not beyond. Hot milk, a dash of cream and loaf sugar complete the necessities for q cup Of fine coffee. New York Post.

Whatever may be the merits of the quarrel between Senator Quay and his Pennsylvania enemies which resulted in the recent prolonged deadlock in that state, the sensational indictment and acquittal of the senator, and his appointncnt as his own successor iL must be admitted that the peo- pie of the state still have faith in Quay. It is re- markable fact that in the numerous county elections recently for delegates 10 the republican state convention, not one has failed to give 8 majority in some cases an overwhelming Cne ito the aYowed Quay candidates. It cannot be that the explanation Of this is that Quay's career is unqualifiedly indorsed. It rather seems to show that in choi1e between two evils tha people think the Martin-Mag agee-FIynn- Wanamalter eabal is the worse.

 These paragraphs and others of a like nature are pretty familiar read ing, but there is another side of the matter. Alfred Austin in his time has written poems which, if not the pro- ductions of a poet of the very highest cTder, show remarkable talent, and . champion of the much abused laureate gets back at his critics in the follow ing amusing lines:

TALKING CLOCKS.
An Invention Which Tells the flour
 and What You Ought to D0.

Quite the newest thing ill timepiecas is the clock which announces the hour in Q somewhat metallic, but clear and distinct, voice. It is, of course al ir- genious combination cf the clock and the talking machine, the latter acting by means of a simple connection with the works above. Inquiries made ly 3 Mail representative of those in the trade show that already several orders have been received for clocks Of that kind, which, SC, far, have been de- signed for advertising purposes.
 A few days ago Messrs Carcrer, Kuss 6 Co. of 5 New Oxford street were asked to manufacture q timepiece of this description for a firm of patent beef extract manufacturers. The idea was to fix the clocks in he various restaurants where the beef essence was sod, 50 that every quarter of an hour an automatic figure would appear in Q small doorway and roar out encOurag- ingly ''Now's the time 5o drink OUT beef tea-three pence a cup" or words to that effect.
 For the use Of the private individual, the talking clock might be employed with considerable effect as a morning call. If man wanted to be awakened at, say, ' o'clock, all he would have to do would be to fix the attachment at that hour, wind up the talking machine and retire to rest. with every ccnf- dence of something happening. If everything went off nicely the room at q. m. would be filled with the strains of Hail, Smiling Morn" or in a light CT vein, Rise Up, William Riley" which, as an eye opener, has seldom been excelled.
 So far orders for private houses have not been extensive, but the general opinion among members af the trade is that the cuckoo and the trulnpeter and the piccOlO solo and the ornamental chime and bells will sOCn give way to clock that will fire off instrumental solos and funny stories whenever any one presses a button.
 As stimulant to the sleepy hand maiden of the suburbs, T cOntrivance that would yell out Now, then, hustle around and get that fire under way!" eleven times in rapid succession, would be one of the greatest blessings be- slowed by modern science.-London Mail.

THE PRoTEcToRATE QUESTION

Cur Tcce problem might not be set
 tied even if all the negroes were de-
 ported to Liberia, as some have dreamed Of doing; for, according to a dispatch from England, Liberia IS sending over an envoy to demand an American protectorate In case Amer ica refuses, the dusky statesman will move on to England. which rarely lets Fass anything of this sort There seems to be nctbing to gain for us in such an undertaking except all kinds of complications, for nations do not ask for protectorates unless they have more trouble than they know what to do with. Yet it cannot be predicted tEat we shall decline offhand. A few years ago we should have thought Africa far beyond cur sphere Of op- erations, and should have let England have the protectorate and welcome. Now Africa seems only Q little way off, and we have perhaps gained enough of the jealousy that infests the powers not to want to see another nation take even that which we do not want ourselves.
