HUNTING FOR HOMES.
Small Dining Rooms Vex Senators and
Real Estate Men.

Washington, April 1.-(Special )-There is
a vast deal of house hunting in Washing
ton just now and II indications hold good
Washington has a great treat in store for
1T when the new senators shall take their
seats. Almost all of the new senators are
rich. Each wants a home here and what's
more, each wants a home with large din
ing room in it. This foreshadows a long
list of dinners and banqutes.
Both Senators Depew and Clark, the lat
ter being the multi millionaire from Mon
tana, have been here hunting houses.
There are plenty of spacious mansions to
be had, furnished or unfurnished, but few
with large dining rooms.
Senator Clark announced on arrival that
he would not take house in which there
was dining room which could not seat 100
guests This set the real estate agents al
most wild. Senator Foraker made the same
demand when he first came to Washington,
and in the end had to build his own home.
The latter's residence is one of the most
exquisite in Washington, built on the old
colonial lines. 1t has colonial dining hall,
II might be called, too. AS yet neither Sem
ator Depew and Senator Clark have found
what they want, and 1t is not unlikely that
they will have to follow Senator Foraker's
example and build a house of their own.

Although Birmingham didn't win the
games 1t played in Chattanooga and Nash

record which neither of the other teams
have made when playing off of their homo
courts.
On January rs the Birmingham team also

The basket ball season for the winter Of
1S98-99 has been a most successful one in
Birmingham, and the popularity of this
greatest of all indoor games Is now firmly
established In this city. The only OBJ
jectionable feature of the season has been
that enough seats could not be placed in
the gymnasium to accommodate all the
spectators who wanted to see the games.
Before the southern championship games
began on February "a, an exciting local
series of games was played for the cham

interesting contest 1t was. The result Of

IN AID OF ALvARY'S FAMILY.
Friends of the Late Tenor in This Coun-
try Start an Endless Chain"

From the New York Sun.
It was intended last autumn to give a
benefit for the family of the late Max AL
well under way. 1t will be remembered
that the tenor, at one time so popular here
died in want and left his family wholly
without means of support He left egiht
children, all still young. For some time
before his death he was unable to appear
in public. Unfortunate business specula-
tions, combined with his enforced idleness
hausted his savings.
AS Herr Alvary was closely connected
with the regime of German opera at the
Metropolitan and was, in fact, more con-
spicuous here than in his own country it
was thought that measures to relieve his
family could best be undertaken In this city.
1t was soon seen, however, that the inter-
est of the public was absorbed in the opera
The testimonial performance for Mrs. Seidl
enlisted the services of the artists to the
greatest extent they could volunteer. There
was also talk for some time of benefit for
the widow of the late Diego de Vivo. The
friends of Mrs. Alvary therefore decided to
give up all idea of public performance,
and take up a subscription instead
The latest form which the efforts to re-.
lleve the Alvary family has taken is the So
called 'endless chain" Letters asking for
contributions of 10 cents and the customary
two letters written to others have been sent
out, and it is hoped to realize in this way
a considerable sum for the relief of the
family, which is left quite without means
of support.

birmingham is sure of second place In the
league composed of Birmingham, Chatta-

strong probability that the season will end

two games. This depends on the result of
the hnal Observation-Disclosures game to be
played in Chattanooga next Friday. If
Nashville wins the championship goes to

BERNHARDTs BEGINNING.
An Old Pen Picture of the Divine Sarah
by Octave Feuilet.

From the New York Sun.
Just thirty years ago Octave Fenilet, the
French novelist and dramatist, who died
In 1890, In letter to his wife, drew the fol-
lowing pen picture of Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt then at the beginning of her
career:
"A queer girl, indeed lie Sarah. 1t Is the
first time In my long career that I have
met with genuine actress. Coincidence
of the eighteenth century, elegant, eccen-
trio. insolent and bold. Contrary to the
habit of all other actresses, she comes to
the rehearsals In full dress, or at least In a
toilet arranged after her own fahion. Sho
always wears vevet-a velvet dress, a vel
vet hat. scarf of black lace over her shout
ders. and little ruffed collar. In this way,
with her hair like that of a poodle dog,
and with some fresh flowers in her hand.
she repeats her part with care and sonibcr
gravity, and occasionally with attitudes q
la Rachel. At the close of the act she
Frances about like ballet girl, skips upon
one foot and then sits down at the piano TO
accompany herself while singing a queer
negro air. She has very sweet voice.
Then she gets up and begins to walk about
with long strides, like clown, laughing In
everybodys face and chewing chocolate
candy, with which she always has her pock-
cts filled. AT times she takes out a little
case in which there was a small brush,
which she runs over her lips to give them
a ruby color, after which she laughs, shows
her white teeth, and recommences to MUNICH
her chocolates.
Nothing could be more amusing than to
see Croizette and herself. after rehearsal,
running out followed by their mothers.
They start off like frightened hares, with
their heads up and their Rabage hats
thrown back upon their enormous blonde
wigs Swinging their little umbrellas. they
talk and laugh aloud enough to make people
turn round and stare at them. At last they
go into Chiboust's confectionery shop and
there stuff themselves with cakes.

Jefferson Always Dined Well
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Speaking of Jeffersonian dinners, 1t Is re-
called that Thomas Jefferson always dined
well. Monticello was stocked with the
finest of wines. and the great plantation
of 10000 acres produced almost every kind
of fruit and vegetable. Jefferson had been
brought up in the best of society, and spent
years a tthe court of Paris. He had the
continental ideas of luxury In living. and
he entertained royalty. 1t is recalled, like
wise. that his dinners were served on silver
plate, fact which must strike the Bryan
brethren with more or less conflicting emo
lions.
