Mrs. Brown Potter m
 A London Beauty Show

With society in this country discussing the engagement of James Brown Potter to Miss May Hanby, of Richmond, one of the most famous beauties of the south, a Lon don letter tells as follows of a beauty show there in which Mrs. James Brown Potter is a conscicuous figure;
 A picture exhibition to which all fashion able London is crowding at present is be- ing held by MT. Mortimer Menpes at the Dowdeswell galleries. It is called "Beau- tiful Women," and serves chiefly to immor- talize the lovely faces of the Duchess of Sutherland, Miss Pamela Plowden, Lady Colin Campbell, Miss Ethel Matthews, Miss Miriam Clements, Miss Constance Collier and Mrs. Brown Potter. Mrs. Brown Pot ter, in fact, may be said to have monopc~ lized most of MT. Menpes attention as model, and certainly he could have found no more delightful study on which to try his art MT. Menpes is a very well known man in London, and he will be easily re- called in the minds of Americans when I tell you he it was who had that historic misunderstanding with MT.

NOVEL MUNICIPALITY
Negro Community Wants Incorporation
 With Their Own Officers

Anniston, July 20.-(Special)-A negro community just west of Oxford and three miles south of Anniston filed with Probate Judge Brook today petition asking that an election be ordered to determine whether or not the community shall be incorpo- rated as a town.
 There are about 400 negro inhabitants in the prescribed territory, and only two white men. The election will probably be ordered soon, and as nearly all the ne- groes favor incorporation, that idea will doubtless carry. The negroes propose to have strictly a negro town and a negro gov ernment The mayor, councilmen, police men and all the municipal officers will be negroes, and it will probably be the only municipality of the kind in the United States.

Ter violently contended. At any rate, MT. Menpes is a brilliantly clever, though curl ously unequal artist. He has discovered a new method, by which he etches in colors, with most exquisite effect. His delicate water color sketches are extraordinary in their fine and almost colorless effective ness, while his more brilliantly tinted pam els are marvellous in their strength and breadth of handling. He has very peculiar ideas regarding the adjustment and back ground of his works. Last year he gave an exhibition devoted entirely to the showing of sketches that he had made in Japan. Most of these pictures he had done by night, and had, therefore, a curious flame like glow over them that was peculiar but telling. To carry out this idea MT. Menpes chose to drape the walls of his gallery with vivid, eye-scorching, fiame-colored mus lin. There was a general outcry in artistic circles against this bizarre and awful dec- oration, so this year MT. Menpes has wisely enough allowed his lovely and delicate pie lures to hang upon simple background of sage-green serge, with an effect that Is both grateful and comforting.
 His studies of the Duchess of Sutherland
  ture as it is possible to be. She has deli- cate style of gracious yet animated pretti- ness that must be difficult to catch, but which MT. Menpes has succeeded in sug- gesting to an extraordinary extent. MT. Menpes' greatest triumphs, however, have undoubtedly been secured in his almost numberless studies of Mrs. Brown Potter. One side of a wall in the gallery Is almost completely covered by her counterfeit pre- sentiments" She is to be seen in evrey va riety and style and period of costume. From Cleopatra. to the fin-de-secle woman of society Mrs. Brown Potter has evidently inspired MT. Menpes after a fashion that is both gratifying to the artist and his model. The result is "Potter-cum-Menpes" boom in the artistic and fashionable world.
 Of the reported engagement of Mrs. Pot ters husband the Chicago Evening Her aid says:
 "A report comes from New York that MT. James Brown Potter, husband of Mrs. James Brown Potter, has decided the apos- tie was right who proclaimed 'It is not good for man to be alone" So Mr. Potter, Mrs. Potters husband, has decided to mar ry one of the handsomest women in all |. America, woman so beautiful and bril- liant that the world will say, Well, MT. Potter, husband of Mrs. Potter No. l, made no mistake when he married Mrs. Potter No. g." The young lady in question is one of the souths most distinguished belles. e famous beauty, whose praises have been sung in prose and rhyme by all who know her or have seen her, namely, Miss May Handy, of Richmond, Va., who has been feted, praised and courted more than most women of the day. Richmond, Va, that courts some of the best society in the world, has long been proud of Miss Handy, and no great celebration that re- dounds to the glory of the Old Dominion is complete without her statuesque pres ence."

 OF INSTRUCTION
Teaching Men How to Be Pro-
 fCient in Work.
MODEL OF AN ENTIRE TRAIN
Enables the Men to Become Familiar With All AppLances-All the Rail- roads Are Anticipating New
 Equipment Law.

The Louisville and Nashville railroad has a novel exhibit in the city. It is car Of instruction, in which are all appliances necessary for teaching the employees of the road the use of the modern air brake and other uses of compressed air. The car, No. 36O, in charge of MT. Sherman, one of the roads experts, arrived in the city yester- day and will remain here several weeks.
 In the car there is an exact model of railroad train of sixteen cars, completely equipped with air brakes, and the workings of this model are explained to the men in detail. They are shown how to work all of the appliances, and are taught what to do in every emergency. The men are divided into small classes, and two classes visit the car each day, one at o'clock in the morning and the other at In the after noon It is compulsory on every employe of the road connected with the operating department, from the engineers on down, to receive this instruction.
 Anticipating the New Law
 The company is doing this important ed- ucational work, as it may be called, in order that it's employees may be made as efficient as possible by the time the new law of the United States regulating the equipment of all trains doing interstate bus mess goes into effect on the first of next January
 It will be remembered that four or five years ago congress passed a law requiring that every car in the United States run ming from one state into another that is at all engaged in interstate commerce, should be equipped with automatic drawheads and air brakes It was at first provided that this law should go into effect on January 1, 1897, but at the earnest request of the railroads this date was put off for two years until the first of 1900.
 In the meantime the railroads have grad ually been equipping all their rolling stock with automatic couplers and air brakes, they being put on all new cars and all old cars that happen to be In the shops for re- pairs. The Louisville and Nashville al- ready has about -S5 per cent. of it's cars equipped in this manner and for this req son it has become necessary to teach all of the employees how to use them.

Killing at Fort Payne

Fort Payne, July 20,-(Special) )-Calvin Evans was shot and instantly killed by Walter Roosevelt this morning on the farm of MT. Harry Godfrey, mile and a half north of this place. The tragedy was the result of bad feeling which had existed between the men for some time. Both were negroes and were brothers-in-law There were no witnesses to the shooting, but it is very evident that 1t was an act of self-de- fense, as 1t occurred at the house of the slayer, the deceaced had made threats against Roosevelt and had a gun loaded with buckshot when he was killed. Roose- welt surrendered to the sheriff immediately after the commission of the deed.

that condition until his death. Mr..
Hobart's death was due directly to an
gina pectoris, complicating myocar-
ditis. The funeral services will be
held a: the Church Of the Redeemer,
at Patterson, and the interment at the
family plot at Cadar Lawn, where the
only daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart
was buried six years ago. Rev. Mr..
Magee will preach the sermon. The
church can accommodate no more than
500 persons, and as thousands will be
eager to attend the services, it was
suggested they be held in the armory,
which will accommodate 10000 per-
sons. 1t is known, however, that Mrs.
! Hobart wishes the funeral to be as
quiet as possible and there is little
likelihood that the programme will

of Patterson have suggested that the
body lie in state at the city hall on
Friday, and this suggestion Will prob
ably be carried out.
The pail bearers have been selected,
