the excellent condition of that company at the opening of the new year. The issue Is not for the purpose of raising more money, however, to be spent by the company, but it is to retire nearly million dollars worth of per cent. bonds which the company now has outstanding. Some mention of this was made in yesterdays Age-Herald in a special dispatch from New York.
 ''The situation is about like this" said Vce-President James Bowron yesterday. "The Tennessee company, as you know, is made up of a number of old corporations consolidated into one big company. The new corporation assumed $300,000 of ' per cent. bonds of the old Alice Furnace com pany, and $4000O0 per cent. bonds of the old Eureka company. The Alice bonds would have expired in 1902, and the Eu- reka's in 1907. Both issues were made on the condition that they could be recalled at any time the company was in a condi- tion to pay for them. The Tennessee com pany also has s64S,Oo0 ' per cent. bonds of the old Pratt company, which, however, cannot be called in until their maturity, which is still five years off. We are now in a. position to buy in all of these bonds should their owners care to sell them but how great these sales will be cannot say.
 "As l said before, all of these per cent. bonds, amounting to something over $7O0,- 900, wih be recalled, and in their place we will issue just as many 6 per cent bonds. This will be reduction in interest of over S7,0O0 annually.
 "In this mornings Age-Herald see that the New York Times is quoted as saying that the Tennessee company will in the im- mediate future increase it's iron output as much 1000 tons per month. This is news to me, for can't for the life of me see how We could get out any more iron than we are doing at present, as much as we would like to make such an increase We are al- ready running at our full capacity"

Dr. Phillips Talks or
 he American Woman

The occasion of pr. J. H. Philips lecture last evening at Elks hall brought together representative gathering, who gave the eloquent speaker the closest attention. The lecture was under the auspices of the local federation of womens clubs, and through the courtesy of the president, Mrs. George M. Cruikshank, non-club women were also given an opportunity to hear "The Fossil bilities of the American Woman discussed by one of the foremost educators of today and one who is deeply interested in the woman movement
 Several musical numbers preceded tho lecture.
 Mrs. Cruikshank introduced the speaker of the evening. His subject was "The Pos abilities of the American Woman"
 Dr. Phillips, among other things said:
 After seeing a few samples of the so- called new, woman in our large cities, one shudders to contemplate the possibilities of American women But the first products of any movement or process are naturally crude and imperfect, and we must not judge of the tendencies of the woman movement in this country by the few ex- treme types.
 The nineteenth century in its contribu- tions to civil zation stands incomparably su- perior to all it's predecessors; it is approx imated in importance only by the fifth cen tury, B. c. That century contained the age of Pericles-the golden era of Greek civ ilization the century that gave the world Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, and gave us the beginnings of moral and natural science logic and rhetoric and psychology, the century in which Aechylus. Sophocles and Aristophanes perfected the drama and Greek sculpture under Phidias and Prax- iteles reached such stage of development that succeeding centuries have never been able to approximate.
 It is one of the anomalies of history that in this age, an age in which female deity was the object of worship. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom. women occupied a low plane, and were little more than slaves It was a dictum of Pericles that all outside the, walls of her home should be a closed world to woman. In the reign of Elizabeth also the golden age of English literature, it was fad for women to be ignorant.
 Many anthropologists claim that long be- fore the time of the patrarchs. there ex- isted a matriarchal government when wo- men ruled and when inheritances descended through the females of the family. Whether a universal matriarchy ever existed Is not known. that isolated instances have oc- cured Is equally certain. Even today we may find cases Of matriarchy.
 America has contributed very largely to nineteenth century progress. The three dis tinctively American contributions are, the possibility of a permanent popular gov- ernment, popular education. and the eleva- tion of woman.
 Among the primary causes of the wo- man movement in this country are the gen.

BUTLER DEFENDS
 THE CONfEDERACY

 q wish the senator would explain" in- qured Mr. Chandler, little later, "upon what theory the United States government could be asked to pay for property in the south destroyed by the forces of the union" "Whenever." replied MT. Butler, "the sen ator will explain to me why we should pay Spain s2O0OOO GOO for the privilege of not be- ing whipped by the Fflipinos 1 will answer his question:"
 Referred to EIr Hoar
 For an answer to his question" retorted MT. Chandler, q must refer the senator to the senior senator from Massachusetts, (Mr Hoar) Q.aughter)
 At the conclusion of his speech MT. But Ter withdrew his amendment.
 MT. Bate (dem. Tenn.), an ex-confederate soldier of distinguished bravery, in present. ing some resolutions in opposition to the Butler. amendment, expressed the belief that this was not the time to discuss the issues of the civil war. The confederate soldiers, he said, were not knuckling and kneeling in order to obtain pensions
 The south, aided by its glorious women, had thus far been able to care for it's brave soldiers. Monuments had been raised to them in the past. and more would be raised in the future. While he, in common with every other ex-confederate soldier, believed the south was right in its struggle, the dis cussion of the question was thing of the past, and he was glad the amendment had been withdrawn.
 MT. Pettus, of Alabama, appealed to the senators not to attempt to renew the war. All agreed that it had ended at Appomattox and nobody wanted any more of it.
 As several senators had expressed the de- sire to speak on the pending bill, it went over until the morning hour tomorrow.
 At 6:25 p. m., on motion of Mr. Gallinger, the senate adjourned.

 Not long since the notice Court ad- jorrned sine die' was posted on the door of the supreme court in Brooklyn.

Next day person who makes prac- tice of haunting the public buildings in Brooklyn and professes acquantances with every well-known man in the vicinity drop- ped into the clerks office.
 "See here," he said, "when did Sine pass in his checks?"
 "What's that" demanded the astonished clerk.
 "When did Sine die? I see the courts are closed on account of it'
 "Oh," said the clerk, pulling himself to- gether The died yesterday. Did you know him?"
 "Know him? I should say did. Knew his father before him. Too bad, aint it?'
 And Sine's bereaved friend passed out with his burden of sorrow

Mrs. Redd's Tea in
 Honor of Her Guests

There was a decided crush at Mrs. Will liam Redd's tea yesterday afternoon, which she gave for her daughter, Miss Nina Redd, and her guest, Mrs. Louie Redd Pou, of Georgia. The bright afternoon brought out the smart set in their most becoming gowns, and the tea was an unusually charming social function. The married friends of Mrs. Redd called during the afternoon.
 The apartments of her attractive house were fragrant with narcissus, white hya- cinths and violets, the library, however, having for it's decoration superb red came- lias.

She is a charming girl and looked very striking in a pink taffeta gown. Her flowers were white carnations.
 Mrs. Pou, who is regarded as one of the most admired women in Georgia, attracted admiring notice in a white taffeta gown. She carried white carnations.
 Mrs. Redd was very handsome in black toilette, and her daughter, Mrs. Charles Elliott Carper, whose marriage was one of the fashionable events of the autumn, was gowned in yellow satin and chiffon.
 Those assisting were Mrs. B. M. Tutwiler, Mrs. John w. Tomlinson, Mrs Mark Wal lace, of Virginia; Mrs Benjamin Dryer. Mrs. c. B. Spencer, Mrs. W. S. Brown, Mrs. J. R. Estes, Mrs. J. F. Redd, Mrs. Jack Johnston, Mrs Robert Baugh, Mrs. G. Mortimer Williams, Mrs. John Henley, Miss Willis Milner, Mrs Royster and Mrs. James Johnston.

 Tn suggesting that mass meeting of Birmingham women be called" she con tinued, 'it is to assure Senator Moody and Senator Cunningham that they have indeed voiced the sentiments of the great silent majority and I trust that the Commercial club will be taxed beyond it's capacity and that every woman's organization in the city will be well represented
