Year Book for the Woman's Club.

The Woman's club has two boards Of control. the board of 1899 and the board one might say of 190O The former still con- trols the business affairs of the club while the latter is planning the work for the close of the year and the beginning of 1900, a work which of course will be done in conjunction with the old board. The personnel of the two boards is, however, almost the same, as the majority of off, cers and directors were reelected a few weeks ago, and 1t Is these who constitute the two boards. The work which deyolves upon the new board in regard to prrpar- ing a calendar for the Woman's club Is an undertaking which assumes mammoth pro- portions when one considers the many de- partments and the large membership of the club, and 1t will not be an easy matter to put the policy of the future work of the club into a convenient booklet. The eal- endar committees of the literary clubs of the city regard their work in this matter as gigantic thing to accomplish, and too much cannot be said in praise of the work of these committees, to whom is entrusted the life of the club. The calendar commit tee of the Woman's club has indeed re- sponsibility resting upon it. and with all the department meetings abandoned for the summer, there is still a ponderous work for the members of the Woman's club these summer days.
 Tt Is necessary" said a club woman yesterday, in speaking of the matter, that each director confer with her department as to the work 1t will undertake, and that the club decide at once upon its future policy as the Year book must contain as- signments of york;
 It has been suggested that for the next business meeting which occurs the first Saturday in July that one or two women will lead in a discussion to the future policy of the club. and also as to the limi- tattons of the departments.
 A discussion of the policy of the club and of how much a department is limited in its work affects the club a whole are questions to be decided regardless of a year book, but that the committee has the latter in charge necessitates a decision a once in regard to club government. There will be a meeting of the board of 99 this afternoon at o'clock in the library of the club

NEW YORK GAVE a75, 900 TO BLIND

From the New York World.
 About 700 blind men, women and children received $50 in gold apiece Tuesday morn- ing from the city. They were paid by the city paymaster, in the office of Superin- tendent Blair. of the Outdoor Poor depart- ment. The sum of s7500O Is distributed to the blind poor every year through the Outdoor Poor department. Those who ap- peared Tuesday morning were accompanied in many instances by friends who led them. They were destitute. The rule is that they must have been in the city a year before receiving money, and they must not have been in a city institution within that year. Those who are i'll or unable to appear to get the money are looked up by the Out door Poor department and the money is paid to them wherever they happen to be.

DON'T WASTE YOUR AMMUNIrIoN From the Mobile Register

From the Mobile Register.
 People who are cutting out paper pat terms for the next state campaign will do well to draw a line straight through the constitutional question idea. They may as well recognize now that we shall not have new constitution until the white people of the state, as represented by the demo- cratic party, is of one opinion in favor of it; also, that Governor Johnston and his friends are committed to opposition, and every incident of the recent quarrel has in- tensifed the feeling. Of course. the re- sponsibility for this state of things rests upon the opposition, but it professes to be able to stand it. What we wish to impress upon the public mind is that even if the constitution makers were to defeat the op- position on this question, the condition of affairs in Alabama is such that there would be no acquiescence by the minority and no support given by the minority; in which case the making of a new constitu- tion would become exceedingly difficult and the result be unsatisfactory. The real is- sue before tho people of the state is the existence and maintenance of boss rule, and We will do well not to complicate the fight against 1t with an idle struggle in behalf of a new constitution. We know who is responsible for a continuance, of the evil conditions in the "black belt" Having done our best to bring about reform and failed through no fault of ours, we must shelve the reform issue and turn attention to the most important, because the more pressing one of downing the political ma- chine the boss has put in operation for the purpose of negativing the desires of the men who have fought for and preserved white mans government in Alabama.

 The question will never be settled. Prejudice stands in the way. The public would not like a fat Hamlet. It would as soon see a fat Ophelia or Juliet or lean Fallstaff Hamlet will remain to the end of time the lean and melancholy Dane. Had he been fat he never would have been melancholy, and that he was melancholy no one will deny.

Not a few countries constantly use
two standards of time. This is not
troublesome at all when we consider
that, before the adoption of the hour
zones, the railroads across our own
continent employed about seventy
standards of time in making up their
time tables. Railroads and telegraphs
throughout Spain use Madrid time, but
for all other purposes the official time
