She has only studied in Paris two years, and this fact alone adds to the distinction of her work being recognized That this Bir- mingham girl has achieved such marked success in so short a time shows her charm as a portrait painter and at the same time furnishes another illustration of the determination and pluck of the Ameri- can girl For young girl to take up life in the Latin Quarter to make name for herself in the Julien school and in less than two years to have a portrait hung in the salon is a record that is not always cabled back to America. That Miss Smith has won this unusual distinction places her conspicuously in the group of Ala bama women who are in the public eye today.

PYTH[ANS WILL
 PAY THE POLICY
Supreme Court Decides in Favor
 of Mrs. Withers.
WENT UP FROM HALE COURT
United States Supreme Court, When Plaintiff Was Given
 Judgment for Amount

Washington, April 9.-The opinion of the circuit court of appeals for the Fifth cir cuit in the case of the Knights of Pythias ys. Josephine R. Withers was affirmed to- day by the supreme court in an opinion by Justice Brown. The action was originally begun in the circuit court of Hale county, Alabama, by Mrs Withers to recover Of the Knights of Pythas the amount of policy of insurance upon the life of her husband
 The payment of the policy was resisted on the ground that the secretary Of the section in which Withers resided had failed to make his return of premiums paid within the time required by the regulations of the board of control located in Chicago
 These regulations required that the full amount of dues of each section should be paid by the end of the month in which they were due, failure to comply with which would work the forfeiture of the policy. Withers promptly paid his dues uI to October 10, 1885, but the secretary of the order for his section had failed to make his remittance until the 4th of November following. The board of control there upon suspended the entire section, after ward restoring all the members who were still living at the date of the receipt of the remittance. Withers had died on the 1st of November and the order refused to pay his policy The Pythians took the po- sition that the secretary was the agent of the insured only, and not the agent of the order and that therefore the board was not responsible for his neglect. The supreme court, however, refused to accept this view, Justice Browns opinion holding the secretary to be the agent of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias, and the order responsible for the full sum of the policy regardless of the negligence of the secretary of the Withers section.

DIFFICULTY IN
 MANNING SHIPS Suggested That Some of Wat sons Squadron be Withdrawn. NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN In View of Necessity for Keeping Large Force in Asiatio Waters No
 Change May be Made
 at Present
NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN

Washington, April 9.-The difficulty in
 securing sufficient number of sailors to man the new battleships and other naval
 craft which are being turned out by our
 shipbuilders has led to the renewal in
 some quarters of the suggestion that some
 larger vessels of Admiral Watson's squad
 ron be withdrawn from the Philippines to
 make up the complement of the new ships
 at home. It Is stated at the navy depart
 ment, however, that no action in that di-
 rection has been determined upon, and in
 view of the expected arrival of the Asi-
 atic squadron within fortnight of Ad-
 miral Kempf and the ensuing division of
 the naval force on the station into two squadrons, it is not contemplated that any change will be made.
 The navy department officials realize
 that for the purpose for which the navy is now employed in the Philippines small light draught gunboats are more available than big battleships and monitors with
 their numerous crews. Still, conditions in the east are so unsettled as to make a withdrawal of any portion of the large United States force doubtful at this
 time in view of the possibility of whole
 sale demands for protection of American
 interests from points on the mainland of Asia. It is possible that a consideration
 of the possibilities in this direction has influenced the navy department in the dis position of the ships in the east though it is also possible that Admiral Watson
 himself has seen fit to give the necessary orders without instructions from aWsh- ington.
 However that may be, 1t has been so arranged that an American warship will be at hand for some time to come at no less than three properly distributed points on the mainland, which will serve as sta tions of refuge in case they are needed Thus, at Honk Kong, there are now two vessels, and these are from time to time relieved by others needing repairs. At Foo Chow, the Yorktown will spend some time in dry dock. The Castine is under going repairs further north at Shanghai, and the Wheeling is lying in the mouth of the river at Taku.

THE GRIEVANCE
 OF THE OPERAT 0RS
President Powell Has Not An- nounced Result of Vote on
 Ordering a Strike.

Atlanta, Ga., April 9-President Powell of the Order of Railroad Photographers was not prepared tonight to announce the re- suit of the vote now being taken among the operators on the Southern railway to decide the manner of settling their alleged grievances.
 General Manager Cannon of the South ern has issued a circular to the telegraph operators employed by the road, reviewing at length the correspondence he has had with President Powell, concerning alleged tn company.
 MT. Cannon quotes pertinent extracts from the letters that have passed between himself and MT. Powell and gives steno- graphic notes of conversation had with MT. Powell in Washington last February. MT. Cannon sums the matter up in a dis passionate way, and the desire is ex- pressed to do only what is right and just by the employees of the ruad
 In aninterview tonight, MT. Powell said: MT. Gannon's statement that no disat- isfaction exists among the employees Of the Southern does not appear consistent in view of the fact that a committee of con- ductors left Atlanta last night for Wash ington, and will appear before General Manager Cannon tomorrow for the pur- pose of taking up matters affecting the interests of members of the order of Rail- way Conductors.
