The Democrats made another bril-
liant pfO-trust record during the same
session Of Congress. Representative
Richardson OF Tennessee, Democrat.
tried to assist the Sugar Trust BY Of
feeing q joint resolution to admit Gu
ban and Porto Rlcan sugar free Of
duty.
The remission Of that duty would
have amounted TO about <25, ,O00. 900

Lean members Of the committee.
It was also proposed by Senator
Jones, Democratic national chairman,
and Mr.. Bryan's manager, to return
the duties paid ON Porto Rican sugar
and molasses, mot to the Porto Ricans,
but % the persons who paid these du-
ttos.
This amounted at the time to g..

Every line Of legislatiou now ON the

trade combinations was placed there
BY the Republicans.
That there b not more stringent law

ties, as represented In Congress, went
on record ON the trust question was ON

The question to submit 1t was lost
by vote Of 1b4 yeas to 132 nays.
OF the yeas 140 were Republicans
and only i've were Democrats. The
i've were Campbell OF Montana, Ma

trust killers voted nny. They de-
clineti to give Congress the power to
grapple with the trusts. The Demo-
Gratis indulged In spasms Of virtue for
two days, denouncing the trusts, and
then voted to. continue them.
In one OF Mr.. Bryan's recent speeches
he gave the Republican remedy az the
final one he would adopt. In case he
was elected and all other means failed.
In other words Mr.. Bryan admits the
value OF the Republican idea, but
wants to try other measures first. He
has not said what those measures are
to be.
Some trusts operate all over the
country; others, like the New York Ice
Trust. operate In a single city. The
requisite power to reach each and all
and bring them within the federal law
was denied by margin OF thirty-six

Mrs. morqan's Beautiful Studio

That Birmingham's artistic set has been charmingly augmented by the coming of Mrs. Carrie Watson Morgan was generally acknowledged yesterday. when she formally opened her studio, the occasion bringing to- gether not only the artists of the city, but numbers of other women who are inter- ested in art development and gratified that Birmingham seems to encourage the coming of well-l1nown artists of other cities. There Is sufficient indication of the growth of the artistic life of the city, and the induce ments that Birmingham offers to artists, from the very fact that its art colony Is being annually augmented by women dis- tinguished in their profession. This fact further indicates that Birmingham is des- tined to be not only city of great indus tries, but that 1t Is by no means indiffer- ent to the development of the artistic life; that it encourages and fosters all efforts that tend for both art and musical progress Is plainly evident in its position in both the
 musical and art world, and by the very fact that many names in it's musical and art set would give distinction to any city in the world
 BirmAngham's recognition of this fact, to- gether with the encouragement that it gives to artists, was discussed yesterday by group of women in Mrs. Morgans studio, and woman who is herself an artist, while admitting that there was much to encour- age art development here. claimed that

 Splendid Work OI the WOman's club of Pratt City

Last Friday evening, with the light streaming for the first time through the open doors of the Public Library, with its beneficent promise of educational advant- ages and moral elevation, was a red-letter day in the short but useful career of the Womans Club of Pratt City.
 Last winter when this band of earnest women had steered their bark, scarcely past the sombre shadows of experiment, the Public Library Association of Pratt City was formed, and this was thought to be something tangible, the working for which would prove the truth of their asser- tion that the organization was irrevocably welded to home and it's best interests and would go far towards allaying the preju- dice which hampered their best efforts. With no encouragement, save that which comes of the knowledge Of well-doing, all , untried in the paths of journalism, these women, mothers, housekeepers, teachers, whose avocations already consumed the greater portion of their time, yet con- quered almost insurmountable difficulties and published a successful special issue Of the Ensley Enterprise. One hundred and live dollars, to be expended for the Public Library, was the result and in the large room of the High School building set aside for and admirably adapted to library pur- poses, rendered beautiful by the palm dec orauons arranged by the library commit tee, the Woman's Club proclaimed itself a public benefactor when the presentation of its handsome gift was made by -nrs. Kirk the club president, who declared that this organization was proud to offer the fruits or It's tabor to the Public Library, the edu- ca ttonal benefits of which must accrue to munity; that some had already felt the benefits of the fulfllment of the clubs philanthropic pledge"
 She spoke Of discouraging difficulties, of criticisms and non-recognition with which the most unseltish efforts of the club had been met in the accomplishing of its work, and finally pledged the club anew to any, thing for the benefit of all regardless of creed, sect or section. To the presentation Professor McNeal, superintendent of the city schools and president of the Library Association, responded He spoke of the noble work being done by the club women or Alabama, of the free scholarships of Montevallo and Tuscaloosa, maintained by them, and of the reformatory at East Lake. as blessings of womans influence and wom- ans work. Professor McNeal. in high terms of praise, thanked the Woman's Club of Pratt City for its unselfsh work in behalf of the library.

 Mrs Morgan uses her own kiln and mas all the facilities for firing the china In her own studio. She will open her classes in china painting immediately and may be found at her studio every day. She will also take orders.
 Later there will be other studios on the same plans with that of Mrs Morgan. Mrs. Raulston, who has recently returned from Chicago, will remove her studio from the Commercial Club building to the Watts building. Mrs. Lowell and Miss Sharpe will open studios adjoining Mrs Raulston, thus making with Mrs. Morgan, a charming coterie of artists who will have adjoining studios, the anticipation of which recalls Du Mauriers description of fam ous studio in the Latin Quarter, where there were alcoves, recesses little hooks and corners to be filled up as time wore on with endless personal knick-knacks, prl- vate properties and acquisitions - things that make a place genial and good to re- member and sweet to muse upon (with fond regreD in after years = except that

Art Club to Meet

In writing along the line of art develop ment, a great deal could be said of the work of Birmingham's Art Club, that popu- lar organization that includes in It's mem- bership 30 many clever women. Miss Nor rison, the president. Is anxious that the club resume its work at once, and she calls a meeting of the members for Saturday morning at 1O:3 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. Truman H. Aldrich, Sr., corner Nine steenth street and Thirteenth avenue The meeting will be an important one, since 1t will be the first since the summer vacation, and the president particularly desires a large attendance.

 to visit this city. The announcement of a troupe of this sort would carry no interest with it if it were not for the fact that the thespians in question are the animal actors of Prof. Gentry's Famous Show Although they give twelve performances week, they never receive any consideration for their labors except that they are well fed and thoroughly cared for by their attend ants. It costs nearly hundred dollars day to feed the entire company, consisting

Hiss Lewis to Open
 Studio in Montgomery

Miss Louise Lewis left yesterday for Montg6slery, where she will open studio for the. winter. There is no young woman who has made any greater success tn her work than has Miss Lewis and there Is certainly no one who more approaches the ideal, for it is everywhere acknowledged that an artist could find no greater ins9s-s- ton than in a study of Miss Lewis herself. She Is both a beauty and an artist, and has naturally shared the admiration whtch h<r work has received. She has studied ebToad and has won great distinction in the art set. Her numerous Birmingham frteESs will wish for her a notably successful win ter in Montgomery.

Social Side of the State
Fair to Be Brilliant

Fair 10 Be Brilliant
 The announcement that General Wheeler and Lieutenant Hobson are to be Birming- hams guests during the State Fair aroused a patriotic interest throughout the city, but particularly have Birmingham women discussed the coming of these heroes with great enthusiasm, since they hope to also have the pleasure of entertaining the mother and sister of the gallant hero of the Merrimac and the daughter of General Wheeler Invitations have been extended to Mrs. Hobson, Miss Annie Hobson and Miss Wheeler and in the event of their acceptance the social side of the fair will be one of notable brilliancy. Plans for en- tertaining the distinguished visitors were discussed at a meeting of Birmingham women yesterday. and while the private events to be given in honor of the ladies in the party will be announced later, the great public function will take place on Thursday afternoon, November $, in the woman's building, when the visitors to the fair will be given opportunity to meet General Wheeler, Lieutenant Hobson and the ladies in their party. A reception com mittee of Birmingham women will be ap pointed and while the reception will be a public one, the details will be arranged with all the elegance that would characterize a beautiful private function. The womans building will be decorated with the Ameri can colors The plans are not fully ma tured, but the presence in the city of Gen. eral Wheeler and Lieutenant Hobson and the ladies in their party will be the occa- sions or a number of brilliant social func- lions
