A Tropical Orchard
On South Highlands

One need not journey West to enjoy glimpse of a tree weighted with lucious peaches for Birmingham can furnish parallel story to the wonderful stories of California fruit ranches. Along the superb terraces in Twelfth avenue on the South Highlands where number of the most beautiful private residences are built the grounds are so extensive that the owners are encouraged to plant gardens and orch ards and vineyards, that when either in bloom or bearing fruit give a most typi- background. Captain and Mrs. w. c. Ward, who own one of the handsomest homes along this famous beautiful terrace, have been particularly rewarded for the care of an orchard and vineyard that is just now bearing the most delicious of fruits. In the orchard there is large tree so heav- fly ladened with beautiful peaches that it really surpasses the photographs that a California furdt grower would spring on a credulous investor. The peaches are fully as large those shipped from California and have a delicious flavor. It is difficult to imagine the tropical and luxuriant ap- pearance of this tree, and an estimate of t--e number of peaches could not be made with any degree of accuracy.

 The Chinese Trouble

The Chinese IfOuDle It is said that there is no woman in America who more deeply deplores the out rages in China than does Mime. Wu, wife of the Chinese Minister, who takes an in- telligent interest in everything pertaining to life as she finds 1t in this country. A writer in the Philadelphia Record writes thus of Mime. Wu and her official life in Washington:
 Mime. wu has not changed her garb for that worn by American women. Even If she had fancy to do so, her official position would prevent, as her husband Is sure that her health would be less robust if she adopted Paris and American fash ions. But in some ways she has become quite like the average Washington woman, with many interests in common with the women whom she constantly meets. The secuson that would surround her in Chi na necessarily has had to give way here, and Mme. Wu frequently accompanies her husband to social functions, and is always a most attractive figure In her exquisite silk robes, silky hair beautifully adorned with jeweled fans and quaint ornaments, and little hands loaded with magnificent rings. Minister Wu laughingly complains that madame has developed an expensive taste for diamonds since coming to Amer ica. At home she was content with jade and other ornaments, but now she delights in diamonds and in short time she has accumulated some beautiful stones
 Mime. Wu is of lively temperament, and quick to respond to either humor or sentiment She has become warmly at tached to several American women. The Chinese Minister is an accomplished lin guist, but his wife is not so clever in this respect. She speaks just a little English enough to meet the ordinary exigencies of formal receptions Her accent is consid- cred charming, and she hopes in another year to have added considerably to her English vocabulary. She can carry on a more sustained conversation in French than In English. In her own tongue she is a fluent conversationalist, and keeps herself we'll informed on all the topics ol the times."

is already surplus of $15O,OOO, 600 in

Congress hesitate to repeal those unnec-
essary and irritating taxes which are
forced on the attention Of the people
when they buy medicines, send kilograms
or express packages, take out insurance,
purchase land, give notes, draw checks,

Der of the ways and means committee
said the other day that he considered the
taxes ON proprietary medicines burden

belief that they should be among the first
to be done away with. 1t is altogether
likely that the first features Of the law
to be repealed will be those relating to
taxes upon such medicines and others
which do not yield much revenue, and are
troublesome to those who have to fix the

AGUINALDO IN MANILA.

Letters to War Department Intimate
He Is Hiding There.
In the mail from Manila, which arriv-
ed at the War Department on Friday,
there were at least two communications
expressing the conviction that Aguinaldo
is hiding in that city. One Of these let
tiers is from a United States secret ser
vice official, who has found conclusive
evidence that the Tagal leader had been
in Manila since the rebel armies in Luzon
were dispersed, and who was satisfied
that, as he had not escaped by water,
he was probably still concealed in the
native part Of the town. The other let
ter was from an army officer attached TO
headquarters, who voiced the opinion OF
all the higher military authorities that
Aguinaldo was certainly not in any OF
Che outlying districts on the island Of
Luzon.

Senate Committee Favors Uneeatin9
of the Montana Member.
Senator CLARK Of Montana was declar-
ed illegally seated in a unanimous report
agreed upon by the Senate committee on
privileges and elections Tuesday. The
report is understood to recommend that
the seat of the Montana millionaire be
declared vacant, owing to the testimony
submitted before the committee, showing
that corruption money was employed in
securing his election. The unanimous
adverse to Senator Clark, a WASH
ington correspondent says, was sur
prise, inasmuch as it was generally be-
lieved that a minority report would be
delivered by Chairman Chandler and Mr..
McComas of the committee, which has
devoted several months to an investiga-
