The Taft commission has appointed
a supervisor who in a short time will
begin to take a census of the Philip-
pine Islands. The purpose is no only
to determine more accurately the num-
Der of inhabitants, but also to discover
the mineral and agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles, and the social conditions which
prevail in the islands. Those emu
merators who think they had a hard
time gathering facts for the census
just completed in this country will
sympathize with the enumerators in
the Philippines, where there are 50
Tribes speaking nearly as many dia-
Iects, n where many of the natives
still have their mausers and their bo-
los hidden in their huts.

The frugality of an unnaturalize1
foreigner living at Hackensack, N. j.,
caused his deportation to England the
other day and put him to double the
expense he wished to say Joseph
Jones, an Englishman, lived at Hack
ensack for ten years without getting
his papers. Recently he heard that an
inheritance of So, 1000 awaited him in
England. He sailed over and got the
money. He sent all of it to his wife,
except barely enough to carry him
back across the Atlantic. When he
arrived pennies at New York, the au-
thorities laughed at his story of for
tune and promptly sent him back to
England. Now he will have to write
to America for the money and do it
all over again.

A. R. Julian was a preacher at Cha
dron, Neb., three years ago. In the
estimation of his flock he was ! doing
good work, but was unable to reach
his own ideal of what a pastor should
be. Therefore he bought a newspaper
which he ran in vigorous, clean style
for over two years. And now, feeling
confident that his editorial experience
has left him better fitted for pulpit
eering, he has sold his paper and will
re-enter the ministry.

There is a far more widespread in
terest in politics among the women
of England than among their sisters
on this side of the Atlantic. The
smart set in London all take an active
part in affairs. There is a Tory wo-
mans club in the English capital
known as the Primrose Danes, and a
more serious body, the Women's Lib
eral Federation, makes it's influence
felt in constituencies. Then there
are large numbers of women who dc
not register under any banner, but
they can be counted upon to forward
such political questions as appeal to
them.

Goes TO Paris

Mrs. Martha S. Gielow has been ap-
pointed by Gov. Johnston to represent
Alabama at the Paris Exposition and
she will go over some time in June in
Miss Martha Young's party. For sew
eral years Mrs. Gielow has been giving
lectures before the boards of education
in New York and Brooklyn on cotton
culture and the industries of the south
and has several hundred handsome
slides, from which she shows magnifi-
cent stereopticon views of the most
prominent industries and places of Ala
bama and the south, and she will add
to this already fine collection and in a
place arranged for her in the exposi-
ton, show them, and no doubt be the
means of drawing much interest to
Alabama and the South, from France
and abroad, as she has already done
from the North. In the Berkeley Ly-
ceum, in Brooklyn-where sometimes
her audience is nearly three thousand
she has hundreds of inquiries in regard
to pictures of interest she shows: and
her lecture on Colonial Virginia and
the beautiful Luray caverns have been
the means of hundreds of tourists going
there. This wonderful little woman,
whose success in all she has under
taken has been so phenomenal, cannot
be too highly commended. Greensboro

Parliamentary Law

One of the effects of the increase of
the organizations among women, of the
formation of state, national, and inter-
national societies, is the conviction that
has been forced upon the conservative
woman that knowledge of parliament
tary law is an absolute necessity to the
right conduct of business in the affairs
of every organized body. Even the
woman of the most sluggish brain be-
gins to perceive that she still remains a
female though she has learned the diff
ference between question of privilege
and a question of order. Women are
gradually awaking from that ignorance
which was blissful because it was so
dense that no ray of light could pene-
trate it to show them themselves as
others saw them. AS women become
more and more developed intellectually
the greater their desire for knowledge
and the more critical they become as to
their deficiencies. The intricacies of
parliamentary law begin now to reveal
themselves to our women OF intelli-
gence and they are no longer satisfied
with little learning in this field. 1t
is proposed therefore to devote limit
ed space Of THE CHILHoWEE ECHO to
queries which may be made in regard
to parliamentary questions which may
arise from time to time in the transac-
ton of club business. If members will
send the queries from week to week as
the questions may be brought forward
in their clubs it will no doubt prove
both interesting and instructive.
QUERIES.
l. Is it disrespectful to a president to
use a postal card in making an official
communication?
2. Should communication to the
president be always sent through the
medium of the corresponding secretary?
3. Should members desire call meet
ing to whom should the communication
be addressed?

official organ of the State Federation, a
copy of this issue is sent to the presi-

most earnestly solicited to the end
that the members of the clubs may
lend us their aid in making the club
department of vital and practical use
in the carrying on of the good work
for which the various clubs of the
state have been organized, and in
bringing the members of the clubs into
closer sympathy, thus conducting to
mutual helpfulness along all lines.

Clubs Elsewhere

what club women in sister states are
doing, and each week we will try and
give brief account of the work of diff

Federation the following ladies, who
represent the highest and best types of
southern womanhood, were elected Off
GERS for the ensuing year.
President, Mrs. John London, of Bir-
mingham; First Vice President, Mrs. J.
D. Wyker, New Decatur: Second Vice
President, Mrs. Chappell Cory, Mont
gomery; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs.
J. F. Graham, Birmingham; Recording
Secretary, Mrs. w. f. Johnston, Annis-
ton: Treasurer, Mrs. Walter Gu!ley,
Tuscaloosa. The social side of the con-
ventiOn was magnificent success. The
reception to the delegates, by the Biz.
mingham Woman's Club, on Wednes-
day afternoon was one of the most elab-
crate and brilliant in the social history
of Alabama. The concert by the Treble
Clef, the reception at Mrs. r. H. Pear

Club were all complete, delightful and
perfect in their way.
A brilliant state convention has just

LOSS OF POPULATION IN RURAL
TOWNSHIPS.
YOUR FATHER

The census returns thus far an
nOunced show that the movement Of
the population from the farms to the
cities and towns is increasing. This
tendency has been noticeable in this
country through several decades. In
many of the purely agricultural town.
slips the census returns will reveal
decided falling off of population since
1890. The counties as whole may
show an increase, but the gain for the
most part has taken place in the cities
and boroughs within their borders.
If the history of other countries Illus
trates the law of the growth of urban
and rural population the movement
from the countryside will proceed in
this country for an indefinite period
The London Telegraph, in comment
ing OH the probable showing of the
next British census, which will be
taken March 81, 1901, says with respect
to England that for nearly 1000 years
the decline of rural districts, as to pop
ulation, caused by the growth of towns
has been the subject of comment, and
the successive censuses chronicle the
progress of the movement. The Tele-
graph cites eleven purely rural English
counties which have been declining
during the last len years. The natural
increase of these counties was consider
able, but was more than offset by the
migration to the cities.
The tendency of the great centers of
population TO increase at rapid pace
at the expense of the countryside seems
to be irresistible. 1t has its compcnsa-
ton in degree in the increase of the
consumers of agricultural products. A
decrease in the number of taxpayers in
a rural township and a decline in farm
values make it more difficult to MAIN
tain roads, schools, or other public ia
c.lities and improvements at the high
est stage of efficiency. The exit OF the
rural population in yearly increasing
numbers is serious check to material
aud social development. The demser
settlement of the districts near the
cities is observable as the result of the
cheap electric railway communication.
This is u reactionary movement.
