Laying of Corner Stone al
 Alabama Roy's Reformaiorv

The laying of the corner-stone Of the ad- ministration building of the Alabama Boys Industrial School will take place Thursday afternoon at o'clock. The exercises will be under the auspices of King Solomon's Lodge The Worshipful Grand Master B. Dr. R. M. Cunningham. The occasion will be particularly happy one by reason that the building will be practically completed in few weeks.
 There will be @ meeting of King Solo mons Lodge Thursday afternoon, and upon adjournment the members will proceed to East Lake, whence they will be conveyed to the farm.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham, whose eloquence as a speaker has been so frequently in evidence upon notable occasions in the his tory of Birmingham will make the address and the laying of the cornerstone will be witnessed by a large number of citizens For the convenience of those persons talk ing part in the exercises carriages will meet the cars at East Lake. Several persons have offered to send their traps to East Lake. The distance from the terminus of the cars to the farm is little more than one-half mile, and while many persons would not consider this too great a walking distance, still the facilities for reaching the farm could be amply provided if the citi- zens in Birmingham and East Lake will place their traps or road wagons at the dis posal of the women who are anxious that the exercises will be witnessed by as large a number of citizens as are interested in the establishment of the reformatory for Alabama boys. The occasion will be one in which the entire State is interested, and it will be made doubly impressive by the Masonic ritual.

The Country Club.

On Thursday evening the members of the Country Club and their friends will enjoy a genuine old-fashioned melon party. This being the first one of the kind ever given by the club, it is a matter of grave specu- lation with the Amusement Committee ex- actly how many melons to provide, but some startling statistics on a basis of cheese sandwiches, etc., have been con- suited, and it is earnestly hoped that the supply of melons contracted for will be amply sufficient for all demands, The grounds will be lighted for the occasion by Japanese lanterns and the exercises will begin with a life-like ex- hibition Cat the rear of the club house melon patch), by MT Morton Kirk Moore and MT. John Mcqueen of how to borrow the biggest melon from the patch in safety while in full view of the dog. Absolutely no chunking of rinds will be allowed. There will be no exceptions whatever made to this rule. Guests may, however, chunk as much as they choose at the troubadours, who wil be formed upon an elevated plat form in the moonlight for that purpose.
 The concert, which was to have taken place Thursday by the remarkable McFlib- berry family is again postponed This will be source of genuine regret to the au- dence (and to the McFibberrys as well, who are very fond of melons,, but there are several other very good reasons for the postponement, which is really unavoid- able. MT. Alex McFibberry (who played one season with the Chicagos) was to have pitched a couple of innings, also, for the Flats" in their great game against the "Leans", for the benefit of the Mercy Home on Thursday afternoon, but will not now be able to do so.

 Miss Kussner and Captain Coudert have known each other for four years. They had been engaged to marry but short time. They intended to marry this autumn, but suddenly determined not to longer de- lay their happiness. So. with the elder Mrs. Coudert and Mrs. Kussner they went to the Cathedral yesterday and were made one
 Young Mrs Coudert an American wo- man, has painted miniatures of the lead ing women of New York and London so- ciety, of the Prince of Wales and the im- perial family of Russia She is not only distinguished in her own land, but also Is one Of the principal miniature painters of Europe
 She painted the Czar and other members of the imperial family in the summer of 1899. receiving from them handsome pres ents. besides autograph photographs. Last autumn Miss Kussner added greatly to her reputation by making the long journey to South Africa to paint Cecil Rhodes miniature.
 When the miniature was nearly hmsned threatened hostilities compelled Rhodes to leave for Kimberley, where he was during the siege. Miss Kussner left Cape Town and came here via England.
 Among her warm English friends are the Princess of Wales, Marchioness of Granby, the future Duchess of Rutland. The Mar chioness, who has great talent for draw ing, drew lovely portrait for Miss Russ ner during her last visit to London. It Is interesting to know that the talented Mrs. Coudert is paid from $500 to $1,o0O for one of her miniatures.

WOMAN MISSIONARY
 ' WRITES FROM CHINA
Miss Jennie Evans. of the Presbyterian
 Church, Says Everything Was Grow ing Very Dark on May go.

New York. July 9.-Miss Jennie Evans, for twenty-five years a missionary for the Presbyterian church in China, writes to her sister. Mrs. R. s. P Webster, of Brook lyn, from Tung Chow, May 29, 30 and S1, in part as follows:
 Matters grow darker and darker all about us. Word comes today that one of the railroad depots just out of Pekin (the Pe1n termni for the roads are not allowed inside the city) was burned yesterday by the Boxers and the other is to be burned today. Cars are not running from Tien Tsin to Pekin or Pau Ting Flu to Pekin, and so there are no mails. One of the Methodist out-stations had three houses de- stroyed and nine persons killed, we hear. London missions suffered at one of their out-stations. At the railroad station we hear of no foreigner being killed. A French man got into Pekin with knife-cut in the back of the neck. Foreign soldiers are be- ing sent for, but what can they do when this thing has spread all over the north? We do not know when our turn may come. We can hardly expect our college will es- cape; certainly not If we leave, and if we wished to go, where could we go now? The cars have stopped; how could we get away? The other way by boat would be very dangerous. No, we must stay and pray God to keep us Some of the gentle men have gone into the city to have our highest officials send a guard of soldiers for both our places inside and outisde of the city"
 May 30.-Such an anxious day as this has been, and yet nothing has come. The promised soldiers do not come-a few who did not look like soldiers came, but without guns. Now we find the Tao Tai has none here-we rely alone upon God. Just after breakfast number of us thought to walk into the city to attend prayer meeting, when the report came that the city was full of Boxers and that they were coming out to loot our premises.
 "One of the worst anti-foreign con- manders has his troops stationed from the city gate out to the railroad station. The soldiers say they are not going to fight Boxers. but prevent any foreign settlers from entering the city. l guess it is pretty evident that the Empress Dowageg is at the bottom of this.
 May 31-Au quiet during the night and today we hear fewer rumors than we did yesterday. letter from our minister this noon comforts us. If necessary, when the fifty marines get to Pekin he will try to send us a few-does not certainly promise, but he says he will send down to the gum boat and see if he can get us some guns says he has not much as a pistol at the legaton-not being as well off are here. One thing the Boxers wish to do is to do away with everything foreign. and so they have gone back to their old arms, a gun carried by two men.
 There are no new startling reports from Pekin today. Minister Conger advises us to press our Tao Tai, and if he does not send help send word and he will report at high court in Pekin-he wants to help us all he can."

Mss kussner the Artist
 Weeds Army Officer

Americans have long been interested in the success of Amelia Kussner. the young American woman whose fame as a painter of miniatures is international. She has painted the miniatures of the leading so- ciety women in this country, as well as abroad, and last autumn she added greatly to her reputation by going to South Africa to paint Cecil Rhodes miniature. She was there at the time that Rhodes was com pelled to leave for Kimberley.
 Miss Kussner returned home by way of England, and short time after this her engagement to Captain Charles du Pont Coudert was announced. The latter had just returned from the Philippines, and the wedding was to have occurred this autumn, but on Wednesday it was de- cided to no longer delay the marriage, and the ceremony was performed on that day at St. Patricks Cathedral in New York. The World tells the story:
 Miss Amelia Kussner, the celebrated painter of miniatures, was married to Cap tain du Pont Coudert, in the vestry of St. Patrick's Cathedral, last evening. The Rev. Father Daly officiated. Only the mothers of the bride and bridegroom, Mrs. Charles Coudert and Mrs. Kussner, were present.
 Young Captain Coudert and his charming and accomplished wife went to the Hotel Savoy, and will sail on the Majestic today for a honeymoon trip that will last two months.
 The bride yesterday wore a gown of blue "of the pastel shade,'' whatever that may be- She had on a pink chiffon hat and, necessarily, never looked handsomer nor happier. When she and her husband return from Europe they will live at No. 53 West Forty-eighth street.
 This house, completely furnished, was Mrs. Coudert's wedding present to her son.
 Captain Coudert, who is perhaps 2S years old is the son of the late Charles Coudert, the distinguished lawyer, and so a nephew of Frederick R. Coudert.
 Captain Coudert was graduated from Co., lumbia University, and was admitted to the bar in 1898. He gained his military title in the Spanish war. President Mckinley nom mated him to be a commissary with the rank of captain. He was on duty in Wash ington for a while, but desired active ser-
