W0men's Club Entertains
 Distinguished Guests

Probably the most brilliant reception ever given at the Birmingham Woman's Club was that given yesterday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Robert H. Pearson, ths first president of the club. The interest attached to the occasion was deepened by the added distinction enjoyed by the club in entertaining Mrs Hobson and Lieuten- ant Hobson, who were its guests on this happy occasion.
 The brilliant assembly of club members was augmented by guests from other clubs and as on occasion of the recent reception in honor of Senator Morgan and the Misses Morgan, the club again threw open it's doors to the gentlemen, and their presence made the scene not unlike a gay evening gathering of the winter The club rooms were elaborately decorated with palms. and beyond the long assembly room the tea room. with its yellow floral decorations was charmingly attractive.
 Mrs. Zac Smith, the president of the club Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Hobson ,received together. Lieutenant Hobson with Hon. ] A. VanHoose drove to the club later The

ued Mrs. Jackson, will be used as foun- datien in the construction of a monument to be erected over the grave bearing the names of the departed ones.
 The monument will be eight feet at the base, fourteen feet in height and of pyra- midical shape It will be constructed of white Alabama stone. Tablets of purest white Alabama marble on each structure will bear the names of the brave Tennes- seeans who lost their lives in this historic battle
 ''The marble of which the tablets will be made is taken from the same quary as the specimen sent to the Washington monu- ment as a contribution from Alabama and rejected as being Parian, palmed off on the committee, until proof was forthcoming of its nativity among the Alabama hills.
 'It is a source of patriotic pride and pleasure" said the regent, ito the Andrew Jackson Chapter that our own Alabama and the county of Talladega furnishes all the material for this monument
 Believing that this was an interstate matter" concluded Mrs. Johnson, which should be of national interest and not left to the city of Talladega to deal with alone the Andrew Jackson Chapter sent a memo rial to Congress for an appropriation.
 "We are happy to inform you the memo rial has passed the Senate and been favor ably reported in Congress, and it is hoped to get the bill through at the next session of Congress, appropriating s1O0O0 for monument which will mark with marble pomp the deeds of former years"
 Mrs. John Wyley, regent of the Peter Forney Chapter of Montgomery, was among the notable women at the confer ence. Her interest in the work could be

living in Alabama in 1S4O. They are prob- ably buried in the counties in which they were living at that time and their graves may perhaps be located by their descend- ants. This list Is arranged by counties and I would suggest that the chapters take as a special work the search for the graves supposed to be located in their counties.
 As Chapter Regent I have learned the value of all historical information concern ing the early settlers of Alabama, and particularly those who were descended from Revolutionary soldiers During the year I have read all I could find upon Ala bama history and biography and have pre- pared a list of more than 300 Revolution ary soldiers whose descendants settled in this State. This list gives the name of the soldier, the State claiming his services, the name of a descendant and address. In this list are the names of twenty-seVen soldiers who are buried in Alabama.
 This information was obtained from sev- eral large volumes-Memorial Records of Alabama and North Alabama. These books were prepared before the present popularity of hereditary societies, so the family traditions contained therein were

Young Women to Sew for
 The Boys At the ReiormatOry

There has been no more commendapie movement among the young women of BIT mtngham than their recent determination to form a sewing class for the boys at the Alabama Reformatory. A number Of the most prominent girls in society and several of the most popular young women in the married set held meeting on Friday morn ing with Mrs Hugh Morrow and formuial- ed a charming plan of work for the winter They propose to meet every other Ihurs- day morning at the residence Of Mrs. husli Morrow for the purpose of fashlenlng anu making little garments for the boys at Alabama's industrial schools. It is their de- sire to be able to furnish the little lacs there with warm clothing for the winter, and two Thursdays out of every month Will find a score or more of young women or fashion bending their pretty heads over various little garments to clothe the bodies of the little ones who have no other pro- lection save that of the State.
 The young women who have taken the initiative in this undertaking are those up- on whom the duties of the social world fall most heavily and the Thursday sewing class will have always been preceded by a late eotillon or reception or other events

said a Birmingham woman recently as she was admiring group of superb canvases in the loan exhibit that a Birmingham mer- chant has been enterprising enough to ar range this winter, and which is being talk ed of a great deal in the art set, and joyed by numbers of people whose only knowledge of art has been gained by wan dering through the great art exhibits in New York. The canvases displayed by this Birmingham firm are master pieces; the most superb one being painting by Lau- enty of Pars.> It shows grouping of Flemish clam diggers with a wonderful background of the sea and spray. Lau- renty was student of Millais, and in his figures, in the atmosphere" of his can vases is the indescriable charm that at once is suggestive of Millais.
 A canvas, "The First Smoke" by Hen rici, shows two figures in striking contrast, one a child of fortune and the other a child of the streets-the gamin. Henrici is a New York artist and his master was Brown, whose "boot blacks are famous in
 two continents. "The First Smoke has reproduced perfectly the comraderie of the gamin and thee hild of fortune and the suspicion of distrust on the part of the former as the latter seems to waver in his decision.
 The expression on the two faces is won derfully fascinating.
 "The Market Square, is brilliant scene in Cairo The artist has painted the scene at midday with a vivid sun to bring out the brilliant colorings of the house tops, the awnings over the coffee stalls and the other picturesque details of an Egyptian scene It is a master piece in coloring.
 There are several canvases by w. D. Hulk, the English artist, who was a stu dent of of Rosa Bonheur. A canvas "The Hungarian Horse Fair,' by Harvey, is re- markable in both coloring and action. The perspective is wonderfully striking. This canvas was awarded three prizes in the salon.
 "A Study in Sheep" by Frantz, shows a quiet landscape at twilight. There are other studies by well known
 artists which have attracted attention and altogether the art loan exhibited is one of the most delightful spots to be found in Birmingham these busy days.

not made up to suit the occasion, but have much foundation of truth although some are manifestly exaggerated and inaccurate. The records furnished the State Regent by Mrs. Nell are invaluable and the latter's research has been so systematic and so thorough that her work alone for the D. A. R, Society will go far towards promot- ing it's influence throughout the State, and will be of invaluable assistance to the State Regent
 The patriotic work accomplished by the Andrew Jackson Chapter was beautifully referred to by its regent, who recalled the need of prompt action on the part of her chapter
 "That part of the battlefield containing the dust of the victims of the battle of Talladega recently passed into the hands of the North Alabama Coal and Iron Con- pany," said Mrs Johnson. "The removal of the remains was therefore made neces- sary, as in a few months this hallowed spot would become a waste of slag and cinders, and unless the bodies of the sol diers were removed their graves would be forever obliterated.
 "The chapter applied to the City Council for aid in the contemplated removal. This request was generously granted and lot donated in the City Cemetery for the dust of the valiant Nineteenth who fell in the struggle long ago. On September the bodies of the dead heroes were taken from tEeir resting place of war eighty-seven years and removed to Oak Hill Cemetery"
 with the rustic of the corn and the chanting of the "Ol6 Town Branch" the work of disinterment went on from early morning till the sun went down.
 The morning the remains were re-interred in their final resting place in the City Gem etery. The Andrew Jackson Chapter had representatives on the ground

Mrs. CeciIe Jones' Success as a Reader

The Chicago papers are giving some very complimentary notices to Mrs. Cecile Jones, the wife of D. Robert Jones of Bir- mingham. Mrs. Jones is studying elocu- tion in one of the dramatic schools there, and during the Presidential campaign she was guest at Saturday luncheon of the Iroquois Club. At this occasion she gave several readings which were pronounced very dramatic, and made her in great de- mand at other Chicago clubs The papers have said great deal about Mrs. Jones' success, her handsome stage appearance which has made her greatly admired.
 Mrs. Jones will probably return to Bir- mingham later in November and her friends hope that she will give a reading during the season.

Chicago Chronicle.

Chicago Chronicle.
The first of January, 1901, is looked
upon as the beginning of the TWEEN
tieth century since the birth of
Christ. The probability is, however,
that we entered on the twentieth cen
fury some four years ago. Christ
was born during the reign of Herod,
and Herod died in the Roman year
$50, which was 1903 or 1904 years
ago. Consequently Christ must have
been born at least 1908 or 1904 years
ago.
Not until the sixth century was the
Christian era introduced into Italy
and this date was not used in Eng
land until the eighth century. Diony-
sius, a Roman monk, instituted the
change. He accepted the Christian ira
dition which placed the birth of Christ
in the twenty eighth year of the reign
of Augustus. Dionysius, thinking the
reign of Augustus began on the day
when he assumed the title of Augustus
instead of four years earlier, as was
the fact, miscalculated the birth of
Christ by four years.
The discovery of the error was made
in the early part OF the present cen
tury. but wise men have not seen fit
to suggest a change. Dionysius did not
begin the year with January l, but on
the 25th of March, the date Of the
annunciation of the Virgin Mary.

THE ALTERNATIVE.

The Buffalo Express voicing the
radical lingo element, warns the ad-
ministration that the Philippine war
has come to that point where the gov
eminent must either abandon the war
and concede independence to the ma
tives or adopt the policy Of Weyler in
Cuba and of the English in South At
RIGA, and destroy crops, burn farm
houses, and concentrate the people in
stockades and camps, as far as posi-
bic, while killing as many as may be
in the field, exiting prisoners to distant
islands, hanging officials, etc.
The American people could easily
reconcile themselves to the abandon
ment Of the Philippines, but not so
quickly to the adoption of Spanish tao
tics and policies. the bull-headed ad-
mlnistration persists in demanding of
tao Filipinos unconditional surrender,
and that is the thing it will not get
NO amount of violence will ever sup
press the spirit Of freedom which burns
in the breasts of those far Western
peoples, any more than British atroc-
itios could break the spirit Of the Amer
lean reVolutionists. Complete aban-
Comment of the islands is apparently
out Of the question at present, and
military force is impotent. Why not
try middle course. government
under certain conditions and American
protection, even if temporary, would
save macy lives and much suffering
and money. Two years of warfare
ought to teach the administration at
Washington little common sense.
