FLORIDA AND ALABAMA.
From the N. r. Sun.

From the N. r. Sun
 There is humorist named Jacoby in the Florida Legislature. He evidently comes from some part of the State that Is we'll to the eastward of the section where in there is said to be public, sentiment in favor of scission and annexation to Ala bama To offset the movement for the di- vision of Florida and the consequent ag- grandizement of Alabama. MT. Jacoby has introduced at Tallahassee a bill pro- viding for the annexation of the entire State of Alabama to Florida, when the consent of Alabama and of the Congress of the United States has been obtained.
 Although this legislation Is proposed in the spirit of burlesque by MT. Jacoby, the elimination of Alabama from the sister, hood would be perfectly constitutional, under these conditions: First, that Flori- da should vote, through It's Legislature, to unite with Alabama; secondly, that Alabama should consent, through it's Leg islature. to unite with Florida; and, third ly, that Congress should ratify the union.
 But supposing that all of these condi- ,tions should be fulfilled would the pur- pose of MT. Jacoby be accomplished? The new State formed by the junction of the two old States would be neither the old Florida nor the old Alabama. It would no more continue the corporate existence of Florida than 1t would continue the corpor- ate existence of Alabama It would be a new State. whether 1t were named Florida or Alabama or Floribama or Alarida or Apalachicola. It would eliminate Ala bama, but 1t would eliminate Florida at the same time. It would put one new star in the flag in the place of two old stars which would disappear.
 MT. Jacoby should revise his bill, if he wants to be severe on Alabama. He de- feats himself by attempting to extinguish Alabama outright. For satirical purposes Ire should leave that fine old Common wealth some territory on which to maln- tain its historical name; let us say, the section north of the Tennessee River, or The section west of the Tombigbee.

TUskEoEE's GREAT WORK.

From the New York Journal.
 The inauguration of Phelps Hall at Tus- kegee Institute will be a notable event. The presence of the distinguished party of clergymen and other well-l<nown citi- zens taken to Tuskegee by MT. Robert c. Ogden will testify to the interest aroused by the remarkable work of the head of the institute Booker T. Washington. If the race problem can be solved on Amer ican soil Tuskegee Institute will solve 1t.
 There are only three effective ways of dealing with the negro. We can kill him. deport him, or eliminate him. The first solution of the problem is barred; the second Is impracticable without a more earnest desire for it. on the part of both races than they have exhibited as yet. and only the third Is left.
 But education has more than one mean ing Too many people who tried to edu- cate the negro in the years after emanci- patton thought 1t meant merely book learning The result was the creation of a class of idle. vicious young negroes too vain for the humble tasks that had con- tented their parents and not fitted for anything better.
 MT Washington has built on the theory that the first thing to teach an ambitious youth of his race is how to make an hon. est living. When the dignity of industry is understood all the refinements of edu- cation may follow.
 If there were more Tuskegee Institutes scattered through the south. there would be fewer lynchings. Booker T. Washing ton is helping to eliminate the survivals of the animal that have kept down his race.

ply did, and being identified with the edu- cational, philanthropical and club inter- ests of. the world at a time when women were beginning to awake 10 the needs Of individual and organized effort, she grew accustomed to being called advanced and continuing her studious work, inves- tigating problems of a philosophical, scientific and religious nature, she de- veloped such original thought that she IS easily one of the great intellectual leaders among women.
 In Birmingham where she spent sev- era1 winters she quickly became an i'm portant factor in the intellectual life or the city, and since her return to her home in Knoxville she has taken up her life there along those channels that made her a conspicuous leader years ago. So | that while she embodied all that spirit of broad development and the qualities required in the intellectual leader of the nineteenth century, she has in the twen- tieth grasped new ideals in accord with it's progress and has become twentieth century leader
 Mrs. French has recently organized In
  which Is called the New Thought Club. the object of which is the investigation of scientific, philosophic and metaphysi- cal subjects
 Mrs. French has opened her handsome house in Cumberland avenue, which was long used as her private residence and on May she proposes to celebrate the half century of her dwelling on this mundane sphere by an informal reception and the opening to the public of free library and reading room In her private resi- dence.
 Mrs. French has also opened her School of Expression in Knoxville and ex- poets to devote the remainder of her life to this work.
 She will give her course of lectures on mental science.' philosophy. science and literature, parliamentary law and voice culture, in which she will have special classes for teachers and children. Mrs. Frenchs methods of teaching are by the study of laws of unity and individuality.
 Mrs French was the founder of the Ossoli Circle of Knoxville, a club of great intellectual force and social pres tige, and the club recently had a portrait painted of the founder and hung on the club walls. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. c. J. McClung.

Arrangementsfor Floral Parade

Out of deference to the wishes of the Birmingham women who intend partici- pating in the flower parade. the commit tee has reconsidered its plan to have the parade take place at Il o'clock Monday morning. The hour for the event has now been fixed at 8 o'clock Monday after noon. It will be followed by the reception at the Southern Club, and the floral ball will be danced that evening at o'clock at the Country Club.
 The announcement that the floral pa- rade would be an early morning festivity threw every woman in town into a flutter of excitement, and if the committee who made the decision could possibly have known the nervous state into which 'so- ciety was thrown at the bare thought of being asked to get It's breakfast and at tire itself fin frou frous by Il o'clock in the morning, it would never have even ventured the suggestion.
 But the committee reserve the right to make suggestions. and the idea of the floral parade committee was so broad and such a public-spirtted one that 1t could not be comprehended by the outside world They considered. 1t seems, the throng of visitors to the city on Monday who would be compelled to catch an early train back home that afternoon.
 With the floral parade scheduled for late afternoon, there would be hundreds of people who would miss this beautiful event since they must catch an early | train There had been complaint from | this direction, and the committee was | olI fear hat mi arise over not seeing the parade. They thought. 1t seems. that with the parade at | 8 o'clock, the reception at the Southern | Club at o'clock the ball at at the l Country Club. that society would be quite exhausted. while on the other hand | if the parade was held at Il o'clock in | the morning. society could enjoy a breath thing spell
 The decision was reached and the com
 mittee did not stop to weigh any other | considerations. But those who were go-
 ing to participate in the parade were in
 open rebellion. Even the flowers shook
 their heads and shivered in silence. The
 chiffon parasols. the picture hats, the
 summer gowns said nay, nay. Pauline!
 Everybody admitted that flower parade
 was a beautiful thing. but before break
 fast it might be a failure. .tH
 These decided shakes of the head were
 conveyed to the committee yesterday l The result was that tho commi.oe --"e entirely penetent It asked to be for-
 given Society should have it's usual Il
 o'clock breakfast. It should have hours
 to deck itself out In paint and powder ha n e
 should be as 1t wanted 1t. and then the
 committee was assured that society could | be counted upon for the flower parade.

Mrs. Nabb Entertains

The card parties at which Mrs Charles H. Nabb entertained Wednesday after noon and yesterday were among the sea- sons most beautiful events and assem- bled more than a hundred women on both occasions The decorations, the luncheon, the entire details were characterized with that distinctive beauty that marks all of Mrs. Nabbs entertainments. The house was elaborately decorated with wild srnilax. It draped the walls and was caught against the lace draperies at the windows. The doorways were wreathed with smilax, and it was entwined about the stairway. Delicate sprays were draped about the cabinet mantels and these were banked with pink carnations and ferns. In the hall the table from which punch was served was decorated with American Beauty roses, and In the background terrace of palms met the sprays of smilax caught on the stairway above.
 The score cards were designed as strawberries and this idea was carried out in the details of the luncheon. The cakes were ornamented with iced straw berries and the bon bons and ices were similarly designed. The souvenirs from which the consolation was drawn were large strawberries.
 The first prize was won on Wednesday by Mrs Robert McLester. It was a cut glass bowl. Mrs. Evans J. Dunn won the second, a cut glass bon bon dish. on cut with Mrs. J. F. Graham. Mrs. Arthur Adams and Mrs. s. L. Ledbetter. Miss Marie Nelson drew the consolation, a sil- yer fern dish. The prizes yesterday in- cluded cut glass claret pitcher. bon bon dish, and silver fern dish.

To Receive Crosses of Honor

The part to be taken by the Daughters of he Confederacy in the memorial exer- cises today will be a conspicuous one. and to them will be due the most impressive feature of the occasion. the bestowal of the Crosses of Honor upon the Confeder- ate Veterans. M
 The exercises will be held in the Audi torium, which will be appropriately dec orated with bunting. This will drape the pictures of the Confederate generals and be used with most artistic effect through out the building.
 Flags will fiutter. and to martial and stirring airs the old soldiers, the Daugh- ters the school children, the hundreds, who by their presence will show that the valor and bravery of the Confederate sol dier are memories ever fresh in southern hearts. It is such gathering as this that will throny the Auditorium this after noon.
 The official programme Is given In an other part or this paper. and including as 1t does several addresses from distin- guished Alabamians. the exercises will be very notable from this point of view alone
 Pelham Chapter. U. D. C., will be rep resented by General Rufus N. Rhodes. Mrs. J. A. Rountree and Mrs. J. A. Mont gomery. the latter making the address presenting the Crosses of Honor.
 Is Is estimated that more than two hun dred veterans will receive the crosses. Of no intrinsic value within themselves yet will these simple bronze crosses be fos- tered as reverently on the breast of a soldier and preserved as carefully as if they were studded with precious jewels.
 After the exercises at the Auditorium, the march to the cemetery will be made and the graves of the Confederate dead decorated with flowers.
 There will be hundreds of children, their arms filled with flowers and who will place them upon the graves they are being taught to reverence. The April sun light will illumine the bronze crosses on the breasts of the men who wore the grey, and the salute to be fired across the graves will take on a deeper signih- canoe.
