Miss Fallon's Successin Dresden

The gossip that comes from Dresden or Alice Fallon is quite as interesting as that which reaches us of the other BIT mingham girls who are studying abroad Miss Fallon is a pupil of Orgenis and she has been invited frequently to sing at Orgenis salons, an honor coveted by all Orgenis pupils. Orgeni belongs 10 very noble family in Hungary the Gorger Saint Gorgen's, and the celeprat- ed teacher, as every one knows, only as stunned the name by which she is known in the world of art. Her only brother ls a baron and a major general in the Aus trian army, and when the baron and baroness visit Orgeni the functions ar ranged in their honor, bringing together as they do the nobility, makes 1t quite an event in the life of a young American girl to be present and sing before such a distinguished assembly. When this particular American girl is an American beauty as well she becomes the very cen ire of all the admiration and all the bar

The D. A. R. Proclamation

At the meeting of General Sumpter Chapter, D. A. R., the past week, Mrs. Charles Read, while making her report of the recent Continental Congress, was asked by Mrs. Albert T. Henley if 1t was true that on the third day of the Con gress the parliamentarian who was a man, was unable to sit up and was said to be intoxicated.
 After the Daughters laughter had sub sided, and Mrs. Read could proceed, she admitted that the man was completely un1tted for his duties on the third day of the Congress and that he was actually seen reclining on the couch in perfectly comatose state.
 The efforts to conduct the Congress by strict parliamentary rules had been too man and he simply could not stand the pressure.
 He was too far gone to be resusticated by artificial methods and had reached the point of being indifferent to anything the Daughters might say or do.
 For the information of all the Daugh. ters who expressed sympathy for the "foored condition of the now famous D A. R. parliamentarian the following spe. cial from Washington will be satisfac- tory:
 MT. Harry H. Smith, former journal clerk of the House, left yesterday Io1 Florida, the victim of nervous prostra. tion MT. Smith acted as parliamentarfan Tor the Daughters of the American Revo. luton at their late Congress here untA Friday evening, when he broke down."

on the invitation of the music department of the club, the chorus of which is direct ed by MT. Charles Washburn
 While the soiree is being given In mid Lent, there is every indication that the club rooms will be thronged for in all cit ies the Lenten musicales are greatly in vogue and well patronized Not only are the members of the Woman's Club inter- ested in MT. Phillips coming, but the mu- sical and social set as we'll for his art Is enthusiastically admired here, where he has appeared twice this season. It was through the efforts of the Ensemble Club that Birmingham had the pleasure of hearing MT Phillips at the beginning of the season, and when later on he returned with the Vanderbilt Glee Club he was given unmistakable evidence of the ap- preciation of a Birmingham audience.
 The tickets fo~ MT. Phillips recital are being sold rapidly, and the occasion will be notable in both the musical and club world. The fact that the distinguished young tenor will appear under the aus pices of the Woman's Club emphasizes the standard that Is being maintained by the club and recalls the statement that was made some time ago that the Wo- mans Club was really becoming the cen ter of social life in that it entertained during the season many of the most dis tinguished representatives of the social, political and artistic world.

A Woman Inpressario.

one of the most interesting factors in the forthcoming appearance of the ceie- brated Leipsic Philharmonic Orchestra. which is touring America and will be heard in Birmingham, Is its management by an enterprising American woman, Mrs Knupfel (nee MaehD, who has attempted what 1t Is said no other manager ever has attempted-the bringing out of a foreign orchestra for tour of the American con- tinent.
 A little sketch of Mrs. Knupfel says:
 Although of distinguished German pa- rentage, Mrs. Knupfel is proud of the fact that she was born in this country Her father, who Is still living in San Francisco, will be remembered as one of the most famous German actors of his time. Indeed old timers will readily re- call the name of Otto Maehl, who has been thought by some one of the best German actors ever seen or heard in this country.
 Norma Maehl was born in Detroit. Mich, on December 8, 1858. She was about three years old when her parents went to California, and 1t was there she grew to womanhood. She married while still quite young rich wine merchant, and { S Mrs. Henry J. A. Stuhr she was for many years a prominent figure In Los Angeles and San Francisco society. Her first ex- perience as an impressario was In organ izing series of charity concerts in San Francisco. which proved so successful that she eventually undertook the direc- tion of the famous Scheel orchestral con- certs in that city, which were maintained for two or three seasons. For tho last two years, since the death of her second husband, Mrs. Knupfel has been Identified with the European tours of the orchestra which she is now bringing to America.'

U. D. C. Meeting.

There has not been a more interesting meeting of the Daughters of the Confed- eracy than that held the past week with Mrs. J. A. Rountree. There was a large attendance and the programme was un- usually delightful, including remininisc- es of the war, many of them being based upon the personal experiences of the heroes through whom the daughters n- tered the chapter The incidents recalled were, therefore, of a most personal na- rure and in many of them a woman figured side by side with some gallant ~oldier. A number of beautiful and touch .ng stories were read by distinguished confederate officers, and among the most n.oresting incidents of the afternoon vas when Mrs. J. A. Montgomery brought tcrth a mans letter and read its con
 cnts. It was written by her father to her mother during the early months of the war and told of success of a very daring expedition. To make the scene all the more pathetic, Mrs Montgomery S mother Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis, was present at the meeting, and related many stirring incidents of the time she received the letter. MT. Rountree told of the beautiful incident of the return of the old confederate flags to the Texas Ran gers by the Indiana regiment. The flag was made by her aunt from her wedding gown.
 Mrs. E. T. Taliaferro, Mrs Joseph F. Johnston, Mrs. c. S. Simmons, Mrs Her man Saks and others gave interesting accounts of war incidents The election of delegates to the approaching conven- tion were elected Mrs. Lewis and Miss Estelle Slaughter were elected delegates and Mrs. Louis Bradfield and Mrs Talia- ferro alternates. The chapter has invited MT. T. c. DeLeon to give lecture some time during the season, the date to be announced later.

position" It is said that the eyes of the baroness were filled with tears as she spoke of the beautiful interpretation of Miss Fallon.
 Orgenic predicts a brilliant future in opera if Miss Fallon is ambitious for an operatic career.
 Miss Fallon will remain in Dresden un- til July when she will go to Paris and sail early in July for New York. It Is her plan to make concert tour in this coun- try, and she has practically closed sev- eral engagements. She will then come to Birmingham, where music-lovers and in- deed all Birmingham, will anticipate the pleasure of hearing her, and where she will be accorded an enthusiastic ovation. Miss Fallon was pupil of the Academy of Music of which Miss Daisy Rowley Is director, and the latter feels naturally personal interest in the success of her pupil
 In letter to Miss Rowley, Miss Fallon once declared that Orgeni's music rooms thronged with counts and eountesses, could not ever be to her the inspiration that she would feel before an audience of Birmingham people, and she added af- fectionately: Tell me of the dear old studio-the studio In which l passed many hoppy hours"

 ''Why is it that in all important town and cities of the South the Daughters the Confederacy have bestowed the Croa of Honor on the Confederate Veteran except In Birmingham? Here is locate Camp Hardee one of the oldest. largesi and most influential camps of the unlte4 Veterans. At present it has an active membership of about 50 men, each one of whom is, in reality, vet eran of many battles an dmost of whom carry the scars of wounds on their bodies.

In the Wilmington election on Sat-

The body will be close, however, as
present returns show that the Repub-

The Republican maiorities on the
