 Their Lenten meetings will take up Ma poleon In Italy, Italian industries, united Italy and the separation of church and state; the Italian operas and writers; Vic tor Emanuel II, Leo XIII, the Vatican. At the approach of Easter they will hear the carols st St. Peters.
 The Nineteenth Century Club young women are continuing their research of the progress of European civilization. They discuss every thing from our Keltc Leg acies to what the Saracens gave to Europe q have forgotten exactly what it was, but I know an entire afternoon was given over to iD. There are poetioal subjects beauti- fully handled by poetical women. "The Shadow ot the Crescent on the West" the story of Tristen and Isolde, and Arthurian legends, the myths of northern lands The Lenten afternoons will be devoted to dis cussion of the Feudal system, the Emperor versus the Pope; the effects of the Cru sades, society, political, educational, mon archy the prevailing force of European civilization and similar light themes
 The Highland Book Club women are quite fn-de-sicle. They discuss at their delightful mornings nineteenth century themes and other practical subjects. Their meeting last Wednesday was devoted to the fascinating subject of the drama and the stage, the morning being unusually in- teresting by the personal "reminiscences of a guest who knows many of the great tors of the day. This club of charming and gifted women is naturally abreast with ali latter-day movements, and their study of the present period keeps them in active touch with the great questions that agtate the world. It may be said that this club has something of the influtnce of salon, since it's brilliant discussions are along the line of timely topics; and as in the days when the women of the French salon wield- ed an influence, so might these in their clever views of present conditions mold an empire Cor disorganiZe a republic).
 The Edgewood Club, a coterie of thirty bright women, are also concerning them selves with the nineteenth century; it's music, its art, its literature. They have special lecture days when they enjoy dls cussions upon subjects that lead them Into the economic conditions of women the laws, their needs, their interests and pur- suits. Their work takes them into every civilized country; today 1t is the dramatic glory of Spain, tomorrow the grandeur that was Romes.

thing and that was that the bill should be fairly treated and discussed in the Leg islature and receive an honest vote there. All were willing to abide by the decision of the honorable body. The part regretted was that so temperate and so humane bill, and one that the public so unani- mousy endorsed, should be 'smothered' in committee But there Is encouragement for the future in the unity of action, the enthusiasm and the earnest resolve on the part of so large number of Alabamas citizens for the protection of her future citizens that augurs we'll for the future. The people of Alabama owe debt of grat- itude to Miss Irene Ashby, who by sweet womanliness and earnestness of purpose made a friend and admirer not only Of every supporter of the proposed bill, but of all its opponents as well, a debt which can only be paid by the passage of such bill"

when our own playwrights are giving us such clean, strong, healthy, thrilling plays as '"rhe Little Minister" sherlock Holmes." "Shore Acres" The Old Home stead" and Away Down East"
 When we could see the noblest tragedies of Shakespeake and the most brilliant dramas of all the ages, why should our footlights most often glare upon musical farces and vulgar pallets?
 We are prone to lay the fault at the doors of the great managers who send out these companies, but by all the laws of economics they naturally send out the class of plays that the public demands.
 Every one has a stone to sling at city politics, but few have the time to reform said politics. So with the stage; good peo- pie condemn theatres as infamous, and speedily they become so.
 Until the best element of our population demands the best plays we will always be put off with second best.
 It is with pleasure we learn of the suc- cess of the English Opera Company-fnan- clally. It seems that Messrs. Grau and Savage knew what they were about, and the union of their forces was a brilliant financial move.
 English opera" says the Literary D- gest, "has been a snare and delusion and might just as well have been called Choctaw or Chickasaw." We knew there has been great deal of nonsense written upon the subject of the non-adaptive char acteristics of the English language to the requirements of musical expression, but if the translators are scholarly men and mas ters of their art, this stupid talk will stop and be heard no more. There is not the slightest reason why the English versions of Faust" Carmen" 'Il Trovatore," "Lohengrin' and "Mignon should not sing as 1uently and smoothly do the delicious creations of Gilbert when set to the sweet music of Sir Arthur Sullivan

Age of Americans
Has Been Raised a Year
Since 1890.
The Average Age Now Exceeds
81 Years.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The census
bureau has announced the mortality
statistics for the year 1900 w. A..
King, chief of the vital statistics di-
vision, says: THE most important
feature of the results presented is
found in the decrease in the general
death rate in the registration area of
Is per LOCO of population, a decrease
of nearly 10 per cent, and the de-
crease in the rates from the particu-
lar diseases to which the general de-
crease Is due.
THE effect of the advances made in
medical science and sanitation and
in the preventive and restrictive mea-
sures enforced by the health authorit-
les is still more strikingly shown in
the comparative rate for the regis
tration cities of the country taken to-
gether. In 1890 the death rate in 271
registration cities of 5000 or more
population was 21 per 1000; in 1900
the rate was 1876 per 1,000; 341
cities of 5000 population and upward
a reduction if "a per 1000. The gross
population of the cities comprehended
was 14,95S,254 in 1890 and u, $3.50. .631
in 1900.
The entire significance of these
figures can be properly weighed only
when the rates for the individual
cities are considered in connection with
known conditions of local improve
ments in sanitation and health regula-
tions-factors which are not of a
statistical nature and which were not
developed by the inquiries in the
schedules.
"The decrease in the general death
rate and in the rates due to diseases
most frequent in the early years of
life, on one hand, and the increase in
the rates due to those diseases oc-
cusring generally at advanced ages,
on che other, mean also increased
longevity.
eThe average age at death in 1890
was 31.1 years; in 1900 it was 35.2
years.
"The total number of deaths report
ed in 1900 was 1,O39,094; in 1890 it
was S41, ,419. The increase was there
fore 197,695 or 23.5 per cent. AS the
percentage of increase in the popula-
ton was about 20.7 this indicates
more complete return of deaths than
in 1890.
