TREA GREGORY
THE ISSUE NOW
Convention Hears Partial Argument
Upon 1t.
THREE STRONG SPEECHES MADE.
Messrs. Duuaway and Gillespie for Treat and
kr. Harrison for Judge Gregory-Mr.
Huutou's Committee After
Court Clerks.
THREE STRONG SPEECHES MADE

The Constitutional Convention was in
session three hours and a half yesterday.
and the chief business transacted was
the partial consideration of The Treat
Gregory contested election case, involT-
ing d seat in that body from the dis
trict composed of the counties OF Han
over and King MILAN.
There were cishiy-two members pres
ent. and there We're but few preliminaries
before the body before The consideration
OF the contested election case.
A resolution was adopted ordering ZOO
copies OF the proceedings of the Mckinley
Memorial exercises to be printed and
bound for use of the members.
A resolution was adopted ordering coun-
ty and circuit clerks to appear at the
bar of the convention and explain their
failure to comply with the law and the
requests of the convention for certain
information, unless they did comply in
five days from date.
DR.. w. T. Dunaway, of Lancaster, who
signed the majority report recommend
ing that United States Marshal Morgan
Treat be given the seat now occupied
in the convention by Judge Roger Greg
Dry, was recognized. and having offered
resolutions in conformity with his re-
port. made strong speech for the ma
iority report. He was followed by
Chairman Harrison, who spoke ably tor
The sitting member. he having previously
offered resolutions to carry into effect
the views of the minority of the COM
mittee, who favor retaining Judge Greg
CRY in his seat. The debate between the
two Democratic leaders was good ma
tnred, but now and then each one
dropped in a few grains of spice. Mr.
Gillespie, one of the Republican mem
hers of the committee, followed Judge
Harrison, and contended ably for the
right of the contestant to have the seat.
10 which he expressed the belief he mad
been fairly chosen. 1t was . O'clock
when Mr.. Gillespie concluded, and the
convention adjourned and nothing was
done to indicate who will lead off to-day.
1t is not unlikely, however, that Dele
gate Tnrnbnll. who has given a great
ceal of thought to the case. will be
among those who will speak for the con-
.estee to-day. The case will probably
oensume nearly all of next week.

THE NUMBER DECREASES.
Fewer Men Employed on Railroads Than Ten
Years AGO

Very interesting figures as to the num-
Der of people employed by railroad com
panies in Virginia have been completed
by Labor Commissioner Doherty. In
1891 there We're 26,Sl8 and in 1899, 25.77Ti
falling off of more than a thousand.
These figures do not include the gene
raj Offices.
The reason for the decrease is that.
with larger engines, cars of greater ca
pacity and many improved facilities, it
requires a lesser number of men to oper-
ate the trains than it did ten years ago.

There is no man who is more willing nor

Montetiore congregation is not wealthy

locality not very desirable for such pur-
poses We desire to build house where
we may worship in some other section of
the city Some of us talked the matter
over as TO how we could best dispose of
our present property. The rafting scheme
met with some favor, but was never fully
decided upon. There are raffles at many
church fairs, and We Gid not think harm
would be done to any one by carrying out
this scheme. Yet. we are not wiling for

rian knowledge. He believes in develop ing the spiritual side of youth as well as the purely intellectual. In the third place the superintendent Is supported by a strong corps of principals and teach CTS. Prof J. B. Cunningham, principal of the High School, is, like Dr. Phillips a scholarly man and he holds the same views as to widening the scope of the public school system. There Is not principal or teacher employed by the city of Birmingham, it Is safe to say, who has not caught some of pr. Phillips enthusiasm and who Is not striving to carry out his theory of teaching This enthusiasm on the part of the teachers Is an inspiration to the children and the majority of boys and girls find that school work, instead of being tedious and dry, Is a real pleasure. They are tractable and they are eager to learn; and when they leave school they have something In their heads, and better still, they have taste for reading and taste for the beautiful.
 The people of Birmingham are not much given to boasting about the ad- vantages of their section, but strange it would be If they did not speak with pride of the public schools.

WHERE BRNNCHANS SART SIT CREATES ITS BOHEMIA
 SOME FAMOUS ARTISTS AND THEIR STUDIOS

mopolitan, artistic, made these condi- tions out of which has grown the uni versai spirit which fosters both art and music. It is this element that has open ed the studios. that Is encouraging the artist of today to believe in Birming- hams future as cosmopolitan art cen ter.
 The patrons or art are exerting each year a stronger influence in developing the artistic life of the city and Birming- ham from both the point of view of the patron and the artist has made rapid pro gross within the past year.
 There is brilliant coterie who has es- tablished itself in charming quarters on the top floors of the Watts building. AL most all of the well known artists have studios there and the coming winter will find this floor occupied almost entirely by the art set.
 Mrs J. B. Raulston one of the most charming and distinguished women in the art colony, was the first to be estab- ished in the Watts building. She has an attractive studio looking over the chin1- ney tops, with a fine view of the sky, and here she may be found all winter long over her china and water colors the most wonderful examples of china, painting that have ever been exhibited here. Mrs. Raulston has her classes in china painting, in water colors and py- rography. She Is spending the summer in Chicago, where she is studying with the world famed Aulich and making a speciality of roses. During her absence in Chicago Mrs. Raulston's studio is being occupied by Edna Smith, the gifted young Birmingham portrait painter, who is just back from Pasis. where she has been in the Julien Academy for threc years. Miss Smith was one of the Amer ican girls whose work was hung in the recent salon.
 Mrs. Carrie Morgan Is among the fa- nous artists in the Birmingham colony, her speciality being water colors and china painting. Her studio is one of the handsomest in the Watts building and she has a class, besides doing great deal of outside work.

CHURCH WORK
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Over Eighty White Congrega- tions in Jefferson County.
 Recent Improvements

In the midst of Birmingham's tremend- ous industrial activity, notwithstanding the high-pressure life involved in a mighty striving for the dollar, the various churches flourish and many of them re- port marked increase this year in re- ligious fervor. The working machinery of the larger denominations was never in so good condition as 1t is to-day. In the Presbyterian and Baptist bodies the Christian Endeavor is exceedingly active and the same may be said of the Epworth League in the Methodist church. The Baptists have also their compactfy organ ized Young Peoples Union. In the Epis- copal church the center of lay influence and activity is in the St. Andrews Broth erhood.
 There are flfty-seven white congrega- tions in Birmingham and It's suburbs and this does not include the churches of Gate City, Pratt City, Ensleyi or Bessemer. In Jefferson county there are over eighty white churches or congregations.
 Birmingham Is stronghold of Presby- terianism; likewise of Methodism; like wise of the Baptists The Episcopalians are quite strong, and the Catholics in the Greater Birmingham. claim to be numer- ically the strongest of all.
 St. Paurs church, of which the Rev. Father o'Reilly is pastor, has a member ship of 2,OOO and the church of Our Lady of Sorrows. of which the Rev. Father Meurer is pastor, has a membership of several hundred. In the county the Cath olics number between nine and ten thou sand.
 In ecclesiastical architecture the First Methodist congregation has the most in- posing ediice, considered from an ex- terior point of view. while St. Paul's is the handsomest on the inside The latter is a notably fine specimen of Gothic art. Either one of these churches would at tract attention in New York.
 Next to the two churches named, St. Mary on- the Highlands and the Church of the Advent, of which the Rev. John G.. Murray and the Rev. pr. o. P. Fitzsim- ons are respectively the rectors.
 In church Improvements in the city dur ing the past twelve months the most strik- ing and costly have been the tower and porch of the Advent, which complete the architectural designs of the building. The next most costly addition in the way of adornment was the beautiful stained glass in St. Mary's. Artistically considered these windows are said ito take precedence over any church decoration found this side of New Orleans. The great window opening on the west is marvclously rich in color and singularly true in drawing
 Another church improvement worthy of especial note was the erection of the com modious and stylish German Evangelical church in Avenue F. It Is built of wood, but is tasteful and substantial.

Fitz- gibbons, whose canvasses are so greatly admired not only in Birmingham, but throughout the South,
 Birmingham enjoys, the distinction of including in it's art set one of the most accomplished miniaturists in America. The name of Caroline C.. Lowell ranks with the famous miniature painters of this country and her work alone would give an art prestige to Birmingham.
 Miss Ethel Sharpe is among the most gifted of the younger women, her water colors being always deserving of favora- ble criticism In the annual exhibitions.
 Mrs. Tipton Is one of the most charm- ing and accomplished women in the art set, her canvasses and sketches receiv- ing the most favorable comment in the exhibitions of the Sketch Club.
 Mrs. Charles c. Washburn is a charm
 Be- -.rFr
 ing and accomplished artist.
 There Is Miss Douglass, whose work is considered most creditable, and the canvasses of Miss HiIl and Miss Robert son are always sought out in the annual exhibitions.
 Mrs. J. A Montgomery is among the most successful artists in the Sketch Club, an dher two sisters. Miss Louise Leis and Miss Bertha Lewis, are consid- cred unusually gifted artists, their water colors and pen and ink sketches showing a distinctive touch.
 Among the leaders in the art set and an enthusiastic patrons of art is Miss Morrison, the president of the Sketch Club, and to whose influence is due so much of the development of the artistic life.
 The influence of the Sketch Club can not be overestimated. It's organization, due to several famous leaders here in the art set, Is doing much to foster art and to them were the patrons of art indebted for the series of studio teas and exhibits last winter. which brought together art ists and patrons in the charming stu dios now the center of art Ifs. On these occasions the studios presented notar bly, brilliant scene, for while they were the artists "bohemia'' on "a home" days, 1t was not unlike wandering through a beautiful gallery. Canvasses turned to the wall on ordinary days were hung where "the light was best" the easels and pal lets were grouped in a corner, and one was allowed to wander from one beautiful studio to another.

SOCIAL CLUBS
 ARE PROSPEROUS
Birmingham We'll Off in Num- Der and Variety of These
 Organizations

No city can lay claim to a metropoli- of clubs, and Birmingham being decid- edly metropolitan is well supplied with clubs.
 Among the leading clubs are the South ern, the Phoenix, the Country. the Ath- letic and the Golf. These organizations are exclusive. and their members repre- sent therefore much of the best citizen- ship of Birmingham.
 The Southern includes most of the "so- ciety men, and during the season gives many brilliant receptions and dances The Phoenix Is composed of prominent and cultured Hebrews. and 1t not only has the largest and most elegant club house here, but gives. it Is said, the most beautiful and lavish entertainments of any of the clubs. The Country Club. situated at North Birmingham, is another exclusive institution. It is charming club and de- lightfui society is seen there in groups large or small, in the afternoons and evenings. The Athletic Club is intended both for physical improvement and social enjoyment. The Golf Club is the young est members of the club group. but 1t is one of the most dourishing.
 The club presidents arc respectively as follows: Southern, W. H. Kettig; Phoenix. M. V. Joseph; Country. 1T. K. Milner; Athletic. solon Jacobs; Golf, J. D. Kirkpatrick.
 The Southern and the Athletic will each erect large building before a great while. probably within the next few months. The design for the Southern Club. made by Walter & Uilman. is beautiful specimen of art. and the new structure will be one of tho most ele- gant not only in Birmingham. but in the South.
 One of tho most potential institutions of Birmingham Is the Commercial Club. of course, known throughout the business world But as 1t has to do chiefly with mercantile and industrial affairs and matters that affect the community as a whole, rather than with "society' life. it will be treated in another sketch.
