Southern states of America"
 Yes, I am from the South, from Ala bama ''
 And what part of Alabama?"
 From Greensboro. the home of one great naval hero Hobson.''
 "Ah, that brave American officer; may l ask if you know him?''
 "IIe is my friend" said Mrs. Gielow to His Royal Highness, and together they chatted of the hero of the Merrimac, the Cuban campaign being at its height at that time.
 And you interpret the negro dialect, the Duke went on. T know something of it, for I have been in the South"
 The Duke declared that he was there fore able to better appreciate Mrs. Gie- lows interpretations. Mrs. Gielow ap- peared before the late Queen Victoria, and during the entire London season was invited to give her dialect sketches at many of the nest fashionable London houses. She was frequently a guest at the garden fetes given at the country houses, and as a member of the Inter national Congress of Women held in London, she was entertained at the home of Lady henry Somerset, at the country house of the Baraness Rothschild and other notable houses.
 Mrs. Gelow recalls most interestingly her London "reminiscences, and as she carries her audiences back to old planta- ton days, so with equal charm she takes her friends hand in hand with her through the countries she has visited and recalls the charming people she has known.
 It is net an exaggeration to say that the South has accepted Mrs. Gielow as it's interpreter of the old black nanny of that old regime. To Mrs. Gielow the black nanny of the long ago is indebt- ed for a faithful impersonation of her many virtues.
 In minstrely. the negro character is made the basis for humorous sketches, that in no way develop a blending of the pathos, the simplicity of the ante-bellum darkey
 But this type, as impersonated by Mrs. Gielow, becomes luminous and the sim plicity of the old black mammy is made the strongest side of her character for 1t Is this quality that Mrs Gielow em- phasizes and that touches the world long after the passing of this picture sque, bandannered figure While Mrs. Gielow Is in Alabama, her two children, a son, MT.

ARTISTS FAREWELL TEA
 TO MISS ROBERTSON
BY ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER.

The studio was further beautified by bowls and vases of white carnations and innumerabe tapers fiickered beneath sil- yer shades. All the lights were softly shaded and Bohemia never seemed more real, more enchanting than when lovely Bohemian was saying her goodbye.
 Tea was served from the most beauti- fully decorated China and from a table decorated with white carnations salad and wafers were served.
 All of Birmingham's most famous art ists were there. including Miss Morrison the president of the Sketch Club, Mrs. Lowell, Mrs. Montgomery. Mrs. Tipton, Miss Douglass, MT, Fitzgibbon and many Jothers.
 Miss Robertson, it is understood, will not give up her work entirely after her marriage. She with Miss Smith opened the School of Art early In the autumn and while Miss Robertson will no longer be connected with the Art School, she will continue to paint. She contemp plates going abroad to study

MISS GIELOW TALKS OF
 LONDON DRAWING ROOMS

The announcement that Mrs. Martha s. Gielow has been advised by her phy- sicians to cancel her engagements for the remainder of the season will be received with regret by hundreds of her friends and admirers throughout the South. Mrs. Cielow, owing to a nervous collapse, has been compelled to sever her connection for the present with the Southern Lyceum Bureau, under the management of which she was booked for season of twenty weeks. Upon the advice of her physicians she is now resting with the hope that within few months she will be able to resume her work.
 Mrs. Gielow was in Birmingham for several days the past week, the guest of Mrs John White. leaving yesterday for Greensboro, where she will visit her ], sister, Mrs. Pickens, and where amid the scenses she so charmingly depicts Eshe will be nursed back to health to -tsiVe again to the world her marvellous impersonation of the South's "black nanny
 During Mrs. Gielow's stay in Birming- ham she was unable to renew the many Friendships made on previous visits, but many inquiries regarding her health, and the hope expressed on all sides that in sunny Alabama she would soon grow strong and well again. The only occa- sion upon which Mrs. Gielow greeted teld friends was on Friday afternoon, wien she was a guest of the Clionian Club at its meeting with Mrs. S. E. Thompson.
 Mrs Gielow did not feel equal to re- citing any of her sketches but at the request of the club members she gave a little informal talk on her reminis- cences of London Drawing Rooms.
 The furor that all London made over Martha Gielow and her sketches of ne gro dialect is an old story. Every one will recall the instantaneous success of her first appearance in London and of the adulation showered upon her by royalty. She was entertained at first one great house and then another, became the

At the Artists tea yesterday afternoon in compliment to Miss Stella Robertson whose marriage to Mir. Henry Robertson will take place Thursday, there were number of brilliant toasts drunk to the happiness of the bride to be, the first toast being proposed by MT. Fitzgibbon, who was unusually eloquent in his reference to Miss Robertsons farewell to her friends in Bohemia. After referring very happi- fy to her approaching marriage he spoke of the reluctance which marked the good byes of her co-workers and closed with the hope that some day, not far distant, she might retrace her steps to the land Of Bohemia. Let us drink to the happi- ness of the fair bride to be-" said MT. Fitzgibbon. a toast to which the pretty bride responded very gracefully.
 Mrs. E. Morgan, Mrs. Raulston and Miss Edna Smith were the artists who arrang cd the farewell tea for Miss Robertson, the artists and their friends assembling in Mrs. Morgan's beautiful studio on the top floor of the Watts building.

erary skill in the sparkling dialogues which sustain and adorn the narrative. While we take our hats off to such quail tiles as these, we also remove our gloves when we handle his grammar and his darkey dialect! Imagine the scholarly master of "Glennerhassett" saying: '"rhe punishment for stealing candles ought to be light hadn't it. Captan?" The compound pronoun "myself'' is ire quently used alone as the subject of a verb while adverbs adjectives and pre- positions become hopelessly mixed in their relations. Among other inelegant expressions we note: "The balance of the company and takes no stock in him." We might forgive these imperfections, but when Northern writer tries to ere ate an old plantation darkey-then Uncle Remus turns in his grave and Mrs. Gielow faints on the stage! Poor old Ransome! What does he not suffer at the hands of our author. who puts into his mouth the most remarkable tPid- gin English that ever darkey had to repeati It is a wonder that he lives through it all. As early as the third chapter we found Mir. Pidgin out when he tells us that "a very handsome color ed girl was sitting on the veranda." Very handsome colored girls" are not to be found down South, MT. Pidgin; just good looking darkies'' or something of that kind.
 The whole social atmosphere of the story, or rather the lack of it, is open to criticism. There is a strained ele- gance which berrays itself where in- born culture is expected; and a suited effort apparent to>the most casual read CT. Spontaneity and ease are also want ing. This is due perhaps to the authors earnest and long continued studies among the records of the past, and his painstaking efforts to arrive at the truth of the historical matter.
 As a painter of women portraits Mir. Pidgin does himself little credit. We hardly recognize the brilliant Theodosia of real fame in the weak and hysterical young woman who accepts the hispital- ity of the Blennerhassetts-and goes off into "spehs at slight provocation. Aaron Burrs daughter stands out in the annals of history as a rare example of flial love and devotion. In a complete history of the Burr family published in 1891, we find this account of her life:

tion of his own writings and those of others.'
 Let us now turn to our Alabama his- torian:
 We have already seen that the Fed eral Government and the people of the Southwest desire an expulsion of the Spaniards from the Baton Rouge district which was a part of the purchase from Napoleon when he sold us Louisiana; and hereafter 1t will be seen that these Span- iards were driven from the Baton Rouge district only three years after Burr's trial, when the Governor of it. Col Grandpre, was killed.
 Tn the citizens of the Southwest, who accomplished this end, it was not held to be treason-but Burr, for merely con- templating it. was tried for that crime It was not considered treason when Pres ident Jackson allowed hundreds of peo- pie of the Southwest to be shipped from Mobile to New Orleans with arms in their hands, who personally landed upon the coast of Texas and took that country from the Spaniards-but, for similar de- signs, Burr was hunted down, thrown into prison and tried for treason
 An impartial reader must not arrive at the conclusion that the faults of Burr, in political and public capacity, were not such as ought really to have placed that odium upon him which still attaches to his name
 One of the great secrets of his mis- fortune lay in the prejudices and malev- olence of politicians and fanatics Some body heard General Washington say that Burr was a dangerous man;' thereupon the world set him down as a dangerous man He killed Hamilton in a duel be- cause Hamilton abused him; thereupon the world said he was a murderer He was formidable rival of Jefferson in the contest for the Presidency; there upon the majority of the Republican party said he was a political scoundrel. He had always opposed the Federal party; for that reason the Federal party hated him with exceeding bitterness. A laundering, extravagant man named Herman Blennerhassett sought Burr. while he was in the West eagerly en- listed his schemes, and invited him to his house; thereupon William Vert said in his prosecuting speech that Burr was the serpent who entered the Garden of Eden
 -- We do not wish to be considered the defender of Aaron Burr; we do not ad- mire his character or that of many of his contemporaries who assailed him. But. as a historian. we are expected to write the truth, even if that truth is unpala- table to the prejudices of the age.'
 Next. let us see what the Roycrofter says:
 'If I should attempt to describe the man Aaron Burr and lil<en him to an- other. that man would be AleEander Hamilton. They were the same age within ten months; they were the same height within one inch; their weight was the same within five pounds. and in tempera- ment and disposition they resembled each other as brothers seldom do.

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS
 AT BOYS FARM HOME.

The preliminary preparations for the Christmas celebration at the Boys In- dustrial Farm will be made tomorrow morning when a meeting will be held at 10 o'clock at the residence of Miss Kate Rogan, and donations received for the Christmas celebration.
 , Those who are determined that the boys at Alabama's Industrial Schol shall have a Christmas day celebration are anxious to arrange a tree and a dinner and to make the occasion one of great happiness to each little lad at the farm - 1t Is urged upon all who desire to re- member these boys to bring or send do- nation in'money to the meeting tomorrow morning. It Is hoped that sufficient amount will be raised in this way to buy a small present for each boy. Those who prefer to contribute to the dinner may do so at this meeting, but all donations in money will be used in making happier the little lads at the farm.

MRS. ROBT. CUNNINGHAM
 ON "BLENNERHARSSETT"

In the Christmas number of the Book worm Mrs. Robert Cunningham of Boston gives the most comprehensive and brilliant review of "Blennerhassett," by Charles Felton Pidgin, that has yet appeared. She writes:
 "Blennerhassett,' by Charles Felton Pidgin, is a book that Is being widely read and freely discussed. - Criticisms adverse and otherwise are appearing in newspapers and reviews all over the country. This is not surprising as the author seeks to reverse all the popular traditions with regard to Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, and to over throw the accepted preiudices of half century concerning them. Perhaps the vital interest generated by the story itself has blinded many of it's critics to the authors language and style.
 It is a fact to be lamented that MT. Pidgin has chosen semifiction as a ve- hicle for his plead. The new is fast rub ping off from the historical novel. It will not be long before surfeited public will protest. Butit1is too late to give advice; moreover Mir. Pidgin is receiving so many letters animadverting upon his treat ment of Hamilton and Jefferson, that he is forced to reply seriously. rIn these replies we see him at his best and wish for that reason that "Blennerhassett" was an out-and-out history of Aaron Burr. But what paradox have we here ? Simply that the name "Blennerhassett" is inadequate and inappropriate as title.
 The novel is divided into three parts, the prologue, the book and the epilogue. It is very interesting, and at times, even thrilling; but it often drags and halts. go that the reader skips, like a school girl, "the parts that have no talking and ends by wishing the eplogue had been embodied in the book, so that it would not have to be read in order to solve the mystery of that famous doc ument.
 MT. Pidgins ability as writer is es- pecially manifested in scenes of vivid coloring and artistic conception. He is unerring in his analysis of motives and rises sometimes to high degree of lit-
