Delegation of Birmingham
 Women Leave for MOntgomerY

The Birmingham delegation appointed from the Woman's Club and the Women's Christian Temperance Union will leave the city this morning for Montgomery where they will meet the joint committee from the House and Senate and discuss the meas ures affecting child labor.
 Tomorrow Mrs. Robert Cunningham as chairman of the committee from the Wom- mans Club will address the Legislature and it is needless to say that her plea will be one of the most eloquent ever made before Alabamas General Assembly.
 The delegation will return to Birmingham tomorrow night. It is composed of many oi Birminghams most prominent and in- fluential women, and every woman has at her heart the interest and welfare of the children of the State and will bring to bear the strongest arguments in favor Of the measures so ably championed by represen- tative men and women throughout the land.
 Mrs. Cunningham In speaking yesterday of the strong and stirring articles that ap- peared in these columns Sunday, notably from the pens of Mrs. James Jackson or Tuscumbia, Mrs. Zac. T. Smith and Mrs. c. B. Spencer of Birmingham, referred to the statement made In the report of the  meeting of the Woman's Club on Saturday in regard to her visiting the Avondale mills.
 Mrs. Cunningham desires that emphasis be placed upon the fact that no one tex tile manufactory in the State Is arousing the interest of Alabama women, but the numerous mills and factories throughout Alabama, where little children are employ ed, present conditions that have created public sentiment against the abuses of child labor.
 The Birmingham Woman's Club in it's in- vestigations does not call attention to the conditions of any one mill or factory, but sums up the conditions that exist all over the State, and urges the Legislature to en- act laws that will protect the little ones of the State, that is future citizens may be trained to citizenship and skilled labor by first being taught to read and write"

Hermann the Great will apear at the Jefferson theater next Friday, matinee and night. Not less than his predecessor of the same name, whom he strongly resembles in looks and mannerisms, is the present Hermann, an accomplished magician. In some respects, indeed,( he surpasses the first of the line of prestidisitators whose feats of magic earned for him the name of Wizard" and whom the public crowned with the title of "The Great" A title that has been hard earned and earnestly covet- ed by his successors. For his present en- gagetnent in this city Mir.

Practical Suggestions for the
 Woman Who Lives on Her Farm

After an interval of year from my first visit to young couple on planta- tion in Monroe County, I made a second journey to their home" writes an Alabama woman to this department. Much of en- joyment was mine while there; but, the greatest pleasure of all came from the im- proved aspect of almost every detail of the new farm life Better fences, improved negro cabins repaired barnes and stables, a vastly better behaved set of negro labor CTS (some individuals brought to IT ore sense and better manners), and some of the prsttiest stock that ever gave milk or meat to man.
 Agricultural bulletins from Washington lay on the farmers desk, and agricultural journals, the most interesting of which was The Breeders Gazette I did not marvel, after turning the pages of this Gazette, that Its subscriber had magnificent Aber deen-Tngus Bull, beautiful Devon dsifer, and registered Berkshire hogs, pretty as pictures and as far ahead of the razor- backs around him as New York fashion plate 1t beyond a photograph of a dowdy, uncaring member of the poor white trash of any community. Indeed, there is noth- ing like keeping highest standards before us dn every profession, trade and business The stock farmer who reads weekly this Gazette from Chicago will become satur- ated with convictions on measures vital to success, and will turn with fine discontent from badly titled fields poorly selected and poorly kept stock
 "A recent number has delightful contri- buttons from England, Scotland and our own country One article is from Exmoor near the Red Devon. where John Ridd of Lorna Doone found Paradise in farm life when Lorna shared his labors Robert Bruce of the old country writes charm ingly and with many a stimulating sugges- ton of Some Catle Breeders I Have Kpown"; another writer tells of the splen- did French Percheron horse; another gives an illustrated journey to the Shetland Isles; another tells the interesting tale of the Hereford stock of England; and Ernest Leton-Thomson has in his own inimitable style a vivid delineation of Mother Love in the Cows of the Western Range Some of the colored illustrations would be orna- ments in any farmers Mbrary, and would on some Alabama country homes be per- haps successful rebuke to the stock we keep and to the provisions We maks for them
 "A recent number also had an article on Stock Raising in the Green Hills of Vir- ginia,' demonstrating the profits realized there.
 T wish this Breeders Gazette of Chicago were sent to every public library in Ala bama, for it would help to shape and in- crease the much needed current towards rural life.

Because She Loved Him So.

William Gillette's adaptation, Because She Loved Him So,'' will have it's second presentation in this city at the Jefferson Theatre next Saturday, matinee and night. In general tone the play as arranged for English speaking audiences by Mr Gillette keeps pretty close to the lines of pure come dy. Manifssty, this is largely due to MT qillstte's arrangement Now and then the faintest suggestion of Gallo humor is dls. coverable, and it Is always of the kind familiar to French farce. But it adds some- thing to the gayety of the moment, and there Is nothing to offend the most deli, cate sensibilities. The fun becomes fast and itresistible' toward the end of the play, The entire company of last season has been retained. When the play appeared here last season it scored a pronounced sue- cess.

This is the play that was originally pro- dueed al the Odeon Theatre, Paris, later at the Criterion Theatre. London, and last season at the Lyceum Theatre New York, where it ran for 15O nights.
 Its theme is the surely appealing one of matron who deems her sons wife not good enough for her or him. The women live in separate flats but under the same roof and the complicat tions of interference and resistance make up the comic actions with light touches of sentiment
