 PRAISED FOR HISLETTER

stand on one s.de or the other would have materially interfered with his tuc- cess AS a hustler" But even then he had settled eenviotiehs on the third term question, although. of course, he had no idea that the question of permitting his name to be presented as a candidate for a third term would ever presen. itself to him. It is interesting to know that fifth of century ago he stood as he does now.
 Hardly had the Presidents brief but ef- fective statement of one hundred and fifty words been given out than he began to ''hear from the country" Since then tele- grams and letters have been pouring in commenting him for his stand This is naturally gratifying.
 It required a calm and level head, no matter what might have been the prev ious convictions to resist the temptation to dwell upon the possibility that one might break such a precedent And tho placing aside of all personal ambition and strengthen O settled conviction was an evidence of the highest patriotism. The realization of the fact that even the suspicion of the thought of q third term'' would interfere with the settlement of present problems. pre5udicing the admin- istration's attitude in the public mind, showed n keen knowledge of human na- ture, as well as of the American pub lie.
 That MT. Mckinley would have had a better chance to be fenominated than General Grant is very probable, for he Is now the most popular man in the coun- try. and has the prestige and power of his office. while Grant was then simply a private citizen, no matter how highly his military services were regarded. Whether Mir. Mckinley would have been reelected Is q question of grave doubt. My own opinion Is that no man can be elected for third presidential term. But these points did not influence MT McKinley's announcement. He had never permitted himself to consider the possibility of third term, yet as a keen politician, who can sense public opinion far better than most men, he carefully knew how diff cult the road to third term would have been. The only question ever in doubt was whether the gossip as. to third term should be noticed. The decision to make O frank and unqualified an- nouncement of his position was reached because, and only because, of the fear that the gossip might prejudice and in- terfere with the solution of the problems arising out of the war with Spain. These MT Mckinley wishes to have settled and properly settled, before the end of his administration, knowing that his repu- tation as a statesman will rest largely on that settlement.
 Ills rank in history will be higher be- cause of l1ls refusal to be a candidate for third term, nipping the movement for that in its inception. His reputation will be greater than had he been a third time elected.

If there is one we do not find mention of 1t in the digest of public school laws pub llshed by the bureau of education at Washington. This digest should be in the hands of every member of the constitutional convention, that they may know that when they vote against local taxation for school purposes they are putting Alabama in a class by itself at the very foot of the ladder labelled Ignorance Wanted"

Judae oreene,a Umbrella.

| The Hon. Samuel D. Greene, the dis | tinguished judge of the Jefferson County | Criminal Court, who has, during his long and successful career on the bench, pre-
 sided over the trials of thousands of per-
 sons accused of crime, was yesterday the
 victim of heartless thief
 The day was rainy. as everybody in
 Birmingham knows, and when Judge Greene came into the city from his su- burban home he brought with him his costly silk umbrella. a recent purchase of which he was rather proud in his mod est and unassuming way.
 | Judge Greene found it necessary to go to the post office, as he had business with the registered letter clerk. Approaching
 the clerks window, the judge placed his umbrella against the partition and pro-
 ceeded with his business. He was so en-
 gagged about one minute and thirty sec
 onds. and then turned to secure his um-
 brella for protection against the rain,
 which was at the moment falling some
 what heavily.
 The prized umbrella had disappeared! From under the very eyes of the just
 and distinguished judge of the Criminal
 Court an unknown thief had boldly stolen
 the judicial umbrella!
 q would not like to send that rascal to
 the penitentiary, but l do wish there was
 a whipping-post and I had chance to
 sentence him. said the judge, ruefuIly. l And the judge of the Jefferson County
 Criminal Court passed out into the cold l cold world of rain.

were turned of and q calcium light
from the end of the hall opposite the
wheel threw broad path Of changing
colors down the center OF the room
through which the dancers fitted like
notes in the sunshine. The old but
pretty driving figure was used. the gay
ribbons and bells making merry scene
for little while. Then there was the

danced, lighted Chinese lanterns on the

NEW IDEAS IN LINGERIE.

Some clever woman with capital and
energy ought to start a laundry for ex-
pensive lingerie. where it would be
treated with the tender care its beauty
and costliness deserve. The need for
such a place is less urgent than it used
to be in one way, for the modern laun-
dry does not merit the anathemas that
used justly to be hurled at its prede-
cessors. but still there is a want felt.
Every year strengthens the love women
feel for dainty lingerie, a love which
now is reaching height of devotion.
Silk underwear is what many women
like above all other kinds. It is held to
be more healthy than lawn. though less
so than wool But. unfortunately, it
does not launder well. and that must be
a consideration. Now, therefore. num-
bers are ordering cam brio robes de mutt,
or. rather, robes de boudoir, for, while
they will wear for the last chat before
the fire the daintiest and Ioyeliest
nightdresses underneath their saul de
lit, their actual sleeping garb is some
thing less diaphanous. OF a verify oc-
casions demand their correct toilet at
every turn.
The most exquisite pattern for the
robe de mutt to take is undoubtedly the
empire, and some of those now sold
might actually be gowns that were
worn at the beginning of the nineteenth
century, though then the bellies actual
" walked out in them and must have
looked truly nymphlike. The bodice
part is closely insertioned with vaIen-
ciennes lace, and there are fiounces of
lace at the foot beneath a broad band
of delicate tuclxs. A fiat v shaped col
lar, all insertioned and lace edged,
trims the throat of some, though 9TH
ers are more correctly finished with a
narrow tucker of lace. The sleeves
are a great feature. They reach only
to the elbows and are made simply Of
broad fiounces of valenciennes. with a
little lawn to give them a fictitious sub
stance. Such are called folly sleeves.
and truly fascinating they are, as folly
always is.
No one who is smart calls her dress
ing gown a dressing gown. The new
name is French and is saul de lit In
this lovely and enveloping wrap the
best models are made Ia Josephine or
a Fempire, to use a synonymous term,
and soft silk composes them, with in
lets of lace that suggest a high bodice
and, again, full, lovely folly sleeves.
But for the delicate and the cold a far
more suitable fabric to choose is zenana
cloth, since it is silky, exquisitely be-
coming, of the most ravishing coIors
and very coy. Then, too, less elegant.
but in their way beautiful, are the
dressing gown 1annels sold which, with
insertions of lace, make charming
wraps. Coarse lace is their preroga-
tive. and it aims at a bold and striking
effect.

lets which are worn by women of the
first fashion. I noticed one at the bene-
fit given at the Nouveau theater for the
Art association The garment looked
like a loose taffeta bolero with great,
flowing sleeves and a hood artistically
draped on the shoulders. Another was
in the form of a lace opera coat. The
material was beautiful rose point. and
the garment, although only three
quarter" length, was probably worth
princess ransom
I fear that we are again to face a
craze for polka dots They are so try
ing for many women that shudder
when I reflect that they may become
popular. All sizes and sorts of dots are
used as auxiliaries to plain fabrics.
Taffeta is still the favorite silk with
fashionable costumers, but / understand
that peau de sole, duchesse and louisine
are each making a strong bid for SUI
premacy- Foulards for summer wear
cannot be improved upon and are there
fore still worn, but the possession of
foulard gown is no longer so fmpera-
tive in a fashionable wardrobe as it was
a season or two ago. Short lace bo-
Ieros are applied to almost all sorts of
gowns and tucked effects in lace and
wash material seem to multiply
Louisine may be had in so many soft
and pretty shades that it is not sur
prising that it is favored as a corsage
trimming, not to mention it's application
to the making Of entire costumes.

Latest styles In Underwear.

As regards lingerie. the empire pat
tern in every possible form is beloved al
the moment. Pretty chemises and
nightgowns are made in this wise. the
best perhaps having little medallions Of
old lace or fine hand made embroidery
tied with fancy ribbons in shades Of
blue, pink and mauve. Pretty, too. are
pink chemises with the tops made en-
tirely of lace
Then there are empire nightgowns in
silk gauze. batiste or French lawn In
white and pale co1ors, with large falling
collars of tucks and lace.
The peignoir of white muslin, cream
silk or cashmere is at its best. too. cut
after the empire style Pretty, also. are
those arranged with rows of tuckings or
gaugings round the waist, finished with
a large pink bow, the ends of which
reach to the ground
