Plans for Floral Parade.

Elaborate plans for the floral parade were definitely decided upon at meet ing of a number of Birmingham women yesterday morning at the residence of Mrs. John w. Tomlinson.
 The execution of these plans will result inIa notably beautiful parade and a number of the most brilliant social events of the season.
 At this meeting, which was attended by several of Birminghams most prominent women, there was the greatest enthus- ism in regard to the parade, and every woman present pledged herself to do all in her power to make the occasion great success.
 Not only were the general plans de- cided upon, but the floral queen and her maids of honor were selected.
 Miss Ada Bowron was chosen queen and and a bevy of Birmingham most beauti- full young women were selected to be maids of honor They are Miss Florida Graves, Miss Helen smith, Miss Ethel Sharpe, Alss Annie Smith. Miss Roy Head, Miss Daisy Moody, Miss Lillian Ro- den Miss Terry Nabb.
 These young women, together with the charming queen, who Is recognized as one of the handsomest and most queenly young women in the South will at once interest all society in the approaching parade, and from now until the afternoon of the event one will hear little else dis cussed.
 Then too the prominence of the young fal ,,1r to oIro the parade a success have given it new life and there is no longer any doubt as to it's being a brilliant success.
 Among the attending gaieties will be reception at the Southern Club imme- diately after the parade. at which Miss Bowron and her maids will be the guests of honor. The reception will be beau tiful event.
 The floral ball will take place in the pavilion at Lakeview which will be ela- borately decorated for the occasion. AL together the plans for the parade are elaborate.
 A list of those who will enter traps will be published in few days. A num- Der of Birmingham women have already decided to take part in the parade and have sent their names to the committee.
 Al the meeting yesterday a committee of ladies was appointed to cooperate with the committee of gentlemen. MT. Carpenter of this committee was present at the meeting and the committe of la dies includes Mrs. John w Tomlnson, Mrs. Richard F. Johnston, Mrs. E. M. Tutwiler Mrs. Walker. Percy, Mrs. H. l.. Badham, Mrs. William H. Kettig. Mrs. John Warren.
 The members of this committee have undertaken to see personally the owners of traps, and as they cannot possibly hope to see every person who Is inter- ested in the parade, they will be glad to hear from anyone who is willing to enter the parade. .
 The social departments of the newspa- pers will also receive lists of those per- sons who will decorate their traps CT lend them to be decorated by others.
 The carriage for the queen will be dec- orated by the Elks, and the maids of honor will occupy a fiower-bedecked coach. With such a wealth of loveliness it will be difficult to distinguish the floral beauties.

Chicago, April 5.-After travelling through England, America and Europe for twenty-five years the famous Gains borough portrait of the Duchess of Dew onshire. which was stolen from the art gallery of the Agnew Brothers in Lon don, Eng, May 1s. 1876, is reported to have been returned to It's owners.

Yoakum Denies the Report.

St. Louis, April 5.-President and Gen eral Manager B. F. Yoakum, of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad, when asked concerning the report from Okla homa City that bonus was being asked by the promoters of the Oklahoma City and Southwestern Railroad for the pur- pose of making an extension of the San Francisco road said there was abso- lutely no truth in the report so far as 1t relates to his road. The Oklahoma City and Southwestern Is an old charter grant ed several years ago and Mir Yoakum says he understands that some outside parties are considering the consolidation of line under that charter but any re- ports that the San Francisco has any connection with it or any bonus being raised on that supposition are errone- OuS.

Chas c. Whitney has been at the head of the Bureau of Public Printing State of Minnesota, for many years. He is also Secretary of the Republican State Gen. tral Committee
 His duties in these two capacities are at times so exacting that he finds him. self worn out and in a low nervous oon- dition. At all such times he confidently turns to Paine's celery compound and has never been disappointed.
 He says of this wonderful remedy:
 ''St. Paul, Feb. Is, 1901s Dear Sirs-I have been familiar with the merits of Paines celery compound for a number of years, and have used it when seriously run down from over work, both mentally and physically But its good qualities never appealed to me so forcibly as during the last campaign The hard work devolving upon me, as Secretary of the State Central Commit tee, affected my nerves greatly and made 1t difficult for me to sleep. Paine's celery compound immediately restored the tone to my nervous system and enabled me to secure refreshing sleep.
 "It benefited me at once, and I do not hesitate to recommend 1t to my friends who find themselves in the same nervous condition.
 ''very truly yours
 ''Chas. c. Whitney" Paine's celery compound marks tre- mendous stride in the cure of disease. No other remedy has ever succeeded in driv- ing out the underlying causes of nervous and organic trouble so surely and rap- idly. No remedy represents so comprehen- sive a knowledge of nervous exhaustion and the best means for its alleviation. It cures where other remedies-because they are either silly nostrums or we'll

MINERS CONVENTION ADJouRNs
Has Issued a Call For Meeting On
November ~.

Huntington, w. Va, Nov. 2.-The
state miners convention adjourned
last night, after deciding to hold an
other convention in this city Novem-
Der 26. There was also call issued
for a meeting here on November 81,
to which the operators of Virginia
and West Virginia will be invited. The
convention of two days resulted in
nothing more than this.
1t is the object OF the United Mine
Workers officials to have the state
miners request the mine operators to
confer with them. Owing to the fact
that the officers of the United Mine
Workers will be busy from now until
the time of the national convention
in June. it is thought very little work
will be accomplished in West Vir-
ginia towards increasing the member
ship In the organization and establish
ing new unions. Prominent state and
national officers of the order admit
that they do not expect the operators
to attend. II they decline 1t is ex-
pected that general movement will
begin towards organizing the miners
of the entire state. II they fail in
this a sympathetic strike will be or
dered
