MAY BUILD COTTAGE OFFER OF T. J. SCOTT FAMILY
 TO WoMAN'S HOME. This Worthy. Institution Appro- priately Reorganization Indi- gent Widows and Orphans.
 In Need of Funds.

At the meeting of the Board of Dire: > tors of the Woman Home yesterday af- ternoon, T most agreeable surprise was sprung upon the meeting when a conn municatiQp was read from T. J. Scott x Sons. To the hard-worked and self -sac- riticing ladies of this worthy institution, It was like an answer to a long and fer vent prayer. since 1t afforded them a realization of a long-cherished dream. In the late T. J. Scott, to build for the Woman's Home. an eight-room cottage. upon the property of the Home. for the special acc tommodation of widows and orphans. e
 This mupifccnt proposal of the Scott family carries with 1t only one stipula- ton and that is. that the cottage donat. ed shall be used exclusively for the care and comfort of indigent widows and children. With tEis stipulation accepted. they are ready. at any moment to com mence the construction of the cottage.
 It Is understood that the management of the Woman s Home. despite this most worthy effort tN assist them. are really embarrassed to such an extent, that they may feel constrained to refuse the gift. It Is well known that they have been very much pressed for funds, to keep up the work they have already in hand. To accept this donation would entail addi- tional financial responsibilities, and un- less some additional aid Is accorded them 1t might be impossible for them to ac- cept what is so generously offered. This would he misfortune. as the worthy ef- forts of this philanthropic organization have already accomplished immeasurable good in this community and it would seem that the general public would rally to their relief in such an emergency.

OYSTER COCKTAIL BARRED.
The Waiter Would Not Serve It Be- cause He Said the Town Was
 Temperance.

New York Times.
 Not long since the May Irwin Company chanced to be playing for one night in a New England city which is known to be a very strict no-license town. After the performance that night Roland Carter. one of the members of the company, as was his custom, strolled into restau- rant.
 A dusky waiter approached him and in- quired as to what he would like to have to eat MT. Carter thought a few mos ments and said.
 T think you may bring me an oyster
 The waiter hesitated.
 'Ah'm very sorry, Sah, but Tse 'fraid we can't serve you. There's no drinkin' lowed in dis we're town"
 But" said Carter. 'an oyster cocktail Is not made of liquor."
 Dat may be, sah," said the waiter "but I know de boss would never low me to take such an order as that"
 Well, you call the proprietor here." in- sisted Carter.
 The proprietor was summoned, and the actor stated his desires to him. But that individual was just as much at sea in regard to an oyster cocktail as was the colored individual and said that being a bidding individual he could not serve anything in the way of drinks to his customers.
 Carter offered to make the oyster cock tail himself if they would only bring him the ingredients. but the proprietor was obdurate and insisted that nothing bear ing the name ''cocktaiF' could be had in his establishment. and the Thespian was obliged to have his oysters served on the half shell

DIRECTOR OWEN IS COLLECT
 ING DATA.
He Goes to Washington for Purpose of Arranging with War Depart ment to Secure Copies
 of All Records.

Hon. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the State Department of Archives and His tory. will leave at $50 o'clock this rnorp- ing by way of Birmingham for Washing ton, D. c. The visit of Mir. Owen to the National Capital is for the purpose of arranging with the War Department to secure copies of all records and docu- ments on file there in reference to Ala bama soldiers in the war between the States.
 The actt creating the Department of Archives and History charges the Depart ment with the duty of making special effort to collect data in reference to sol diers from Alabama in the war between the States. both from the War Depart- ment at Washington. and also from private individuals and to cause tho same to be prepared for publication as speedily as possible"
 In recent circular letter bearing upon this feature of his work Director Owen said:
 Next to the current business of the Department, the compilation. for pubii- cation. of the records of Alabama troops is emphasized as of the very first import ance. To accomplish this task will not only take many months of painstaking labor, but the cooperation of all veterans and of their descendants must be had Incomplete records only exist in the of- fees of the Adjutant General of Alabama. and of the War Department at Wash ington. All persoHs, therefore, who have fin their possession muster or pay rolls, war diaries or journals. reports commits sions, discharges. paroles. or other war papers, are urged to forward them for use in this work. It Is absolutely neces- sary to it's accuracy and completeness. The hearty cooperation of all camps of Confederate Veterans. and camps of Sons of Confederate Veterans. and the several chapters of the United Daughters of the Confectionery is expected. All persons
 who can cooperate with the Department in the accomplishment of its very praise- worthy aims are requested to address the Director"
 Spctking yesterday of his mission to Washington. Director Owen said that there was great mass of records of Ala bama regiments in the Pension and Record Bureau of the War Department and through the influence of the Ala bama delegation in Congress he hoped
 to be able to secure copies of these records without tho necessity for in- troducing a bill in Congress to get them. Some of these records were taken by Federal troops from the Confederate archives in Richmond and others were secured by Wilson's raiders when they visited the Alabama capitol during the war.
 The Pension and Record Bureau of the War Department is from time to time securing additional data from individuals until 1t has a vast store of information bearing upon the records of Confederate soldiers.
 MT. Owen goes to Washington with let ters from Governor Jelks and other in-
 fuentia1 Alabamians and he has every reason to believe that his efforts will be crowned with success.

Pertinent QUESTION TO
THE AUGUST AUTHORITIES

II understand the eoard believes it has

Commissioner Haggerty was next to the
bat.
"Mr. Chairman, have you issued any
order TO that elfect?" said he to Mr..
Clark.
"rhere has been no such order given
from this Office" was the reply.
Once more the Herculean deputy county
attorney came 10 the rescue of the posi-
ton.
1T is not the boards business to bother
with these boxes" said he. "They are
assembled as a returning board and have
nothing to do with the ballots or boxes
wIhicl, are now in the next Office"
~ want to know the position of the
board in this matter" said Attorney
hremcr. "This is not question so much
for information as it is matter OF record.

in this matter and to find who authorized
these people to NEEDLE with the ballots"

HE REPRESENTS CERTAIN
INTERESTED CANDIDATES

Mr.. Herren stated that he was repre-
senting certain interested parties and he
was anxious to find out what the probable
action OF the board would be.
Attorney Mackel was about to reply
when Chairman Clark rung down the cur
tain and brought the act to a conclusion
in the following words. ~
II don't know whether you gentlemen
know it or not, but you are losing your
own valuable time continuing this discus
sion. | know you are losing the time Of
this board Why, the thing is as plain as
the nose on a cats face. We are In ses-
sion as canvassing board. We have
called on the county clerk to furnish us
with complete returns of this election SO
that we may proceed with the count. This
the county clerk has not done. Until he
furnishes us complete returns within the
seven days prescribed by law, we can take
no action, consequently as a canvassng
board this body stands adjourned.
There was no applause. Many of the
spectators thought they had not received
the price Of admission. They expected
more tragedy. There wa absolutely no
melodrama. The situation was at times
humorous but the curtain came down too
soon. They went away comforting them
selves with the knowledge that the per-
Torrance will resume at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning.
From most of the precincts in the city
and in the immediate vicinity the omis-
sions in the returns have been supplied
Numerous combinations of mistakes were
possible in making the returns. None have
been overlooked
Messengers have been dispatched to the
outside points for the judges but thi.

ceived from any of the following: Mel
