Knows Many Public Men.

Probably no woman in the country has met as many public men as Miss Caledo- mia Mccall of the Sixth Auditors office at Washington. She is a native of Florida and early in life became an interested student of the various political changes in that State, and by numerous contriou- tions to the press soon won the notice of the statesmen of the land of flowers. ," Coming to Washington, she accepted position in the pension office. Resign Ing in 1S96 she was given place or great responsibility with the Republican National Campaign Committee at Chica- go, where by her ability she managed many matters usually devolving upon trained politicians. Upon one occasion Miss Mccall having temporarily severed her connection with the government ser vice and experiencing some delay In securing a reinstatement. the Florida Legislature, then in session. passed a joint resolution requesting Secretary Hoke Smith to place her name upon the rolls This is probably the only case of the Kind on record. and speaks highly of the esteem with which Miss Mccall was held by the legislators Of her native State.

 Among the new members admitted 10 the conference was Professor George U.

THE NOMINEE
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
 DECLARES RESULT.
Second District Congressman With out Opposition Rolled Remark ably Large Vote-Ray Rush ton Chairman, L Strauss
 Secretary.

The Executive Committee of the Second Congressional Committee, met in Mont gomery yesterday. declared Colonel A. A. Wiley of Montgomery the Democratic nominee, reelected Ray Rushton of Mont gomery, Chairman and adjourned.
 As Colonel Wiley was without opposi- ton the work of the Committee was cut out for 1t. The Committee session was brief. As many of the returns from the primary held Monday in the nine coun- ties composing the district as had been received were canvassed and the result was declared.
 Full returns from all the counties in the District were not in. In view of the fact that Colonel Wiley had no opposi- ton his vote in several counties was re- markable. From reports received. he seems to have boiled practically the full voting strength of both the Jelks and Johnston factions. The people testified their appreciation of the services ren- dered by Colonel Wiley to the State and District during his first half term in Congress.
 The returns show that members of the Congressional Executive Committee elect ed at Mondays primary are as follows:
 B. F. Feist, Tensaw, Baldwin County.
 J. Lee Long, Greenville, Butler County.
 J. T. Bradshaw, Andalusia. Covington County.
 c. P. Deming. Evergreen Conecuh County.
 J. o. SentelI, Luverne, Crenshaw Coun- ty.
 G. w. L. Smith, Brewton, Escambia County.
 G. W. Jones. Montgomery. Montgomery County.
 o. c. Wiley, Troy, Pike County.
 J. Paul Jones. Jr., Camden. Wilcox County.
 Ray Rushton was reelected Chairman of the Committee and Leopold Strauss was elected Secretary.
 After the Committee had discharged the duty for which it was assembled sump- tuous dinner was served at Flemings which was much enjoyed.

 It was mid-morning. The veranda was lined with habitues doing the usual fancy work. No one stopped talking or em- broidering, but keen eyes scrutinized the newcomers, who vanished after @ slight delay. Then tongues wagged briskly, passing shallow. self-satisfied judgment. By and by some one settled who the ar- rivals were upon examining the hotel register.
 That's the way we have been looked over, I dare say, nearly everywhere we arrived" commented the more active minded woman. Do you remember where Emerson says that people cannot afford to live together on their merits. and they adjust themselves by their de- merits-by their love of gossip or sheer tolerance and good naturef"
 But passing gossip doesn't do any harm" interposed the other woman; "even a great scandal Is hardly more than nine days wonder. And just think what a rest it is to many of these wo- men to lead an inactive life. They are better off for the change. be 1t from home or whatever kind of busy life. I don't blame them for sitting still all day. I enjoy it myself. sometimes-that sense
 
 There's no place like a hotel or an inn like this for a sense of freedom, even If one is talked about transiently."
 Do you notice how the name inn is coming more and more generally into Ese?" said the observant woman, as the conversation drifted. "The very name suggests comfort and sheltered ease. Tavern on the other hand, has too much flavor of Shakespearian day revels to sound wholly attractive.'
 Then the two women reminisced-how earlier in the summer they had stopped at famous inn. not many miles from Boston, which publishes on its menu a list of rhymes about inns, the best of which they had copied. From Henley on- the-Thames one had been quoted which ran: Whoe'er hath travelled lifes dull round
 Whercer his stages may have been, May sigh to think he still has found
 His warmest welcome at an inn.
 Another, from Northumberland. in It's ways pointing a moral, bids the traveller Here stop and spend social hour
 In harmless mirth and fun
 Let friendship reign, be just and kind,
 And evil speak of none.
 "You know Boswell makes his hero, Dr. Johnson, say that there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn," the observant wo- man continued, "and that goes to estab- fish your point of there being no placM like hotel or an inn for comfort. But must confess cannot indorse that old English Archbishop Leightons much quoted remark, that If he were to choose a place to die in, it should be an inn."
 Which is certainly very curious ob- servation for any one to make who never had a home of his own." replied the other woman, warmly as her thoughts travelled on to the comfortable abode or Morningside Heights where they two would soon be installed again, the sum- mer wandering over.

 Tn every possible strain the ways of the summer girl are sung year by year. Much less attention is paid to the sum mer woman. but Is she not as definite type?" asked a matron.
 More definite. because her orbit is more circumscribed. replied the woman addressed. The two were spending their summer wandering from Long Island to the eastern part of Maine, and Campo bello beyond, stopping at many hotels good or indifferent, and were now. home ward bound, at small, rather exclusive hotel at Rockland Breakwater. Women, they noted, were everywhere more num- erous than men, or even summer girls

MAsToDoN TOOTH
Found at Smith Mines in Jefferson
 County.

County. Birmingham Ledger.
 Yesterday. while uncovering the iron ore vein at Smith Mines, ten miles below the city, great tooth was discovered. It was in the earth eight feet below the surface and immediately above the ore. The tooth is petrifed and iron ore has taken the place of the enamel and sand has replaced the bony substance of the roots. The tooth Is so perfect that it re- qures no expert to tell what 1t is.
 It is an enormous thing seven and a half inches long by three inches broad. It is known that well preserved teeth of mastodons have been found in Clarke County as large as this, and the origin is no doubt the same. The find is a re- markable one.
 MT. F. T. Pitts saw the tooth taken from the earth. but it needs no witness of it's genuineness.
