HOWARD WEEDON.
 HER MAGNETIC PERSONALITY

A delightful privilege enjoyed by the guests who attended the reception at the beautiful home of Hon. and Mrs. E. C.. Payne in Decatur on last Friday was that of meeting one of the most noted women of the day. Miss Howard Wee don of Huntsville, woman whom Ala bama is proud to claim as her own.
 Miss Howard was the guest of her niece Mrs Murray. daughter of her sister, Mrs Read, who lives in Decatur. She had come to attend this reception and was an honored guest at it.
 I was particularly anxious to have just A little tete-a-tete talk with he author and artist of t'Shadows on the Wall" and "Bandanna Ballads" but as all were so eager to meet her I had to bide my time The opportunity came late in the evening and I seated myself alone with her. in comfort among mass Of sofa cushions. l was determined to lose none of the short time l might hold my post in making talk" or fin exchanging con ventionalities.

 At Hampton Roads we saw the Rear sarge. the Olympia. the Alabama and a much like our own battleships.

 Here we listened to an excellent sermon by the Rev J. J. Taylor, D. D. pastor, whose subject was 'Brotherhood of Man and also to some especially fine music by the choir.

 We hope to have one of our grand off, hcers elected from the South and very confidentially expect to have that officer in our own Montgomery Division.
 There have been many compliments paid the work done by our Assistant Vice President. Mrs. Spruell of Montgomery, and we feel that we are in every way deserving of such an officer among us.
 We have met and mingeld with and made friends with many people and though we know we can not but feel sad at parting with those whom we have so lately clasped hands in warmest greet ing and with whom we have enjoyed so many pleasant excursions and some of whom we know we shall never meet in this world again. still, there will be the keenest delight in knowing that we shall soon, in Gods Providence. be with our dear ones and in old Montgomery again.

 When asked if her new work was on

Thanks were expressed by the Association for her deep interest in the work Some of the books promised to the Va rina Jefferson Davis Library were re- ceived. It will be remembered that Mrs. Chappell Cory, at the previous meeting 1 spoke very touchingly of the White House | widow of our dead chieftain. She said that Jefferson Davis's memory would be perpetuated in marble and bronze. the beloved Winnie's in marble. and the more helpful monuments of schools for Con. federate orphans-but this widow and all and lost all. who had fought the bravest battle eyer fought, had not yet been honored as she deserved: she was nearing the end, and when 1t came the world would remember. and all her great ness and virtues would be chiseled in marble but now while she lived was the time to remember and she moved that the library of the First White House of Jefferson Davis Library" This was adop. tod with great enthusiasm. the ladies feel ing 1t but a feeble expression of the honor which should be shown this great and good widow of the Confederacy.

The demand for anthracite coal con-
tinues active and comes from a wide
stretch of territory. A heavy tonnage
that early buyers thought to get at
April figures was larger than the pro-
ducing companies could supply. The
advance of 10c per ton on May 1 has lit
tie effect, for every dealer realizes that
there are other advances to come later
and early buying means SO much clear
profit next winter. Dealers at eastern
and western points are after coal. and
though the demand has been heaviest
from the east, yet dealers in the west,
particularly in Chicago territory, have
ordered much more promptly than last
year. Production at the mines is ac-
tive. those colleries that suffered from
floods are getting their output upto
normal figures and with better car sup
ply the shipments would be much
heavier The output for April was
large and probably exceeded that Of
April. 1901.
Trade at the head of the lakes is not
active. Little anthracite is arriving as
vet ot the Duluth and Superior docks.
In Chicago territory, business has been
brisk and the amount of coal ordered
much greater than a year ago. Arri-
walls have been fairly good, considering
the demands of points farther east
while the amount of coal going to out
lying territory is large. Arrivals by
lake will improve somewhat. but are
dependent on supplies at the lower lake
shipping ports, and these again are
largely determined by the car supply.
Trade along the lower lakes and in
Canadian territory is fairly active.
Canadian trade will improve with the
opening OF canal navigation. Along
the Atlantic seaboard demand con-
tinucs brisk. A shortage of vessels is
interfering with coastwise shipments
somewhat. particularly to points be-
yond Cape Cod. There is a good de-
mGnd for the steam sizes yet and the
market generally is as firm as rock.

Nav Re Settled.

There is a strong possibility that the
long -Cirawn-out strike of the union
stone cutters employed at the Car
lucci stone yards will be settled to-
night.
The union men employed at the yards
went on strike on January 1, 1901, be-
cause of the alleged failure of the
stone company to live up to the terms
OF an agreement inferred into with the
men.
The new men employed by the COM
paTy to fill the strikers places formed
a separate union of their own, which
has never been recognized by the other
union, which is a branch of the Inter-
national Stone Cutters association.
The company now agrees to grant its
men an eight hour day and to pay
them a minimum wage of SO day. 1t
is now proposed to take the union of
the Carlucci employees into the original
union as body. The members of the
latter union will meet tonight to de-
eide whether this shall be done.
