LADY FLORENCE DIXIE
 TO THE PRESIDENT.

The work of Mrs. Irene Ashby- Mac fadyen in behalf of children employed in the factories has been taken up since her departure for South Africa by another English woman. Lady Florence Dixie has written President Roosevelt letter urg- ing him to end the evil in America by
 using his influence against it. Lady Florence makes a strong appeal. She starts out as follows: You are a man and I am a woman.
 You are President of the vast republic which calls itself the land of the free and am but free lance wandering over my country, the earth, and seeing everywhere and on all sides barbarities tolerated and
 sanctioned by laws the creation of your sex"
 She scorns the title of Hand of the free"
 for America, and calls it Hand of greed and grab" which permits system of child slavery.
 Lady Florence Is the wife of Sir Beau
 mont Dixie and is said to be intensely
 fond of children and child life. The ef-
 feet of her appeal cannot be conjectured. Hers are words and not deeds as were | the efforts of Mrs. Ashby Macfadyen; but | if there is anything in a name. her work
 should be potent in behalf of children in | the South.

 CHAMBERS FOR LIFE.
Young Railroad Man of Montgom- cry Fell Under Moving Train in Selma-Amputa-
 tion Necessary.

As the result of an accident in Selma late Wednesday night. the left foot of Fred Chambers of Montgomery was crushed by the wheels of a passenger train and he will be a cripple throughout his life.
 MT. Chambers is a train fagman for the Western Railway of Alabama and his run is on the passenger train between Montgomery and Selma.
 Selma has city ordnance requiring the flagman of all trains to alight and flag the train at each street crossing Wednesday night rain was falling in Selma and the crossings were muddy. MT. Chambers had jumped from the night passenger train, which arrives in Selma about Il o'clock and had run across the street to flag the train. As he attempted to board the pilot of the engine which was wet, he slipped, falling with his left foot under the engine trucks. The foot was badly mangled and was subsequently amputated.
 He was taken to the Selma City Hos pital where the operation was success fully performed.
 Reports from Selma last night indicated that MT. Chambers was resting quietly and was on fair way to recovery.
 The young man is a brother-in-law of Captain w. H. Taylor of the Montgom- cry Police Department. Captain Taylor and Mrs. Taylor went to Selma yester- day to see MT. Chambers. After ascer- taining that he was receiving every at tention they returned to Montgomery yes terday evening.
 As soon as MT. Chambers is able to travel he will come to Montgomery.
 Mir. Chambers stands third in line of promotion to be a passenger conductor and has, several times acted in that capa- city. About four years ago he was a patrolman on the Montgomery police force.

THE BEAUTIFUL MRS. STUART

The reported engagement of Sir Thomas Lipton to Mrs. Ronald E. Stuart of New York arouses much interest in the per- sonality of the prospective bride.
 Mrs. Stuart is one of the most beauti- full and brilliant of the social leaders of New York. She is tall with perfect ng- ure, and has a Grecian type of feature, exquisite complexion, gray eyes and dark hair. It is said that the list of her tri- umphs in society is long one and that no great gathering is considered com plete unless she is present.
 At the memorable bazaar given at the Waldorf-Astoria for the benefit of Gal veston's homeless orphans, soon after the storm, Mrs. Stuart was a conspicuous leader. She had charge of the golf booth and no booth was more popular than hers. Indeed, though comparatively few knew the identity of the graceful woman who presided, they were attracted by her beauty and she answered questions of the passing throng as to price and quality. etc, with the gracious air of connois- seur in the art of keeping shop. At that time she was in mourning, and wore with her black dress little bonnet without a veil, tied with strings of sheer white linen. It was vastly becoming.
 When William K. Vanderbilt passed through Montgomery last winter on his way to Florida, Mrs. Stuart was in the party. His private car missed connection here and he engaged a special engine to carry them on to some point in Florida where his yacht was awaiting them. Ii was wondered at the time of that trip fl MT. Vanderbilt was among Mrs. Stuart's suitors. He may have been. In fact. he may still be, for her reported engagement to Sir Thomas Lipton has yet to be con- firmed
