Mans Right to Home.
The Hon. Galusha A. Grow, of this
county made his first speech in con-
gress more than fifty years ago on
Land for the Landless; or, Mans
Right to the Soil" The speech was
made in advocacy of Il homestead bill
introduced by himself 10 secure free
homes for free men," The homestead
bill was of incalculable benefit to the
west. 1t sent over 100000 farmers
from the older states and Europe to
build up new commonwealths. 1t put
millions of acres out of the hands of
the spectators. 1t gave us u new land
system which, with amendments that
have been adopted from time to time,
has given us an ever increasing army
of hOme-makers, upon whom rest "the
pillars of the republic" Mr.. Grow has
lived to see the realization Of his dream
of free homesteads for free men," Will
any of his associates in congress live to
see the full realization of his dream AS
to "the comfort of the home and the
happiness of the fireside of labor?"

Good News.

II will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a Pc
cuiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and 1t will
dispel all symptoms of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact, the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe TO take. For sale by all druggists.

 Up stairs, we visited the girls dormi- tory, furnished by the Creehe. These furnishings consist of single iron beds and small chair at the foot of each. An attendant is paid also by the Creche to take charge of, the children night and day. From there we went to the Means memorial room, where two invalid young girls are made comfortable. The Phil Finch room Is the dormitory for the boys. The Weakley memorial rooms, of which there are two, are kept to shelter the destitute mothers and babies who often make this place of refuge.
 The Pierce memorial rooms is occupied by an attendant for the older children. The sewing room was furnished by Mrs. Nabb, and In 1t the mending is done by the convalescents.

 They are the monuments to the noble promoters of the Mercy Home, and no heart should turn from an appeal for systematic help for this great cause from its board of control.

MARY MARBLE TALKS
 OF HER STAGE CAREER.

On our way to the Bijou we met Mir. Dunne, to whom expressed a desire to meet Mary Marble, his wife. He carried us behind the scenes when we reached the theater, where we found her in tho dressing room.
 T trust I don't look quite as ugly in my kimona as Chip does in his" was her greeting.
 We chatted so freely, and she so cheer fully, I. at once. felt as if l had met an old friend. Mary Marble comes naturally by her talent for the stage. Her great grandfather was with the first company of actors that came from England, and her grandfather played the first yankee comedy ever played in this country.
 Her favorite part of Lost, Strayed or Stolen" last week. is the song "ching-a- ling-a-lon" with Chip. and with her per- sonai preference for it she so empha- sises the little song that it charms hef audience, and they all leave with tender spot in their hearts for beth the song and singer
 On one of her visits to Washington, upon her. She had conceived an idea that all Chinamen were deaf, so spoke very loudly to him.
 "You know we can't get our Chinese clothes to look so graceful as your people do." she said. Much to her surprise. he answered her Tn the sOItcSl tone, we understand"
 Miss Marble asked me if I knew Miss Agnes Scott a member of the company, when she lived here, and said she ex- pected great things of her in the near future.
 Miss Scott came in to see me, just then, and we went out into the passage to talk while Miss Marble dressed for the next scene.
 Miss Scott said that Mary Marble is a regular mother to the company and If any one is sick she is never too tired to nurse them. and when the chorus girls wear out their costumes, she substitutes her own.
 Miss Marble says this is not an age for fat women, and that she has a great deal of trouble getting becoming and ef- fective gowns. She likes best to wear red, but believes her audiences like her best in white.

VISIT TO THE
 MERCY HOME

When only a few years ago, the ladies banded themselves together to build a Mercy Home in Birmingham, little did they realize that in so short a time they would have such an important institu- tion. This building Is of brick, and is located on Eleventh avenue and Twenty third street north.
 Here is constructed a home for the helpless and homeless. In response to an invitation to visit this institution, went, and a slight ring at the door was immediately answered by a young girl who received me cordially, and I was asked in to a cozy parlor furnished by the Baptist churches of Birmingham. Mrs. Ramsey, the matron, soon appeared and cheerfully showed me through the building and gave much information rela-

IF LOVE sE LORD OF ALL.

What though through room and hall The wild wind whistle at his wul; What though the roof lean low II And say the outer wall, - If love be Lord of all What though our garnered hoard With all our efforts be but small And food upon our board Be scanty, poor and plain, If Lobe be Lord of all? What though the senses fail. The cheek where roses bloomed grow pale Youth fled and past recall. Naught left save memory If Love be Lord of all? The sky will brood above And hold us in it's blue embrace; The light in each loved face Will on us softly fall If Love be Lord of all. Come veal to me, come woe, So but safely, surely know Put doubting past recall" That as go upon my way Dear Love is Lord of all.

monds were sufficient jewels for one | evening
 l woman who attracted a great deal of i attention was with a small party at a table next to the bejeweled creature, and wore a dinner gown of mauve velvet with a haring hat eneircled with long white plume. She was almost as dark as a Creole, with brilliant color and she had the vivaeity and facination of the l French women.
 One of the prettiest toilettes was of black velvet with sable and with this was worn a picture hat of black ad- justed with plumes.
 A gown of striking simplicity and ele- gance was of white cloth the bodice hav- ing medallons of Irish lace and the skirt being quite plain, a white hat and the long white feather boa with the three ends finishing the costume. These boas ending in three long tobs are the latest things and the smart women are wearing them.
 A tall blonde girl was greatly admired in a pink and white dinner gown, her hat of real lace being a broad brimmed affair and about the low crown of white panne velvet ran a thick setting of pink wild roses.
 A number of black gowns were worn, very youthful looking woman wearing a gown of black chiffon, the shirring which forms a popular trimming on many of the gowns, extending below the hips and just above the knees She wore a black hat and her cloak was of black velvet with a sable collar.
 One of the most striking gowns was in white uncut velvet with lace and ermine, and there was a girl who strik ingly resembled Miss Roosevelt and who was charmingly gowned m white lace, with hat of pink roses.
 It may be very frivolous to say 1t, but smart gowns and hats and jewels form a very large part of social life, and this charming palm garden without this scin- tillant phase would not be in the least interesting.
 If American social life may be studied in the luxurious and elegant hotels, then there are large opportunities to admire the American woman as she forms the most characteristic and conspicuous part in our brilliant social life.
 It is not surprising that so many Amer ican artists are endeavoring to interpret the American woman of today, and it should be source of qualification that the next generation will be so well sup piled with evidence of the beauty and attractiveness of the American woman of the present day. Gibson Christy, Un- derwcod, Hurlbut and other illustrators could find sufficient inspiration at fleeting glance through this glittering in- terior for their many fair types.

H ' EW ORLEANS, December 3-
 Special )-We were sipping our k v demltasse cafe tonight when some one remarked that American ao- cinl life could be observed in the ex- elusive hotels since every year found the most representative people more in- clincd to dispense their hospitality at the luxurlously appointed hotels, where they may entertain with so little trouble to themselves at the most elaborate of din- ner dances or the most informal sup. per after the operas.
 That entertaining at the smart hotels has long been in vogue among MT Wat terson's -four hundred" is well known to every one who Is frivolous enough to read the society journals of New York or who has happened to be there horse show week, and of course, most of us have enjoyed the peacock walk" in New York's most famous hotel, where anyone indellcate enough to do so may scrutinize gowns and jewels that might adorn a queen of the east.
 But in the south it Is only recently that the fashionable hotels have become so brilliant a centre of social life, that the gayest and most opulent phase of south ern society may be observed there and that attention is being called to the fact that the custom of dining in the beauti- full hotels so long in vogue at the north is rapidly finding favor with the most representative classes of the south.
 Tonight at the St. Charles the dinner .f a1 jewels, as it is every evening, and to- night there Is not even a French opera, so that every one fingered for the music
 falm garden and one could ob. serve the gowns and the jewels while one slipped after dinner coffee or drank benedictine beneath the palms. And it is not difficult to scrutinize people when they want to be scrutinlzed.
 The woman who was the most stared at tonight came in to dinner quite late. She was the sensation of the evening and the maitre de hotel led the way for her party, their table being just next to ours. She was in pink brocade, and her gown was beautiful enough without the addi. tion of jewels. The stock was quite high and was fashioned entirely of small dia- monds. Below this broad and scintillant circlet was a necklace of immense soli- taires and the pink corsage showed a glittering tracery of diamonds. She wore her hair quite simply without any jewels and indeed the stock and rope of dia- AO-~-%~-~<-~~~-A-~-~-~ sen, who. with Miss Dexter, are to be the bridesmaids.
 The decorations were beautiful. A large white wedding bell was suspended above the table and the place cards were very artistic each with a design of wedding bells and a scrap from Mendelssohn's s wedding march, framing a dainty face in water color.
 The colors in the table decorations of carnations and streamers and bows of satin ribbons, were pink and white, which
