campion of England, and Peter Maher,
the heavyweight pugilist, fought six
rounds at the Ariel Athletic Club last

The line is complete in every respect
and includes all branches Of goods
from the factory to Those made
to order. The grade is higher than
those carried by other stores and are
sure to win the approval Of the most
fastidious.
The window decorations are par
ticularly effective. One is devoted to
an artistic dispay of draperies and
cushions. In the other the background
has been removed, giving an uninter-
rupted view of the store.
The immense store is spiclS and span
from top TO bottom. A woman is en-
ployed ny day and a man by night to
keep the store clean and their efforts
are highly successful, as house clean

out of twenty-fcur is certain to be.

PRETTY WINDOW DISPLAY
That Of r. n. Scott & Co. ElIcits
Much Admiration

Admiration is expressed on every
hand for THE display windows at the
store Of r H. Scott. No. 314 Market
street Both are artistically arranged,
and there is not a woman but who stops
for a second to look. The upper win
dow is draped in airy white stuff re-
lieved with panels of dark green velvet
and numerous sprays of asparagus
fern. These form an effective back
ground for the three or four stylish
hats displayed. Some new things in
gloves are shown. The lower window is
similarly decorated, except that it has
panels Of black instead of green, and
all the hats are black and white. II is
a veritable study in those two colors.

SAYS RESERVE
IS NOT HELD UP
Comptroller of the Currency
Denies That He Over
ruled Secretary Shaw
He is IN HARMONY WITH HIM

Mr.. RidgeIey Says eefore Abollsalag
Ranks' 5ese-ve Against United
States deposits the Matter Was
Fully Discussed.
Washington, oct. 4.-Comptroller Of
the Currency Ridgeley yesterday au-
thoi1zed g denial of reports that he
had overruled the action of Secretary
Shaw in releasing the reserve funds
OF banks for the relief of the strained
money situation Mr.. Ridgeley said
that he was at a loss to account for its
origin. He said that he had not only
not taken such a step. but that there
had been no case before him on which
any such action could be passed.
Comptroller Ridgeley gave out the
following statement:
"The report that have overruled.
OF attempted to overrule, or shall at
tempt to overrule the secretary of the
treasury, In the matter OF reserve on
government deposits secured by gov
ernment bonds, is wholly false and un-
founded. Before the decision was
reached and the announcement made
by the secretary that no reserve need
be maintained against government de-
posits secured by government bonds.
the secretary and several times had
discussed the matter, and we are in
full accord as to the policy Of his an
nouncement and the way 1t shall be
carried out.
"The discretion Is joint. The statute
says: The comptroller of the curren-
cy may notify any association whose
lawful reserve shall be below the
amount above required to make good
such reserve, and if such association
shall fail for 80 days thereafter so to
make good its reserve tho comptroller
may. with the concurrence OF the sec
retary of the treasury, appoint re-
ceiver.' etc. The comptroller cannot
act without the concurrence Of the sec
rctary of the treasury. and the seore.
tary cannot act without the initiative
of the comptroller. The discretion is
therefore joint and final decision must
be with the secretary"
Mr.. Ridgeley was manifestly sur
prised over the reports that he had
6verfbled the action OF Secretary
Shaw regarding the matter of reserve
on government deposits.

Altoona shut out Wilmington A. A.
yesterday at Altoona before a large
crowd. Wilmington Al "A. was unable
to hit Veil. who pitched for Altoona.
The five hits they made of him were
we'll scattered and did not count for
anything. Blough. who did the twirl-
ing for the Wilmington A. A., was bat
ted viciously. Just when his opponents
succeeded in punching their hits the Wis

CHESTER EASILY
BEAT WILMINGTON
Yesterdays Game Was Slow
and Listless-Altoona
Shut Out A. A.

Chester and Wilmington both seemed
to have connected with a pipe yester-
day, and as a result both played a poor
game. Wilmington could not hit Bart
hold, who did the twirling for Chester
This surprised the local fans, and was
the direct cause of thefr losing the
game. While the locals were doing their
best TO connect with the sphere, Ches-
ter was pounding Myers for ten hits,
which, coupled with errors, netted
them seven nuns.
Barthold was liberal with his passes,
giving nine in ALL Several times they
had the bases filed but could not score.
Hartman played second ~base until the
seventh inning. when Wiegand took his
place. The team seemed to rally then,
and made their first run. In the eighth
inning they scored their second last
run.
Today the Philadelphia Athletics will
play at Front and Union streets. Wilson
and Waddell will do the pitching for
the champions and Winham the work
for the home team.

WANT LOWER WHISKY TAX. Liquor Men Say They Have Endured
 1t Long Enough.

Louisville. April 3o.-In speaking of the desire of the liquor interests that Con- gross reduce the tax on whisky, Angelo Myers of Philadelphia, president of the Kentucky distilleries and warehouse company who Is in Louisville says:
 .The liquor interests have endured these high taxes and these restrictions long enough and the trade is determined that they shall stop. All branches of the business are united for the first time and we will make fight. We will enter poli- tics and we have money I should not be surprised if the country should see the strongest and the most powerful organ ization not to be a party organization that was ever formed in this country
 There will be an organization of lio,or interests-retailers. distillers and others in every county in every state In inc Union. and the state organization will send accredited delegates to the federal or national body, and tax will be i'm posed on each state organization.
 Such an organization Is now being ner. fected quietly in this counI'y, and we wil, defend our rights

 "A discriminating, enthusiastic and de- lighted audience greeted MT. Charles c. Washburn, who appeared in song reel tai at the Haynes Opera House last night
 This splendid baritone was at his best, and the hearts and souls of those present were fairl@ captivated by the spell of his sweet singing. Now the vibrant tender ness of his love songs caught and thrilled them. and again the power and dramatic fire of his more pretentious numbers challenged their wonder and admiration.

The Club Woman (Boston) official or gan Of the G. F. ". C. keeps in touch with all sections by having an editor from each federated state, and one from some unfederated states. The April number gave all the space nearly for state news to California, and the May number af- lords intelligence from seven states, among them Texas, whose editor, Miss Kate Friend, is so well known by her shakesperean researches. The Alabama editorial in the May number, Mrs, K. H. Moomsette. in this department Is very brief. and Is as follows
 Few are the club annals of Alabama in the present year. The old Committees are steadily pursuing their work. The new ones, on art and household eco- monies are making efforts which belong to the initiatory stage.
 "The Alabama editor respectfully begs leave to suggest that broader and closer historical view of her own and of neigh boring states can be obtained by reading two books written by an author who Is Southern by birth but cosmopolitan by career. 1neSe are ne luiti AiN Southern States of the American Union' and "The Civil History of the Confeder- aey," by Hon J. L. M. Curry published by B. F. Johnson, Richmond, Va. The pertinency of the suggestion lies in the fact, acknowledged by all, that the pres ent of every land Is rooted In its past, and in another fact equally accepted, that nothing so brings the citizens of every state into mutual understanding and sym pathy as does knowledge of the life and character of all by the citizens of each While the feminine instincts of club wom- en are seeking to bind us in a general federation, 1t may be well to add to our instincts knowledge which, in its com pleteness, is often the forerunner of that charity which is the greatest thing In the world and maker of the tie that binds. May 1 also suggest that In our travelling libraries we seek to secure ac- curate and sympathetic histories of each state by a son or daughter of that state, and histories of each section by native of that section?
 Such books would aid every reader to form his or her opinion on national issues, and would enable each to focus the lines diverging from many points Of view"

RECITAL AT THE SEMINARY.

On Friday night large select audience was gathered to hear the recital at the Birmingham Seminary. Misses Reese and Perkins, pianists, and Blanche Weller, elocutionist, rendered choice selections from the best composers and authors. Each of the young ladies acquitted her self charmmgly, and every number was admirably given. Miss Perkins played the Chopin Waltz, Op. 42, especially well, and Miss Reese's rendering of the Nocturne by the same composer was delightful. Miss Weller was most happy in "The Sunday Fishin',' and was so heartily ap- plauded as to find difficulty in refusing encores. These young ladies are all tall ented pupils of the Birmingham Semin- ary, and reflect the careful training all ways given by this institution.
