YOUNG WOMEN SUGGEST
NEW BASEBALL PROBLEM

first ball will be pitched by either Mr.
Nichlin or Mr.. Drennen.
There will be a band at the park ana
very handsome floral designs Will be
presented by the young women IN the
party to Manager Haller.
Every effort will be made for the COM
fort and pleasure of the women who are
baseball enthusiasts and 1t is authorita-
lively announced that perfect order
will be maintained at the park the en-
tire summer
Whether the management has confer
red with the Amalgamated Association of
Rioters could not be ascertained, but
it Is certain that no baseball enthusiast
can read this broad statement without
feeling that where perfect order" is
enforced the result would be fatal to the
game
1t is equally certain that satisfactory
arrangement must be effected between
the women who attend the games and
the men patrons who are nothing If not
fans" or ''rooters." A fan" need not
however, be a ''rooter." but tie latter Is
necessarily a fan" explained a man
yesterday to woman very dull of COM
prehension.
Just in which class the young women
enthusiasts will come will not be definit e.
ly known until the season opens.

LONDON'S EXCLUSIVE
ANGLO-AMERICAN CLUB.

Folk in Piccadilly have been showing
an unwonted interest in the outside of
the Avondale hotel during the last few
days or since it was announced that the
fashionable hosiery has been taken by
a syndicate of rich Americans and Brit
ish noblemen and is to be turned into
an unusually sumptuous Anglo-Ameri-
can club, says London letter.
The Avondale. In its new character of
headquarters for American plutocrats
who are in London for pleasure or for
the purpose of annexing another Brit
ish industry or two, will be known ap-
propriately as the Columbia. 1t stands
at the corner of Dover street and Pic
cadilly, or In the heart of the fashion
able West end. Bond street, st. James
street and Pail Mall are only a few steps
away and Park Lane and Belgrave
Square are within easy reach.
Londoners heard with a gasp that the
entrance fee for the new club would be
$3.50 and the annual dues $76. which made
it evident that the Columbia would be
the most expensive club in Europe. At
present the most costly of London clubs
is the Naval and Military with an en-
trance fee of $500 and an annual sub
scription of $50, while to even such ex-
elusive institutions as the Athenaeum,
Carton ana MARLBOROUGH the entrance
| fee is only $3.50.
| OF course with such sponsors as j.
| Pierpont Morgan, w. c. Whitney and
| Senator Depew, Lord Charles Beresford
| the Duke of Sutherland and the Earl of
| Kintore, the new London club was sure
| to be a success and already applications
for membership have poured In from both
Englishmen and Americans In such num-
bers that the clubs committee will have
to pick and choose to select the thousand
members which 1t was decided In the
first place should constitute its strength.
The organization will start with cap
ital of one-fourth million dollars j.
Besides the $950,000 which the Avon
dale hotel cost the Anglo-American syn
dictate, 100000 more will be spent In alter
ing the first two floors of the building,
this amount covering the cost of renova-
ton alone and not that of either decora-
tions or furniture. The transformation of
the building is to begin at once and prob
ably Mr.. Morgan will make 1t his bust
ness to see that 1t is finished, as intended
before coronation week.
That the new club will fulfill its object
of promoting good relations between the
United States and England seems certain
especially as 1t has been arranged that
English members of the Columbia shall
be able to make use of different Ameri-
can clubs, while In return the members
of those associations will be able to make
the Columbia their headquarters when
they come to London.

MRS. TALIAFERRO TO
SPEND SUMMER ABROAD
BY ANNIE KEND RICK WALKER.

lost their force and that entirely new
ones are now to the front.
Mrs Taliaferro, however maintained
that the arguments formerly advanced
against co-education still existed, but she
held that co-education to the serious
minded young woman or man could prlns
only good results, and that the great I'M
iversities should be opened to the young
woman who otherwise would be deprived
of the higher educational advantages.
THE trouble lies in the lack of serious
ness on the part of many young women
said Mrs. Taliaferro. IF they take I'M
iversity course their work should be
characterized with an equal seriousness
as the college man gives to his pursuits
Where the girl applies herself closely, she
will not be the subject for the CRITICISM
that has been made the basis for much
of the discussion against co-education /
think, however, that with all the advan-
tages to be derived in the great colleges
that a young woman is not fitted for
university life until she is fully matured.
and l do not believe in co-education I'M
less she expects to apply herself serious
~ to the course of study she persues.'
with many women, the end of life is
marriage, while with men the end comes
only with death. In the professions, In
every walk of life, a man takes up a
death, while so many bright women
give their time to serious study for a
while only to give 1t up when marriage
comes into their lives
Mrs. Taliaferro was asked of the
strenuous club life that many women
were leading, and if she did not believe
that a reaction was being felt along this
line
She expressed the opinion that high
tide in club life had been reached, but
that while the spirit of organization that
swept over the country a few years ago
was in a measure waning, still that
something else would take its place.
! But perhaps Mrs. Taliaferros opinions
of Birm ingham's social life will be more
interesting than a discussion Of co-edu
cation and club life among American wo-
men. She shares the opinion held by
every one who lives here for any length
of time. and she who is familiar with
the most exclusive social life of this
country, who is a representative of all
that is best in the social life of the
world-famed regime of the old south,
declares that here in Birmingham is to
be found brilliant life akin to that of
the old and exclusive regimes.
1.-The parvenu and the nouveau riches
have not yet crept into social life" said
Mrs. Taliaferro, and she continued, IAN
other characteristic of Birmingham's So
cial life ID that married belleship is not
feature as 1t is in many cities"

CROSSES OF HONOR.

The announcement that Pelham Chap
ter, Daughters of the Confederacy,
would confer the Crosses OF Honor upon
the members of the Confederate camp at
Woodlawn was an error. The veterans
of this camp are to receive their crosses
on Memorial Day, but they Wa be be-
slowed by Mrs. Rose Garland Lewis. who
Is an honorary member of the camp.
Mrs. Lewis Is a loyal and devoted
daughter and has been a member of Pell-
ham chapter since its organization, but
the bestowal of the Cross of Honor upon
the veterans of the Forrest Camp is a
graceful act on the part Of Mrs. Lewis,
who desired to express In some way her
appreciation of the honor conferred upon

MUSIC CONSERVATORY,

Miss Edna Gockel. the pianist and Mr.
e. G.. Powell, the voice teacher, have
formed a business partnership and, be-
ginning tomorrow, will conduct the Bir-
mingham Conservatory Of Music estab-
lished I'M 1895 by Mr.. and Mrs. Quicken
berger. Miss Gockel is not only vir-
tuoso performer but she is a thoroughly
educated musician. She taught theory at
the conservatory as Mr.. Guckenberger s
assistant before going to Europe to
study. 1t is safe to say that no Ameri-
can pupil of the great Scharwenka is bet
ter fitted to teach along the lines of mod
ern methods than is this young musician.
She has only been back from Berlin two
weeks, yet she has twenty-five pupils.
Mr.. Powell is the choir master of the
Church of the Advent and Is one OF the
best singers and most popular voice
teachers in Birmingham. Certainly no
one here has had greater success in turn
ing out good singers.
Mr.. John Calman will continue to have
charge of the violin department Of the
conservatory.
Miss Glover will remain with the con-
servatory as assistant piano teacher.
