PROMINENT AMERICANS
 FORM CLUB IN LONDON.

The report that Americans will shortly have London club equal in exclusiveness and prominence to any of the leading clubs in the United States Is confirmed An influential Anglo-American committee was formed recently for the purpose of arranging all the details and getting the organization ready prior to the corona tion of King Edward.
 Among the committeeman are Lords Kintore, Suffeld, Craven and Marcus Beresford, Major General Sir Reginald Pole-Carew Anthony Drexel and Regi- nald D. Ward. Other prominent men, both British and American, are expected to join the organization body in the near future. The clubs name will probably be the Columbia, and it's quarters will be in a large building now occupied by the Avondale Hotel, Piccadilly, near St. James street.
 The object is to afford Americans, who are now barred by their nationality from several leading London clubs. a social headquarters in the British capital such as they have at home. Women will be allowed the privilege of admission to cer- tain rooms including the dining room. When started this will be the most ex- pensve club in England, the entrance fee, $250, being more than the fee asked by any English club.
 Any member of the leading American organizations, such as the Union and Knickerbocker Clubs of New York, the Somerset of Boston, and the Metropoli- tan Club of Washington, will be admit ted without ballot for temporary mem bership. To quote one of the founders of the new club, 'Tt will be club de luxe, where Americans of good social standing can feel as much at home as they would in an American club, and have the oppor- tunity of meeting the incest people in England on equal terms"
 Only few weeks ago one of the oldest English clubs passed a bylaw prohibit ing Americans from becoming members.

SALE OF EXQUISITE LACE
 MADE BY INDIAN WOMAN.

Birmingham women will be quite inter ested in the lace sale which will be con- ducted Easter Monday at the residence of Miss Heriot, 12lS South Twentieth street, under the auspices of St. Mary's branch of the Woman's Auxiliary. The lace was made by the Indian women in the mission schools in the West and is a very rare collection. It includes doilies collarets center-pieces and many separ- ate pieces in edgings and insertions. Every piece shows the utmost skill in needlework, and the remarkable talent of the Indian woman.
 The lace made by the women in these schools is known throughout the coun- | try, and annual sales are held in many | of the large cities. A gold medal was awarded this lace at the Paris exposition and everywhere is the skill of the Indian women becoming known through the eX- quisite lace sent out from these schools.
 Birmingham women are cordially invit- ed to attend the lace sale Easter Monday and if this first sale is successful, 1t is proposed to have an annual sale.
 It may not be generally known what importance is now attached to the lace in- dustry of the North American Indian women, or how the schools came to be established.
 It was through the efforts of Miss Sybil Carter of New York that the lace indus try was opened for the poor and idle Indian women, and Miss Carter's inspira- ton came from similar industries in Flu rope
 Some years ago, Lady Aberdeen. of the condition of the poor women of Ire land that she determined to open an in- dustry for them alone. The close lace making, knowing that industry was all most extinct in Great Britain. and feel ing sure their lace would easily sell. Shortly afterward Queen Margherita had her attention called to the poor women of Northern Italy, and she began to re- vive the almost forgotten industry of hand-woven or pillow-lace, as it Is usual ly called, from its being woven on a large pillow or cushion
 Miss Carter in recalling recently the early days of the industry in this country gave the following interesting incidents connected with her visit to the West:
 "In 1886 l was invited by Bishop Whip | pie to visit White Earth Reservation, and I was deeply impressed by the utter | idleness of the women and by the fact | that they asked me to give them work. At once I began to talk to my friends l about a trade for the Indian women. Many plans were discussed. At last, in July, 1890, I again visited White Earth, and this time gathered twelve Indian women from the Ojibway tribe into a log hut and gave them a few lace lessons. was amply repaid in a three weeks visit by bringing back twelve bits of very pretty lace, thus proving two things: First, they could learn; second they wanted very much to work for their liv- Ing. I pressed the matter as rapidly as I could upon my friends and secured funds to send out two teachers, one in October. 1S90 the next in August, 1891. March 1, 1892. found me a resident of White Earth, and I soon found that I could not gather many women at any one place, so l opened a lace class at Red Lake, 120 miles north of White Earth, and one at Leech Lake, 90 miles east from White Earth,

Vaudeville at Auditorium.

For three reasons the bill this week at the Auditorium is the best since the house opened. It presents the greatest number of acts of the greatest variety and they are all of a higher class. The old idea of having one black faced act one acrobatic act a singing team and a comedy sketch Is done away with In this weeks programme.
 The least appreciated, but the act rep resenting the hardest work and requiring the most skill was that of Arthur Buck ner, trick bicyclist. He does many real ly remarkable feats.
 Madge Ellis is a stunning looking wom- an, has good voice for the kind of work she does and receives well merited ap- plause for her semi-pathetic song of an Irish fiddler.
 Ali Holt is like Tom Brown and other whistlers, only he Is better. He whistles better and introduces some very clever comedy which makes his cat "go" with sufficient ginger to please the audience.
 Pankleb, the clay molder, started the ball of good things rolling. He Is good curtain raiser. does some good clay modelling and Is no bad comedian. The act is a new one here and went well. .
 The Berlin Sisters have better voices than those usually heard in vaudeville. They do not stoop to sing coon songs and popular ballads, therefore, did not ap- peal to the balcony gods but the or chestra portion of the audience enjoyed and appreciated the singing.
 Baby Kelton Is the whole thing in the act of the musical Keltons. She Is the good, better and best of 1t.

Mont gomery,-M March 23-(Special-) )-The social life of Montgomery will be renew ed immediately after the Lenten season by a revival of the old Irish Donny Brook Fair, made so famous by Gold smith in his vicar of Wakefield. How ever, those in charge of the affair prom ise that Rotady will not meet with the sad experience of Moses and come away with only a gross of green gargles. As at the Dame Brook Fairs of old, there will be something to interest all from the sideshows of the rainstring lady to Gainsboroughs famous Duchess of Dew onshire. It is planned that the spacious new auditorium shall be filled with booths, some to be occupied by exhibits of spring goods by the merchants, while others will present various modes Of amusements. The treasures of the Louvre and Louxembourg will be copied for the occasion Some of Montgomerys notably handsome women will be seen in these pictures.
 Mrs. Joseph Drum, formerly Miss Claudia Lewis whose beauty is famed troughout the state, will represent Rich ters famous Queen Louisa of Prussia. Mrs Oliver Bartlett will pose as the Goddess of Liberty" The statuesque form and classic features of Mrs. Bart lett will adopt her to this Interpretation. and this will be one of the most unique numbers for the evening, as the rare beauty of this charming young matron will be encircled by myriads of soft lights. Mrs. Ben Greil, who as Miss Forcheimer, was a celebrated belle and beauty of Mobile will be a typical twen- tieth ,centruy Christi Girl" The Duch- ess of Devonshire will be portrayed by Miss Willie Browning Haralson and cer- tainly a more typical parsonage could not be found for the portrayal. Miss Haral- son Is the daughter of Associate Justice Jon. Haralson of the Supreme Court and she is justly famed as one of the most | beautiful young woman of the Capita, City.
 These and a number of other beauties will lend their charms for sweet chari- tvs sake" and the success of the enter tainmert is assured when one reads the list of patronesses, which constitutes Montgomery smart set. Among those included in this list are Mrs. Burwell Boykin, Mrs. James Kirkman Jackson, Mrs. Phoes Coleman, Mrs. Robert Goldth- waite, Mrs. Leon Well, Mrs. Jack Thompson Mrs. William Preston Screws. Mrs. J. M. deCottes, Mrs. Richard Banks, Mrs O. c. Mauor, Mrs. Warren Reese, Mrs. John Elmore. Mrs. Lawrence Fisk, Mrs Walter Fisk Mrs. James Wilcox. Mrs Martin Baldwin, Mrs. A. J.

EDWARD ON YACHTING CRUISE. British Ruler Will Make Trip Around
 the English Coast.

New York. March 24.-King Edward will start on a yachting cruise around the English coast on Thursday. He will have to make certain public appearance at ports of call of the royal yacht, says the London correspondent of the Tribune, but there will be as little ceremonial as possible.
 No programme has been marked out, but it is believed His Majesty will visit the Channel Islands. If he does so he will be the first English King to set foot on the old Norman Feif of the crown since the days of King John. When Queen Victoria visited the islands in a cruising tour the soil had not been trod by an English sovereign for more than six hum dred years.

Julia M arIoWe.

Tonight at the Jefferson Theatre Julia Marlowe will be seen in her latest suc- cess. Whether or no one should behold in the Mary Tudor of Julia Marlowes 8 new play, When Knighthood Was in Flower" a blend of Katharine the shrew, whose tanning is the best of com edy lovetales; Rosalind who in a pas toral makes a merit of a difficulty de- manding a costume such as Mary wears in the third act, and of Viola, 1t is no exaggeration to say that 1t Is the most arduous role Miss Marlowe has essayed. That she meets all it's requirements and presents a beautiful realization of the heroine is another way of saying that her growing powers have put within her reach all dramatic parts.
 Mary Tudor Is a vixen, but she Is not vixenish always. She possesses tender ness and lovableness when her heart Is stirred. She has a will of her own as Miss Marlowe paints her. Her determi- nation Is to have the man of her choice, come what may. How she yields to the dictates of her fancy Is delightfully."- shown by Miss Marlowe, who shades these moods of the capricious girl with rare artistry.
 In the first act she Is a termagant eager to see if she really loves; in the second she Is In a torture of doubt as to her lovers fate; in the third she risks all to run away with him, and when to save him 1t is necessary to marry Louis of France, she does so with the courage of a true heroine After her royal husband departs from this world she sets about regaining the man who Is all in all to her Through recourse to a promise won by a pretty wit she obtains her hearts desire. Miss Marlowe is said to make an exquisite Mary and to have created character that is a memorable addition to bar pa llary of dramatic nortraits
