Attitude of Alabama Women to
 Race Question, MIR. FITZGlBBONS' WORK
Collection of Paintings Attracts Many Art Eovers-What the Summer Girl Is Reading and Her
 Preference for Novels.

Unusual interest has been attached to the Associated Press reports of the fed -r9tion biennial owing to the color ques- tion which was known would be the main discussion.
 From the reports it seems that the negro question has been finally solved and the victory of the Southern women is com plete.
 It is said by the women in a position to know that the admission of coloreG cluts will never again be brought to tho con sideration of the national body ard many of the cluo leaders of the South. notably the Georgia committee which have I'd in the fight are expressing their entire sat isfaction at the action of tie national body. That the attempt at reorganiza- tion was overwhelmingly defeated leaves lNwever, the situation in measure un- changed; that Is, the conditions regarding the eligibility of negro clubs to the gem eral federation IS the same. The sate- guard, however, that will always prevent the admission of negro clubs IS In the fact that the membership committee oi the national body will always lnclude Southern women who will defeat any CT fort to bring in the negro club.
 The checks thrown about the admission of any club constitute the Georgia sup stitute amendment which the national body has nov adopted
 With the race question settled In very subtle way it is believed that the South- err clubs who have remained out or the general federation will hesitate no ioiieei in applying for admission
 The ouestion is to be settled at the ap- nroaching meeting of the Alabama feu- eration. anu the delegates from the VHrl- ous crIhs th-oughout the State are oelhs ,,.etrn.+ed in regard to their votes At the last meeting of the state feoei at'o.l a motion to join the national poos "a9 +ah1ed but was after ward reconsloereo'

WHAT WOMEN ARE
 READING THESE DAYS

With the coming of the long summer days womens thoughts are not wholly upon summer gowns. This Is also the sea- son when they are finding time in which to read popular novel, for the long days and the quietude of summer. the cool corner on the awning-shaded bal cony or the hemmock beneath the trees. all inveigle the summer girl into many hours of reading.
 The woman who has prepared club pa- pers all winter gladly turns to a perusal of the latest novel, and in doing so she cannot be termed frivolous. She wants something light" and in selecting her summer reading she ignores biographies. histories and all books that make her think"
 "I have noticed" said MT. H. Baruch, who is at the head of one of the largest book departments in the city, that the majority of people prefer Tight reading in summer. Take women as class and they always ask for something that Is not heavy This applies only to the summer girl. so to speak. To the sum- mer reader March, April May and June are the months that the light books are most popular. The authors of books of this character, the so-caied popular novel of the day, certainly are in demand at this season, and the books that are just now selling best are Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall,' by Charles Major. the au- thor of When Knighthood Was in F'lower;' Audrey by Mary Johnston; The Battle Ground, by Ellen Glasgow; Dorothy South by George Cary Eggles- ton; The Siege of Lady Resolute,' by Harris Dickson. and The Hound of the Baskervilles,' by A Conan Doyle"

been painted, through the efforts
of the w. M. S., new furniture
had been added, the aisles and
flooring about the pulpit carpeted,
a new organ placed in position
and everything, like the young

not speak words praise enough

success among them.

The Anthracite Coal Strike.

The great strike of 1902 is now
under process of settlement, it is
to be assumed. For this reason
there is cause for infinite relief
and thankfulness. 1t lifts dark
pail of prospective calamity that
was enough to give humanity the
shudders. The victory of the coal
barons in the conference with the
President has proved, as the Her
aid said it would, a Pyrrhian
one. After successfully and inso-
lently defyng the greatest author
ity in the land, and establishing
its virtual supremacy over law,
human and divine, State and fed
eral, the greatest of the tariff
sheltered trusts has been brought
to book, apparently, and the coal
famine is averted.
1t has been the pride that goeth
before a fall which the coal trust
has experienced. Pulled up with
the possession of millions and the
bloated insoIence of power, it
Knocked the President, and the hui
manities for which he plead. That
was its undoing. 1t summoned to
the combat that greatest of all land
forces in this land of seventy mil
lions of citizens-public opinion.
But for the revolt of that all-dom-
inant master, the strikers would
have been starved into submission
though the Northern cities had
shivered all winter. On this the
barons, as represented by Baer,
had resolved-that let the suffer-
ing be what it might, nothing
short of the abject surrender of
the miners would bring relief.
But they miscalculated- the con-
demnation of the press, the ring
ing words of Gov. Odell, of New
York, and Richard Olney, of Bos-
ton, awoke Pierrepont Morgan to
the realities of the situation. The
lesson is one to be remembered
