MRS. MIMs's JOURNAL.

Mrs. Livingston Minis of Atlanta has
written a journal which is now in
course of publica tion. The period
covered by the journal is from 1878 to
1884 before Mrs Mimms gave UP society to
enter upon the leadership of Christian
Science" in Atlanta.
Mrs. Mimms after serving for several
years has now resigned from her active
religious duties and 1t may be that she
will turn to literature.
The New York Herald in reference to
the book says:

Hon. R. H. Clarke of Mobile. one OF

The announcement that General w. c.

While General Oates has not received a

WHITE HAS RESIGNED.
Ambassador to Germany Not in the
Best of Health.

Berlin, Aug. 5.-Ambassador White mail
ed his resignation to the United States
several days ago. 1t is to take effect
early in November. The resignation may
now be in the hands of President Roose-
Welt The date set by the ambassador
for his resignation to go into effect is
November I. He is now at Hamburg
where he is taking the waters and where
he probably will remain till the end of the
month.
There is much gossip at Berlin concern
ing Mr.. Whites probable successor and
one circumstantial story is that the Presi-
dent intends to transfer Ambassador
Tower from St. Petersburg to Berlin,
Minister Storer from Spain to the Am
bassador to Russia and to appoint Henry
White, now Secretary of Embassy at
London, as Minister to Spain. Mr.. Tower
who has ben dissatisfied with st. Peters
burg expressed months ago wish to be
transferred to some other equally desira-
BILE post, preferably Berlin.

bassador to Germany April l, 1897 In

The MONOGRAM Fad.

The monogram fad seems to be as mu,h
in vogue with mon as with women. 1t is
impossible to say where it will end, UNI
less one might predict that they will take
to tattooing monographs on the palms Of
their hands.
What women are devoting most of their
attention to at present are the embroii-
cred silk hose. No matter what color
the hose may be, the embroidered mono
gram is always the same shade as the
gown she is wearing. The very newest
thing. however, is the monogramel shoe.

A BATTERY IS WANTED
ARTILLERYMEN OF BIRMING-
HAM DESIRE A CHARTER.
Numerous Petitions Have Been Re-
ceived by Adjutant General,
But No Action Has Yet
Been Taken.

Petitions and many communications
urging that a battery of artillery be as
signed to birmingham have been received
by Col. w. w. Brandon, Adjutant-General
of the Alabama National Guard.
The proposed battery is practically or
ganized and all the officers except a cap
tain have been selected. Nc charter has,
however, been granted bs~the Adjutant
General.
One of the petitions which has been
sent to Colonel Brandon contains the
names of the forty-five charter members
of the propos6ti battery.
The committee which was appointed to
assist in securing the charter from the
Adjutant-General in communication to
Colonel Brandon says of the membership
of the new company:
I'VE will state that every man on this
petition has had military experience
either in the National Guard or in the
regular army, and most of them saw
service in the late war with SPAIN or
rather served with the volunteers in
Florida"
The committee which is negotiating with
the Adjutant-GeneraI is composed of
j. Q. Smith. Frank S, White. Jr., w D.
Hays, II. II. Thompson, E. w. Lapsley
and Edward Pegues, well-known young
men of Birmingham.
The efforts of the committee are being
ably assisted by prominent citizens of
the Magic City. From the many petit
lions on the subject that have found their
way to the Adiutant-Ge office, the
wish to have a battery of artillery sta
toned in birmingham is general.
There are at present only three bate
ries in the Alabama National Guard. one
at Montgomery, one at Mobile and one
at Selma. The organization and accept
ence of the fourth battery would complete
a battalion of artillery.
While it is hardly probable that the
battery can be fully equipped at this time,
il could at least be partially supplied
with uniforms and. ornaments.
Colonel Brandon has net yet announced
the course he intends to pursue in regard
to the petitions.

"THE CONFESSIONS OF A WIFE"
THE Confessions Of a Wife," that have
been running serially in The Century for
several months, are attracting wide at
tention despite their morbid tone.
1t is not generally known, perhaps. that
the Confessions are written by Mrs.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward, who en-
ploys the pseudonym of May Adams
Lillian Whiting wonders that a reputa-
canonization of utter selfshness, utter
morbid and hysterical nonsense" when
the world is full of important and inter-
esting things.
Miss Whiting says:
Mrs. Dana Hermon, the wife who
makes these confessions is the blame
less angel type that we all known-the
woman between whose Stiffness and sell
fishness honors are equal; the woman
who Is always a suffering martyr thrown
amid barbarians. Mrs Dana Hermon
(who was Norma Trent before her mar
riage) figures by waylaying poor Mr..
Dana Hermon with notes at every angle
of his vision-notes signed in an original
manner, Norma, a Wife evidently Nor
ma thinks there had never been a wife
in the world before), and these effusions
made up of morbid sentimentalisUi-are
pinned to his pillow, and laid on his
plate. and thrust into his pockets, and
showered upon generally, and when he
proposes to go to Uruguay and leave Mrs.
Dana Hermon in undisturbed possession
of the domestic hearthstone-and the ink
bottle-the reader rejoices with him. He
departs and then Norma has another
grievance. She is now not only Norma,
a Wife but Norma, the Neglected with
a capital N"
But Miss Whiting presumably does not
know all that the editors do about the
Confessions" The denoument is yet to
be.
Besides there are those who wonder if
the Confessions are not in the nature
of an autobiography. Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps married Herbert Dickinson Ward
in 1888 when she was "A years of age and
he was q. The disparity in their ages
Is said to have proved not a happy con-
dition with the Wards.
Miss Phelps was born in Andover. Mass.
She lived there chiefly before her mar
rage, and 1t Is said by some of the And
over people who knew of her Familiarity,
that Mrs Ward was not by any means a
happy woman after taking so young a
man for a mate. Idle gossip touches even
celebrities, and IT particularized as to the
occasions when Mr.. Ward was openly
eglectful of his wife.
Oliver Wendell Holmes said that every
one could write at least one interesting
book if he would give true chronicle of
his own life.
Elizabeth" who wrote of her garden"
is accused of having thus made a step
ping-stone to fame and 1t Is possible that
the Confessions may prove of similar
value and carry their author beyond the
height she has already achieved.
