The Southern Industrial School at Camp Hill, in Tallapoosa County Is one of the most worthy and deserving institutions in the State of Alabamha- The idea there is to give the white boys and girls of Alabama who are not able to pay for an education of the hand and mind, a chance to work their way through the school, and while acquiring the rudi- ments of an academic, business education to have a thorough training in trade that will enable them to fight the battle of life and to make livelihood for them selves. The habits of industry and thrift are instilled within the young men and women at this institution and they are taught that labor Is honorable and that they should do anything that the hand finds to do.
 pr. Lyman Ward Is the principal of the institution and he has an able and eef- ficient corps of assistants in all the de- partments of industry and academic train ing Professor H. c. Wooddy is the superintendent and principal of the high school and he has proven to be the right man in the right place an9rougnly h,. @ ana
 This most excellent school has gone right along in It's work without any dis play or blowing of its own horn, but doing a great thing in it's especial line and suf- plying a long felt want. Any young man or young woman who desires an education and at the same time learn trade and work their way through the school have the opportunity here and many are already taking advantage of it. How many people are there in Alabama who know just what this school is doing l confess that when l went to Camp Hill last summer to attend the closing exer. cises of the school 1 was amazed to find what they had been doing there. There were growing crops fresh and luxuriant that had been planted and worked entire ly by student labor. the saw mill was in successful operation the carpentering work was all being done by the students and in every department of industry wonderful progress was being made The trustees are from some of the leading and most influential men from various communities of the State and the school is no longer an experiment, but fixture and up to this time 1t has been supported by private subscriptions from inside and outside of the State. Not one dollar. up to this time has been asked or received from any public source and It is not de- sired now unless 1t is found to be in every way worthy and deserving upon investigation of all that may be solicited for its aid and encouragement.

THE NEW WHITE HOUSE
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS SHARP
 LY CRITICISE CHANGES.
New Executive Offices Called by Various and sundry UncompIi- mentary Names--No Defense
 Made For It.

Washington Special to The New York Times
 Recent criticisms made in Congress on the changes at the White House and the ] newspaper comments which they have I called forth throughout the country have excited much interest in Washington. The 1 alteration of the White House has been
 one of the leading topics of conversa- 1 ton among Washington residents and 1 distatste for it is not by any means con- 1 fined to Congress.
 | An outbreak in the House has been an l t!cipated for some time, for the comments
 made unoficlaily by Senators and Repre-
 sentatives who have had business at the White House have been of a character to l lead the expectation that they would not 1 be able to control themselves | It Is only a f-w days since Senator I CockreN corning cut Of the White House gathered several newspaper men about
 him, pointed tn the rev building, and said with great earnestness: "Jf you want to serve your country
 why don't you write something about this horrible thing? Why don't you show ii up? How can You write about anything else when this thing is before your eyes?"
 Similar comments are made daily by almost every Congressman who is obliged
 to enter the new executive offices Sec
 retary Cortelyou Is forced to hear many gibes from these visitors, who persist in asking him how he can retain any aes-
 thetic sense when he stays in such a place. He meets these glbes with d
 strained smile and says nothing.
 Before the improvement the White
 House was the sole occupant of large
 plot of ground. It was severely simple structure, but highly satisfactory to the eye. It stood on the summit of a gentle ascent, surrounded by grass and trees, and
 walks. It was a pleasant and admirable sight. typifying 10 the tourists eye the
 dignity and simplicity of the American Government.
 On the Western side. stretching toward the Navy Department. was a conserva- tory This conservatory has been re- moved. In it's place now is a long, low, rregular-looking building, painted q star ing white and one story high It begins in tho middle of the west side of the White House and sticks out like an ex- tended arm to the very edge of the grounds, overlooking the street Its shape is that of trolley car about l5O feet long. It comes Up to about the height of the dining room windows of the White House.
 As 1t stands now the buildings on the grounds begin with the White House about in the middle. descend abruptly to the roof of the executive offices and con- tinue to the edge of the western grounds When the complete structure Is viewed from the front 1t presents lopsided look.

THINK IT OVER.
Something you can see in any Res
 taurant or Cafe.

A physician puts the query: Have you never noticed in any large restaurant at lunch or dinner time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men at the tables; men whose ages run from 60 to 80 years many of them bald and perhaps all gray, but none of them feeble or senile?
 Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or com ment, but nevertheless 1t is an object les son which means something.
 If you will notice what these hearty old fellows are eating you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking their way through a menu card of new fangled health foods; on the contrary they seem to prefer a juicy roast of beef. a properly turned loin of mutton. and even the deadly broiled lobster is not altogether ignored
 The point of all this is that a vigorous old age depends upon good digestion and plenty of wholesome food and not upon dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers.
 There is a certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat, coffee, and many other good things are rank poisons, but these cadaverous. sickly look ing individuals are a walking condemna- ton of their own theories
 The matter in a nutshell is that if the stomach secretes the natural digestive juices in sufficient quantity any whole some food will be promptly digested; if the stomach does not do so, and certain foods cause distress one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal will remove all difficulty because they supply just what every weak stomach lacks. pepsin hydro-chloric acid, diastase and nuX.
 Stuarts Tablets do not act upon the bowels and in fact are not strictly a medicine. as they act almost entirely npon the food eaten, digesting 1t thoroughly and thus gives O much needed rest and giving an appetite TOT the next meal.
 Of people who travel nine out of ten use stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. knowing them to be perfectly safe to use at any time and also having found out by expe- rience that they are a safeguard against indigestion in any form, and eating as they have to. at all hours and all kinds of food. the travelling public for years have pinned their faith to Stuart's Tab cts.
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized packages. and any. druggist from Maine to California, if his opinion were asked, will say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets is the most popular and successful remedy for any stomach trouble. wed-fri-sun.

AN INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
 FOR WHITE BOYS AND CIRL$

the House of Representatives on yester- day bill making an appropriation or one thousand dollars each year for four years stitution and for the education of white boys and girls who are not able to edu- cate themselves. No money will have ever been paid out of the State Treasury for worthier or more deserving cause and the amount 10 insignificant in com parison with the great good 1t will do.
 The attention of the legislators Is Invited to this splendid and most meritorfous in- stitution. The attention that the school is already receiving from philanthropic and literally disposed persons is note- worthy and every now and then when 1t is found that a poor boy or poor girl is desiring to enter the school and the means are not at hand 10 provide a plan for them the necessary amount Is at once forthcoming and the boy or girl is enter ed and begins at once upon career which can but be most beneficial and a blessing to them through all after life. l have In mind recent incident in point. The school paper called attention to the fact that there were ee worthw. but depen- dent young womeh who wanted to enter the institution and work their way through and asking that some one pro vide the means to give them a start and set them on the way in their work. In a few days a good woman pledged herself to give all that was necessary for two of them and expressing confidence In being able to provide for other through 1riends. And this is the daily story, some poor. though worthy and ambitious boy or girl enters this institution and Is at once thrown into a Christian influence and given a thorough and earnest training which clings to them through life. and fits them for the struggle for which can fronts us all.
 had the pleasure of visiting the school recently and in all departments found them as busy as bees under the super vision of competent and conscientious in- structors. The boys are at work on the farm, in the saw mill, cutting and haul ing wood looking after the cattle and all kinds of work about the place, while the girls are taught stenography and short hand, how to sew and all kinds of work in their line while they are given a course of instruction in all departm ents of aca- demic and business training, which, as has been said prepares them to meet the competition of the world as they so out to make a livelihood.
 The school asks a small appropriation from the State and 1t is so just and worthy a cause that one cannot see how anyone could object to the modest sum asked for 1t. The matter will come be- fore the Committe on Appropriations of the House in day or two and a favora- ble consideration fs asked for 1t.

MRS. DAVIS TO TRANSFER
 BEAUvoIR IN PIERS

1xAk1 V SAxS 4&s &@8soS&Ns
 The following item of interest appeared in the Sunday issue of The New Orleans Picayune:
 Mrs. Jefferson Davis is expected to come South in the latter part of the month. and to. transfer in person to the Sons of Confederate Veterans the Beau voir property recently purchased by them, and of which the deed was delivered by Mrs. A. McC. Kimbrough of Greenwood Miss, to the Sons a few days since. Mrs McC. Kimbrough has been a leading spirit in the work of raising the funds for the purchase of Beauvoir during the past ten years and she was ably assisted in this by her sister, Mrs. L. P. Yerger These ladies are very happy, after so many disappointments to at last place this historic old home in the strong and willing hands of the Sons of Veterans.
 In delivering the deed to them, Mrs. Kimbrough said:
 Gentlemen and Sons of Confederate Veterans-Nearly ten years have elapsed since the movement was first begun to acquire and preserve Beauvoir as a last ing monument to the most illustrious of all Mississippi's illustrious men, to him who was the chosen chieftain of your proud and chivalric fathers, to him who was commander-in-chief of the most be- roic army that was ever marshaled to fight flor freedom in freedoms holy land" to Jefferson Davis, the first and only President of the ill-starred Southern Confederacy. Surely every one who loves our dead chief and the surviving heroes of the Lost Cause would be glad to hold as one historic possession this dear old homestead, to consecrate part of 1t as a home for our remnant of "the gray" I beg that we bestir ourselves in this behalf, as our time is short and our opportunities are fieeting to do for these grand men whose ranks are thin ming fast. After many vain efforts to have this place owned and kept by the people of Mississippi, today that hope is realized, and today. at the request of Mrs. Davis, our mother. have the pleas ure and honor of turning over the deed to Beauvoir 10 the Sons of Veterans of Mis- sissippi, Take this and hold it as a sacred trust, and always keep it. I pray yon, as our mother would have 1t kept.

according to the current criticisms. It is asserted by the critics that this arrange ment has deprived the White House of its beauty and dignity and made 1t look ridiculous. Aside from this there Is much profane comment about the shape and general appearance of the executive of flee. The long low structure 3utting out from the west side of the White House Is fiat on the ground. Carriages draw up at the doorstep, contrasting with the stately steps leading up to the White House proper. This pecuharity accounts for the frequent comparison of the exec utive offices to a carriage factory, and the stock inquiry why the barn should be annexed to the side of the building.
 Mr. Gaines of Tennessee. in the debate of Thursday, said: With anguish, with absolute pain, I regret that we have 6 tunnel on one side of the White House and a coal house on the othsr."
 MT. vandiver of Missouri. compared the new building in the same debate to "a carriage barn or a chicken coop" MT. Fitzgerald of New York made no com- parlson, but called 1t q 'monstrosity. :" MT. Sims of Tennessee, said 1t reminded him of "a Western dug-out almost . chicken coop"
 There was no defense of the building. and MT. Cannon. the Republican leader, during the debate said: Great Heavens, I have no patience with the architect"
 There is also a great deal of complaint about the interior of the White Housa It is charged that the rooms have been made to look garish and ugly.
 When they were completed. photo grapher took some pictures of them and sent them on approval to a magazine The magazine returned some of the pio- lures, saying in substance; We do not care for photographs of the rooms in this uncompleted state. but when the work is finished you may send us photographs. The photographic wrote back that the photographs represented the rooms in their finished state.

Observance of Lent .

The observance of Lent this year will have behind t larger religious force than ever before. It remains to be seen whether the season will be more largely kept than heretofore. The season begins on February 70 and concludes April F. Protestant bodies that never before made mention of Lent have recommended off, c!a!!y that the season be observed. The National Gospel Campaign Committee spe- cially urge the keeping of Ash Wednes- day. and all mission boards in America and Canada urge the keeping of holy week Method!sts, Baptists, Congrega- t!onalists Reformed, Disciples of Christ United Brethren and even Quakers have, in some of their bodies. formally recom- mended the keeping of the season. As Roman Catholics, Episcopalians and Lu- therans already keep it, in some measure at least, the season has now the indorse- ment of all religious America.

Thursday Night Kocian Wizard of the Violin.

Says The New York Herald; Herr kocian charmed New York concert goers and his debut before an audience of great size stamped the new virtuoso as an em. phAtic success. It needed only i've min. utes to establish for him sympathetic re- lations with his hearers, who listened to him first dispassionately. then with grow ing attention. and finally with enthusI- asnl. His success was the triumph of e still, small voice which speaks from his violin with quiet insistence and great purity of things, poetic and intellectual.
