She lis the Most Highly Educated
Woman In the World.
Fraulein REM is the most highly ed
ucated woman in the world.
This is perhaps saying a great deal,
but it is extremely doubtful whether
any other woman now living would
care to announce herself as a rival for
educational honors against this erudite
German lady.
The amount of learning she has abb
Igorbed and digested would put to the
blush the college bred women Of Amer
ica, and it is because of her polished
education that she is Germany's first
woman librarian.
To be appointed to a post in the
great state library Of Munich is an
honor for which hundreds of men
would be glad to compete, yet it was

It may be fair or desert land,

To know Thy love is sure,
To let Thee all my burdens bear
And in Thy strength endure.
Teach me, dear Lord, in Thine own way
Whate'er ought to be;
The lessons may be hard to say
The path too dark to see,
But, holding fast Thy pierced hand.

Until reach the unseen land
BY faith I'll walk In this.
Guide me. dear Lord. by Thine own eye
In every step take;
So shall feel Thee always nigh

Bathroom Fixtures.

When getting nickel fittings for the
bathroom, be sure to get those in which
the nickel is put on brass foundation.
Where the fixtures are iron nickeled,
when the nickel wears off, which it is
sure to do in time, your towels and 9TH
er articles will be rusted, says the Phil
adelphia Telegraph. 1t makes some
difference in the first cost Of these
things, but it pays in the end. The iron
fixtures are simply worthless when the
nickel wears off. But those of brass
will not in any way mark towels or
linen.

An Ammonia Bath,

If after hard day you feel tired out
and fit for nothing, have hot bath, to
which ammonia has been added in the
proportion of a teaspoonful to gallon,
the last thing before getting into bed.
Don't stay in the water more than ten
minutes at the outside; then, after
brisk rubbing, jump into bed as quickly
as possible.

Face Powder.

Almost every woman uses little
face powder occasionally, and as there
are many injurious articles on the mar
ket it is well to prepare it at home. Mix
one-half pound Of powdered starch with
two and half ounces of powdered
orris root, then run through a fine
sieve. Put little in bag of thin fam
mel, and apply it by shaking it lightly
on the face. The odor of fresh orris
root is always liked and closely re-
sembles Violets.

Motives of economy as well as refine

One article that has been allowed to
remain in the ice chest after it has lost

A woman insists that study is great

STILL MAKING THE DOTS
ENTHUSIASM OVER THE CON-
 TEST IS INCREASING.
Dot Editor Advises Contestants tc
 Prepare Their Charts and Say A. Nothing-Three Weeks i | More Remain,

The beginning of the second week of the Dot Contest shows a marked increase over the first week in point of charts submitted.
 Evidently much time has been consumed by Dot manufacturers in preparing charts. This is shown both by the ap- pearanee of the charts as well as by the time taken in preparing them.
 One young woman who deposited her chart in The Advertiser counting room yesterday remarked with a sigh as she laysd down 65 cents:
 "If I don't win the first prize I shall surely be the most disappointed person in Montgomery, for have worked for the last four days on these Dots. and I'm so nervous"
 Surely there ought to be more first prises as no doubt many disappointments will be felt.
 There is one peculiar thing about Dot contests. That is. that nearly every per son entering the contest is quite sure he has the correct solution of the problem, until the final decision is rendered and only one out of the many wins first prize They have submitted gracefully, but it is very doubtful if such will he the case in bhe present contest, as many of the con isstants have expressed absolute cer- tainty that they have the most dots. It is feared that no amount of consolation will convince them. even after the judges have render ed a decision.
 Although many hundreds of charts have already been received. there are yet many thousands to come during the next three weeks, so that one or two estimates from each person will count for very little in the long run. except. of course, the one who has the most.

CATHOLICS AND MAsoNs.
Father Brannan Explains the Att.
 tude of His Church.


 tude of His Church.
 The City Court room of the county court house was taxed to It's utmost capa- city last night, when an audience SOO strong assembled to hear the lecture of Father Brannon
 The lecture was on popular subjects and the Texas priest held the attention of the audience for nearly two hours.
 The lecture was based mainly on the subject of the use of statuary and paint ings of the Savior and the Saints In the Roman Church. Father Brannon held that it was simply token of respect and ceremony. He Illustrated his points with every day life examples.
 Father Brannon spent several minutes in explaining why Catholics are not Masons. He told of how bitter an enmt- ty was held by the Masons toward the Catholics in France, Spain, Portugal. Italy. and other European countries. He said that the Pope could not deal with the French Masons and the American Masons differently. but had to deal with the body as whole. He also spoke on the use of the sign of the cross and other ceremonies of the Roman Church and spoke fin their defence.
 Sunday Father Brannon spoke to a large audience at the Montgomery Theatre on the 'Infallibility of the Catholic Church.

MORMON CONFERENCE
ELDERS OF ALABAMA MET IN
 MONTGOMERY.
Elder Harris Preached at the Court House on The Book of Mor- mon-The Work in
 Alabama.

Seventeen Elders of the Mormon Church working in Alabama, met in Montgomery yesterday and Sunday and held con- ference for the good of the work of the Mormons in this State.
 Elder P. B. Dunkley of Birmingham, president of the Conference of Elders, presided. One public meeting was held, when at the county court house, Sunday night, Elder N. J. Harris, of Atlanta, secretary of the Southern States Mission preached to a good audience on "The Book of Monmon." giving the church's evidences, historical. scriptural. and through other channels ofits Divine in- spiration.
 Elder Harris. when seen yesterday, said that sixteen of the members of the Con- ference present In Montgomery are now labodng in Alabama. Several he said are in Birmingham. several in Mobile, and several in Montgomery. The others are scattered over the State.
 Elder Harris said that the methods which the Mission would pursue in Mont gomery and Alabama would be simply one for making friends and informing the people of their doctrines, principles, and beliefs, and to free their minds from prejudice against the Church of Mormon,
 The Mission. he said. was officially con- nected with the Utah Church. We ex- pect, no wonderful results" said Elder Harris, "but we want to let the people know what kind of people we really are and if they then see fit admit them to our church.
 Most of the Elders leave Montgomery today.
 Those present were: N. J. Harris, P. B. Dunkley, B. E. Gibbey, W. H. Orton. Blomerts. c. E. Ranck, F. H. Edmonds. J. D. Johnson, J. H. Murdock, w. D. Wright, H. B. Atchison, s. NJ. Hess, j.. w. Moulton, M. McArthur, F. D. Taylor. J. G. Brown, Bryant Spencer.

FOUND DEAD
 IN STREET Earnest Morrison Self slain with Morphine TOOK OVERDOSE OF POISON Young Carpenter Died Alone
 in the Night. Investigation by Coroner Showed That He Had Deliberately
 Planned His Own
 Destruction.

Ernest H. Morrison. aged g. carpen- ter in the employ of a sash and blind factory of this city, was found dead on North Decatur Street near Dexter Ave- nue at an early hour yesterday morning The cause of his death was declared by Coroner w. H. Tice, after investigation to have been an overdose of morphine taken with suicidal intent.
 Morrison was boarder at the residence of Mrs. s. c. Bland. North Decatur Street and it was in front of her house that he was found. evidently having been dead for several hours.
 investigation on the part of Coroner Tice indicated that Morrison had been in an intoxicated condition for day or two and 1t is surmised that he was not aware of his action.
 T. c. Clark. cousin of Morrisons and the Iatter's roommate in tho house of Mrs. Bland, said that Morrison came to the house about 8 o'clock Sunday night and after borrowing a dollar from Mrs. Bland returned to town. He came back. according to both MT. Clark and Mrs. Bland. soon afterwards with a bot tie of medicine, apparently morphine. He made the remark that though it seemed silly to think of it he never expected to see the sun rise again. After saying this he entered his room and Mrs. Bland, who followed him found him holding a pitcher of water to his mouth.
 According to statement of Mrs. Bland and MT. Clark they secured the bottle and threw 1t through the window, al- though wholly unaware that actual sui eide was the purpose of Morrison.
 Mir. Clark said Morrison left the house shortly after Il o'clock and was not seen again there until found dead this morn ing.
 A bar-keeper on Dexter Avenue said he saw Morrison after II o'clock with the morphine bottle. but did not think se- riously of it. He said Morrison asked him for 50 cents with which to buy more morphine. He refused to lend it. The bar-keeper said last night that the nor phine bottle was only half full when showed to him by Morrison.
 This was the last seen of Morrison alive so far as could be ascertained last night.
 Relatives of the deceased were notified by telegram immediately after the body was found. J. B. Geiger, a brother in law to Morrison, arrived in the city last night to take charge of the remains. which will be shipped on an early train this morning to Glenwood, Ga. the form CT home of Morrison.
 Morrison had been in Montgomery about four months and is said to have been of good family connections. His aged father lives fin Chauncey, Ga, and he has three sisters and one brother in different parts of that State.
