MEETING OF THE WHITE
 HOUSE ASSOCI IATTON

Despite the pouring rain an enthusias- tic gathering of the White House Asso-
 citation was held at the home of the Regent, Mrs. J. D. Beale. yesterday af- teruoon.
 The report of the Secretary and Treas 1 urer of the Committees appointed at the last meeting to attend to special business | were made and approved. Designs for a souvenir spoon were discussed. It was decided that the handle of the spoon should be a portrait profile of Jefferson Davis. the bowl of the spoon to contain a picture of the Jefferson Davis House with inscriptions First White House of the Confederacy."
 Among beautiful letters read approving the preservation of the first White House of the Confederacy was one from an em- inent Aiabamian. The following are ex- tracts taken from this letter, viz.: "It is not a prophecy, but a conclusion, that the time will come when that spot will be numbered with the Charter Oak as a reverential shrine for true liberty
 when beset with unjust prosecutions. It will be a sacred place to generations who will recur to its modest history as one of the brightest glories of the great race
 from whom they are descended. If Rome, Athens and Thebes had been yirtuous and patriotic enough to preserve their temples VIC would not now be dig Ging up their debris and admiring their splendor while shaming them for suf- fering their destruction
 It was also decided by the Association to send a donation to the Richmond ba- zaar.
 It was moved and passed unanimously
 that an effort be made to place the White House souvenirs on sale in New Orleans during the veterans reunion. Several valuable relics were presented
 to the Association-one to be placed fin the Robert E. Lee room of the White House museum. During the afternoon delightful refresh nlents were served by the hostess snd the business continued lover the tea cups" MEETING OF WORKING wo- MANS HOME ASSOCIATION. The Working Woman's Home Associa-

TO THE PUBLIC.
Young Mems Christian Association
 Campaign For Building Fund,


 Campaign For Building Fund. The amount necessary to raise is $35. 900. This will give Montgomery. through the | generosity of MT. Peabody. two first class. elegantly equipped institutions for | the cost of one; in other words, when cost of the Young Mems lot, building and equipment. MT. Peabody. in effect. donates the building corner of Perry and Adams Streets, which has cost him $20 GOO. | to the Young Women's Christian Asso- ciatfon.
 The directors of the Y. M. c. A. feel that there are twenty-five rich men in | Montgomery who could pay the whole sum without feeling 1t. and without | knowing it twelve months hence, so far as their financial status Is concerned. There Is more than one who could start the subscription with 5000 without be- ! ing at all hurt; half dozen who could well afford half that sum: at least thirty Chr 'stian men who can we'll afford the luxury of giving their Lord, for His l work in Montgomery among the young men snd young women. at least $i.00O | each.
 There Is certainly great need for the work. Our young men arc to a large ex- tent not being reached by the churches; the Y. M. C. A. is not substitute for the church. but a steppi1g stone to 1t. It is open seven days in the week; it at- | tracts young men who will not go to church.

 Do rot the business men of Montgom- cry need an institution which deveIops men strong in morals. mind and body IT so. will they not subscribe literally ? We must have some large subscriptions to begin with. one $500O subscription or two for $2.500 each to head the list will give the campaign the proper snap We have H, 600 pledges ready to follow.

 THE DEAF-MUTE LANGUAGE.
 In British schools. says The Goodson. (va), Gazette. 1t is compulsory to teach the two-handed alphabet, and so, in England, deaf mutes talk not only with each other, but to a great extent with people of normal capacities ,thus widen ing greatly for each the horizon of thought and feeling.
 In Indiana this alphabet is published in the backs of the public school books and the question of putting 1t in school books is being discussed in other States
 In regard to the instruction of the deaf mute in the art of spoken language. the akouphone. recently invented by Miller Reese Hutcheson of Alabama, will revo- lutionize methods. substituting for each the best-that of imitation.
 The deaf mute., with the akouphone, hearing distinctly the spoken word of his teacher. seeks to initiate 1t: and hear Ing also his own voice. gradually through practice arrives at articulation.
