BRILLIANT CARD PARTY
 AT ELKS' HOME

Al ELhS nOmG. |. The members of the Cradle of the Con- federacy Chapter of the Daughters of the Confectionery were hostesses at a brilliant card party yesterday afternoon which they gave at the Elks' home.
 Above the entrance a Confederate flag was draped and in the hall the visitors were greeted with a scheme of decoration in which the colors of the Confederacy en- tered in beautiful effect. Over the chan delier the flag of the Cradle Chapter was hung, and over the doorways entering into the other apartments other flags were gracefully draped. while the stair way was entwined with red and white bunting. Tables for 150 guests were arr ranged in the spacious parior. where the decorations were roses and other beauti- full cut flowers.
 The game of six-hand euchre was play ed by 150 guests for three prizes. which were awarded as follows: Miss Lila Edwards won the first, which was a beau- tiful silver candelabram; Mrs. Frank Taylor won the second, a half dozen ex- quisite cut glass tumblers, and the third, very handsome hand-painted china plate, was won by Mrs. Joseph Norwood.
 The giving of such an entertainment as this by an organization. is a social innovation in Montgomery, but one quite in vogue in large cities. It was happy idea and the result yesterday aftern ,on was one of the most brilliant social af- fairs of the spring season.
 The officers of the Cradle Chapter are Mrs. J. K. Jackson, President; Mrs. Ella Brock, Vice-President; Mrs. Mary P. Watt, acting Recording ecretary; Mss Gabrella Watts, Treasurer; Miss Nellie Holt, Corresponding Secretary: Mrs. John Savage Historian; Mrs. Mary Gesner, Registrar.

BISHOP BEcKKwrTH SPEAKS
Delivers Baccalaurate Sermon to Stu
 dents of University.


 dents of University.
 University, June 1.--(Special.) )-The sew enty-second commencement of the Uni versity of Alabama began yesterday un- der the most suspicious circumstances. Every available seat in the spacious audi torium was taken and chairs and benches had to be brought in to accommodate the large throng. The music was beautifully rendered by the Episcopal choir, under the direction of Mrs. W. H. Fitts and as- sisted by various members of the other city choirs.
 After Scripture reading and prayer by Rev. &. D. McGlahon, rector of Christ s Church, the annual baccalaureate sermon
 was preached with rare force and power
 by the Rt. Rev. Charles M. Beckwith. Bishop of the Diocese of Alabama. The speaker read that portion of the
 Eth chapter of Matthew dealing with Christs arraignment before Pilate, se- lectlng from 1t Pilates famous words, What, then, shall I do with this Jesus?'' as his text. He first noted the fact that exception is seldom taken to the legal
 status of the trial of our Lord. explaining 1t in the light of Pilates's individuality. It was Pilates individual action that the Christian world could not change. He had done outrage so often to the Jews that he was wiling to do their will at this time and to give them Barabbas despite his acknoWledged guilt. Just as Pilates s question was an individual one whose an. swer he could not forestall will the same inevitable question come up to each oi as for our solution.
 The Bishop pleaded with the young men before him to chose the true, the pure and the noble. College life Is but period in which to manufacture character. Ii Pilates first years had been filled with earnest. careful training he would mol have made that one great mistake. The formation of character he characterized
 as the building stone by stone in the great workshop of the world-both in the | morning and evening hour. He besought | the young men to remember that the world would expect more of them on ac- count of their college training. and that | they were honor bound to strive to jus. | tify its anticipations. The sermon was ended in a most pleasing manner by these | words: Be thou faithful unto the end | and will give you a crown"
 | Bishop Beckwlth is an attractive speak.
 er and during the whole time received tht closest attention. While unusually brtei | the sermon is one that will be long re
 membered not only for its practical value but for its pure diction and graceful de | livery.

DEATH OF COL. J. H. sHEFFEY
He Was a We'll Known Lawyer of
 Huntsville.


 Huntsville. June Private dispatches received last night from Mem phis announced the death of Col. John H. Sheffey of this city, who had recently gone to Memphis for medical treatment.
 Colonel Sheffey was one of the best known citizen of Northern Alabama and for several years has been a member of the law firm of Humes, Sheffey and Speake. He was also prominently identi- fled with military affairs, being for sev- eral years captain of the Huntsville Ri fies. later a major of the 3rd Alabama Regiment and Lieutenant Colonel of the 3rd Alabama during the war with Spain Colonel Sheffey was about 45 years old He was a bachelor.
 Reports from over the Tennessee Val ley assert that with continued favorable weather the cotton crop in this section should be fully up to the average by the ppiddIe of June. Planting averaged about ten days late and immediately afterwards dry season ensued and further retard- ed the progress of the crop. That dry season was broken, however, by splen- did rains before the seeds were damaged and the plant is now progressing favor ably. The use of fertilizers has been very general on the uplands and the prepara- ton of land has been better than for several seasons. The seed used in plant ing was average in quality and germina- ton was rapid. The labor supply is less than in past seasons, hundreds of negroes having been taken by labor agents to the delta country and to the West. However, in this locality the labor is sufficient for all purposes, the cotton acreage being slightly reduced Splendid rains fell Fri day and Saturday and if there is no more water for awhile, all will be well with cotton in this valley.
 Judge Kyle has adjourned the civil term of Circuit Court. which was one O. the busiest held here in the past year or more. Eighty-five cases were dispos- ed of, about one-third of the number on the dockets.
 The indications are that the committees from the several churches will succeed in raising enough money to equip a first class hall for the Young Mems Christian Association. There is great deal of public interest In the movement and the Association will probably be organized this week.
