The Womau's Club.

At the regular sem-monthly meeting yesterday afternoon the subject for dis cussion was: "The Church and Saloon in Contrast-the Influence They Exert in the Community for Good or Evil"
 Rev. Dr. J. ". Stagg, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, led in the dis cussion and in his usual wise and elo- quent manner told what the church might do in stamping out the liquor traffic. His address was much appreciated by the large audience
 Chief of Police Weir with plenty of facts and figures, showed that the saloon is either directly or indirectly responsible for most of the crimes committed by our citizens. He is in a position to know whereof he affirms and ought to have the hearty support of every good citizen. Miss Elizabeth Taylor, deaconess of the First Methodist church. told in her own charming way how the homes of the peo- pie are threatened by the presence of the open saloon. She has devoted her life to work among parents and children, and deserves encouragement.
 MT. J. P. Jackson, secretary of the Y. M. c. A. plead earnestly for the young men of our city. He sees in the saloon and it's auxiliaries much hazard to the young men, and invokes the aid of the church in preserving their morals and business prospects
 The club is having unprecedented pros- perity. More than thirty new members have been added in the past six weeks. Much credit is due the capable and en- thusiastic president, Mrs. Charles Samuel Simmons.
 At the meeting yesterday a letter was read from Mrs. George C. Ball of Atlanta. corresponding member of the club.

Birmingham Children to
 Appear in "NisfIefOe Rough. "

As a fitting close to the weeks work in the fair for the benefit of the Hillman hospital, on Friday evening December 12, the children will hold the boards and con tribute their share towards swelling the receipts for the work in the shape of an entertainment to be given at the armory in the city hall closely following the "Bachelor's Reveries'' and the other en- tertainments to take place there earlier in the week. Interspersed with concert selections by a large and fine orchestra, the children, for sweet charity's. sake, will present a number of very carefully chosen and well prepared acts, dances, etc, the full programme of which will be given in these columns early next week.
 The cast of characters for the old baro- nial Christmas drama of "The Mistletoe Rough" will be as follows:
 Lowell. ..... ... ........ Herbert Kenney Lovell's bride..... ..... Rachel London Baron William Catehings Baroness. ..... .....I...........M May Fox Lords and Ladies-Mary Parke London Mary Kinney, Dolly Boardman, Bland Tomlinson, Frances Coughlan, Selma Rountree, Margaret Gage, Margaret Jem- lson, Elizabeth Jordan, William Fix, Ed ward Norton, Asa Rountree, Margaret Chenoweth, May Harris.
 Wltn pfdcucally the same cast or cnar- acters there will also be presented that best of Eugene Fields poems of child hood "Wynken, Bynken and Nod" with the DeKoven musical setting. Quite a number also of speclalties are down on the programme from children of already well-known and recognized talent here in these specialties including highland fling by Miss McCrossin, assisted by her brother: cake walk by Miss Ame- lia Sewall, etc. the full programme of which will appear early next week. The entertainment is in the capable hands of Mrs. George Huntington Clark, assisted museally by Miss Plosser.
 It used to be said of Mrs. Clark in her old home that every child in Mobile knew and loved her. and so like a modern Pied Piper of Hamln. children everywhere seem always ready to put forth their most earnest efforts when hers is the guiding hand. A chldrens entertainment for the great hospital cause should ap- peal closely to everybody and should crowd the big armory to it's doors next F riday evening.

From the New York Sun.
 This is from a correspondent in Spring field, upon the Connecticut river.
 'To the Editor of the Sun--Sir: Could such men as the Hon. John Hay, our sec retary of state. and the Hon. Myron Her rick, the governor-elect of Ohio, be im- proved upon as candidates respectively for nomination for President and Vice President in 1904?

 The qualification of the Hon. Myron T. Herrick for the executive responsibility will be better known after he has become governor.
 The qualification of the Hon.

With a part of this money a house and lot was bought at the corner of Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street, in 1898. and occupied as a hospital. The following year the great need of money necessitat- ed an appeal to the mayor and aldermen, and the city made a monthly appropria- tion of $100, which they are still giving.
 In 1902, the Fourth avenue lot proving wise investment, sold at a good price, and the Hilman hospital of today began to be something more than a dream. In three months after the Fourth avenue lot was sold ground was broken for the handsome $67,000 hospital, the best equip ped and most complete probably of all hospitals in the south.

American Committee Wants
 Miss Lake 10 Go 10 China.

It will be a matter of great regret among many young women in Brming- ham to know that Miss Lake. the sec retary of the Young Woslens Christian association, is considering an offer to go to China.
 At the recent meeting of the Gulf States conference, in Atlanta, she was asked to accept the secretaryship in Hong Kong, and in the event of her doing so she will leave Birmingham in the early spring.
 When asked in regard to her decision, Miss Lake said that she had several weeks in which to decide the matter, and

Birmingham Society
 On T0rChIighf Parade.

Birmingham Society on Torchljght Parade" the comic opera to be presented at the Jefferson theatre on the night of December IA, under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, promises to be the most elaborate amateur production that has ever appeared on a local stage
 The costumes, music, songs and dances, the introduction of the childrens ballet, all athe general features of the opera are quick with color, gayety and grace.
 The outline of the little play in rough spetch is briefly told The curtain rises upon cafe-the Hilman cafe-which is deserted by all save the walters; the quiet before the storm of the theatre crowd at night. Following the custom of Brother William Shakespeare, song and speech are granted to even the walters, which, though hardly of Shakesperean calibre, serve yet some popular and spicy dishes in the comic opera style. "rd Like to Be the Proprietor Man" Is the suggestive title of the leading song, preparing the way for the dancing entrance of the theatre party. The host of the evening then announces that famous actress. his cousin and a star. will be their guest of honor, and proceeds to give certain song directly, descriptive, "She Reads the New York Papers Every Day." assisted by song and dance of the chorus.
 Just as everyone is on the qui vive, the supposed actress arrives-not the star but her little Dutch maid-who Is as over come as Christopher Sly at the ovation she receives and the recognition of her unknown cousin. The hit of the play Is the acting and the fascinating work of this little Dutch maid But she retires to a lesser sphere when the star comes upon the scene and with enchanting art takes possession of her own.
 Then follow in rapid succession the songs, drills dances and quaint little side plays that render the opera charming and interesting entertainment.
 Every detail of management. scenery, costumes, training of the chorus, ballet and songs-everything-is under the di- rection of that accomplished and expe- renced manager and teacher. Prof. J. c. Weissner. whose work in Birmingham Is already so well known and so highly ap- proved that he needs no further intro- duction. What he does quite speaks for itself.
 The part of 'the actress" of the cafe scene is taken by Miss Ethel Black, whose ability is of no amateur order The Dutch maid" is acted by little Miss Johnnie Baton of Woodlawn. Her work is surprisingly artistic. Her voice is good, she has inmitable grace of gesture and movement and a personality at once so fresh. joyous, childlike and whole
