M'DOUGAL HAWKS
 REPLIES TO MURPHY
SAYS STATEMENT IN REGARD TO LEASE OF PIER TO STEAMSHIP COMPANY IS MADE OUT OF WHOLE cLoTH.s
 

New York. July 19-McDougal Hawks commissioner of docks and ferries, made public today a statement answering charges made by c. c. Murphy. leader of Tammany Hall and former treasurer of the dock board under the Van wycz ad- mlnistration.
 Concerning Mir. Murphys ailusion to the lease, by the present administration of pier to the Central Hudson Steamboat company. referred to by MT. Murphy as Governor odelrs company" MT. Hawkes. says that the city made an excellent bar gain; that the lease was approved by the sinking fund commission and the comp troler's office, and that MT. Murphys figured loss to the city of $4s0000 is made out of whole cloth.
 "The whole story of Governor Odelrs relation to this matter" he adds. lis pure imagination. and an attempt to make political capital, and was thoroughly ex- ploded after most careful examination by the members of the sinking fund" He adds that the city made a very good bar gain, shown by the fact that the rental which was paid for the pier Is at the rate of four cents per square foot more than the city receives per square foot for the adjoining pier

 Hsh College Annual.

TT HE Fern and Violet" the college
 l annual, issued by the students of the Central college at Tuscaloosa, has been received. It is attractively bound In green, the violet and gold ornamentation being very artistic.
 The annual is dedicated ITO our loved and honored president. Dr. B. r. Giles. U It is elaborately illustrated and Is the handsomest annual yet published by the ambitious students of the Central college
 The poems, the class prophecies the original sketches are clever and reflect much credit upon the editors. A depart ment of journalism Is not usually included in the college circulation, but the "an- nuar' published by the students of 'OS shows that 1t was an oversight on the part of the catalogue makers. In view of the Journalistic success of the young women, the suggestion seems timely that jour nalistlc department should. in honor to them, be made regular feature in the college curriculum.
 The editors may rest assured that their efforts have not been in vain and even the most casual reader of the Fern and Violet" will come to the conclusion that the editors are desirous of leading to more intimate acquaintance with the life of student at the Central.

Mrs. Harriet Lame Johnston.

Few American women have been so noted for beauty, grace and tact as Har- riet Lane, mistress of the White House under Buchanan and later destined to life full of tragedy and sorrow. Dolly Madison, Miss Lane and Mrs. Cleveland will be remembered in this country as long as the annals of brilliant and good women are read. Mrs Johnston, who was Miss Lane has just passed away at the age of 10 and in her day was nota- ble figure in the social life of Washing ton, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 At a time when politics was at fever heat, when northern men were speak ing in the most bitter terms of the Presi- dent, clubbing him at-Can-I-Do ?' there was nothing but praise for the lovely woman who presided over his household.
 It is an interesting fact that as rule the women of the White House have long outlived their husbands. Mrs. Tyler died recently Mrs. Lincoln long survived her martyred husband. Mrs. Grant died only a few months ago. Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Mckinley survive, but the only for mer mistress not widow is Mrs Cleve- land, who still has youth and charm that we trust will endure for many. long year.
 Some of our women friends are very much of the opinion that their sex plays too small part in the government of the nation, and they are working to secure what they term their rights. It is true that except in a few states they do not vote, but she is blind who does not understand how compelling is the influence of woman in this country. in the home, in society, and in politics. And with all their undoubted influence and power they have the added advantage that they are not compelled to undergo that trying out in the maelstrom of pol itics that is often painful to the best of | men.
