REGULARITY ADMITTED
wELLMAN'S CALL WILL BE AL
 LOWED TO STAND.
Administration Republicans are Con- fident of Their Ability to Control and Lily Whites Appear to
 Be Not Alarmed.

Birmingham, Jan. 96.-(Special)-I is learned today that the administration leaders among the Republicans of Ala bama have about decided not to inter fere with the convention called for May 10, by Chairman w. I. Wellman, though the name of the Secretary of the comms l. tee was not on the call.
 When the Executive Committee met in Birmingham several months ago and adopted resolutions allowing the chairman to call the State Convention when Ee deemed it advisable, no mention was made that the Secretary should be interested. The call was issued regularly, so it is stated. and the decision of the administra- ton leaders not to try to have another convention in the place of the one called Is an admission of this. However, 1t IS stated that there will be a big fight at the convention which has been called by MT. Mellman.
 The administration leaders state that they will control the convention without doubt and that the delegates chosen to the National Convention will be instructed for President Roosevelt. On the other hand, Lily White Republicans assert that the delegation will go uninstructed or with instructions for some one other than President Roosevelt It is hoped by the Lily White Republicans that by May 10 some word will have been received from Senator Nj. A. Hanna or his friends.

be mistaken for denirns. The most prized linens are fine, lacelike fabrics, bordered and figured in delicate color combinations. A typical linen in pale blue and white has been made up with a full. plain un- derskirt and a tunic overdress, open in front and edged with guipure. The bodice has a collar and yoke of embroidered linen. and Is partly hidden under stole of guipure fringed with passementerie tassels.
 Perhaps the prettiest of the new ma- terials are nets printed in organdie and Marie Antoinette patterns. A delightful model dress of white net sprigged with violets has a pointed .decolletage framed in fichu f1ounces; its skirt is trimmed with flounces and outings.
 The 1904 spring shirtwaist suits. as thus far shown, are almost too elaborate for their name. They have the long shoul- der lines demanded by fashion, and in many cases are put together with fagot- ings and bands of cross-stitched embroi- deries.

HEBRON STREET SCHOOL
NO MOVE TO REBUILD THE
 STRUCTURE.
Committee is Waiting Until Supreme Court Acts on Greater Mcntgom- cry Law-Messages from
 Mayor Carr.

Two months and seven days have pass ed since the Heron Street School build- ing was destroyed by fire on November 19, and not one single move has been made to rebuild.
 Three hundred and eighty-five Mont gomery pupils were thrown into tempor- ary quarters, but Mayor Carr and AL dernen of the city gave assurance that the work of rebuilding the school house would begin as soon as the insurance was adjusted. Tn fact, Mayor Carr sent a message to the Council early after the fire in which he said the structure must be rebuilt at once. Since that time tire Mayor has sent a second message to the Council urging that work begin on the building.
 Nearly six weeks ago the city govern ment collected Sl3145.92 insurance on the burned building. and $1,i00 insurance on | the furniture.
 Mayor Carr seen by a representative of The Advertiser called attention to the fact that he had impressed upon the Council the importance of rebuilding the school. He intimated that the early flu ture would bring about developments
 Alderman GaSton Gunter, chairman of l the School Committee, said that it would be impossible to complete the Heron Street School building for occupancy during the present scholastic year. As the city hoped, he said. to begin the construction of school buildings in the annexed territory as soon as Supreme Court decision was rendered on the Greater Montgomery act, his committee thought 1t would be desirable to include l the Heron Street School building in the bids for construction. There would be ample time. he said. to complete the work on the Heron Street School build ing before the opening of the schools in the autumn.
 Meanwhile the 3s5 pupils of the Heron Street School are pursuing their work at the old Billing residence on Clayton | street and at Hammer Hall.

Pointed Waists, Panniers and High Heels to Revive Marie
 Antintte Figure.

Ellen Osborn. Special Correspondence or The Chicago Record-Herald.
 New York, Jan. 21.-We are in the mid dle of fashions silly season. when dress makers, actresses and other style arpi- tens amuse themselves with predictions of extraordinary change. In the name of Marie Antoinette new figure is prom ised, with pointed waist, panniers ana high heels. New York's streets are 10 be the scene of perpetual costume car nival However these radical forecasts may result, certain trouSseau dresses now under construction furnish straWs that show which way blows fashions Wino. In A fortnight Miss Josephine w. DreX" eI will become Mrs John Duncan Elm met Her outfit, which Is probably the largest and most elaborate of the win ter, contains no paniered costumes put 1t does include disappointed waists and full skirts, the circumference of which would have been incredible year ago. It contains also a variety of fichu effects and some charming examples of the new , Marie Antoinette sleeve. whose extreme fullness comes a few inches below the shoulder.
 Described by Creator.
 A beautiful evening dress in Miss Drex- els favorite pink and white Is described by it's creator. a prominent New Aork dressmaker Its material is a soft pink taffeta, made with the long. straight full skirt, which was one of the two skirt fashions characteristic of the Louis Seize 1 period. At the waist the gathers are set so close as to call for surprising amount of material. At the bottom or 1he skirt, reaching up in long sprays ar" arranged flower embroideries in slI- Vrl. The bodice is tight-fitting and comes down in front in a long point. The sleeves consist of" short taffeta puffs edged with lace Aounces that just cover the elbow A beautiful feature of this dress ks the arrangement of the decolletage. Around the opening Is placed rich silver lace embroidered with pink. Inside the open ing comes a drapery of white tulle and pearls, merging into the flesh tints or the skin. This artistic transition from one material aud one color to another IS one of our Lest borrowings from Ma Tie .Antoinette \ costumes.

The trestle over one part of Cane Crecx, Jefferson County, on the North Alabama Railroad, the new extension in the coal fields of Alabama of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, is now completed and in operation It Is the highest wooden trestle in the South, measuring 1l5.6 feet high. There are six sections to the tres tie Tn height. There are more than fifty bents to the trestle and a test already made shows II to be one of the most suIj- stantial trestles in the State. The road is to be used almost entirely for handling coal. mines along the road being operated cheaper than elsewhere in the State, be- ing drift mines altogether.

THE OCCIDENTAL IDEA
Employed to Block the Open Door to
 Chinatown Last Night.

The occidental idea is to put every thing possible on a commercial basis. Music, poetry and art may be talked about as passions, but when one gets right well acquainted with the musi- elan. the poet or the artist. he finds out that these aesthetic people are just as slow to take bad money as anybody else. and that they all have to rub against the butcher, the baker and candIestick maker at some turn in the road. It makes no, difference whether he be Anglo Saxon or Laltin just so he be occidental, it's a cases of turning things to financial account, and the shrewdest wins. It's only in the orient that ideals and immemorial customs are sacred.
 That's the reason that China Dick, the mayor of Chinatown, was beside himself last night and wanted a whole flock of policemen to arrest a Mexican who was commerci alizing the Chinese new year celebration and turning Chi nese national pride into silver quarters with which to line his pockets.
 If there is any time that a Chinaman is at peace with all the world and proud of his nationality it is during the new year tGlepTdtlOu. Wnlle lne pow OeI- burns and the incense of the punk stick ascends heavenward. His doors are open to visitors, who are invited to make themselves at home. Last night there was a goodly number of visitors. tourists and others. going through Chi natown like a war telegram through the stockmarket. A Mexican of more than ordinary business capacity looked on in amazement. It occurred to him that here was the biggest show of the season and it was being pulled of without any box office receipts. Imme- diately he appointed himself business manager, and planted himself at the door of a Chinese store, hat in hand. Of every visitor that entered he de- manded a donation. Many thought he was an employe of the Chinese and that they were trying to take up enough to partly pay expenses for the show. so they save up liberally. Others. who have lived here longer. gave him
 the clammy stare and passed on in. About the time the Mexican had ac- cumulated four or five dollars gate re- ceipts the matter was reported to May or Dick. He flew into passion and the Mexican flew into the darkness.

POSTAGE STAMP REFORM.

There are 74.169 postmasters in the United States. and to every one Of them a bill introduced in the house of representatives by the Hon. Ezekiel Samuel Candler Jr. of Corinth. Miss, is of the deepest personal interest. MT. Candler would have the burden of lick ing postage stamps removed from the lips of the letter writers and put in the hands of the postmasters. He propos- es that whenever the necessary amount of money to pay the postage on a let ter is deposited in a lawful mailing place with the letter, it shall be the duty of the postmaster receiving it to affix the stamps to the envelope and credit the cash to the United States government.
 When such a law is passed TO one will stamp his letters. Every citizen de- tests that incident of correspondence by

THE KYRENE MELONS
The Association Signs Contract For
 Handling the Stock.

r. \. Taylor. representing E. F. Nichols & Co, of ChiCego, has been in the valley for two days past MT. Tay- Tor came here for the purpose of sign ing contracts with the Kyrene Melon Growers a associatio A meeting of the association was held al Hansens ranch day before yesterday, at which the con tracts were signed. Or rather, there was only one contract, and that was with the association
 MT. Taylor believes that the outlook of the Kyrene association is most prom islng. It has many advantages of the growers at Rocky Ford. The principal one is that the Kyrene growers can get their melons on the market at heast thirty days before those of Rocky Ford. and at the time of year when they will be more highly appreciated. He thinks that they will bring sl.5O more a crate than the famous Colorado melons.
 Ibis estimated that there can be rais- c6 to the acre from 25O to 800 crates under the conditions which prevail at Kyrene- The irrigation system is bet fer since the water is furnished by pumps. There can be at no time 9 fall ure of the water supply.
 IF 4tlllE or LLt -dll tlAtE litlDiiSs MT TaylO- says. is already pretty we'll established. but his house is constantly advertising them, SO that it is already in receipt of inquiries from dealers in Toronto and Montreal as we'll as all parts CT the cast. One result of the operations in thls valley this year, he thinks. will be to increase the demand for melons throughout the east, and consequently the demand for acreage in this valley.
 Mir. Hansen says that nothing more fortunate fo- him ever happened than the failure of the beet sugar company for which he had arranged to plant :t section in sugar beets. He sees now how he can make several dollars !ais- ing melons to one that he could clear raising sugar beets. On this subject NIT. Taylor said that wherever melons have been raised alongside sugar beets even the farmers engaged in raising beets have been benefited.
 In Rocky Ford. for instance. which is e big sugar district as well as b 2 melon district. the factories have been compelled 10 increase the price of heets dollar a ton to keep farmers from abaEdOning the raising of them for that

SCHOOL BONDS FAILED
They Lost By l04 On a Very Light
 Vote.

The proposed bond issue of S20,O00 by the Union high school district failed yesterday by 104 votes. There were cast for the bonds 3S0 votes and against them 345. The election did not arouse a great deal of interest among those who were supposed to be in favor of the bonds and who would have voted for them if they had at tended the election. But those op- posed to the issue were out to a man andf woman. The greatest opposi- ton came from the country. The town would have been overwhelming ly in favor of the bonds, but so much of the town didn't vote.
 The cause of the opposition of the country is not very well understood for it has about as much interest in the high school as the town. It is surmised that it was frightened by the discussion of the election following the discovery that the school had suddenly found itself without funds.
 So far as the town is concerned the lack of interest taken in the election is shown in the fact that there were only 725 votes cast whereas the ordi- nary school board election calls out a vote of frCm 1000 to 1,2O0.
 MT. Emory Rays, one of the mem bers of the board was asked last night what he thought would be done now. He replied that it was too early to say. The school is entirely without funds except such as may have been created by the payment of back taxes, but he said he was not informed how much, if any, had been paid. He did not think, though. that the people of the district would permit the school to close before the end of the school year. No arrangement, however, can be made for the improvements that the board had contemplated in the way of enlarging the building. It is prob able that another election will be called. The friends of the bonds are sure that a bond issue would carry the next time. now that the people who are really interested in the school see in what a position it has been left by the election of yesterday.
