Literary Society.

In the college chapel of the North Ala
bama Conference college there will be an
entertainment given by the Pollock-Ste-
phens institute for the benefit of the Eu-
menean Literary society on Friday, Jan
uary %. The Eumenean Literary society
was organized the first year of the coll
lege. From that time until the beginning
of the session of 1902, the members did
jealous and efficient work without having
a hall set apart for them In the first
part of the term of 1902 the faculty set
apart the hall which the society is now
irving to furnish.
One of the best features of any college
is the wor.. done within the walls of the
society. The men that have distinguished
themselves in the world are the men that
have been noted for their hard work
while members of some good society 1t
is evident the more pleasant anyone Is
situated the better work they will do,
and that is why the boys of the Enme-
mean Literary society are striving so hard
to furnish their hall elegantly so that the
members that go out from Is walls may
have had good opportunities while there
With this view before you and knowing
that the Stephens institute is one
of the best institutes for learning in the
south. and knowing that they are well
qualified to give a good entertainment. we
ask YOU to come to the college chapel of
the North Alabama Conference college

geston of population and therefore where

Regarding the negro. DR. White says he
remains sane despite his unhygienic sur
roundngs SO long as he remains in the
country, his natural home" but fails
when, thrown upon his own physical and
mental resources, he enters the strife for
existence In northern cities. "In Georgia
there was one insane negro in 1854 of the
colored poulation in 1880, while in New
York the ratio was one to 1888, or almost
exactly the same ratio as for the white
population"
In the Industrial states of the east in
sanity is very common. In Massachusetts,
for example. there is one insane person
for every S4S of the population, while In
Virginia the proportion Is one in ol2 o.
population, in Arkansas one in 939 and
in Texas one in $50. In the United States,
emitting the southern states there Is one
insane person to each 542 of the popula-
ton, but in the southern states the pro-
portion is one to 1.277 I'm Alabama. Ar
kansas. Florida, Georgia. Kentucky,
louisiana Mississippi North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas and
Virginia we find the ratio of colored in
sane one to 1877 while for the whites in
the same territory it is one to 49, In
other parts of the United States the ratio
of colored insane as shown by the tenth
census was one in $40. while for the
whites 1t was one to $40. The ratio for
colored insane in the United States, mi

finest colors used as grounds in every
kind Of decoration and when enriched
with gold and painted. as is so often
the case with bouquets of flowers, the
effect Is very pleasing one. The japanese
or Chinese style of decoration so much
in vogue more than 100 years ago, has
been revived and the modern work shows
in how excellent a manner 1t can still be
turned out at Coa1port OF the Chinese
patterns the most famous are the old
willow" and the dragon" These owe
their first Introduction to Caughley, and
are still made al Coalport in large guam
titles
The wel-known Indian tree" in green
and pink eolorings was first made at
Coalport, and is still a great favorite. The
worm sprig," the Tourney sprig" and
other equally good patterns were copied
from the Dresden as were also the cele-
brated Dresden raised flowers, and many
very beautiful designs and patterns taken
from Sevres models.
The mandatory was founded in the
year 1880 by John Rose and within a
few years became so formidable rival
to the Caughley factory a few miles dis
tant that the latter was sold out to it.
Some OF the original buildings yet re-
main and add a picturesque note to the
present factory.
1t is unfortunate that for many years so
very many pieces of Coalport china were
either not marked at ALL or else bore
the marks of other factories. such as
Sevres and Dresden. The present proprie-
tors have however. adopted a much wiser
plan. and every piece sent out from their
works bears the following mark, a royal
crown with the words ssF,nRland'' ahove
and "Coaport" beneath 1t. and below "a.
D. 175o" and "Leadess Glaze" again un-
derneath the date.
The date 1850 is that of the establish
ment of the Caughley factory.
The two plates in the illustration are
very good examples of modern Coalport.
In one the ground is royal blue. in the
other deep crimson with touches of gold,

Animated Scene in the French Parlia-

 Paris, Dec. 1.--TodAy's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was an animated one, in which, exchanges of personali- ties an dinvectives were frequent.
 The discussions were with reference to the conduct of the Minister of Public Instruction in connection with. profes- sons secret reports on the politics of their colleagues and the Joan of Arc incident. The former brought out a protect from Premier Combes against the persistence of the opposition In bringing up questions which were set tied at the time of General Andres res gination of the war portfolio. when the Government promised to abolish aii system of official espionage.
 A motion of censure which had been introduced was eventually withdrawn and discussion of the interpolation concerning Joan of Arc proceeded.
 Minfsterialists who declared that M. Chaumie. the Minister of Public In struction, had made a weak concession to the Nationalists in removing the Professor of History at the Lycee Con- dorcet. demanded protection for Repub- lican educators. M. Chaumier replied that the professor unquestionably showed lack of tact. It was not ad- | visabIe. he added, to address boys with the same freedom as adult students. The punishment of the offender. he said. further, would remind professors of the necessity of respecting public opinion. The minister concluded with an eulogy of Joan of Arc and prom | ised to maintain the political neutral. l Ity of the schools.
 The Chamber voted confidence by a considerable majority.

 Government.
 Washington, Dec. 1.-Solicitor Gem eral Hoyt, of the Department of Jus tice. made the opening argument for the government in the case of United States Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas in the Supreme Court of the United States today. MT, Hoyt contended that this was an ordinary criminal case and that the question of the juris- diction of the court which tried MT Burton could not be successfully maintained. Replying to a question from Justice White, MT. Hoyt said MT Burton's name appeared on the Rialto company's circulars but at what time he could not say.
 Justice White replied that as the De- partment was Investigating the case the time seemed very material.
 Mir. Hoyt argued that Senator Bur ton knew just what he was doing when he accepted service with the Rialtc Company. He said 1t was questionable whether a Senator should perform such services as was required of the de. fendant by the company. but that when he accepted a fee he completed tht fatal chain"
 MT. Hoyt discussed the claim of thu defense that the charge was an "in. famous crime" instead of "misde meanor," and therefore that the de, fense should have ten instead of thre, challenges. He claimed that the con tention of the defense was not valid Justice White asked if he did no realize that the penalty carried a dis qualification of the accused, debar hin from citizenship and forever put stigma upon him. MT. Hoyt main tained that the statute made the of fense & misdemeanor.
