ALL BIDS REJECTED
MOBILE SCHOOL BOARD SCENTS
EVIDENCE OF C0LLUsfor.
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser bureau,
Mobile, June Q.
At today's special nesting of the
Board of school Commissioners of Mo-
bile County, all the members being
present. an important matter. the spe-
cial business, came UP for action.
Pursuant to former action the Exec
utive Committee had advertised for
bids for remodeling Barton Academy,
the principle school building of Mo-
bile County. Previously bids had been
received on plans accepted by the
Board, all of which were considered
too expensive and We're promptly re-
jected.
The Executive Committee, in its re-
port this morning, gave the names and
amounts of bids, all from local con-
tractors. With one exception, there
was but a slight difference in the stated
amounts, and the Committee refused to
recommend otherwise than that none
of the bids be accepted.
The report brought out much dis
cussion and almost all the members
been collision or concert of action on
the part of the bidders as to the spec
flied amount. There was a divergence
only of from IS to $500 in the totals.
1t was shown that the lowest bidder
was 100000 in excess of the estimate
OF the architect whose plans had been
accepted, and that an entirely new and
modern structure could be erected for
the lowest amount, something like $780,
600. Finally, on motion. all the bids
were rejected. the Executive Commit
tee was authorized to ask for bids for
a high school building and to investi-
gate the cost of slight improvements
and fire escapes for the present struc-
ture.

of her fortune to the poor. She met
DR.. Gibbs while working for charity.
For several years she has never worn
a hat. The first year she discarded
headgear she won $1,000 wager by
so doing. Miss Cutting gives to the
poor the money she saves by going hat

forced several times to expose herself
to billiards..

Dry Dock is Launched.

The port of Mobile tonight boasts
the largest wooden single box dry
dock in the United States and possibly
in the known world. At o'clock this
afternoon with steam whistles on tugs,
steamers and at mills on the river and
along it's front blowing the keys were
knocked out and the great box-like
structure slid from the original rest
ing place on Blakely Island opposite
Eslava street to the edge of Mobile
river. AS the monster began to move
young Miss Ollinger dashed a bottle of
champagne against its side, and as the
white wine sprayed, cheers went up
and whistles announced the culmina-
ton of months of labor by skilled
workmen and the successful attain
ment of what Mobile has stood in need
of for many long years.
This dock Is the property of the Oh
hnger Bruce Dry Dock Company. The
dimensions are 310 feet by 49, with II
feet depth and 35 feet side walls. With
the pumps in place, the dock can be
emptied of its water in thirty minutes
The dock can handle a vessel of $500
tons dead weight or a 1000 tons gross
ship of any kind. Those who know
pronounce the workmanship perfect in
every detail. 1t is made of Alabama
wood and iron and Alabama workmea
constructed 1t.
An immense crowd of invited guests
was on board when the dock was
launched, and at the elimination of the
suspicious event, eating anG drinking
were in order. Champagne was the
principal liquid in vogue. Erwin Craig
head acted as master of ceremonies
during the speech making and made
the first talk dwelling upon the i'm
portance OF the event. Among others

OF all the lovely affairs given to Miss
Anita Gaillard, none was more enioyed
than the reception and kitchen shower
party given by Miss Mary Hybart this
evening. Ingenuity would be taxed to
the utmost to find anything more orig
inal than was Miss Hybart's conception
of a kitchen shower. The hostess.
with Miss Gaillard, Mr.. Groom and
their bridal party received the guests
who found themselves in the most fam
tastic Kitchen" ever conceived. Tho
decorations were of vegetables, with
butterbean vines used literally. along
with quantities of sunfiowers and dais-
les. The pretty furniture had all been
removed to make room for kitchen fur
nture. and mantels and tables were
covered with blue paper, the kind used
on kitchen shelves Added to this were
the presents showered on the bride,
which included everything from a
kitchen table to a nutmeg CRATER
In the dining room refreshments
were served by Misses Lola Bell Gould,
Sallie Van Antwerp. Regina Demouy
with Mrs. C. s. Shawhan at the punch
bowl The piece de resistance was the
brides cake, which was the heart of
large cabbage and occupied the place
of honor on the kitchen table The
refreshments were served on blue and
white china. carrying out the idea in
minutest detail.

THIRTY YEARS IN SENATE.
Senator Allison Il the Oldest In Con-
tiuuous Service in the Body.

Senator Allison Il the Oldest I'm Com
tinuous Service in the Body.
Senator Allison entered the senate
In 1873, and there is now no one
member of that body who has served
continuously as he has done. Stewart,
Of Nevada, was member, and John
III. Mitchell, of Oregon, took his seat
at the same time Stewart was out
twelve years and Mitchell ten years.
John Z. Jones, of Nevada, took his
seat at the same time, but closed
thirty years of service last March.
There were some interesting figures in
the senate when Allison took his seat
there for the first time From the
south there was quite an array of the
so-called carpet bag senators. Among
the well-knOwn persOnages the new
Iowa man met ON the floor thirty
years ago were Powell Clayton, now
ambassador to Mexico, and Stephen
w. Dorsey, Arkansas; John B. Cor
don, Georgia; John A. Logan and
Richard J. Oglesby, Illinois; Oliver 2.
Morton, Indiana; John ]. ingalls,, Kan
sas: Hannibal Hamlin and Lot M.
Morrill,, Maine; George S. Boutwell,,
Charles Sumner and William D..
Washburn, Massachusetts; Zach
Chandler and Thomas w. Ferry,
Michigan; Alexander Ramsey and
William Window, Minnesota; Adelbert
Ames, Mississippi; Carl Schurz, Mis-
souri,; Frederick T. Frelinghuysen,
New Jersey; Roscoe Conkling, New
York; Matt w. Ransom, North Caro-
lima; John Sherman and Allen IT,.
Thurman, Ohio; Simon Cameron,
Pennsylvania; William G. Brownlow,
Tennessee; James w. Flanagan, Tex
as; George f. Edmunds and Justin s.
Morrill, Vermont; Henry ]. Davis,
West Virginia; Matthew H. Carpenter.
Wisconsin.
1t Is quite a distinction to be the
sole survivor Of an entire member
ship of the senate. While 1t Is true
that there are two men members
now who were there thirty years ago,
Senator Allison has seen them go and
their successors take their seats and
again witnessed their return. He Is
the one man who has been a member
and witnessed complete change in
the senate, himself alone excepted
Washington Post.
