MARYE CHOSEN AS
STATION ARCHITECT
WOMAN'S HOTEL TO BE
OPENED OCTOBER

Yopng women's Christian association
Tuesday.
One of the members Of the board of the
Young women's Christian association
said yesterday:
This home will fill long felt need
in Birmingham. We have been endeavor-
ing for two years to get such an institu-
ton and now 1t looks as If our efforts
are to be rewarded.
1--WE expect the hotel to be practically
self-sustaining. as the expenses will be
reduced to a minimum: It will enable us
to give home to about fifty working wo-
men who desire to live as cheaply and
as comfortably as possible, and at the
same time under the most pleasant of
conditions.
Mrs. Merriweather has had considerable
experience in matters of this kind and
will, I am sure, make an excellent man.
ager for the hotel. We have altered the
old Anderson residence to suit our pur-
poes and | do not believe that there is
a place in the city which is better adapt
ed to such uses. 1t is very comfortable
and is close to the city.
I'VE want to make the girls feel that
they are at home and that all the re-
straints and influences of home life are
thrown around them.''

QUESTION RIGHT
TO CLOSE STREETS
CITY WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION
AGAINST THE FRISCO SYSTEM
REGARDING SIXTEENTH AND
SEVENTEENTH STREETS.

The right of the st. Louis and San
Francisco Railroad company to close pub
lie thoroughfares of Birmingham, even
by action of the legislature, Is to be
tested in the courts. City Attorney Ed d.
Smith is at present preparing a petition.
which he will file in one of the county
courts against the railroad company, al
leging that 1t has unconstitutionally
closed Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets
from Avenue A to Powell avenue. The
municipality will contend that the act of
the legislature granting permission to the
company to close the streets is uncon-
stitutional inasmuch as the proper notice
was never given.
The legal fight promises to be warm, as
1t is thought that the railroad will not
surrender possession unless the court
of last resort should so decide. 1t has
been announced that If the decision in the
county court should be against the mu-
nicipal corporation the case will be APP
pealed to the supreme court.

IS his Sin that it was
Cleveland delegation" and he was
posing as leader of the Cleveland
forces in Georgia, but Clark How
ell beat him in that delegation
about two to one.
That was the first defeat at Mr..
Howell's hands. The second came
when Mr.. Smith set out to beat
Speaker Crisp for the senatorship.
Clark Howell was the recognized
leader of the Crisp campaign at
that time. Smith and Crisp en-
gagged in a series of joint debates
upon the money question, the for
mer then being member of Cleve-
lands cabinet. Back of this joint
debate was the seeretary'S convic-
ton that he could win the senator
ship: but Crisp swept the deck TO
such an extent that his adversary
did not even announce.
1t happens that Mr.. Howell was
the stumbling block in the way of
his success in the only efforts he
has ever made to secure preferment
at the hands of the people of Geor-
gia. and he has never forgiven Mr..
Howell for it. His bitterness to-
ward Howell permeated the Jour
nal during his ownership of the
property, and seems to have been
one of the inheritances of the pres
ent ownership.
Hence the efforts being made by
the Journal to get out somebody
who, in the opinion of its editor,
can have some hope of making q
strong race against Mr.. Howell.
The first step in the game was
to get out as many local candidates
as possible. For this purpose they
have iollied Brown. and Jim Smith
and Dick Russell. and John Mad
dox and even Estill. Some of the
others were too wary, but Mr.
Brown took the bait, only to fine
himself repudiated when it was
| found he could not muster strength
| Now these elements are talking O.
! Mr.. Smith as the one man who car
hope for success.
| 1t is said Mr.. Smiths purpose is
to run against Hon. Steve Clay fol
the senate-he makes no secret o.
this. He has about persuaded
himself that the best way to affair
his ambition is to first have him
self elected governor, then use tbt
| governOrship as means toward The
accomplishment of Mr.. Clay's de
feat. He has, therefore, the double
incentive of desire to get even will
Hon. Clark Howell and of beating
Mr.. Clay for the senatorship tt
which he, Smith, aspires. It's al
interesting situation.
OF greatest immediate signif
canoe, hOwey.'r, is the practica
acknowledgement, on the part o
the people who brought him out
that Mr.. Browns candidacy ha
collapsed. Mr.. Brown himsel
may not acknowledge this, but tn,
men who have been his chief spon
sors-whO brought his candidac,
into the world and have wet-nurset
lit most assiduously-have givel
public announcement of its prema
ture collapse.

 Since holding her present office Miss Reel has bent her energies es- pecially toward the industrial devel- opment of young Indians. Give them trade and. above all, the discipline of steady work and they will not be apt to lapse into barbarian again, she argues Particularly desirous is Su- perintendent Reel to preserve the orig inal Indian industries. such as bas- ketry, bead work and the decoration of leather and bark. Some of the most exquisite industrial art work ever pro duced in America has been made by Indian women who never saw an em- 1 broidery needle or frame. It is these unique Indian industrial arts, the arts of peace. that Miss Rell is endeavoring to preserve among the nations wards at the same time they are acquiring the white mans education.
 Tn New York city the position of district superintendent has a salary of from $5,0O0 to $6,000 attached to it. In that politically governed city women teachers have little chance to secure the best paid places in the pub lie schools and as yet only one has re- ceived an appointment as district su- perintendent. That one. however. Miss Julia Richman, shows all the world what a woman superintendent can ac- | complish in one of the pooreSt. wors

 the rapid advancement of scholarly women to the higher places in the educators profession is cheering sign. Poets, seers and women some times discern truer than lawyers and war generals.
 Encouraging indeed to those who believe in the era of peace 1t is to find Miss Estelle Reel. the eminent organizer in school affairs, for third term appointed national superinten- dent of Indian educauon. She was originally President McKinley's ap- pointee. in 1898. Miss Reel is herself a noble product of American public schools, in which she began her career by becoming a teacher. She migrated early to Wyoming. where she was soon made county school superintendent because of her splendid organizing faculty as well as her educational qualifications She possessed also the invaluable quality of getting on har- moniousIy with people. Again she was dauntless and untiring. After serving for awhile as head executive of a county school system she was made state educational superintendent of Wyoming Then it became neces- sary for her to make long Journeys by wagon. on horseback and often afoot, through all kinds of weather many a time through the unbroken wilderness She slept now in wagon now in an Indian tent and again rolled in blankets upon the ground itself' but
