For the privilege of living in Dor

will have to pay an annual rental of
$4,000, which is $4,000 more than his
salary. But he will have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that in return for his
hard cash he will be occupying bet

representative in London. The Park
lane palace is owned by an English
man who is wealthy, but by no means
wealthy enough to live in it and keep
it up. Therefore, he prefers to rent
it whenever he can find somebody
wealthy enough to pay the enormus
sum his agents demand. Besides, the

STATE FAIR WORK.

AS the time draws nearer and the wo-
men of Alabama are alive to the adVan-
tages of displaying their arts - the pup
lie through the womans department OIL
the state fair, it affords much interest
to know Just how Industrious the women
of the state are. and how many resources
they have for making their pin money.
AT the last fair the exhibitors in needle
work, art and culinary work, numbered
1852, and since then they have all been
busy-and have kindled an interest in
their neighbours who will participate in
making the display of womans work a
success.
The premium list is being catalogued,
which will include prizes for all kinds
of work, so graded that each exhibitor
will have an equal showing in the compe-
tition.
MANY industries of women of Alabama
have been brought to the notice of the
public through this medium on other oc-
casions. and in the new buildings the IA
cilities for making creditable display
will be greatly increased leaving more
light and space.
Mrs. j. 2. Broyle, who has been among
the visitors for several years has been
asked to make the exhibit of preserves
and canned goods to be included in the
state exhibit. This will consist of fruits
from all parts of the state. Mrs. Broyle
will also have extensive exhibits in the
woman's department
Every progressive woman from all
sections of Alabama should lend help
ing hand toward making this depart
ment a success in every detail, and are
invited to begin their articles and send
in their addresses in order that cata-
logues may be mailed.
Mrs John B. Reid who has been super
intendent of the woman's department for
several years, will be in charge again, as
suming the duties of the office today. She
will be glad to have parties interested
call and see her or write to her.

STRANGE ANTICS
OF a Sig.e Stroke of Lightning, Which
Swept Whole House.

From the Chicago News.
An observer describes one stroke of
| lightning in Ceylon thunder storm as
follows:
81 was sitting in my bungalow office
writing, when from joint in the tele-
phone wires just above my head there
emerged vivid and exceedingly thick
flash some forty-three inches long, rep
resenting a pressure of at least 2.150,-
900 volts. 1t struck the zinc strip on
the hip of the roof connected metal
Ideally with the lightning conductor.
At the same moment there was sound
as of sharp rifle shot immensely
magnified, yell from my dog chained
outside, some smoke and a smell of ex-
ploded gunpowder (metallized ozone).
The thunder followed second or two
later make practice of 'earthing'
the telephone instruments at each end
when a thunderstorm approaches. To
this owed my life, in all probability.
as the discharge left the wires at the
point where the air and earth lines
were connected, fifteen inches OF the
near side of my head The lightning
conductor took this perfectly, and
felt absolutely nothing, not even the
usual tickling sensation.
Now, the lightning discharge. in
pouring rain, occupied all the follow
ing channels simultaneously in going
to earth: Part passed down the sirocco
chimney and burned the firing coolie
on the hand and leg; part passed over
the iron roof and killed, one coolie and
punctured three others; part must
have gone down the stay wires of the
chimney; part got on the telephone
wire from he corner Of roof sheet
and divided, one discharge going to
the bungalow, while the other got onto
the electric bell wires, breaking out
eleven pieces where staples had held
them in the woodwork
Then the fash divided again. One
division had still power to pass the
forty-three-inch flash to the roof and
the other got onto some wire netting
by means of an accidental loose end
of wire. Most of it passed to earth
through the dog and his chain, killing
the dog, and just left sufficient to give

MRS. KATE MoRRlssETTE.

The Alabama Federation Of Women's
clubs suffers distinct loss in the death
of Mrs. E. p Morrissette of Montgom-
cry, says the Mobile Register.
Almost from the beginning of the organ
ization she was with 1t in all it has un-
dertaken that was of any moment to
children, to women, or to the state. and
always she was in the front rank of its
forceful. efficient workers.
Few of the women who were at Selma,
one of the earliest meetings, will never
forget the stirring appeal made to them
by Mrs Morrssette for some action look
ing to an Improvement of the education
al conditions of Alabama, for in this APP
peal was made known to them for the
first time by a careful, panstalSing array
of facts, statistics and comparisons, set
forth in exquisitely chosen words and fig
ures of speech, voiced in tones of plead
ing sympathy the educational needs of
their native state. In enthusiasm for
advancing this work, in unremtting labor
for it, Mrs Morrissette never wavered or
tagged.
Indeed this may truthfully be said of
every good work that she endorsed and
undertook to further, for she bore the
brunt of both the business struggles and
the literary efforts of the short-lived but
much loved and praised "Womans Work,
the little magazine which for short
while served the Federation so we'll as its
own independent official organ.
The educational work, the free and
loan scholarship funds. the child labor
law, the reform school, each and every
good cause had from time to time the
help of Mrs Morrissettes forceful, grace
full ever-reaady pen, and her prompt,
magnetic and persevering personal eff
forts as well, so that there cannot be re-
called a single cause of the meritorious
ones undertaken by the federation either
alone or in cooperation, which did not
at some time gain by the mental strength
and energy of this vivid personality
whose body, apparently frail, encased a
soul of purity, fire and courage which
shone through it with a radiance like
unto that of the Holy Grail.
She was, indeed, a Sir Galahad among
women, no one of whom ever called upon
her busy as she always was, for help
in club or personal work without finding
a sympathetic prompt helper
This one, of the many, who some times
leaned upon her, and who had besides the
happiness of her personal acquaintance
and friendship, asks the mournful privi-
lege of paying this inadequate tribute to
her worth and charm In the columns ded-
icated to the service of the organization
of which she was so often the inspiration,
and always the unfailing, loving coad-
jutor.
