DR. OWEN RETURNS.
Speaks With EnthusIasna of Atlanta
 Meeting of Library DeOpIe.

Speaks With EnthusIasm of Atlanta
 Meeting of Library DeOple.
 After attending the profitable Inter- state conference of Southern Libraries, December and 9, Dr. Thomas M. Owen, Director of the State Department of Archives and History, has returned from Atlanta.
 Dr. Owen reports that there were other Alabamians at the Conference, among whom were Miss Laura EImore, librarian, and Miss Hattie c. BibD, as- sistant librarian of the Montgomery Carnegie Library; J. R. Rutland, libra rian. Alabama Polytechnic Institute of Auburn, and Miss Louise H. Thompson. librarian, Ensley Carnegie Library.
 Or. owen said yesterday the confer ence was enthusiastic and very helpful to those present. 4The attendance was very good" said Dr. Owen. We had librarians and library workers present from nine States. There was more library spirit than I have seen in a similar, gathering. The reports were good from all sections of the South. It was shown that there was an increased interest in free public libraries, in the strengthening of college libraries. and in the rural school library movement./
 We adopted resolutions favoriug the meeting of the American Library As- sociation in Asheville, N. C., in 1907. It is hoped that the Executive Council of that body will favorably consider our wishes, for such meeting will do much to hasten the full growth of library work in the South. where stimulating help is so much needed.
 Miss Anne Wallace. librarian of the Carnegie Library. Atlanta, and also Secretary of the Georgia Library As sociation, made our meeting there pos sible Her praise was on every tongue She is easily the most &C., compIished librarian in the South. and she is the only member of the EXecu- tive Council of the American Library Association from the South. She Is do- ing wonderful work, not only in the library of which she is the head, but she is the director of the Southern Library School, atlanta. the first of the kind in this part of the country"
 Dr. Owen said that the conference was also attended by Miss Lutie stearns of the wisconsin Free Library Commission, and Miss Nina Brown of the American Library Association Pub fishing Board, Boston. She addressed the meeting on some very valuable topics.

SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
MAYOR TEAGUE APPROVES RE- GENTRY ADOPTED ORDINANCE.
Saloons Will he Divorced From Res- taurants and Screens VIII be Re-
 moved From Bar Counters e. On the Sabbath.

Mayor W. M. Teague yesterday att tached his official signature of ap- proval to the ordinance commonly known as the Teague ordinance which was adopted by the City Council on the night Of Monday. December 9th.
 The ordinance divorces all saloons from restaurants and requires all sa- looms to have their screens removed on Sunday so that a full view of the bar may be had from the outside. The ordinance makes if unlawful for any one except the proprietor, Af a saloon or d clerk to enter the saloon on Sun day. The measure is identical with the ordinance originally introduced in the old council by Mir. Teague when he was an alderman. with the excep- tion that chartered clubs are exempt ed from closing their bars on Sunday.
 The Original Teague ordinance was adopted by the old City Cornell sew eral months ago but did not become q law owing to the fact that c. P. Me- Intyre. who was then the acting May or, vetoed the measure. While Mir, Teague was in favor of the present ordinance, still he was opposed to the exemption of clubs from the operation of the law, and. on this account, there was much speculation as to what ac- ton the mayor would take.
 The ordinance beComes effective on January 1. 1908.

Chinese at west Poins.

Two Chinese cadets. Tlng Chiaohen and Ting Hsing-wen, are daing well at their lack of thorough knowledge of English~~esnectally the technical terms used in mathematics and other branches-v-and that accounts for their low standing in purely English studies. But thair conduct has been excellent. They are diiigents in their studies and in all other matters their conduct is admirable. They have the respect and friendship of both officers and cadets.

 There Is, no doubt of it this IS the day of the old maid.
 I beg your pardon. Old maid no ions- CT. Bachelor. girl!
 And 1t Is her day for two reasons. One is, am sorry to say, that men are not marrying as early and as often as formerly. The other reason Is to pc found in the fact that Mademoiseile her self is more particular in the choice or husband than her mother and her grandmother were. The modern woman is, above every thing. independent. She wants her home. her interests and her allowance. The mere fact of becoming a married woman, with the privilege of putting Mrs" before her lame, won't compen- sate her for the loss of any one Of these.
 The day is past when a woman will make allowances" for her husbands weaknesses on the ground that he is man land men are different" She eyes man coldly and critically. and the man, feeling that she is likely to "see through him." becomes wary.
 Besides the modern young man is afraid of matrimony because he knows very we'll that the up to date girl wants every comfort she has been used to hay ing at 'hon1e-and few more. There is no such thing as love in a cottage and making her own clothes when by
