prominent place h the social and Eta
cial life of the national capital. 1t was
built by Col. John Tayloe in the latter
part Of the eighteenth century, upon
the advice of no less q person than
George Washington.
This did house is octagonal in shape
and was occupied by President Madi-
son after the British burned the white
house in 1914. The treaty of Client,
which closed second war with
England, was signed by President
Madison in the circular room in this
house, which is now used by the Sec
rotary Of the American Institute OF
Architects as an Office. The lot is tri-
angular in form and fenced in by O
high brick wall.
Col. John Tayloe was an immensely
wealthy man for his period. At the
age of 20 it is said he had an income
of nearly $50, 900 a year. When he
built the Octagon house his income
had increased to $4,000 a year. His
establishment was known throughout
the country for it's entertainments and
up to the time of his death in 1928 he
had entertained within the hospitable
doors at his mansion all the noted men
of that period, among whom might be
named Jefferson, Madison, Monroe John
Quincy Adams, Decatur, Porter, La
fayette, Steuben, Webster, Clay, Cal
hOun, and a long list of lesser lights.

AT the First Cumberland Presbyterian

was comfortably filled and the audience
showed by applause that the lecture was
fully enjoyed
M. l.. McAlister, president of the local
union, introduced Mr.. Shaw in happy
little speech.
Beginning with Williston church in
Portland, Me, where the first society of
Christian En6eavor was organized, the
speaker carried his audience through al
most every country of the world. His
lecture was illustrated by stereopticon.
Several local hits were made, one of which
was that Birmingham Endeavorers In
connection with the state union will in
vite the international convention to meet
here in 1909 The speaker referred to the
international convention which is to be
held in Baltimore, July SO this year. II.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the slIou.


The Factory Girl" one of the well
known melodramas that mas been seen in
Birmingham before, began a weeks en-
gagement at the Bijou theatre fast night
The play is typical of its class. with the
villain, the adventures, the poor girl who
is wronged, her lover who is true to the
last, and several others characters, both
grave and gay.
One of the most effective scenes in the
play shows the interior of a factory with
machinery in operation. A real dynamo is
used in this act and when the hero Is res
cued from death by the heroine the effect
is strikingly realistic and thrilling. There
are other scenes in the play that are very
we'll staged.
The crowd seemed well pleased with the
show last night. Certain it J that no
villain and no adventures were ever
Kissed with more energy. The audience
evidently cherished a very poor opinion
of the we'll dressed man and the woman
who scintillated beauty and wickedness
from crimson gown.
There will be the usual matinee this af-
ternoon and a performance tonight.

COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN
WHEN WARD GOES IN

In as much as George B. Ward, who was
elected Mayor of Birmingham yesterday
will be indicted into office tomorrow
night, speculation is now brisk regarding
the appointment Of committee chairman
ships under the new administration.
1t is understood that on this subject
Mr.. Ward has kept his own counsel, hav-
ing thus far given no public intimation
whatever as to whom he will select for
positions of greatest responsibility in his
administration. 1t has, # is said, been his
policy since his victory in the democratic
primary last fall, to study the whole sit
uation. await developments and appoint
as chairmen members of the Council who
would make his administration successful
and help him to execute the policies out
lined in his campaign.
When the campaign closed last fall, 1t
was generally understood that some
changes would be made in certain COM
mttee chairmanships. 1t was freely pre-
dicted in some circles that in the Ward
administration the committee on finance
and the committee on streets would be
headed by new men. 1t was even said that
the present chairmen of those two COM
mittees would not even be selected as
member of the committee each now heads.
Recent developments however, indicate
that though a new chairman will be APP
tees, each of the present chairmen will
be retained on the committee where he is
now serving. and will be encouraged to
give the city the beneht of his experience
and to cooperate In the effort to carry
forward the work of upbuilding Birming-
ham,
In a word, indications are plentiful that
there are no grievances to be squared
by the incoming administration and that
a spirit of harmony will animate the
new City Cuncil when it meets tomorrow
night. Forces that heretofore commended
are. 1t is said, already coaescing. and
the appointments of committee chairman
ships will be determined and made with
a view to cultivate cooperation.
Under the new administration the most
important committee chairmanships will
be:
1. Chairman of the committee on finance.
2. Chairman of the committee on streets.
3. Chairman of the committee on fire
and water.
A. Chairman of the committee on police
and sanitation.
S. Chairman of the committee on judic-
iary.
6. Chairman of the committee on parks,
public buildings and cemeteries. Ut is
understood that the cemeteries commit
