\ MASS SPLITTING.

 Sehpsl work.

Further DiscussIen At Nlght of sanday Sehoel work.
 When the tnass meeting was called
 to order by 0. G. Miles at 7:30 o'clock I last night. there were about 160 per
 sons in the auditorium of the First
 Presbyterian church.
 The meeting was opened with pray
 CT ny Rev. Walter M. Crawford, pastor
 or the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
 MT Miles briefly explained the pur-
 pose of the gathering and briefly men,
 tloned the names and fields of work l ol each of the gentlemen that were to | address the audience. He called upon
 Judge carthel to begin the addresses
 Of the evening with a few remarks on the Sunday School work in Alabama. By means of map. the General Sec- retary of the State illustrated the ban- ner ana the organized counties in Ala banna and said that there were now only ten nnorganixed counties in the State and that one half of the coun-
 ties in the state were bledged to be in
 the banner list by the state conven-
 ton next spring.
 Chairman Miles then introduced Mir. Hartshorn as Baptist layman of Bos- ton. He comes to us to find out our needs in the Southern work" said Mir, Miles. He is making this tour at hls own expense. He belongs to us all. as he carries the banner under which we all work"
 In the beginning, MT. Hartshorn said that he was only the connecting link between Mir. Lawrence and pr. Hamill who were to follow him with addresses. He wanted to tell fis hearers how gen. timely Boston greets Montgomery. In his boyhood he had acquired fond ness for the general on the other tsouthern) side of the line during the war between the States and he had cried when he read of the death of Stonewal1 Jackson.
 Unless every Sunday School has been reached by the organized movement. he said. the standard has not been reach- ed. He told of the stupendous work of the International Association in dis- tributfng Sunday School literature. which ran as high as 4s:.00o, 900 leaf lets. folders and papers during the past al conyentions had been held since the was perfected and that the t13h Convention is to be held In Louis- vile. He only hoped that 1t would prove beneficial and inspiring to the Southern people.
 And now" said the Baptist iayrnan in conclusion, T only bring you my love. my confidence. my sympathy and my co-operation."
 Dr. Hamili. the next speaker. was introduced by Mir. Miles as Methodist, an A1abamian, a native of Macon Coun- ty and former student at Auburn.
 Dr. Hamiil spent the greater portion of his time in reviewing the history of Sunday school work. He began with the first crude Sunday school. and passed successively through the vari- ous stages and up to the system of the present time. He said that he always had tender feeling in his heart when he came to Alabama on any business whatever.
 The final address of the evening was delivered by Mir. Lawrence.
 All thought I have to bring to you tonight. friends" he said. .1a along l

End.
 The special gospel meetings at the southside Baptist churcn came to . close last night, when Evangelist T.. T. Martin preached to large congre- gation from the text. Revelations. xxii. IT. The Great Invitation.''
 The Intense earnestness of conviction that has marked the preacher through- out the meeting reached its climax as he presented the plan of salvation again to the people. Mfr. Martin is preacher of unusual power. His messages have all been plain enough for child to understand and at the same time as forcibie before the rnaturest minds irl convincing them. His appeals to hon est minds have been challenges to all classes of unbelievers.
 Three persons ware added to the church last night, and the outlook is bright for many more at the regilar services.

MIXED BATHING IN ENGLAND
Restrictions Which Were Formerly
in Existence Have Been
Lost Sight Of.

Within the last two summer seasons
mixed bathing, which was formerly
regarded by the British matrons with
horror, has become SO popular thai the
restrictions against it have been a.
lowed to fall INTO the breach OF non
observance at the majority of English
watering places.
1t is a curious fact, says the New
York Tribune, that while the minglins
OF men and women in the surf has pre-
vailed on the continent and in Ameri-
ca for a score of years, Mrs. Grumpy
until a few years ago successfully re-
sisted it on English sands.
For the first time the West Pier, at
Brighton, made arrangements for
mixed bathing this year, and the prac-
tice has now failed to excite opposi-
ton az Eastbourne, Isle of Wight, Mar
gate. Blackpool, Southend-on-Sea,
Ramsey, Peel and other seaside places.
The only noteworthy excep ions are
Bournemouth and Rhyl. At Rhyl wo-
mems and mems bathing stations are
half q mile apart and a policeman is on
DUTY tc prevent strong swimmers evad-
ing the regulations.

CHICKEN, THE JOKE.
Some Details Of the Cheesequake
Harvest Home Are Given.

: Mr.. aud Mrs. Albaugh. of Broad
way, with a party of friends, went to
the Harvest Home at C~heesequake, in
j. j.. Scully's furniture wagon, and on
their return trip an axle sprung and
they we"a compelled to borrow a
wagon belonging to Mr.. beats at his
farm. No one was at home, so the
wagon was returned bright and early
morning. Some said the wagon
broke down on account OF the extra
weight, it being caused by the quaint
ity of chicken the party had eaten.
Chicken is a standing joke in this
borough, but there were several very
indignant people at the Harvest
Home. A party Of sixteen and their
rector from a town somewhat distant.
purchased tickets for supper and find
ing there was none to be had, n
gentleman of the party. against the
remonstrance of their rector, col
lected all of the tickets and demanded
their money back. 1t was given to
them. They had come quite a distance
from up the road.
There was lots OF fun, though, some
taking it pleasantly. A lady started
for the table with a plate of peaches,
but by the time she got there, there
wasn't a peach left on the dish. a
young man said all he could get was a
plate of grapes and he generously
Shared them with others. There was
a lack of spoons and knives and forks
and some, after waiting a long while,
being hungry. used their fingers to
at chicken with. 1t was remarked by
some that teaspoons were used to
dish out beans, etc. AS some remarks
were made concerning their manner
of eating and dishing- out We mention
this. 1t was eat that way Or not at all,
for some time. The fact is the crowd
was too large for what preparation
had been made. The number can be

quite an expense. Asbury Fountain

WOMEN OF ARMY POSTS.

The life of an army wife is hard.
She lives under a microscope. She is
subjected to a constant scrutiny, even
more minute than that which the av-
era3e decent woman in a small town
rcceives-which can be compared only
to that brought to bear on the MINIS
ter's wife in such a town. Further
more, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
the army wife, if she ventures to be
indIscreet, is likely to- find the micro.
scope under which she lives instantly
enlarged into a telescope through
which the whole nation is looking al
her. Her husbands position make:
their domestic troubles Likely to b.
iorsed into national prominence, wher
they are, in fact, no worse than arr
occurring in every block in civil life
Under these circumstances it is {
wonder not that SO many but so few
scandals affecting army wives get int
the newspapers. The fact that they d.
not-tlat the percentage of domestic
scandals in the army attracting publi'
attention is smaller than in civil life
