 The meeting was prolonged af- fair. Not only were the estimates sub mitted by Engineer Garrett considered and discussed but the entireground was gone over with each of the three pos slble selections, and the advantages Of each compared with those of the other two. Transportation tQ and from the grounds and the railroad and street car facilitIe were all matters for consid- eration. The discussion In the meet ing was most careful and thorough and before It's conclusion the members had arrived at a unanimous opinion.
 Before adjourning. it was decided by the members that nothing definite should be given out regarding the rec ommendatlon to the Board until after the meeting of that body this morn . ing.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF LOCATION TO
 BE MADE TO-DAY.
Committee Chose Between Holt, Gib- son and sharp Places and HRs Made Recommendation to the Board.

The site on which the big State Fair of the Alabama Agricultural Associa- tion will be held, October 22 to 27, in- elusive, will be officially decided upon today At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of that organization, which has been called for 10 o'clock in the Association headquarters, 70 l-2 Commerce street, the matter VIII pc taken up and a decision made.
 In point of fact, the selection Is re- garded as already made. Yeterday ar ternoon the committee recently ap- pointed to investigate the properties offered for this purpose met and be- fore adjourning.. adopted resolution by unanimous vote, recommending the site which they consider best fitted for the purpose of the exposition. The meeting of the Board of Directors this morning is to be for the purpose or giving the recommendation of the com mittee official sanction. It Is expect ed that the committees selection VIII be adopted without discussion.
 The selection of the committee in its two-hour session yesterday was not made public last night. It is known almost certainly, however. that the Fair grounds will be on the north or | east side of the city, on one of three locations. The three possibilities are | the Holt ana AslDSOn pldHlahAohS Ni' the Lower wetumpka road, adjacent l to Pickett Springs. and the old SharT | place on the Upper Wetumpka road.
 That the site chosen would be one oi 1 these places has been an admitted fac' for more than week. Since the pre-. liminary investigation by the commit tee of the different properties offered for the Fair there has been no question | of this In respect to price, street ca and railroad facilities, and the nature of the ground. the locations mentioned were regarded as possessing the great
 est advantages of those submitted z
 the committee. For the last week 1
 has been merely a choice of the bes

 members last night were unanimous Ii
 the belief that they had made tn
 wisest selection.
 When the committee first began 1t
 Investigations, there were some ten o

couNsEL TO THE DEBUTANTE.
 From "The Counsels of a Worldly Goa Mother" by Persia Mather, are taken the following extracts:
 What has come over the modern girl that she thinks modesty and del- icacy simply old-fashioned? The truth os tbe matter is that vanity prompts .yirls of any generation to do un- iadvlike acts, to put themselves on ex- hihition. to do bold things 10 attract attention; but now this foolish impulse is not balanced, as 1t used 10 pe oy tha hetter sense of good breeding. and inc very flimsiest excuse of serving charity is e good enough pretext Tor roinr into any extravaganza. AS Tor charity. they care-you care as much for the length of Pharaoh's beard.
 Here ia an Illuminating bit concern ing the god-daughter's settlement work: ..,,.t modern charity work is enough to make angels weep. MY oeat ae sod daughter what do you know or inc working girl?

 Apropos of marriage, hear this good lady:

.zanesviile (ohio.) Signal
 It was by q vote of 34 to 70 that the Ohio house last week defeated bill to abolish capital punishment. The most novel point urged fin its favor was made by a medical member, who said that every physician in the state knew that the mother who read of an execution imparted a criminal instinct to the unborn child. That Is one off those things which are important if true The strongest argument against the bill was that the people are not ready for 1t and the lynchings might ish murderers to the supposed extremi~ ty of human power. But it Is an argu- ment which is refuted py the Maine without capital punishment, are freeK from mob executions than is Ohio.

Every member of the Board was deeply impressed with the talk by Mrs. Chatheld and are enthused over the prospects for the success of a work that will mean much to the workers and to Montgomery.

AAnEAnING HABIT.

fault-hnding. criticising habit IS fatal to all excellence. Nothing Will strangle growth quicker than ten dency to hunt for flaws, to rejoice in the unlovely, like a hos which always has his nose in the mud and rarely looks up. The direction in which we look indicates the life aim, and people who are always looking for something to criticise, for the crooked and the
 ugly. who are always suspicious, who
 invariably look at the worst side or
 others, are but giving the world pie ture of themselves.
 This disposition to, see the worst in- stead of the best grows on one very rapidly, until it ultimately strangles all that is beautiful and crushes out all
 that is good in himself No matter how many times your confidence has been l betrayed. do not allow yourself to sour 1 do not lose your faith in people ~Tht had are the exceptions; most people are | honest and true and mean to do what | is right.-Success

of the expedition then going forward.
 During every day with the Admiral
 and a large party of army and navy
 officers, his objects and plans were freely spoken of, and thus. when we ar-
 rived in sight of the city, the under signed again demanded an answer to his dispatches, to which Sir Alexander answered smilingly: An, MT. S., after sn your presence our purposes and plans, you could hardly expect us to let you go on shore now in advance of us. Your dispatches are already You will have to remain with us until all | is over, when I promise you there shall | be no further delay

 that we should return to our own ves- sel--one of Ferguson's Norfolk pack ets-under our own Star Spangled Ban ner, during the attack. It was from | her deck, in view of Fort McHenry, | that we witnessed through an anxious I day and night. The rockets red glare, | the bombs bursting in air. and the song which was written the night after we got back into Baltimore, in the ho- l tel, then kept at the corner of Han over and Market Streets, was but a versifed and almost literal transcript of our expressed hopes and apprehen- sions through that ever memorable pe- | riod of anxiety to all, but never de- | spair.

HEADACHES AND THEIR CAUSES.

A physician finds that headaches are due to three main causes. The first IS disordered nervous system, and often results from the worry and stress or life, never from properly -calleal work. Belonging to this class Is the headache of anaemia, so common among young girls of ill-nourIshed nervous systems and impoverished blood. The second great cause is eye-strain. which does not depend upon defective vision, but on a faulty shape of the eye that over taxes the muscles of accommodation and is to be corrected by proper glasses. Headaches from this cause, unlike oth- CTS, are often severe at night and absent in the morning. The third kind of head ache is due to poisons in the blood. and | It's throbbings give evidence of too high blood pressure resulting from dis orders of digestion due to overeatinG
 of rich food, imperfect mastication or
 lack of exerclse.-Exchange.

was expected that the committee would
meet today. Secretary Shaw is on his
way to attend banquet and other
festivities of the Missouri republicans
at ST. Louis, which for a time it was
expected he would not attend owing to
internal dissension among some of the
Missouri leaders. He is expected to
review parade and deliver an address,

favor of Shaw for president will be
made.
