59TH CONGRESS.
Senate Passes Urgent Deficiency Bill
--HOuse Passes 429 Pension Bills
in II Minutes, a New Record.
IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The House to-
day ground out it's usual semi
monthly grist of private pension bills,
passing in - minutes 429 bills for the
benefit of veterans who are barred for
one reason or another from coming in
under the general statute. This is a
new speed record in pension legislation.
Seventy-five per cent. of the bene-
ficiaries are either blind or bed-ridden.
This order, with Il number of minor
bills, and the passage of two amend
ments to the Philippine tariff act of
1905, constituted the transactions of
the day. The tariff amendments place
American cotton goods on an equality
so far as the cost of production is con-
cerned. with European goods. Low
grades of shoes We're admitted at low
tariff. The House adjourned until
Monday.
A bill to amend the Philippine tariff
act was called up by Payne, n. Y,
chairman of the ways and means COM
mttee He explained that the bill re-
lated to cotton goods and shoes; that
the cotton goods amendment was made
necessary because of a misapprehen-
SlOtl W HlCIl IeSulltu III al ulSCllilllIld
ton against American-made goods in
the tariff act of March 3. 1905.
The cotton manufacturers in this
country, he said. make goods % inches
wide whereas European manufacturers
weave in double this width and then
cut the strip in the center. thus saw
ing half the cost. These goods are
known in the trade as false selvege."
Goods ON which the rate is raised TO
the point which does away with the
discrimination against American goods.
Low grade and children's shoes are
placed in a lower class, making the
tariff less as Payne stated, to encOur-
age the wearing of shoes in the islands.
No one wished to debate the bill
which was passed without objection.
At 2.23 o'clock the House adjourned
until Monday.

several fine talks were made by men prominent n the work of the Assoeia' ton.
 The building, it is expected, will be completed about the first of the year.

 AssOclatiOn's History.
 The history of the Young Mems Christian Association in Montgomery is one of great interest. The Associa- tion was first organized in Montgom- cry in 1863 with Dr. s. $. Cox, Presi- dent, and T. Gardner Poster, Secretary. No official record of the Association was kept for a number of years, and it is not known how long the Associa- tion was kept intact, but 1t is certain that the first organization disbanded and was re-organized before 1t became permanently established in 1e94. At 4L 4, ,,,1raro ina tfoD Of fhn 4 AsgOcintfOu in March. 1894, J. $. Wilcox was elected President and A. r. Barrett, General Secretary. Mir. Barrett resigned in February, 1896, and was succeeded by the present incumbent, L. D. Dix. The following gentlemen have served as Presidents of the Association after Mir. Willcox In the order named: Michael Cody, T. s. Young, ". D. Holloway P. c. Shepard and George w. Ellls' who Is now in office.
 The building movement had us pe- ginning during the presidency Of MT Shepard, and only his removal from the city conld have separated him from the work to which he was so ardentiy de- voted
 h the fall of 1901 the Board Of Di- rectors was agltating the matter of a new building, and just at that time George Foster Pea body of New York, at the instance or AteN' AAeae'iu u ''"l uliO+ Murphy of Montgomery bought the building at 202 South Perry Street. known as the Baldwin property, for Sl4OOO. improved it at an expense of sG,OOO additional, and tendered it to the Young Mems Christian Association for It's use, free of rent, for period of three years During this time. it was understood the Association should at- tempt to raise the money needed for [ a new building. Later. Mir. Peabody offered to sell the Baldwin property to the Young Womcn's Christian Associa- tion for st0.Oe0., agreeing. when the | S1O.O00 was paid ovor to him, that he would give SI00OO to the Young Mems l Christian Association, provided they secured building subscriptions amount ing to S25,O00,

 There are four divisions Of the work of the Younf Women's Christian As- sociation. The four chief characteris- tics of woman are appealed to and de- yeloped--the spiritual, the intellectual, the social and the physical. To the aim and object of the development of all that Is best in the character of the young woman along the lines of these four natures the Association bends ever effort and that the success has been something wonderful tine thous- ands of women all over the world can testify.
 The Montgomery Association owns beautiful home with all necessary equipments, but, as an Association, Is rather weak in numbers, bus strong in determination.
 Not by might nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts,i the motto of the Young Womenf Christian Association, might well bf given as the answer to the natural in quiry as to how a little band of twen ty women dared to organize and in' stitute this great work in Montgola' cry. Though 1t is a part of a. world wide organization and directly asso- eiated with State and National com mittees the local asspciatipp must, to a large extent, stand alone in its mar terial responsibilities. Three years ago the thought of this work in Mont gomery was brought about through the offer of George Foster Peabody to let the women have the $20,000 prop erty now occupied by them for S10,000, to be raised in Montgomery for the fund of the Young Women's Christian Association.
 In November. 1905. the building was formally opened for the Young Wom- ems Christian Association work,- with Miss Isabel Richmond, secretary, in charge, In January boaording de- partment was instituted, and from that time eighteen young women have found and made a home there. The gymnasium was next considered, and classes were carried on during the winter, giving place to the popularity of the swimming pool throughout the summer months. tN&

E@eI uFBaRlxeo OAe or the Early
 Churches,
 One of the oldest churches in Mont- EomeFy, one that dates back in its organization t0 the pioneer days, to the time when Montgomery was but Q village, Is the First Presbyterian church
 In the spring of 1923 when the first Montgomery church was built, the few Presbyterians of the town took a prominent part in securing the money with which to build the union church and in a few years they were the first to recognize the urgent need of a church of their own.
 The First Presbyterian church of Montgomery, as a church, (not SIS q eongreGation,) dates from the year 1880. During that year a lot on which to build the church was selected and the building was begun. On the site of the present handsome church a small frame building was erected which did service as a place Of wor- ship for that congregation until in the year 1S47, a church commensurate with the demands of the ever in- creasing congregation. the present brick church, was erected.
 Among the ministers who preached at intervals to the Presbyterian cons gregatiOn during those early days were Rev. George McWhorter. of Au. tauga county. Rev. McPhail, Rr. MT McGayghey and SamuelL Watson Early fin the year 1889 Rev.AaaronB Jerome a graduate of the Theolog ogicaiSeminary of Princeton, N.J.r was istalled as pas tor of the church. He lived only a few months after his installation and was succeeded by Rev. David Finley. who entered upon the duties as pas tor of the church January 12. 1S4O. During the psstorate Of MT. Finley the congregation resolved to erect an- other edifiee, and one more suited to the gFaWth of the city and the in- creased congregation. At a cost of
