Robert Lee Goulding, Pensacola, Fla, and hope soon to have the gratiaca- ton of hearing from all of Alabama Auxiliary Chapters, telling me of their work and standing" and sending for certificates, etc. as 1t is a duty they owe to report regularly to their State ' Director, who Is so deeply interested and anxious to hear from them.
 Sheffield, Nov. 5. 1906.
 As no report has been made of the Mildred Lee" Chapter U. D. C., recent lY and I feel that every chapter should report occasionally, that we may each know what the others are doing, and thereby keep In touch with each other. 1t is one work, one inter- est, one object, consequently we are drawn very near together in noble cause. We held our first meeting this season. first Thursday in October; our second, last Thursday. Both meetings were enjoyable and instructive. The attendance is not as large as we would like, but it is the desire always of the Literary Committed (which is appoint ed at each meeting for the following meeting )to make that feature espec- lally interesting. The music is con fined to the war songs of the Confed- sracy, giving the younger members at least an opportunity to learn them. Our president, Mrs. White is untiring in her efforts to further the Interest in every way in our chapter, and no doubt when we have had the benefit of meet ing of the convention In our midst we will be filled with enthusiasm and will do better work than heretofore. We propose to have Shiloh" evening and learn what we can of that Now. noted place. In looking over the list of donations to the Soldiers Home Hospital" pledges made at the last con- vention we felt disappointed that the Mildred Lee" Chapter of Sheffield was not credited with the $10 pledged by our delegate, and which was forwarded immediately upon her return from the convention. We hope. hOweverh the dear old soldiers will be ably provided for the coming winter. for 1t Is more l necessary to look after the living than those who have gone before We can build monuments later on. It is a pleasure to know that the United Daughters of the ,Confederacy" have be- come such a strong organization. Through them. as through no other channel, a great work can be accom- plfshed. The most important work is. to see that every old Veteran who fought in the cause he loved, should be made as comfortable and happy, as pos- sible, his remaining days.

DIVORCE ISSUE.

Wisconsin Senator Says 1t VIII Enter
 Next Campaign. Milwaukee Special
 State Senator Ernest Merton of wau- keshaw. who was a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor at the recent. primary election and who has since been appointed as a delegate from this state to the congress to meet at Philadelphia to discuss the divorce problem, believes that before the next campaign that matter will be a poIitI- cal issue both In State and national campaign.
 ''I have been especially interested in reforms to remedy the evils Of the present conditions In the matter of divorce" said Mir. Merton today The people of this State and of this na- tion will find before another campaign comes around that the subject of di- vorce will be an issue for political parties.
 "The preservation of the nation will demand it There is nothing which is corrupting the young people. the boys and girls Of the country, as the lax di- vorce conditions which now exist. Step parents can not by the very nature of things bring children to good citi- zens. The home Is the foundation of all government and when the home is broken up the very life of the govern ment is threatened.
 T look to see blanks fin regard to divorce laws put fin political platforms before the next campaign is fought The remedy for the evil in my mind Is the prohibition of marriage of dl- vorced persons

Passenxer Car of New Type Operated
 For First Time.

For First Time.
 Chicago Chronicle.
 For the first time an all steel pas senger car Is in regular service on an American railroad. The car Is in the regular overland service of the Union and Southern Pacific between Chicago and omaha. It was built in the Sac rarnento shops of the Southern Pacihc railroad. The under frame and upper structure is built of steel, the interior finish being mahogany.
 The usual upper deck has been aban- doned and an elliptic shaped roof Is nsed in connection with ceiling ventl- lators. The car is sixty feet long and nine feet eight inches wide. The in- side height Is nine feet two and one half inches. The seating capacity IS seventy passengers. The total weight of the car is 107, 400 pounds, about l5,- 900 pounds heavier than the heaviest standard coaches now used The steel construction means extra safety to the travelling public. The car Is equipped for either gas or electric lights and is heated by steam. The floor of the car Is particularly strong, being made up of successive layers of steel, wood and asbestos
 With the object of minimizing the emission of smoke from locomotives of the Baltimore and ohio Railroad J. P. Muhfeld, general superintendent of motive power, has issued new instruc- tions to engineers and firemen. tntend- ed to govern their firing and opera tion. This will not only result in an ecnomical use of steam and fuel but the elimination of dense smoke will largely contribute to the comfort of passengers and the general. public, es- pecially in passing though cities, towns and other thickly populated sec tions.
 The rules require that the fire must be in good condition at the time the locomotive starts out on trip; the large lump coal reduced to near the size of a mans fist and freely sprink- led with water before used. MT. Muhl- field says that the most successful fire men are those who can maintain the working steam pressure within a range of ten pounds variation with the small est amount of fuel and the least waste Of steam.
