SHOUTING AND CHEERING.
Unpreceden Scenes Enacted In the
Senate of Alabama.

Montgomery, Nov. 21-Unprecedent-
ed scenes were enacted in the senate
chamber of the legislature Tuesday
when the statutory prohibition bill was
passed. Women and children throng
ed corridor and gallery, and even
usurped the sanctity of the floor, push
ing the senators from their seats and
giving vent to their enthusiasm by
shouting and cheering that re-echoed
throughout the building.
Senators who opposed the bill were
Kissed down When they arose to speak
against the measure, and Lieutenant
Governor Gray, the presiding officer
of the senate, wac forced to reprove
senators.
The statutory prohibition bill which
was passed Tuesday was in the nature
of> a compromise between the anti:
and the prohibitionists. The ants
agreed to give up the fight provided
the time was extende to January, 1909
when the sale IF whisky would be for

amendment will be sent to the house
and will be concurred in without ;

American Artists in
Paris Plan Home

AS happens to every institution which
meets want. the American Art Asso-
citation of Paris, "a Rue Notre Dame des
Champs. finds its scope extending in
such degree that it must consider the
question of seeking new quarters. This
matter has just been discussed at the
annual meeting OF the Board of Gov
ernors. Various schemes were exam
ined, and it was eventually decided a
once to begin collecting funds for the
purchase of a site and the erection
thereon of permanent home for the
association An endowment fund was
created with nucleus of 1000 francs
set aside from the general funds of
the association.
Having thus begun on the lauda BILE
principle of "Aide-toi, lie ciel t'aidera,"
the Board of Governors now turns for
support to art patrons and to all Ameri-
cans interested in the welfare of their
compa triots who come to Paris TO study
art. To appreciate the calls made upon
the association it is necessary 10 state
that every year there are about 100
American students in the French CAPT
tai studying painting. sculpture, Illus
tratlon. architecture and music As a
rule the benefit of these studies is not
limited to the student himself, for on
his return to America he becomes an
effective factor in the dissemination
of a knowledge and appreciation OF
art in all parts of the country. The
logical conclusion is that 10 further
the work of the American Art Associa-
ton is to render service to the cause
of art in America.
AS the number of students increases
the association finds greater and great
er difficulty in giving them accommo-
dalton. Besides offering a second home
for the social intercourse of its mem
bers, its library, reading-rooms and
restaurant are well patronized. while
the numerous exhibitions which ii or
ganizes every year tend TO raise the
standard of the work produced and give
talent an opportunity of securing
recognition. For all these reasons the
Board of Governors appeals for sub
scriptions to the endowment fund, to be
sent to the honorary secretary.
At the same meeting new officers Of
the association We're elected as fol-
lows: President, Rodman Wanamaker:
first vice president. Paul W. Bartlett:
second vice president. Herbert w.
Faulkner: honorary secretary. Sidney
B. Welt; treasurer, H H. Harjes; Board
