An Important scoop.

The Telegram gave to Clarksburg
the result of the Thaw trial fifteen
hours before any other paper did. In
fact, there were but few papers in
the State, If any, that gave the re-
suit as early as the Telegram did.
This fact certainly ought to COM
mend the enterprise Of the Telegram
to the people, and is another evil
dence why the circulation and the
popularity of the Telegram dfntance

agency of the world. Ii pays well
for this service and its readers can
always depend ON it. Through it ii
gets the latest and best news for its
readers, and the scoop In the Thar.
case certainly establishes this fact,
if there be the slightest occasion for
such establishment in the minds OF
the people of the community. Ii is
an evidence of achievements, OF
which the Telegram is proud, as well
as glad because of the service to the
people.

the like, have declared with con.
siderable emphasis that business has

was felt as soon as 1T was known how

The Value Of Time.

Time is valuable. Many people
manage to employ their spare hours
with something or other but multi
tudes of them thoughtlessly whie
away precious moments that they
could profitably invest in, something
useful and beneficial. The Chicago
Tribune recently published the fol-
lowing article on this subject that
should be read by those who find
that they have some time in the day
hours that they do not employ. Par
ticularly should 1t be read by those
yonng men who run about the streets
after working hours and loaf on the
corners and at other places grumb-
ling and whining for something to
do.
People save money, says the
Tribune. Some save millions. some
thousands, some hundreds, and some
quarters and dimes. The penny IT.

Where is the metal bank TO hold the

We meet people every day who
say: I'D like to do that. but i

has in which to do things. The

Politics in Cuba.

From Army and Navy Life.
 The eagerness of all Cuba to hold public office has of late been sub- ject of much wonder and amusement. There were undoubtedly provoking abuses but it is not much of an exag- geration to declare this the main, all most the sole moving power upon the men of last years revolution. He was the first man l met on arrival in Cuba. He was violent in feeling and denunciation against the government party. He had been an insurgent and fought in the field until his own side had been obliged by the United States to quit and abide the result of eiec- tions.

the Treble Clef club, local chorus of
 female voices has carried on it's work,
 giving private concerts to invited guests.
 With the coming concert the club enters
 new field. this being the first of
 series of three concerts to be given dur
 ing the season, with specially engaged
 soloists. The club Is under the musical
 direction of MT. Dahm-Pe Petersen, whose first appearance with the club, in his capacity, last spring Is well remembered, the artistic work then done being classed by the press and public as the D sst work in this line heard in Birmingham for years, and there Is good reason to believe that the clubs work this season under his direction will not fall behind that of last years The soloist for rhe first concert will be Ellison Van Hoose, well and favorably remembered from his first appearances here with Melbd and Sembrich. No young American tenor of recent years has made more marked ad- vance in his profession than Ellison Van Hoose. MT. Van Hoose added great ly to his reputation by his appearance with Madame Melba two years ago, while his tour last season with Madame Sem brch wos equally noteworthy. MT. Van Hoose is of Holland Descent but he was born in Tennessee.

The New Baby.

Eugene Wood, writing about the New Baby in the September American Maga- zine. deplores the departure from old- time customs in the care and nurture of children. He says:
 When the New Baby cranks talk off a long list of things that folks eat and that you really oughtnt to let a child under seven years old have, and under no circumstances think of letting child under four have, it takes all the romance out of life; it reduces all of the exciting chances of bringing up child to cold, passionless, business proposition. Mother love as a guiding star gives place to a pair of scales on which the New Baby is weighed each week and if its weight comes up to the standard for that week of life that does just as well. Love the baby little or love it whole lot is noth- ing: the question is Does 1t get so much of a definitely prescribed food exactly adjusted to its age and needs so many times day? Mother-love even sinks into the low level of bodily warmth which. in these modern days, can be sup piled in other ways. By, no means may the New Baby sleep in the same bed with it's mother. It will get along better if it sleeps out of doors. call that inhu- man."

Interest Centered In Visit of
 League Members
ELABORATE ENTERTAINING
The American Woman Can Stand Any Amount of Social Strain, as Is Shown By the Social Pace
 of the Past Week.

The week has been one Of brilliant in- terest. Many clements have entered into social life that gave an added interest to all the events of the week, and the visit of a number of distinguished pee pie from all sections of the country who came south to attend the International league meeting gave a brilliancy to so- oiaI life. Residential society is always more or less cosmopolitan because 1t Is made up of people from every quarter of the globe, and the gatherings of the week had this cosmopolitanism em- phasized, for no section of this country was not represented, and by people, too, who have at intervals claimed Europe as their residence, as well as those who have seen much of social life in Cuba and the Philippines.
 The social side of the league meeting was arranged by the members of the Bir- mingham Press club and the Writers club. Some of the most elaborate en- tertainments in the social history oc Bir- nningham were given in compliment to tho visiting members of the league, and the whole week was filled with smaller events dinners luncheons, automobile PHTlleS anu T6CepuOnS.
 The Writers club received informally throughout the week at their attractive club quarters. The visiting women made the club rooms the general rendezvous each day, and the morning of their ar rival was especially interesting and de- lightful socially, tlfe many distinguished women registering in the guest book, tn list including the names of many prom inent women. The League of American Pen Women, which has attained an International reputation, having been widely exploited in Egyptian and Japanese magazines as well as foreign continental publications, was represented by several well known women. The New York Womans Press association, the Pennsyl- Vania Press association, and also press or ganizations from the far west, were rep resented by bright women The south also sent women delegates to the league meeting. number of Tennessee women, members of the Tennessee Press and Authors club attending the league con vention.
 Following an tuomobile ride on Tues day afternoon, when some Of the hand- somest touring cars in Birmingham were placed at the disposal of the visitors Mrs. J. A. Rountree. president of the Writers club. gave a reception in compliment to the visiting women. Their chauffeurs drew mp at the Rountree residence be- tween and o'clock, the ladies in the party and a number of the gentlemen going in for tea and meeting there many Birmingham women who were receiving .with Mrs. Rountree.
