To Mrs. Mason H. Sherman.

The Ladies' Aid society gave a delight
full entertainment yesterday afternoon at
the home of Mrs. J. b. Simpson on Ave-
nue. f in honor of Mrs. Mason II. Sher-
man, who will leave about the 10th of
this month for Chicago, where she Will
in the future reside.
The meeting was entirely a social one,
as the ladies of the society feel that
TOO much could not be done or said in
honor of Mrs. Sherman, who has been
their president, and by her untiring eff
forts in the interest of her church and
her charitable disposition has won the
love and the highest esteem OF all with
whom she has come in contact.
Mr. Sherman was recently made general
superintendent of all the plants or the
Semet- Solvay company, and they think
that 1t will be more convenient for them
to reside in Chicago than in Ensley, as
his duties keep him in that territory
longer than in the south.
AS a token of their high regard the
ladies presented the retiring president
with a beautiful cut glass bowl Every
member of the society was present, and
the suggestion was made that as 1t was
impossible to tell when they all would
meet again a photographer be sent for.
and as this met with the hearty approval
of all present Mr.. r. w. Russell was
called and they were photographed in
body from Mrs. Simpsons front porch.
Expressions of regret were extended TO
Mrs Sherman from all the members that
she was to leave their midst, as were
also the wishes that her new environ
ments in Chicago would be most pleas

ANSWER OF ATLANTA
BIRMINGHAM CO.
Puts Burden of Condition Upon the
San Francisco Earthquake and Fire.
Offers to Settle at SO Per Cent.

Atlanta, March 7.-(Special.) THE At
lanta- Birmingham Fire Insurance COM
pany filed its answer in the United States
court today in the proceedings which
have been brought to declare it a bank
rupt corporation. AS has been known all
along the company puts the burden of its
condition upon the San Francisco earth
quake and fire.
But the answer goes on to assert that
the company's policy contains a clause
which Immediately invalidates 1t In the
event the building covered falls or col
lapses from any other cause than fire.
1t is asserted that under this clause,
where many of the buildings fell as the
result of the earthquake, and we're after
ward burned, the company cannot be
legally held liable
The company states that 1t has offered
to settle the San Francisco claimes on a
basis of so per cent, but it appears that
the offer has been refused. The claim is
also made that the company could not get
full justice in California courts.
If it could settle on a basis of so per
cent in the case of the San Francisco
claims the company would have no diff
ficulty In paying out and having sur

Pastors Issue Appeal.

The Pastors union of Ensley will call
on the members of their respective
churches Sunday for offerings to be sent
to the aid of the sufferers in the famine
stricken district of China.
Rev. l.. A. Reagor has been very busy
getting information as to the extent OF
the suffering in the far east, and he said
today that the conditions were far more
horrible than any one could have any
conception of their being, and the fol-
lowing are some of the facts that he
learned during his investigation:
The famine in a part OF China was
caused by excessive rains last summer
and a three months flood which sub
merged farms, destroyed the crops and
washed away buildings An area of 4o0W
square miles was covered by the Hood
and about l2.0V0,0OO people are affected,
and at least 5.O00.O00 are facing starvation.
The distress is very great Leaves,
grasses, plants and roots are the only
food in many places. Aged people are
being drowned to prevent their death
from starvation. Everywhere people are
diving in the fields, on the roads and In
the streets. Parents are selling their own
children for one or two dollars each. The
children cry and moan for bread and
their parents throw them into the river
or poison them 10 end their suffering and
pitiful cries. A woman was travelling
with her baby girl year old. She took
fever and died by the side of the road,
clasping tightly her little child. For two
days the little living child was left in
its dead mothers arms. Driven along by
hunger and fever the passers-by could
not stop to heed even the cry of a help
less baby.
In two districts human flesh has been
sold for food and parents have been

SPOONER IS URGED
TO RECONSIDER
Gets Thousands of Messages
DepIoring His Leaving Senate
HISTORIC CASES SIMILAR
impossible North Carolina Roads the
Cause of the Oldest Resignation
From the United States
Senate on Record.

Washington, March 7.-(Special) Sen
ator Spooner is receiving thousands of
messages, both by mail and telegraph
deplorng his resignation or urging him
to reconsider it. Perhaps the most inter
esting and not the least pathetic of these
messages was a telegram received today
from Julian s. Carr of North Carolina.
Mr.. Carr's dispatch is as follows: Sen
ator John C. Spooner-For Gods sake
don't resign. am a Confederate soldier,
who surrendered with Lee at Appomattox;
from North Carolina. Senators Simmons
and Overman can vouch for me. Senator
Alger once honored me with an introduce
ton at the Waldorf Please don't resign
now The country needs your valuable
services and looks more to you than any
other member of the Senate for our coun-
trys salvation. Please don't resign We
all love you for your great ability"
The resignation of Senator Spooner in
the middle of his term is not the only
case of the kind In the recent history Of
the Senate. In 1891 George F. Edmonds
who like Mr.. Spooner, was the acknowl-
edged constitutional authority on the re-
publican side of the chamber resigned
CURLY and without volunteering SO elab
crate an explanation as that vouchsafed
by the Wisconsin statesmen. 1t is known
that one of the principal reasons for Mr..
Edmonds' quitting the Senate so abruptly
was his firm belief that the membership
of that great body had deteriorated and
he felt that he could find more congenial
company and worther tasks by going to
Philadelphia to practice law where he Is
living now.
The oldest resignation of senator on
record is that of North Carolina states
man of the name of Craig, dead many
years. He was elected to the Senate by
his legislature, without a struggle, sew
eral years before the civil war. His
home was in the mountains, far removed
from railroad connection. In an old
fashioned sulky popular in the tar heel
state in those days, he started from his
home to the nearest railroad station to
come to Washington. The roads were
bad and his vehicle became mired in the
mud after he had been away from the
comforts of his home a day He turned
around, went back home and sent his
resignation to the governor, declaring
that the roads were impossible and he
would not travel over them at that time
of year for the senatorship His resig-
nation was accepted.
Senator Spooner had the following to
say about a report from Minneapolis that
he is to enter the service of James j.
Hill of the Great Northern railroad at
salary of $4,000 year:

eral counsel of his roads in 1884 | have
