Florence, November 12.-tSpdcial)-At' the opening of the synod of Alabama this morning, the Orphans Home report, which occupied a large part of yester- day, was again taken up. The proposi- ton to cut down the number of inmates to 50 on account of the financial condi- ton of the institution, which is $7OO0 in debt, met with a storm of opposition, and was defeated by large majority.
 In response to an overture from the synod of Virginia a committee was ap- pointed with Dr. J. w. Stagg as chair man to confer with committees from other synods on consolidating the five theological seminaries of the Presby- terian church of the United States.

Rome. November 12.-'rhe Vatican au- thorities are following the attitude taken by Archbishop Farley of New York re- garding the proposed celebration of the marriage of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt and Count Laszlo Szecheryi.

 A large number of business men from all sections of the state met here tonight and protested against the legislature going further at this time in the passage of legislation to embarrass the railroads. Though the members of the two houses were invited few of them responded 2 It was held out in the addresses that the effort on the part of the governor to prevent the cases being brought to test in the courts was depriving lltigants of the rights guaranteed to the citizens. There were about 300 at the meeting. Among the speakers was Col. T. G. Bush of Birmingham, who deplored the dis position at this time to make trouble, and thought 1t the duty of all to make as little disturbance as possible.
 Speeches were also made by r. F. Glass of Montgomery, Ross Blackmon of Anniston and T. II. Motion of Birmns- ham, Mr. Glass criticised the governor and the legislature for undertaking to discount the efforts of the business men. He said the governor had been a letter of last June, in which he called a meeting of cotton mill men to pro- vide for child labor legislation, saying that they were at that time sleeping oil their rights. The letter was cheered loudly MT. Glass also said that Milton H. Smith, president of the Louisville and Nash vile railroad had been one of the best friends Alabama had ever had.

Bessemer Not In 1t.

The Birmingham Athletic basketball team came to town this evening and played a few rings around the local squad The final score was l1 to 10 The game Was well played throughout, and while the Birmingham team is by far the better of the two, still the Bessemer boys showed up in very nice style.
 They lacked energy and pnsh, and they seemed to be afraid of getting run over. All they need to make good is to get out and hustle otherwise they are bound to lose out in most of the games they play this season.
 The Birmingham boys are simply in tno game from start to finish. They go into win, and when they make a start Il is mighty hard 10 head them off With d little more practice it is thought that the Bessemer team will show up in pretty good style. There isn't any excuse to be offered for their defeat, but it might be said to their credit that they have done mighty well, considering the length of time they have been organized.
