 THE MOTHERS UNION. A full attendance of the members and a few guests enjoyed yesterday morning at the home of Mrs. R. F. Dexter, when the Mothers Union met with her. An interesting business meting proceeded the literary pro- gram A feature of 1t was the discus sion of the City Federation which it was decided the club would join.
 Another was a discussion of the cir cular sent out by Superintendent of Education Guunels. askiAg that the Mothers Union endorse the bill that is to come before the Legislature pro- viding for County School Superintend- ents who are educated and who have stood examination as teachers. This measure the members of the Mothers Union heartily endorsed. In earnest language they deplored the stubborn fact of the- ignorant County Superin- tendent whose devotion to the cause of education is a side issue and an un- important item in his life. This measure Is Senate Bill No. 253. pre- sented by Mir Barbour, and House Bill 5S2, presented by Mir. Lee of Etowah.

OEARRYING ICE.
n T. Blasted From swiss Glaciers and Sent
to Distant cities.

The introduction Of electric railways into
Alpine districts has been the means Of estab-
fishing a new and somewhat strange indus
try namely. the quarrying of glacier ice
for distribution in large cities.
Certain Of the Swiss communes have
granted concessions Of their glaciers for
this purpose. and ice slides or V shaped
tToughs have been constructed in which
blocks of ice blasted out Of the glacier are
transported to the vicinity of the stations
for conveyance. in carefully refrigerated
vans, to large cities remote from the Alps.
The method Of blasting with black powder
80 as to avoid the discoloTatiOn and soiling
of the ice. and the engineering ability dis
played in erecting the slides and in providing
sufficient friction by means of curves to
avoid excessive speed in the downward
journey Of the ice blocks are spoken Of by
the London TIN es as examples of consider
able ingenuity and skill.
Glacier ice, which is perfectly pure and
trsnsparent, and which has many qualities
which are greatly appreciated by con-
sumers, commands higher value than that
of the usual kind obtained from the surface
of frozen ponds or lakes.
A singular feature in connection with the
preparation of the ice for the market il that
IL has been found necessary to store IL for
some days in special warehouses, formed of
a double thickness OF boarding with a
stratum of sawdust interposed. in order to
remove a coating Of frosted OF nontrans-
parent ice which tends 70 form on the sur
face OF each block as It leaves the glacier.

private house az if il we're a hotel For
instance, / heard an English woman make
this comment on the hospitality recently
extended to her by one Of my friends:
Yes, l had sitting room for my own
use, as well as a bedroom suite, and she
made me most comfortable
Il happened to know that while here that
visitor let IL be known that she preferred
being undisturbed until the lunch hour and
that she was so deluged with invitations
for the rest Of the day that her hostess had
hard work ever TO get half an hour with her
alone.
"In short. she used her friends homes
exactly as she would use q hotel without
meaning to in the least. II couldn't well
be avoided. | must say that an English
house is placed entirely at the disposal
of an American guest to do with as she
pleases only she doesn't please, as a general
thing, to use il as she would hotel. As
rule New York woman visiting an English
house puts herself in touch with the family
life as much as possible and really likes to
visit with the family.
But. putting that point aside, the reason
] shy now at placing my house at the dis
posal of an English guest is that first it
doesn't pay from a pleasure standpoint:
second, ! can't afford to give up an entire
floor TO one guest and her maid.
Take my own house-four story and
basement with dining room extension.
To entertain an English wOman-and have
done il Often-I must give up all of the
third floor to her To offer her one large
bedroom for her own use and a small one
adjoining for her maid will not do. We
who have been entertained in an English
house feel that such quarters are too
cramped for her; that a sitting room must be
tackled on. so tack il on, with the result that
while the English guest remains I can't
Offer a nights hospitality to any one else.
That is why say it doesn't pay to invite
English women to make their headquarters
in my house.
Il will entertain them TO their hearts
content night and day while they are in
New York, give them all sorts Of parties
in their honor, give them a dinner every
night in The week IL they will allow me to,
but much prefer that they should stop at
hotel. and many Of my friends feel the same
way. AZ for entertaining three or four
English women at a time could not do IL.
Most Americans are at a disadvantage
when il comes to a question Of exchanging
courtesies of this sort. unless English visitors
time their visits 30 al to reach here after
we have gone to our country homes: for
some New Workers have country homes TO
he proud Of. But English women don't care
10 do this. A New Yorker is glad and proud
10 visit an English country house, but when
An English woman decides 10 make a
return visit to America it's New York she
wants to stop in and no other place"

THE PATTON KILLING.

The Ruston Leader in. a review of the
deplorable homicide involving the death
of Mr.. E. w. Patton, says: THE whole
affair is shocking in the extreme. The
statement of Mr.. Bridges that he would
be willing to let another man knock him
through the window, if by that act Mr.
Patton's life could be spared, sounds
well, but it don't ease the breaking heart
of his frail little wife of mother of his
little baby boy. It don't bring back to
them their husband and father, their
protector and support. 1t don't bring
back to that old gray haired father out
in Texas his loving boy, nor can it heal
the bleeding hearts of widowed moth
er, wee tiny baby boy-destited to go
through life without the shiel1ing arm
of father-and loving sisters, brothers
and host of friends.
Mr.. Bridges may now dee.ly regret
his acts, and we believe he does, but, by
his needless and ungentleman1y acts, he
caused this mans death and he should
suffer for it"

GREAT REJOICINGS.

The Shylocks and sharks of Wall
street are rejoicing and are exceedingly
iglad over the issue of bonds which, as
alleged, will relieve the financial stress.
In the eyes of the bankers, capitalists
and financiers Cortelyou, Secretary OF
the Treasury, is greater man than
Roosevelt The Shylocks and sharks
view in this issue of certificates and
bonds an opportunity for more skinning
in the future. The financial basis as
prevailing i'll the United States, when
contrasted with the system of England,
France Or Germany, is snare and de-
fusion. All moneys needed by the peo-
pie for all purposes whatever should be
issued by the government. Such money,
gold, silver and greenbacks, would be a
legal tender for all debts and obligations.
With such system panics would be I'M
possible, and the Shylocks and sharks
would soon be compelled to seek a live
lihood by honest toll.

IMPROVEMENT OF RED RIVER.

IMPROVEMENT OF RED RIVER.
1t is not possible to overestimate the
importance of Red river as navigable
stream. Its Improvement is imperative
We may indulge in glowing terms of
railways, which are great developers and
civilizers, but navigable streams may be
used in restraint of the arbitrary and
monopolistic control of freight trans
portation and general traffic by railroads.
If Texas had Red river and the in
terror waterways of Louisiana, these
streams would be made navigable and
profitable, blessings to the greatest num-
Der of the people.
The proposed Improvement of the
waterways should be encouraged enthu-
siastically.
