EASTER WEATHER FAVORS
 BEST HATS OF THE SEASON

It's all right. The weather man says that all Easter costumes even to the most elaborate of hats may be worn today in the annual Easter parade. It's not going to shine so much to make the delicate tints fade, nor will it rain to take the most delicate of tints out It's going to be about right-very pleasant
 The thermometer Is also in favor of an Easter parade. It is predicted that with the coming of daylight this morn ing the temperature will start on an upward journey to last for some days.
 The bulletin sent out from Washing ton to cover the State is not SO prom ising. That bulletin or prediction says that 1t Is going to be very cloudy, and holds out the promise of a little rain maybe. But even the Washington man must have felt that a lot depended upon today. for he added little, if any. rain will fall in any part of the State.
 The high barometer area which was yesterday passing off the Atlantic coast is being followed by an area of low barometer carrying rain with it. This low area Is way to the north of Alabama in fact in what is known as the Lake region.
 This low area is being closely fol- lowed by another area of high cover ing most of the west. This high will in all probability keep the low from moving far South, and is apt to pro long the ideal weather of yesterday afternoon and early last night.
 So count on it, today is going to be a fine Easter day. and the magnificent display of Fluffy -Ruffles" need not be interfered with In the least

At the final session of the Alabama Educational Association yesterday khere was another echo of the ad- dress before that body of pr. Lincoln IHuiley. President of the John B. stet- son University. in which the distin- guished guest from Florida Thursday night treated certain traits of the Jew ishs race jocularly.
 pr. Hulley's address was delivered before an immense audience Of teach CTS and Montgomerians in the Court Street Methodist Church. pr. Hulley. in pursuit of amusement for his audi ence. told series of jokes of which the Jew, mostly of the trading class. was the subject As one of the anec- dotes was construed by Rabbi B. C..

 Thus the incident was passed over.

DUB0IS'S EASTER cANTATA
 WAS SPLENDIDLY RENDERED

The Seven Last Words" an Easter cantata by Theodore Dubois, was rem dered at the First Presbyterian Church on Good Friday night to an audience which completely filled the large audi torium. At S:30 o'clock all of the available seats in both the main audi torium and the gallery were complete ly filled and chairs from tho Sunday School room were pressed into service. These chairs were placed In the aisles of the church at the end of the pews, hut in spite of this extra supply of seats fully a hundred people were turned away unable to get even stand ing room about the doors and in the vestibuie.
 Prof. Rienzi Thomas took his seat at the organ. and after the first burst of melody from the magnificent instru- ment, until the benediction was pro- nounced by tie pastor of the church, there was not a sound above q slight hum of the cooling apparatus beneath the floors of the. church.
 The large audience which heard tn rendition evidences the fact that Mont gomery music lov1rs knew that the masterpiece of Dubois would be pre- scented in a highly musical manner. both by. Professor Thomas at the or gan and by the singers. which hs. has been rehearsing for number of weeks past.
 The leading baritone part was taken by Rev. H. M. Edmonds. A better se- lection could not have been msde. His rendition of the dificult music showed him. the thorough musician. His Is a voice which is highly trained, and also a voice which possesses a marveliously sympa tn etic sweetness.
 The. leading soprano taken by Mrs. Rienzi Thomas showed that the singer had devoted much time to the careful study of what tho composer wished to express with a voice that he was ex pressing with the organ. Mrs. Thom ass voice brought out to the fullest the varying expressions of human pas sion, which the composer wished to present to his hearers.
 The soloists were assisted by choir of thirty-hv and were a great part of the; rendition. The study which they had put into, their rendition was clear ly seen. Mr.. Aldrich Moore, Mir. Charles Smith and MT. P. J. Kinder hout sang short solos admirably.
 The following chorus assisted Pro- lessor Thomas and the soloists in the rendition:

An immediate response met the call yesterday to the children of MoHtgom- cry to collect money in small sums for the purchase of medal for Bob. the ferryman. who rtsked his own life in the effort to save the two white men who were imperiied during the dis, dressing accident of q week ago, and in which one man lost his life. A num- Der of children sent contributions to The Advertiser office and Mrs Knox who suggeated this action as we'll as the collection of a fund for the negro, was assured by a number of other children that they would gladly assist in the movement. The first contribu- tons received yesterday were from and Malcolm Mckay. Each of them contributed a dime From unknown children there came in one envelope forty cents with the wish written that 1t be used to buy a medal for Bob the Ferryman.. It is announced that number of other children will help in this movement and that they alone will make the contribution which shall purchase the medal for Bob. as definite badge Of his bravery. It is proposed that this medal be pinned upon his coat by the Governor or some other high official. that all may know that bravery will be rewarded.
 . Nor was the fund allowed to remain at It's old figure yesterday. A contribu- tion of one dollar was made by wiI G. Mckinney who also testified to the good character of Bob. whom he has known for many years. Tn sending the dollar MT. Mckinney wrote:
 T have known him for several years He is good humored, good natured. humble and the white mans friend, He is worthy of all donations that may, be made him"
 An unknown contributor also sent in fifty cents. These two contributions added to the previous day brings the total fund for Bob up to s3s.

joke. the Rabbi replied Friday night in terms of resentment. T1s
 Indeed. Dr. Hulley.s excursions into the field of wit. at what was considered to be at the expense of the Jews as d race. were characterized by Rabbi En- renreich as sinful and malicious. {"
 Yesterday afternoon early. before final adjournment of the meeting of the Alabama Educational Association, E. M. Shackelford. president of the State Normal College at Troy, brought the controversy to the attention of the Association. He arose and told the au- dience of teachers that he thought, that body ought to take cognizance of the grievance which the Jews felt. He de-. ciared that as Dr. Huliey was a guest of the Association. the Association. should assume responsibility for what was said in an addres of that guest.
 Mir. shackelford was inclined to agree that perhaps Dr. HulIey was sure that nothing offensive was if- tended. He commented upon the dis position of pr Hulfey to he enter taininR and thought perhaps that the matter had been carried bit too far Thursday night. He would suggest that the Association adopt some means at once to set itself right on the prop osftions He suggested that . motion be entertained formally disclaiming any intention of the guest of the Associa- ton to reflect on. "any class of people. especially so important q class as that referred to.1 s.s'
 Evidently Mir. shackeiford had sur prised many of those present who be- gan making inquiries as to the inci- dent of Dr. Hulley and tho Jewish Rabbi Before the inquiries lie had only alluded to the incident in gen eral terms. But finally he called names and referred to the account of the cpl sode as 1t appeared in the morning pa- per.
 with the conclusion of few ques- tions asked for information by two or three members, Chairman P. W. Hodges. of the Executive Committee, arose and made an explanation that seemed to ,hange the whole attitude of the Association. Mir. Hodges. said that he was with pr.

 T went into the contest al the so- licitation of many stockholders who had for many years entrusted me with their proxies and on the advice of counsel with great reluctance. My effort has been to protect the Illinois Central and my own large holdings therein in f2.432 shares from exploi- tation by men. whose acts in other corporations have been denounced, after full investigation by officers of the federal government. and are in volved in suits in the courts here in New York. in Utah and elsewhere, and have done my best to advise the stockholders of the situation When Mir.

cRITIcIsEs DICK BILL
Socialist Speaker Decrics New Mili-
 tary Measure.

s. F.. Beardslay of Shelton talked to the Socialists laset evening on the Dick Military Bill This is an act that recently passed the national house of representatives. It gives the presi dent the power to call upon any male citizen between eighteen and forty-five yeals of age to do nine months mili- tary duty and makes the penalty for refusing O. neglecting to respond to such call whatever a court martial may prescribe. The bill was introduced by Represe ltatiye Dick of Ohio. The speaker accused the Republican party of deliberately attempting to form a centralized military government and declared that the object was to keep the laboring classes in subjection for capitalistic exploitation. He quoted MT. Hepburn, well known as originator or the pure food law, as saying a strong military force would be neces- sary to cope with labor troubles in the future. He declared that the speaker of the house absolutely muzzled debate on the act Not the least thing about this bill, ha said, is the fact that if it becomes a law any man between eigh- teen and forty-five is open to trial by court martial.
