SCHOOLS IN FINE SHAPE

Bessemer, January 25.-(Special.)-I. A. Lewis, chairman of the committee ap pointed by Mayor Rush at the last meet ing of the council to take up the mat ter of transfers from the North to the South Bessemer lines and from the Jones' boro line to each of these lines with President Ford of the Birmingham Rail way, Light and Power company, is today in receipt of a letter from MT. Ford, in which he states that he would be glad to confer with the committee at his office at 10 o'clock on Monday morn- ing next Owing to the fact that Alder man Thomas is confined to his bed with a severe attack of fever. it will be inn possible for him to make the trip to Birmingham and for this reason Chair man Lewis deemed it advisable that it should be suggested that Mir Ford make a trip to this city and then the matter could be taken up more fully and MT. Ford could be made thoroughly conver- sant with the existing surroundings. To this end he addressed a letter to MT. Ford, suggesting that he make the trip to Bessemer and talk the matter over.
 In the meantime the committee would be glad to have an expression from any of the Bessemer citizens in regard to the limitation of the proposed transfers. Of course there are some people who would no doubt like to get on the Jonesboro car, pay cents and then pay 10 cents more and go all the way to Birmingham. Of course this would be working a hard ship on the company and it is hardly possible that such thing would be given any consideration by the company. Still, there are doubtless S number of people who would wish just such thing.
 What the committee wants to know from the citizens is just what terri tory they would like to have the trans fers cover, provided that President Ford agrees to any such thing. It is pointed out as hardly possible that any fair minded person could expect the trans fers to hold good any further than Par ker Springs on the North Bessemer line, and by the way, this is two stations beyond Brighton proper, and certainly Browns station on the South Bessemer line would be far enough to grant trans fers.
 This matter is causing considerable dis cussion in the city and as matter of fact the reduction in the license for this year, asked for by the company, is be- ing held up until this matter can be set tied satisfactorily.
 It is believed by all who know Presi- dent Ford that he will be willing to do anything that is right and just, as he has shown so far that he is more than willing to do anything that will help and increase the service in Bessemer.

me for the same for the length of one

Some of the smartest hats will be

Her Work in Woman's Behalf.

From a little girl Elizabeth Cady
Stanton was imbued with the idea of
lettering the social status of woman.
She soon saw that her most power
full weapon was political and for
years waited for the opportunity to
strike her blow through the New
York State Legislature.
When the crucial moment came.
says Helen Christine Bennett in the
Delineator, Mrs. Stanton forgot to be
nervous. The tales of woe and suf-
ferings which had rung in that oft
repeated call, go to Albany" sound
ed in her ears. Her moment had
come. If she could make the men
who sat in their chairs before her
see those women as she had seen
them! She painted the change in
position from the maiden wooed on
Bonded knee to the wife who might
own nothing, sell nothing, whose time
and earning power were wholly at
the disposal of her husband. She
painted the widow in her first hours
OF grief subject to the demand of the
Jaw which robbed her of her cher
ished possessions so that it might be
satisfied. She pictured a mother suf-
fering under that law which gave in
any event the custody of child to its
father.
When the speech was completed
there followed a storm. One Sena-
tor rose in his place and declared
that its object was ito set at de.
fiance the divine law which declares
man and wife to be one and to estab-
fish legalized adultery" The press
of the day was openly divided. Many
of the papers called the claims dis
graceful and preposterous. Mrs
Stanton, happy wife and mother
was called an "unsexed woman" II
was 1850 when the bill passed. II
gave every married woman the right
to receive and collect her own wages
and to apply them to her own sup
port free from the control and inter
ference of her usband.-New Ha.

Worth on Elbow Sleeves.

Worth, of Paris, most famous of
living dressmakers, is writing a series
of fascinating articles for Harper's
Bazaar. In a recent number he had
something special to say of elbow
sleeves:
Il mentioned elbow sleeves Just

portunity of expressing my views
upon the subject, and at the same

She'd Rather Be Artistic.

Mrs. Frederic c. Penfield has d
hard time proving she has interests
apart from the fortune that has
brought to her the somewhat unsat-
isfying reputation of being zone Of
the richest women in the world. :"
AS Mrs. Anna Weightman Walker
before her recent marriage she was
as common subject of comment in
European periodicals as Mrs. Hetty
Green was a few years ago. But
talk of her wealth is distasteful to
Mrs. Penfield, who is genuinely artis-
tic in her tastes. 1t is an old story
about Philadelphia turning a cold
shoulder to her, only to suffer regret
when she came here to be received
cordially in the most exclusive circles.
Mrs. Penfield has two hobbies, music
and translating from the French.
She has been a regular attendant
this winter in the two opera houses,
and leading singers have taken part
in the musicales held for favored
few in her Fifth avenue apartment.
Mrs. Penfield seems to have found
the secret of youth, still looking
young, though she h seen one or
two more than fifty years. She is
still girlish in figure, and her hair
is dark brown. Self-satisfied Phila-
delphia made sad mistake when it
took an attitude of hostility toward
her, say her friends, who believe she
would be an ornament to society any
~here.-New York Press.

A Japanese Wedding.

Mrs. Post Wheeler has what per-
haps no other woman in the United
States has-a Japanese wedding ring
For Halle Erminie Rives, as she is
known to the literary world, was
married in Japan to Post Wheeler,
secretary of the American Legation.
Although the Episcopal ceremony
was used, she chose the japanese
marriage symbol in preference to
that of her sown country. 1t is a
little wider than the ordinary band
and is beautifully carved in Oriental
design. Between the chased work
are inserted Japanese characters that
read: my beloved is mine and I am
his" This is the favorite sentiment
for the Oriental wedding. This SEN
timent is repeated several times
around the band.-New York Sun.
