CHARGES DENIED
 BY THE CONSUL

Washington, August 3.-Commander William J. Maxwell of the gunboat Ma rietta, now at Ceiba, Honduras, has re- ported to the navy department that all is now quiet at that point and that the consular officers. whose exequaturs have been cancelled by President Davila, are still ashore. 1t not having been found necessary for them to take refuge on the gunboat. Captain Maxwell's dis patch contained a supplementary report touching the action of President Davila. It has been garbled in transmission and was sent back for correction. As far as the officials could make out the report confirmed the commanders original state ment to the effect that the consuls had not been guilty of any impropriety at the time of the demand of the surrender of Ceiba by the revolutionists, their all legged conduct on that occasion being the ground which their exequaturs were cancelled.
 The gunboat Marietta will be joined in about ten days by the converted yacht Scorpion

WOMAN1sS SUFFRAGE
 IN FRANCE.

The Marquis de Castellane, in his correspondence to an eastern newspa per. says:
 We want to vote like men," say the suffragettes. "Then go to war like men," Is the mans retort.
 "So let 1t be; we'll go," say the suf- fragettes
 It has not come yet to the formation of a corps of fighting amazons; the women are to face fire when need be- not to slay, but to gather the wounded and the dead. The nucleus has been formed of a corps of women stretcher bearers and field bandagers. They will be more than nurses in the field hos pitfalls; they will go under fire to tend the wounded. Already the ere are 600 or 700 of these volunteers in skirts they are of the infantry but now we are to have mounted section.
 Twenty-Five young women have learned to maneuver on horseback like trained troopers. They have learned to gallop out and find the wounded, to do first aid bandaging and bring tn em back, lifting them with strong arms across the saddle and delivering tn em to the amb ulance. Trained to this use in war, they say that the last objection to their sharing political life with men has gone.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

The recent marriage in Denver, Col, of Miss Evelyn Walsh. the only daughter of MT. and Mrs Thomas F. Walsh to Mir. Edward Beale Mclean, is a source of unusual interest to Birmingham peo- pie. Particularly do the older residents of the city feel interested, for many of them remember the Walshes when they lived here in the early days of Birming- ham, before the Magic City had gained the reputation of being one of the im- portant places on the map of Alabama.
 Mrs. Walsh was Miss Carrie Reed, the daughter of MT. Stephen Reed, who re- moved here about 1873 and cast his lot in Birmingham. MT. Reed was a brother of MT. Charles Reed, who until a few years ago made this city his home; and the latter now lives in California, where he has a beautiful place. MT Stephen Reed had another daughter besides Mrs. Walsh, Miss Lucy Reed, who married a Mir Lee, a partner of MT. Walsh's. Mrs. Lee met tragic death in her home town of St. Louis, a couple of years ago, by being thrown from her carriage and sus- taining injuries which resulted in her death.
 MT. Walsh came to Birmingham almost the time that the Reeds came here. He met Miss Carrie Reed and fell in love with her. As a girl Mrs. Walsh was prominent in church work, frequently serving as organist in the Presbyterian church, where her family worshipped. When MT. and Mrs. Walsh left Birming- ham the young couple went west and MT. Walsh began his career as an im- pecunious young man. Fortune smiled upon him, and today his daughter, Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean, is spoken of as one of the richest women in the United States. She will be the sole possessor (since the untimely death of MT. and Mrs. Walsh's only other child, MT. Vim son Walsh), of $250O0,o00

EMERSON RETAINS ~ HIS TENNIS TITLE

Chicago August 3.--Nat Emerson of Cincinnati successfully defended his title ! of western tennis champion against L.. Harry Waidner of Chicago at the courts of the Kenwood Country club today. The contest was one of the hardest fought and most stubbornly contested in the his tory of these tournaments, requiring five sets and 52 games. The score was S-10; GO; 3-6; 6-1; 7-5.
 foretaste of the sterling tennis that the match was to produce came in the first set. Every game was marked by rapid fire rallies and brilliant exchanges, both players displaying speed and skill that kept the large crowd of spectators cheering steadily. Waidner was the fav- orite with the crowd and when he finally managed to win the seventeenth and eighteenth games and take the set the applause was general. J
 Waidner's supporters received shock in the second set, however. The local man came back on the court with much of his skill missing. He was wild and was passed continually at the net. Emerson taking six straight games. Then it was the champions turn to fall down." he slowed up, so much that Watchers early lead in the third set proved too great to overcome and Emerson lost the vantage on sets. The next engagement was much more closely contested than the score indicates. Game after game went to 'deuce," but every critical point was Emerson's, and Wadner won only one of the seven games. The last set was equally stubbornly contested. Waidner | tried hard and when the score was at 'five-alp' he seemed to have good chance to win. But here Emerson took decided brace and by some brilliant cross court shots won two games, the set. match and the title.

TWO NOTABLE WOMEN

Mrs. Mary c. c. Bradford of Colorado and Mrs. Elizabeth Haywood of Utah have made themselves quite famous as Denver. A widely read western paper says:

Advertisinu a City.

Not many of the readers of this paper are familiar with the so-called market buying trips of merchants.
 The city of St. Louis, which last spring led in strating a National Prosperity Movement, is now inaugurating an ex- tensive advertising campaign for the benefit of all her mercantile interests and particularly with d view of attracting buyers to this market
 Large merchants all over the United States make annual, semi-annual or more frequent trips to the great wholesale cen- ters, where they have a chance to see the large stocks and the great variety of merchandise which is carried at head quarters.
 This is true particularly in dry goods. cloaks and suits, clothing, millinery. hats and shoes.
 They congregate in large numbers in such cities as St. Louis and other manu- featuring centers and the whole city takes on a new air. The hotels, theatres and summer gardens and other amuse- ment places expect them. They make ample preparation for them and get large share of their patronage, for St. Louis is a hospitable city, and the mer chants enjoy brief period of relaxation and pleasure along with their business engagements.
 During the months of August and September, thousands of merchants come to St. Louis, and the wholesale district is crowded. Wives and other members of the family come, and many not inter- ested particularly by market buying share in the good time. It is at these market buying periods, however that hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods are purchased and St. Louis Is carrying on her large advertising cam paign by the use of full page advertise ments, showing views of her pleasure re- sorts and places of interest, as well as setting forth her claims for the trade of the merchant
