Is the Sheath Gown Naughty?
 State Fair Committee PerpLexed

Is the sheath gown immoral? If any body knows hs will confer savor on the Executive com- rnittee of the State aFir Asso- ciatfon yanswering. The committee is worried about that question. It talked about 1t for three hours last night and then passed 1t up."
 What the committee said. what view each man held of the sheath gown may not be told. The talk was behind closed doors and the committeeman wore a worried look when they came out. They were afraid of the sheath gown, and that's the truth. They didn't like the sound of the name.
 The Executive committee is anxious that the coming State Fair at Mont gomery shall be of the highest stand ard. or as the ring master says. "A high -ciass moral entertainment. which contains nothing that would bring the blush of shame to cheek of modest maiden" They do not know whether the sheath gown would or would not. They never have seen the sheath gown. but they have heard about it. There is someting insidious, mysterious and dangerous about that new dress styie that is alarming to the committeeman

 Mr. Williamson mas transplanted many trees in Memphis, St. Louis. Louisville. and Detroit and has the record of never having lost a tree. He gathers them in from a radius of ak or eight miles about the spot they are to be planted. moving them at so much the tree. according to what has to be paid for 1t the distance carried and It's size. He has sent the owners who have engaged him for work here this winter (the york will go on from october to Aprll) pictures of avenues he has planted trees on in dif' ferent cities.
 He was in the city few days ago and while here commented on the number of beautiful trees in the city. but also said they were anything but well cared for and that the city ought to have a park commissioner to look after them. a man who Is an expert in forestry
 Among the property owners on South Perry street who will have trees planted on their property are: Messrs. J. S. Wilcox. o. Q. Nelson, J. c. virdin. A. NJ. Baldwin. F. 6. Ball. J. c. HAss. 4.

of the Southern Bitulithic Paving Company and read letters certifying to the excellent character of their work in many Southern cities
 Alderman Sullivan poked little fun at the bituiithic paving on Aontsom- cry street, stating that st the end of q year great portion Of 1t would pc found at the foot of Montgomery street encroaching on the preserves of the Basin.

 In a concluding lmpassioned appeal to the council. he declared:

 What the People. wspted.
 Alderman Moritz arose to impress upon the aldermen the necessity of considering environment and expedt- eney in choosing q pavement. He ex- pressed himself as being In favor ot the bituiithic because of the incline on Clayton street. declaring that with out doubt this pavement was safer than asphalt. especially in wet weatn- : CT. Tn the course of his remarks. MT. Moritz stated that in some instances some people must be regarded in the light of children who did not know what was good for them.
 The last statement innamed Alder man Johnson and as quickly as he could gain the floor he began: Does the gentlemen arrogate to himseif the fatherhood of the city?"
 The people had a right to choose for themselves ha declared. since 1t was their money which was being devoted to the work of improvement. And after speaking for about half sn hour on behalf Of the people. esps- cialiy the widows and the children, he declared:
 "Doubtess some of the citizsns of Clayton street are in their second childhood, but they have sense enough to adopt some of the aldermen"
 He compared the recommendation presented by the companies to en- dorsements of patent medicines. and stated that he was In favor of paving Clayton street with asphalt, the aual' itiss of which had been tested in the city.
 Alderman Parrish called attention to the fact that the majority ef the property owners on Clayton street were women and referred to their un- deniahie propensity for seeking bar. gains He held the opinion, he said. that they were in favor of asphalt be- cause of slightly less cost in that material. 5E
 Amy maa," he declared. "wf ether a merchandise broker or a pawing man ought to know that on q hillside bit. ulithlc paving Is superior to asphalt"
 Alderman Cunter took the floor to correct smoe expressions which had been uttered h regard to his stand on the question. He denied that he had made any promise. as had been al- legged during the course of the even- ing. In fls campaign for mayor which was Inconsistent with his position. In the following words he defined his position during the campaign on the issue of street paving;
 Unless the entire city demand it. no street will be paved agaiust the protest of the property ewners."
 After some further discussion, the majority report wes adopted, a mos ton for the adoption of the minority report having been lost. The council then adjourned.

LETTERS IN LOUISIANA.

New Orleans Pieayune.
 E The so-called leper colony Is an asylum or home provided by the State of Louisiana and maintained by 1t, where iepers are under the control of mild and humane regulations and re- ceiye regular and expert medical treat ment, with the result that not a few patients have been cured and the con dition of others amelioratej and im- proved. The institution Is governed by State board. and the internal ar arrangements are In the hands of a group of Sisters of Charity. The Lepers' Home of Louisiana occupies the buildings and a tract of land formerly part of large sugar pianta- ton. Additional buildings for the &C., commodation of the patients and at- tandants have been erected. All who are able to work or perform any use- tul service are so employed. while they have books. music. and all proper diversions for their leisure hours.
 But 1t Is not proposed that Louisia na shall undertake to care for all the lepers In the nation. Other States can do as Louisiana has done; and as for the United States government, 1t is it's bounden duty to take care Of its own soldiers ad sailors who have become Infected with the disease while on foreign service. and this care should be extended to all civilians who work ei for the government in those forign stations.
 wake up to the fact that their terri toriai possessions in tropical countries will in the course of time produce . numerous crop of lepers in the vari, ous states--North. South, East and West.

 The perplexity of the eommittseusn comes from the proposition of MaAasns Delaney of Cincinnati. to coma to Montgomery with ten youne iaales clothed in sheath gowns for sxhibi- ton purposes.

 They couldn't tell They couldn't agree about it after talking for three hours. The question Is open. The committee Is stiil agitated.
 This troublesome matter of the sheath gowns will be definitely settled. however, ct the next meeting of the Executive Committee.

UNIQUE UNDERTAKING IS TO BE-
 GIN SHORTLY.
Fuu Grown Trees From the Forests Will Be Moved to south MOat- EOmery Homes. on Court and
 Perry Street Extension.

Within a year if the present plans of property owners there are carried out. the South Perry street extension will be one of the prettiest parts of Montgomery. Naturally very at- tractive the property Is to be very much improved by the planting of full grown trees a thing. that in any quantity. if at all, has never been done in Montgomery before. The only present drawback to the place is the lack of shade trees and this fault is to he erased.
 Arrangements have been made with P. D. Williamson. of Memphis shade tree company to install several hundred trees at the place and the work is to start early next month. The machinery of the concern will be shipped here soon and of it's kind Is a new departure.
 Trees have been moved before this in many public parks of big cities, but almost invariably they are denud- ed of branches and roots in the move ment and 1t has taken years for them to Rrow out to anything like what was wished.
