 There were twenty-one present at yesterdays meeting when. the retiring Regent Mrss Tucker, gave @ very beau- tifui little farewell talk and spoke of the harmony in the chapter, of its in- terested workers, and the, meeting was almost .. love feast in its perfect and unanimous feeling of harmony and good Fellowship existing.
 Mrs. James o. Smith, the Recording Secretary, one of the valuable officers of the Chapter. made motion second- ed by Miss Meta Thompson and unan- fmously carried, for vote of thanks and appreciation to their retiring Re- gent.
 Mrs. Goode, who. when elected State Vice-Regent. resigned as Regent of the Mobile Chapter. and who was Chairman of the Executive Board, did e graceful thing at this meeting when she asked for the privilege of putting Mrs. Charles s. Shawhan. the former Vice. Regent of the Chapter, at the head of the Executive Board. This graceful courtesy Is only a slight tribute or Mrs shawhan's worth. as she is one -a a IA -.-~~ -t~ CTS and officers the Chapter can boast of. The other i've members of the Board are Mrs. Joseph St. c. Tucker. Mrs. A. w. Goldsby, Mrs. Thomas St John. Mrs. H. T. Touimin and Mrs 8. S. Rubira.
 The result of the election was as follows:
 Miss Meta Thompson. elected Re- gent.

 Miss Thompson takes the chair of Regent fully fortified and equipped to bring to the office mind stored with knowledge. an intellect quick and keen, and having always been one of the most efficient, enthusiastic and earnest members of the Chapter, the honor and office of Regent descends to the right one.
 Mrs. Goode concluded this love feast by Inviting those present to. tea on the Battle House veranda.--Mobile Register.

one Of the dramatic situations in the
case occurred last June wheh, after
Morse had been in prison seven
months, the United States circuit court
of appeals received a communication
from a score Of substantial citizens of
New York city Offering to furnish any
bail for Morse that might be asked,
and the court almost Immediately re-
sponded by admitting the prisoner TO
bail In the sum Of $l25 600, the substan-
tial citizens furnishing amounts rang
ing from S. 600 to $25OOO. The offer
was made i'm the morning, and the pris-
oner walked out Of the federal build
ing before the sun went down,
The summer was on its way, and
thousands were preparing to leave the
city on their annual vacations. Morse,
accompanied by his faithful wife, who
had disposed Of all her personal prop
crty to aid her husband during an in
vesugation of his affairs, departed with
the throng and wcnr down to his ma
tive state, Maine, as some supposed

was discovered that he had been busy

which steamers Morse had had built at

much for humans to xiii ont, so the
