A party of 20 attended the matinee and show last night in Meridian, where the Clansman was presented. Several old veterans were present and pro- nounced it absolutely true to life as representing conditions during recon struction days.

 The council committee named some time , ago to investigate the claim of the saloon men who were forced out of business by the passing of the prohibition law for a
 return of a part of their license money
 made a report on the matter and recom-
 mended that the claims be not allowed. This will probably settle the question. although there is some talk of taking it
 into the courts for final adjudication. A message from Congressman Burnett today conveyed the pleasing intelligence
 that the bill introduced by him for the establishing of a federal court in this
 city had passed the House. This prac- tically assures the holding of the court here as the Senate will doubtless confirm the action of the House. This will mean 1 another story on the new federal building
 and an additional appropriation for that 1 purpose.
 The Business Mems club had it's reg ular monthly meeting last night and very interesting session was held. Among the things that came up for consideration was the matter of securing for Gadsden the recognition it deserves as separate mineral district. A committee was ap- i pointed to take up the question with the i state geologist. Resolutions were also adopted calling on our congressman to use his best efforts with the supervising architect to have Alabama marble used
 as the material for the construction Of i the new federal building.
 i A committee was appointed to call on ] the car works management and see if
 they could secure a labelling of the ears made here so that the city would receive i the advertising attendant thereto. Action was taken looking to the securing or
 more wholesale houses here, especially in l the dry goods and clothing lines The
 club is very active and numbers among i it's membership the most progressive pus-
 mess men of the city and much good IS
 hoped for through it's influence.
 The city council last night formally
 accepted the Moragne park. This means that provision must be made for its im- provement and maintenance. Action se-
 curing this will no doubt be taken at an early day. The property was donated
 to the city by Judge Moragne and Is an
 elegant piece of picturesque woodland on | the edge of the city. Its topography
 will admit of making most acceptaple
 pleasure ground at a small expense. The
 tract contains some ten acres and has a
 fine frontage on the river.
 Superintendent Brooks of this dlvislon
 of the Louisville and Nashville railroad
 was in the city yesterday afternoon and made arrangement with the management of the Gadsden Shovel company for put
 ting in a switch to the site of the new
 plant As soon as this can be done and 1 material assembled work on the new ln- dustry will proceed.

Queer Cases of Jilt.

A well known novelist WAS once jilt- ed by girl who took exception to the inadequate punishment meted out to one of his fictitious villains. She de clared that as he regarded vice with so lenient an eye he must himself be at heart a reprobate and unworthy of true love and that she must request that their acquaintance cease.
 An eminent lawyer in his younger days met with a similar mishap. The lady to whom he was engaged, chanc- ing to hear that he had delivered most skilifuI though futile speech in defense of an arrant rogue, wrote, saying that she must decline to know one who could thus strive to spacious ly excuse crime. In return he pleaded the exigencies of the profession, but in vain. The lady was obdurate and soon afterward, by the strange irony of fate, married man who was ulti- mately convicted of gross fraud, main ly through the forensic eloquence of her former lover.

The KaffeekIatsch,

The difference between a , o'clock tea and q German kaffeeklatsch Is enormous. The tea is a pleasant go- as-you-please meeting, where we bal ance our teacups in hand perilously handicapped by our multitudinous pos sessions, augmented by the frail saul cer on which a top heavy piece of cake finds an insecure resting place. We may enjoy a variety of creature com forts augmented by ices and cups on festive occasions.
 Not so the German KAffeeklatsch. That Is. a ponderous affair which you take sitting at tables. Coffee and sa- vories mark the beginning of the meal, followed by numberless cakes which the Germans know so well how to make. This is followed by some creamy preparation or a beautiful de vice made in ice. This again is sue ceeded by the choicest fruits.
 The Kaffeekanne is meanwhile still busily plying it's trade. There is a well known German song which ends with the refrain, freely translated: Thank you, thank you, hostess mine. I never drink more cups than nine."- London Queen.

The Fairy Hounds.

In some years stoats appear to be more numerous than in others, and they are seen not n ones and twos,
 but in dozens, hunting together in small packs. The late E. T. Booth of Brighton, when shooting in East Lothian one autumn, met a pack of stoats which attacked a terrier he had with him and would not be driven off until be and the dog between them had killed more than dozen. Stoats will hunt together from scent and in full cry like a pack of hounds, one al- ways keeping the line and followed closely by the others. This sight has been recorded by different observers, who have also seen weasels hunting in the same way. There is a popular mo- ton in the west of England that hares are hunted at night by packs of little fairy hounds. locally called dandy dogs" and these are said to be wea- sels, which the west country folks call fairies" pronouncfng the word "vairy'' and ''vair." Some of them de clare that they have seen and watched the chase with awe.-London Graphic.

 New Haven, May 15.-The sturdy athletes of Harvard and the sons of Old Eli will meet this afternoon at 3 o'clock on the Yale field in their an nual track meet which promises to be one of the most interesting and ex- citing contests held in many years. The Harvard delegation arrived yes terday and number of. their sup porters are expected this afternoon. While the team is in excellent condi- tion and many are optimistic regard ing the outcome.yet it is the concenSuS of opinion that Yale will win by 3 points. Manager Lelland of Harvard admitted that Yale looked the better of the two. Lightner, whose condition has not been of the best, will start in the two mile. The Yale fans are not doubtful of the outcome and while they concede most of the sprints to the crimson team fyet they are certain that their team will take all the hon. ors in the field events. The only run that Yale expects to win is the half their score by making good in other events,

Ominous,

When Julia, Mrs. Blanks maid of all work, came to her mistress and gave notice'' because she was going to be married, Mrs. Blank said:
 You know, Julia, that marriage is a pretty serious thing.'
 'Yes:m," replied Julia, but not git tin married is a more serious thing sometimes, don't you think? Anyhow, it'll be as serious for him as it is for me if we don't git along all right. But then, as you say, gittin' married is about the seriousest piece of bizness q body can ingage in, an mebbe I am q fool an mebbe he's bigger one. There's no tellin'.

MT. Brown who is a loyal sup porter of the Yale Club, appeared in the climb of a year ago with the late Cedrino, making the fastest time of the day. This year it is expected that he will give an exhibition climb, in stead of competing.
 A growing percentage of Yale stu dents are automobile owners and near ly every auto owner in the university is a member of the Yale club. Its climb last year was a most successful one. This year it is expected that every member of the club will partici- pate in at least one of the seven auto mobile events.
