A FALSE PREDICTION

Mime. Cleo, prima-donna so- prano of the Rush opera company, sat before the long table in her dressing room making up" for the evening performance.
 A dash of rouge, a dab of powder, myriad beads of blue cosmetic along the slender edge of her blond eye lashes. and she was transformed from a plain, middle-aged woman into a radiant vision of youthful beauty. Suddenly a shriek, sound- ing from the stage, startled her.
 Scream after scream went up from the chorus of fairies gathered for the opening tableau. Madam's first thought was of fire; catching up her chamois bag of jewels, she made a dash for safety, but the scene which her open door disclosed treasured her.
 1t was no fire. It was only an &C., cident to one of the chorus girls. h. differently she would have turned back to her preparations, but she spied the manager, Lynn Rush, striding through the excited crowd.
 What is it ?" she called to him.
 Rigging broke; one of the girls killed, l suppose he answered, shortly.
 "Her own fault, probably" she flung back. 'The 'frefly girls are too careless. Don't let it annoy you ; come in moment, Lynn"
 He paid no attention to the honeyed invitation; he had long ago sounded the depths of Mime. Cleo's

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER.
Three Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens in Existence, Accord
 ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as a national institution many years ago, the adoption coming about mere- ly by way of a popular choice. It is a common flower all over Europe, but rather more prolific in Germany than in any other of the countries graced by it.
 Botanists tell us that there are no less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but the plant that is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser is said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire it for the richness of its wreath-like circle of outer florets and the splen- dors of its deep azure tints as it opens to the sun.
 At one time German scientists at tributed certain medicinal properties to the corn flower, and its blue blos- homs were used also to some extent in domestic dyeing, but latterly these properties are not so much credited to it.
 Although Germany lays claim to the finest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci- mems of the corn flower. It is said to have been brought to this country first in the ballast of ships in the days antedating the modern ocean flyer, which carries only water bal last. In this country it is variously known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle. Witches Bellies or Thim. bles. Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

BLOSSOMS THAT DO NOT MIX
Florist Tells of . Few Thinos He Has Learned In Ills Business of
 Handling Flowers.

The florist frowned as he took up an order for table decoration. That will never do," he muttered After calling up the customer and suggest ing change, he told his new clerk a few things.
 You must never take an order that calls for mixture of mignonette and roses" he said. "A centerpiece of those two flowers wouldn't last half through the luncheon. They simply wilt one another. I don't know why, but they can't get along together.
 Tt is true of many flowers. Pansies. for instance, last twice as long as if they are not combined with any other flower, and the same may be said of vio1ets. Jonquils and daffodils. on the other hand, seem to get new lease of life If you combine considerable green with them. Carnations will go all to pieces if you combine them with roses, although the roses do not seem to be affected.
 Tt is more striking in combinations of green with flowers. If you try to use an entirely different type of foliage from what the flower is used to. 1t won't last so long. So never put feathery foliage with lilies of the valley. for you know its natural foli. age Is thick leaf. 1 never use thick leaves with carnations, for their foli- age Is of the feathery type It isn't as though the flowers fought, but they seem to grieve at being misunder- stood"

breathing. TO all appearances the girl was lifeless; it had been a cruel fall from the flies.
 ''Here," he called to some of the men, "help me to carry her into Cleo's room."
 They lifted her gently and bore her to madam's door. The star dressing room was on the stage, only a few feet away, but madam was in no mood to play the role of nurse to mere chorus girl. She raised her voice in loud objections, until Rush, disgusted, bade the men bring a carriage at once.
 "Does anyone know who this young woman is?" he asked.
 Several of the girls told him.
 "Amy Ames; she lives at 19 Well ton court, with her blind mother" And some one added:
 ''She is her mothers only SUD- port What a pity if she is killed"
 Lynn Rush, man of the world. theatrical manager, and as selfish as such a life is inclined to make one. felt something like pity stir his heart. She was pretty little crea- ture lying there, white and helpless, against his breast. The carriage had come; without reasoning why, he stepped in with his unconscious burden, gave the address to the driver and slammed the door.
 "What a pity if she is killed" he repeated. "Poor little fotsam upon life's ocean," And he caressed the hand that lay Imply against his knee.
 She struggled to sit up and he helped her; in the darkness of the carriage he could see her extreme pallor, the weakness which assailed her, but she made a brave effort. miling faintly as she told him that she Eas better, asking where she was, where they were going.
 He told her.
 ''Oh, but I must not go home" she exclaimed in distress. My mother--it would frighten her; and l cannot lose nights salary! Please take me back"
 "You are not fit to work. Be- sides," he added, kindly, "you shall not lose a nights salary"
 Are you Mir. Rush? thought knew your voice"
 So, she had known his voice, and he, self-centered cad, had not known of her existence.
 It was a long ride to Melton court, but Lynn Rush felt that it was too short. He ought to be in the ''front of the house" at that mo- ment, still it was with reluctance that he left her in the care of her blind old mother, after being as- sured that no fracture had been sus- tained
 Never again was Amy permitted to be drawn up into midair as a ''frefy;" Lynn Rush looked after her so closely that Mme. Cleo ne- came alarmed fearing the waning of her own influence.
 A month passed; Amy had been given small part and sang it so well it was suggested by Rush that she take the understudy for the prima donna.
 When Cleo heard of this she sent for Miss Ames, all the arrogance of her nature flashing from her eyes. "Ah, my dear," the tone was sweetness as of distilled nectar.

MONTHS REPORT ON
 ON BOYS CLUB
HEAVYWEIGHT BoYs WERE GIVEN SUBSTANTIAL ASSIST. ANcE DURING MoNTH-HoMEs SECURED FOR SEVERAL.

The report of the Boys club for last month denotes renewed activity in that organization and contains several inter. esting points. Here are a few extracts from the report, which has been sub- mitted to Mrs. James Weatherly, presi- dent of the board of control:
 During the month of March your of cers have been called upon to spread their efforts little more than usual Twenty-eight boys and several girls, who were placed in unfortunate circumstances were given definite attention. Six of these were placed out temporarily in homes. At present we have 12 boys for whom we are looking for homes. In some cases lney have been provided with cloth ing, and many were tided over hard places
 Chapter No. l has placed their hand some wardrobe in the office, and it is of good service.
 "An average of four boys per night have used the dormitory. Positions have been provided four boys. The rooms and baths have been used by an increased number of lads.

penominatlonal Schools.

"One of the important events of last week was the determination to form the association of denominational college presidents" said pr. A. P. Montague. "At our meeting Dr. Wallace Buttrick. sec retary of the general education board, made an interesting talk on the origin of the great colleges and universities of the United States. The committee named to draw up the constitution and by laws consisted of s. M. Hosmer, Sterling J. Foster and myself.
 Tt was the unanimous opinion of those present that an organization be formed, whose purpose should be the promotion of denominational education in Alabama.
 ''The permanent officers named were: Dr. s. M. Hosmer. president: Dr. Sterling J. Foster, vice president; President A. w. Tate, secretary and treasurer; Prof. John c. Dawson, assistant secretary and treas urer. An executive committee was elect ed, consisting of myself as chairman; pr. s. M Hosmer, pr. J. H. Mccoy. Dr. Sterling J. Foster Dr. Walton of Talla- dega.

CATHOLICS CROWD
 COMMUNION RAIL
GREAT THRoNGS AT LEADING CATHOLIC CHURCHES = BRIL- LIANT CEREMONIES AND RICH MUSIC AT ST. PAUL'S.

The Catholic churches were thronged worshippers hundreds of non-Catholics attended high mass.
 At the church of Our Lady of Sor- rows the number of the faithful receiv- ing holy communion was unusually large and the services at 10 o'clock were full of interest and altogether impressive. The music was said to have been excellent.
 There were four masses, as usual, at St. PauTs and it is estimated that the total attendance at these masses was about 5000 The spacious edifce was filled at the 6:s0 mass and as the con- gregation surged out another great crowd was pushing in to attend the second mass beginning at 7.30. The Knights of Columbus, with full ranks, marched to the 7:30 mass in body and received corporate communion. At the two early masses those who knelt at the sanctuary rail for holy communion were counted by hundreds. The pas- tor, the Rev. Father Coyle, said that 6Ci0Ohi hoo ehciO oOOh oo iiic'As ~S ~OiaA- munion in a single day.
 The mass for Sunday school children was begun at g o'clock, and at 10;30 solemn high mass was celebrated. The Rev. Father Piercsall was celebrant, the Rev. Father Matthew Thompson, O. SI B., was deacon and the Rev. Father Coyle was subdeacon. MT. John Ant wine acted as thurifer and master of ceremonies. The high altar and the side altars were profusely garnished with flowers and were brilliant with lighted candles. The cermonies were singularly imposing. Father Thompson preached short but animating sermon; and the music rendered by choir and orchestra under MT. Memoli's direction, was exceptionally attractive. Memolfs mass No. was the principal work, and for offertory Lambilotte's "Al1elnia" anthem, at once florid and beautiful, was sung with orchetral accompani- ment.
 The services at St. Paul's concluded with the regular Sunday evening devo- tions at 7:30 o'clock.

A Convention City

Birmingham is already known as a convention city and it is becoming more popular every year in that re- spect. It has entertained large national bodies; and conventions of national scope will be oftener in evidence here when the city has more hotels.
 Of the conventions confined to the limits of the state that of the Ala bama Educational association, which held it's annual meeting here last week, was the largest and most representa-. tive. About 25OO people, who are en- gagged in educational work, gathered in Birmingham and 1t is safe to say that no crowd of visitors ever re. ceived more hospitable treatment Every man and woman returned home speaking words of praise for Birming ham. The success of the meeting, iron l DOLn dlo 6OSldl pOlIti of view, has added greatly to the city's reputation as a convention place and will make it all the easier to secure other large gatherings.
 A few years ago there was an i'm pression among many people living al distance that Birmingham, as com munity, was so engrossed in the pur suit of business as to give little at tention to things not related to the dollar. Never was there more CT roneous impression. While this is the industrial center of the south, and one of the busiest cities in the country there was never time when It's cit izens were not more than glad tc welcome all conventions and delega tions, and Birmingham can ask nc better advertisement than the unstinr ed praise of visitors.

IN HOTEL LOBBIEs
The Crowded Courthouse.

Tn the course of a comparatively short time Jefferson county will be forced to do something to relieve the present crowded condition of it's court house." said a man well known about the courthouse, who declines to have his name used in connection with an interview, "and I see no reason why the present conditions should be per- mitted to exist longer than necessary. busy.
 There are number of reasons why this matter should be carried forward at once, but the one big question is that everybody is poorly accommodated in whatever capacity he may be serving the county.
 "The jurors above all others probably suffer the most, and the first steps taken should be made toward fixing comfortable quarters for the men who really try the cases. When a case is concluded the jury is crowded off into little room, badly ventilated and un- comfortable, and if the case calls for lengthy deliberation, at night the jurors are packed off to a secondclas hotel to remain there until morning.
 If nothing else is done at present an addition should be erected in which the juries might have comfortable le quarters. It is a mistake to ever let a jury leave the courthouse, anyway, because 1t cannot be known when mem bers are being influenced by those in- terested in the case when 1t Is nee essary for a jury to have to walk some distance from the courth ouse to a hotel.
 An addition should be built to the present courthouse and first of all bed rooms should be arranged for the juries. If the county sees fit to go further than this and arrange for additional court rooms and offices, and then put the jail on top of the building, Isbelieve 1t will meet with the approval of the people"

Substantial Improvement.

Hast fall we heard much about bus mess conditions improving said Fred erick B. Daniels of Chicago, "but the im- provement was not substantial. There was a disappointment all around. Since then business in the north and east has been greatly depressed. But now there is talk of improvement again. The trade situation Is certainly better than it was two weeks ago and the best of it is that the improvement this time is substantial.
 Recovering from depressed conditions has been slow and halting, but it is com ing now in way that means a steady revival. With fairly good crops this sum mer, business will be active and by the fall I expect to see a high degree of prosperity. We are surely on the road to new era of development and bound less thrift"

Mr. Murdook's Call for Deposits

Congressman Victor Murdock is can fidslt that next winter he will ba able to call Tn from 2e states the deposits of surplus revenues made under the act of 1S36 The following amounts were deposited with the states: Maine, s955,00O; Mary land, $915 010; New Hampshire, sse9,00o; Vermont. S669,000; Massachusetts, S1,33s 900 , Connecticut, s765,0O0; Rhode Island, s3S2,000; New York, s4,015,0OO; Penn sylvania, s2,SeS,OoO; New Jersey, S765,- 900: Ohio, s2,O07,o ,oO0; Indiana, $S6O,- 900; Illinois. s47S,OOO; Michigan, s2S7,- 900; Virginia, $2,199,O ,OOO; North Car olina, $1,444,00O; South Carolina, s1,- 051.0O0; Georgia, $1,051 ,000; Alabama, $669,000; Louisiana, s47S,0O0; Missis- sippi. s9s2,0O0; Tennessee, $1,424,OOO; Kentucky, $1,4S4,OOO; Missouri, $9S2,- 900; Arkansas, $2S7o0O; Delaware, S287,0OO.
 If his bill should call for the re- turn of the money with interest the 26 states would have to enter the loan market. Even at per cent Alabamas bill would be about $3,000,000, and there is no such amount available in the treasury or in sight
 The 26 states should get together in support of an income tax, for an income tax would rob MT. Murdock's s bill of it's ginger. An income tax would overcome the deficit and fill the treasury, and those things would take all excuse for a call on the 26 states for money deposited 70 years ago.

EleCtri6CatiOn of Railroads

The New Haven railroad has been fully equipped with electric motors from New York to Stamford, a dis. tance of about 40 miles. It is con ceded that this piece of identification is successful-so inncn so that big power house is to be built on the Housatonic river and the electrifica. tion extended to New Havtn. making the total length 73 miles. The round houses along this crowded stretch of track are to be redtted fer the stnrage of electric motors, and the smoke pro- ducers are to be driven to less pop- ulrus districts.
 This work on the New Haven rail road shows what is coming on all first-class railroads in the course of the next ten years. Electrification is surely coming, and all railroad man. agers know it. MT. Hartman decries it chiefly because of the expense in- volved. but he reluctantly admits it Is coming. The people of Chicago are clamoring for it. So are many other localities and sections.

Given Farewell Dinner.

Characterized by the good fellowship and joviality of most travelling men the dinner given in the private dining room at the Hotel Hillman Saturday night by the boys, complimentary to Alden M. Wallace was one of the happiest of oc- casons" said one who was present.
 'sThe travelling men making Birming- ham their headquarters will surrender their claim upon the man who Is so pop ular among them on Wednesday night when MT. Wallace will be welded to Miss Rita Evans. As an occasion of fare-you-welr the dinner was rendered to MT. Wallace by his friends.
 "A score of guests were assembled to pay MT Wallace honor and the event was an exceptional one. The dinner was one of eight courses and the menu was very attractive. The table was elaborately decorated with roses and carnations which were sent to Miss Evans after the dinner.
 Clyde W. Ennis acted as toastmaster and many happy as well as brilliant toasts to MT. Wallace and his prospective bride were responded to. Through the kindness of Manager o. F. Gould of the Majestic theatre the guests were enter tained by two of the most excellent singers on the vaudeville stage, Miss Levers and Miss Ada Mitchell. Miss Mitchell sang If I had a Thousand Hearts," and, at the conclusion of the supper, "Auld Lang syne.''

Planting the New Crop

April is the month in which cotton seed is put into the ground. Some seed Is planted in March, but outside of Texas April is the planting month in the cotton fields. Too little rain in Texas and too much rain outside of Texas rendered March planting this year difficult if not impossible, and the present month will, therefore, be utilized to the fullest possible extent in planting cotton with some incidental planting of corn. Thus far 1t cannot be said that the starting of the new crop has been favorable, but the pres ent weather is enabling the farmers to hurry on preparations for plant ing and the planting itself.
 The sales of fertilizer tags in this state point to preparations for an other 13,O00 ,000-bale crop, but the out come depends upon the weather of the next seven months. All that can be said at present is that the farmers are planting freely for large crop, and the seed will probably be put in the ground this month, for the weather is now highly favorable.
 The world needs a crop of 13,OO0, ,0o' bales grown in this country, and it will be fortunate indeed if it gets 8 crop of that size, for the pranks of the weather clerk are to be taken into consideration.
