Not since the opening of the social sea- son last fall has there been as little to chronicle of societys doings. The last of Lent is spent in shopping and making ready for the post-Easter season, which begins in less than two weeks. Charity Is the potent word in society. Although few entertainments have been given re- gently for charitable causes there is a good deal of planning for those to take place after Lent and meetings of the charity organizations have filled the week. The Boys club which will meet this morning will discuss plans for tag day." which soon will be observed It will be remembered that the citizens Of Birmfng-

The club Is one of the worthiest institutions in the city. 1t deserves and will have the sup port of every child loving and protecting citizen. Then the plans for the Tab leau- Vivant are progressing and society will soon be rehearsing for that. The rehearsas for the festival have already begun and will occupy the time of many who, during the social season are kept 1 busy with entertaining. There have until this week all during Lent, been small dinner parties and luncheons but even those have been put aside for more se- rious plans for the future.
 The marriage of Miss Nancy Johnston, which will be an event of today, has caused much entertaining for she is a popular and lovely bride. The affairs have all been of a quiet nature, however owing to Lent, even many being kept out of print at the hostesses' request, since she has. In many cases, been an observer of Lent. There remains less than two weeks of Lent and then there are many parties in prospect, number of engage ments to be announced, and then the weddings 1t is said that in New York city more attention has been given to charity during this season than ever be- fore in it's history. Entertainments for every conceivable form of charity have been given by society's exclusive circles. The Charity ball here will take place the Tuesday after Easter and will be att tended by society in the prettiest of Easter gowns and the occasion will be a memorable one. So 1t is the calm before the storm, and after Easter the whirl will begin and last until weary of 1t all, rest in the mountain or seaside will lure many away for the summer months.

TWO new YORK
EXCHANGES Will
fight FOR BUSINESS

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The war
between the New York ctock exchange
and the Consolidated is likely to de-
velop greater bitterness as a result
of the attempt which may be made
by the Consolidated to get control OF
large part of the arbitrage business
between New York and London. The
officers and directors of the little
board are discussing a plan to open
the exchange at o'clock, thus gain
ing an hours advantage over the big
exchange.
The Consolidated has in the last
two years taken a great deal of bust
ness from the big board. 1t has, how,
ever, out of Difference to that institu-
ton, followed its lead rather than an
tagonized it. Now, however, the small
exchange is thoroughly aroused and it
has strengthened itself sufficiently
to be a formidable competitor 1t is
adding new stocks to its list every
day, and it purposes to open a bond
department.
Recently the Consolidated has de-
veloped a practical monopoly of the
odd share business, for the reason
that the specialists on the floor of the
stock exchange refuse to sell odd
lots at anything like the quotations
for hundred-share lots. The result
has been that these commission
houses found that they could execute
these orders to better advantage on
the little board. In the period FOL
lowing the panic last year small in
vestors rushed into Wall street and
bought odd lots in enormous volume.
The Consolidated Exchange got a
great deal of this business.

troubled with displacements, inflam-

regularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing down feeling, flatulency,
Indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.

ailments, don't give up hope until you

said W. R. Gregory, of New York, "in
a report to the delegates, there were
only 12S,000 barrels of flour in ware
houses and stores of New York city,
as compared with 100000 barrels a
year ago. Twenty thousand barrels
are consumed every day in New York
and if our supply for any reason
should be cut off, you can figure it
out how long our bakeries would run"
Mr.. Gregory also declared the sup
ply of flour in Boston was $4,000 bar
rels below the normal.
H. T. Lawler reported that there
were only 100000 barrels of flour in
New Orleans, which was one-half the
normal amount in storage there.
Reports from other centers of the
same tenor startled the flour men. The
country reports bore out the predic-
lions of James A. Patten, it was de-
clared.

LIEUTENANT field
WANTS DETAIL At
STATE ENCAMPMENI
The Jackson News says:

Lieut.. Edgar l.. Field, of the S0th
United States infantry, who has just
arrived at his home in Hattiesburg
from the Philippine Islands on a leave
of absence of two months, has written
to Adjutant General Fridge request
ng detail here during the state en-
campment which begins on July IL,
his leave of absence expiring about
that time.
General Fridge will ask the war de-
partment to comply with the young
mans request, and believes it will be
granted.
Lieut.. Field is a native MISSISSIPPI
pi boy who has worked his way up
from the ranks and deserves much
credit. He has held two commits
sions in the state guard and attended
several state encampments as a mem
Der of it. His experience in military
affairs fits him for the work of lit
structor, and there can hardly be
any doubt that the war department
will issue the required order, upon
the recommendation of the adjutant
general
All preparations for the encamp-
ment will be resumed as soon as the
water subsidies around Idlewild Park,
and about the middle of July the
boys will begin practice work on the
grounds. Everything possible will be
done to make the state encampment
of this year the greatest the boys have
ever had.

CHICAGO, May 2S-The supply of
flour following the sensational ad-

shrunk almost to famine size. A start

was revealed in reports from various
large cities Of the country presented
at the seventh annual convention OF

If for any reason the big mills
should be closed down for more than
a week, a famine in flour, according
to the millers, would become a seri-

enough to supply their wants from day

The character of the entertainment;
whether an admission fee is charged;
the number of employees and charac-

whether there is illumination outside

crowds congregate outside the place;
whether there is a barker outside
