THE MISSIONARY JUBILEE

An event of leading importance this evening to many women of many denom- nations is the Missionary jubilee. An admirable explanation of the reason for the jubilee is found in the following ar ticle taken from the Presbyterian:
 "The newest movement in the church is the Woman's National Foreign Mis- sionary jubilee, which has been sweeping across the continent from the Pacific to- ward the Atlantic, and will reach its eli max in New York in April.
 Did this marvellous movement begin the other day in Oakland, Cal. or ten years ago, when, at the Ecumenical con- ference in New York, the central com mittee on united study was formed, or 50 years ago, when Mrs. T. c. Doremus started what might be called the first women's club, the Woman's Union Mis- sionary society? 'Launced on the eve of the civil war by persons inexperienced in public saffairs, opposed by the clergy, without financial backing, this corporate body is now one of 40 boards with 9, 433 auxiliary missionary societies in the United States and Canada, which last year raised $S32S ,S40' In this inter-de- mothers and grandmothers learned their first lessons before it occurred to them to form boards within the limits of their own Christian communions.
 Skip 40 years and meet with a hand full of the women delegates to the Ecu menical conference on mission in New York in 1900, under the leadership of Miss Abby B. Child. at that time representing the woman's board of missions. They have ripped off from the general swirl of the conference into little eddy of their own to scheme for the study of missions, under the conviction that foreign missions is too vast subject simply to be read about
 "An nter-denominational committee Is formed, the first text book published, study classes spring mp apace. In ten years more than 6Oo.0OO of these text books have been sold.
 ''This years book is timely, a review of the 50 years of woman's organized work for foreign missions. To the cen tral committee on united study was vouchsafed a vision to which they have not been disobedient-no less thing than a celebration which should stretch from shore to shore Not fonder of dem onstrations perhaps. than are some of the rest of us, they nevertheless saw that after 50 years of quiet effective demon- stration in foreign lands, the time had come for national celebration at home

 The Birmingham Athletic club opens it's season every year quite early. As usual, this season began with a recep- tion and dance for the members and their friends, and the event took place last night. A thousand invitations were sent out and with the same interest that characterized the dances at this popular club last year and the year before, hun Greds were accepted.
 The reception committee included more than score of the leading members of the Athletic club. They were chosen from the officers and members of the standing committees. These gentlemen gave a genial welcome to the visitors and made the evening pleasant for everyone, formal reception was held downstairs from 8 to o'clock when the guests were given greeting. Punch was served here and Davidson's orchestra gave a varied and beautiful programme. The club looked most attractive with it's added dec- orations. The interior has been renewed this summer, partly under the direction of Mrs Solon Jacobs who consented to assist in the selection of paper and tapes tries for the walls as she was accom- plishing a similar task for the Country club-and the result is very artistic. Palms and other tropical paints were brought into use by the florists and heightened the effect of the attractive in terior.
 A dance followed the reception. While informal, there were several pretty CO., tillon figures introduced under the d- rection of Mr. J. Ed Miles. The dance was introduced with a grand march led by MT. Jack Walton. The younger folk predominated in the devotees of the dance, though there were many repre-. sentatives of the married set Among tn. chaperons were MT. and Mrs. Ed War ren, MT. and Mrs. John K. Warren, Mir. and Mrs. John Fletcher, MT. and Mrs. Albert Halsey Ford, MT. and Mrs. Wal ker Percy, MT and Mrs. Harrington EIef1in, MT. and Mrs. George T.

Etymologists who are seeking to prove the rule that patronymics originally had some relation to the physical attributes or occupation of the individual, may find shining example in the great band mas ter, MT. Frederick N. Innes. who opened q ten days engagement at the Alabama State fair yesterday afternoon, for MT. Innes certainly is the fore part of his last name, which with the addition of a small
 sized pronoun would resolve the situa- tion, to my way of coinng things into
 "Mr. In It," instead of "In-nes," for the gentleman is strictly 'in it. when it
 comes to musicianship and the art of suc- cessful conducting.
 | Perhaps nowhere is there to be found a
 more popular bandmaster than MT. 1nnes, for with a keen appreciation of classical
 as well as popular music, he has learned
 to present to a music loving public in
 the most finished style programmes which appeal to the cultivated as well as the uncutivated mind nor does he pay less attention to the present day music than he does to the more difficult style. It is a genuine pleasure to hear MT. Innes talk of his musical career.

 Before the advent of Uneeda Biscuit the only persons who ever tasted fresh, crisp soda crackers were the people in the bakeries.
 Imagine their trip from bakery to your table; exposed to air and mOisture-kept i'm grocers' boxes and finally in a paper bag on the shelf in your pantry. Could they be the same as they were the day they were baked?
 Now that we have Uneeda Biscuit-we have perfec ctly baked soda crackers perfectly kept.

, a director, but circumstances ordered It otherwise. I chanced during an expo sition in San Francisco to know MT. B. E. Cornwall who was the leader of the affair, and who became interested in my work. He talked with me about exposition music-the possibilities the broad field it covered--and I sug- gested that there was no reason why the San Francisco exposition shouldn't have as good music as any other in the country. MT. Cornwall invited me to luncheon the next day. When I ar rived I found representative body of men present, to whom the ideas that l had suggested the day before were made known. To make a long story , short, an offer was made me to con- duct a band at the next exposition. I declined. They insisted, giving me carte blanche to select my players-as many as I chose, and from wherever I wanted them. It was chance few young men, especially with my enthu- siasm, would turn down-and the result was my acceptance. I went east and selected my players, took them back to California, and the second act in the drama has me on the bills as band master. That was back in 1SS6--long time ago, wasn't it?"
 Are any of the original players with your band now?" asked.
 Not one," was the reply. "It's a cu- rious fact that when I started I was the youngest man in the band, and now I am the oldest. All my players are young. Musicians, like przefighters. must be young. It's no profession for old people,"
 "In comparison to selecting talent for an orchestra, do you find 1t less diff cult or more so, to secure good players for band?" I asked
 Tt is harder to maintain the high standard of a band than 1t is of an or chestra," said MT. Innes. Every first class orchestra must have good financial backing. That insures good talent, but with band 1t is different It has no fortuitous circumstances back of it in that respect
