A letter was received yesterday from a clever woman journalist who told of a unique dinner party given by the au- thor, Rex E. Beach of New York, and Mrs. Beach recently in celebration of their wooden wedding anniversary Mr. Besch's dinner was characteristic in plan, of very clever person.
 It was given at the Chamberlain hotel at Old Point, where the Beachs were staying. Ten guests were included, and they sat about table the bare sur face of which were wooden plates to match, while the centerpiece was of pussy willows and American flags. Every avail able bit of the space was taken up with wooden souvenirs, such as toy ladies' guns, pistols, harps, dolls and puzzles
 Drink and the world drinks with you, swear off and you're let alone" was one of the many quips written by the author host on the wooden souvenirs scattered about. Another was, "A word to the wives is sufficient" And The wages of gin is breath" Among other notices were; Rats are royal raiment when worn for fashions sake" and "A switch in time looks fine' On a horn was written "Give me liberty or give me breath"
 Presents for the guests were brought into the dining room at intervals of 15 minutes much to the excitement of those who were not included in the party:
 The guests were: Capt. and Mrs. Ken neth Masteller, Y. s. A. Capt and Mrs. Alfred Maycah, Y. S. "A; Mrs Clarence Bunker, Mrs. Emma Jarvis, Detroit; Mrs N. H. Merri, Capt Elisha Abbott, Lieut. J. F. Walker and Lieut.. Clarence Seybt

unlikely that the woman suffrage advo- cates will submit resolution on the sub ject to that body. as they will prefer to take it directly to the convention, and thus avoid possibility of an adverse re- port by the board.
 'sThe conservative delegates believe that as an organization the federation can not indorse any issue that does not prop erly helong to its work. which is along ed ucational lines. The indorsement of sui frage would inject in the convention a political issue.
 '.The question will have bearing on the election of the new president and the ad- vocates of suffrage have been busily pur- suing their propaganda and seeking to enlist as many of the hesitant delegates as possible in favor of the candidate, who would give the most positive assur- ance of giving support to the movement.
 So important has this phase of the campaign become that the two leading candidates for president felt impelled to issue statements defining their position in the matter. These statements, issued late last night, are as follows:
 "'As woman's suffrage is vital issue before the women of America, and there seems to be some uncertainty about my position in the matter, I am glad to state that I am a member of the New York Equal Suffrage league and worker in the suffrage ranks. The General Feder- ation of Women's clubs has been, in my opinion, tremendous factor in educat- ing the women of America to think and work along civic lines and I believe they are ready for the ballot. tSigned)

Cracker Club Reaches
Birmingham; to Play
4 Games With Barons

II BIRMINGHAM, May tS.-The
r. Atlanta team, looking none
the worse for their protract-
ed engagement in New Orleans yes
terday afternoon, arrived in Bir-
mingham today and will take on
Carleton Molesworth's club this
afternoon in the first battle of
four game series.
Manager Hemphin is determined
that if possible he will get an even
break out of this series and thinks
he can do it.
Before pulling stakes in New Or
leans for the hike to Birmingham, the
Crackers tarried long enough at Pei
lean park to play four hours and 30
minutes of baseball, to an even
break.
The idiocy of nine inning games
in double headers was never more
brilliantly exemplified than in those
two contests The first one lasted
two hours and fifteen minutes. which
was too much baseball for any one af-
ternoon-and that goes for a sunday
afternoon in New Orleans Then came
a ten minute intermission And then
another two hour and fifteen minute
game Oh. it was grand sport!
The result was the inevitable even
break. Tommy Atkins was going
strong in the first game and got great
support So it was q cinch The
score was 9 to in the Crackers Ia
vor. In the second game conditions
we're reversed, 2 as usual. Wagner
pitched great ball against the ennuied
Atlantans. while Piggy paige was soft
for the bored Pelcans The outcome
