DIAMOND HEELS?

Diamonds, Mrs. Anthony said, are her birthstones; that's why she is so fond of them. About her neck was a collar of Il big cameoss She has one so large that when she came away from Havana last winter two jewellers of the place came aboard the ship and asked to be allowed to look at it. But it is of the diamonds she is especially fond, and she has a big collection of them. As for the slippers, of course there are more than one pair with real diamonds on them. One pair has diamonds about the heels and another has the brilliants cleverly worked in lace and so on. Whether they were insured she would not say, nor would she tell how s'ie guarded her jewels. The slippers came over from Washington by express.
 Mrs. Anthony admitted that to a certain extent she designs her own costumes. She suggests the ideas to her dressmaker in Muneie. Ind, and. by the way, that dressmaker goes to Paris every year. But then Mrs. Anthony is not partial to Pa risian things, except. of course, one may get ideas from over there and then de- yelop them along original lines. As for herself. she believes in dainty things and delicate colorings. Oh, yes, she wore the hobble skirt last summer, but as for the 'pannier,' she is not quite sure. Still, 1T 1t is the extreme of style,, of course she will take 1t up, as she believes in taking advantage of the mode of the hour to it's fullest extent and perhaps going it a little better.
 No, she never buys dresses in New York Of course, New York things are pretty, but then she is used to her own dressmaker and she prefers to give or- ders to her. The dressmaker knows her tastes. She will stay only two weeks in New York, because she has an appoint ment with the dressmaker in Muncie, and it must be kept at all hazards. When she is not in Muncie she visits the fashion, able resorts Last winter she was in Florida, and then she was in Washing ton for long stay. and while she has never visited Europe it is probable she will go this summer.
 Mrs. Anthony is not widow.
 In dispatch to the Sun from Muncie. Ind, last night Mrs Anthony's husband IS quoted as saying of the diamonds she wore on her heels in Washington: You can buy that kind of gems at about w a quart Al the time MT. Anthony was talking with the township assessor.

FRIENDSHIP
By Emerson.

 A ruddy drop of manly blood
 The surging sea outweighs; The world uncertain comes and goes; ~The lover rooted stays. fancied he was fled And, after many a year, Glowed unexhausted kindliness,
 Like daily sunrise there. My careful heart was free again; friend. my bosom said, Through thee alone the sky is arched Through thee the rose is red: All things through thee take nobler. form And look beyond the earth: The millround of our fate appears
 A sunpath in thy worth. Nee, too. thy nobleness has taught To master my despair; The fountains of my hidden life
 Are through thy friendship fais. as:. 4,

Concerning Local Politics

.sThe recent primary election said a well known democrat who was not can didate, T fear has caused some bitter feeling. It is charged, and by many be- lieved, that a certain element of the voters organized and got together with the understanding and for the purpose of defeating all candidates who had voted against the ratification of the proposed constitutional amendment placing prohi- biton in the organic law and all who had voted for the well known democratic pfin- eple of local option.
 "The result of the election tends strong
 y to prove that some such organization existed and that it accomplished it's pur- pose of electing only straightout prohi- bitionists, except in one or two instances. I heard one gentleman declare that under no circumstances would he vote for local optionist and he further said that all prohibtionists were like minded with him. do not know whether he Is correctly in- formed or not: but if such is the intention and purpose of the prohibitionists, they have no moral right to vote in demo- cratic primary. It is useless to argue with men who will do an immoral act to carry cut what they call moral reform. They will not understand that man may be local optionist and at the same time vote against the sale of liquor in saloons Unless we had the option, we could not vote one way or the other when the ques. ton of the sale of liquor was submitted l to the people of county.
 -r- f it be true that its results were obtained | by an Organization such as l have de scribed, independent candidates are in vited by that fact. If men calling them selves democrats go into the primaries and control them in the interest of polio, which the democratic party has often re. pudiated, 1t is high time to return to ths old fashion convention and in that selec' worthy men who are in all respects lem ocrats If the question of prohibition ! must be contested in every election, le | it be done openly and candidly. If pro hibitionists cannot submit to the princl
 ples of local option, let them in all homes ty cease to be democrats, organize thell own party and nominate their own can didates. Then every voter win know wha
 the issue is and can vote as his judg ment dictates. l am local optionist be cause I am a democrat; and in the pri mary I voted for two men whom I linev to be prohibitionists. Had I known tha local optionists were being prescribed il that election, I certainly would not hay'
 voted as did''

Some Impressive Features

T wonder if the people of Birmingham have really stopped to figure up what islz has in store for this city?' said Frank H. Bell, the advertising man, last night. For many years prospects have not looked as bright as they do. right now and before 1913 rolls round Birmingham will be on the greatest legitimate boom that this country has ever known.
 Real estate is active. Big deals and small deals are being closed daily, and you cannot pick up a newspaper wlthoul seeing the account of some large real es- tate transaction, such as for instance, the sale of the Peerless corner Saturday.
 ''The building prospects are wonderful. Two hotels of the sl 100000 class are cer- tainty. the American Trust 20 story build- ing is nearing completion, the Y. M (. A. is about completed. new theatre IS to be built on Third and Eighteenth, three or four apartment houses are certainty the Graves block is in course or con struction, the Hood hotel Is advancing rapidly, the Realty company is to spend over S1 00O,O00 in conjunction with the Louisville and Nashville railroad, the
 
 mense sums double tracking in and around Birmingham, there are several large warehouse propositions planned or on which work has commenced, R. D. Bur nett is to build a six story warehouse and wholesale store on Second avenue, and there are any number of residences be- ing constructed.
 '.These are facts, not guesswork, and 1t seems to me that they furnish the ma terial for the greatest boosting campaign that any southern city ever had. Think of the effect of sending actual figures like these all over the country They would create an impression that would turn many eyes toward Birmingham, more es- pecially as the city is gaining such world wide reputation now through Oscar Gn- derwood The time is ripe for Birming- ham to hit the publicity market, and hit it good and hard. with an array of figures that no other southern city can approach

the Cincinnati orchestra and II VIII DO two years before his contract expires. But the conductor, because or what ne considered a serious slight on the part of the festival association, threatenea to resign. Prominent music lovers or Cincinnati are begging him to remain and he may do so. but the friction that Is now in evidence is unfortunate iot the festival city, to say the least
 "The late Theodore Thomas had con ducted all of cincinnatfs festivals rom the beginning, with ons exception De- 'lieye. up to the time of his death. He was a great favorite in Cincin- natl and having done pioneer wefk there no one ever thought of critlcis- Ing the festival management for en- gazing him. But if Thomas orchestra got the contract as a matter Of sentl- ment because of the name of the Cnl- cago organization it was case or car rving sentiment too far. The Cincinnati festival is an established institution, but just such action as the association managers took in going outside Tor an orchestra certainly endangers the iu- ture of that institution"
