one of the elements of success In any
large public undertaking is the selection
of chairman whose prestige, enthusiasm
and cleverness will convince the people
that the scheme is a worthy one, and is
really deserving of support.
With Mrs. George F. Harrington as
chairman of the womans chautauqua
committee of the Redpath chautauqua,
which will have its premier in Birming-
ham on next Monday evening, no better
choice could have been made.
Mrs. Harrington is prominent club
woman, public spirited, always affiliated
with all the progressive movements that
obtain in regard to education, intellectual
ity and the general uplift of this COM
munity, and gifted with the rare attribute
OF making friends wherever she goes,
friends who follow her in an undertake
ing of this kind help her to make it a
grand success.
The chautauqua idea is brand new here,
although nearly every other city in the
south has maintained 1t for many years
past.
1t is an innovation here pure and simple,
and it is up to the people of Birmingham
to give their hearty support to Its MAIN
tanaDce.
II am very glad to be able to tell the
public said Mrs. Harrington a few days
ago, something about the Redpath
chautauqua In the first place. a selection
of location was a difficult thing to be
determined for this big event, for you
must know that the seating capacity of
the tent which the Redpath people use is
2coo. Not small capacity, is it? In the
park adjoining the High school the tent
will be pitched, which will be the scene
of this rare intellectual treat"
I'm a commercial way, just what does
the chautauqua mean?' l asked.
with the same spirit of generosity that
always characterizes Birmingham enter
prses,'' was the answer, "all the pro-
ceeds over and above the guarantee will
be given to the AntiTuberculosis associa-
ton. a philanthropc work in which all
of Birmingham and the entire county is
interested"
Is the chautauqua designed to be a
permanent institution I inquired
THE same question was asked me sew
eral years ago when the Music Study club
announced the fact that Birmingham
needed open air concerts. and that the
club with the Endorsement and assistance
of the public would for the first time give
the people park music, this civic move
ment on the part of few has become
permanent institution, supported by the
club and the public; such will be the re-
suit of the chautauqua effort said Mrs.
Harrington.
"Monteagle and Chautauqua, N. " are
permanent national institutions to which
one may go for intellectual food, but the

States Broken and Ecclesias- tical Politics Rebuked at
 Presbyterian Assembly.
"NON-POLITICAL"
Church Not Committed to Theology of Princeton Or Union Sem.
 inary-May Concur.

Atlanta, May 15.-Slates were brok- en and ecclesiastical politics rebuk- ed by the General Assembly of the Northern Presbyterian church late this afternoon, when the Rev. John w. Stone, of Chicago, was chosen moderator by an overwhelming. ma jority.
 pDr. Stone was hardly thought of in connection with the moderatorship until he was placed in nomination as "non-political'' candidate by Very Rev. John R. King, of Monmouth, H. linois. The cheers that greeted the phrase "non-politicar showed the temper of the assembly, and indicated that Dr. Stone would be strongly supported. With Dr. Stones name added to the list of possible modera- tors, the nomination were closed with the Rev. Maitland Alexander, of Pittsburgh; Rev. William McKibben, of Cincinnatti; Rev. Howard A. John son, Bridgeport, Conn.,; and Rev $. $. Palmer, of Columbus, Ohio, in the contest.
 The result of the first ballot was: Stone, 314; Alexander, 2S5; Palmer, 114; Johnson, 65, and McKibben, 46.
 Palmer, Johnson and McKlben dropped out and the contest on the second ballot was between Alexander and Stone, the latter winning by a large majority.
 Many commissioners openly assert that the election of Dr. Stone is q stinging rebuke to political methods in church affairs. It is alleged that both Er. Alexander and Dr. Palmer were supported by machines" which had been at work in their interest for months.
 It is also asserted that the election of Dr. Stone indicates that the church is no to be committed irrevocably to the ultra conservative theology Of l Princeton or to the ultra-radical theo- logy of Union Seminary, as would i have been the case had either Dr Alexander or ,Dr. Palmer been elected 1 There is much speculation as to whether the northern, southern and united assemblies and the associates reformed synagogue all in session here, will unite in joint declara-
