ATTRACT REUNION VISITORS

that were thinly occupied by the depleted
Confederate force, and fought their way
to the crest. At the close of the day
the Confederates had retreated and their
enemies were In full control of the ridge.
Some of the most desperate fighting OF
the war was done at the battle of Mission
ary Ridge. The exploits of Bate, Gle
burne and Cheatham In this battle are
familiar to readers of history. 1t has
been said that the loss of the battle of
Missionary Ridge was more disastrous to
the Confederates than their failure to
win a decisive victory at Chickamauga.
Students of the Chattanooga campaign
who hunt for causes of defeat believe that

pulsed the Federais at this engagement

GENEROUS RESPONSE
TO QUAKE SUFFERERS

Guatemala City, Guatemala, March IA
Government authorities and the public
are responding generously with funds and
supplies for the relief of the sufferers
from the earthquake which occurred last
Saturday in southern Guatemala.
The destruction was limited to Cuilapa,
In the department of Santa Rosa, and to
the buildings on the plantations in that
department. At Cuilapa there was con-
siderable loss of life..
1t is presumed that the earthquake wa
accompanied by an eruption of the vol
cano Izalco, in Salvador, as loud explo-
sions were heard when the shocks oc-

BRYAN TO STUDY
THE CIVIL SERVICE
To Consider Its Application
to the Consular
Service

Washington, March 1.-THE civil
service as applied to the consular serv-
ice of the government is a subject that
will be studied thoroughly by Secre-
tary of State Bryan in the near fu-
ture, and 1t is expected the matter will
be taken UP with President Wilson as
soon as its effectiveness is deter
mined.
1t has been reported to Mr.. Bryan
that of the candidates for consular po-
sitions who have passed the civil serv-
Ice test and those now occupying posts
under civil service appointments, 95 per
cent are republicans That only 5 per
gent of the successful applicants were
democrats, administration leaders are
inclined to regard as somewhat un
usual.
Secretary Bryan said today, however,
that many things of more pressing
Importance were enga ging his and the
Presidents attention just at this time.
The consular service" said Mr. Bryan.
''can wait until other things of more
urgent Importance have been deter
mined. 1t will be considered thorough

Mile Lucia I.acosta, who will sing in
birmingham this week in concert under
the auspices of Pelham Chapter. L. ID. c.,
is woman Of unusually interesting per-
sonality. She was a passenger last sum-
l1ier on the now historic "Carpathia." This
is the ship it will be recalled, which
picked up the Titanic sufferers. The saw
ing of the unfortunate victims from the
Titanic brings to mind interesting ex-
periences she had.
Three incidents stand out most promi-
nently in her mind in connection with
the vessel viz: birth, death and a
case of smallpox.
The birth was of baby girl in the
steerage, whose christening in honor of
The ships name that she was given
helped to break the monotony of the third
day of the voyage.
The death occurred to wealthy gentle
man of the first cabin, who was found
dead in his berth one morning just after
leaving Gibraltar from what cause could
not be learned.
Solemn as are the rites of the dead
when laid to rest in the cold ground,
they are more awe-inspiring still, when
with barred heads the officers of the ship
lower the body into the great deep waters
of mid-ocean.
The case of smallpox developed soon
after setting sail from Naples. To pre-
vent contagion, every person on board,
man, woman and child had to be vacci-
mated, much to the terror of one particu-
lar red-headed boy who fought like
wild animal, when the officer came to
take him in to the doctor.
As no other case of the disease broke
cut during the trip, passengers sustained
no further inconvenience except a nights

ROADS AND BRIDGES
WASHED OUT BY RAIN
Rainfall of Past Four Days
Breaks Record in South
Alabama

Mobile, March Especial )-Reports
from all sections of south Alabama and
Mississippi indicate that the rainfall of
the past four days has broken the rec
ord of many years. Roads and bridges
have been washed out and an immense
amount of damage done to early vege-
tables. Near Chunchula. Mobile county,
a section of the track of the Mobile and
Ohio was washed out and a small trestle
carried away. causing serious delay to
train schedules. The Alabama and Tom
bigbee rivers are rapidly nearing flood
stage, and reports are to the effect that
the owlands along both rivers have been
Inundated.
In Mobile the precipitation from Sunday
night to I o'clock this morning totalled
s. 43 inches. but reports indicate that it
was much heavier In the interior. Flood
warnings will probably be issued today for
both the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers.
The precipitation continues heavy ON ac-
count of the torrential rain.

MR.. AND MRS. LATHROP
FRIDAY EVENING HOSTS

large amount of cleverness and some
unexpected histrionic talent were discov-
cred last evening in the suffrage play
presented by party of young people for
the entertainment of the members of the
Highland Book club and their husbands
Every few years the Book club gives
an entertainment of rather more than
usual elaborateness, and the husbands of
the members are invited. Last night such
an affair was consummated at the home
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Holland Lathrop,
who were hosts for the evening. A play
was agreed upon novel form of en-
tertainment and as progressive people are
all informing themselves upon the SUBJ
ject of Woman Suffrage that spicy little
English comedy, "How the Vote was
Won," which was given with tremendous
success last winter by the fashionable
Junior league of New York city, was
produced for their entertainments
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Lathrop was
converted into small theatre, with the
front doors closed and entrance effected
by the guests through the French window
of the library. AS the house is of CO.
lonial design, with the straight stairway
/ of the period in the centre of the hall
between library and music room, an ex-
celent view was had of the improvsed
stage from the two rooms, and seats on
the stair were also regarded as a choice
vantage from which to view the enacted
comedy. The participants, under the cap
able direction of Mr.. Hugh Martin, gave
a creditable performance. Programmes
had been handed the audience by little
Miss Eva Lathrop and two friends, Miss
Betty Woodson and Miss Olivia Robin
son.
The young women, who had a part in
the success, of the production were Miss
Serena Kirkpatrick Miss Amelia Worth
ington, Miss Ellie Gordon Robinson, Miss
Clara Lee Woodson. Miss Lillian Orr,
Miss Harriet Fits and Miss Edith Bow
ron. There were but two men in the
cast-Judge Clement Wood. the principal,
who proved a spirited and tremendously
realistic parsonage, and Mr. Frederick
Gardiner, who was also erninently clever
The members of the Book club, who
are among the representative women in
local clubdom, were all In attendance,
and the gentlemen who were with them
were delighted with the successful even-
ing. the social aspect OF which was not
its least charm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lathrop are delightful In
the role of host, and she was unusually
pretty in her crystal evening gown. At
the conclusion of the programme tempt
ing buffet supper was served.

HELPS for the Sick

may not be amiss in the Helping Hand
Corner. so here they are:
"Fever Drink.-The juice of one
lemon, one teaspoon cream of tartar,
one pint of water Sweetened with loaf
sugar. Let patient drink freely when
thirsty.
Mustard Plaster.-when making a
mustard plaster use no water whatever,
but mix the mustard with the white OF
egg and spread on linen cloths. Using
water blisters the skin.
Sage Tea.-Sweetened with honey,
it is good for sore throat, Use as a
gargle, with small bit of alum dis
solved in it.
"FlaXseed Lemonade.-Four table,
spoons naxseed (whole), one quart boil
ing water poured over the faxseed,
peel. Sweeten to taste Steep three
hours in covered pitcher. ii. C. N"

things that are not tribes" since they
