During the past week. when Birming- ham has had the pleasure of entertaining the large number of delegates to the Woman's Christian Temperance union convention. many splendid and notable women have taken part in the pro- gramme, but none has made more beau tiful impression or a more lasting one than Mrs. Ella A. Boole, the vice presi- dent of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union.
 Mrs. Boole Is woman of great charm and beauty, her sweetness and sincerity. her genuineness and loyalty to the great cause for which she is working marking her as one of the foremost women of the day-a woman whose influence is felt from one end of the United States to the other in temperance and church work
 Mrs. Boole is a pioneer in the life work she has chosen, having served 90 years as an advocate of temperance, beginning when she was little more than a girl, later marrying a noted minister, and after his death assuming even a more important part in the national work of temperance than ever-before.
 Mrs. Boole took q prominent part in the memorial services during the convention here her tribute to these of her co-work- CTS who have ''joned the mute majority being one of the most beautiful and tender sentiments ever expressed on such an oc- casion.
 Her address on Wednesday evening was the feature of the convention and her strong personality her dignity, her well hoe tx.r nx,1 rtx.-t At to the public in the cause of temperaanc5 will not soon be forgotten by the vast as- semblase which had the pleasure of hear ing her on that occasion.

THOS. w. PALMER, JR.,
 ON SPANISH LAWS

Montgomery. October S.-(Special )-"A Guide to the Law of Spain,'' by Thomas W. Palmer, Jr., of Birmingham, is the latest literary addition to the Alabama court library. MT. Palmers work, which was prepared for the Library of Con- gress, was the gift of the young author s father. Dr. Thomas w. Palmer. president of the Alabama Girls Technical institute at Montevallo.
 The book has attracted considerable at tention since it was received at the su- preme court library, and has won much favorable comment from the judges of the two courts and by state officials. From viewpoint of literary merit and skillful handling of the various subjects treated, the book is regarded as valua- ble acquisition to the law library, as it will doubtless prove of rare benefit as a reference source.
 Mir. Palmer, the author, is 8 graduate of the Harvard law school, and was sent over to Spain by the government to pre- pare the volume. The work was produced under the direction of the Library of Con- gress. to which it has been added
