JACOBS & BROS. Both Phones, 855. 2011 1st Ave. 8ENAT0R DEPEW’S BRIDE. Sh* Come* From a Famous Southern Family. New York special Chicago Record-Her ald: The new Mrs. Depew Is the daughter of the late Hemry Palmer and many of her friends In this city claim she Is the most beautiful woman In American so ciety. She come* by her great beauty principally through her mother. Mrs. Palmer was one of the three Hermann slaters of New Orleans, who more than a generation ago set the country on fire with the almost fautless regularity of their facial features and the perfect sym metry of their figures. It Is this beauty which has been handed down to Dr. Depew's bride. But the Senator’s wife Is more than merely handsome. Blended with the good looks shs got from her mother she has much of the latter’s cleverness and plen ty of her father’s good Bense—which Is saying a good deal for a noted beauty. She la adept as a linguist In her long residence abroad she has acquired fluency In the use of French. German and Italian and she Is delightfully conversant with the best literature of theee languages and with the art of Europe in general. Besides all this, she has a decided In terest In the more profound problems of human thought. In a word, she Is very much the kind of a woman Senator De pew has long predicted would be his wife. Her admiration for Dr. Depew’s brilliant mind has been an open secret in New York, and he himself has never evaded admitting the fact when pressed with It. I?r. Depew has be^n so long before the public that he resembles Rubinstein In the/ popular conception of hts age. But Dr. Depew is not an old man. He posseB a temperament so vital that he will re fhhln young In feeling and In spirit long after some of his juniors have become mummified. He haB but lately reached lb at stage of life where he can freely indulge his old ambition to write and he Is looking forward to a career In letters. Dr. Depew’s connection with railroads began In 1866, and he Is today director In about forty different railroad com panies. He was elected to the Senate in 1899. MRS.

C. T. U. At the meeting of the Woman's Chris tian Temperance Union yesterday after noon with Mrs. C. B. Spencer, the report of Mrs. W. H. Jeffries, the president was one of the most Interesting features of tho session, Mrs. Jeffries' remarks being par ticularly impressive as they were not only a brief resume of the work accom plished under her administration but were also In the nature of a farewell. Following the devotional exercises, Mrs. Jeffries gave a summary of the work, touching upon the work In the prisons, the flower missions and that great monu ment to the W. C. T. U women, the Mer cy Home. But Mrs. Jeffries' reference to her enforced resignation as president of the union, owing to her removal to anoth er city, was deeply touching, and there was not a dry eye In the room when she finished speaking. Those to whom she was saying goodbye fully realized what It meant to the union and to them personally for Mrs. Jeffries to sever her connection with an organization In which she had for 14 years been a tireless worker. in mat time sne nas serveo it in various official capacities, and for nearly four years has been Its president. As a mem ber of the Mercy Home board, Mrs. Jef fries' work has been Invaluable, and the women with whom she has labored year after year In the cause of temperance In the name of mercy, feel that her place cannot be filled. Something of their deep regret at her departure found expression In the beautiful tributes to her yesterday, In the sadness with which they listened to her farewell, In the tears that filled all eyes. A more tangible evidence of their appreciation came when Mrs. Spencer, at the close of her beautiful tribute to the retiring president, presented her with a portrait of Frances E. Willard, very handsomely framed In Flemish oak. In appropriate words Mrs. Jeffries ex pressed her appreciation of the gift and the pleasure that so beautiful a portrait of Miss Willard should have been select ed for a parting remembrance. Mrs. Jef fries was deeply touched, and It was an Impressive moment when she, with the faithful band of women, gazed with something akin to reverence upon the face of Frances E. Willard. Mrs. JeffrleB will leave In January for her future home In Meridian, but while her active duties with the Birmingham W. C. T. U. must cease, she will remain corresponding secretary of the state or ganization, and will therefore keep In close touch with the temperance cauBe In Alabama. At a meeting yesterday Mrs. Spencer, Mrs. Jeffries, Mrs. Ballard, Mrs. Ramsey and c :hers gave short talks of the recent convention In Fort Payne. Mrs. Spencer, In referring to the dif ferent channels along which the W. C. T. U. Is working, dwelt upon the child labor legislation, a movement now being so widely agitated In the south. In Ala bama the evils of the present system were first called attention to by the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union several years ago at the state conven tion. Mrs. Spencer pointed out that north ern capitalists were attracted south by reason that there was no legislation pro hibiting the employing of children In the mills and factories. Now, that the state Is so thoroughly aroused to the Importance of child labor legislation, the W. C. T. U. feels that Its early efforts were not In vain. The reso lution read by Mrs. Spencer was as fol lows: “Whereas, we believe that the unre stricted labor of young children In fac tories Is cruel and unjust, entirely con trary to the spirit of Christian civilization and that the continuance of the present system will work moral and material In jury to the future of the commonwealth. “Resolved, That we continue to urge our legislators by every means In our power to remedy this evil by law; that we pledge our support to the executive committee on child labor In the state, the Rev. Gardner Murphy, chairman, and to the child labor bill framed by them, and will work with the committee In the uni fied effort to secure legislation by bring ing the facts of the matter before the public, and for such promotion of the measure as may be deemed most effec tive." The officers elected were: President, Mrs. J. H. Weisel. Vice President, Mrs. C. B. Spencer. Secretary, Mrs. J. W. Fain. Treasurer, Miss Gary. The meeting was closed with a hymn In which all the women Joined. A light luncheon was served and the souvenirs were beautiful calendars, the last meet ing of the old year being an inspira tion to every woman wearing a little knot of white ribbon, the emblem of her pledge to the temperance cause.

Julia Millard San Toy .Marie Celeste Birmingham’s bright playhouse never looked brighter than It did last night when every seat was filled to see and hear an opera that has pleased cities on both sides of the sea. “San Toy” Is En glish and Chinese hopelessly blended. The story of the play Is the haps and mishaps of San Toy son and daughter alternately of Yen How. the mandarin. She loves an Englishman, and at last by the Emperor’s favor all ends happily. The company Is a very large one, and both of the acts are laid In China, and all the scenery Is richly Chinese, and this added brilliant colorings and marvelous effects to the brightest and biggest au dience of the season. Altogether It was a theatrical event to be remembered. "San Toy" Is not a pretentious produc tion In any respect. Neither author nor composer claim that It Is more than a pleasing work of the'day, but It Is full of clever lyrics, and these were os a rule well rendered last night. Samuel Col lins Is not only a comedian but he can sing acceptably, and Marie Seleste (San Toy) can sing, dance and act. Whatever she does she does daintily and nicely. Paula Edwards, as Poppy's Maid, was a feature of the entertainment, and a very agreeable feature she was, too. George K. Fostescul was so big and self-poised that he made an Ideal mandarin. He, too, could sing. There were others worthy of mention, and altogether contrived to keep the audience In an excellent and enjoy able frame of mind. The people In the tiers could not well escape thp contagion of mirth that Samuel Collins and Paula Edwards lnvarably spread whenever they appeared. The rich costumes, the tune ful songs and the brilliant scenic effects all combined to make "San Toy" a musi cal comedy long to be remembered. It Is not great In any sense of the word, but It is exceedingly pleasing and the pro duction last night was happy and beau tiful. Rote Coghlan. Rose Coghlan Is to appear at the Jef ferson Theatre today matinee and to night in "Forget Me Not.” a powerful play dealing with life In the aristocratic circles of England's most exclusive so ciety. Amid an assemblage of peers, peeresses, prelates and diplomats Rose Coghlan as Stephanie de Mohrlvart an adventuress endeavors to maintain her po sition In society by Intrigue, cajolery, threats and blackmail.

The enormous success that Viola Allen has achieved during the past three years, flrst as Glory Quayle in "The Christian," and during the present year as Dolores de Mendosa in “The Palace of the King,” has been one of the theatrical wonders of the time. That Miss Allen, who has won many triumphs, first In "Esmeralda” and then as leading lady with John Mc Cullaugh, Tomasso Salvlni, Lawrence Barrett, W. J. Florence and Joseph Jef ferson and later as the leading lady of the Charles Frohman Stock Company, should have not aspired to stellar honors before was occasion for surprise. Miss Allen's stellar honors have been fairly won, and her splendid success a matter of very considerable satisfaction to the atre-goers of all parts of the country. The two productions that Miss Allen has made have been of the highest order of merit. The company supporting Miss Al len In "In the Palace of the King" is one of excellence. Miss Allen will appear at the JefTerson Theatre tomorrow night. Heroic. From the Philadelphia Press. "So they call you a 'maunee hero,’ do they?” said the comedian. "Yes,” replied the leading man.
