Il the Beauty spot of Main street, having
beeH recently reftted, painted, papered and
furnished in the most pleasing, attractive and
comfortable style. As you enter the estab-
lishment, large shOw-windOw on the north
side of the building attracts your attention
Passing the front recess you enter The main
store, which Is elegantly carpeted with a
choice Brussels pattern, which extends IRON
shelves to shelves on either side 1.-The absence
OF the old-style counter Is pleasantly noticedl.
Comfortable settees, divsns and chairs occupy
convenient spaces on the floors for the com
tort of their patrons. Immediately in the
front the thoughtful proPrietors have par
titioned of space and screened with elaborate
dsmssk curtains the cosiest ladies toilet
room that the daintiest Of the fair ones
could wish. The foregoing are only some OF
the comforts prepared for their patrons; yet
the very sight would convince the observer
OF the choice bargains 10 be secured BY deal
ing with parties OF such enterprise. The
most satisfactory arrangements have been
made by the proprietors for the daily receipt
of new and choice goods in every style and
price. The firm have their own msnufac-
turing establishment, from which are turned
out the finest goods to be had in this country.
They also have 4 medium as well as cheap

Der OF the firm, assisted By a well-trained

A poorly executed photograph is an ag-
gravating nuisance, while 1--WE have heard it
said) ga thing of beauty is a joy forever. y
When a man goes into the photograph bust
ness, he should do so with the determination
to become thorough artist, otherwise he cam
not succeed. One reason why the famous
firm of Bingham & Hilliard is SO popular is
that both of its members know all about
picture-making. They are also liberal and
obliging, and do not allow an inferior work
to leave the house. II any one can persuade
a small child to be quiet enough to have a
picture taken Ben Bingham is the man. Mr..
billiards splendid work can be seen in
nearly every residence in the city. The fact
is, Bingham & Hilliard make as good pic
lures as can be found anywhere.

OPERA SINGERS.
Miss AbbOtt's Opinion of Her Troupe
A Good Word for Every One.

In a recent interview on music and the
| opera in general, among other things, Miss
Emma Abbott has the following to say about
her own company:
"My artists" said Miss Emma with inter-
est, "are selected after they have acquired
individual regulations and established their
natural gift of voice, their artistic training,
and have also demonstrated their popularity
with the public, for a singer might be very
fine in concert and still not possess the COM
bination of acting and singing which is in
dispensable on the operate stage. Miss
Rosewald is pTiHa d0fiRI and has achieved
a reputation by reason of her beauty and
her voice, but an equally powerful factor is
her capacity as an actress. She can sing
the great soprano part of "Leonora," in the
IToratOre, which is classic and tragic, and she
has been pronounced the best "Ollivette" on
the stage, and that, you know, is beautiful
piece of comedy in light opera. Miss An
mandate, the contralto OF the company, Is
also splendid actress as well as singer who
established reputation with the Strakosch
company before / engaged her.
Castle is too we'll established as a popular
favorite 10 need description. His splendid
tenor voice and his acting harmonic, while
his dressing is correct and extremely elegant.
valentine Fabrini, the new addition to
the company, is a beautiful tenor and has
high reputation. He sings the classic roles
finely, and is my support in the great tenor
part, 'Edgardo,' in Lucia
"George Comfy is another new acquisition.
His reputation has been growing rapidly,
and he Is undoubtedly the erandest basso
profuudo in America, with a stupendous and
thrilling voice, like the organ. In Lucia he
sings the role of Raymond "
Then you have engaged new artists this
SEASON."
Certainly. Ny plan is to constantly
strengthen and improve my company, Tor
there is no better way in which to respond to
the hearty support have received from the
public. And you will see that this work,
begun under great difficulty, and carried out
in the face of some prejudice against English
opera, has at last attained solid and
rounded success, and demonstrated that opera
in English has only to have the same artistic
care to secure the great advantage OF being
perfectly comprehensive. As said before,
the greatest of the arts is not an aristocratic
privilege, but given to us to move the hearts
of the multitude with its soul and beauty.
The ensemble of the company, that Is, the
principals and the double chorus, male and
female, make a complete combination.

with fresh voices, and they appear IN proper

of color on the stage. The full orchestra Is

meeting, last night al the corner OF Main

Of approval by our citizens for the States
deliverance from the folly Of its Lawmakers,
and an expression Of thanks to the patriotic
legal fraternity for their jealous efforts for

Court is the talk of the town, and completely

The Livermore Foundry and Machine
Company, after getting their machinery and
buildings in thorough order have recently
had the front of their buildings fNos. loo to
ia Adams street. Handsomely painted and
lettered, and the place now presents the most
attractive appearance Of any manufacturing
establishment in the city. The outside APP

terprise of this company, who have spared
no expense to put their establishment in a
condition second 10 none in the Southwest.
They are fully prepared TO turn out first
class work, which in quality and price can
not be surpassed, and the constantly incress-
ing trade which ia flowing in upon them

and bridge work, steamboat work of all

LAST NIGHTS GROW.
A Ratification of the 1908 Decision by
Three or Four Hundred People.

Last night brass band began numbering
in the neighborhood OF Main aud Madison I;
and a crowd soon collecting, few speakers
were gathered together, and a ratification of
the decision of the Supreme Court was de-
clared in order. Some three or four hundred
people were present to hear the speeches.
Colonel Casey Young spoke impressIvely
upon the subject for a short time. He was
followed by Colonel A. II. Douglass, who told
several anecdotes, one of which was to the
effect that as long as the 1908 iniquity"
existed the people were like the folks in the
railway when passenger took off his
boot. They wanted the windows all open
that they might get some fresh air. Mr..
Harry Hill made, as usual, an interesting
speech. Mr.. H. J. Lynn made few remarks,
and Colonel Luke Finlay also strongly in
dorsed the decision of the court. Captain
J. Harvey Mathes, with the air of a winning
rooster, then took the stand and addressed
the meeting briefly. When he had finished,
he introduced his friend, "Old Father Time"
and the meeting adjourned.

STRONG PROOF
of the Fact that Hardware Can be
Bought an Cheap in Memphis
as i'm Northern Cities.

1t is a source of pride to many Memphians
that We have number of houses here in va
rious branches of trade that deal SO largely
IN their respective wares as to be able to
duplicate prices Of Northern cities. Some
times it occurs that a Memphis house will
fill a large order at lower prices than can be
had at points far north of us. A notable in
stance Of this is the fact that Orgill Bros. &
Co. have secured contract to supply the
United States government with about SOS, 900
worth of steam machinery, consisting of
steam engines and boilers, thirty steam
pumps and fifteen pile hammers. This ma
chinery is for the use of the Mississippi
River Improvement Commission in their
work of improving the channel of the river
and protecting property along its banks.
The contract was awarded to Orgill Bros &
Co., who came in direct competition with
several Northern and Northwestern houses
TO which specifications had been furnished
and from which bids were received. This
speaks the highest praise for the famous old
Memphis house. The machinery is TO be
loaded in barge at the landing during the
month Of March; and the assertion that it
will be one of the best lots ever shipped from
here is not an extravagant one. By the time
the water is low enough TO allow the work
men TO commence, this machinery will be
put in operation. All who feel an interest
in the commerce of the Mississippi lutte in
the wish that the Improvement Commissions
work may be successful. The fact that its
machinery was bought in Memphis is not
likely to be forgotten by the people who buy
in this city; nor should they forget that Or
sill Bros. have unequaled facilities for fill
ing orders for hardware and steam ma
chinery. Oae advantage this firm has is
that it is near its customers, and can prompt
ly remedy any trouble that may occur with
its machinery. The firm is credit to the
business OF Memphis.

The subscription list of the advocates of
paving that street has swelled to a most sat
isfactory size, and the fact of the very great
travel on Beale street commends it to the at
tention OF our city dads. The paving OF
BeaIe street is not likely to produce harm to
more than one institution, and to that one
only from the fact that their individual en-
terprise keeps them as busy as bees with the
