A Beautiful Assortment of Persian
Turkish and Other Rugs.

a Beautiful Assortment Of Persian,
Turkish and Other Rugs.
Lovers Of art can visit room 20 in the
Conrad Building, and can find much that
will interest them. The same can be said
to those who are in want OF
handsome rug to beautify
their parlor, sleeping room or office
as >. Il. Donchian has on exhibition one
OF the largest and most complete lines of
Turkish rugs ever shown in this city.
These rugs will range in size from the
ordinary door mat to the largest carpet
rug, and as to the price, they are sold from
81 to $3.50. These goods are to be sold at
auction. The sale will begin Wednesday.
Whether you buy or not you will find
the attendants very agreeable. Among the
more prominent rugs Is Lehore Persian,
which, when seen in a favorable light, has
a wonderful changeable effect. No. 113. a
Carabah, next in order, portrays some
curious looking animals and odd con-
ventional designs. A fine Shiraz,
No. ia, reminds one of tigers
skin in colOsing, while its quaint
border Immediately arrests the attention
OF all. No. 115 is Daghestan, with beau
tiful blue, copper, and cream tones. II
also bears very ancient date on one end,
which adds to its distinction by proving
that il is more than one hundred and
twenty years old.

WASHINGTON PARK.
The Taxpayers Association TO Hold n
Meeting This Evening.

The Washington Park Taxpayers As
sociation will meet TO night, and the
newly-elected officers will be installed.
The principal subject for discussion Is the
proposition to bridge the river at Fields
Point by the Bristol railroad extension,
the Colony being unanimously in favor OF
the plan, as the establishment OF the belt
line with the Harbor junction spur track
connecting with the Consolidated
would tend TO the material devel-
opment OF that section. As one OF the
officers Of the association said today, "New
York avenue would be converted into a
metropolitan boulevard and the settlement
would bloom and blossom like the rose"
Then report may be forthcoming from
the special committee TO secure
fire station in the vicinity OF
Plain and Broad streets, and also
something In regard to the petition for the
location OF electric lights on anumber of
the principal avenues. The associatfOn ~
hustling, and having an active and in
fiuential representative in the City Coun-
Gil il is anticipating favorable action upon
these important matters. Deputy Mayor
Gallup is very sanguine, and that counts
largely among his enthusiastic CO.
workers.

THE THEATERS' ROUND.
Bills at the City PIayhouses for the
Current Week.
Kellar's Mystery, Nelly McHenry's
Fun, "The Widder's" Antics and the
"Night Owls" Beauty.

Kellar, the accomplished magician, as
sisted by Mrs. Kc ar, entertained large
audience in the Providence Opera House
last evening by a superior exhibition of
sleight OF hand, wonderful cabinet
exhibition and several mystifying
illusions. Kellar has no peer
in his particular field and he makes his
entertainment sociable. He interests his
audiences quite as much by his remarks
and explanations as by his very accom-
plished work. His spectators realize
that they are being hood
winked, but the illusion is wrought so
pleasantly and deftly that the thought she
Is fooling thee" is rather pleasant.
Kellar remarks that his tricks are
easy enough that anyone can do
then X they know how and the know
ing how is not 50 very difficult any
way. The large audience smiled
and remained smiling nearly all
the evening. 1t seemed to consider
itself part of the show as indeed it was.
Kellar would not be very we'll satisfied
unless he had some one to mystify and
he had good many last evening.
He began with experiments in slight of
hand and performed several more or less
familiar tricks with remarkable skill.
The illusion entitled the "Maid of the
Moon," also familiar, was cleverly per-
formed and the work in the cabinet
has never been surpassed in this vicinity.
His illusion entitled "Flyto, and the sud-
den disappearance of Mrs. Kellar were also
mystifying. Taken altogether Kelar
gave very entertaining and satisfactory
performance. lie will work wonders
again this evening and tomorrow after
noon and evening. Thursday evening
tragedian II. w. Reeve will begin an en-
gagement.

CLERKS NAMED
For Today's Mayoralty Election-A Leader of the "Reformo Party
 Says He Is Satisfied.

The clerks who will offciate in today g municipal election were selected yesterday, and each party will have one clerk at each voting place. The clerks agreed upon are as follows:
 First ward-D. A. Green, J. B. Cobbs.
 Second ward-P. K. McMiller, II. Clay Vaughan.
 Third ward-Lee Bradley, A. R. Dear born.
 Fourth ward-John II. Miller, J. A. Go- ing.
 Fifth ward-T. II. Spencer, E. V. Greg. ory.
 Sixth ward-W. L. Robinson, Arthur Crowder.
 Seventh ward-R. H. Thatch, W. H. Naff.
 Eighth ward-John G. Bradley, T. H.. Baker.
 The first named in each ward is demo- crat, and the last ''reformer.
 One of the prominent YanHoose leaders stated to an AGE HERALD reporter last night that personally he was perfectly satis- fled with the treatment received at the hands of MT. Warnock's friends, and he felt sure that the election would be fair and honest.
 He could not speak for any other of the VanHoose faction, as he had not talked with any of them, but he didn't think they need entertain any fears of an attempt to sw1ndle their candidate. He believed that Mir. Warnock and his friends had acted in good faith, and would see to it that noth [. ing unfair should occur in the election.
 Edison never invented anything of greater value to the world than is Dr. Price's Baking Powder.

DEMOCRACY MUST WIN.

Before another issue of the AGE HERALD reaches it's readers the municipal contest of 1894 in Birmingham will have passed into history; and the end of the conflict will be received most gladly by all good citizens, who have been in state of un- rest, of excitement and turmoil for these many weary weeks.
 The AGE-HERALD submits to all un- prejudiced and reasonable men, of what ever persuasion, though many may differ with it's views, so oftentimes expressed, that it's course has been consistent. As Democratic newspaper, always loyal, strongly believing in the necessity of preservation of party strength by united action, it has most cordially supported the regularly nominated ticket for Mayor and Aldermen. No mans dictation, no per sonal preference, no prejudices in favor of rings, cliques and com binations within or without has influenced this course. En- tertaining no hope that the :Reform movement' could with the limited re- sources of the city carry out one-half the promises they have made the people, and never questioning for a moment the honesty, integrity and public spirit of the personnel of the ticket named by Democracy as it's choice, the AGE- HERALD has never fal:ered for one moment in it's loyalty to and earnest, hearty support of this ticket. Whatever may be the verdict of the people today this journal has no regrets at it's own course in this contest. It has fought a fight for Democracy high above the plane of personal antagonisms. It has never struck it's opponents below the belt, but has steadfastly warned them against party disruption. The record made by the AGE HERALD in this contest will prove valuable to the best interests of the white people of Alabama in the contests which are to fol- low. A potent agency for Democratic or ganization and party strength in any con- hict must bear a recorded stamp of con- -sfsteney.--
 And now for the final contest. This day is to decide whether the Democracy of Bir- mingham, of Jefferson county, of the Ninth Congressional District, is to remain united and strong for future contests or to go to pieces under the cry of s'reform. " The election of the city Democratic ticket assures continued strength and success to the party, while it's defeat breaks every cord that binds together the membership of that party which has assured to us a preservation of peace, law and order. If the edct of the party is not to be respected in one conteot, it's very principle is without force. If the prejudices, opinions and whims of individuals are to supersede party mandates in this contest, the fact frees every man to act for himself without obligation in all elections.
 These are truths which are guiding many true Democrats in their action here today, and they will impress themselves upon the minds of all who will reflect and count the record made by the events of years gone by in the political history of Alabama.
 Today's battle must be won under the flag of organized Democracy.

THAT OBJECTIONABLE NAME
STILL APPLIES TO THE SEAT OF TERMINA

STILL APPLIES TO THE SEAT OF TERMINA-
 TIoN OF THE WAR.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-An order was is- sued at the postoffice department this after noon changing the name of the postoffice heretofore called "Nebraska, which is now the county seat of Appomattox county, Virginia to "Appomattox.
 Some weeks ago great stir was created over the action of the postottice officials in changing the name of the old postoftice at Appomattox Court House, three miles from Nebraska, to fSurrender. As this was the historical place where General Lee capitulated to General Grant, objection was made to the new name because of it's sug- gestiVeness. The reason for the change was this:
 Some time ago the old Appomattox court house was burned down and new court house was built al the town of Nebraska, Appomattox county, which became the county scat.
 It is the custom in Virginia to have a county seat called by the name of the county, and the postoffice department de- ciding not to have two Appomattoxs possi- bly, changed the name of the court house postofice to ''Surrender. The name ''AppomaItox'' could not be applied to the new postoffice at Ne braska until a new postmaster was commissioned for the place, and this was done few days ago. So, &C., cording to this, the old postoffice where Lee surrendered will continue to be called "Surrender, p and the new postoffice at Nebraska is to be called after the name of the county, "Appomattox.o

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The AGE HERALD surrenders much of its space this morning to a publication of the Presidents message in full. It is @ valuable state paper, full of the most re- liable information and pregnant with perti- nent suggestions. It is written in the terse, epigrammatic style characteristic of Mir Cleveland and familiar to newspaper readers. There is no interest of the gov ernment that he does not enliven and elu- cidate. He injects an important truth in the midst of the dry details of the Agri- cultural Department. "One-half of all the money earned by wage earners of the civilized world is spent for food," he says. This is an economic fact of the greatest im- port to the United States. It means that the United States, the granary of the world, will never lack for purchasers of her superabundance of bread and meat. As the famishing Israelites looked to the store-houses of Egypt for food to nourish life, so the inhabitants of the civilized world look to the United States for sus- tenance. And as the older portions of the world become more densely settled this demand will grow greater year by year.
 The President urges upon Congress the building of three Federal prisons. This is wise and just. Prisoners convicted in Southern Federal courts are carried hun . dreds of miles to the prisons of the North. This expense could be saved by a prison in the South. Perhaps it will be built at or near Birmingham; at any rate the material used in it's construction will be largely ob. taired from the Birmingham district.

TALKS BRIEFLY, BUT MOST CHEkRFULLY.
 MT. Warnock, democratic nominee for mayor, was seen by the AGE HERALD at midnight. He was looking unusually cheerful, though somewhat fatigued by the active canvass he has been making for democracy.
 s'What do you think of the outlook?" asked the AaE- HERALD of MT. Warnock.
 MT. Warnock: 'I feel sure democracy will win. There is simply no doubt about 1t. All the democrats have to do is to stand and we are going to poll them.''
 "What do you think of the selection of clerks?'
 1T think" said MT. Warnock, "the so- lections were wise; l have every confidence in the honesty of the gentlemen chosen most earnestly desire. fair and honest election.'
