 store.
 FROM TO P. M. The store was a veritable bee hive. The peo- pc fairy swarmed to see 1t day and night, and the men, women and children all de- cared themselves proud of this magnificent Birmingham enterprise. There are few snch business houses in the south, and no mer- chant more worthy of public patronage than Louis Saks.
 STRONG HOUSE.
 Mr. Saks has during his residence in Bir- mingham built up an enormous trade, which has been steadily growing each year. Backed by ample capital, and with great energy and a manner which; puts him in close touch with the people, no wonder he is succeeding so admirably. Such busi- ness men are worth much to city, and Birmingham will be ever proud to call Louis Saks her own.
 NOTES.
 "Where are you going. my pretty maid?'' ITO Saks' opening, sir, she said.
 The floral decorations-hot- b ouse plants were tastefully arranged.
 One of the most attractive features of this palatial store is the frescoing executed by Mir. T. F. Vest, the artist.
 The electric lighting, which is superb, was arranged by Electrician Williams.
 Among the prettiest sights at the Saks re- ception last night was the brown eyes of black belt belle.
 Down in the govern ment building boiler room John McOartin turned loose gauge cock iD honor of the Saks opening. The genial alderman had no whistle, bat did the best with the means at his command. George Burke, ap engineer on the Ensley dummy line, was arrested yesterday alter noon for blowing hls whistle upon the oc- casion of Louis Saks' opening. The charges were preferred by much dis turbed citizen.
 It is seldom that great crowd gathers in front ot q store house to await the throwing open of it's doors, but such was the case at Louis Saks' new clothing house yesterday just before 1 o'clock. Pedestrians had to take the street before reaching the building to escape the crowd.
 The new Saks building is three-story structure, fronting 70 feet on First aven ue of the handsomest buildings in the state, and has about 1000 feet of flooring, all fully covered by the immense stock of goods. The building has all the modern conveniences.
 negro was seen running up First avenue few minutes before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and on being caught by a man, who thought he had done something for which he was trying to evade capture, he exclaimed: "Turn me loose, wbi,e mau; don't you know it's 1 o'clock and Louis Saks is gwine to open his new big stoh?" He was released and continued his run.
 A gentleman who had been absent from the city for several years, and who arrived on the southbound Alabama Great South ern train while the whistles were blowing, was met by an AGE-HERALD reporter and cordially greeted. Noticing the prolonged footing of the locomotive and other engine whistles, he said. "ThaL's for me or some other important individual.' On being told it was to announce tbe opening of Louis Saks' new mammoth clothing house, he said: ''I thoughtit must have been an important event and Pm right-so is Louis Saks. Let's go and get one.o

A Bad Condition.

In no section of the country is there greater need for Liver Medicines than in the South, and this has encouraged interruptions persons to take advan- tage of peoples misery and offer them all sorts of stuff as a cure-all for Liver troubles. Their preparations are sold to the druggists at low price. And the big profit to the druggist is the road by which they reach the public. Beware of any dealer who tells you that any Liver Medicine is just the same or as good as Simmons Liver Regulator. put up by J. H, Zeilin & Co. You know it by the Red on the package.

sailor on troopship informs mo of curious grievance from which he and bis mates suffer. "Tho ships company is limited, he writes, ito two parrots for each mess of about 12 men, and if these are not in uniform cages they arc thrown overheard. Tastes, of course, differ, but should myself have thought an allow ance of one parrot to every six men on board troopship was not an unreasona- ply small ono.
