The workmanship is perfect, and
every joint as true as will be found in
higher grade goods.
In these days when ladies' fashions
rule the world, cheval glass in
dressing case is indispensable. The full
length figure may be seen and a lady
can see at a glance whether her skirt
hangs straight or not. Another feature
of the Dressing Cases in these $35 Sets
is the hat box. The lady of the house
can keep her evening hat without
crushing it and entirely away from the
dust.
The metal work on the Dressing Case
and Wash Stand is of the latest design
and is remarkable for the richness.

OUR LETTER BOX.
To the State Herald:

10 the State Herald:
The semi-annual report of Chief of Po-
lice Mcdonald to the police commission,
which appeared in your paper of this
date, was a most interesting and credita-
BILE document, showing the high state of
efficiency the police department has at
tanned under the control of the board
of police commissioners composed of
clear headed business men, whose man.
agement of the police affairs of Biz
mingham has redounded so largely to
the benefit of the city and it's tax pay
ers, and demonstrates the Importance, IT
not necessity, of such body to direct
and control our police affairs.
Since the police commission has been
in force 1 have seen that monthly and
annual reports of the workings Of the
department have been published from
time to time, always showing splendid
work and most capable management,
but 1 believe this is the first semi annual
report that has been given to the people,
and it is full up to the high standard OF
the monthly and annual reports made by
the police commission through Chief Nc
Donald.
An analysis of the report will show an
immense amount of work done by the
city's police department for the city and
incidentally for the county, at very small
proportionate cost to the tax payers. No
other southern city can show more eff
ficient and thoroughly disciplined police
department than is and has been that Of
Birmingham under the present system.
Prior to the establishment of the police
commission the work and expense of that
department of the city government were
only a matter of conjecture to the peo-
ple as no detailed reports of it's opera
lions were published as they are now,
and it must be very gratifying to the tax
payers of Birmingham to know from a
clear and succinct statement just what
is being done and at what cost to them
by this very important branch of the
city government.
No doubt the police commission is a
permanent part of our municipal gov
eminent, for the splendid work of the
police force under it's control as compar-
ed with that done by it under the old
system, has made it an almost necessary
factor which the people, especially the
tax payers and property owners, would
not consent to surrender.

Mr.. John p. T1llman as Funny Man.
Selma Times.
Mr.. John p. Tillman was in the little
squad of assistant republicans who got
together at Montgomery August 4. Till
man got off the only good thing there was
about it.
"Mr. Chairman" said Tillman. II ven
ture to say there is scarcely man in this
house today who has sought office, much
less been disappointed" This was Bit
terly satirical. A sickly grin appeared
on the face of the Hon. William Wallace
Screws, postmaster, etc, who can't go to
congress. The Hon. George Feeble Moore,
several times looked at Tillman furtive-
ly. Hon. John l.. Cobbs, who can't be
state treasurer any more, Swelled up al
the throat. The Hon. Thomas H. Carr,
who is not allowed to be mayor, hung
down his head. The Hon. William A.
Gunter who was beaten by Ben Screws
for the legislature, save Tillman a cast
iron stare. The Hon. Thomas Jefferson
Rutledge, who was not suffered to be su-
preme court reporter or city recorder, or
treasurer of the monument association
more than few years each, said Tillman
was'as mean as his South Carolina cous-
in. The Hon. Scott Sayre, who can't be
city judge, is of the opinion that Judge
Winter told Tillman to say it. The Hon.
George H. Parker, who Is not state sem
ator by any fault of his own, whispered
to another banker that Tillman talked
too much with his mouth. And 50 1t went
around pretty generally among this
squad of bankers and unfortunates.
The Hon. Thomas Hallelujah Clark.
who has been running for the legislature
ever since he was a shrt-tail boy, was
about TO call Tillman to order but was
so choked with emotion that he had time
to reflect that 1t would be batter to do this
at some point nearer Dave Flemmings,
where an apology could be wound up in
due and ancient form.
The remark of Mr.. Tillman was heart
less and cruel. 1t is believed that Gen.
Mephisto Glass put him up to it. Glass
is never happy unless he is making row.
Though a ton of letters had been sent
out to get people there, and only squad
of about thirty or forty had, turned up,
these were too many for the general. He
can't get on with a political party that
has so many people as that in 1t. He
wished to run out about half of 'em. Be
sides, he had read in some newspaper
that morning that 'Mr. Screws, editor
of the Advertiser" had said so and so,
and 1T makes the general very mad when
anybody save himself is mentioned as ed
itor of the Advertiser. So, for one reason
or other, General Glass, chief mugwump,
casually remarked to the Hon. John Till
man that it would be well enough to start
things so that bolt would signalize and
guarantee that 1t was meeting of bolt
ers. The Hon. John took in the situation
and gave it to the 'soreheads" with the
pleasure that comes from pure cussed-
ness.

calls on all members of the order to sup

of Henry B. Martin of Washington,

says:
Bryan is the man of the hour, brought
forth by the necessities of the occasion.
All the powers of wealth and the innu-
ences it brings are already at work to
compass his defeat. Every legal robber

former politics; every man whose inter-
est lies in the continued subjugation OF

which has prospered and grown upon

moving to prevent the coming triumph

land democracy joining hands with the
Hanna-Depew orge nizations, all recog-
nize the danger to continuance OF their
usurpation, and nothing will be left I'M

ing flood.
THE record of all conventions has been
broken, the people themselves, the plain,
everyday overalls-jumpers-a jeans
people have seen the crisis, the crisis
has drawn forth the man and the ides
of November will demonstrate that the
smooth-tongued, swallow-tailed, haugh-
ty politician doesn't possess and cannot
buy the votes necessary to prevent the
people from entering into their own.

THE CORSET.
There Is Great Deal in Knowing How tc
Select It.

Select Tt.
There is no. article of a woman's attire
which has provoked more discussion than
the corset yet 1t is an indispensable artf-
Gle and a perfectly comfortable and
healthy one If properly selected and worn.
There are corsets suitable for every fig
ure, and the woman who knows how to
select her corset is the one who looks best
and feels most comforta BILE.
If a woman happens to have a large
bust and hips she should never attempt
to wear corset without cores, and she
should leave her laces very loose at the
upper and lower part of the garment, re-
Numbering that the flesh must go some
where, and if she laces tight 1t will go
above and below the stays, entirely spoil
ing her appearance and doing away with
the support of the corset.
Remember when you select a corset
that it must measure 2 inches less than
your waist measure over your dress, and
you must use two laces, one beginning at
the waist line and going up and the other
beginning at the same point and going
down The French ladies use three laces,
thinking that it gives more comfort as
well as grace.

A rock splinter, torn from the crest of
Mount Everest by lightning or frost and
fallen to its foot, might, with much more
truth and propriety, claim to be Mount
Everest itself and that the hoary old
roof of the world" was bolter from it,
than can the handful of midgets who
met in Indianapolis on Friday-carried
thither largely, no doubt, on free passes
pretend to be the great party of the
people, that party which is nothing II 1t
be not the unfinching, uncomfortable
champion of the peoples rights against
the assaults of corporate and moneyed
power, whose behests that little conclave
of conspirators went there to execute.
That splinter would still be granite, like
the great mountain from which it had
fallen but these shams have no thought,
