Frederick Warde.

Frederick Warde has never been
praised so much for any Of his achieve
ments as he has within the past six
months for his production of "King
Lear" in which he will be seen at
O'Brien's opera house on Friday night.
On every side 1t Is declared to be the best
performance he has ever given and to
rank among the really great characteri-
cations of the age. The Los Angeles
Times says
'The scene in which the stimulating
mailman poor Tom who is 'a-cold, leads
Lear's wandering wits astray, was a most
clever bit, and the closing scene, in which
the old king carried the murdered Corde-
liza upon the stage and dies with lamenta-
tions above her insensate clay, was as ar
tistically famous achievement as has been
seen on this stage in many seasons. 1t
was a thoroughly great performance, and
one which will serve to advance Mr.
Warde's fame to q greater degree. in the
opinion of the writer, than anything he
has Yet done during his long career as an
actor in roles of tragedy.
"As on the pr evious evenings, the
scenic features were superb and the tenn
pest scene was one of the most REALISTIC
ever seen on our local stage"

SEmPER IDEM,
The Latest in Millinery May Be Seen at Caheen
Bros

The return of ostrich plumage as the
favored trimming In millinery seems en-
phasized in the many artistic hats dis
played by Caheen Bros. opening OF yes
terday. Matrons and maids exchanged
their confidence and helped each other Sc
lect their chapeaux from this popular es-
tablishment. Besides the paradise plum
age, SO popular this season, the willow
plumes, in their soft and luxurious full
ness, are especially favored for the very
popular Gainsborough effect on large
hats. A novelty introduced here by the
Caheen's IS the virot roses.
They are of all colors, their petals of
silk, edged with black In their fullness
they are especially favored as a back or
under trimming. An elegant hat in the
Galnsborough shape is of black silk as
trachan, the crown of black velvet adorn-
ed with band of astra chan, while velvet
lines the under brim. On the left side,
giving the effect of height, is bird of
paradise and aigrettes in black, with pur-
pie berries giving touch of color I'm
derneath the brim on the same side are
three ostrich plumes adjusting the hat
and producing the softest effect near the
face.
Another Gainsborough hat is of gray
felt, broad brlmmed, the high crown soft
ened by band of velvet, and given
height on one side by three ostrich
plumes held in place by gray gull and
aigrette of paradise plumage. Under
meath the br1m on one side, and slightly
adjusting It, are two ostrich plumes to
fall gracefully over the hair.
The American beauty toque has won the
greatest admiration, the brn1 being COM
posed by two shades of velvet in the radi-
ant shade of the American Beauty rose.
The crown Is rather fiat, of mink fur,
while three tiny heads of the same finish
the side and back. On one side is an aig-
rette of paradise plumage held in place
by rhinestone buckles.
Their elegant display OF silks and dress
goods show that they have left nothing
undone to make this the greatest dress
goods season in their business career In
cloaks, jackets and capes they yield the
palm to no one. The many handsome
garments displayed there will undoubt-
eddy gain the appreciation of the public
of Birmingham and adjacent towns for
Caheen Bros. enterprise. Their opening
continues today.

CAN CURE ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER.
A Noted Physician Offers to Prove This to All
Sufferers in Birmingham on Thursdav

The majority of sufferers from asthma
and kindred complaints, after trying
doctors and numberless remedies adver-
tised as positive cures without avail
have come to the conclusion that there
is no cure for this most distressing dis
ease, and these same persons will be
more in doubt and skeptical when they
learn through the columns of the press
+ that Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, the rec
ognized authority, who has treated more
cases of this disease than any other liv-
ing doctor, has achieved success by
perfdcting a remedy which not only
gives immediate relief in the worst
cases, but has positively cured thou
sands of sufferers who were considered
incurable. These were just as skeptical
as some of our readers now are. Dr.
Schiffmann'S remedy, no doubt, pos
sesses the merit which is claimed for it,
or he would not authorize this paper to
announce that he is not only willing to
give free to each person suffering from
asthma, hay fever or bronchitis in this
city one liberal free trial box" of his
cure, but urgently requests all sufferers
to call atsNgbers, Morrow and Sinnige's
drug store from a. m. to p. m. Thurs
day, October 8, and receive package
absolutely free, knowing that in maxi
ing the claim he does for his cure a
strong doubt may arise in the minds of
many and that a personal test, as he
offers to all, will be more convincing and
prove its merits than the publishing of
thousands of testimonials from persons
who have been permanently cured by the
use of his asthma cure. Or Schiff-
mann's Asthma Cure" as 1t is called,
has been sold by druggists of this city
ever since it was first introduced, al
| though many persons may never have
heard of it, and it is with view to
reaching these that he makes this offer
This is certainly a most generous and
fair offer, and all who are suffering
from any of the above complaints
should remember the date and place
where the distribution will be made and
avail themselves of the same. PerIons
living outside of this city who desire
to test the efficacy of this most wonder
full remedy will receive a package free
by mail by writing to Dr. r. Schiffmann
315 Rosabel street, st. Paul, Mimi, pro-
viding their letter is received before
October IS, as no free samples can be
obtained after that date.

Mr. Lazarus was 65 years old at the
time of his death and was reckoned
among Birmingham's most highly re-
spected Jewish citizens. He was the Sec
ond president of Temple Emanuel and
was a member OF the committee that pur-
chased the Enon Ridge cemetery, where
his remains were inferred yesterday
morning.
He leaves wife and six children

Three Houses Burned.

At $3.50 o'clock yesterday morning fire
was discovered in the store house occu-
pied by A. Lytle, in Smithfield, near the
Ensley dummy line, and an alarm from
box 131. corner of Eighth avenue and
Fourteenth street, was promptly turned
in. The Northside department responded,
but could do nothing, as the fire was too
far from plug. The store house soon
burned down and two cottages, one oc-
cupied by Mrs. Reilly and the other va
mingham Building and Loan company
owned the property, which was valued at
about $1,000 No clue to the origin of the
fire

CONTRACT EXPIRED.
That Between the Bell Telephone and
Western Union.

BOSTON. Nov. 27.-The contract be-
tween the Bell Telephone Company and
the Western Union Telegraph Company
formally expired by limitation to-day.
Various stories to the effect that the
contract had already expired have been
printed during the past few weeks, but
as a matter of fact the instrument
dated for period of seventeen years
from November -, 1879
1t has been officially stated by high
officers of the Western Union Telegraph
Company that no steps have been taken
looking to an extension of the contract,
and which has virtually been the main
stay of the Bell Company, and it is
therefore believed that the Western
Union proposes to go into the telephone
business for itself. The developments
of the next few months in this connec-
ton will be awaited with interest by
telephone users throughout the country
as well as by the independent tele-
phone manufacturers.
