A HANDSOME OPENING.
The Store of Loveman, Jaros & Company a
 Scene of Beauty.

Many male pedestrians on Second ave- nus yesterday thought that there was either a womans rights convention or 8 handsome bachelor show in The Trade Palace, the dry goods, millinery and up- holstery goods emporium of Loveman, Jaros & Go. They were wrong, it was simply the Fall Opening of The Trade Palace, and in one way the opening was simplicity itself, for the firm had relied solely upon it's goods for decorative ef- feet.
 It is astonishing what clever men can do with silk, woolen and cotton dress goods, laces handkerchiefs, scarfs and articles of lingerie, when they combine them into all manner of artistic figures. Such were everywhere and festoons of ostrich boas hung over each aisle.
 Th4 stock of The Trade Palace Is very large and comprises SO many patterns in all kinds of dress goods that it Is safe to say that a shopper could not match pattern any easier in Chicago or New York.
 Although the miliner of the establish ment has bean sick of late, the display of hats is most charming and the ready made gowns seem sufficient in number and quality to dress every woman in Birmingham handsomely. Withal, they are of prices to suit every pocket book in the city, from that of the domestic servant to that of the millionaire's wife.
 Loveman, Jaros & Go. again today in- vite all ladies to come and enjoy good onable goods with which they have filled The Trade Palace to overfowing.

MIR. KELLEY REPLIES TO MIR. EARLE.
The Water Works Discussion is Growing Warm
 and the People are Interested.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 NIr. Earle asserts a fact ito be untrue, and in his card rerninds me very much of what Col. Fillmore of Fillmore county, used ito say: "That he did not care what people said about him, so they did not tell the truth
 No doubt lAIr. Earle would have the people of Birmingham believe his water company is giving them pure, wholesome water, as per his contract with the city. a statement, I Will leave thalt for the 10000 water drinkers of Birmingham to say. Is it net true that the wasdngs and sewerage from Village creek have been shut off from the city during the past two weeks, and we are now getting bet ter water to drink Chan we have for the past two years? But why is it so? Is it because of his great desire to give good water, or is it because of the possibility y of pure freestone artesian water being furnished his imposed upon customers? The day of the "inquisNion" Is past. No doubt he would have me, like Calico or Thonas Cranmer, "recant," but have nothing ito retrsct, and when I say that the water furnished by MT. Earie's water company is still not what tt should be, am sure that go per cent. of the citi- gems of Birmingham will agree with me.
 I would Nike to ask why did MT. Eearle, vice-president of the water works and presidenh of the Trust bank in his inter view In The Age-Herald of Sept. 16, eff he is opposed to publishing statements da maging to the community" try to ruin the credit of the city, that has made him his forltune, in his effort Ito kill the ArtesAan Water company?
 MT. Earle, when was there but one man in Rome? Tell now.
 Now, seriously: Whether myself and associates succeed in bringing pure water to this city or not MT. Earbe's water company should be compelled to comply with the terms of llis contract, as MT. Lowe, the cxy attorney, should demand of him, as lhe did fds Highland Avenue and Belt railroad, and cancel a1ieir franchise. Then the city could buy the dead pipe for song and bring into this city artesian water for about one- fourth the price he tried to unload hfs water company on this bankrupt city," as he calls it.
 No doubt MT. Earle's water company

praation of sso has been made by Hhe councm for the use of the park com mission, but have heard nothing of it officially. Nor do I think any official notification has been made to Mir Frded- man.
 T feel that have some rights in the premises. and think it very strange that such action should be taken without my knowledge. I claim that I am stiFl a member of the commission and it's chairman, and authorize the calling of a meeting of the commission at 221 North Nineteenth street Tuesday afternoon at 8 o'clock"
The age-herald., 1897-10-12

will throw every obstacle in 9he way Of the pure water coming dnto the cIty, as his card fndieales, but don't believe the courts or the citizens are in amy humor to be trifed with amy further by this grinding. souiless water company, which can put up water rates any time 1t de- sires to boom their stock, and if not sub mitted to, what recourse have the water consumers but to pay them '.penalty' or SO cents for having the water turned on?
 No, MT. Earle, comply with your con- tract with the city by giving us pure. wholesome water in sufficient quantity. The mere fact of your having a settling basin is evidence sufficient lthai the water is not what 1t should be. But. as mat ters are now, the people are forced to protect themselves from your arbfsrary methods.
 We hope, Mr. Editor, while you are aascentainang the facts in reference to she purity of the water now furnished the odty as MT. Earle suggests, that you will extend your Investigations to the water the Artesian Water company will fur nish, and when you get the facts, would be pleased to have you give Hhe citizens the benefit of them.

THE LONG DROUGHT BROKEN
Prairies Dried Up and Stock
 Perishing for Water.
A SLIGHT RAIN YESTERDAY
The Streets and Sewers Need Heavy Down. fall-Weather- Maker Jacobs Promises
 More in a Few Days.

An Elijah as been sorely needed in the United States of late, for drought has been widespread, long drawn out and disastrous.
 For two months the rainfall has been less than usual i'm every state in the Union and in some localities there has been none at all
 As a natural consequence the herbage of the western prairies has dried up and formed fuel for fearful, fatal fires. Water courses have dried up so that live stock have suffered and died for want of water. Rivers as great as the Ohio have shoaled until the ordinary steamboat traffic is interrupted. Wells have gone dry and farmers have been at their wits ends for the indispensa- ble fluid.
 Forest fires in New Jersey and other northern states have resulted from the drought. The corn and tobacco crops in Kentucky, Virginia and the Caroli- mas have been materially injured by 1t.
 In fact, all sections of the country, with perhaps the exception of the swampy coast lands have suffered from the drought more than that in the vicin- ity of Birmingham.
 There was no rainfall here for week after week until umbrellas became as great curiosities as admirers of Grover Cleveland, and the water supply of Bir- mingham became far from pure and sweet Dust became nuisance.
 In the past two days the drought has broken. Heavy rains have fallen in the north. A slight shower gladdened the hearts of the people of Birmingham yes terday afternoon, and Weathermaker Jacobs says more may be looked for soon. It is to be hoped that it will come and come speedily. for rain is ma lures great cleaner, and the streets and sewers of Birmingham would be much the better for a. good old-fashioned wash.

TO YOUNG men
Rev. Pearson Commends
Daniels Character.
CIinging to Faith and Resisting
Temptation-Sever Tests.
Stand up for Right.

The First Methodist curch on Bere-
tania street was filled Sunday even
ing. There was a congregation of more
than ordinary numbers for the reason
that the announcement of sermon to
young man had been made. 1t was an
excellent discourse of that character.
The pleasing address and the earnest
ness of Rev. G. L. Pearson, the Me
thodist pastor make him one peculiar
ly fitted to get upon intimate relations
with young men.
Rev Mr.. Pearson said that it was a
glorious privilege to look upon the
grand and approved and inspiring
works of God as manifested in nature
and that these things we're appreciated
by many. 1t was pleasurable and edu-
cational to view the numerous notable
works of thought and execution.
But the noblest thing that may be
viewed and contemplated and studied
and emulated is a perfect character.
Daniel was depicted as an exemplar
He with other young men was taken
from Jerusalem a prisoner to Babylon,
l 200 miles away. Daniel, as a bright
young man, was selected for the gov
eminent service. His first evidence OF
faith and steadfastness and honesty
with himself was refusal to accept food
and wine from the table of the soyer-
eign He preferred and insisted upon
the simple diet which had strengthen
ed his fathers A great temptation was
offered and overcome. In the incident
is a warning to the proneness of young
men when away from home to forget
their early training, to readily fall into
the aoing as Romans when in Rome. y
The full demand was made upon the
character of Daniel when he was en-
abled to tell the king of a forgotten
dream and to interpret the vision. In.
stead of taking to himself the credit
for divination, Daniel declared that
personally he had done nothing, that
he was incapable of doing anything,
that the apparent wonder, was only the
result of faith and prayer.
The supreme test to Daniel came
when envious fellow officials secured
the enactment of a law forbidding
prayer to any but the monarch himself
He alone was TO be worshipped Daniel
continued to pray as formerly to the
God of Jerusalm, taking post at his
window facing his old home. He might
have carried on his devotion secretly
and quietly, but for his faith he defied
even the inflexible law of the king. Fol
this the man of faith and character
was cast into the den of lions. He was
saved to be of much more service tc
the cause of truth and righteousness.
In conclusion, Rev. Mr.. Pearson
made a strong plea to the youth t.
stand firmly and staunchly and with.
out yielding against all that was wrong
and impure. There was special music
by the choir, including an anthem

to attract hundred or more riflemen

A New Teacher.

A teacher lately placed in one of the

Of the down town citizen was misbe-

ways. The father replied that he sup
posed teacher has as part of his duty
the maintenance Of discipline and that
as for himself he had troubles of his
own, but that at home his boy gave
him no annoyance by his conduct. An

not at all surprised, as the young lady
was always very quiet and very ODE

CANTON, (O.), December S.-All day
the children of Mrs. Nancy Allison Nc
Kinley were near her bedside. There
was no ray of light on the face which
betokened returning consciousness.
She has been lying as If asleep most Of
the time. She is gradually but surely
growing weaker. Abner Mckinley says
the family are hoping against hope that
she may rally, but her condition during
the day has been such that the watch
ers think the end is gradually drawing
near.
Charles r. Miller, who has been al
most constantly at the house, said that
he had not previously noted such con-
tinued weakness as was noted during
the day. This was also accompanied
by a higher temperature and he could
scarcely hope that the patient would
live through the night He further said
the others of the relatives felt fully as
apprehensive.
The President is almost constantly
at the bedside, refusing to be relieved
by others and to take the rest and ex-
ercise he should.
During the evening Mother Mckinley
aroused from her palsied sleep. She
lay quietly and restfully on her bed
the President at her side, watching in
tently and hopeful for some sign of re
cognition. The awakening, however
was not accompanied by any appreci
