'dinel and party were travelling Tss run
ming at the rate of about thirty miles an

siderably frightened.

early in tho morning and the Cardinal and

WATER WORKS SHUT DOWN

Austin, Te:1., September Awhile there have been rains in some portions of the state during the past few days, the drouth continues undisturbed in the greater DOT tion of the state. Conditions are daily growing worse in this city al Waco and Fort Worth. The river has fallen So rap idly within the past few days that all the city electric and water works plants were compelled to shut down finally today and there seems little chance for them to re- snme operations soon again.
 Reports from Fort Worth and Waco are that the situation is alarming. Reports from the country west of here are that there is no water obtainable for miles around and that cattle and other live stock are dying by the hundreds for want of water. Ranges that have been well wa tered since man knew this country are dried up now. In June much of this sec tion was under water from excessive rains. Now the parched ground is cracking and water is a scarce article.

Miss Drennen's Success at the
 Royal Conservatory al Dresden

That Birmingham offers the finest musl- cal advantages that can be found in any city in the country was lately evidenced in the success of Miss Lillie Drennen, who is in Dresden to complete her musical ed ucation. For the past three years Miss Drennen was a pupil of Miss Daisy Row ley, who is director of the Academy of Mu- sic in Birmingham
 Miss Rowley prepared Miss Drennen to enter the middle class at the Royal Con servatory at Dresden.
 When Miss Drennen arrived in Dresden a few weeks ago she at once played for the teacher to whom she had applied for instruction. Among other selections. she was very much eomplimented upon d L!szt etude. After being examined. instead Q. entering the middle class she Was placed in the high school where her work won for her immediately a most enviable record. Miss Drennen studies under Frau Kahrer- Rappoldi, who was a pupil of Liszt.
 Those who have read Amy Fay's Music Study in Germany" will remember her de- scription of the class when the members were studying under Lizzie. She said on one occasion that a funny little girl had just entered the class That little girl was in later years one of the greatest living pianists Her name was Laura Kahrer. She married Rappold who is first violnist of the Royal Orchestra at Dresden. She is now Frau Laura Kahrer- -Rappoldi, court pianist to the king of SaXony, and it is to this great pianist and teacher that Miss Drennen has gone.
 Frau Rappoldi has class at the Royal Conservatory, and to be able to enter her class one must not only possess the neces- sary talent, but it is necessary to apply frequently two years previous, as her class is always full; but through Miss Rowley's influence Miss Drennen, being sufficiently advanced, was admitted. Miss Rowley Is being warmly congratulated upon the suc- cess of her gifted pupil.

Another years work was begun by the Pollock Stephens institute yesterday. The opening exercises were largely attended and the school was started under most flattering prospects.

 pr. Handey, of the Central Presbyterian church, opened the exercises with prayer He then made a short address and was followed by Rev G. c. Kelley and Dr. A. c. Davidson. All of the speakers predicted great success for the school and expressed great pleasure at seeing such large num- Der present at the opening. Vocal and in- strumental solos were then rendered by Profs. Charles c. Washburn and William Graham. They have charge of the musical department of the institute and have proven themselves to be artists in their re- spective lines.
 The Pollock-Stephens can only accommo- date 175 pupils and Mrs. Taliaferro, the principal, expects to have the number com pleted by the first of January.

SOUTHERN EXPOSITION
Representative ofNew York Enterprise
 in the City

Colonel John J. Garnett, director of the Southern exposition to be held in New York; was in Birmingham yesterday work ing in the interest of the great enterprise. Colonel Garnett is a Confederate veteran, and has visited nearly all of the u;hern cities. He called on several of Birming- hams most prominent men, and stated that he was assured of a fine exhibit from this city.
 The Southern exposition will be held in the Grand Central Palace, New York, and its purpose will be to display to the best advantage exhibits showing the industrial and agricultural development of the south. The stockholders are all southern men, and have organized the association for the pur- pose of inviting northern capital to this section of the country.
 All the money necessary to maintain the exposition has been subscribed, and space will be given free to all exhibitors The railroads have also agreed to ship the ex- hibts at one rate for the round trip.
 Colonel Garnett said that he was meet ing with much success on his trip, and that every city he had visited had readily agreed to take space for an exhibit.
 Prom what I have seen of your city," said the colonel, "I am of the opinion that Birmingham ought to make an exhibit un- surpassed by any southern city. New Workers are greatly interested in Birming- ham, and a display of your mineral and manufacturing industries would be great advertisement for the city"
 Continuing, Colonel Garnett said that the Southern exposition will be the first ex- position held in the east since the Phila- delphia centennial in 1876.
 "All the others have been held in either the south or the west, and now We want to have a display of southern industrial development in New York;" he said
 The Southern exposition will occupy the entire building of the Grand Central Pal ace company. There are six floors, and nearly eight acres of space will be at the disposal of southern exhibitors. The ex- position will be opened on October 31, and will continue until November 25.-
 Colonel Garnett will leave this morning for Montgomery, Mobile and Atlanta, where he will urge those cities to be repre- scented in the exposition
