No Forgivenessl

''If you would incur the bitter
hatred of people by the hundreds make
. practice of telling the open truth on
them occasionally. People buck and
cavert about being lied on. but they
never kick half so high about lie as
they themselves do when the truth is
told on them. You may tell delib-
crate faisehood on person and stand
some show to be forgiven, but if you
tell truth that uncovers some of his
"wsys that are dark and tricks that
are vain," ninty-nine tunes out of a
hundred you will go down to yonr grave
without his forgiveness. Traders ex.
change.
Yes, Bro. McIntIre, the above is all
very true. But, did you ever notice
how few people there are who so de-
light in telling the unwelcome truths,
whose linen will bear close inspection7
We have made this particular feature
somewhat life study, and we are led
to the conclusion that the cleaner indi.
| vIdual rarely ever finds time to wash
the dirty linen of his neighber. He is
too busy trying to make wholesome
truths in his owncharater, to act the
spy upon his fellows. There is an old
''saw'' that runneth like this: ut
takes a thief to catch . thief or
"Thief catch thief"
We have found as rule that the in.
dividual who knows and has time to
tell so much of evil in his fellows, is
often guilty of far greater evil doing.
The "tattler" and the ''back- bitter" is
a very near relative of the ''slanderer"
and he rarely ever does his work in the
fear of his God and for the good of his
fellows. Society is better for the
secrecy of the charitable. Many
wrong doers are saved to an honorable
life because of the loving protection of
forgiveness and secrecy, and but little
good is ever accomplished by exposing
unthoughtful action. The fear of ex.
posure is sometimes greater hindrance
to the commission of future offences,
than the fear of punishment Needless
exposure of minor offences against socie-
ty often leads to abandonment of high.
er motives. All men and all women are
sinners and vIolators of higher law.
They are such by reason of their i'm.
perfect natures, and once contaminat.
ed with wrong doing. must of necessity
have the opportunity given them for
out growing their evil tendencies by an
effort to become better and purer in life.
1t is the bounden duty of society tc
train in men aud women an impulse to
!. better living. and it is the duty of the
g civil laws and their officials to mete ou
IT fitting punishment to the hardened anc
:, abandoned criminal classes.
i The "busy bodies" of society VIII,
q seek to expose every little offence are
g. hindrance and we believe they shoulC
le be treated as such. The slanderou
tongue, by habit, soon becomes vii
and dangerous.

A STRINGENT FOOD Law.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum IL
al A rxsnloa nE niak

all Articles of Diet.
The law enacted by the Missouri
Legislature, which prohibits the manu-.
facture or sale of any article intended
for food or to be used in the prepara-
ton of food. which contains alum.
arsenic, ammonia, etc., places that
state in the lead IN the matter of sani.
tary legislation.
Laws restricting the use of alum in
bread have been in force in England,
Germany and France for many years.
In this country, in Minnesota. Wiscon-
sin, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and sew.
eral other states, direct legislation in
reference to the sale of alum baking
powders has also been effected. In
several of these states their sale is pro.
hibited unless they are branded to show
that they contain alum. and in
the District of Columbia, under the
laws of Congress, the sale Of bread
containing alum has been illegal.
Following are the names of some OF
the brands of baking powder sold in
this vicinity which are shown by recent
analysis to contain alum. House.keep.
ers and grocers should cut the list out
and keep it for reference:

In addition to these, many groeers
sell what they call their own private OF
| special brands. These powders ar.
| put up for the grocer, and his name
put upon the labels by Manufacturers o
alum powders. The manufacturers it II
said, find their efforts to market thei
goods in this way greatly aided by th'
ambition of the grocer to sell powde
with his own name upon the label
especially as he can make an abuorma
profit upon it. Many grocers, doubt
less, do not know that the powder
they are thus pushing are alum pow
ders the sale of which would be misde
meanor under the law referred to.
1t Is quite impossible to give tn
names of all the the alum powders
They are constantly appearing in a
sorts of diguises. under different name
and at all kinds of prices. even as To-
as FIVE and ten cents pound. The
can be avoided however, by the house
keeper who will bear in mind that a

Caheen Bros.

Caheen Bros. enjoyed a notably success full opening day. Their beautiful shop in Second avenue was thronged the entire day and far Into the evening. Their decorators attempted something entirely unique in the method of displaying the autumn and win ter fabrics. Along the broad adsles were stationed at intervals oriental booths, which were draped with the richest of fab rics, and which displayed them to unusual advantage. The latest novelties, which in- cluded an unusual line of pretty fancies In
 the way of belts and stocks, were greatly admired, while the exquisite fabrics for evening wear, together with the latest modes for the street, were displayed In the handsome windows, as well as In the spe- cial departments. Indeed, there was not a more attractive display then that which marked the autumn opening of this popular firm The Jackets for street wear and the hats showed the greatest thought had been bestowed upon their selection, and the de- signs predicted weeks ago by the fashion writers were reproduced. Each department was complete and emphasized the fact that Birmingham merchants not only study the northern markets, but know just what to bring south. The fallacy of sending to the eastern markets for the same materiah
The age-herald., 1900-10-02

The autumn and winter opening at Ferd Marks was a distinctive success, and was one of the most elaborate of the day The handsome shop in Second avenue was superbly decorated, and was one of the most popular rendezvous. The display of beautiful fabrics charmed every woman who glimpsed at it, while in the millinery department women fingered for hours ad- miring the exquisite clea tions which are among the handsomest that will be seen here this winter.
 This firm has given particular attention to it's millinery department, with the result that Birmingham women were enthusiastic in their expressions of admiration. The display throughout each department was an elaborate one, and demonstrated that this firm was in every Way leader in the world of fashion.

BY ANNIE KEDRrcK WALKER.

The largest matinee of the winter, series of receptions in single afternoon, would not have thronged the streets with as great a number of women as hocked to the popular rendezvous yesterday where autumn openings had been announced to take place. Indeed the difference be- tween the matinee and the openings lay in the fact that by the time the matinee season opens, maid and matron will saun- ter forth in the smart winter gowns, and the jauntiest of toques and the most fash able furs that were seen yesterday, while the shops might have been summer gar dens, since hundreds of women adapted their costumes to the weather and in con- sequence the assemblies were all the more picturesque by reason of summer gowns. The profuson of palms with which the in terior ot the shops were decorated convert ed them into tropical gardens, and in some of the places where the orchestra was play ing. one was reminded of palm gardens, and it was not difficult to imagine that the elevators were conveying the throngs to possibly roof garden and that a con- tinual performance would be put on for ones especial benefit. Indeed with music, palms, the gay throngs, one could recall
 
 fashion and beauty assemble. And while the interiors of the shops were superbly decorated, the view from without was un- usually attractive by reason of the dis play in the windows.
 It is recognized fact that Birmingham merchants fully appreciate the importance ot window decoration, and such an art has 1t become that the decorators necessa- rily men of long experience and who give all of their time to the study of window effects. In no city of the South can be found as attractive shop windows as in Birmingham, and even in New York where such constant attention Is given to the decoration of shop windows, could there have been handsomer and more elaborate designs than those admired by thousands of persons who strolled along the thor oughfares of Birmingham yesterday With the innumerable lights, the windows were dazzling in their beauty last night, and attracted thousands of passers by. Artis- tic at all times, in all seasons the occasion for the display of autumn and winter eff fects, every shop window was perfect in It's arrangement.

Loveman, J oseph 6 Loeb

 At Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's magnificent place in Nineteenth street, the throngs were greatest from until 12 in the morning and from until o'clock in the afternoon, while in the evening the elevators were practically unable to convey the crowds from the first floor to the second and third floors, eac-. of which was a rev. eation in the art of displaying beautiful fabrics, rich gowns, laces, and the thous- and fabrics in which a woman delights, while even stroll through this mamomth department store was an education in won derful furniture, hangngs, rugs. The dis play of gowns is handsomer than usual and number of beautiful imported mod els were shown. An elaborate evening gown from Worth was of white net and silk, while the creations of o.eer French artists were generally admired superb toilette Of black silk showed a jacket of black velvet with collar and revers of mink The long coats in exquisite mode shades were greatly admired, while the tailor gowns with the Smartest of Jackets were shown iE the latest shades. With ,,ese swell street toilettes, the most becoming of toques were shown in the millinery depart ment. The French touch, which gives A
 
 dence, and both the hats for the street as well as those to be worn on formal oc- casions were distinctive in beauty and de- sign and possessed the French air to per- lection.
 The furs which a woman has long recog- nized as giving touch of elegance to her costume were displayed to great advan- tage, and the expressions of admiration which fell from the lips of pretty women made one hope for an early winter, for there is nothing prettier than the fur toQues which continue in vogue, and the rich furs that are to frame the faces of fair women.
 In the furniture department there was a bewildering display Loveman, Joseph 6 Loeb carry the handsomest line of fur niture to be found in the South. The third floor is devoted entirely to it's display to- gether with that of draperies and carpets and rugs While the beautiful designs in mahogany, Flemish oak, antique and Verni Martin were greatly admired, the depart ment devoted especially to the display of East India effects was one of the most popular features of the opening. It repre- sented a typical Bungalow, and was ex- tremely effective with it's hangings and rugs together with the tables and screens of teaque wood, inlaid with pearl. The rugs from Oriental looms and the rich draperies of lace and silk were displayed to unusual advantage and in their arrange ment reflected great credit upon the heads in this department. The carpet, crockery, bric-a-brac and every department were complete and the opening was the most elaborate and successful one in the his- tory of "The Largest Store South of the Ohio."
