lamps The promenades around the park were never so popular, nor so romantic looking. Inside the theater was equally delightful, and one could almost imagine that the fresh sea breezes were blowing off the ocean-pietured stage. The performance of Pinafore, which the Elite Opera Com pany presented, was without doubt the best of the week, and the whole entertainment a thoroughly delightful one.
 Tonight Penafore will be presented for the last time this season. as it will not be repeated again next week-the last week, by the way, of the summer season. The company is prepared to give this beautiful little opera a rousing farewell tonight
 It is with regret that the music lovers of Birmingham hear the announcement that next week will be the last of the Elite Opera Companys engagement. The company is just now at the height of it's popularity and all wish they could con tlnue the season., at least until the heated term is over. A number of the members or the company, however, have engage ments after next week which cannot be broken, and hence it is not possible to continue the season longer.

NATIONAL PRESIDENT
 O'CONNELL IS COMING
Will Arrive m the City Today to Take charge of Machinist Strike-Situation
 Unchanged.

President James O'Connen of the Inter- national Association of Machinists will arrive in the city today from Washing ton, D. C., to take charge of the local strike, which was inaugurated several days ago. The situation remains practicai- ly unchanged, the men having assumed waiting attitude, pending the arrival or the National President, who was summon ed to Birmingham as soon as the strike was declared.
 Every contract shop in the city is at- fected and several hundred men are out The machinists demand an increase of 212 cents an hour, which the employers refuse to pay.
 President O'Connell is one of the best known and most conservative labor lead CTS in the United States, and his presence 1t is thought will do much toward an amicable adjustment of the differences, and an early settlement of the strike.
 It is probable that a general meeting will be held tomorrow, at which the Ma tional President will deliver an address.

It has been idle, however, for the past year and a half The plant Is equipped with the latest and best machin- cry, which has been used but little and is therefore comparatively new.

deliberation by William r. Thayer in

serves a careful reading. The opinion
which the unthinking public accepts
SO readily, through the FORMULATION
during the past decade by men Of
science that the race in general. and
Intellectual men In particular. have
been hurried by a counterfeit progress
toward decadence. Is ably answered TO
the contrary. Mr.. Thayer uses the
ages of the poets, religious and sculp-
tors, musicians. novelists. men of let

men, philosophers. historians, scien-
lists and inventors, agitators. military
and naval commanders. and statesmen

LUNETTE'S AERIAL FLIGHTS.
Lunette, the flying. hypnotic woman,
now on exhibition at No. 5O4 Market
street, is attracting general attention.
Although this clever performance is
not all of the show, it is the feature,
and a wonderfully clever trick. After
floating in several directions with a
slow, gliding motion, Lunette does a
skirt dance in mid-air to the lively
strains of piano music. The trick is
not done by wires, and Professor Tib-
bitt declares that it is hypnotism. Be
sides the above feature, there is Major
Grant,, "a years old, is inches in

When you buy a piano why not get
one from which you can obtain the
tones OF many other instruments? The
CROWN is the "Multum in Parvon

more than any good single tone" nj
ano does. GROWN" lasts twice as
long as zone tone" pianos
can. GROWN" has hundreds of
tones and effects which no

monotony, can have They try TO make
you believe that the GROWN is COM
plicated and apt to get out of order.
while the fact is, and is plain to any
ore who looks at 1t. that the GROWN

into thinking that the devices for MAX
ing many tones inmre the piano. or
IN time will iniure its piano tone. while
the very opposite Is the exact truth and
