D.
3sy Journey to Colorado took me
GU the Rock Island route and on a
clear, bright September day, the Gath
found myself in the capital of the
wonderful Colorado, which was really
n treat to me, to breath such fra
grant air. Denver is a large, clean
and pleasant city, inhabitants mum
hering one hundred and fifty thou
sand. The first beautiful sight to be
seen was the large union depot. sur
rounded by a most beautiful lawn.
Going up Seventeenth street, known
as the Wall street Of Denver, you
will see the most magnificent bank
Buildings and other buildings, which
ere surely a credit to the city.
The next morning, in company
with Mrs. S. Denny and Miss Lizzie
DiNens. we boarded the Sightseeing
car of Denver. On this car are a
motorman, conductor and a young
man who gives you the most inter
s.sting description of Denver. He de-
scribes every building from minis to
schools, capitol to churches, resi-
sIenees to hospitals, which is, in fact,
both novel and entertaining.
In the morning the street ears
take YOU out two hours and a half
for twenty-five cents and also in the
afternoon for the same. In the
morning we went on the West Side of
Denver. A more beautiful sight we
never beheld, as you look over to
the beautiful sloping mountains and
see them covered with snow, looking
as if it would only be step to reach
them, and yet they are sixty miles
away Another beautiful and inter
esting sight are the hospitals, as you
know this is q refuge for invalids,
and YOU would not wonder either If
you could see the home for consump-
ffves in midday In going past the
hospital you can see the upper and
Fower verandas covered with white
cots and on every cot lies an IN
valid taking their sun baths. such
IA beautiful contrast: the building be-
ing a yellow and white structure and
4JJe lawn so green and beautiful, as
Che people keep their lawns so love
Nv for they do not depend upon rain
as we do, but irrigate, and the pro-
cess keeps everything looking so
green, clean and beautiful.
Well, ! might go on telling you
of the sightsceings Of Denver, but as
L want to give YOU a hint as to the
doings in politics along the line of
yvornan's suffrage, as you know the
women all vote if they wish to.
1t was quite interesting to me to
see the ladies around seeing that
every woman in each community had
registered. tell you the women are
voters because they are
SO enthusiastic, and our ladies are
surely political. Our colored ladies'
have their committees and their
Sbair1nen Of central committees and
Il tell .on they carry on and trans
net business just the same as Marx
Hanna, and Mr.. Hull Of Iowa.
Turning FROM hints on politics. !

zEcil doings of my race in Denver

This city leads all other cities of Alabama in the volume of music house trade. Not only Is Birmingham a large buyer of musical instruments and sheet music, but orders come here from various sections of this and neighboring states.

 The old and enterprising house of E. B. Forbes makes the largest exhibit at the Fair. having a booth frontage of 40 feet. Its headquarters in this city are at 2Ols Second avenue. where three floors are re- quired to carry It's immense stock of pianos. organs and pianolas. MT J. H.

 D. D. Forbes handles many great pianos and deals in no instrument that cannot be recommended for it's high quality.

It won the coveted distinction of being awarded the Cross of the Legion of Honor in Paris in the seventies Liszt loved his Chickering and gave explicit directions that 1t should

 famous leader at Forbes is the Kranich and Bach, a piano of powerful tone and marvellous singing quality. And 1t Is as delicate to the touch as 1t is strong and sonorous. And why shouldn't 1t have these fine points? MT. Kranich and MT. Bach are pioneers in piano-mna- ing. After working for an eminent plano concern for a time and building up It's reputation they set up business for them selves and made hit almost from the start. The Kranich and Bach Is indeed a great piano and great seller. Other pop ular pianos of high grade handled by Forbes are the Kingsbury, Krell, Emer- son. Royal. Pease and Everett. The Ever cit is warranted to last for life time. Forbes carries a splendid stock of or gans, including the Chicago Cottage, the Farrand and Votey and the Mason and Hamin. The Chicago Cottage Is i'm mensely popular. and Is selling more rap Idly now than ever.
 This house does large business. too, In pianolns. The pianola Is a mechanical piano which plays all kinds of music light and classic--without the manpula- tor having to use a keyboard. In other words, a knowledge of piano playing is unnecessary. Paderewski has pianola in his possession which he values very highly.

An Old Resident Died Yesterday at
 Huffman--Funeral Today.


 "Lige' B. Martin, one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of Jefferson County, died at his home In Huffman. Ala, yesterday at noon, sur rounded by his devoted family His death, 1t is understood. was caused by typhoid pneumonia which he contracted only few. days since. MT. Martin was 61 years of age. and up to the time of his last illness was apparently hale and hearty, with a promise of many more years before him.
 He was an ex-Confederate soldier. and was one of the pioneers of Jefferson County, having been born and raised here. Perhaps few men were better known throughout this county than he, or had more friends. -,. .. -. -.
 He was a perfect type of the honest, straightforward old-time citizen, and there will be many who will hear of his death with regret.
 MT. Martin had been a resident of Huff- man for. about. thirty years. and leaves a family consisting of his wife and five chill dren, three sons and two daughters. who have the full sympathy of many friends in their sad bereavement. #
 The funeral services will take place to- day at 10 a. m. from his residence at Huffman, after which he will be buried in the cemetery at that place. ssss

Jesse French Company.

A varied and splendid exhibit is that of the Jesse French Piano and organ Com pany, M. McN. Grant. manager. With it's beautiful pianos and the Columbia graph ophone with its horns of brass andShorns of aluminium the exhibit Is really bril- liant.
 The Jesse French concern has wide reputation. It advertises itself as Amer ica's leading manufacturers and dealers. " Its factory is at Richmond, Ind. Persons who visit Richmond are struck with the vast extent of this industrial establish ment.
 The Jesse French Piano and Organ Company carries large stock of pianos and organs-a superb stock. It has the Steinway and the Knabe, both world famed instruments. It has the Starr and the Jesse French and the Richmond. all great pianos The Starr and the Jesse French are leaders-easy sellers. They are wonderfully popular. And strange If 1t were otherwise, The tone of the Starr is as clear as a bell, and is almost as sweet as the voice of a prima donna 1t Is also strong and carrying And what is true of the Starr Is also true Of the Jesse French. These pianos are moth and mouse proof. Another excellent plano is the Vose. The scale of prices of some of the pianos sold by the Jesse French Com Dany Is as TOll0WS. Ine JeSSe rreilcl' s325 to $4Oo, according to styleFth Starr s40O to $750; the Richmond, $S25 to $375; the vose $400 to 500

 If you have lost a friend. a dog or a breath there you will find it.
 From early morn until late at night that noisy, harumscarum section of the street fair was crowded with a hot and dusty surging mass of humanity. Men and women drank long and deep of the dust and pandemonium and becoming intoxi- cated with the. spirit of fun threw off their dignity and everybody was "hail fellow we'll met There was no masses nor classes; 1t was simply a wild, shout ing, good-natured crowd, out for goed time. afL a8EGlf
 The Elks' street fair started on its sec- ond days journey towards the end of the carnival with a rush All Birmingham wanted to see the sights and coin rat tied in the antlered coffers at a rag-time gait. More beautiful decorations had been added to many of the booths and the av- enue of exhibits was whole show with in itself Wares of all kinds were adver- tised to advantage by the liberal distri- button of samples and there were many amusing contrivances to entertain the flbitOI Ilc fWdlhcQ oiO"iy dO"h thC gaily bedecked street.
 The Independent Order of Buffaloes was In evidence and on every side was Hello Bill' and Are you a Buffalo?" The query was usually met with a trip to the nearest refreshment stand and spies were out for another candidate.
 Down the long street the visitors wan dered until they found themselves in the Midway among an army of yelling spiel CTS. Here the fun began in earnest.

Southern Musie con,pany.

The Southern Music Company's exhibit is one of the most striking and beautiful at the fair. The walls of the booth are papered with brilliant title pages of sheet music and this gives variety and wealth of color to the setting. And the use of sheet music for the Southern Music Com pany's decoration Is peculiarly fitting, for this concern carries not only a larger stock of music than any house In Blrm- ingham but larger stock than Is found In any house In Alabama. or Mississippi Mir Gilbert Carter, the manager of the Southern Music Company, has been In business here eighteen years. and knows and appreciates the wants of the trade thoroughly. He not only has full stock of popular muslc--two steps. ragtime, etc. but all the classic compositions and all the best sacred songs. The Southern Mu- sic Company Is publisher as well as dealer, and wholesales It's publications in every state in the union
 The Southern Music Company carries the largest stock of small instruments in Birmingham, such as violins. guitars, mandolins, banjos, accordeons, brass instruments and drums. It has an extensive trade in small in- struments in nearly every section of the State. and is the state agent for the famous Regal mandolins and guitars.
 When it comes to the question of pianos and organs the Southern Music Company is a lively competitor with the best of them. The famous Alexander piano is great seller, as 1t we'll deserves to be. It is pure in tone and has the singing quality which Is wanting in so many well known pianos. And the tone Is aSpower- full as it Is sweet. And another important fact about the Alexander is its durability. It wears well-none better Once In your house the Alexander is your friend for life That's what everybody says who uses it. This company also sells several other good makes of pianos besides the Alexander
 Call at the Southern Music Company's booth without fall and hear the Alexan- der piano, or at the company's store, No. 2095 Second avenue. MT. E. G.
