GATES ID STREET FAIR ARE CLOSED Attraction Was Probably Bir- mingham's Greatest Success PERFECT ORDER WAS KEPT It Is Estimated That Elks Will Clear $70oo On the Weeks Performance.
 It Was Great Show and
 Pleased Everybody.
PERFECT ORDER WAS KEPT

'Its all over' and the Elks street fair and carnival goes on record as the most successful amusement enterprise in the history of Birmingham
 Over ten thousand persons passed through the gates yesterday, and the att traction closed in blaze of glory and with large sum of money and great praise for the Elks.
 It is estimater that something near $700O will be cleared when the figures have been completed. s4 The primary object of the Elks' street fair was to raise money to pay for the handsome home recently purchased by the local lodge, and second to present an attraction in Birmingham which would rebound to the credit of the great indus trial center of the South. In every par ticular the plans have been carried out and Birmingham has been given week of merry making which long will be re- membered. Nothing like the scenes on the midway have ever been witnessed in this city. During every night while the shows were in full blast the circular piece of ground was packed and damned with crowd of people, old and young. enjoying themselves with reckless aban- don which was delightful.
 Perfect Order Maintained.
 A remarkable feature of the week was the almost perfect order maintained. Not a single fight was reported and drunken man was a rare sight The police depart rnent is being congratulated by everybody and a snowman said last night that dur ing all his experience he had never seen anything to compare with the good feel ing shown by such enormous crowds.
 The exhibits were all attractive, and though there was friendly spirit of riv- airy between the various merchants, no bitter feeling was engendered, all seem ing to work for harmony in entertaining the visitors.
 The propriefors of the Midway attrac- tions are greatly pleased with their sue cess and say they have never had such crowds in any part of the United States. They leave Birmingham with profit amounting to several thousand dollars.
 Director General Meglemry who has been i'll for several days was on the grounds yesterday and attended meet ing of the executive committee. When the business was concluded H. H. Sinnige arose and in a pretty speech presented MT Meglemry with a beautiful watch charm as a token of esteem from the Elks. The charm is in the shape of a locket On one side is the head of an Elk studded with diamonds and on the other are engraved the following words
 Tn token of affection to Director-Gen- eral Meglemry, Elks' Street Fairs 1900- 1901 Lodge of Elks 79, B. P. O. B"
 Mir Meglemry was not only surprised but was touched by this token of ap- preciation and thanked the Elks most heartily for their beautiful gift.

In the same instant both steamer and boat were enveloped in dense smoke. We got a glimpse of the sailboat drifting in- shore and then disappeared in the flames.

WHAT DOES THIS LACK?
Surely Belfast Readers Cannot Ask
for Better Proof.

The Belfast reader may ask for more convinc-
ing proof than the testimony published from rep
resentatlve residents of neighborng cities, but
as the proof we offer has been decidedly con-
vincing in Skowhegan and Pittsfeld, it should
carry considerable weight in Belfast.
Mrs. E. TiltOn, who lives on the Canaan road
between Skowhegan and Pittsfield, says: 'sFor a
number of years l had some kind of kidney
trouble, causing severe attacks of backache not
constantly, but recurring from time to time
When did have an attack it was severe and
suffered greatly. When l sat down 1 could not
get up again. l often used simple home rene
dies, but they never effected perfect cure.
was in pretty bad shape for some time, suffering
day and night, when was induced to try Doan's
Kidney Pills. They gave me relief after taking
few doses. When l finished the treatment my
trouble disappeared. l found them an effective
remedy and l believe any person annoyed with
backache if they use them according to direc-
lions will find them 500
Just such emphatic endorsement can be found
right in Belfast. Drop into Edmund Wilson's
