"0EROFLE-GERoFLA."
The Beautiful Twins and Entire Fam
 lily at Lal<eview Tonight.

"Gerofle-Geroffa" is one of the funniest operas ever staged and will be seen in all of its mirthful charm for the first time at Lakeview tonight. This is the Elite Opera Company's fifth week this season and 1t is doubtful if any opera in the past or any that will be produced will be more popular than this one.
 Gerofe and Gerofa are twin daughters of a Spanish don and are engaged to be married on the same day. Geroha is carried off by pirates, and in order to carry out one of their mothers hobbies that he daughters should be married as they were born, that Is on the same day, Gerofle marries her own betrothed and also that of her unfortunate sister. Com plications naturally follow and for 0 while things look serious, until the mis- sing twin returns at an opPortune mo- merft and takes charge of her own hus- band. Things go smoothly from that time forever afterward.
 Miss Miles appears as the twins, Miss Schoolar as Aurore, their mother; MT. Lightwood as Don Bolero, their father; Miss Gafford as Requita, their maid; MT. Luckie as Pedro, their page, and MT Ormsby as Marasquin, and MT. Washburn as Mourzauk, their respective husbands.

BUILDING THE BANK.
Crowds Watch the Derricks Work- Other Buildings Nearing Completion

The beautiful marble front of the bank building in course of erection by the Bir- mingham Trust and Savings Company in Twentieth street between First and Sec ond avenue is nearing completion. Four of the massive columns have been set in place, and make fine appearance. Great crowds gather along the sidewalks in front of the building daily and watch the derricks lifting the large blocks of mar ble to the proper places.
 When completed this building will be the finest one south of the Ohio river erected solely for banking purposes.
 The addition to the Louis Saks build ing in Nineteenth street has reached the second floor. The intervening wall be- tween the old building and the new one rushed and the new addition will be com pleted in a short while.
 Work on the new city hall Is being rapidly pushed forward, the walls up to the second floor being about completed. Contractor Stockmar is giving the work all of his personal attention, and the building will have all of the modern inn provements. The fire department head quarters willbe ready for occupancy by October 1, when the lease on the present quarters expires.
 A great many residences are being con- structed, as is shown by the number of building permits.

MORE STRENGTH IN
 LOCAL MARKETS
The Various Strikes in North
 Retard Progress
MINERS AGAIN AT WORK
Demand for Pig Iron Has Increased Considerably and Shipments Are Now Being Made With Regu-
 larity-StceI Sales Good.

A very slight strengthening of the local iron and steel and coal markets was felt last week by dealers and operators in general, although the strikes in the North and East tended to stunt the growth of this feeling
 With the coal operators the strength shown was merely the natural result of the marked depression that has prevailed for the past ten weeks. No season in the history of the district has been so very depressive as that through which the operators have just passed-that is, since the boom days passed away and the dull ness that followed them.
 The miners are at work in nearly all the mines of the district, and the operators are begtnninf to feel a sense or security for the future. Inditions are that the demand will almost equal that of last year, for the reductions In freight rates are placing operators in a position to partly meet cuts resulting from the oil fight in the Southwest.
 The steel market has shown a very slight effect of the strike throughout the East, but the sales have been almost up to the average of the past few weeks. There Is a fear among the steel men that the big strike will effect the market, but not to considerable extent.
 The demand for pig iron has increased to a rather marked extent, and shipments are being made with regularity. Prices are firm, but remain unchanged.

HUNTING FRESH AIR.
Thousands of Heated Persons Sought
 the Out-of-Town Places.

The street cars of the city did an enor- nous business yesterday. Thousands of young, old. happy and unhappy mortals sought refuge from the heat by riding on cars and visiting the parks.
 East Lake drew a very large crowd and other parks likewise attracted many to the supposedly idyllic country air that famed the heated checks. Probably the cars to the fair grounds to see the sol diers full dress parade, were more crowded than those of any other line. North Birmingham Park drew many to its shades Avopdale also caught many country-seekers.
 Altogether 1t is estimated that more persons rode to the different pleasure resorts yesterday than any previous day this year.

 Montgomery, Ala, June 2S, 1901. The Shippers and Buyers Mutual Aid Association, Birmingham, Ala
 Gentlemen:-Your letter of June 27th re- ceived came into this office on 1he first day of March, 1901, and can state most positively that am not mistaken in any declaration that not even a line or letter has ever been received at this office since that time. I have had the office and records In this office carefully examined and find no such communication on file. Colonel W. C.. Tunstall, who Is present, states most emphatically that he has never seen such communication, although he has been connected with this commis- sion since December, 1900. MT Griffin, the clerk of the commission, reasserts his former statement that he has never seen such communication. Your statement that three letters have been addressed ito me as president, or else to the railroad commits sion, "all in return envelopes, etc.," may be true and I do not question your verac- ity, but do state most emphatically that they have never reached me. The com munication referred to by you as coming from Private Secretary Sanford, if re ceived at this office, was before my day, and 1t certainly cannot be found at this time. You ask me to "come square to the front and give you plain, straight, courteous answer" if you mean to imply by your letter that I have done otherwise up ito this point I most respectfully re- pudiate the insinuation, as I have never before had any cause to pass upon your case. To your further inquiry as to whether I will assist you, will say that that depends wholly upon the proposition as to whether you have merit in your claim If your claim is meritorious will, otherwise will not.
 Like you, I do not desire any further misunderstanding, but I feel that your letters have done me great injustice, and that 1t Is unusual to request In advance an expression from one whose duty 1t Is to sit upon the merits of case in quasi-judicial capacity.
 Leaving all personal matters and coming to strict business, now inform you that your complaint has been filed In this office, and we have set the 10th day of July at noon to hear the same. We have also given due notice to all the railroads en- tering Birmingham to be effected by what ever order may be made by this commits sion.
 I sincerely hope that your association will be here at that time and I assure you fair, impartial and patient hearing, and that justice shall be done In this matter
 If this date does not suit you it can be changed to suit your convenience Very respectfully,
