We beg pardon for bringing |
the quadruped into contradlstinc-
lion with other bipeds, but the
analogy, while not applicable as
to construction and formation, it
has a similitude as to action.
The "mule" is stubborn AMI
NAL and will not yield to the pres
sure of either bit, bride or rein,
and is only subdued by the con-
vincing power of superiority.
The human is docile animal, and
is supposed 10 yield to logical
reasonings, especially when such
arguments are based on irrefu-
table grounds, but it is regret
able fact that although the logical
reasonings and legal requests OF
the people are ignored and cast
aside, yet these LORDS" have the
temerity to retain their positions
agains. the express will OF the
people.
Some of the gentlemen in ques-
ton, are men of considerable abil-
ity. and it is Il surprise to the citi-
zens to see the stand they take in
this matter, as they are identified
with enterprises which are com
mendable. We hope that these
gentlemen shall be able to extri-
cate themselves from the labyrinth
of mazes by which they Me sur
rounded, and shall see through
the vista of perspicuity the neces-
sity of, yielding to the will of the
people, and that the clash be-
tween them and the people, which
seems inevitable, shall be dverted
by their wisdom and good judg-
ment in granting the populace
their legal and rightful requests;
and thatsthe harmony which here
tofore existed between council
and people, shall be stronger ce-
mented in the bonds of friendship
by showing their willing DISPOSE
tion to yield to the will of the
majority.

Chief of Police Austin Heartily FavOs Humane Society and
VIII Endorse Any Movement Looking TO Its Organization
Efforts Being Made TO Organize Such Society,"

to animals said Mr.. Austin, was organ
lied In Birmingham several years ago
but it was without funds to even pay an
inspector The members of the society
the mayor and the board of aldermen
were unable to agree upon this matter
and the society ceased to exist"
THE only cases Of cruelty that are
now reported come up In the police court.
Now and then a policeman reports case
and fines are imposed, but as there is no
humane society with its inspectors, there
is no way of enforcing any rules and
making arrests unless the attention of
the policemen is called to these cases."
Are you not in favor of Birmingham
supporting a humane society,"" was ask
ed of the chief of police.
Il am heartily in favor of such soci-
ety." he said emphatically. land l will en-
ization In fact in my last message
a humane society, recognizing that there
is great need for work along this line In
Birmingham"
Other interviews, obtained yesterday
indicate that even in the impatienee of a
busy day men and women turned with
evident relief to a discussion of a hui
name measure, while the crowded streets
were not without a lesson of compassion.
The straw hats that made their APP
pearance early in the summer upon the
heads of many dumb creatures still
served to protect them from the scorch-
ing sun. and in this act alone is there
sufficient proof of a depth of kindness
and tenderness that will find still greater
expression in the relief of helpless and
manned creatures.

MRS. REID HAS OFFICE
In EAIR HEADQUARTERS.

Mrs. John B. Reid, the superintendent
of the Woman's Department of the Ala
bama State Fair, has her private office
at the headquarters of the Fair Associa-
ton over the Alabama National Bank
She is now actively at work in the inter-
est of her department and this week will
send out hundreds of circulars to women
in all parts of the state.
Mrs. Reids former connection with the
Fair Association greatly facilitates her in
her work, and she is receiving encour-
agement from prominent women through
out the state.
The support always given the state fairs
by Birmingham women will again be ex-
tended the management and Mrs. Reid
is assured of the heartiest cooperation
on the part of the public spirited women
of Birmingham.
Mrs. l. G. Woodson, who was director
of the department of domestic services
two years ago, will again assume charge
of this department. Mrs. II. NJ. Robert
son has been appointed director of the art
department. The directors of the textile
and culinary department will be ANNOUNCE
ed in few days.
The premium lists are being revised
from those of previous fairs and will be
prepared with a view of bringing out the
best work of Alabama women
In speaking yesterday of the woman's
department Mrs. Reid said she believed
much good would result from this depart

was burdened with much

Baruti, who was burdened with much
ambition.
French to the finger tips, she conceived
a daring scheme. She announced that
she had been commissioned to make the
coronation gown for the Czarina.
Having gravely made her announce
ment, she proceed to carry out her phan-
tom commission.
After weary months the wonderful Gre
alton was nearly finished and she began
to show it to her customers and to her
pressing tradesmen. 1t made a profound
impression. All the bon-ton of the gay
capital of fashion crowded to the saloon
of the daring modiste to see the wonder
full creation. At once her credit rose
enormously. She saw fortune ahead of
her and bought, bought till she was in
debt to her tradesmen more than $780,
900 francs ($1, 100000.
But a day arrived when she knew that
she had played foolish game and lost.
The merchants were pressing hard now
and she was at her wits end. There was
but one way out that she could see and
she took it.
One morning her assistants found her
lying dead on the floor of the room where
the gown was displayed.
All the magnificent stocks of satins
and velvets and other costly stuffs OF
the best. besides the coronation gown,
were sold al auction soon afterwards to
settle the claims of madames scores of
creditors. The gown found an enthus-
astic purchaser. But it could not be
worn, and passed from hand to hand and
finally came into the possession of the
New York firm that owns it now.
The main part of the gown is the great
mantel which is twenty-seven feet long
and nine feet wide, rounded at the end.
1t is made of royal purple velvet, the
usual material of court ceremony. Roy

MISS CARNAHAN'S
STORIES EOR CHILDREN.

Probably In no field have women been
more successful than in their stories Of
child life, and the writing Of books that
appeal to the young. Among some of
the late publications is Little Doctor
Victoria" a southern story for boys and
girls by Louise Carnahan, author of
"Polly's Lion"
Miss Carnahan's home is in Michigan,
but she has many friends in the south
interested in her success. Both Polly s
Lion" and Little Doctor Victoria, -
have been adopted as school library
books and are in use in many of the IL
braries of the primary and grammar
schools as supplementary readers. They
are recommended by many leading educa-
tors as most worthy to be placed ir
school libraries.
Little Doctor Victoria is story will
a Virginia background and the typca
nanny of the old regime plays a con
spicuous part.
1t is a most pleasing and wholesome
hook.

New York, July 3O.-(Special.)-In My
letter of last week, said that had been
promised a private view Of probably
the most famous and expensive robe
ever brought to this Countrywide cele-
brated coronation robe made for the
Czarina of Russia.
have seen it and 1t is indeed truly re-
gal and for the purpose of giving the
readers of the Sunday Age-Herald some
idea of it's magnifcence, / have mailed
today a cut and now something OF
the robe itself. =
1t cost $4,000 Think of it.
Forty thousand dollars spent on gown
and not a Jewel on it, Ten thousand dol
lars worth of gold thread for its embei-
lishments, seven thousand dollars worth
of royal ermine used to line it, years
spent in its making.
Never before has such a garment been
seen in America. Moreover, few gowns
since the covering to the feminine form
ceased to be mere utility and became an
artistic expression-a creation have
had so romantic history.
1t is a coronation robe probably as rich
and costly as ever clothed queen yet
IT has never been worn by royalty. Its
very presence in a republican country,
where there are no coronations except
the 'make-believes" Of May Day and
no queens except those elected by their
dover of beauty and personal charm. is a
curious incongruity.
Yet the gown is interesting-immensely
so! And it is wonderfully beautiful.

ing in Paris a clever eressmaker, Madame

al purple is, of course. not really purple
at all, but rich crimson, and 1t has the
richness of color of the fine old wines
of the sunny France whence 1t came.
The mantel is entirely lined with royal
ermine skins about 1.5OO of the best OBJ
tainable being used. From the sides and
ends projects seventeen white satin rib
bons. with which it was intended to be
carried by seventeen pages.
The decoration is entirely gold embroid-
cry, and 1t is this that makes the gown
so remarkable piece of handicraft. The
design is exceedingly rich and elaborate
1t includes border nearly a foot wide all
around and extending over two feet at
the end and the usual scattered decora-
ton. in this case of scrolls partly sur
rounding five-petalled flower. These
central decorations are about five inches
long. The border is in arabesuue or
scroll effects, with horns of plenty, each
about twenty inches long, and in strong
relief forming an integral part
The gown is entirely of heavy white
satin of double thickness. The skirt from
the waist to the end of the train is oi<s
hundred inches long, and the train is cut
nearly square. All around the bottom
there is a gold fringe two inches deep
and above that an arabesque border In
relief corresponding to the one on the
mantel, five inches deep. The bodice is
decollette, with empress sleeves and is
laced up the back. There is pointed
effect with revers running toward the
shoulders at the bust, and these are rich
" finished with narrow embroidery in
gold bullion The gown is a strange and
beautiful monument to a woman's Won
