 Large numbers of useful suits in heavy clothes, scotch mixtures and satin i'm sh broadcloths in the most modish of styles and colorlngs were shown.
 The elegant cloak display was an at- tractive feature of A. Nachman's estab- lishment yesterday. There were long he,ted cloaks of imported broadcloth lined with white taffeta cloaks with handsome cape collars. some military in effect and others of tan and black Kerseys with long velvet embroidered stoles.
 There 0 to be found here large show ing of wofnen's and misses street suits in Scotch tweeds and Knole homespuns. The smart styles of the tailored walking suits are exquisite though sensible in make up.
 The dresses which adorned figures near the entrance were especially fascinating.

 GUESSED IT LAST NIGHT.
Effort of Members to Get Together Was q Failure-Montgomery
 Solicitorship Caused a z
 Wide Split.

The Conference Committee from the House and Senate on the fenerai Election bill met last night but no report was agreed upon.
 The Committee has not yet adjusted the differences between the two ,aw-making bodies.
 The Committee is composed of Senators Castleberry and Craig. and Representa- lives Rich, Lusk and Bankhead. The Committee met in the Supreme Court room and was in session about an hour and a half. At the conclusion of the meeting 1t was said that the Committee had not agreed upon a report.
 The General Election bill originated in the House. having been introduced by Representative J. H. Bankhead. Jr.. of Senate but in its passage two important amendments were added. One of the amendments provided for a system of booths and markers.
 The House refused this amendment. About 1t the chief fight against concur renee was made.
 The Senate added an amendment pro- viding that Solicitors shoud be appointed | In counties having more than 60,00O inhab- itants unless those counties had local laws relating to the Solieitorship.

RICE REVOLUTION.

Caused in Chicago by che Southern Pacific Railroad.
 Houston Post.
 Carrying Goals to Newcastle" is an old saying. but Carrying Rice to China f sa newer one which has just originated with the Southern Pacific Railroad for General Passenger Agent T. J. Ander- son. on request. has just shipped to the Flowery Kingdom quantity of South ern Pacific Rice Cook Books. and the dis cfples of Coafucius will be taught the @) different American ways of cooking rice, therein contained.
 Mir. Anderson received a letter from a Chinese merchant of Hong Korg request ing these recipes for cooking and prepar- ing rice. the art of which has all along been conceded as exclusively the laps ana Chinamans own, TOT 1t seems the spirit of Americanism and American ideas has overspread the Orient. and this lat est Is an evidence of the deadly blow which has been struck at the altars of Con.uciussm and the dethronement of the sacred traditions of thousands of years. China Is the greatest rice con suming country of the world. but the con tact of American influence evidently had wrought a rice revolution. the far reaching effects of which cannot be fore seen The next thing, Germany will he sending to America to learn how to man. ufacture beer, and Su,iny Italy for the best way to prepare spakhetti.
 The Southern Pacific is about one of the biggest advertisers In the United States. but it looks this time as if Its eff forts in the art of publicity were about to batter down the inpregnable Chinese wall and show the yellow Celestials how to cook even their own native staple food.

GOVERNOR GIVES APPROVAL
 TO TWO IMPORTANT BILLS

lution It is conceded that Thursday will be an off-day with the Legislature, with the bare possibility that no session of the Legislature will be held Friday. It ap- peared to be the temper of the lawmak- CTS who were here yestrday to work oh' stadily and finish the three legislative days in the earliest possible time.
 State Banking Bill.
 To-day in the House will probably be the most important of the three days. The State banking bill, which was made
 a paramount special order will in all
 probability came up to-day for final ac-
 tion. The bill. which provides for a State
 examiner of banks. and for State con-
 trol of State banks, has already passed the Senate. It was reported without rec ommendation under duress in the House.
 The vote by which the House forced the committee to report the bill Is taken to indicate that the bill is favorably re- garded by a majority of the members of | the House.
 The general primary election bill will also probably come before the House to- day for final vote. Like the banking
 bill it has passed the Senate and is on
 the calendar as a special order. The Municipal Measure. These two measures are the only ones | of paramount interest and important to
 be acted upon by the House. The House and Senate are at odds about two of the | important bills of the September ses- l sion. The House has passed the Walker municipal bill which the Senate passed the Recess Committee bill. conference committee has been at work to adjust the differences between the two bodies, but as yet the committee has not agreed. The fear is felt by some that thhe House and Senate differences on the munich pal bills may be irreconcilable and in | that event the Legislature would adjourn
 without making either or the bills a | law,
 The Senate Committee amended the general election bill in two important particulars It put in a provision for booths and markers and this old system proved to be repugnant to the House. | The Senate also amended the bill by ad- | ding a provision which made the Mont gomery county solicitor appointive. The House refused to accept the amendment and another conference committee is at work to securt united action. The cleo | ton bill is matter of such prime i'm portance that it is confidently believed that the bill will be passed under same sort of an agreement.

 As usual for this season black was the predominating color, although grey and blue received due consideration.
 The shapes seemed more symmetrical and graceful than those of past seasons, affording a striking relief to the eye as well as a rest to the brain, for 1t must De admitted that some of the decrees of hat fashion of recent years, although beau- tiful in material and construction were not so in effect.
 The blending of French, German and American art as displayed here suggested perfection in millinery art and 1t was a rare treat to be shown through. The skirts. suits and jackets shown in connection, and which served as a border effect to the millinery, attracted much favorable comment, and was evidently the result of wise selection and forethought Among the hats shown were the follow ing:
 The Hortense in dregs of wine velvet | and silk, with shirred velvet facing and a lattice of silk French folds. trimmed in | two wine plumes, cut buckle and sof, | satin ribbon.

 Every detail brings out in bold rebef the fact that at The Fair the highest novelties are found, but not that the highest prices prevail. The exhibition or trimmed millinery was splendid and the Parisian designs as well as the creations that were built in the establishment give evidence that Mrs. Morris spent the weeks in Paris to great advantage while she was there in the interest of this department.
 The Fair Is the sole agent for Henri Bendel's ready wear hats and on yes- 4erdav hundreds of beautiful Bendei hats were shown.
 A feature of the display at The Fair wa the fact that the old ladies' were not forgotton as suitable bonnets were shown for then-pretty and dainty and suitable
 So to are the children's wants looked to with rare good taste and judgment. The display of headgear for the little ones Is an important and attractive Item In this establishment.
 Some of the creations which seemed to command especial attention yesterday were:
 A large vfrot hat of shirred brown vel vet turned up on the right side with two brown ostrich feathers falling gracefully over vine on the left and held in place with a soft chow of brown material.
 A large fancy cream lace hat, soft rolling shape with brim of fillet lace and building of black vlevt full trim on side of black velvet ribbon and two white plumes with black tips around crown. a charming model.
 Blur shirred velvet hat with blue lace let into the rim, under trimmed of six French head tips and handsome cut steel buckle.
 There were beaver hats for the little folks with beautiful shaded ribbons and birds or wings-a charming creation from 8 50 to s. r.
 The new French toqure in fiat-iron shane with crush rim and plain crown and trim in back of ostrich tips in the new plum shades, a marvel of elegance for a small hat.
 The display at The Fair shows that ostrich feathers take the lead as trim ming for the large high crown hats SC much in vogue. Velvet roses. orchids and gardenias to match the newest colors in velvet which are: Petun1a. helitrope and all the shades of gray including tho new smoke color are used in the small todue shapes.
 Furs are very popular, mink. Persian and ermine are still worn, but the molt skin seems the leading fur now worn 1T Paris on hats as vel as gowns-it blend' | in so beautifully with all the shading'
 of gray.
 A beautiful mole skin todue with br1n | of maline of same color and large stee
 buckle has a garniture of lovely rose

 winter in millinery was exhibited in Parisian picture hats of rare beauty, In toques and bonnets, of most chic design and in exclusive models in suit hats, shirt

 and egg plant embossed velvet hat with an extreme high crown, trimmed with | immense roses shading from deep egg plant to the palest pink The newest departure in fall millinery
 seen at Sachman & Meertief's was the
 large picture hats of "Wool Lace" trim med with gorgeous ostrich plumes of | which there were shown five distinct ! models making 1t difficult to say which
 was the prettiest.
 1 A striking and exceedingly extreme picture hat was of sold and champasa7 | lace trimmed with two most exquisite ostrich plumes, each headed with an evxtra ostrict tip. A simple yet gorgeous creation.

lO lWO W Boycott and Baseball Meas ureS Signed. TAris]ature Will Resume Its Work Today and the State Bank Bill Will Be Considered
 in House.

Two hills of paramount importance. the .nti- i-hovcott bill and the anti-Sunday baseball bill, received yesterday the ap- nroval of the Governor. The bills con- tain penalty provisions. and they will not therefore. become operative until a1tei The final adjournment of the Legislature.
 No two measures before the Legislature have perhaps attracted so much atten' tiop. In all the stages of their passage they were the center of special 1nteres' from all sections of the State.
 They are both sweeping measures. The anti-boycott bill was drawn and passed for the purpose of forbidding boycotting niclatfnE and blacklisting. The anti sunday baseball bill is an equally drastic measure. It not only prevents the play ircr of baseball on Sunday for an admis' sion fee. but 1t forbids the playing ol baseball under any circumstances on Sun dav. The bill. moreover, puts football xolf and tennis on Sunday with oaseoal beyond the pale of law.
 Calm Before Storm.
 At the Capitol yesterday was the calm before the storm of the three final work ing days. The State House was quiet Onlv a few members were about the all naost deserted legislative halls. All the Senators and Representatives who coule conveniently do so. went home to spend Sunday and Monday with cir families and constituents. The lawmakers, whc were forced to remain in the city, were those from the northern and western portions of the State.
 It was the general opinion of the law makers who spent yesterday in the city that the final adjournment of the Legisla. ture would come Friday night. The House and Senate. by joint resolution will finally decide upon final adjourn ment, and the end of the session of 190i will not be definitely named until the two bodies have formally acted upon a reso-

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a re- markable record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes. yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manufacturers in which 1t failed to effect cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon az the croupy cough appears. it will pre- vent the attack. It is pleasant to take
