MISS BRIDEWELL'S CONTRIBUTION TO
 H0NEEnER ATE HITNn


 Miss Carrie Bridewell. the celebrated prima donna whom Alabama claims be- cause her "hoteI' address is Birmingham, is to give series of concerts in New Or leans. beginning with May M and pro- poses to contribute a portion of the pro- ceeds to the Confederate reunion fund. She will visit relatives in New Orleans during her stay.
 This generosity of Miss Bridewell to the old Confederate veterans will be appre- ciated throughout the South. Of her and her work The Picayune says:
 Miss Bridewell possesses great dra- matic talent. There is no less authority for the statement than Maurice Grau. the famous impresario. and in illustration of this the following will be cited:
 Miss Bridewell was singing in one of New York's beautiful churches, and Mime. Marcella Sembrich, the noted Polish prima donna. after hearing Miss Bridewell rem der a solo, called MT. Grau's attention to the young lady's ability. MT. Grau at once engaged her for three years. du- ring which time she has toured the coun- try with his company. taking difficult roles and receiving great deal of praise from the critics.
 Miss Bridewell has spent all her vaca- tions in Europe. perfecting herself in the art in which she has shown so much promise, and while over there was the recipient of no little distinction. During her first year in the old country Miss Bridewell was asked to sing at one of the grand cathedrals of Dresden, Ger many, at which one of the German prin- ces was a regular attendant. She was warmly congratulated. When leaving the edifice the peasants. who had been so af- fected by the sweetness of her voice, crowded around her and grasped her by the hand in hearty appreciation. This was thing so unusual that she remained frightened until the matter was explained.
 Miss Bridewell is as beautiful as she is talented. A recent issue of Munsey's g Magazine contained picture of her. below which was written: "A singer whose neck and shoulders resemble Mrs. Langtrys." And In the dramatic notes is found this, referring to Miss Bridewell: "She has the same line of beauty from throat to shoulder that is possessed by Lily Langtry. Hers Is the tranquil mind. the restful. dreamy type of charm"
 Miss Bridewell will visit Europe short ly to continue her studies. On her return she will again be with MT. Grau's com pany, appearing at the Metropolitan in New York. Miss Bridewell has taken part in Faust, Romeo and Juliet and The Magic Flue.

 Fire.
 The residence of Mrs. Elizabeth O'Brien, corner of Clay and Dickerson Streets, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning at 3:20 o'clock.
 With the exception of Eugene O'Brien, a son of Mrs. OBrien. who is in Hot Springs, Ark, no one was in the house at the time of the fire and it's origin is unknown.
 The flames evidently began their dis astrous work in the upper story of the frame house. and, catching between the ceiling, spread rapidly to the floor be- meath.
 The Montgomery Fire Department an- swered the alarm turned in by MT. O'Brien. who was awakened by a negro. drenching rain was falling, and the firemen worked well. but the start of the flames was too great, and 1t was only after nearly two hours of fire fighting that the shell of the house was saved. Mrs. O'Brien carried insurance on both her house and furniture, all of which was lost in the fire. Chief Browder said he did not estimate the loss.
