 In the pile there are cloaks, linens, hats and almost every kind of wearing apparel It includes a great quantity of goods stolen by the gang of negro women who operated in Birmingham so success fully for several weeks.
 The gang has finally been broken up' and at present there are seven of the members in the city jail awaiting trial in at least a score of eases. The women stole by going into houses to get wash ing. or on some other excuse, and there placing everything in sight in basket and getting out. Frequently they would go from house to house in a neighborhood and steal many dollars worth of clothing before they would be discovered, trust ing to chance to get away.

Great Is Mana" and by thousands are numbered her admirers in Birmingham Nothing has ever captivated the city as the popular exhibition of the superb paint ing of the Russian artist, Suchorowsxy. now on view daily at 325 North Nineteenth street. city hall.
 Nana' will be long remembered here as one of the most strangely beautiful, most magnetic, most soul enthralling things ever put on canvass During the past week hundreds of ladies and gentle men have fiocked to see the famous pie ture and spent considerable time in admir- ing the many beauties of this remarkable study for its virtues are so numerous that a passing glance is insufficient to reveal them all The beholder Is first bewildered by the dazzling beauty of the flesh tints, the splendor of the figure and grace of pose. As the first comprehensive glances give way to a more critical scrutiny the glorious art with which the whole canvas is handled impresses the eye. The great est triumph is the modelling of the figure There is none of the waxen effects so common in flesh tints. The pose is mod est. although the matchless figure is ab- solutely undraped. The face Is wonderful ly expressive The figure reclines on a couch and the, ,draperies at the back of the lounge are impressively handled. and the minor details are worked out with con- scientiousness of a work of love.
 There is no time like the present to pay this masterpiece visit. Mana" Is on exhibition daily from 10 a. m. until 10 D. m.

 Surely.
READY FOR FIRST CASTING

A telegram has been received by the Commercial club from one of the super intendents of the Pennsylvania railroad stating that he would personally see that the cars containing delayed installments of Vulcan are rushed to Alexandria, where they will be delivered to the South ern, which has also promised to hum the cars through to Birmingham.
 The second car load, containing the feet and legs to the knees arrived yesterday and will be run on siding today so that it can be unloaded in the shops of the Birmingham Steel and Iron company, which Is making the casting.
 The first casting will be made today or tomorrow. as everything is in read mess, and by the end of the week sec ond casting will probably be completed. The company is now ready to make the castings as fast as it can get hold of the plaster parts. and there will be no more delay.

 On account of this doubt, Mir. Mac Knight has made no announcement in re- gard to the concert. but It will be de- cided today.
 The subscription list has almost reached $13.O00 but the members of the club who have charge of this work have not in any way relaxed their efforts in making collections. President Jackson is still urg ing the committees to get out and see if they cannot raise more money for Vul- can.
 It Is not improbable that the city will be requested to contribute at the next meeting of the council or the one follow ing that. as the time is nearly up for completing the figure.

"The Red Feather"

Red Feather which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Thursday even ing, is the most gorgeous comic opera pro- duction made this season. It is said to be revelation in its scenic equipment and costuming. The piece was written es- pecially for the starring tour of Grace Van Studdiford who has made quite a meteor like appearance in the world of music. Her work with the Bostonians was a revelation. DeKoven, who wrote the music for Robin Hood" is also the com poser of Red Feather" and there is no doubt he has given Miss Van Studdlford opportunities for brilliant work. "The Garden of Dreams and "The Merry Cav alier' are said to be exquisite numbers in which the composer and star are equally successful.
 Seats will be placed on sale tomorrow morning.

Such is the one in which Harry Beres- ford. the young comedian, will appear at the Jefferson theatre next Saturday matt nee and night. The play is J. M. Barrie s comedy, "rhe Professors Love Story" which will appeal to the intellect as well as the hearts of everyone. The produc- ton presents a series of beautiful stage pictures. The company which will aid Mr. Beresford' contains the names of many well-known players. Mir Barrie is the author not only of "The Professors Love Story" but also "The Little Minister and Quality Street" in which Miss Maude Adams starred, and who has re- gently written "The Admirable Criehton.

It maintains a person's nutrition by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assimilate food. It overcou1ss the gastric, durability and symptoms of indigestion. and thus the person is saved from those symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache, i, etc, which are so common.
 An alternative extract like Dr. Pierre's Golden Medical Discovery, made. of roots and herbs, without thcluse of alcohol, will assist the stomach in assimilating or taking, up from the food such clements as are required for the blood, will assist the liver in throwing of the poisons in the system.
