The Baptist Revival.

The revival which opened at the
Baptist church in this city Sunday
night promises to command much
interest among our people, under the

the devoted service Of one of the most
eloquent, earnest divines Of his church

from the paths of sin and seek a

Rev. Price is not only a scholarly
and eloquent gentleman, but he Is q
thinker Of more than ordinary depth,
capable of impressing his hearers with
his sincerity and to point out to one
and all the advantages he would have
them embrace and enjoy. He talks
from a business standpoint and appeals
to the reason rather than the emo
tions Of his congregations. In other
words he presents his appeals in a
plain common sense manner, without
any weried stress or bark from the
tomb drawl, and those who hear him
cannot fail to follow him and be inter-
ested. he is a new type of revivalist,
up to date in his pictures, sensible in
his arguments, 50 eloquently present.

prayers to forward the work OF the
revival aud it seems it must do good.

sTEELE-sMITH DISPLAY.

Creation is the word that expresses every garment in Steele Smith Dry Goods Co.'S store on Second avenue. The fall opening of this popular concern is an event that will long be remembered here. While the firm displays a fresh, up-to- date stock of everything a woman might desire, 1t makes a speciality this season of ready to- wear goods.
 One finds at this store an immense and lovely stock of underwear, evening and travelling gowns, tailor suits, furs and wraps of all sorts
 The Steel-Smith windows are singular iy artistic. They were remodelled recent ly. In the windows are displayed ma terials for the evening gowns. crepe de chimes. crepe de Paris, silk poplins, peau messalines, all-over laces for white robes and silk gowns. A handsome black lace robe with silk applique is displayed also. In the opposite window is shown beau- tiful creations in ready-to-wear garments showing the long new coat suits. One es- pecially is a red cloth, white fly back in the frock coat style. An evening coat of cream chiffon cloth with burnt out design is especially smart"
 The crowd at Steele-Smith's was large from morning until evening and includ- ed in the throng were hundreds of the most cultured women of Birmingham Out of town women were lergely in evidence.

sAks' BEAUTIFUL GOWNS.

One of the most gorgeous displays of autumn goods ever brought to Birming- ham was seen yesterday at the Saks' store on First avenue and Nnteenth street. The window display is rich and artistic.
 On the second floor the cases are filled the latest things in waists and dresses. In the center aisle one of the large glass cases contains handsome dark green velvet gown trimmed in lace. The dis play presents a complete line of lingerie. waists, underwear gowns made of French broad cloth and silk.
 The most popular ctlors are green and plum and a number are in grey with touches of green and blue. The long coats are more popular in the tailor gowns but Tor the more dressy effects Saks is showing beautiful short jackets. Several beautiful plaids tailor suits are marvels of beauty. One of the handsomest short coat suits was a plum colored cloth trimmed with two shades of plum and beautiful changeabe but tons. A red suit avs attractively trim med in black braid.
 The evening coats were exciting much attention, some of them being the hand somest ever displayed in Birmingham. Many of them were three-quarter lengths and were white, trimmed elaborately in lace. one especially pretty one was a white cloth with lovely light blue col lar.
 The rain coats are beautiful. They are more attractive to the women than ever before. They are cut loose and are quite the length of the skirts. Another department that the mothers win be glad to know is complete that Is the infants garments Everything the baby needs can be found there, made of the daintiest materials.

quired to pay for the certificate.
 There have been many kicks by travel CTS against paying s1 for certificate, and Birmingham has been criticized from one end of the south to the other. It finally became apparent that the city was suffer- ing as result of the matter, and the attention of the Mayor was called to it by some railroad men and some citizens.
 The present system was considered tho best available at the time. It was im- possible for the travelling public to se- cure health certificates frequently in time to catch trains. People are not all lowed to enter certain cities without health certificates. and for that reason the railroads would not sell tickets to these places unless the purchaser had a health certificate. In order to aceommo- date the demand for these certificates two young physicians and a notary went to the station and issued the certificates to those who could take the proper oath as to their whereabouts for the ten days previous to the date of the certificate.
 At the time neither the city, the county. the state nor the railroads felt called on to establish a free bureau at the station. but the storm of comment has been so fierce that action will be taken and prob ably at once

 CERTIFICATES FREE

ne city of Birmingham and the rail- roaos will establish an office at the onlon station where health certificates VIII be issued free of charge to all who desire them.
 Inc matter is being considered by the ci'y authorities and the representatives or several of the railroads. and it will probably be settled today. A conference VIII probably take place between the Mayor and the railroad men relative to the matter and the result will be the es- taelishment of the free health certificate office
 Neither the Mayor nor any of the rail road officials would discuss the matter yesterday, further than to admit that some action was contemplated and that the conference would probably be held today.
 One railroad man gave as the reason for such action the unpleasant and harm ful advertising that Birmingham is re- ceiving as a result of the present ar rangement He said that those running the present place were in no way to blame for the matter and that they had done excellent work, but he said that in his opinion 1t was a matter that the city and the railroads should handle, and that the travelling public should not be re-

COLLECTED MANY
 FINES YESTERDAY
THE COURT RECORDS WERE ALL BROKEN BY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY HANDLED BY CLERK McELRATH.

Fines imposed by Judge Feagin in the inferior criminal court yesterday broke all prior records. More money was in the hands of J. J. McElreth, the clerk. at the end of the days work than ever before recorded on the docket, and 1t was dark before he had a chance to eat lunch. The total amount of all fines was sS16. The total amount of cash fines amounted to s225. A very small per cent of the money collected came from fines imposed on Sunday law vio- lators. It was paid for the vaficc other offenses, 1s most of the saloon men and others caught in barrooms appealed cheir cases. Crap shooters helred to swell the amount, and much of the money was for trunks and dsorderly conduct. It required fifteen pages of Clerk McEl- rath's docket to make a record of tlN cases handled and the stub of a new re- ceipt book showed that many pages were gone.

Caught Purse snatchers.

In Rye" Hood, alias Hill" and En- his Durthill the detective department believes 1t has captured two negroes who have made practice of snatching pocket books and other valuables from women shoppers. Only recently a wel1-known woman reported that two negro boys snatched her purse and the matter was placed in the hands of Detectives Ham ilton and Bodeker. They have run down several clues without avail, but circum- stances finally pointed to Rye" Hood and they finally located him. Durthill Is thought to know something about the robbery and both will sbe given a hearing in the inferior court today. The negroes were trying to dispose ef a note for s1o0. which was in the purse when snatched.
