FORMAL SHOWING OF
THE SEASONS. NOVELTIES
BY J. FRANCIS KELLEY.

was thronged with the representative
ladies Of Birmingham, which added a
charm to the already beautiful display. I
doubt whether any city in the great
southland can boast of a more perfectly
appointed millinery establishment than
Hirschs.
The interior of this store Is patterned
after the 'Maisson-F Felix" store in the
Rue de Echiquer, Paris. On either side,
running from the door to the rear end
are large plate glass cases, containing
some of the most beautiful ideas in the
millinery art. In one case will be seen
an imported ''Mangin- Maurice" creation
of black pan velvet. trimmed with yell
low and black chenille, Paradise effect.
In another will be seen an Esther
Meyer model, pale blue, pan velvet, trim,
med with silver lace and ornamented with
ostrich plumes to match In one of the
windows is shown another Esther
Meyer" model of uncut velvet, Marie
Louise shape. ornamented with four large
plumes arranged to represent a Bourbon
F'ieur de Lis.
The Hirsch company have long since
been recognized as the pioneers and au-
thorities in Birmingham along the MILL
merry line. They employ about seventy
five people. and 1t must be admitted from
the beautiful display shown yesterday,
that they are -to-tAe-moment

MARTIAL LAW HAS
AIDED SOCIALISTS
WARSAW CITIZEN SAYS RUSSIAN
PEOPLE ARE NOW BETTER PRE-
PARED THAN EVER BEFORE TO
DEFEND, THEIR RIGHTS.

Mannheim, September 24.-Herr Rotter,
a delegate of the socialist party of Rus
sian Poland. in the course of a speech
before the national convention of Ger
man socialists here today, said:
IL come from the land of the bloodiest
measures against the people. Let me tell
you what we have done since the declar-
alton of martial law at Warsaw in Au-
gust, 1905. The masses in the city and
country are organized; we have freedom
of the press never before known, and
boys sell our papers in the streets. 1t
was a rare thing before the declaration
of martial law for private person to
have arms Today thousands are armed.
We have purged the police of their worst
element. We have not risen against the
autocracy, but we have laid the founda-
tons for a universal arming of the peo-
pie. We have gone still further, We have
made beginning by organizing the SOL
diers by whole regiments to stand by
our side They will not declare themselves
by open mutlnies, but they belong to us.
We do not expect to win over the whole
army. Some soldiers would be true to
the Emperor, but we expect to shake
their morale to such an extent that they
will easily come over"
All this followed the declaration of mar
tia law at Warsaw.
Frau Balabanoff, a delegate of the Rus
sian social democrats, said the members
of the party fought for a constitution as
a preliminary only to the realization OF
ideal economic aims.

To be able to accurately describe the
beauties to be seen at the opening of the
various department stores yesterday,
would take the best efforts of word ar
fist
Beautiful beyond comparison were the
stores, the costumes, hats, waists, and
last but not least. the ladies, who de-
spite the inclement weather. crowded the
shops to their capacity.
To say that the fall and winter dis
play as shown by the merchants of Biz
mingham is exceptionally attractive is
putting it mildly 1t is gorgeous. exquisite
and bewildering.
Every counter, case and table is laden
with the seasons choicest offerings, from
home and abroad, and the lady missing
this treat will have much to regret.
The following stores held their formal
fall and winter openings yesterday. which
opening. in a majority of cases, Will con-
tinue today and tomorrow.
