The Ferd Marx Store.

I do not know whether I have an especial fondness for the word progress sive" or not but at all events l like to use it in connection with the city of Bir- mingham, and particularly the merchants It Is about the only word that describes the condition of these ger lemen at the present day. I am passing my statement on my observations.
 While the various departments in this select store are riding lightly on the wave of fashion, and showing some remarkable effects in every department, l think it only fair to this concern to mention their new acquisition, or shall I say, new depart ment. It is that of a modern dressmaking department. The Ferd Marx store has recently obtained the services of Madame Thompson, a modste who has gained an enviable reputation In Atlanta. She comes to Birmingham with a full knowl- edge of the newest ideas, gleaned from her trip to New York City last August, at whc' time she visited the salons of the authorities of the world

Novelties In Ornaments for Evening
 Slippers.

Loveman. Joseph X Loeb are showing this season, a great many new ideas in practically every department Many of them are absolutely new and exclusive. Particularly so is a line of ornaments for evening slippers, that are very pret- ty, These ornaments were made in New York and are not only dainty but novel. The following are a few of the ideas and designs:
 A beaded bow, 1Ha inches long by I2 wide made of over GOO beads of vari- GUS colors a very pretty creation of cut steel and beads; another of wire, inter- woven with ribbon and decorated with beads; a very small square of black vel vet with Rhine stone center; another of velvet surrounded by stones; an ex- quiste satin band. with a pearl crescent, a very pretty design of pearl, with a pearl center, also one with a jappanned rim; one of gun metal leather. surround ed with dull mt gold, also one with wreath of gun metal. A charming chif- fon rosette, pink with Oriental spansles and tiny beads; another chiffon bow, with a pearl center; one made of pale rose kid, another of woven wire, trimmed with light lavender ruching, set with small holly berries in coral and one of shred ded chiffon in the form of a rosette. This latter is in pink and decidedly odd.
 These ornaments come in all shades to match any slipper or shoe, and will be found displayed in the shoe department.

The Cable Piano Co.

Tt Is an III wind that blOWS no one some good" The high winds that we have been having in Birmingham accompanied. by the rain, afforded me an opportunity that l am truly glad took advantage of. It was the occasion of visiting the build ing wherein is the above company.
 Having nothing particular to do, l called upon MT. J. E. Shelby general manager of the local office of the Cable company, and prevailed upon him to take me on a tour of inspection. What I saw not only impressed me but pleased me well. While of course many of the ladies and gentlemen of this city have visited at some time or other the concert hall, etc, For the benefit of those who have not, 1 desire to enumerate a few of the feat ures.
 On the third floor will be found the re- ception parlors, six in number. These par lors are sumpuouSly furnished. No two rooms are alike in color tone. the walls corresponding to the carpet and draperes. EXqui, ite rattan furniture is arranged tete-tete, while the walls and ceiling are frescoed in various suitable designs. In one of the rooms is an upright grand piano of the famous Conover make This 'is q decided novelty and must be seen to be appreciated. It is beautifully hand carved and in tone is superb.
 In another Is an interior player that is magnificent.
 
 nishngs, even to the electric fixtures.
 On the second floor will be found the concert or recital hall. This Is tastefully decorated and the acoustic arrangements are perfect.
 This hall Is ventilated by a mammoth exhaust, new arrangement, used for carrying of foul air and purifying the new supply of air as well.
 On a gallery or mezzanine floor will be found the offices. These also are elegant ly furnished, and in keeping with the gen. eral standard of excellence set through out.
 The ground or main floor Is devoted to a general show and salesroom, where will be found a number of magnificent nstru- ments.
 The repair department of this company Is thoroughly up-to-date and well worthy of mention.
 This is the company, 1t will be remem- bered. that furnished the new Hotel Flor en ,e with a magnificent Mason & Hamln while | was converslng with MT Shell by he received a telegram from the man. agement of the Lyceum theatre at De- catur ordering one of the justly famous Mason X Hamlin pianos. This, to my way of thinking, is a tribute to the company. It is hard enough now adays to sell anything, even by personal solicitation, but when buyers come to you, there must be a reason.

KILLED HER BROTHER.
Esther Mitchell Shot Him in Depot at
Seattle.

Esther Mitchell shot and instantly
killed her brother, George Mitchell, at
Seattle last Thursday afternoon in the
waiting room of the Union depot. The
shot was fired just as Mitchell rose to
take the evening train for Oregon. The
brother, who was acuitted only the
Tuesday before of Staying Franz Ed
mund Creffield, the leader of the "holy
rollers. F." dropped in his his tracks.
Esther Mitchell was at once arrested.
The Mitchells, George, Perry and
Fred, were sitting with Esther on a
bench in the big waiting room, talking
together and apparently on the best of
terms. When the Oregon train was
announced, George Mitchell rose and
started forward. His sister stepped to
his side and, pressing the revolver close
to his head, pulled the trigger before
anyone had realized what was happen
ing.
Esther Mithcell is the sister to avenge
whose alleged ill treatment George shot
Creffield. She has refused to have any
thing to do with her brother since the
shooting. Thursday was the first time
time they have been seen together on
good terms.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement:
Mrs. Creffield and l talked over the
matter of killing George. The one that
had the best chance was to do it. Mrs.
Creffield bought the gun.
We were at the room about O clock
during the afternoon and I thought
that I would have a better chance to do
it than Mrs. Creffield gave me the gun
and | was to do it. We agreed that it
was to be done as soon as possible.
Mrs. Creffield had been out once or
twice looking for George and if she had
got the chance she would have done it
and 1 would have done the same. The
first that got chance was to do it. Il
would have done it before if had got
a chance.
Esterh Mitchell is the 10 year Old
girl for whom her brother George shed
the blood of Franz Edmund .Creffield,
when he shot down the leader of the
so called holy rollers in Seattle, May
2. 1t was because of her alleged ruin
by the fanatical leader that Mitchell
too life and risked his own, and the
cold blooded murder of George Mitchell
is his reward.
