The auditorium is large, the seating capacity being aug mented by gallery and a ladies' parlor between the two entrances, which can be opened so as to be part of the audi torium. The inclined floor, circular seats, handsome memorial windows, choir gal lery in the rear of the pulpit, to which a splendid pipe organ will be added in few weeks, are parts of the elegant in- terior. The building is furnace-heated and brilliantly lighted by electricity.
 The music furnished by the choir yes terday would have done credit to any of the churches in the large cities. The selections were very fine and artistically rendered.

FORMER ALBANIAN
 TALKS OF HONDURAS
Harry L. Woodward Visits Anniston and Tells of His Prospecting Ex-
 Periences In Central America.

Anniston, January 9.-(speclaI.)-Har L. Woodward of Honduras, formerly of Atlanta and well known through the south as a miner and property developer. was in the city for a few hours Saturday as the guest of his former partner, Capt J. H, Mountain of the Real Estate ex- change. MT. Woodward was at one time interested in the mines of this section and naturally was inquisitive as to the developments which have been made since he left the county, some five years ago. MT. Woodward left New Orleans for Honduras in 1900 and in the intervening years has amassed a comfortable fortune as well as enjoyed rich experiences, which he takes pleasure in relating. Hr Wood ward states that the climate of his coun- try is ideal, but hardly exceeds that of Alabama.
 The plantation upon which he is se- curing gold is 25O miles from the coast and the country there is exceedingly rich in minerals and valuable woods, including mahogany and rosewood. Stock raising is profitable vocation as there is no tax on stock and no expense attached to the raising of it. The natives of Hon. duras are mostly Spaniards or Indians and are a thrifty, independent race. Pan. ming for gold in the creeks is their chief occupation and they are enabled to make good wages. but rarely work more than two or three days in the week. MT. Wood ward is now on his way to New York city to purchase machinery with which to carry on. his work in that country. He has an exceedingly interesting display of gold, silver and platinum, the total value of his outfit being well over 5000. MT. Woodward is arranging to stop over in Anniston for several days on his return trip in which event he will look oyer the territory in this vicinity and judge as to it's value in mineral deposits.

MAY REACH COMPROMISE.
Senate Might Agree to Plan for Rate
 Regulation.

Washington, January 29.-There was some talk about the Senate today of a railroad rate compromise, the suggestion being that either the EllSins' or the For aker bills should be made a part of the Deliver bill so that two courses of pro cedure could be open to the commission in regard to complaints regarding rates, one by the commission itself and the other by recourse to the courts. In case this programme was adopted, 1t is thought a rate bill could be passed in the Senate with very little opposition.
 The suggestion has not taken such defi- nlle shape as to receive serious consid- eration. but may be brought before the committee on interstate commerce at its meeting on Friday.

An Adaptation of the Sep
 arate Blouse

latter may be made either of heavy Irish Iacelor can be of the crepe or chiffon, with appliques of hand-em- broidered flowers on 1t, either in white or in soft pastel shades. The straps and small stiff bows holding down the rufies are of velvet to match the skirt.
 A striking blouse to be worn with a suede cloth jacket suit in the new Russian violet shade is the middle one, in rather heavy net dyed the ex act tone of the cloth. It is trimmed with shallow yoke of tucked mus lin. outlined with passementerie. which is continued in pleasing de- sign down the front of the blouse. Empire girdle bows and a tiny bias fold around the yoke are of deeper tone of violet velvet.
 Very stylish, indeed, is the last blouse, of ecru lace and the new shade of brown cloth, which forms a very artistic color scheme. The lace is so arranged that it peeps out between slashes of the cloth both on waist and sleeves in most bewitching fashion. Tiny silk but. tons and loops of silk cord the same shade as the cloth are used as a trimming.
 All these waists have the deep Empire sgirdles, high in back and rounding in front. They either match the skirt or else are made of the velvet or cloth with which the blouse is trimmed. They all faster in the back with buckles or orna ments.
 Even where the lace or net blouses are not made to match special costume, most of them show touch of color in them in the way of velvet bows or folds put on in odd designs mot so much as to be garish, but just enough to give an indescrib- ably Frenchy look.
 The allover lace waists, in both white and cream, will, of course, Do worn; so will the lingerie ones, by the way. They are too convenient to be discarded, but they gre eer- tainly outdistanced in popularity by the new ones to match the suits.
 It IS comparatively easy, however, for the clever woman to transform a separate lace waist into part of a costume by having adjustable trim mings that may be added when a dark gown is worii.
 In this way the blouse can also be utilized to wear as a house dress with white cloth or voile skirt.
 One of the prettiest of the all white waists is of an allovcr Ger man valeneiennes lace in rather a deep cream, embroidered with heav- fly padded coin and pin dots. Such a blouse worn with a white skirt is extremely useful for an evening at home or to assist at an informal little tea. For. after all. nothing is more becoming to young and old alike than an entirely white gown.
 One of this character has the merit of being comparatively un- crushable: it can be packed with out irreparable damage in a suit case, and even may be washed in tub, provided the skirt is of some material that stands water. us cash mere or r1ohair.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-11-25

Thus the Empire lines are simu- lated by many women who would utterly refuse to dress strictly "a la Josephine"--of extravagant tastes and wifely devotion.
 The chief factor in gaining this Empire effect is the new nirdle. This is on rather novel lf1es-~AlA ways rounded in front and sloping from six inches in the back to thFes and half inches in front.
 These girdles, whether separats or in shades matching the gown, arc made with the material cpt on the bias, in order that they fall into softer and more pliant folds. They are heavily boned underneath on each side of the back, at tho sides and front.
 The fastening is always at the back, and very dressy and orha. mental they are with their tiny buckles in queer designs and . hAR. ing, rather small bow Ak the tep.
 The girdle illustrated is to b4 worn with a separate blotlsA, and is of white satin, ornamehted with three oblong gilt buckles and A sstM little bow of the satin.
 Paste buttons in different sikas and of rather gay designs are also much used on these gifdles. which, by the way, make charming Christ nas presents. No woman can have too many of them.
 As rule, wben one is making ! uirdle for s gift it is safer to have them either of white or black, as they prove more generally useful. A pale blue or pink. however. looks lovely with the lace waists now SO popular.

Little Points in the French WOman'S S
 Dress
PARIS, 'Oe.

AhASp VOs T HOUGH the Salon d'Au-
 tonne" does not offer much
 of an opportunity for the
 study of high art, it is, ney- crtheless, very useful. For fashion has decreed that this is the "chic" place to parade your new fan clothes. So every afternoon, just before tea time, the gay world as- .sembles in the great salons of the Grand Palais to laugh ovet the funny impressionist puzzles, which. fortunately, no one seems to take seriously.
 Among those nice little points of dress that to the well-dressed French woman are even more im- portant than her hat and gown, first to De noticed Is the change in glove fakhions. White gloves arc much less worn. And, strangely enough, they are seen more with the severe, long-sleeyed tailor suit than with any other.
 When mousquetaire gloves ac. company the shorter sleeved cos. tune they are oftenest light tan Or chanois shade, and frequently they are black. The latter is a most ex. travaRant fashion, for evefyb6aS knows how soon q black glove loses its pristine freshness, and then it iA useless to the woman who knows what an i'll effect it gives to her whole costume.
 Shoes continue in the l0nN sauare-toed shape. For afternoon wear those with black patent leather vamps and pale gray suede tops are best liked. Though there are many high-heeled dark brown kid, with lighter brown suede tops. The efs feet in either case is that Of an overgaiter. but without the elGznsy thickness of the latter.
 When there arc brown shoes there are apt to be tan gloves and a leather-brown feather boA---the latest shade for this indispensable accessory of the well-dressed Parib. ienne's toilette.
 Brown voils have grown even more popular. They have small vel vet dots .sprinkled generously over the fine golden brown mesh, or that of more extravagant creamy white. The latter is invariably indescrib. ably becoming.
 In tlle category of beeoningness might be mentioned the. present neck "hxings." Those very high linen collars, so dea= to q French woman's heart, have been rendered much less trying, and, accordingly, more numerous, by the present way of making. Though they are just as stiff, they are, apparently, much less so because of the hand-embroid- cry which covers the single thick ness of linen forming the outer turnover. Then, the handkerchief linen jabots, edged with baby Irish lace, which are now worn as neck ties, make the whole arrangement handworked and very lovely.
 In colored gowns 1t is the same. There is always he transparent yoke of filmy lace, baby Irish Or point d'alencon preferably. This, indeed stretching over the throat like the skin itself, is the most be- coming thing we have had in many a day. k. ID.
