don't suppose it is necessary for me to
say that small mirror. or a silver
mirror, or mirror of any sort not my
own has any particular fascination for
me-
Miss McReynolds, who has had per-
haps more experience than most college
girls with stage matters and stage peo-
pie, wondered at the audacity of the
stage manager who had cast her, with
out her knowledge or consent, for
star part in the Mirror Mystery
I know nothing about any mirror
or mirrors belonging to Miss Busley,"
said Miss McReynolds. My own be-
longings were mixed somewhat with
other peoples after the performance
in the theater, but an inventory has
not shown that l am the possessor OF
anybody's mirror or mirrors. l haven't
the slightest idea where Miss Busley's
mirrors are, but she has my sincerest
hopes that they viii be recovered and
that all will again be Well"

National Supreme Court

CINCINNATI Dec. S.-The Supreme
Court OF the United States will be
asked TO pass on the constitutionaIity
Of the eight-hour labor law. The first
action toward that end was taken in
the United States Supreme District
Court here today.

Kirk Company, recently convicted of
employing laborers for more than eight
hours a day a contract on Gov
eminent dam below this city. The mo-
ton for new trial was overruled- The
attorneys gave notice that the case

law.

Two of our splendid new eleVa- tors have been completed and are in excellent running order on the Third Avenue side of the store. Please take them to reach the second and third floors.
 These new elevators are, we be- lieVe, the largest and finest passen- ger elevators to be found in the city. They have been built on the most approved plans, with every safety device, and every de- tail which would add strength and permanency to them.
 The other new elevators that are being put in on the south side of the store will be ready in about month. and the big store will then be equipped in the most up-to-date manner to care for its patrons; to handle the largest crowds in safety, and to take customers to and from the upper floors in the quickest manner
 The old elevators in the front and rear of the store have been taken out. and the space formerly given to them will be used for the inn provement of the interior of the store.
 We have made many improve ments in the store in the past few years, but none which hav&proved such an important feature as the adding of the four new elevators, and the encouragement of the w. rious departments which the tear ing out of the old elevators will permit.
 And while these improvements entail great expenditure on our part and sometimes a little discomfort on your part and ours-they are made solely with an eye to making the biggest store south of the Ohio as attractive and comfortable as it is commodiouS.
 The rest of the improvements which we have in mind will be completed in the near future, and we will then have store of which we will be proud, and which will add considerably to the future we'll being of the city of Birmingham.

cellar to attic, with a protection which nothing else could provide.
 These sprinkler heads are placed every 10 feet, along on inch water pipes. Each of them is fitted with plug of solder which melts at given temperature.
 In case of fire, the heat melts the solder, and the water pours out and is distributed by the rotary cap at the top of the head.
 In case the water is not shut off, the entire contents of our 10000 gallon tanks on the roof of the build ing would pour down into the store.
 Besides the protection afforded the inside of the store by this sys- tenn, we are now putting in another system which will sprinkle the out side of the store in the same man. her in case of fire in neighboring buildings.
 No building in this city is better protected from fire than this big store.

Unique Features of New Jewish
Synagogue.

The new Jewish synagogue being erected
at the corner of 9th and l streets north
west stands unique in having several mod
ern features as a part Of Its construction.
Richly Crnamented terra Gotta is used lib
orally. temporary suspension OF the
construction was made the last two weeks
owing to the lack of this material. A new
supply has been shipped and rapid progress
in the construction OF the building will then
be made by the builder. Arthur Cowsill.
All the iron column supports and girders
which usually support the intermediate
and lighter floor beams were eliminated.
and REINFORCED concrete columns. beams,
girders and floor slabs substituted. If this
method proves successful there Is no doubt
of it being used in other large buildings.
1t is stated that the cost OF this construc-
ton is considerably less than all-iron con-
struction. and the strength is proportion
ately strong.
The official test by the building inspec-
tors Office and the architect Mr.. Louis
Levi of Baltimore, Nd, will be made from
IL am. to 2 pm. tomorrow. Mr.. Simon
Oppenheimer. chairman of the building
committee. and Arthur Cowsill. builder,

BRYAN ON MORALS.
He Agrees With Beveridge About Re
generation.

WABASH, October 23.-1n speech made
before a large crowd here. Mr.. Bryan said:
Senator Beveridge has been quoted as
saying in Washington not long ago that
what we need in this country Is moral
regeneration In both public and private
life, and l believe that Senator Beverage
Is right The Investigations that have
taken place in the last two years show a
moral degradation in both business and po-
Ntical life All over the country there has
been an attempt to purify politics.
There has been a tight against graft ana
crookedness in Office, and Investigations
have shown that in the great business COM
munities there has been constant immoral
fly under the guise of modern business
methods and we find that these men have
not only been plundering the public at
large but swindling their closest associates
In their own enterprises. There has been
a revival of virtue and l believe it means
a great deal to this country, for II is the In
dication of men following the dictates of
their consciences, and conscience. after all,
Is the most potent force that man knows
on earth"
Mr.. Bryan said that Philadelp hia. which
he called "the most corrupt city In the
country" had been redeemed by the peo-
pie, and though it did not have a reform
mayor it had reformed mayor. John w.
Kern Joined Mr.. Bryan at Huntington. The
speech there was a review of the work OF
the democratic party.

STRIKERS STILL UGLY
BUT THERE Is NO ACTUAL OUT
BREAK AT NEWCASTLE,

NEWCASTLE, Pa, October 23.-An is
quiet In the furnace strike situation here
today. The Shenanago valley steel plant and
the Raney and Mckinley furnaces are still
in partial operation, but the Rosena and
Red Jacket closed during the night. This
morning the entire night city police force
was detailed to guard the plants from to
6 o'clock, while the day-turn men went to
the works. The police found the plants
picketed, but the groups Of strikers were
easily dispersed and there was no outbreak.
The steel plant and two furnaces yet
operating are running under reduced forces
many of the employees not having been able
to enter the works last night. A report
last night that one Of the three strikers shot
yesterday had died caused much excitement
among the strikers. and mob Of fully 400
gathered on Raney street at the approach
to the steel plant, and became very threat
ening. The city police were again called
and additional Carnegie police were brought
here in the night from Youngstown and
Sharon. The strikers now demand a wage
increase of Is cents daily. The three
wounded strikers are doing well today and
all have a chance for recovery. General
Superintendent John Oursler today said
there Is no possibility Of the strikers de-
mands being granted while the trouble is
on.

SUBMITTED TO COUNSEL.
Question Affecting Transfers Between
Local Railway Companies.

Corporation Counsel Thomas has been
asked by the Commissioners to determine
whether the charters of the local street
railroad companies require them to give
universal transfers. This Is q result of q
communication received by the Commission
ers from Mr.. Kepler Hoyt Of the Victoria
apartment house.
Mr.. Hoyt stated he was informed that
the charters of the car companies doing
business in the District require them to
give universal transfers, which would in
clude transfers from the cars of one COM
pany to those of rival company, but that
such transfers are not given and cannot be
compelled. because the acts Of Congress
chartering these companies makes no pro-
vision for penalizing the companies for not
furnishing the transfers.
He concluded his communication by say
ing: win you inform me upon the legality
in this case, and II the companies are re-
quired to give transfers II a suit Of annul-
ment Of their charters in question for the
violation would hold.
