No Race Suicide in Egypt.

lidTrlet NuilIlD1 III LtSlit w tShiS.
 There Is no race suicide in Egypt. From Alexandria to Assuan the country is filled with babies. round-faced and solemn-ex- pressoned little tykes who look out upon the world with great eyes that are paint ed with kola. making their tiny faces ap- pear top-heavy, so large do they seem. As in all Oriental countries, children m Egypt are welcomed. The more the mer- rier. The wife is not even considered a true wife until she becomes mother. The estimation in which she Is neld, not only by her husband, but also by her friends. depends, in a great degree, upon her fruitfulness and upon the preservation of her children for, by men and women. rich and poor, barrenness is considered curse and a reproach. So highly are na- bies esteemed in that strange country of the Nile, that in the days before slavery
 was abolished slave who contributed q child to her masters family circle and
 which he acknowledged as his own there
 by earned her freedom according to the
 law and in the majority of instances she was further honored by being taken Us her masters wife, or one of them, and becoming entitled to the luxuries of the harem. So frequently do babies come, and so numerous are their deaths, that ] the Egyptian government has never been able to nrncure census that was at all

Running Water was eaten ing the winner at every jump, Tn iact' ten feet further the result would have been different. As the race was run, Kun ming Water vas the best horse. She was on the outside all the way and conse- quently covered more ground than any thing else in the race.
 Flectioneer made the pace for the first mile attended by Ballot. Salvidere was running easily in third place with Run ming Water fourth. In the back stretch the second time round Salvidere went to the front with Running Water right with him.
 These two went away from the others and had the race between them from the far turn home. They came into the stretch with Salvidere in front and Run ming Water a length back. As they passed the lighth pole Running Water began to close 1t was here that Miller's strength failed him. Running Water, running on her own courage, never faltered, pul she couldn't quite get up.

PRETTIEST PLACE
 IN ALL THE TOWN Is the Store of the Burns Jew
 elry Company. SINCE ITS LATE COMPLETE
 RENOVATION. The Art Room With It's Elegant Fur nishings, Scores of Electric Lights and Gorgeous Stock of Rich Si- yer, Sparkling Cut Glass and
 Art Goods Is Exquisite.
AN INSPECTION IS INVITED.

The store of the Burn Jewelry company
 at 1907 Third avenue, since it's recent
 complete renovation, is the peer or any
 jewelry store in the south. This is the
 verdict of every visitor, without excep-
 tion, and MT. Burn is receiving the con- gratulations of his score of friends daily over the happy consummation of the work begun in the summer
 The big show windows were completely transformed. and are now things of beauty 10 the passerby The ceiling and walls have been handsomely decorated and the entire interior of the store changed and rearranged with an eye 10 appearance. The attention given to the
 finish of the store is not all, however. as the show cases and wall cabinets fairly teem with the rich wares recently re- ceived. which include everything from a
 plain gold collar button to the most mag nificent diamond. and from a simple sil- yer spoon to the most elaborate sterling silver dinner service, as well as all the other articles between these.
 The greatest innovation, however. Is
 the new art room, and in the possession of it the Burn Jewery company stands
 in class by itself. It is in the rear of the main display room, and Is about 9 feet square. The walls and ceilings are richly decorated. the floor highly finished
 and 1t is furnished with elegant rugs and draperies Through the medium of a dozen switches, the light can be varied
 from a mellow twilight to one of dazzling radiance. In the center is a massive ma hogany table containing a great cut glass punch bowl and cups. splendid ma hogany hall clock is here and softly chimes the time away. On stands around the room are displayed many fine chests containing the best examples of the sll- versmiths and glass cutters art. Here
 the visitor sees many things of surprising
 beauty-one notable novelty being a com
 plete wineglass set of French pink glass
 heavily decorated with pure gold lear.
 Many fine specimens of silver deposit
 ware. hand-painted china and genuine Italian marble statuary are also seen. The
 electroliers are also worth a visit to see.
 It would be difficult task to describe
 the attractions of this wonderful room. It
 was made for the edificaton of the pa irons, and MT. Burn extends a cordial invitation to those who would be inter- ested to call and see it.
 From the art room is an easy stairway leading to the optical department in charge of pr. A. Ecker, one of the most
 careful and skilled opticians in the south. Dr. Ecker has every appliance needed for the accurate testing of the eyes and the careful adjustment of glasses where needed.
 Taken all in all, the store of the Burn Jewelry company Is great credit to a progressive city like Birmingham and
 well merits the large patronage it is re- ceiving

University October ]. - (Special) With the thermometer standing about 90 in the shade, Alabama and Mary vile fought for forty minutes to a result of 17 to in favor of the former Although she two teams could not put up a finished article of ball, the play was at all times fierce enough to keep the spectators keyed up to high pitch of excitement. Except on one or two plays, Alabama gained almost at will through Maryyilles line and around the ends, while on the defen- sive her line was impregnable. The crimson white backfield played star ball and several men in the line did eXcellently.
 Alabama received the kick-on on her 15-yard line. On number of line plays with Reidy and Howle doing most of the work, and aided by recovered punt, Alabama pushed Sturdivant over the goal for the first touchdown. Time 5Ia minutes. Reidy kicked goal. The remainder of this helf was spent in an exchange of punts by which MaryVille was the gainer.
 In the second half Alabama kicked off to Maryville. After MaryVille had gained 50 yards on end runs and forward pass 'versity regained the bali on tumble, to lose 1t immediately on a forward pass. After losing 25 yards on intellectual line plays, Maryville punted 20 yards.

 Three characteristics of Egyptian ba- bies impress themselves upon the tourist
 The first is their beauty; for, although many of them are blind, or nearly St, from an uncleanllness and ophthalmia, they are, all round-faeed and exquisitely modelled their features are classicaily beautiful, and their color is exactly like bronze. Sef-control is the next most im- pressive feature about these little folk, for it is most unusual thing to hear an Egyptian baby cry. Noticeable, also, IS these little folks usefulness. It would take a very indifferent person indeed to fail to notice the infant toilers in Egypt
