81 years old when he died, spending his
last days among the magnoiias and upon
, the shores of the gulf whose waves sing
a requiem to his glorious memory.
General Stewart always distinguished
himself in battle. but he mostly distin-
guished himself as a brigadier at the

WOULD PRESER We BEA UIY
OF HIGHLAND A VENUE

beautify the avenue OF Birminghams
pride. Although number of poles have
been erected and the company has been
put to some expense. the posts will be
removed from Highland avenue and an
other route will be chosen in order to pre-
serve the good looks of the avenue.
1t has been the policy of the admins
tration to preserve Highland avenue in
its natural beauty, not only to prevent
anything unsightly, but especially to
get rid of the telephone poles now there.
The avenue is the most ideal in Birming
ham and its beauty will no doubt, be
preserved and increased by the succeed
ing administrations.

School Bond Issue.
A matter of no secondary interest Will
be that of the vote on the proposed scnooi
bond issue of $350,000
Since the Board of Education requested
the city council to call an election to de-
eide whether or not the city should issue
the school bonds the question has been
thoroughly agitated. Letters have been
issued to the public by the Board of Ed
ucation setting forth the reasons why tho
vote tomorrow should favor the issuance
of the S350,0O0 worth of school bonds.
1t is an undisputed fact that the Biz
mngham schools are inadequate at pres
emit and it is set forth that the annexation
of the new territory under the Greater
Birmingham bill in October next year,
will overtax the present schools to an ex-
tent which will render them entirely in
adequate
with the s35O0OO derived from the issu-
ance of the school bonds it is proposed to
enlarge all of the present schools of the
citv with the exception of the High
school to convert the Paul Hayne school
into a High school for the accommodation
of the children on the Southside of the
city. and to use $4,000 of the money for
the construction of schools in the Tenth
and Eleventh wards, which are now badly
in need of school systems.
The proposition is the issuance of S35OOoO
worth of per cent SO-year bonds, the in
terest to be paid semi-annually.
EVERY effort pOsSipiO has DSSA ~--> -
bring out a favorable vote for the bond
issue and there appears to BE little doubt
of the carriage of the proposition.

New VeIvet Animals.

Fascinating black and white velvet
animals are quite familiar to all. This
is particularly true since the plush
Teddy bear leaped into such fren-
zied popularity that the crippled little
German woman who originated them
has, in less than decade. risen from
pauperism to the state of a near-mil-
lionairess
Every one tried to copy the famous
bear without violating that patent law
signified by the sign "geschutz' in the
hand of the animal himself, but the
best they could do was to make pussy
cats, Dummies and monkeys of velvet.
This summer they have still further
ornamented their efforts by giving
each animal square pink satin face,
and, If their beauty is not increased,
they at least challenge notice.

This mushroom S vie Of hat requires
soft and rather full arrangement of
the hair, especially at the back of the
neck, where ii IS necessary to fill out
the space under the brim where it
droops from crown extending unusu-

charming and dainty summer hats are
made with a brim much narrower
In front than anywhere else, and one
that widens very decidedly at the
sides and back until the edge of the
lace, net or batiste brim falls almost
to the shoulders. There is something
SO distinctly dainty and feminine in
this dropping frill that it appeals at
once to all women.
Where such an arrangement does
not prove becoming then the droop

with a colored ribbon tied around the
middle, one frill appearing above it,
