on the table before him a large assort-
ment of bottles OF sake and also a
number of wins bottles. together with a.
large assortment Of wine glasses. After.
he was well along in his argument he
called attention to tAe exhibit and IN
formed the court that IL desired he would

To Remodel Station.

The remodeling of the union passenger
station here will begin at an early date.
1t Is reported that the contract has been
let to the man who built the new Louis
vile and Nashville station at Gadsden,
and as soon az contracts In Montgomery
are completed the work will begin here
The remodeling consists principally Of
making the present ladies' waiting room
q place for the general public, and the
present gentlemen's waiting room into a
room for the ladies. New flooring will be
put in throughout the building, tile being
used in the different toilets. and the ar
rangement of the ticket Office will be
changed SO that tickets may be pur-
chased from the general waiting room. An
umbrella shed will be constructed over
the tracks, concrete platforms will be
put In and the question of erecting gates
to the train shed has been agitated. 1t
is thought, however, that the traffic does
not justify the latter, as there are sell
dom more than two trains in the station
at one time.

The opening of the Shriners' indoor
day night is an event in which Greater
Birmingham is rapidly becoming inter-
ested. A winter circus in the district is
something out of the ordinary and an
indoor circus something absolutely new.
The Rhoda Royal circus is also some
thing new, 1T being the only circus OF
any consequence that ever made tour
of the country and exhibiting under roof
during the winter months. The show it.
self, from all reports. is of very high
oaliber, and gets its ensemble from the
ranks of all the leading circuses of
America all OF which are now IN winter
quarters. In this way only is the win
ter circus made possible.
The Rhoda Royal two-ring circus, hip
podronne and wild west is as the name
indicates. a combination of circus and
wild west exploits, the wild west SHOWS,
as we'll as the big oircuses, All lending
their best artists to make the Rhoda

Wheeler, and had taken path that had
been made by employees on the two farms.
the two ladies living only about 800 yards
apart. The path crosses the railroad
diagonally. and from all that can be
learned Mrs. Higgins had on a sunbonnet
which she had pulled well down over her
head and ears, this serving as a shield
from the wind and deafened her SO she
could not hear the approach of the train,
or the cries of several men near who wit
messed the accident.
Whether the train passed over her body
or knocked her off the track could not
be learned definitely, but death is sup
posed to have been instantaneous. APP
parently the wind was blowing at a good
rate directly against the train, which
carried the noise of Its approach away
