BAD FIRE THREATENED.
Flames Discovered In Second Avenue Furniture Store Yesterday Morning.

What looked for some time as though 1t would be a bad fire broke out about 5:3O o'clock yesterday morning . in the store of the Home Furniture company on Sec ond avenue, between TIwenty-frst and Twenty-second streets. The fire broke out on a deck in the rear of the first floor, the office being on the deck, while quite a quantity of furniture was also stored upon it.
 When the firemen reached the place 1t was full of smoKe, and 1t was with diff flculty that they reached the rear of the store. The chemical wagon was the only one used. After the chemical preparation had been exhausted a large hose from water plug was connected to the chem ical wagon and the water run through the tanks and chemical hose.
 The origin of the fire is unknown The damage, however, 1t is not believed, will amount to more than $50 or s10O. That the fire was discovered at the time it was is regarded as having been a great piece of luck, as it was just gaining headway when the firemen broke into the store Situated in solid row of business houses as the furniture store is, the fire might have created great blaze had it gotten headway.

ITALIANS OBSERVE
 NATIONAL AFFAIR
DINNER GIVEN TO PROMINENT VISITOR IN HONOR OF ADOP- TON OF ITALIAN CoNSTlTU- TON IN 134e.

The anniversary of the Italian Statute was celebrated yesterday at the residence of Dr. and Mrs Charles Gnassi at Twen- ty-sixth street and Seventh avenue. The occasion was in commemoration of the adoption of the constitution of Italy in 1S4s. which changed the government of Italy from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy.
 The decorations at the home were ap- propriate and abundant and the stars and stripes and the national flag of Italy were much in evidence. The dining room was profusely decorated in the national colors. An elegant course dinner was served. comprising viands cooked in the inimit- able Italian style. About 75 guests were present who did full justice to the hos pitality of the host and hostess. s. R. Guarino was master of ceremonies and acquitted himself with his usual ability. After dinner the guests were entertained with several patriotic and classic songs and other musical selections. The guest of honor was MT. Frank Carpigiani, the consular agent of Italy. Among the guests were pr. Talley, Mr. Rose and c. H. Mandy.
 MT. Carpigiani made an address in English and then in Italian. He paid a high compliment to the American gov- ernment He spoke of the cordial rela- tions that existed between Italy and the United States and expressed hope that they would continue. He said he deeply appreciated the courtesy that had been extended to him as a representative of the Italian government while in Bir- mingham, and that his desire and aim would be to elevate the standard of his countrymen so as to fill all the requires ments of a citizen
 Mrs. L. O. Torina added much to the pleasure of the assembled guests by the splendid manner in which she rendered a number of classical selections on the piano.
 During the evening Dr. Talley was | called on for a speech in which, after ex4 pressing his appreciation of the hospital- ity extended. he paid high compliment to the host, Dr. Gnassi, as to his ability as a physician. pr. Talley was on the board that examined pr. Gnassi and stated that his papers were perfect. Sev- eral speeches were made in the Italian language appropriate to the occasion which were much enjoyed by the assem- bled guests.
 The host, Dr. Gnassi. came to Brming- ham from New Orleans about year ago and has already established large and growing practice. He came to the United States about seven years ago and lo- cated in New Orleans, meeting much suc- cess in his chosen profession He served with distinction in the Italian army and was retired with the rank of lieutenant

ANTI-SALOON MEN
 WILL MEET TODAY

The headquarters committee of the Anti-Saloon league will hold meeting this afternoon at 4 o'clock for the pur- pose of taking up law enforcement measures, and the necessary legisla- tion which must be put through the ex- tra session.
 While the convention of the league indorsed the proposition of campaign ing for constitutional prohibition many of the leaders do not think this the appropriate time. and it is now most probable that the league will. devote it's time exclusively to trength ening the already existing prohibition laws.
 The committee will hardly request Governor Conner to put this provision in his call.
