SPECIAL NOTICE.

The management of the Empire The atre begs to announce to the puDhc that since its opening about three weeks ago at the popular stand Of the Majestic Theatre before its removal to other quarters, its aim has been to give the people of Montgomery and the visiting public only such attractions in the way of Moving Pictures as would warrant their appreciation.
 The past week has demonstrated our desire to show more perfect reproduc- tions from life and we shall continue to render attractions more ideal ana realistic from time to time.
 The Empire is pleased with the popular support which has been ac- corded it, and has recently installed at considerable expense two Of the most modern and automatically perfect pie ture machines, which are operated by two expert picture machine electri- clans. The machines show only the fuli-sized pictures and are operated instantly, one after the other, so that there is no wait between exhibitions.
 The management has arranged to show only the latest and best class of pictures, and will give exhibitions from time to time of any special attrac- tions. just as was done when exhibit- ing the worids Championship Base ball Game, Pittsburg vs. Detroit re- gently.
 The seating capacity at the Empire is ample, and more comfortable chairs have been put in. The entire building was "done over' by artistic decorations before opening day. Improved venti- iation was inaugurated and the grand foyer decorated with magnificent palms. A new electric flash light sign was in- stalled. and no expense has been spared to give the people of Montgomery the most up- to- date amusement of the Kind procurable.
 The patronage of ladies and children Is solicited under our guarantee that no objectionable characters are admit ted. The ease and comfort of our patrons is of first importance. along with the high quality of pictures daily exhibited.

Winters. secretary of the association. everything went or without hitch. It was due to his untiring efforts that the fair was he success 1t turned out to be. During the past ten days he had everything at his fingers end and attended to all bus mess tn lightning fashion.
 All the superintendents of the yari- ous departments worked hard this year and each one had an excellent exhibit. Hon. J. A. Wilkinson.

Watt, of Greenville, with the swine department. and M. c. Cook, of this city. with his poultry display. also had some great exhibits in their line.
 Weman'a DepaFtment Complete.
 But possibly the most complete of eil. and really the most entertaining to many of the visitors, was the woman's department tssupertntended by Mrs. John Cross, of Montgomery.wThe displays along this line occupied all the space allowed and. there were more entries this. year than .eyev before. The euli- nary exhibits were complete in every detail and represented jar after jar of deiicacies.
 In speaking about the fair last night Major A. c. Forbes, acting President of the Fair Association, In place of R. c. Chambers. who is still in New York. said:
 The Fair was a success. With the support the management was given. think we have done we'll We tried to secure everything to please the public and we worked hard to make all the exhibits and displays attractive. The Fair has been q good thing for the lo- cal merchants and we hope that they have been benefited by the visiting throngs. There was nothing happened this year to mar the fair week and all in all 1t was 6 good, clean fair"
 R.. y. Chambers. President of the Faira Association. who, went to New York a short time before the opening of the fair on account of iil-heaith. Is still In the metropolis.

acter, and 1t was charged that the city had not done its part In caring for contagious diseases.
 At that time. Mayor Gunter pointed out to the society that 1t was not the fault of the city or It's sanitary de- partment that such condition pre- vailed, but that 1t was due to the care lessness of the doctors themselves. whom he claimed to be negligent in the matter of making reports required by law in all such cases.
 Mayor Gunter said last night that the city would from now on require the doctors of Montgomery to live up to both the spirit and the letter of the law regarding reports on contagious diseases. deaths and births.
 Failure to make these reports Is a misdemeanor punishable by line and im- prisonment, and the Mayor said that the criminal statutes would be in- yoked where 1t could be shown that any physician had failed through repeated neglect or wilfully to make reports in such cases. ss
 Chief Clerk King of the sanitary de- partmeut. iudited q, letter to the Mont gotnery Society of Physicians and Sur geons yesterday, in which he calls the attention of it's membership to their negligence in these matters and notify ing them that prosecution would foi- low repeated infraction of the laws.
 Mayor Gunter said yesterday that he intended also toA make the dairy and milk inspection laws of Montgomery live issues. and should take steps to have every dairy and all milk sold In Montgomery inspected regularly.
 An assistant to the city chemist Is to be appointed to take care of the additional work that will se placed upon the chemists department. The duties of the new officer will be con- fined to milk and dairy inspection.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens in New York, Roy Car
denhue, the story-teller. inspecting a
queer reptile owned by George Godfrey of
Tiffany's. Roy and Barris and Pierpont,
two friends. depart on a hunting trip to
Cardinal Woods, a rather obscure local
lty. Barris revealed the fact that he had
joined the secret service for the purpose
of running Down a gang of gold makers.
Prof. LAGRANGE, on discovering the
gangs formula, a been mysteriously
killed. Barris received a telegram of in
structions. He and Pierpont set out to
locate the gold making gang. A valet re-
ported seeing a queer Chinaman in the
supposedly ~untenanted woods. Roy went
hunting. He fell asleep in a dell. On
awakening he beheld a beautiful girl at a
small lake. A birthmark, resembling a
dragons claw, on Roy's forehead had a
mysterious effect upon the girl, who said
her name was Ysonde. Suddenly she dis
appeared. Fleeing in terror Roy beheld
a horrible Chinese ,visage peering at him
from the woods. Barris and Pierpont re-
turned. Barris exhibited a reptile, like
that owned by Godfrey. A bali of sup
posed gold. he held, suddenly became
alive. He told of the Kuen-Yuin. a Chi
nese nation of sorcerers, numbering 10O,-
900, 900, and explained that the Moon Ma
ker, their ruler, whose crescent symbol
was a dragon claw, was supposed to have
recently returned to earth. Barris Pier
pont and Roy failed to find Ysonde's dell.
Later. Roy, hunting, came to the beautl-
full spot, where he found Ysonde. She
told him how her stepfather, evidently a
Chinaman, made gold and of his myster1-
Gus actions. Suddenly all turned black
and Roy awoke to find himself stunned
and bleeding on his W doorstep. Roy
recovered quickly. Barris, under a mys-
FERROUS spell. told of his stay among. the
Chinese sorcerers, his love there and its
false ending.

USE FOR THE SEPARATE TUNlc.
Will Transform Old-Fashioned Frock
Into Something Smart.

Clever women have found out that a
separate tunic, made of another ma
terial than the gown and draped over
it, is an excellent method of altering
an old-fashioned frock.
There are some skirts that are toe
short to be lifted up even for two
inches on the bodice to give the em'
pire effect, and they are too much
out of style to year as they are.
If the skirt and bodice are put to-
gether by their Innings and two or
three folds of ~self-colored material
neatly draped around the waistline in
order to make it invisible, the founda'
ton work is finished.
The tunic may be made of net,
chiffon cloth, bands of net and en-
broidered satin, or all-over lace edged
with fur or gold g%alloons.
This is cut with a seam down mid
die of back and neatly draped three
inches above the waistline, headed with
folds of the material or a piece of the
trimming used elsewhere.
This tunic drops from bust to
knees and gives the exact line that it
needs this winter on smart frockS.

KEEPING THE PIANO IN ORDER.
Music Lover Has Growing Plants In
Water in Drawing Room.

A matron who is foud of music and
owns a handsome grand piano says
she keeps it in tune much longer and
prevents it from drying out with the
intense heat of her city house by
growing plants In water in her draw
ing room.
She raises Chinese lilies and hya-
cinths in glass bowls and jars and US
ually has standing on the piano or
near it a big rose jar or a large glass
pitcher filled with a dozen or more
vines of tradescantia growing in wa
ter.
This vine is better known as wan
dering Jew" and thrives as well in
water as in soil. 1t comes in the plain
green and ~variegated leaves, and is a
charming addition to a room as we'll
as making the air more moist. The
vines root readily in water and need
comparatively little light.
About once a week the plants are
carefully removed, the jar washed and
filled with pure water. A small lump
of charcoal in the water will keep it
from getting impure.
