Silk Buyer Returns.

MT. w. M. Smith, silk buyer for the Big Store" Loveman, Joseph & Loeb returned yesterday from the eastern cities. where he has been some three or four weeks in the interest of his firm.
 Things look fine up east" said Mir Smith, "and you can hear a good deal of Birmingham up there. Of course always take closer notice of things concerning my particular line than I do of anything else, and this trip has greatly impressed me with the low prices at which Birmingham merchants sell goods. In one window of a big store I saw satins that were marked $2.50 a yard, and Loveman, Joseph & Loeb sell the same goods at $2. And this may be applied even to cotton goods. Bingham of well known brand selling at 121a cents a yard in New York and in Philadelphia sells here at 10 cents a yard, and no big fuss made about it.'
 MT. Smith bought heavily this sea- son. he says than he ever has before and he expressed some surprise to find goods really scarce. Had 1t not been for contracts placed many months ago, and the favorable standing with the trade generally of Loveman, Joseph & Loeb, MT. Smith says he would have had considerable difficulty in providing for this clientage. New silks are coming in by every express now at Loveman, Joseph & Loeb's.

D0G MUST
 PUT ON MUzzLE Proclamation Issued By the
 Mayor Yesterday RABIES TOO PREVALENT MuzzIes Must Be In Place By Thurs day or Animals Will Be Taken
 Up By the Authorities
 and Killed.
RABIES TOO PREVALENT

A sad day is coming for the poor dogs.
 Mayor Ward has issued a, proclamation that all must be muzzfed and kept muz- zled for a period of 60 days beginning February 20.
 The mayor states that this action is based on the fact that rabies are pre- valent in the city. He states that all who own dogs and fail to muzzle and keen them muzzled. will be subject to a fine of from $1 to s1o0.
 In addition all unmuzzled dogs will be captured by the dog catcher and de- stroyed.
 There are a great many dogs in the city of Birmingham, and each dog must suffer According to the proclamation no recess time is granted, and several were debating yesterday as to how the food would be placed in the mouth of the dogs. Should the muzzle be detached the owner would be subject to heavy fine, and the dog in danger of death.
 Those who sell dog muzzles aS. pre- pairing for business rush. Several firms had them hanging to the front yester- day. It is said, too, that the price will De puSHeu up pSB UT lWo' Ah A' SN pected that the rush will begin Monday, for no one 1t is thought, will dare to go contrary to the instructions of the mayors proclamation
 The owners of dogs were considering another feature yesterday. Everyone does not know what a muzzle is, having al- ways heretofore treated his dog as one of the family, and having had no need for methods of punishment and restraint. In placing the muzzle over the mouth of the dog some dexterity is acquired, and in order that no owner might technical ly offend, it Is not improbable that in- structions will be issued.
 Birmingham has always kept close eye on the dogs of the city They must first of all be licensed. Secondly they must be kept off the streets. As is known an average of 1900 dogs, hundred per month, are officially executed in the city, and some time ago, lurid accounts of these executions were published in the daily press.

 The Blackfriars, the University of Ala bama Dramatic club, gave performance of Macbeth" at the Jefferson theatre last night before a representative audi ence in which were to be seen many uni- versity alumni and patrons and pa- tronesses of the Blackfriars, in addition to others.
 The performance whole was very creditable indeed for amateurs pr. Fred erick D. Losey of the University of Ala bama faculty, took the role of Macbeth, and he was given able support by Mrs. Losey as Lady Macbeth There was a smoothness about the performance that was very gratifying to those who are &C., customed to view the opening of an anna teur performance with misgiving Both Dr. Losey and Mrs. Losey displayed con siderable dramatic ability, while the large cast was not without merit. Sam F. Cla- baugh as Macduff, M. P. Stiles as Duncan and Clement R. Wood as Banquo ac- quilted themselves we'll The entire com pany was much above the usual amateur organization. A performance of Mac beth" is no inconsiderable undertaking, even for players who have had years of experience on the stage. That the Black friars succeeded in holding the interest and attention of a critical audience is tribute to the careful training they had received and their aptness for dramatic work. The costumes were an elaborate lz1x. x.f.s. for use by the Blackfriars.
 From all indications the matinee given yesterday afternoon and the perform ance last night were also successful in a financial way, and it is possible that the appearance of the Blackfriars in Birming- ham will be made an annual event. If such is the case the university players will be sure of a popular welcome.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Views of Music Festival.
, Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In response to the request of Joseph B. Babb secretary of the Commercial club, Birmingham, for an expression of my views in reference to a musical festival, I beg to submit the following:
 I have read with much interest inc various published letters, and as one who has been for many years closely associat- ed with music and festivals, I most hear tily agree with Secretary Babb that Bir- mingham can, and ought to have music festival worthy of the city, and from my own personal experience I know there are plenty of lovers of music in the district who would gladly welcome the formation of festival choir.
 The chief purpose of musical festival is to foster the love of music, by form ing an organization for the cultivation of the highest and best form of music, the human voice divine. that purpose ean be best attained.
 My idea would be to form a choir of 200 to 300 voices composed of sections in Birmingham, Bessemer Ensley and Woodlawn the whole to meet twice a month in Birmingham for full rehear- sal; also to form orchestral society in conjunction with the choir. thereby developing local talent, in preference to spending a large sum of money import ing an orchestra, the pleasure of which, we would have but for a very brief sea son; whereas, a local choir and orchestra we would have with us at all times, permanent institution, and would soon be- come credit to the city.
 To accomplish this I would suggest that we follow to a more or less extent the lines upon which the great musical festivals are run in Birmingham, Leeds, Hereford, Cardiff and other places in Eng land.
 At the head of the organization we need president, a prominent man, a man who loves music, man who would adorn any organization. many such men are to be found in Birmingham. The same can be said of a vice president. We next need board of guarantors composed of 50 men, who would guarantee 500 each or 100 men who would guarantee $50 this would give a guarantee fund of S5000. If the proceeds of the festival failed to meet expenditures the guarantors to meet de- felt on a percentage basis.
 We next need strong committee of business and musical men to place the society on a proper working basis and appoint It's officers, great care being taken in the appointing of that most important of all the offices, the sec retary, for upon him depends far more than is generally acknowledged. the suc-
 
 must have good understanding of busi- ness, he must initiate things and be an enthusiast, he will then command sue cess The secretary is the man who drives the engine, the treasurer supplies the fuel. Let us have two good men in these positions.
 A well qualified musical director should be engaged to train the various sections
