Metropolitan opera house on Monday afternoon, March 27, with the heart stir ring strains of Palestrinas Adoramus te, ical Art society" wrote an eye witness. "Wonderful orchestral music and the voices of singers were the only sounds heard at this first meeting of a great campaign of missionary eloquence. The rest was silence-but silence filled with form, color, motion and meaning. One by one, scenes of missionary activity un- folded before us. We saw the pilgrims of the night groping dumbly after light and healing, following the jubilee angels, heralds of dawn and hope. We witnessed an open air dispensary in China where woman doctor gave help to all who came. We were introduced to a Japanese kin dergarten of tiny tots in gay kimonos, who tumbled down, lost their little black wigs and their way on the great stage, to the Infinite delight of the audience. We were visitors in a rich Turk harem overlooking the Bosphorus, where every surrounding pleased the eye and there was nothing to feed the mind; in contrast we were transported to the opening ex-
 
 in Scutari, and saw Young Turkish women receiving diplomas from the hands of
 IT Issionary teacher. Last of all we wit messed two scenes from darkest Africa; one before the arrival of missionaries, one after the introduction of industrial train ing among the boys and girls. The par tiCipants ill these last realistic scenes were children from the Howard Colored Orphan asylum in Brooklyn
 tI fr1Ip a go r. vice was held, where Mrs. Knowles pre- sided and missionary representatives spoke. In the afternoon there was q meeting Of the pioneers. Mrs. Broadwell and Miss Doremus, president and secrc- tGry of the Woman's Union society, pre- siding. Tho speakers were some of the noble women who saw the carly stages of Christian missions in Persia, India and China half a century ago. In love and | sacrifice they laid the foundations for
 tile magnificent superstructure of modern days"

She has been in Birmingham very littlc tho past few seasons. as four years were passed at Sophie Ncwcoinb college in New or leans, the summer seasons being spent at her parents country home at Mentone. She has, however, scores of friends ill the younger set, as all of her childhood was spent here. The charm of her young girl hood has been enhanced by her college yecrs so that native cleverness and in- tellect are added to sweetness and a grae cious personality, making her very like her mother, who is one of the hrainiest women of the state.

 At Mrs. Cosbys lovely home the music will be given by Mrs. William Jackson Adams, soprano and Miss Evelyn Going, contralto, in a duet. and a solo by Miss Going, with Miss Lena North accom- panying.

DIsFIeuRED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert vas troubled
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night. his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit. and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene

Daredevil Spike," a Native of
South Africa, Raises the

FlREWATER HIS FINISH
Monkey Takes Liking to Liquor and
Gives Good Imitation Of a Pitts
burg Millionaire on an 30 Be
Joyful"

New York.-John Hampton, a pros
porous auto dealer, recently returned
from South Africa, bringing a large
ape. which he christened Daredevil
Spike" He and Spike found accom-
modations at Ike Hirschorn's hotel
here, and one day Hampton let Spike
set 'em up" for everyone in the ho-
tel bar. This gave Spike his first
drink, and gave him the desire for it.
NOBODY minded much, however, until
the monkey drifted downstairs from
It's masters room shortly before dawn
and gave a good imitation of a Pitts
burgh millionaire on a spree.
One morning recently before the bar
room was opened for the day the ape
appeared to have a thirst of the sort
which only seasoned drinkers are sup
posed to possess. Spike sneaked out
OF Hampton's room, slid down the BAN
lister and deftly entered the bar room
through an open transom. When Gail
Hassen1eck, Hirschorn's lunch-counter
man, appeared on the scene shortly
after $500 a. m. he found Spike in the
state of exhilaration peculiar to some
college students after winning a foot
ball game. ..
Spike greeted Hassenfeck with
shrill cry of welcome, followed by a
heavy tumbler. which missed the
mans right ear only because Hassen-
heck had learned to dodge in his
youth. Jimmy Samponi, a porter.
went to the lunch mans rescue,
with the result that the two men
passed an unenviable time hiding be-
hind the lunch counter in a storm of
falling stems, bottles, plates, knives,
forks, and other objects. Several of
Spikes outshoots, Hassenfeck said
afterward, would win for him a place

claimed. "Come on! I'll buy you a
regular drink"
The monkey instantly let plate
fall and leaped joyfully toward its
master, who seized him tightly and
transported him to his room to sleep
off the effects of the spree. Hirschorn
then took an inventory of his loss,
which he conservatively estimated at
more than $50" Hampton said If he
couldn't make Spike pay he'd pay him
self.
