of genuine inspiration to. all musical peo- pie with whom they have come in con- tact"
 "One of the kindest things that MT. and Mrs. Gussen have ever done," continued Mrs. Bowman, lis the generous spirit they have manifested toward other musicians in the use of their expensive library. It has ever been at the disposal of anyone seeking musical knowledge. 1 doubt if there is musician in town who has not at one time or another had occasion to use their books or their music-and 1t was indeed surprising to find how much music and what variety of music they had. Mrs. Gussen had a fine library be- fore she and MT. Gussen were married; his library was as good If not better than hers, and MT. Guckenberger had left some of his music to be combined with theirs, making in all the most compre- hensive musical library one might almost say in the entire South. This was totally destroyed in the fire that robbed them also of their grand pianos and two yiolins. one of them valued at $500. It is to help them make a start toward building an- other such library and obtaining other in- struments so necessary for their life work that this Concert was arranged We real ize that there are many, many things that can never be replaced, but there are others that can, and these we hope to help replace
 You have shown a great deal of taste and judgment in making up your pro- gramme for the occasion," I observed.
 Programme making" said Mrs. Dow man quickly, lis an art. In it lies the real foundation Of success. In this respect we have been very fortunate in securing the services of the well known artist, MT Emile Levy, who very kindly asked to be allowed 10 arrange it for this evening. MT. Levy was formerly coach at the l Metropolitan opera in New York, and is an accompanist of surpassing excellence. 1 He has accompanied at various times nearly all of the grand opera stars, and | he is familiar with every phase Of the opera and music generally. Mrs Richard r. Johnston and Mrs. Victor Hanson have shown such a cordial spirit in the matter of making the Concert for MT. and Mrs. Gussen a success. Whatever they do they do it we'll as all Birmingham knows, and they have worked faithfully in this matter. Another thing, Mr. Frederick Gunster came forward so kindly and of fered his services to us for the Concert. MT. Gunster has appeared only once since his residence in Birmingham, and that was at a complimentary musical given him by Capt. and Mrs. ". II. Graves, and so we appreciated his kindness very much. None knows better than he that peculiar bond of sympathy among musl- clans as he has lived abroad and af- filated with musical people so much, be- sides his long residence In New York, where musical people form a little world all of their own"
 Everybody" said Mrs. Bowman in con- clusion, has been so kind and so willing to help us, none more so than MT K. s. Douglass, the Manager of the Jefferson. Big hearted and generous to degree. he has shown his appreciation of MT. and Mrs. Gussen in a most substantial man. ner, which we appreciate more than we can possibly say"

HotU to Make Better Cough Jyrup Mon You Can Bay A Family Supply, Saving $2 and Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much as you could buy for $2.50-can easily be made at home. You will find nothing that takes hold of an obstinate cough more quickly, usually ending it inside of 24 hours. Excellent, too. for croup, whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma, hoarseness and other throat troubles.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with 1a pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2h ounces of Pinex fifty cents worth) in 0 pint bottle, then add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours.
 This is just laxative enough to help cure a cough. Also stimulates the appe- tite, which is usually upset by cough. The taste is pleasant.
 The effect of pine and sugar syrup on the inflamed membranes is well known. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and all the natural healing pine clements. Other prepara- tions will not work in this formula.
 The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is now used by thousands of housewives throughout the United States and Can ada. The plan has been initiated, but the old successful formula has never been equaled.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you. If not, send to The Pinex O., It. Wayne, Ind.

Jackson, Miss, January 29.-(Special.)- Since the retirement of Governor Noel from the head of affairs or state, and his return to his homo at Lexington, there has been a revival here of the rumor that he is after a federal judgeship, and that in the event Congress should pass the bill creating the second federal judgeship in Mississippi, Governor Noel would stand a mighty good chance of landing the prize.
 Mississippi is divided into two federal districts with one judge. In the northern district court is held at Oxford and at Aberdeen; in the Southern district at Jackson, Vieksburg, Meridian and Biloxi. It is claimed that the business of these six courts is more than one man can well attend to, and there is a strong senti- ment In favor of disconnectng Judge Niles from the Southern district courts.

The American public has been interest cd recently in Cardinal Farley. An ex- change tells of an interesting dinner at which he was the guest of honor recently in New York. Louise Homer, who is so much admired in Birmingham musical set was one of the singers. Also Ric- cardo Martin, whom SD many Birmingham people hal the pleasure of hearing dur ing the grand opera in Atlanta last year and who, Iy the way, will appear there again this season. A description of the dinner follows:
 "Papal titles, during the fortnight, seemed to have more than their usual value, So without exception guests re. ferred to Miss Leary as the Countess Leary during the dinner and reception given at her residence on Tuesday night. January 2S. That Cardinal Farley was the guest of honor was indicated in sey- efal appropriate ways. His kindly eoun- tenace, for example, looked out from portrait printed on the menu cards. For lis eminence, incidentally, there was special compliment in a card that was framed in pure white kid. The papal col OtS Ntlt shONit Ill tilS gOlAoW iAbbpAiS tiioA tied the bouquets The wonderful table cover made of rare lace that the countess uses on state occasions was used This had a cectain significance, for 1t was token of what Catholic philanthropists are doing by means of the lace making industry to uplift the poor both in Ireland and in Italy.

 IL is claimed here that Senator John Sharp Williams is opposed to the office at this time-that is. that he would await the election of a democratic President, so that a republican would not have the privilege of appointing the new judge.
 In the event MT. Taft has the appoint- ment of the new judge he will name a Mississippi democrat, and Mississippi is not particular as to which of the gentle men named knocks the plum.

If there is one feature that distinguishes the musical world of Birmingham more than another it Is the fine spirit of Cam aradere that exists among its members.
 Unlike many other places of similar tastes and proclivities, where disslmula- tion and jealousy and wrangling are con stantly dragging down the high ideals of musical people, Birmingham has that progressive spirit which for the want Of a better term we call team york;" and consequently no Southern City today has made such rapid strides, musically, as this one. whose aim and object is to boost" instead of to pull down."
 MT. and Mrs. William Gussen, who have made for themselves a most enviable po- sition in Birmingham, both socially and musically, have been the victims recently of a serious disaster. when they lost prac- tically everything in their Studio in the recent fire, not the least of which was their handsome library.
 Following the unfortunate conflagration, MT. and Mrs. Gussen's colleagues and friends got together and decided 10 com- pliment them with a Concert this even ing, and the response from every quar- ter was so immediate and the enthusiasm so genuine and heartfelt, that before they knew it a programme was offered which would have been as long as the chain of friends that MT. and Mrs. Gussen pos sess had it been used, which only goes to show the high esteem in which this pop- ular couple is held.
 Something of the plans of the Concert this evening were made known yester- daw when Mrs. Charles l.. Bowman, the chairman of the committee on arrange ments chatted with me about it.
 The choice of Mrs bowman for this po- sition was admirable. Although she is in measure a newcomer among us, by her splendid musical ability, her unfalterlng interest in everything pertaining to music, her charm of manner and broad educa- tion, all of which Birmingham was quick to recognize, she has become one of the most popular women who has ever lived here, and her musical talent IS always in demand, to which she responds most gracefully.
 'It has been great pleasure" said Mrs. bowman, "to serve as chairman of the committee for the Concert in compll- ment to MT. and Mrs. Gussen. Of course, you know the idea of a Testimonial Con cert for them originated with Mrs. solon Jacobs and Mrs. John D. Turner both of whom are warm personal friends of the Gussens. They talked the matter over with me and we agreed that it would prove the very best medium for the friends and admirers of the Gussens to show their sympathy and appreciation.
 MT and Mrs Gussen have always stood for the highest and best in Music. Both of them well equipped in their profession, sound in their musical judgments, pos sessed of musical taste to an amazing degree they have always been a source
