NV MYRTLE MILES

A birmingham man who has for many
years been interested in fashions for wom-
en-, buying many of the chapeaux and
robes for one of the exclusive shops sea-
son after season, was talking yesterday
of the rarity of imported models. Ac-
cording to him there are very few either
of hats or gowns in the new fall models.
The dealers are becoming more and more
convinced of the supremacy of domestic
modes. According to the views of many
who have seen the new models in Paris,
the designers there are producing some
wierdly eccentric results. Asked the
other day by clever woman in London
what he thought of the new French Gre
attons as displayed at Longchamps, an
Englishman replied: II think l should
have sufficient ground for a divorce II my
wife turned out like any of the modeis
shown They are the most ghastly looking
objects | have ever seen, and l should
imagine any woman who wore one of the
costumes would feel utterly foolish.
"The fashions are absolutely insane"
said an artist ''and it Is an insult to any
intelligent woman to ask her to wear
them The French idea seems to be a
striving after the most extreme note OF
eccentricity it is possible to reach. II
Paris keeps on turning out fashions ike
these it will soon lose its position as the
arbiter of the worlds dress

seems not the slightest artistic taste in
the designs and not one looks graceful
II hope Englishwomen will have more
sense than to adopt any of the fashions
said well known clubman
Gan Englishwoman's aim in dress Is TO
look graceful, and how anyone could look
graceful in one of those gowns passes
my comprehension"
A lady fashion designer declared that
she could not imagine any of the ex-
ampes shown becoming popular.
s.Weird extremes" she said, have never
been liked in England and the only ef-
feet of such styles is to shake woman's $
belief in Partisan ideas.
.'At one time it was the only correct
thing to be dressed "a la Paris But
these latest costumes will only disgust
the woman who wishes to be more in the
fashion.
"They are unsuited in every respect, and
are an elaboration of the grotesaue modes
of the last few years. But | think they
would be laughed at by everyone.
IF Paris persists in turning out fash-
ions like these it will be an insult to tell
a woman she is dressed in the French

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
1874-1901
No. 6O-Disturbance Within the Party
Edward A. ONeal, Governor

Governor ONeal received a full com
plmentary vote at the polls at the Au-
gust election. The aggregate was 49,
229 Mr.. Charles p. Lane, citizens OF
Huntsville, received 305 votes cast in
seven counties, all white counties. Es-
Gambia, in the extreme south, gave him
Y, while Jackson, in the extreme north
gave him 6S of the whole.
1t is interesting to know that there
was not a ballot cast in any of the black
belt counties against any one of the
candidates on the ticket nominated by
the state convention of the democratic
and conservative party. Nor was there
vote cast in the now cosmopolitan
county of Jefferson against any one of the
candidates on that ticket.
A few votes in few counties were cast
for half dozen different citizens for gov
ernor.
A few votes were cast for r. j. Lowe,
j. II. Woodal W. f. Skeggs and Curry
Graham for ttorney general against the
convention nominee Thomas N. McClel-
Ian. The governors secretary, Col Rob-
ert Mckee, received few votes for state
auditor against Burke.
The ticket elected beside Governor
ONeal was Ellis Phelan of Jefferson, sec
retary of state M. c. Burke of Marengo,
state AUDITOR Fred III. Smith of Dallas,
state treasurer; Thomas N. Mcclellan,
attorney general. Palmer, superintendent
of education was already in office under
a four year term by election.
The scattering vote indicated loosen
ing of party ties in the white counties.
The total absence of opposition to the
party in the black belt was ominous Of
the coming party distraction.

the September number or Bonziger's Mag
a zine as a serial, is a powerful story Of
the present day. The scenes are laid
partly in the United States in the north
of Spain. The intense interest of the
novel lies in the keeping of the secret of
crime known only TO priest, and he IS,
of course, bound to secrecy. In the part
of the story laid in Spain, Mrs. Ruffin
gives some beautiful descriptions of that
country and the sturdy Basaues. Some
splendid chapters deal with the Barcelona
riot and the outbreak is drawn with a
peer of descriptive language that rivals
Dante in picturing another inferno Since
The North Star and it's great success
in reviving the heroes of old there have
been many calls for Mrs. Ruffin to use
her wonderfully descriptive pen in a tale
of today and this she has done in The
Shield of Silence with its lurid back
ground of anarchy, murder and sacrilege
and the high lights of sacrifice and de-
votion to duty and religion.

HURT BUILDING
FREE FROM FIRE
THROUGH DOORS
Special Pyons Process in Opera
ton and Officials Feel Safe.
Asbestos For Safety,

A distinct feature Of the Hurt Build
ing will be its fireproof qualities, Fires
that may occur can be stopped in the
room where they originate. without
passing to adjoining compartments.
This has been accomplished in the
Installation Of freproof doors, which
are made up I'm a unique way. The
heart Of the door is of ordinary wood
and on this Is placed a strip Of thick
asbestos, and on top Of the asbestos
goes a strip Of wooden veneer. In
case of fire. the outer coating OF wood
burns and the fire stops AT the ashes
tos, literally burning itself out bus
with a minimum Of danger and loss
Experiments on this door have
demonstrated the usefulness Of the
device, and the Hurt Building officials
were satisfied with a test made be-
fore the contract for the doors was
3et- The secret Of success in the de-
vice lies largely in the fact that oXy-
gen is excluded.
The concern which owns the patent
rights on this process OF making
doors is the Pyrono Process Company
OF Columbus. Ohio. and the manufac-
turer is the Alfred Struck Company,
of Louisville, Ky.
The Pyrono Process Company's
doors are also airproof. but are made
in such a way as to allow the escape
of gasas which are dus to chemical
action in the ageing ~ wood. "The
basic principle Of flreprooting, say
the patentees, is isolation, division,
separation: the protection Of things
beyond the immediate fire zone, and
this principle finds It's best expression
in the Pyrono products"
other Pyrono products are parti-
lions. frames, elevators, ceilings, plain
and panel wainscots and stairways,
