BARRERE ENSEMBLE
 SCORES A TRIUMPH.
Music Study Club Has Brought No Finer Or
 ganization to City

Much was expected of the Barrere en- semble of wind instruments, and the large and discriminating audience that greeted the artists forming the organization at the Jefferson theatre last night was not disappointed. The Music Study club has presented many fine attractions during the last two or three years, but it is perhaps no exaggeration to say that it's achievement on this occasion was it's highestsin the list of concerts on mem bership tickets.
 It was a delightful entertainment, in- deed, for aside from the novelty of the combination and the quaintness of the 'literature'' written for wood-winds, every meas sure from first to last was rich in tone color and faultless in phrasing.
 Mozarts serenade in c minor, written for two oboes, two clarinets, two horns and two bassoons, which opened the pro gramme, was symphonic in treatment and had such sympathetic interpretation as to leave nothing to be desired. Full of grace and rhythmic beauty it transported the hearers in spirit back to powdered wigs and the elegant life of the Vienna court of the eighteenth century.
 Other pieces on the programme were ''musette'' by Perilhou, for two oboes and two bassoons, and 'conte" (fairy tale) for flute, one oboe and two clarinets by the same composer. Edward Mac Dowell's woodland Sketches" an aria by Aubert flute solos by Le Clair, played by Mr. Barrere; musette by Pfeiffer an "Aubade'' by de Wailly, and a Gallic suite for the full ensemble by Gouvy.
 Every member of the little band is a vituoso, but one of the distinct charms of their playing together is found in their perfect blending, so as to make one voice of varied colors and many hues"
 MT. Barrere had been heard in solos here on several occasions with the Dam- rosch orchestra, but he seemed to sur pass himself last night. He was generous in responding to encores and the enrap- tured music-lovers felt no doubt that at a quarter past ten o'clock the concert was ended all too soon.

Bessemer, January 3l-(Special.)- )-Nu- merous complaints have been heard to- day on the service of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company on the North and South Bessemer lines yes terday when a large number of people from Bessemer and this end of the county went to Birmingham to see Harry Gar diner, the human fly The traffic was very heavy and no special cars were put on to accommodate the crowd.
 The people of Bessemer pay more car fare than any other line of the company and while it is a few miles longer. than any other line, it is thought that better service should be given the people of Bessemer on this account.
 Only one more day is left in which to pay poll tax. After February 1 those who have not paid will not be allowed to vote this year and up to date the num- Der paying their poll tax has been light compared to the number of voters in this city.
 The jury in the case of w. F. Smalley vs. the First Baptist church (colored), which was tried in the Bessemer city court yesterday, were unable to agree after being out eight hours and mis- trial was entered. In the case of T. w. Bridges vs. W. T. Williams, ct als., a verdict was returned for the defendant.
 Funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Matilda Jane Huey were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Pleas ant Ridge church, the services being conducted by the Rev. A. c. Swindall In- terment followed at the Pleasant Ridge cemetery with Huey & Mcconnell in charge.
 The deceased was S3 years of age and was well known and highly esteemed in this district, where she has lived for many years. She is survived by three sons and two daughters.
 Miss Hyla Banfield, who has been head nurse at the Elizabeth Duncan hos pital for the past year, has resigned her position to take effect on February l. Miss Banfield came to Bessemer from Rochester, Minn., and during her stay here has made many friends who will re- gret to learn of her resignation. Miss Banfield's successor has not yet been selected.
 Mrs. D. J. DelJarnette was a delightful hostess this afternoon when she enter tained the members of Circle No. 1 of the Pastors Helpers of the First Meth l odist church at her home on Arlington avenue.

My Heart" the delightful comedy that is being presented at the Bijou this week, is due largely to it's wholesomeness and it's human interest. Not one who has had the pleasure of witnessing this per- formance will ever forget the charming character of Peg and her pal, "Micheal,' the dog.
 The added attraction, Harry Gardiner, the human fly,'' and his wonderful lec- ture film depicting him performing some of his most daring exploits fairly caught the crowd last night, and he was given warm reception as he stepped on the stage, for probably every one in the audi ence had witnessed his perilious climb of the Empire building on Tuesday. In a graphic manner he explained the vari- ous features of the film and explained his methods in climbing high buildings. He will appear again at the matinees and night performances today and tomorrow.

Boston Grand Opera

The two foremost American baritones, Thomas Chalmers and Graham Marr, of the Boston National Grand Opera~ com pany, are anything but rivals. On the contrary these two young artists are great friends, having met first when they were students in Italy.
 The American colony, so-called, in Milan, is one of the brightest spots in that city's social life. When Marr and Chalmers were there two eminent Wag- erian conductors were living at hotel where many Americans lived, and their eccentricities furnished much amusement One of these conductors, realizing that most of the Wagner operas are too long, would cut out parts of the operas when he conducted The other, however, was a great stickler for giving each opera in it's entirety, so when he conducted he would restore all of the parts cut out by his colleague. This cutting and re- storing caused many extra rehearsals, and the Americans nicknamed the two conductors-one Herr Cutter and the other Herr Restorer.

Ballet Russo

The Diaghileff Ballet ..usse, with it's new laurels and the addition of the great NiJinsky, will appear tonight at the Jef- ferson for one performance only. No ex- position of art or music or any amuse- ment attraction of the unusual form has attracted such widespread attention and become such vogue as has this remark able group of dancers, whose early train ing in the imperial schools of Russia has been shaped into more modern school by this Slavic sorcerer, who by associating men whose ideas were direct ly opposite to the old in their various forms of art, brought forth from his own crucible new and startling dance diver tisement.
 Its first appearance in Paris, when the gay French capital had not been men aced by war. proved veritable sensa- tlon It was then that the directors of the Metropolitan Opera company of New York arranged to bring the ballet intact to this country.

Taller Order

Jones had been member of the glo- riouS company of the workleSS for some time, so that when the offer of work as carter came Jones jumped at it.
 But even to be d carter requires cX perience. particularly in loading up, and when one has tWo-wheeled spring cart to load it is better not to put all the goods at the hack. This, however WAS what Jones did. with the consequence that when they were go ing up hill the horse, unable to stand the strain, stopped.
 It did not strike our friend that his method at loading was at fault. He tried vainly to induce his steed to pro ceed, and then. noticing that the ani- malls feet only just touched the ground, he turned and drove back at full speed to his guv-nor.
 Haven't you got a taller horse, guy nor?" he queried, artlessly. This one ain't high enough for the work. /"

GIRLS! MAKE A BEAUTY LOTION
 WITH LEMONS

At the cost of small jar of ordinary cold cream one can prepare full quar- ter pint of the most wonderful lemon skin softener and complexion beautitier by squeezing the juice of two fresh lemons into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white. Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on juice is used to bleach and remove such blenishes as freckles, .sallewness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smOothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly frag- rant lemon lotion and massage It daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whlten, soften, freshen and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is truly marvel ous to smoother rough, red hands. Adv.
