Thanksgiving Day was observed and
honored In Birmingham to an unusual
degree. The churches holding services
were well attended and tastefully dec
orated with ruddy autumn leaves, chry
santhemums and luscious fruits. The of
ferings of money and provisions by the
congregations were worthy of the warm
hearts that prompted the gifts. The
different charities of our city were made
richer by the generosity of citizens and
school children, and many a barren life
was made gladder because of this Chris
tian holiday. There were many family
reunions, many gatherings of familiar
friends, but no large social function. The
day was celebrated quietly and happily
In one way or another by the entire com
munity. Thanksgiving Day of-1895 has
been numbered among the countless days
that make up the records of time and it
has left us a happier and better people,
because of the sublime lessons it taught
and the divine mission it fulfilled.

The decorations at St. Mary's-on-the
Higldands yesterday were especially
beautiful. The handsome brass lectern
and the marble baptismal font were ar
tistically adorned with autumn lcavt s—
that held all the tints of a'southern sun
set—and rich dark chrysanthemums. The
credence table was decorated with au
tumn leaves also, and groat bunches of
purple grapes. The altar vases were
filled with chrysanthemums and the
ehotr stalls were decorated with the
same blossoms. The music was excel
lent and Rev. Mr. Fitzrdmons preached
an eloquent and appropriate sermon.
Mrs. Joseph R. Smith. Jr., will enter
tain a few friends today at 1:30 o'clock
at a luncheon In honor of Mrs. Joseph
Shields of Knoxville, Tenn.

Mr. George Walton Rebe of Augusta,
Ga., a bright and promising young news
paper man, has sent some valuable relics
to the exposition which belong to his
family. He is a grandson of the late
Madame Hebert, one of the most famous
■women of her day, and during the most
brilliant period of her career a resident
of Mobile. An exchange, in referring to
these mementoes of other days, writes
thus of this celebrated woman, who was
counted as an Alabamian, although she
was born in Georgia, and belonged to the
old and distinguished family of that
state, the Waltons:
"One of these relics is a miniature of
his great-great-grandfather, John Wal
ton, one of the signers of the declaration
of independence. The others are two
bracelets of massive gold, richly traced
and set with miniatures. One of hTs
grandmother, Mme. Levert, the fascinat
ing and famous southern beauty, and
the other of her daughter, Mr. Hebe’s
mother.
"The picture of Mme. Levert was taken
when she was a girl of 16, and shows a
fascinating though not particularly
beautiful face—full of delicate refine
ment and Intellect. She was one of the
great women of her day, and the remain
ing old beaux of that time will delight in
telling you of her social triumphs, her re
ception abroad, her honors from artists,
musicians and men of letters. She had
that great charm In women—a soft, well
• modulated voice. She was conversant
" with literature and art, a fine linguist, a
ready wit, a creature of complex and
brilliant moods. She went out and trav
eled over the world at a time when for
eign travel seemed a marvelous achieve
ment, and she returned to her home so
ciety to delight her friends with the won
derful stories of her experiences. Indeed,
among all the belles and beauties of her
time, this woman stands out as the most
Interesting and distinctive figure. She
was broad-minded, clever and original at
a time when such things were considered
most forward on the part of a gentle
lady. It was whispered behind the prim
turkey tail fans of southern ladles that
she even went so far as to entertain ac
tors and actresses In Paris, which asser
tion shocked the people so much thut
they went at once to hear about 11 all
when she returned.
"Mr. Rebe, it is raid, has much of his
grandmother's magnetism nnd clever
ness, and if he takes seriously to litera
ture fine things may be expected from
him.”

EARLY CARS VERY POPULAR.
The early morning cars that were re
cently put on by the Birmingham Rail
way and Electric company have been
found to be a great convenience by the
citizens of Avondale and the Highlands.
Especially during the travel to the At
lanta exposition have these early cars
been found to be a great boon. The sub
urbanites can catch the early trains with
out having to walk or pay hack hire.
These owl cars give evidence that Bir

THINGS DRAMATIC.
Next week "The Fatal Card,” one of
the greatest of the Frohman successes—
one of the most potable of the pretentious
productions of the season In New York
last year—will be seen at O’Brien’s.
"The Fatal Card” had Its first produc
tion in this country at Palmer’s theater .
last season. So great was the success of
the play that at the expiration of the
time allotted to it at Palmer's, it was
by special arrangement transferred to
the big stage of the Academy of Music,
where It continued to play to enormous
business through the wane of the season
and far into the heat of the summer
months. It will be given here in its en
tirety. Scenic embellishments and me
chanical effects, marvelous in their ac
complishments, are as much a feature
as the strength of the company of play
ers. The story of “The Fatal C'flrd"
opens in a mining camp at the foot of
the Roc-key mountains. Gerald Austen
rescues George Forrester from a vigi
lance committee. Forrester tears a card
in two and gives half to Austen as a
memento. Years later the men meet In
London, but do not recognize each other.
Forrester is called Marrable, and while
apparently respectable, is leader of a
band of bond thieves. Gerald is in love
with his daughter Margaret. Marrable's
confederate accidentally kills Gerald’s
father with a walking stick which Gerald
left in his father's office after a quarrel
with the old man. This causes the son
to be suspected, but Margaret overhears
a conversation between her father and
Dixon and tells Gerald, who conceals
himself in Marrable's laboratory, where
bond numbers are changed, and there he
hears the story, but is discovered, bound
|o the stair case and left to die by means,
of an Infernal machine with a time fuse.
Gerald asks Marrable to take a tribute
out of his pocket to give to Margaret, as
a keepsake, and in doing so. the half ofr
li card falls to the floor. Marrable recog
nizes it, explanations follow and th° vil
lain's life is sacrificed by an explosion of
the machine which he attempts to throw
out of the window. Messrs. Chambers
and Stephenson have given us a play
that Is filled with material that interests
an audience. The dramatic portions are
deftly sandwiched with the humorous,
and the sensational episodes awake in
terest. The comedy scenes are very
strong—that of the bathing scene and
the upsetting of the canoe being verv
ludicrous. The play possesses so much
that appeals to all classes of theater
patrons that it cannot fail to be popular.
They All Praise It.
Rev. C. S. Owens, pastor M. E. church,
Greenville, Ga., says: "I take very great
pleasure In recommending to the public
King’s Royal Germetuer. I have been
using it at times for three years for dys
pepsia and nervousness with the most
gratifying results. I think it is due this
wonderful medicine to say that I have
known a numtor of ministers and others
who have taken It, and so far as T now
remember they all speak of Us curative
and strengthening effects with unstinted
praise. No one who buys it and uses as
directed for the troubles for which it is
recommended will exchange it for any
other medicine.” New package, large
bottles, 108 doses, $1. For sale by drug
gists. _
WILL REST IN OAK HILL.

The Slayer of Foreman Maden Goes to Jail to
Await the Grand Jury.
James Brown, the negro who shot and
killed Foreman Maden at Henryellen last
Monday, wan given a preliminary hear
ing yesterday afternoon before Justice
C. J. Martin of this city. Thirteen wit
nesses for the state were examined, their
testimony being substantially the same
as the facts concerning the killing pre
viously reported In the State Herald.
The prisoner was returned to jail with
out bail to await the action of the grand
jury.
THE BUSINESS MAN’S LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.
Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.
When a five horse-power engine is made
to do ten horse power work something is
going to break. Very often the liard
worjted man coming from the field or the
office will "bolt "liis food in a few min
utes which will take hours to digest. Then
too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of*liails would be in a
fire under a boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and "ready
to break,” because they do not get the
nourishment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in the
treatment of the stomach and the whole
system brings to the busy man the full en
joyment of life and healthy digestion when
he takes Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets to
relieve a bilious stomach or after a too
hearty meal, and Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery to purify, enrich and
vitalize the blood. The “Pellets” are tiny
sugar-coated pills made of highly concen
trated vegetable ingredients which relieve
the stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be taken
for a short time to cure the biliousness,
constipation and slothfulness, or torpor, of
the liver; then the “ Medical Discovery ”
should be taken in teaspoonful doses to in
crease the blood and enrich it. It has a
peculiar effect upon the lining membranes
of the stomach and bowels, toning up aud
strengthening them for all time. The
whole system feels the effect of the pure
blood coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened, not
deadened, or put to sleep, as the so-called
celery compounds and nerve mixtures do
—but refreshed and fed on the food they
need for health. If you suffer from indi
gestion, dyspepsia, nervousness, and any
of the ills which come from impure blood
and disordered stomach, you can cure
yourself with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery which can be obtained at any
drug store in the country.

The Specialist who treats thousands of patients has more experience than the
physician who occasionally practices on dne.
The Indisputable fact that Dr. Holloway is the only physician in the South con
trolling sufficient practice in private troubles, such as Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Gleet.
Stricture. Bad Blood, Skin and Bladder Diseases. Ulcers, Womb Troubles, etc., to
devote his whole time to their cure is sufficient evidence of his great experience
and successful treatment.
Special attention Is given to the treatment of unfortunates suffering from
early Imprudence, errors of youth, loss of vitality, loss of manhood, sexual de
bility, or any of its maddening effects. —
