MAGICIAN MAKES
A ROSE BUSH GROW
VERMELTO, A JAPANESE WONDER,
DRAWS LARGE CROWDS ON
FIRST AVENUE ABOVE TWENTI
ETH ST., BV HIS MAGIC TRICKS.
Large crowds hang around First ave
nue, between Twentieth and Twenty-first
streets, all day to watch "Vermelto,” the
Japanese magican in a series of mystify
ing slight of hand tricks, and perform the
Hindoo feat of producing a rose bush in
full bloom In three minutes.
Ralls disappear from the hand of the
magician in the twinkling of an eye and
turn up in the most unlooked for places.
Pictures are transferred from a frame in
the magicians hand to another frame in
a distant corner.
The crowning performance is the Hindoo
feat. The magician takc‘8 a flower pot
nearly filled with earth and plants the
seed. After placing the pot on a table
he covers it with a conical shaped tube
which is hollow. Making a few passes
over the pot he uncovers it and on bring
ing It to the window where the crowd
can sec. a little bush has commenced to
grow. Once more he places the flower pot
on the table and again covers It. After
a few more passes he again exposes it to
view and it is seerTthat the bush is a lit
tle larger. Again the same process is
gone through and when for the third time
the flower pot is uncovered a beautiful
IhjsIi of roses Is exposed to view.
The magician clips the roses off with
a pair of scissors and they are given to
ladies. Yesterday afternoon about twelve
blossoms were cut off the bush.
Part of the performances tuke place In
the window of Ren M. Jacobs & Bros.’
furniture store on First avenue every
hour of the day, but the growing of
the rose bush is only performed twice a
day, at 4 o’clock in the afternon and 8
o’clock at night.

“The Land o’ Cotton.”
A southern play with a number of
good scenes and several novel effects,
some unique characters and good scenery
was presented at the Jefferson theatre
last night to a good audience.
The play was written by John C. Webb,
who evidently has made a study of the
south and is well able to handle the sub
ject ho attempts. There are several
typical southern scenes in "The Land O’
Cotton" which makes it popular in this
section.
Under Two Flags.
"Under Two Flags" will bo the attrac
tion at tlie Jefferson theatre tomorrow
and Thursday nights and Thanksgiving
day matinee. Of this production the
Philadelphia Item said:
"It has been said, and truly ^aid. that
had Ouida written naught but 'Under
Two Flags’ and portrayed no other char
acters than those of Bertie Cecil, the ex
patriated Englishman, and Cigarette, vi
va ndlere and little soldier of France, her
fame would yet have been Immortal.
"Within the limits of a live-act drama
it is. of course. Impossible to include all
of the beauties of the original story, one
which has stirred chivairic hearts for
many a long year past, but Paul M. Pot
ter has done wonderfully well within the
enforced limitations set him, and the.
result is a powerful play, which sets the
heart to dancing In unison with the wild,
untutored love of the brave Cigarette. A
truly lovable character is this vivandlere,
natural Bohemian and daughter of the
Chasseurs de Algeria, and the heart of
the spectator pulsates in unison with her
own. as through travail, danger and even
scorn she lives her life and her love and
eventually gives up the first for the last."
“Sweet Sixteen.”
‘‘Sweet Sixteen” is the unique title
givun the musical comedy which will be
presented at the Jefferson theatre by
toe Wills Musical Comedy company next
Friday. The chorus, in fifteen different
numbers, it is said, is but one of the
many features offered.
The scenery carried is all special and
from the “Hodgdon’’ studios in New
York city. The specialties, it is said,
are all new and novel.
“At Atlantic City” and “Two Old
Cronies’’ will be played by the same com
pany Saturday matinee and night. An
unusually cheap scale of prices will pre
vail.
At the Bijou.
The Bijou theatre was almost filled last
night to witness the first performance In
I this city of the pastoral play, “The Night
Before Christmas.” The play is w'ell sup
ported and far above the average plays
seen at the Bijou this season. The court
scene in the third act in which Judge Phil
lips is compelled to condemn to death his
innocent son in the presence of his mother
and sw'eetheart is specially well acted.
The character of Judge Phillips la par
ticularly well sustained by Jack Drupiler
while Amanda Hendrix, as Marlon Wil
liams, the heroine, and Helen Gourney as
Mrs. Phillips, the judge’s wife and tTfc*
mother of the hero, both rendered their
respective parts with unusual ability.
The three children, Ethel Clifton, Emily
Clifton and Charles Clifton captivated the
audience in the opening act when the San
ta Claus tableaux made a fitting climax.

In the meantime the management of
the Alabama team has been keeping very
quiet, and is evidently preparing to spring
a surprise. Coach Blount has been using
his foxy talents during the past few days
and has put the Alabamians in a position
to do some excellent defensive work. If
Alabama can wlthstay the onslaught of
their opponents they can come near beat
ing anybody. Their offensive play Is
superb and with a good defense there is
no reason to expect a defeat at the hands
of Tennessee. In a few days the foot
ball scribe at the University of Alabama
is expected to Inform the public as to
the actual strength of the team, whivh
Is expected to preserve the state's athle
tic honor at West End.
The local ipanagoment has made ex
cellent arrangements for handling the
crowds, and the field will be absolutely
protected from the crowd by strong wire
screens. Every spectator will have a
clear view of the field. |

AN APPEAL IS MADE
BY THE MERCY HOME
/
ANNUAL THANKSGIVING DAY DO
NATIONS ARE NEEDED AND THE
LADIES WANT LIBERAL RE
SPONSES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
The Mercy Home bo^rd of directors has
issued an appeal to the people of Bir
mingham asking them to remember that
organization on Thanksgiving day and
to make liberal donations. The appeal is
as follows:
To the Public:
In appealing again for a Thanksgiving
offering for the Mercy Home, we realize
that nothing new can be said. It must
be largely a repetition of former appeals.
Year after year the work goes on—the
same number of homeless little children,
or baby waifs, of the aged and friendless
and unfortunate to be cared for and
clothed and fed.
During the year you occasionally read
in the daily papers of a baby left on
some door step, or of a child taken from
vicious parents, or a girl from false
friends and “sent to the Mercy Home.”
Perhaps as you read you think it is a
good thing to have such an institution
In our city; but have you ever thought
of the practical side of the constant
tireless work that makes it possible?
Have you ever thought of the detail
wrork of the admission committee, of the
continual care of the house and clothing
committee, and the daily and almost hour
ly emergencies that demand special and
extra outlay of time and money?
Through the columns of the Age-Herald
you have recently heard of one depart
ment of trie home, under the care of its
valuable auxiliary, “The Creche," but the
Creche cannot provide for the children’s
board and one woman cannot possibly
care for twenty-five children. Then, add
to these twenty-five children of school
age. twenty little ones in the nursery
under 5 years of age. and you get some
idea of the average family.
It is only by the system of having the
older members of the household care for
the younger that the work Is maintained
so economically. The home has no regu
lar income save an appropriation of $50
a month from the city, and a small al
lowance per capita for the most destitute
cases from the county.
Our hospitals do not provide for mater
nity wards and places for chronic cases,
and these, too. are constantly coming to
us and must he cared for. We do not
give public entertainments. As quietly
and unostentatiously as possible the work
is carried on, trusting always to the kind
ly active sympathy of the Birmingham
public, for we believe that the warm
hearts of this community will always re
spond to our requests and contribute the
money necessary for the work.
The Mercy Home is yours for service,
and we ask you will remember us In your
thanksgiving this week, that the services
so freely given may he continued and
| commensurate with the needs.
Donations may be sent to the home,
corner of North Eleventh avenue and
Twenty-second street, or to the president,
Mrs. P. B. Spencer. 1621 Twelfth avenue,
south.
THE BOARD OF MANAGERS.
WOMEN AGAIN ASK
PUBLIC FOR HELP
UNITED CHARITIES WANT THE
I PEOPLE TO MAKE LIBERAL DO
NATIONS FOR THE THANKSGIV
ING BASKETS FOR THE POOR.
The call for donations to the United
Charities in order that the Thanksgiving
j baskets can be filled has not yet been
I answered as liberally as the women de
sire. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. R. G.
I>owi*. the president, stated that the do
nations were not as liberal as they have
been in past years, but that she expect
ed a good many merchants to respond
today and tomorrow.
The headquarters of the United Char
ities are on Third avenue and Twenty
second street, and some one is there near
ly all day to receive the donations. To
morrow the ladles will spend the day
packing the baskets and delivering them
to all who'call and ask for them.
In these baskets the object is to put
enough good food to make each family
have two or three good meals, and fre
quently there is a turkey. There are a
number of poor people in the city who
suffered last wreek from the cold on ac
count of the lack of coal and provisions,
and the ladies hope to aid them all Thurs
day.
MUST WORK OR STARVE.
Commissioner Advocates Stringent
Measures for the Indians.
Washington, November 23.—The annual
report of Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones advocates the education of the In
[ dian In the rudiments of the English lan
guage and that he be taught that he
must work or starve. The commissioner
thinks this policy in a generation or more
will regenerate the race and that the In
dian should be protected only to the ex
tent that he may gain confidence in him
self, leaving nature and civilized condi
tions to do the rest.
There were 257 Indian schools in oper
ation during the year, 91 being reserva
tion boarding schools, 26 non-reservation
and 140 day schools. The enrollment of
pupils was 241,357 and employes numbered
2282.
Mr. Jones strongly denounced the “sun”
and other “religious” dances of the In
dians. and says that reports of eye-wit
nesses of these performances show they
are revolting In the extreme. A total of
$757,173 has been paid to the Indians for
their inherited lands under the act of
May 27. 1902.
TRIED TO HURT WOMAN.
Negro Charged With Beating Woman
and Threatening Her Life.
John Saunders, a negro man. was ar
rested on Second avenue and Eighteenth
street last night and sent to jail on a
charge of assault and battery and carry

Policemen Richardson and Brown made
the arrest on the complaint of a negro
woman who said the man had knocked
her, beaten her and badly injured her.
The woman had her arm In a sling and
was very much terrified as she said the
negro w'as trying to get her in the dark
to kill her.
The man when arrested had a Colts re
volver in his hand and his pocket was
full of cartridges. He will appear before
Judge Feagln today.

1 1 X \
Foreign Minister Justifies Re
cognition of Republic
INTERFSTS WILL BE SAFE
France Had Only to Follow Example
Set By the United States—Cham
ber of Deputies Has In
* teresting Session.
Paris, November 23.—Foreign Minister
Delcasse addressed the chamber o£ depu
ties today In reply to qudhtlons regarding
foreign affairB. He opened with a state
ment in regard to the Panama question
and said:
"I am asked for information concern
ing the action of France. Here is what
has been done. Having received, informa
tion that Panama had constituted herself
an independent republic we had only to
consider that she had fulfilled the necessa
ry conditions for the maintenance of order
and what guarantees she offered. From
the Freribh point of view, we have not
been without apprehension for some time.
It has been said at Bogota for several
months that the decision of the Colombian
government prolonging the canal conces
sion to 1910 was open to dispute'and that
in 1904 the concession might have been de
clared to have lapsed. If this story had
ever been put forward officially we would
not have, accepted It. It was our strict
duty to demand from the republic of Pan
ama assurances -that all French interests
including the canal concession, be respect
ed. This assurance has been given in de
cisive form, the following being the text
ual form of the promise:
"The republic of Panama solemnly, ex
plicitly and definitely pledges itself to
vigilantly protect French Interests and to
maintain and interpret in their widest
sense the contracts made before Novem
ber 3, which referring to the Isthmus, fol
low the transmission of sovereignty and
bind the republic of Panama, All thq con
tracts are maintained, notably the con
tract prolonging the cession until '1910."
roilows u. b. Example.
M. Delcasse continued: “Under these
conditions we had only to follow' the ex
ample set by the United States and per
mit our agents to enter into relations
with all the agents of the new republic.'*
The declaration of the foreign minister
was received with applause.
M. Delcasse then described the condi
tions In Macedonia. He said the remedy
for the abuses complained of was to ac
cord Macedonia reforms which can be.
applied to the entire population, without
dinstinetion of race or religion, and to
extend to every individual protection and
the enjoyment of the fruits of his work.
The reforms must be controlled closely.
Europe, if necessary, would bring relief
and prevent new revolts. Russia and
Austria had been charged to enforce the
programme. In regard to Siam. M. Del
casse said the government was doing ev- j
erything possible to arrive at a pacific ;
understanding.
Referring to the Anglo-French arbitra
tion treaty, M. Delcasse attributed it to
the czar's peace pronouncement of five
years ago, praised the entente with Great
Britain and felicitated France on th*
reapproachment with Italy.
France Paramount in Morocco.
In Morocco, the foreign minister said
in conclusion, France was paramount.
Nevertheless, French interests demand
ed that the country be tranquil and in
dependent.
I At the close of the general debate on
the policy of the government Deputy Hub
bart brought in a motion requesting the
government to join with foreign powers
for the purpose of limiting the military
burdens of Europe. Foreign Minister Del
casse replied that it was not the business
of France to make proposals. The
French government. M. Delcasse said, had
already set the example, as its naval and
military budgets had been decreased year
by year, while the budgets of other pow
ers had been increased. If, said M. Del
casse. the example set by France were
j fruitless, mere words would be unheed
ed. and they would only compromise the
I dignity of the nation. It was not for
I France to take the initiative.'
i After a heated discussion In which M.
Jaurez, socialist, took a prominent part,
a resolution approving the foreign policy
of tho government was carried by an
enormous majority.

A FOREMAN KILLED
BY NEGRO LABORER
Was Trying to Prevent a Fight Be
tween Will Johnson and Another
Negro When Former Shot.
Will Johnson, a negro, shot and killed A
the general foreman for Mason & Hodgef, W
the contractors who are making the tun- ¥
nel on the Altoona extension of the Louis- 1
ville and Nashville railroad. The trouble |
occurred Saturday afternoon near Altoo
na.
The details of the tragedy are not yet
available, the correct name of the fore
man is not known, but it has been given
as Owens, and Connelly. From what
could be learned It appears that two ne
groes had a quarrel recently and came to
blows. The fight ended and peace was
restored, but on Saturday, which was
pay day. the trouble between the two |
negroes was resumed. The general fore
man attempted to prevent any further
trouble and was shot twice. He lived for
about an hour, and the negro made his
escape in the woods.
An effort was made to secure the sher
iff at Oneonta with his dogs, but It ap
pears that when the message reached One
onta the officials were having trouble
with some prisoners, who were endeavor
ing to escape.
The dead man was an experienced drill
er of tunnels and brought to Alabama
from Ohio. The tunnel Is nearly 3000 ^>et
long, and a large force of men are trying
to complete it by the end of- February.
