OVATION FOR IS. Large Audience Hears First Symphony Concert MISS MILLER IS GREAT Mr*. Aldrich Played With I'ncommon Brilliance and Rare Technical Skill—Recalled Many Times The symphony concert at the Jefferson theatre last night the first oPthreo which the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra is giv ing—attracted a large, fashionable anil appreciative audience. It was the first appearance here of the Cincinnati organ ization but its reputation had made the name familiar to the Birmingham public and music lovers here we*e eager to hear it. Miss Christine Miller, cont.alto, and Mrs. Truman Aldrich, piano, were the soloists and as this is the former home of the latter she was accorded an ova tion. Tt was a very delightful entertainment and all the numbers were fully enjoyed. There were two changes on the pro gramme as originally printed. Weber's overture, “Euryanthe,’’ was substituted for Nicolai's overture, "Merry Wives <»f Windsor,’* and the "Tantihuuser" over ture was substituted for the "Tannlmu *er" march. These were the other num bers: Aria, "Amour! Viens Aider" from "Samson et Delilah" (Salnt-Saensi. Chris tine Miller: symphony in B minor, unfin ished.

She lias tine dramatic style an I beautiful stage presence, and she is an artist through and through. It was gen erally remarked that the management was fortunate indeed in securing so great an artist. For an encore Miss Millei sang “In the Time of Roses." Mrs. Aldrich's appearance upon the stage was the signal for spontaneous ap plause. Never did this popular lady look GEO. STOVALL IS RELIEVED OF HIS MANAGERIAL ROBES AN D S USPENDED AS PLAYER Chicago. May f -George Stovall, de posed as manager of the St. Louis Amer ican league team and indefinitely sus pended as a player by B. B. Johnson, president of the league as a Jesuit of Stovall's attack on I’m pi re Ferguson Sat urday. may get permission to play again this season and also may he reinstated in his managerial berth, according to Mr. Johnson tonight. "The case is not closed.” said Mr. John son tonight. "Stovall is relieved as man ager indefinitely and is suspended indefi nitely from playing. He may he allowed to play again and it is possible that he may manage the team again, blit the two are separate propositions. If he is allowed to play it does not follow that he will be permitted to manage th* team." The deposition of a manager by t*lie. president of the league is said to he the first action of the kind ever taken in a major league. "[ cannot recall any precedent for this step," said Johnson. "1 did tills myself, i according to the powers given me by the league constitution. What further action may be taken in the case will wait until i have tiad time to think it over at more length." There is not loom in the American league for players who commit offenses against public decency,*’ he declared. “I am astonished that any manager should create such a scene by losing his self control in the presence of a large assem blage of patrons of tlie game. The Amer ican league will not countenance such conduct for a minute.” .Stovall was ordered out by Ferguson in the sixth Inning of the game at 8t. Lords Saturday with the Cleveland team, in a rage. Stovall pulled Ferguson’s cay from his head and spat on the umpire's coal, according to the reports received here. Johnson suspended Stovall by telegraph on receipt of Ferguson's report. The league president has demanded complete details of everything In connection with ; the occurrence. Robert Wallace, former leader of the St. Louis, probably will manage the club for the present, it is i said. more charming or seat herself at the piano with more natural grace of man ner. It had been two years since she played here. In the meantime she had won great honors in the north and the audience was full of keen expectancy. Her friends who had heard her in recitals and In two of the music festivals thought she played with uncommon brilliance, but she lias broadened wonderfully and Iasi night she so far surpassed all her for mer efforts as to place her in a class with the world’s famous virtuosos. The Grieg concerto is a singularly grate ful work for the pianist. It is full of melodic beauty and Sweeping climaxes. Rare technical skill, spiritual insight and dramatic fire are demanded. Mrs. Ald rieh read into it all that the composer might have had in mind. There was poesy, depth of feeling and repose. Noth ing could have been more pearly than her pearly runs; nothing more compelling than her brilliant and emotional pas sages. There was no flagging and every phrase was marked by perfect clarity. The audience listened with intense in terest throughout Mrs. Aldrich's perform ance and it seemed in truth spellbound as she played with wondrous artistry the long cadenza near the close of the first movement. Mrs. Aldrich used a splendid Steinway piano and it is worthy of note that its pitcli and t lie pitvh of the or chestra were in accord. It Is sometimes tlie other way. Whgn Mrs. Aldrich finished the first movement the audience burst into ap plause and when she had ended her —:—■—■——....____ wKmmmmmmmmamsvmar Nerve Energy and Health This is the First of a Series of Articles Written by Dr. W. K. Dean to Appear in This Paper. Currents of electricity flow through your nerves. These currents are the life of your body and so long as they remain per fect you will live and remain well. When they become imperfect, how ever, your health will become im paired ami when tills imperfection reaches a certain degree you will flic. Your nerves are like threads, itrands or cords. They are com posed of two parts, the outside or -heath—a tough, elastic substance— and the inside or axis-cylinder—a soft jelly-like substance. The brain generates llie electric ity which runs your body and is con ducted from the brain to the various organs, glands, muscles and parts by this jelly-like axis-cylinder on the inside of your nerves. Each nerve under normal condi tions. whether it be a thread, strand or cord, conducts and transmits one hundred units of electricity power from the brain to the parts to which the nerve goes. While the amount of electricity represented by a unit varies with the size of nerves, still each nerve, when in perfect condition, transmits one hundred units of power—that is. one hundred per cent of power. All of anything is one hundred per cent of it.' Therefore, all the electricity which any nerve can transmit, whether it he a nerve thread no larger than a hair, or a nerve cord as large as a lead pencil, is one hundred per cent. The one hundred units, or me one hundred per cent, simply means nor mal QUANTITY for any given nerve. In dealing with this new science of Chiropractic there is one word of vast importance and that is the. word QUANTITY. If the normal condition of the soft Jelly-like substance on the inside of a nerve—the axis-cylinder—is dis turbed. that nerve becomes at once unable to transmit its normal QUAN TITY of electric power. For instance, if the nerves running from the brain to the heart be cut In two, the heart stops at once and death follows. But if these same nerves be grasped between tin* blades of a pair of steel pincers and SQUEEZED with sufficient tight ness to disturb the condition of the axis-cylinder, the heart begins to show signs of distress, the pulse becomes weak, ami in time, if the pincers be not removed, the heart stops and death follows just as if the nerves had been severed. SQUEEZING the axis-cylinder of a nerve obstructs or cuts off alto gether the electric current flowing through it and weakness or death of the part to which that nerve goes follows. (.’ut the nerves running from the brain to the muscles of the leg and I the leg becomes paralyzed. Squeeze these nerves as before described and paralysis also follows. Cut the nerves running from the brain to the kidneys and these - guns at once cease to perforin their ■ function. Squeezing the same nerves j is followed by the same result. The electric power which runs the 1 body is generated in tin* brain and J flows out to all the various organs j and parts through the axis-cylinder | Of nerves. In order that any organ or part may receive Us normal QUANTITY ; of electric power, the axis-cylinder of the nerves connecting it with tin* brain must be free from PBESSUUE. While severed nerves are ex tremely' rare, occurring only in case of severe injury, squeezed nerves art* of the most common occurrence, causing more sickness ami death than all other physical causes com bined. The squeezing of the nerves which is of such common occurrence and followed by such disastrous conse quences. is usually found at the Joints of the spine. These joints, twenty-four in num ber, are SWITCHES through which the nerves pass from the brain to the heart ami other vital organs and parts of tin body. So long as these switches remain fully open the nerves pass through them unhamp ered. But any tightening, turning, closing, or other imperfection of a Joint will result In catching the nerve where it pusses between these bones, and squeezing it. The effect Is just the same, owing t«» the haul substance of bom*, as if the nerve* were squeezed by a pair of pincers. These joints <*f Un* spine hi* the most peculiar joints in all the world .—peculiar because a thick, spongy cushion enters into the construc tion of each *»f them. Those cushions resemble spongy, porus rubber. They an* normally about one-fourth of an Inch thick ind make up about one-iwelfth of the height. If you are five f**et, i lix inches tall ami in perfect condi tion about five ami one-half inches j yoiir height i* due to these j twenty-four CUSHIONS placed be- i tween the bones on your spine. These cushions when in perfect vendition perform two important of 3e«»; & The* make llie varied and complex motions of the spine. 2. They prevent the nerves from being squeezed at the spinal joints, by holding the bones of the spine apart. It is to these cushions you owe your grace of body, your power to bend, to turn, and to twist your neck atid back. Were it not for these cushions your spine would be stiff and practically immovable. Again, you owe not only your grace of motion, but also your health and even your life to these . cushions. They stand at tin* gate wav of life, so ti* speak, and de termine by their CONDITION whether these gateways shall be open or closed. They determine by their CONDITION the set of the electric SWITCHES. They deter mine by their CONDITION whether these SWITCHES shall be open, al lowing the electric current to flow freely through them, or whether they shall be partially or fully closed. * OBSTRUCTING or cutting off entirely this current that is life. Each joint of the spine a CUSH ION-.JOIXT and a CUSHION SWITCH combined, in which the perfect condition of both depends upon the perfection of the cushion. Through a certain number of these cushion-switches of the spine nerves pass on their way from brain to heart. If one or more of these cushions becomes compressed the switch gradually closes, and gradu ally cuts off the electric power flow - ing from the brain through the nerves to the heart. When this ‘‘cut off’ reaches a certain stage the heart stops and death follows, du»* entirely to the squeezing of one or more nerves between the bones of the spine as if It were done by a pair of pincers, as before described. The principles here described ap ply not only to the heart, hut to all the internal organs. Through other cushion-switches of the spine nerves i pass on their way from the brain io the bronchial tubes and lungs. Pinching or squeezing any of these nerves means first. weak lungs, then diseased ones—the CONDITION which precedes and makes possible bronchitis, pneumonia, consump tion. etc. Through other of these cushion switches nerves pass on their way from the brain to the sumach, liver, bowels, etc. Pinching or squeezing any of these nerves means first, in digestion. inactive liver, constipa tion, etc., and then ulceration of these organs, preparing the way for typhoid fever and many other fatal diseases to which the digestive ur gans are subject. Through other of these cusliion switches nerves pass on their way from the brain to the kidneys. blad- \ der and sexual organs. Pinching or squeezing any of these nerves means first, weak kidneys, weak bladder, weak sexual organs, etc., preparing ! the way for the long list of diseases which attack these parts of the body. Through still other of these CUSHION-SWITCHES the nerves pass on their way from the brain to the‘eyes, the ears, the arms, legs, tie. Squeezing means weakness, then disease of these parts. So it is throughout the body. To prevent squeezing the nerves as they pass through the joints of the spine, these joints must be per fect. The cushions which hold the hones apart must be normal In thickness, and all the spinal bones themselves in their tine position. In a w%prd, the spine must be per fect. Moreover, all other parts of the body must be In their true position. Because, while pressure on the nerves most generally occurs In the spinal joints, it can and often does recur elsewhere along the course of the nerves. Rigid muscles or liga ments. ribs and other bones drawn slightly out of perfect alignment, as wc ll as an imperfect spinal joint, may obstruct the current flowing ill rough a nerve. The great problem, therefore, of curing disease is a problem of trac ing the nerves from whence they start in the brain to where they end in the various organs and parts of the body, and seeing to it that they are free from pressure throughout their course—capable of transmit ting their normal (QUANTITY — full one hundred units—of electric power NOTI-Ji It kImmiIiI 1m* understood thnl llit* lii'iiin mii*>t generate nil the elect rJcit> which I lie ImmI> iincm.
