THINGS DRAMATIC.
“The Limited Mall" will bo the attrac
tion at O'Brien's opera house tomorrow
night. This Interesting play will be pre
sented by a strong company of actors
and actresses.
The following story Is told of Elmer E.
Vance, who, as everybody knows. Is an
expert telegrapher, and his charming
wife, Beatrice—author and manager and
the “bright, particular star"—of mat
sterling and realistic play.
The young couple were tne rricd at
Camden, N. J.. and lmmedia ely after
the ceremony took the "limited" for New
York, "where,” says a writer In the Cin
cinnati Enquirer. "I was engnies d in
my magazine and did not notice that a
bride and groom’hid entered the car,
but my attention was attracted to the
couple in rather an odd way—by tele
graphic signals.
"Two young men who sat opposite caeli
other across the aisle were milking re
marks about them by ticking with their
pocket knives on the metal arm of the
seat.
“ 'Sweet as a peach, isn't she?' ticked
off the young man whose scat was imme
diately behind the now arrivals.
“ 'You bet.' replied the other; ‘bridal
couple, evidently.'
“ 'Mow on earth do you suppose a
speetacled chump like that managed to
Catch such an angel?'
" ' Give It up; she couldn’t see anything
In him to admire.'
" ‘Her lips were just made for kisses.'
“ 'That's right, my boy'.’
*' 'Say!'
“ 'Well?'
“ 'When the train goes into the ic'xt
tunnel I’m going to reaeli over and kiss
her.'
41 'You wouldn’t dare!'
"'Yes. I would; she'd think 1 was her
husband, you know.'
"Their telegraphic conversation ceased
here, for the bridegroom had token out
his pocket-knife and commenced to tick
off this message) on the arm of the seat:
" 'When tlie train gets to the next tun
nel the spectacled chump proposes to
reach over and hammer your two heads*
together until your teeth drop out.
iSavey?’ . . ,
"Soon after that two passengers might
fcave been seen sneaking off lo the smok
ing ear. And they remained in the
smoker, not only while the train went
through the tunnel, hut until the con
ductor shouted, Jersey Gily; all out.' "
At O’Brien’s Opera house Tuesday
night.
Farce comedies are anti-tragedies. To
he suceessfifl. farces roust be composed
entirely of the very best quality of that
innterial that goes to make even the
darkest of clouds palatable to the minds
of philosophers. Farce comedies are the
silver linings of the theatrical horizon.
When the patron is surfeited with rheu
matic tragedy, loose-jointed melo-dramas
and creaky operas the relief romes with
the welcome change to the tuneful, witty,
bright, breezy and well-constructed farce
in which the follies and foibles of life are
held up, ns it were, before a concave mir
ror. "A Hun on the Hank,” underlined
for Thursday evening nest at O’Urlcn's
opera house, teems with specialties of n
superior nature. There is a dash and vim
and color in the action thnt causes the
N most blase to respond vigorously. A
most commendable fact is that there is
absolutely not a Jot or tittle of sugges
tlveness in the entire piece. The sing
ing department of the Ward and Vokes
company is far above the average of most
comedies, while that most essential fea
ture, the beauty part is made up of
shapely ladies, who can do something to
entertain, as well as look pretty. In the
supporting company arc two Birming
ham favorites. Prof. T. Wilmot Eckert
and wife. Their many friends here are
promised a treat in the lyric sketch, enti
tled “Master and Pupil,” as presented by
Mr. fuel Mrs. Eckert.
“Young Mrs. Winthrop.”
"Young Mrs. Winthrop” will be re
peated at matinee Tuesday afternoon. It
met with such a hearty reception last
Thursday night and was presented in
such a charming manner that there were
a great many requests for Its repetition.
The cast of characters will be the same
us at Thursday evening's performance.
"The public at large,” said Mr. J. M.
Handley, representing Louis James, who
will be seen here shortly, "has little or
no idea of the amount of labor, brain
work and stury necessary to the giving
of a series of productions like those of
Mr. Louis James. The day when an ac
tor could tour the country with a pair of
tights and a tawbuck as sole a<|uipment
has gone by, and now, besides u cur load
of scenery, several thousands of dollars
worth of costumes, armors, stage prop
erties, furniture and mechanical appli
ances, a company which includes in addi
tion to actors, stage carpenters, electri
cians. mechanicians. The work of pre
paring such a series of productions is
enormous, if done conscientiously and ar
tistically. Historical research Is the
foundation, so that costumes, armors,
heratjJic devices, banners and arms lie
not only attractive to the eye, but ns
nearly as possible historically (accurate.
Mine. Jatin. a-noted painter of historical
subjects, designed the costumes for the
Lou(s James company, while they were
executed by Maurice Herrmann of New
York. The armors were manufactured
to order in Paris and the arms and ac
coutrements came from London. The
scenery was all painted to order for Mr.
James. The scenes depicted are, as near
ly as possible, exact reproductions of the
scenes of the plays. The scenes in Ven
ice In "Othello" are from photographs
and water color sketches made on the
spot, while the scenes in ‘Typhus” are
from sketches by Charles Caryl Cole
man. one of America's most noted water
color painters. For “Virginitts” the
scenes in Home are from photographs of
localities and noted paintings. The fo
rum scenes are from the most reliable
documents describing this famous build
ing. supplemented by photographs of
the forum ns it stands at present, a
gloomy monument to the greatness of
the Roman empire. The arms, shields
costumes, etc., used in the production
of "Vlrginius” are from has reliefs exist
ing In the capital museum in Home.
Messrs. Wagenhals nnd Kemper, Mr
James' managers, have spared no money
in equipping tlielr star in a manner be
fitting bis commanding genius ns an ac
tor and have surrounded him with n
strong company, in addition to the most
elaborate scenic equipment ever given a
legitimate star.” Mr. James will be seen
here Friday and Saturday of Ibis week.

Port Worth, Tex,, Oet. 5.—If the pugil

bankers or managers and Dan Stuart
agree with the citizens of Aftlmofe and
the ija'nla F<f officials the contest will be
pulled off at the town of Ardmore, in the
Ch|ckasaw nation, Indian territory,
about 120 miles north of Fort Worth, on
the Santa Fe-railroait. The railway <'om

The building there was about half com
pleted, and all of the lumber was on the
grounds. Corbett, Brady and Joe Vendig
of the Florida Athletic club are to meet
Dan Stuart in Dallas Tuesday morning
or Monday night if it is possible. Jujian

are unforced.1 As good attorneys as he
deny ttrC soundTiesS of his position, but
granting ho is correct, this difficulty can
be overcome by the Chickasaw legisla
ture, now in session, formally granting,
as it has the povver, to the pugilists the
rights of citizenship. This would make
moth only amenable to the laws of the
Chickasaw' nation except for certain
grave crimes, of which the laws of the

Birmingham as file Place to Hold the Na

Athens, Oect. 5.—(Special Correspond
ence.)—The flrs.t Issue of the new paper
was received yesterday, and was just
what was expected—a first-class, ably
edited journal, and one that may come
to stay.
We see in the New York Voice, the
organ of the national prohibition party,
a correspondent from Alabama recom
mends the holding of the next national
convention of that party in Birming
ham. This wdfild be a big thing for ad
vertising your city, and doubtless the
business men will see and appreciate
the importance of using their influence
to encourage'die 'movc?ment. These con
ventions aie largely attended from all the
states, usually from 8(8) to 1000 delegates
composed of prominent citizens of all
trades—farmers, mechanics, miners, com
mercial, financial and other pursuits.
Many of them large capitalists, and out
side of any political significance, might
prove of wreat benefit to the material
prosperity of Birmingham.
