NflBERS.
THE BREEZE CONTINUES
And From the Indications a Lively Tilt Is Possi
ble Between the City Council and Po
lice Commissioners.
Now tiere is a pretty pot to boil. It
seems from present imiications that there
will be a lively tilt between the eity coun
cil and the police commission.
Members of the council say that the po
lice commission is trying “to run" the
city. A representative of the commis
sion says that that body will govern it
self and perform its legal functions irre
spective of the board of mayor and al
dermen, in the event that the “city dads"
offer opposition to the commission's func
tions and conceived duties.
The present difference between the. two
municipal bodies grew out of a requisi
tion, it is reported, from the commission
to the board of aldermen requesting 150
printed copies of the police regulations.
Chairman J. P. Mudd of tlie police com
mission, through whom the requisition
was directed to the board, noted the fact
in yesterday's State Herald that the tom
mission's requisition had been referred
to the police committee of the board. In
other words, no immediate action had
been taken on it.. Chairman Mudd at
once directed a note of inquiry to Mayor
VanHoose, which it Is believed was not
answered. Mr. Mudd declined to be in
terviewed on the subject, but it is said
that unless the board allows an expendi
ture for the printed regulations steps will
be taken to mandamus the board.
The costs, it is also said, acc ruing from
mandamus proceedings must fail on the
board of aldermen personally and not on
the city treasury in the event that the
mandamus is not successfully resisted.
None of the aldermen or tlv commis
sioners cared to be Interviewed on the
subject yesterday. Mayor VanHoose said
last night that he received Commissioner
Mudd’s note too late to answer it yester
day. In regard to the supposed strained
relations between the board and the com
missioners he said he thought there
would be no trouble; that he had abiding
faith In the sound business sense anti
discretion of the council and commission
ojid that he thought the whole matter
would be adjusted today. At any rate the
affair will come to a focus within the next
few hours.

" THINGS DRAMATIC.
A small, though seemingly well pleased
house witnessed the production of "The
White Squadron” at O'Brien’s last night.
The play ts built on patriotic lines and
deals with army and naval life with Just
enough romance to smooth the rough
edges. The assembling of the navies of
the principal nations at Rio de Janeiro a
few years ago is a feature of the play,
out of which is woven an interesting
story. Bandits terrorize the country and
jeopardize the interests of other coun
tries and it is for the suppression of these
that the naval fleets are sent to Rio.
The scenery used was designed especial
ly for this play and is quite handsome
and elaborate. The assembling of the
squadrons, as seen in the third act, was
splendid.
The cast was selected with an eye to
the fitness for the different parts and re
flected credit on the management.
Sousa’s Band.
Sousa’s band will be at O'Brien’s to
night and at matinee this afternoon.
The programme as published in Wednes
day’s State Herald Is elaborate. A rep
resentative of Sousa speaking to a State
Herald reporter said of this band:
"You are going to hear the
finest band concerts ever listened
to in America, not excepting those here
tofore given by Sousa himself. Bear in
mind that his band Is on the road, giving
concerts, ten months In the year; that
he gave (including matinees), over 500
concerts last year, and will do the same
this year without the break of a day, and
that in consequence of this constant
practice and playing his men have ar
rived at absolute perfection in precision.

execution and contrasting' effects of light
ti nil shade. Besides, the hand Is composed
of meh, each of whom iH a consummate
artist, and each so thoroughly imbued
with the spirit of his leader that the
ensemble is, so to speak, an instrument
played upon by all the varying moods
of its great conductor, as responsively as
a. piano by a Paderewski pr a I,lszt. The
band has now fully achieved the end
sought by Mr. Sousa and his manager
in its organization. It is the equal of
the band of the Garde Republtcaine of
Paris, having the additional advantage
of a le/tder who appreciates fully the
tastes and wishes of the people, and res
pects them. Every variety of music is
represented on his programmes and in
his encores, and no ma.n, whether an edu
cated musician, or a representative of
the outlying country districts, can go
away from one of Sousa's concerts with
out feeling satisfied and happy. He has
heard what he liked. If his ear was at
tuned to Wagner, Wagner he had. If he
delighted in a plantation dance, or a
popular air like ‘Sweet Marie/ in the
course of the evening it came. If his
sense of rhythm and his fondness for the
rollicking heel-and-toe characteristics of
the southern negro craved satisfaction,
he had It. And f if he wished,
through the soul-inspiring marches of
Sousa, to be remindwl of martial glory,
and he carried back to the days when he
fought for his country, his longing was
also realized. In these characteristics of
h. great leader and a great musician, you
have the secret of Sousa's unparalleled
success. And when you again hear
Sousa's band, you, will agree with me
that I have stated the dear, cold facts,
and under, rather than over-estimated,
the characteristics of it matchless con
ductor.”
“The Lost Paradise.”
It may be said, and without presump
tion, in behalf of our play-goers that Wil
liam Morris Is welcome to Birmingham,
and although this is his first appearance
as a star his splendid reputation has pre
ceded him, and it Is fully expected that
a large uudlenco will welcome him at
O'Brien's opera house on Monday night,
November 11.
Mr. Morris will be seen in his original
character of Reuben Warner, in "The
Lost Paradise,” a part he has played
over 1000 times. A brief outline of the
story is as follows:
Reuben Warner, a man of the people,
has risen to the position of Iron works su
perintendent. In rather an angelic man
ner this youth has Invented a dynamo,
which his benefactor and master appro
priates, only to be robbed of It at hts sud
den death by Andrew Knowlton, who
succeeds him as master of the iron works.
A diary left by the great man enlighten^
Wnrner’s mind as to the real owner of
all the Knowlton works just at a time
when he is scorned by the beautiful
daughter of Andrew Knowlton. One tell
tale leaf in the diary of Stanish plays a
pretty and dramatic? part all through the
piece. Even after the recorded suspicion
is burned ashes rise to cloud the plot and
clear away only in the last scene. There
is n bubble of bright cbmedy all through'
the sombre scenes, and the brief, compact
dialogue drives along with a speed that
never allows Interest to droop.
The two scones used are veritable tri
umphs, one of the draper's and decora
tor's art. the other of the stage machine.
The first and last acts take place in an
exquisite reception room at Knowlton’s
home. Elegance, luxury and taste appear
reflected everywhere, from the mantel,
loaded with choice bric-a-brac, to the
leading lady's lovely dresses. The super
intendent’s room at the works, with the
steady music of buzzing wheels and
steaming whistles through the walls,
seem very like the real toiling mill. A
door and long gallery shows the mighty
wheels In ponderous labor—not one, but
many, all sizes and in every mood of ad
justment and motion. The strike, the
lull of the busy machinery, thp hush and
the brooding murmurs of a threatening
mob of workmen make a stirring climax
to a magnificent act.
Trilby Up to Date.
"Say, Mickey, wot’s Trilby?"
"Hully gee! Trilby ain't nawthin’.
Trilby's a rlame. Why don’t yer read,
Jimmy ?”
“Wei, den, who's Trilby?"
“Oh, youse fellers make me tired.
Youse don’t know nawthin'. I read de
book at de doctor's. Trilby wuz a dame
wot wuz bro’t up In de Fourt’ ward in
Paris. Her old man wiiz a preacher, but
got ter hittln’ de bottle too lively and her
old lady slung gin in a joint. Dey got
stuck on each otherjind hitched up, but
de booze got de best of dem and dey
croaked in Paris and left two kids. De
girl wuz Trilby, but de boy kid don't cut
no ice in de story. De girl wuz a dandy
and some painter bloke got stuck on her
shape and made a model of her to draw
from. Den dey ail got a-paintin’ her
and makln' chalk images of her left foot
or somethin’ and so she met three English
guys who wuz in Paris learnln* paintin'.
There wuz a big bloke, bigger'n Corbett,
and a Scoth mug and a little dude. Of
course, Trilby’s old man bein’ English,
she fell right In wld dts push, and soon
she wuz mendin' detr socks and right to
home wld dem. BImeby the big fellow
got spooney, but youse kids can’t under
stand dat part of it. Anny way, de little
dude wuz de winner. Dat’s Just like de
wlmmen. dey don’t know when dey got a,
good ting. If she’d made a play fer de big
guy I think he'd a flew de coop with her
and den de story wouldn’t ha’ been rlt
ten. But de kid wuz de winner, ez I sed,
but she gave himde marble heart because
she know'd she'd been slttln' round wid
de painters wldout no close on and his
folks mightn’t like It. So den a dago wat
wuz a great music!ner got in wld de gang
and, of course, got stuck on Trilby, too.
He wasn’t no good except for playin’ the
planer and wuz always pullin' some one's
leg and wouldn’t give any one the glad
hand who wruz fool enough to cough up.
Well, any way, when the kid told her
he’d skip if she didn’t morry him, she
weakened and said all right. Den de
kid’s ma came over from London and
put de blinkers on de whole racket and
made Trilby Are him, see? Den de dude
took sick and de dame went on de bum
for a while, when she met de dago and he
mesmerized her, same as de bloke does
guys up at Dorises’ museum last week,
and hully gee! how she could sing when
she wuz asleep—no, I mean when she
wuz under his influence. Weil, in a few
years she made a big hit all over Europe
and come to London, and wot d’yer
think? De night she wuz to make her ta
boo—dat means her first appearance, see?
—didn’t de dago drop dead In de box scar
ed t' death of de big feller I wuz teiyn.’
yer about, wot wuz stuck on Trilby in
Paris, who wuz in de theayter dat night.
Gee! den dere wuz fun.1 She couldn't
sing a little bit because de dago wuzn’t
dere to mesmerize her. ana 6hfc got sick
and de little dude got sick: but any way,
dey both croaked. But youse couldn't
tumble to dat part of de stoiy. But if
could road and understand dere’s lots I
couldn’t ell about dat would make yer
leak even If yef wuz taft. The big feller
wuz a oorker and de kid wuz a game one,
too, but yer can’t phase wimtnen. My
Maag Is Jest de same Way. Hully gee!"

lose the Industrial school? That brilliant
but erratic prophet had not formed the
acquaintance of Montevallo's energetic
citizens, or ho would know that when
once they put shoulder to the wheel the
wheel moves. Neither did the aforesaid
prophet attend the impromptu meeting of
citizens last night in the Methodist
church, where a genuine love feast was
held and $7000 In hard cash was raised in
less time than It takes to tell of It.
Montevallo surely deserves the school
for the pluck she has exhibited. The
smallest among the towns competing for
the prize, she outbid them all, and she
does not ask until the 1st of January to
raise the $9000 required by the trustees,
but will have'it all subscribed by the end
of the present week.
There will be another meeting of cit
izens on Friday night, and on Saturday
there will be a grand school rally, to
which every man, woman and child In the
district Is invited. No! Montevallo does
not Intend to give up the school.
Under the brilliant leadership of Mrs.
James Lacey McConaughy a new literary
circle has recently been formed, which
