THINGS DRAMATIC*
The Gran Opera company are giving
excellent performances at O'Brien's
opera house, and merit and deserve much
better audiences than any that has greet
ed them so far. The two houses yester
day were distressingly small, the one at
night was probably due to the bad
weather, but notwithstanding that the
"Black Hussar1' and the "Beggar Stu
dent" were presented in a manner en
tirely satisfactory to those present.
Mr. Grau has been very fortunate in
the selection of his company all the way
from the leading man to the chorus girls.
A better collection of good voices has not
been seen in Birmingham in a long time,
—the company comprising such well
known and talented vocalists as Miss
Adelaide Randall, Miss Kate Trayer, Mr.
J. Aldrich Libby. Mr. Fred Frear and
Miss Hattie Arnold.
The chorus is splendid and received
hearty applause.
Herman Waldo and Tom Martin are
very clever comedians, and have an orig
inal way of springing old gags that make
them really amusing.
"The Black Hussar" was played at
matinee yesterday and “The Beggar
Student" last night. The cast for "The
Beggar Student" was as follows:
Synion Symonavitch, a beggar student,
,T. Aldrich Llbboy; Janitzka, his compan
ion, a Polish officer. Herman Waldo;
General Ollendorf, military governor of
Crakow. Fred Frear; Lieutenant Poppen
burg, Miss Kate Trayer; Mayor Holtz
burg. A. E. Arnold: Lieutenant Swartz
burg, Miss Lizzie Sanger; Captain Holtz
hein. Miss Addie Arnold; Enterlcli, a
jailer, Tom Martin; Puffki, his assistant,
Frank Woodman; Lanelord, Edgar La
Nyon; Countess Palniatica, Miss Hattie
Arnold; Laura, Bronislva. her daughters,
Miss Adelaide Randall, Miss Amy Leslie.
The Grau Opera company will be at
O'Brien's again tonight, presenting a new
play, and at matinee tomorrow and again
tomorrow night.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
A Popular Drummer Loses a Fine Horse and
His Barn.
Sunday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, there
was a brilliant flash of lightning, follow
ed by a sharp clap of thunder, which
startled many people, but no one thought
of Its doing any damage. A few minutes
later, however, the barn of Mr. Brooks,
on Second street. South, was discovered
to be on fire and an alarm of fire was
turned in.
The Are department responded with
their usual promptness, but the barn was
too far gone to be saved, and was soon
entirely destroyed.
It was found on investigation that Mr.
Brooks' horse, a beautiful yellow car
riage horse, had been struck by the bolt
of lightning and killed.—Columbus, Miss.,
Index-Democrat.
Mr. Brooks is one of the most popular
drummers that comes to Birmingham,
and has many friends in the city who
sympathize with him in his loss. Mr.
Brooks had refused $250 for his horse
only a few days before it was killed.

With So Many Attractions Which Will You
Select ?
Birmingham is livening up considera
bly of late and the question with the peo
ple now is not “where can we go to
amuse ourselves?" but “which place shall
we go?" With the theater, the flower
show, card parties, receptions, luncheons
and the numerous other places the people
are kept pretty busy. But in addition to
alt these there is one other place where
genuine pleasure can be found, and that
Is at the skating rink in the Ely ton block.

About 3 o'clock yesterday morning a
man tried to get in Mr. J. F. McCary’s
residence, on Twentieth street, near
Beeler station. The would-be burglar
made considerable noise in effecting an
entrance to the room and woke Mr. Mc
Cary’s baby, who cried out and awoke
Mr. McCary. The burglar beat a hasty
retreat, but Mr. McCary drew a revolver
from under his pillow and fired two shots
at the intruder. The bullets missed their
mark.
The county dogs were telephoned for
and put on the trail. The dogs scented
the trail to a servant’s house, near by.
iA negro man was found in the house and

A BABY ON THE STEP,
An Infant of Two Months Which Had Been De
serted by Its Mother Is Found and
Sent to the Mercy Home.
A little white baby was found yester
day on a door step at yra. Tillman's
boarding: house, at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Nineteenth street. It was
left there by some unknown person. The
parents of the little waif are not known.
The bahy was sent to the Mercy Home
and the police are trying to discover its
parentage.
Just about supper time last night the
diminutive specimen of humanity was
deposited on the doorstep. The baby Is
about two months okl and was neatly
but not extravagantly clad. A little
wicker basket and some warm coverings
protected it from the chill evening air.
Yesterday .morning a woman heavily
veiled came to the city,from Atlanta. She
had with her a basket, a small, cheap,
wicker basket, that served as a cradle
for a. baby. She was driven to one of the
leading hotels and left a satchel and a
picture after engaging a room. She did
not leave the baby and the basket. It is
said, but carried the child to the Mercy
Home. '1 ..e ohild waslnot' received at the
institution and after application at two
private residences in North Birmingham
the woman returned to her hotel with the
baby. She engaged her driver for 4
o'clock, but when he called she sent him
a message that she did not need him. At
5 o'clock yesterday'afternoon she left the
hotel, taking the baby with her. The
satchel and the picture were not taken
away.
Whether the baby found on Nineteenth
street and the infant that was in charge
of the lady at the hotel are the same is
pot definitely known, but It is so believed
by the police. Every effort is being made
to discover the child's parentage.

The Mystery Partly Cleared.
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 14.—The woman
killed near Laredo yesterday and called
Caloline Menim or Menn was Mrs. Chris
tiana Hemm of St. Louis. She came to
Dallas in September last and registered
at the Post Office hotel as Mrs. Schultz.
Recently she paid a visit to St. Louis and
on her return last week brought with her
the child whom she said was her niece,
Ethel Fisher. Her husband, she said,
had recently dide. She told Mrs. Marks,
the proprietress of the hotel, her real
name, and said the reason she had
registered as Mrs. Schultz was because
she was trying to avoid a man named
Kuntz of St. Louis, who had long wanted
her to marry him, which she declined to
do until her husband, who was in bad
health, should die. She said she was
afraid Kuntz would kill her for this, so
she took the assumed name. She left for
Houston, Tex., last Saturday, telling Mrs.
Marks that she was to be married at
Houston, but did not name the man. Her
last words on leaving the hotel were:
“When I am man-led I shall send you a
group picture of my husband, my niece
and myself." There Is no doubt that the
three dead bodies at Laredo are those of
Kuntz, Mrs. Hemm and Ethel Fisher, all
of St. Louis.

Mr. Lodge’s Opinion.
Lrtndon. Nov. 14.—The Chronicle will
tomorrow publish an interview with Mr.

roe doctrine. Mr. Lodge expresses the
belief that the next congress will formal

that the doctrine Is an integral part of
the policy of the United States, which
will be maintained at all hazards. He
thinks that the position of the United
States in regard to the American conti

Brave Little Greece.
Athens, Nov. 14.—It is reported here
that Greece has requested the powers
which are acting conjointly in the Turk
ish matter to allow her to join in any
naval manifestation that may be made
against Turkey. The request is made on
the ground that the large number of
Greeks residing in Turkey should be pro
tected by their own government. If the
powers assent to the request the Greek
minister of marine will order the steel
barbette ship Spezie, 44S0, one of the
largest ships in the Greek navy, to join
the allied squadron.

BOUFFA’S CLOSE CALL.
Though Innocent, He Would Have Been
Lynched if Caught.
New Orleans, Nov. 14.—It will be re
membered that- the fire which destroyed
the greater part of Algiers on the night
of October 20 was supposed to have been
caused by one Paul Bouffa setting his
store on fire. Had he been caught that
same night he would certainly have been
lynched. He was brought over to New
Orleans under arrest early on Sunday
and has ever since been confined In the
parish prison.
Today he was carried over to Algiers
and appeared before the fourth record
er's court for trial on the charge of ar
son.
Since the fire opinion In Algiers has
changed altogether in favor of the sus
pected man. The court was crowded
and great interest was taken in the trial.
Bouffa looked anything but a guilty man.
A number of witnesses were examined
for the state, but their evidence was dis
tinctly In favor of the accused. The
witnesses for Bouffa proved that he was
in New Orleans when the fire broke out.
After hearing the evidence the judge said
Bouffa had clearly proved an alibi and
discharged the prisoner.

tutional school tax below 3 mills. At
present it is 2 mills. The convention ad
journed till 7:30 p. m. to attend the state
fair.
The convention reassembled at 7:30 this
evening and continued the discussion of
the educational article. Senator Tillman
made a big speech advocating a 3-miil
constitutional school tax. President
Evans left the chair for the first time
during the session, and taking the floor
locked horns with the senator, urging
that the constitution should be left clear
of any stipulated tax, thus leaving the
matter to the general assembly. The
convention voted down the proposition to
leave the tax to the legislature, and also
the proposition to fix a minimum tax. as
well as that to fix the tax at 2 mills.
Then it adjourned at a late hour. Three
mills, fixed In the constitution, is what
the committee has recommended and it
Is going through.
