 Rev. Sam Jones is waking up the St. Louis people. He incidentally told how much be is worth as follows:

THINGS DRAMATIC.

D. ". Truss & Co.,, sole owners of Wang" will present that we'll known and successful comic opera at O'Brien,s tomorrow night. r
 One of the scenes in "Wang" represents the river landing place of one of Siam's least known towns. This is Pechaburi, 100 miles southwest of Bangkok. Although the king has summer palace there and the place will some day be famous as sanitarium for Europeans, yet it's present. obscurity made it matter of great difd- culty to obtain accurate date upon which to construct the scenery for s"Wang.n This scenery will be used in all it's entirety on this occasion.
 press dispatch recently stated that the state crown worn by the king of Siam weighs twenty eight pounds. Alth gh in the Siamese opera of "Wang" is a per- feet reproduction of the original. It is a conical cap of gold forming a pagoda, or high pyramid of filigree work studded with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds.
 DAINTY FANNY RICE.
 Every lover of song and fun will be de. lighted with the announcement of the ap- pearance at the Opera house on Wednesday evening of clever and dainty Fanny Rice in operatic comedy, and it gives the talented little lady the opportunity to display her very peculiar and original talents and great versatility. It Is a decidedly novel comedy, quite unlike anything heretofore seen upon the American stage. It is probably the most popular of all comedies in Germany or France. The great German comedian, Marie Geistinger, in "Nancy," or "Three Pairs of Shoes,' as it is called there hy, her, occupies about the same relative etandiug as Joe Jefferson in "Rip Van Wrinkle" in this country. It has long been known of here, but has never been pro- duced until now because of the extremely exacting requirements of the principal character, which is displayed by Miss Rice. It fits this little lady like glove, 1t is said and she is likely to establish herself in the character equally as closely as has Geist- finger. The play requires a company of strictly frst-class players, as every part in it is an important one in the development of the story and the fun. Miss Rice's com pany is said to be entirely adequate to all the demands upon it, and the result is 6 smooth, finished performance and delight- fuI entertainmen

THE BIRMINGHAM CONVENTION.

Montgomery AQVertISef
 Everything points to large attendan ce at the meeting of the Alabama Commercial association in Birmingham on April 2. The various commercial clubs throughout the state have arranged to send delegates, and there is good reason to think that every country in the state will be represented.
 The success of our exhibition at Atlanta depends upon this convention, aud if the state is thoroughly covered by the repre- sentatives sent to 1t, the plan of procedure decided upon will be apt to be acceptable to all sections. It is desired to have delegates from every town in the state if practicable, and the editors of the state papers are re- quested to attend.
 The object in asking for such a large at tendance is, that as the excellence of our exhibit at the Cotton States exposition is a matter of great importance to every citizen of Alabama. it is desired that every corner of the state shall have voice in the selec- tion of the plan to be followed, and in ap- pointing of committees to carry on the work of gathering and preparing the ex- hibit, care can be taken to have all the counties covered.
 The first and most important step in the matter is to have a large representation at this convention, and the present indica- tions are that this will be accomplished. If tho Alabama Commercial association will get the railroads running into Birmingham to make a rate to delegates of one fare for the round trip from all Alabama points, it will materially help the attendance. AS before stated, the success of the enterprise depends upon this convention, and 1t is very essential that the many resources of the state, both industrial and agricultural, , should be as fully represented as possible, so that the arrangements for gathering the material for the display can be fully per- fected and the work begun at once.

An ACCUSED TURNS ACCUSER

Before Justice Cardin.
BEER THIEVES ABOUT AGAIN
An Assault and Attempted Highway
Robbery in the First Ward at an Early
Hour This Morning-The Victim
Found Insensible by Policeman.

Justice Cardin and Constable Boland spent
several hours yesterday and to-day trying to
find out who stole three kegs of beer from the
saloon of Gustave WalkhOuse, ON West Centre
street, but notwithstanding four arrests in
connection with the case last night they have
apparently failed to get hold of the guilty
| parties. They have however, ELECTED in
| formation that will bring about the desired
result
Michael Dooley Michael Stanton, Michael
Scanan and Patrick Scally, four young men
under twenty years of age, were taken into
custody by Constable Boland last night and
| taken to the lookup, where they remained
until this morning, when they were taken
before Justice Cardin. All the accused
pleaded not guilty. Evan Gladwel, step
son Of Mrs. Little of West Centre street.
testified that the accused called at the house
while his parents were at the Salvation
Army Sunday night and asked permission to
take the beer into the house The request
was refused. Mrs. Little said she drove. the
parties from the place when she arrived home
from the Salvation Army
Michael Stanton, like Holmes now on trial
at Philadelphia took his own case in hand
and in some very pointed remarks tried to
turn the tables ON Mrs. Little and her step
son. He swore that he drank the beer but
did not know it was stolen and that Gradwell
and fellow named Dowdy brought a
second keg to the shanty at the rear of Mrs.
Littles house. He also stated that Mrs.
| Little bottled some of the beer and that she
wanted the visitors to remain, but her hus-
band insisted that they leave. This Holmes
/ like bomb caused sensation and few
minutes after there was a hot exchange
| Mrs. Little and her step-sOn on the one side
between and the four accused young men ON
the other Mrs Little stoutly denied the
charges made by Stanton.
During the discussion sufficient was dropped
to lead the Justice to conclude that the beer
was stolen by kid" McAndrew and the
fellow called Dowdy, and warrants have been
issued for their arrest. The Justice held the
four accused in their own recognizance to ap-
pear when McAndrew and Dowdy are ar
rested. He also held Gradwell under like
bail ON the statements made by Stanton.
