How a nan Locks the Doors

Womans Journal: He begins at the
back door and locks and bolts up all the
others from that to the front door. Then
he takes off his coat and collar.
By that time one OF the children wants
a drink OF milk and he has to unlock one
OF the doors to get it.
Then he locks the door carefully, goes
back and takes off his waistcoat and
winds up his watch
His wife suddenly calls and asks him
to make another expedition to see that
the dog has been chained up. He un-
locks two more doors and makes a tour of
inspection. All is well.
He proposes to retire. when suddenly
he is overcome with the conviction that
he yard gate is not locked. and away he
goes barefooted over the cold floor OF the
kitchen and the stone flags of the back
yard.
By the time he reaches the gate he is
uncertain whether any of the doors are
locked and he makes the grand tour again
al is secure.
He is JUST about to lie down hen his
wife suddenly betbinks herself that the
cook probably forgot to put the wood in
the oven SO that it will burn easily In the
morning, and away he goes again.
Before he gets back to bed he steps on
two marbles and sharp piece of TIN
whicn the childien have left on the floor.
At last he gets between the sheets and
lies down to pleasant or horrible dreams
he is never sure what they will be.
He is just doing off when the very
brilliant thought that the man servant is
out flashes across his brain and he gets
up and uniocks the kitchen door.
In exactly one hour and eleven minutes
from the time he begins preparations to
retire he is in bed for good, and one of
the doors is still unlocked.
He says. softly but solemnly, to him
self, that he'll be blowed if he'll under
take TO lock the doors again, even if bur-
glars surround the house four deep.
But the next night he repeats the per-
formance by special request.

remarkable and novel feat, something
the public will be greatly interested in.
They propose burning and sinking boat

will then put on their diving apparatus
and dive under the water for the wreck.
In fact, they will show everything con-
as finale, will dive to the bottom OF the

to advance that money to him for the
production, but without success.
Among the men who have made fort
unes rapidly oflste years in the theatrical
business, perhaps Mr.. Charles Hoyt
stands out the most prominent. Just
eleven years ago he first produced play,
under his own management, at Tony Pas
tors theater. 1t was The Rag Baby. Az
ter the production Mr.. Hoyt mad just 50
of his own, and sought hotel where he
could get a room for 81 and have 81 left
for breakfast. Today he is worth over
$400, 600.
A member of the profession" that
makes great deal of money is Professor
Hermann. His expenses are very light
and his business is always very big. Es-
pecially on the road is he a favorite. 1t
is said that his profits last season were
mate, as people in the business will tell
you that he clears 500, 900 year. Still
another man, who cannot make his ex-
penses in New York city, but who seems
to have money thrown at him in wads
wherever else he performs, is Mr.. Sol
Smith Russell. Whenever he plays in any
of the small western cities or villages
the house is always packed. In New
York it is always about half full only.
Mr.. Russell is very rich man, and owns
a great deal of property in st. Paul and
Minneapolis.
Next TO America perhaps more money
was made of The Black Crook than any
other spectacle ever produced. During
the first few years of its production it did
an enormous business. The kiralfys
never equaled it with anything since.
The Old Homestead is said to have clear
ed $3.50. 900 for Mr.. Thompson.
Contrary to the general belief, light op-
era has not been particularly well pay
ing branchsof the business. The Mikado
was the most profita bic llght opera for
the management ever played IN America.
Notwithstanding the general belief. Pima
fore did not make much money in this
country. The copyright law was not en-
forced. 1t was pirated by everybody ana
sung by amateur companies all over the
country. Of course. that killed it, fin
ancially, for the legitimate managers.

There was no doubt that Johnny Fizzle-

chievOus boy in the whole school. When

A GOOD REPORT
Is What Mayor VaDHoose Brings Back From the Metropolis.
 Alabama Is Coming.

Mayor VanHoose returned yesterday at noon from New York, whither he went two or three weeks ego on business con- nected with Birmingham's bonded in- debtedness.
 The recent legislature passed an act pro- viding for the refunding of the city's bonded debt at lower rate of interest. The council at its first meeting in this month authorized the mayor to go to New York and interview the bondholders on the subject of refunding the debt.
 ! The mayor is looking we'll and seems to be enjoying excellent health. He spoke very hopefully of the outlook, but could not give out much information just at present. He said the bondholders gave him an attentive hearing, and seemed to take great deal of interest in the matter. They did not thoroughly understand the situation of Birmingham, and the mayor believes as soon as they do understand it they will consent to the relief asked.
 Said Mayor VanHoose: ''rhe opinion pfevails in the east that the south is the coming section of the country. The people with whom talked in New York were very fayorably inclined towards the Birmingham district, and had numbers of them to pre- dict great future for us.
 "They are awaiting with no little inter. est the making of steel here. They feel that when that is done Birmingham's future Is assured.'
 Mayor VanHouse said he met Secretary Herbert while away. and had quite long talk with him. He said the secretary was deeply interested in Alabama, aud spoke in the most glowing terms of her prospects. The secretary, he said, was anxious to see steel made in this district, and felt sure 1t would be done witbiu short time. h speaking of Alabama coal the secretary said tie tests made by the steamship Montgom- cry had been satisfactory.

LAST TRIBUTE OF LOVE
PAID THE LAMENrED JUDGE LEROY F.
 BOX AT THE CHURCH AND aRAVE.

PAID THE LAMENrED JUDGE LEROY F.
 BOX AT THE CHURCH AND GRAVE.
 MELVILLE, March 28.-[Special Corre- pondence. 1.-The burial of Judge Leroy F. Box took place here yesterday. Rev. Mir. Milligan conducted the services at the Methodist church, of which Judge Box was a member, and during his remarks he paid many fitting tributes to the life and char acter of the deceased.
 It would be impossible to describe the touching and pathetic scene when the family and friends were permitted for the last time to gaze upon the noble face of one who for more than 20 years has gone in and out among us. The immense congrega- tion, the many friends from distance, the heaving breasts and fearful eyes showed the honor and love that our people bore for him.
 The colored people loved Judge Box, and it was beautiful to see their emotional fare- we'll to their friend and protector.
 At the conclusion of the services at the church the body of Judge Box was turned over to the Masons, who conducted 1t to the Ashville cemetery, where they buried him with Masonic honors by the side of his only son, Albert Eugene, who died in 1887.
 Judge Box leaves a wife and two daught- CTS to mourn his death.

ANOTHER ROAD IN SIGHT. Work of Building the Extension of the East and West Railroad Into Birmingham to Begin Without Delay-Col. c. A.
 Avery Talks.

Yesterday afternoon an AGE- HERALD reporter went to see Col. c. A. Avery of the East and West road, whois in the city, in regard to special concerning the East and West, sent outfrom New York to the Atlanta Constitution, and when he read the special said: "The following part of the item is true, but the rest Is garbled and there is no truth in 1t:
 "There are two ends to the story of the Seaboard Air Line's deal with the heirs of the late Eugene Kelly for lease or .pur- chase of the East and West railroad. MT. Edward Kelly, president of thes Broad, de- nied that the Seatoard Air ! Line had made any overtures to him whatever. The opinion here in railroad circles is that the Columbian Equipment company of 66 Broadway, who owns several terminals in Birmingham, has leased the East and West railroad and secured the right of way from Pell City to Birmingham for connecting link, and that they havo made arrangements with the Seaboard Air Line. whereby that line may have an opening through Birmingham to the west and southwest. Clarence E. stump, treas- urer of Ithe Columbian Equipment com pany, said this afternoon: "Yes; negot1a- lions are pending between the Columbian Equipment company a0u buo Edot duu West railroad for lease of that road lin which the Seaboard Air Line is interested. The deal has not been closed, but 1t will be completed in few days. I cannot give you any details of the transaction at pres ent, but come to see me week from today and I will tell you exactly what arrange ments are made.'
 Colonel Avery is hard at work getting everything in shape for the extension work which will begin in a few days.
 He stated also that he had appointed Mir. John Douglass superintendent of the East Birmingham and Highland Avenue and Belt lines and that the work would be pushed as fast as possible.
 The repairing of the rolling stock of the East Birmingham and tracks of both lines will begin in a few days.
 Cross ties were ordered yesterday for the East Birmingham line. He also stated that an engineer would be put in the field on Saturday or Monday to do the exten- sion work, which will begin here and meet. the East and West, instead of beginning at the termipus of the East and West and coming to Birmingham.
 He furthermore said that if in case there was a flicker with the Seaboard people that a line would certainly be built from here> to Atlanta, for contracts for the same had already been signed and sealed. Thus 1t will be seen that the work upon another line into Birmingham has already begun. :.
