vile railroad, informs us that his office
is being flooded with letters inquirlng
about homes in Alabama. He don't

There is a general sentiment all over the
state that the legislature should enact
law creating the office OF commissioner
of immigration. There is no doubt that
If the right sort of man is appointed to
fill this office, after 1t Is created, that 1t
will be made a splendid investment for
the state.
Gem r. d. Johnston has been In the
northwest for the past two weeks and
brings back the most encouraging news
in regard to immigration to the south
He thinks with proper nducement that
a large number of people can be induced
to come to Alabama and make their fu-
ture home.
six families travelling in wagons from
the northwest are now en- route to Ala
bama to make this their future nome.
Large numbers of Immigrants are ex-
pected next month"; at Thorsby, where
they will locate.

The coming of the sweet singer, Charles
A. Karl Gardner, is worthy of more than
passing notice. His ability as singer
and comedian, allied to the fact of his
always bringing a firSt-class supporting
company to interpret wholesome play
of dramatic worth, makes the announce
ment of his coming welcome. Mr.. Gard
ner's comedy is good without being ex-
aggerated in order to force laugh. He
possesses more sentiment than any of
the men now essaying this line of parts.
He is endowed with clear tenor voice
which will be heard to advantage in his
charming rendition of The Bubble Song,
Chamois Hunter, Spinning Wheel, Karls
invitation Echo Choruses, and his latest
song, 1.-The Lily" fit companion to the
Lilac and Apple Blossoms" In the
comedy of "Fatherland," in which Mr..
Gardner appears, the author has written
a refined and neat story of Tyrolean
home life. The eternal varieties of hu-
man nature are drawn with no uncer-
tain hand. The unravelling of the story
shows the deft hand of the experienced
dramatist, Astounding in quaint and hui
morous situations. as well as striking and
dramatic climaxes.
Mr.. Gardner carries an unusually
strong company, and the patrons of

lie Roi est mort; vive lie Roi.'' 1.-The
king is dead; long live the king" In the
present instance it should read the
queen" as it records the dethronement
of poor "Trilby" in favor of her new and
formidable rival, Carmen the efferves-
cent bewitching, beautiful Carmen" the
heroine for whom men would kill each
other. In the entire. realm of fiction
there is no more remarkable character
terest, the magnetism, the charm and
the attractiveness that is the chief power
welded by all beautiful women who have
been spoiled by adulation. Allied to these
points she is romantic and interesting.
1t Is no small wonder then that poor,
we'll worn "Trilby'' had to abdicate in
Garments" favor. No play of recent
years has attracted so much favorable
comment as this story of the Spanish
Gypsy. Originally made familiar through
the medium of Bizet's famous opera of
the same name, its dramatic interest has
been intensified in the form of play. In
the forthcoming production of the play
in this city Miss Rosabel Morrison, one
of the best and most favorably known Of
the younger stars, assumes the title part.
She Is eminently fitted for the role, being
in appearance the exact counterpart of
Merimee's heroine. She has received
lavish praise for her performance. Her
supporting company is headed by Ed
ward Elsner, an actor of wide experience.
The production is mounted with great
care and a great novelty is the introduce
ton of the celebrated eidoloscope, with
which the bull fight is given in exact re-
production of the genuine event. 1t lasts
fully fifteen minutes. Miss Morrison's
season thus far has been one of the ex-
traordinary successes of the year.
Carmen is billed for Wednesday
evening.
