A CARD.

To State Herald:
The news now being spread abroad that
I have come out of the race for mayor Of
the city of Birmingham is not true,
desire to say to my friends and the public
generally that 1 am in the contest to stay
until it is settled by the election, Dec. 1.
1t Is generally known that 1 was a can
didate in 1894, and for what was supposed
to be the general good and at the solicita-
ton of citizens who had only the best
interests of our city at heart, l ADAM
doned the race in the interest of the can
didate who succeeded In being elected, be-
lieving that was the best course to pur-
sue and having at heart the desire to Sc
cure good government. Two of Mr. Van
Hoses friends, on the night of the 18th
instant, after IL O'Clock at night, at my
residence, presented me a letter from
that gentleman In which he stated In sub
stance that he had been importuned to
make the race for mayor but would not
do so without my consent.
/ replied that had no objection to his
entering the race. If any one has con-
strued my reply to mean that I give way
for him, or that am promoting his In
terests. that Interpretation Is not correct,
and not warranted by the facts.
Respectfully,
c. f. ENSLEN.

LILLIAN RUSSELL.

Resplendent In her beauty and charms,
the famous native queen of the lyric
stage, Miss Lillian Russell, will be seen
here ON Tuesday, Nov. II, in novel pro-
duction called, with absolute reference
to herself, "An American Beauty" 1t is
by two of the most successful co-workers
of the day, Messrs. Hugh Morton and
Gustave Kerker, who wrote the libretto
and the music respectively. These gen
tlemen were specially commissioned to
fit Miss Russell with lyrical novelty by
Canary and Lederer, of the New York
Casino, under whose able direction the
diva appears this season.
"An American Beauty" Is not after the
style of the conventional comic opera. IL
is in many respects similar to the recently
remarkably successful productions of the
New York Caseno, breezy foamy.
Astounding in simple, catchy music and
replete with comedy that is not buffoon-
cry. In her new role Miss Russell has the
fullest freedom for the display or her
brilliant capabilities, not only as prima
DONNA but also as Coincidence. she Is
not constrained to appear simply as
woman of rarest destinations and as
woman of faultless beauty of face, as she
unquestionably is, but she has full play to
act as we'll as to sing and disport about
the stage with the righteousness and chic
for which she is, among her familiars,
especially noted. 1t Is, she declares the
Seats for Lillian Russelrs performance
will be placed on sale Monday morning
at $50 o'clock.
YALES DEVILS AUCTION"
The bicycle craze Is aptly burlesqued
and pantomimely illustrated in this years
production of Chas. H. Yale's Forever
Devils Auction" and Manager Yale is
to be congratulated upon the immediate
hit of his successor to his trolley car pam
tomine, which has created no end OF
laughs the past two or three seasons.
The main point in the success of the "bi-
cycle craze" is that 1t Is timely, while
the subject itself Is treated in such an
absurd manner as to prove more than
funny to the most blase theater-goers. 1t
deals with the rather startling and realis-
tic experiences of that genius homo
known from Maine to California as the
"hoboi" in an attempt to secure by fair
means or foul number of the silent
steeds" and in their inability to do So,
they NJ nufacturs few home made ma
chimes from different articles which are
obtained under most trying circum-
stances A number of very funny char
acters and incidents are aptly introduced
and the entire episode goes from start
to finish with rush that proves conclu-
siyely that the average audience recog-
nize and appreciate anything that Is
novel and timely, and in SO doing stamp
it with the seal of their approval, which
means In managerial parlance, capacity
at every performance.
The Devils Auction" will be at
O'Brien's for three performances begin
ming Wednesday at matinee.
