Crawford's novel have not been reproduced
in his play. The romantic fog scene. upon
the Newport cliffs which is the gem of the
story. becomes a drawing room colloquy
on the stage. In fact. the play is Il CON

HELD FOR MURDER.
Jesse Sogers, a Local Negro, Is Arrested on That Charge at the Request
 of the Chicago Police.


 Jesse Sogers, negro who has hitherto born good reputation, was arrested last Monday night by Officers Patton and Culpepper on Seventeenth street, between Eleventh and Twelfth avenues, in his home. The charge against him is mur- der committed in Chicago nearly two years ago.
 A Hebrew merchant named Speratastos was killed in Chicago about two years ago and Jule Townsend, Birmingham negro was arrested for the crime. At the time Officers Patton and Newman arrested Sogers here for the crime, but on account of the lack of sufficient evil dence to convict the Chicago officers or dered him released.
 In the meantime Townsend was tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. On the day originally set for his execution his brother, Will Townsend, was killed in a barroom fight over a game of pool on Second avenue, near Twenty-second street. The convicted murderer obtained a respite and, it Is thought, made con- fession duplicating Sogers.
 Capt. Weir received a telegram about 7:S0 o'clock Monday night from J. F. F'itz- patrick, inspector of the Chicago police, to arrest Sogers In less than three hours Officers Patton and Culpepper ha d him behind the bars and Capt. Weir had a amessage flashing over tho wires to the Windy City police.
 Yesterday another message was re- ceived here at police headquarters re- questing the local officials to hold So- gers for the arrival of an officer. The warrant was mailed yesterday.

 < SOCIETY'S DOMAINS. RaAARGAaA=AAAAA

Mrs. L. Crozier French, of Knoxville, Tenn, is now ia Birmingham on a visit to her son, who is in the office of Moore Handy Hardware company. Her place os residence is 1904 Fifth avenue. Mrs. French has taken a prominent part in matters educational for fifteen years or mores and pupils of hers are scattered all over the south. She is contemplating establishing somewhere in the south a school of menticulture and expression to include elocution, oratory, dramatic art, 1itera ture, history, psychology, art and music. To many the branches enumer- ated will appear suited only to those ad- yanced somewhat in education, but it is Mrs. Frenchs intention to have pre- paratory department where children of all ages will be received. She believes that the poor teaching of reading which prevails in many schools retards the de- velopment of children. The education which it now takes them twelve years to obtain she believes could be accomplishe ed in eight if better system of reading pre- vailed Reading is the key by which all book knowledge is to be obtained and to be able to use it with facility is of the first importance. Very few persons, promi- nent educators not excepted, Mrs. French says, are aware of the fact that a scientific study of reading develops the reasoning faculties as no other study does. Judgment taste, sentiment, must all be brought into play at once: hence the most accurate analysis and utmost discrimination must be used in deciding the meaning of the author and how that meaning Is to be conveyed to others The nice shading in tone, pitch, time, infiec- ton and emphasis that is required in the interpretation of the masterpieces of lit erature tenls to the development of all the faculties of the mind
 It is Mrs. Frepch's intention to invite the people of Birmingham. at an early day to hear her give an exposition of her system. Should her methods receive fla fora ble recognition. she will go to work with energy to establish a school that will be an homer no doubt to Birming- ham and the south.
 Mrs Henry Weber, of Nashville, Tenn, after pleasant visit to her niece, Mrs. c. T. Randall, on Eleventh avenue, has re- turned to her home.
 The friends of Miss Lula Woods will re- gret to hear that she is still very i'll at her home. Monerief Station, South High lands
