Wilton Lack aye, in the title role, assisted by such Well-knownrartists IS Miss Marie Vain wright, the veteran Couldoek, Forrest Robinson Byron Douglass, Joseph Allen, Miss Caroline Franklin, Ali Hampton, Miss Alice Evans and others, gave a per- formance which was artistic as well as appreciable. To see production of this kind and to appreciate it, the cast must be made up of lust such people as were in last nights muster. /
 MT. Lackaye's role is a difficult one. For being of Gods creation to trans forms himself into a minion of satan is no easy task It requires the forget ting of self-aaaemusts necessarily require skill and ability. Such MT. Lackaye pos- sesses. +
 Miss WalawTight sis by no means sa stranger to Birmingham. She has been seen at O'Briens many times, but in an altogether different role. s

FIRE AT PRATT
Consumed by Fire Sunday Night Furniture and Books Saved

Sunday night, about 8 o'clock. fire broke out in the office of the Tennessee com pany, Pratt City, consuming the entire building. together with the office of the superintendent of the railroad and that of the mining engineer. The fire is SUD- posed to have caught from defective fiue but the flames had full headway when discovered, and it was impossible to determine with any accuracy the ori- gin The books and furniture in all the offices were saved, but the building was totally consumed.
 The loss is estimated at about $1.50o, and is fully covered by insurance.
 Pratt City has no fire company, but the bucket brigade did all in their power to arrest the flames but all to no effect, and seeing the building could not be saved devoted their attention to saving the furniture and books. trks..

MINISTER'S MEETING.
They Will Make Hand-to-Hand Strug-
 gle for the Anti-Pool Bill.

gle for the Anti-Pool Bill.
 The ministers meeting was held yes- terday morning in the First Methodist church. The anti-pool bill was brought up for discussion. Rev. O. P. Fitzsimons said that the First Methodist church had been selected as the place for the union services next Sunday night. All the pas tors will preach on the subject Sunday morning, and at night all the churches will be closed and all will rally at the First Methodist church. The churches in the suburbs will be closed, and Father O'Reilly, of the Catholic church. had promised his help. If there was an over flow meeting, the opera house would be secured. It was intended to impress the legislators with the intense interest that the people feel against betting on horse races It would have a good effect if the papers should announce on Monday that . thousands could not gain admittance.
 , Rev. MT. Culver asked if anyone would be in Montgomery to lobby for the bill. Mr Fltzsimons replied that Hon. B. H. Cabaniss would be on the ground con- stanty and would telegraph friends to come at critical period. He added that there was opposition to the anti-pool bill. That the members of the legislature treated it as a joke; that men who had other plans to work thought 1t might prejudice those plans; that the telegraph COHfpdIlieS OppOSeu lt-ln Idct there was q colossal aggregation of forces against it. The bill had been introduced and referred to the judiciary committee. A legislator had told him the bill was buried, and a tombstone had been erect ed over it.. He had replied that it was impossible to bury virtue, that it would come to life, that Christ had risen from the grave and yet liveth. This was going to be fight to the finish. If the present legislature did not pass the bill, the good people must keep up the fight and make 1t legislative issue at the next election. The success of the measure depended up- on the Methodist and Baptist churches if they would take hold of it with the de- termina ton to win they would win. The Episcopal church was not so strong in this state as the other denomina tions.
 !, Resolutions were passed asking the pastors to preach on the anti-pool bill Sunday morning and unite in the great mass meeting Sunday night.

musical circles MT. Oliver Chalifoux was called to the chair. The object of the meeting was discussed, and after due consideration it was decided to call an- other meeting for next Monday night. This step was taken because it is desired to enlist all musicians ln this coming festival, and it is believed that at the next meeting there will be many present from. the suburban towns as well as from the city. At this meeting permanent or ganization will be perfected. It is pro- posed to organize a large orchestra in connection with the chorus, and all mu- sicians, both vocal and instrumental are cordially Invited to take part in this festival It promises to be the biggest thing of its kind ever held in the south. It is no. mans festival, but the peoples festival. Those present had quite an interesting rehearsal last night under Prof. Guckenberger's jurisdiction.

It makes woman attractive bynaking herwholesome.
 Whenever there is c1ogged condition of the liver and bowels, Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best things to use. They start the healthy, natural action of the digestive or gans, and assist Nature in removing poisonous and edete matter.

Complaint is again made of the gath
ering of hoodlums in the vicinity of
King and Liliha and on School be-
tween Liliha and the upper bridge.
These boys are of several nationalities,
but all of one intent. They make all
the noise possible, greatly annoy pass
ers by, and do not hesitate to assault
Chinese or peaceably inclined young
boys. The gang at Liliha and King
was cleared out by the Police a few
months ago. but has reorganized and
is worse than before.

Two Good Papers Read at the
Last Meeting.
DR.. and Mrs. G. P. Andrews enter
tanned representative delegation OF
the Cousins Society" last Saturday
evening, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. P. Castle. Jos. Emerson, the presi-
dent, was in the chair. Prof. w. D..
Alexander read a paper detailing the
voyage of Rev. Reuben Tinker from
Honolulu to Windward in 1881. An ac-
count of this trip was published in the
Advertiser some weeks ago. The incl
dent is of real historical value and the
record will be kept.
Rev. Oliver J. Emerson's paper dealt
with the problem of providing good
reading matter for the HaWaiianS
throughout the group. He proposes the
plan of having few libraries that may
be sent from point to point and man
aged in their travels by the native pas
tors. Rev. Mr.. Emerson and number
of others are very much in earnest in
this matter and will not cease their eff
forts till something is accomplished.
Mrs. w. w. Hall added much to the
plasure of the evening by reading. A
Christmas story from the Chatauquan
was given.
There were two musical numbers that
were much appreciated. The first was
a trio by Messrs. Marx and Taylar and
Miss Patch The second was violin
solo by Mr.. Marx, with Miss Patch at
the piano.

Bile into two distinct classes, viz; the
fundamental and the accessory. The
fundamental are first developed. and
as their name indicates, are the
muscles on which all great movements
depend. The accessory, on which de-
pend all the finer and more delicate
adjustments Of the body do not fair
ly begin their growth before the eighth
year, and in many people they arc
partially wasting.
These last are facts which every
teacher should bear in mind, for on
them depends n most important peda-
gogical principle. 1t is by means of
the accessory muscles that variety and
intricnCy of voice, finger, or other
manipulation become possible. To keep
child at exercises requiring fine dis
elimination. Mt an age when these
muscles are undeveloped, is therefore
little short of cruelty, and must reach
disastrously upon his nervous system.
The most common instances of the
violation of this principle. is in set
ting very young pupils to writing.
The lolling of the tongue, the grim
aces, and the nervous twitchlng OF the
body during this exercise, should all
be regarded as danger signals, which
II not needed are likely to end in chorea
or st. Nitus dance.
The accessory muscles have well
been called the muscles of thought.
since IL Is upon THESE UTMOST entlrely
that mind depends for expression. So
dellcately poised are they that they
respond instantly to every change of
thought or emotion. By practice they
may perhaps be repressed to degree
but II left to themselves they make
the face and form n canvas on which
our innermost souls are portrayed to
the eye that has learned to read the
souls language.
Nor need this language be known to
the consciousness of him who eX-
pressed ii. The planohette is a little
instrument which gives easy play to
automatic muscle communication. and
with 1t thoughts and ideas not in con-
seriousness are committed to writing.
A common form Of the experiment liz
to place the hand on n pane OF glass
fitted with pencil. and made to roll
freely over the sheet of paper by
means of three marbles.
AS before intimated, weakness or
disease of the accessory muscles re-
suits in chorea or st Vitus dance. 1t
is essential to the health of these mus
cles that they be perfectly free to ex-
press any form of thought or emotion
to which the mind is subject. Repres-
sion retards their development ana
leaves them weak and subject to dis
ease.
