 OPENS TUESDAY
With Dr. Robert Mcintyre as
 the Orator.
BRILLIANT SEASON FRAMED
Including Musical Entertainments, Hu- morous Lectures and Talks on Science Season Closes in April-Tickets
 Are Now Being Disposed of.

The second season of the Birmingham Lycesm will open with lecture next Tues day night at o'clock, by Dr. Robert Me- Intyre, pastor of the great St. James Methodist church, the largest in Chicago.
 pr. Mcintyre devotes his annual vacation to the lecture platform. He likes to lecture, has most brilliant repertoire of lectures, and is one of the most brilliant platform orators in the United States. He was here last year on his first trip in the south, and those who heard his lecture "Buttoned-u2- People, will never forget him or the lec- ture. His description of the Chicago fire was perhaps more dramatic than any act ing ever heard in Birmingham, except when Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett played Othello and Julius Caesar here years ago. Dr. Mcintyre was so unanimously urged to "come again" by all the lyceums in the south he appeared before last year that he is practically making the same trip again. He is the only one of the last lyceum course here who was re-engaged, though some of the most eminent and brilliant men of the United States lectured in this course last season. He will not deliver the same lec- ture, however.
 About two weeks after Dr. Mcintyre will come Fred Emerson E 7oks, the California poet-the author and reciter of "Picketts Charge at Gettysburg" the most thrilling poem of it's kind ever written, and pro- nounced by all who hear it as unsurpassed by any of the descriptions in song or story of the "Charge at Balaklava." or any Of the worlds historic scenes of blood ard iron. MT. Brooks delivers a lecture and also recitations from his own works.
 The third entertainment will be by EX- Governor George w. Peck. of Wisconsin, in November. He will, with humor ana philosophy, discuss, Good Bad Boys, and Bad Good Boys." He is much more fa- nous as-the author of "Peck's Bad Boy than as governor of Wisconsin or editor of the Milwaukee Sun.
 The lyceum will be next entertained by the Schubert Giee club, composed Of SIX ar tists, four gentlemen and two ladies, who will give fine programme Of both Vo."l and instrumental music as one would wish to hear.
 Other lectures and musicals will follow the plan being to have them about two weeks apart, until the season ends next April. There will be an impersonator in the course-Mr. Edwin L. Barker, who will

 There will also be a scientific lecture, Illustrated with apparatus, by Professor Louis Favour, who will explain all the prin- ciples of electricity applied to various practical purposes, which many educated people who see the wonders worked thereby every day, do not understand Ten lectures and musical entertainments are guaran- teed, but ii the Lyceum membership is enough to fill the hal there will be twelve or thirteen lectures procured wilh the Ly- ceum fund.
