The farce comedy surprise, Blaney's big musical extravaganza, "A Boy Wanted" :" comprises some of the best speciality artists in the profession. Any one of them would make "top-liner' for the best vaudeville show in America; besides playing the part assigned them in the comedy, they do in- dividual secialty acts, actually giving in this attraction two big shows in one-farce comedy and vaudeville. MT. Blaney person. ally directs rehearsals previous to the open- ing of the season, and any act, feature, pun or song introduced by them during re- hearsals must be up to the hour and in keeping with his comedy. He is very strict on this point and will not allow one mo- ment to lag from the rise of the curtain until the finish of the performance. As they say in stage vernacular, he inserts plenty of ginger" "A Boy Wanted" will be presented at the opera house Monday night, September 26.

T HE STATE QUARANTINE.
The Work the Officials Are Doing on All
 Trains Entering the State.

inc state quarantine officers still contin- ue thelr work on every train running into the state, and many of them have to pass through Birmingham. They remain ol board the train until the first convenient stopping place outside of the state is reached, when they get off and catch the next train back.
 Every passenger who gets on must take an ironclad oath as to where he has been within the past ten days. The oath as re- vised up to date, is as follows:
 Have you, or has any child or other
 irresponsible party travelling in your
 charge, been within the past ten days
 in Key West, Fla, St. Mary's parish,
 or New Orleans, La, Yalobasha, La
 Fayette, Marshall, Montgomery, Boli-
 var or Hinds counties, Miss, and es-
 pecially in the cities or towns of Jack
 son, Raymond, Winona, Water Valley,
 Taylor's, Orwood Oxford, Waterford, Holly Springs, Past Christian, Bay St.
 Louis, Waveland or Lookout, Miss?
 Montgomery and Selma both have local quarantines. Their modus operandi is very much like that of the state officials except that their quarantine officers do not accompany the trains to such a distance as do those of the state board of health

WORK AT ENSLEY
 IGOES STEADILY ON
Two New Blasts and Four En-
 zines to be Added at Once
TO THE ENSLEY FURNACES
Done in Order That All Four of the Furnaces Can be Kept in Blast at Once-Bi-Product Plant Gas
 Being Used Temporarily,

Besides the many new industrial plants Ensley, extensive improvements in the manufactures already there are also being made almost daily.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has just decided to put in two new blowing machines at its big Ensley furnaces. To run these will require 9O0- horse power engines The engine house will have to be enlarged to accommodate them.
 This addition is being made in order that all four of the furnaces at Ensley can easily be kept in blast at one time, for the whole capacity of the plant will be taxed when the steel mill begins operations The work of putting in the new engines and blowing machines will be completed in about four months.
 Bi-Product ias in the Furnacs
 Gas mains are now being run from the new bi-product plants to the furnaces and it's entire output of 5000 900 cubic feet daily will be used in the furnaces until the steel mill is completed. For the present, there- fore the gas producers of the furnace will be practically out of use.
 The fact that the Tennessee company is arranging to put in patent pig iron east ing machine has already been stated
 The new tipple and screening plant which Is being erected at slope No ,, near Ensley, is now nearing completion and is one of the finest plants of its kind In the south. The old plant is being torn down. The coal washer at this slope is also being erected, as has been stated
