The Columbia.

The lively calls of the bugle and the rattle of the war drum will be heard at the Columbia this week in the military drama, Fort Frayne," by the author of the popular novel of that name, Captain King The captain has been very success ful with his books of life on the frontiers, and as the story in question is a very in- teresting one and the production will be under the direction of the author, Fort Frayne" should prove very entertaining. particularly in these times of war. Close attention will be paid to the settings and costumes, and theater-goers will see a representation of garrison life as 1t IS and moi as 1t is conceived by authors who would not know a garrison from stock ward. The story is laid in Wyoming, at an army barracks near the Platte, and develops some sharply drawn characters, one of which is Crow Knife, an Indian, who appears in the play as United
 He is one e' of the few of his race whom the Government has been successful in utilizing in the regular army, ana ms participation in the scene WHicn aic as he' tho plot. makes him one or the important characters in the telling or the story.

Is ordered under arrest for Insulting an officer ana when the guard is called in to take him he at tempts to kill his superior with a knife, but instead mortally wounds the Indian who had stepped between them to pre- vent the deed. The soldiers confinement in the tower over the room where the ammunition is stored, and his attempt to fire the place brings about his death and injury Of others, as we'll as a way to the ultimate happiness of those concerned. IL Is said that General King has given, in this play, a correct reproduction of real soldiers, living a real life in Western army post, with its bugle calls. glimpses of the barracks and snow-covered parade ground. It Is said that Fort Frayne,' = Tn its atmosphere and characters, comes nearer photographing life in an army post than any play we have had. The cast will be interesting at this time, as the production is a new one.
 The cast is an excellent one, and in- cludes almost the entire strength of the Frawley Company, as follows:

It is the star part of Squire O'Connell, and gives him full scope for his abilities. The play has not been seen here in many years, but will be remembered as one of the best of it's class. The situations in many cases are and witty The scene where the hire lings of Kirk unroof the cottage over Duggan's dying father has a pathetic touch that harmoniZes well with the sub sequent struggle between the peasantry. There are charming bits of Irish scenery and plenty of amusing comedy element, which, with Johnson's clever work and the support of a well-balanced company should assure an evenings amusement.

Attended by Large Throng of Sorrow
 ing Friends.

The funeral of Mrs. Page Beard Nevins occurred from the Church of the Advent at 4o'clock yesterday afternoon, the ser vices being conducted by Rev. John G. Mur- ray.
 Mrs. Nevns many noble traits which scattered sunshine and good cheer in life drew to witness the last rites over her remains large throng of sorrowing friends. The floral offerings were numer- ous, the casket being banked with these beautiful tokens of friendship while the space around was taken up tn them.
 The funeral service of the Episcopal church is very impressive and the vocal selections by the choir were appropriate and sweetly rendered.
 Mrs. Nevins was one of the most exem- plary and noble Christian characters of Birmingham. She died at the residence of her father, Dr. Thos. J. Beard, on the South Highlands, Monday morning. She was, some time ago stricken with typhoid fever, protracted in it's most insidious form, followed by zeptic fever that defed the healing science alike of medicine and nurs- ing.
 She was the first child of Rev. Dr. Thom- as J. Beard of the Episcopal church, and his wife, and was born at Eufaula in 1865, when her father was rector of St. James church there About ten years ago she was married by her father in his then church here, the Church of the Advent, before a very large audience very happily, to young gentleman of high business standing, MT.

FOURTH SESSION
 OF COMMISSION
  Final Conclusion Reached on No Point Of Protocol. QUESTION OF PHILIPPINES
Has Not Yet Been Considered by the
 EnVOyS.
AMERICANS ARE WELL EQUIPPED
To Discuss the Subject, as They Have Acquired Exhaustive Information in Regard to the Islands
 The Cuban Debts.

Paris October 12.-12:2O a.. m.-After fourth joint session, lasting from O clock yesterday afternoon till 415, the American and Spanish peace commission adjourned without having reached final conclusion as to any point in the protocol.
 Thus far there has been no joint formula ton or specialization of views to be re- turned by each commission to it's govern ment for embodying in the final treaty.
 The question of the Philippines has not yet been considered in joint session though the Americans at their separatae sess ons have acquired exhaustive information from persons who have lived in the Philipp ne islands and done business there. They are now, therefore. well equipped to discuss the subject when 1t comes up. The Spanish commissioners have presented writtetn in- terviews, expressions and propositions to which there have been written rejo nders. These, in the original and in translat ons have been read at the joint sessions, while during the recesses they have been respec- lively dgested and responses formulated to them rendered into both English and Span- ish for the next joint session.
 The Cuban Debt
 The Spanish it is believed, have asked to have the Cuban debt assumed by the United State urging that the debt should pass with the sovereignty The debt pre- sented for American assumption covers the expenses of the ten years insurrection, the recent insurrecton and the war with the United States as far as SpainS outlay Tn the war can be classified against Cuba.
 The Americans probably have replied that if indeed. any part of the so-called Cuban debt is allowable, the part incurred in sup pressing instructions or in the war with the United States is not allowable. ie f
 The Spanish will doubtless urge equities in cfn ol-c liar hntta buildings and perhaps war material.iI It is possible that this contention will receive consideration on the basis of equities be- tween mortgager and mortgagee.
 Thus far no disposition has been devel- oped on either side to delay the ultimate conclusions and the end of the work in hand. The American commissioners are anxious to conclude as soon as possible and on recess days they are devoting from three to five hours to scussons and details
 The adjournment yesterday (Tuesday) was to Friday. W .54 f
 Both commissions have accepted an inyit tation to reception to be given by the Figaro this Wednesday, afternoon.

 Presbyterian Church

Rev. E. B. Hendrick of Brownwood, Tex, coritinued the revival services at the Cum berland Presbyterian church yesterday aft ernoon and night before congregations that are increasing constantly in numbers and enthusiasm.

LYCEUM OPENS.
Dr. Mcintyre Delivers Powerful Lee
 ture.

The Birmingham Lyceum opened last evening with an eloquent lecture by Dr. Robert Mcintyre of Chicago.
 The success of the season is assured, as the sale. of season tickets has been all that was hoped, and Seals hall was taxed to its full seating capacity by the cultured audi ence in attendance last night Much praise is due Secretary H. K. White for his earnest efforts in behalf of the Lyceum, and if all his entertainments are up to the standard of the opening lecture the season will be brilliant, indeed. But this can barely be hoped. It is doubtful If Dr. Mc1n- tyres equal is on the lecture platform to- day. r pr. MoIntyre's subject for last night was the "Caverns of the Wyandotte," and his beautiful descriptions of the scenes in the wonderful cavern are beyond compare. There was not moment during the lecture but that the lecturer had the perfect att tention of his audience, and when he reached the climax of his beautiful and elo- quent description the audience would follow him with breathess attention.
 pr. Mcintyre was very complimentary to Birmingham, when, after the lecture, he re- E marked that he had never lectured to a finer audience nor on which would inspire "a speaker more. He leaves this morning for Columbus, Ga., where he has an en- gagement tonight.
