A FRAUD IN RUBBER
TIRES FOR VEHICLES

1t has come to the ears of the manage
ment of the Birmingham Rubber Tire
Wheel company that certain persons inter-
ested have said that the tire now
being put by the above named
company was not the Original Spring
Filed Tire, also known as the
Rubber Tire Wheel Companys Tire;
and, further, that the Birmingham Rubber
Tire Wheel company employed inexperi-
enced labor in putting them on. Now,
therefore, in order to set the minds of those
who have had, and are contemplation put
ting rubber tires on their vehicles, the Blr-
mingham Rubber Tire Wheel company de-
sires to state that all reports of this kind
are false in every respect and that they are
made maliciously and with intent to deter
and turn those away who desire to patron
ize home industry, in which there has been
invested several thousand dollars. %
The Birmingham Rubber IRE Wheel COM
pany have the services of an expert who
understands the putting on of their tires
thoroughly. Tney have in their factory at
No. 40S Twentieth street some of the finest
electrical machinery especially built for the

man was removed to his home where the
wound was dressed, and will soon be able

~THE PLAYS

| There are comedies and comedies, and a
deluge of them have been here, but "a
Bachelors Honeymoon" comes nearer be-
ing the real article than anything offered
this season.
To those who saw last nights perform
ance at O'Briens nothing need be said;
they were pleasantly surprised and spent
a thoroughly enjoyable evening. To those
who were absent 1t can be said that they
missed a gilt edged treat and one that is
rarely offered victims of one night stands.
The play has an excellent plot, the story
is pretty the lines are bright, the situations
as funny as they are ridiculous and above
all it is superbly interpreted and presented
by coterie of exceedingly clever and ar
tistic performers. The characters are fine
ly drawn, and each performer seems SO
peculiarly fitted to his or her part that one
almost imagines real things taking place
before his eyes.
Mr. Walter Walker and Miss Annie
Dacre. two very clever performers, assume
the leading roles and furnish the audience
with numberless clever hits, while more
perfect German character can hardly be
imagined than that of DR.. Ludwig Schwartz
interpreted so admirably by Emil Hoch.
The other members of the cast are also
in keeping with the leading ones. IA
Bachelors Honeymoon" is excellent and
they give matinee this afternoon and a
performance tonight
