NOVEL CASE.
Merchant Gives Orders for His Stock to
 be Sold at Any Price.

The police had a novel case to deal with last night. Captain Weir, on his regular rounds, found about midnight that there was steady stream of people going in and out of tho Sloss Pharmacy in Twentieth street. between Second and Third avenues, and all of them were loaded down with drugs and novelties of all kinds, which they had bought at such ridiculously low prices that the sales seemed almost farce. Hand- some looking glasses, vases and other kinds of novelties found in drug store were bought, many of them, for and 10 cents.
 The clerk in charge of the store said that Baxter Sloss, the proprietor, had given or ders to his two clerks to sell out the stock in the store for anything they could get for it, and then he had gone to sleep in the back room. Although the sale was almost a robbery, the police, under the circum- stances, were powerless to prevent It, as Mir Sloss is the sole proprietor of the store, and if he cared to sell out his stock it was none of their business
 The clerkS QlQ IUtlT DuoluSSo WSii. ~ '" eS strange where so many purchasers came from at that hour of the night. All or them were men, and the strangest part of it was that they went for the perfumes, the looking glasses, vases and other similar ar tcles. The sale kept up until about o'clock this morning, and at that hour nearly everything in the store was gone except the drugs and patent medicines. It was a clean haul. About this hour MT. Sloss. hearing the noise, woke up and came into the store. He seemed to have regret ted his hasty orders to sell out at any price, for he ran out all of his would-be customers and closed the store up.

THEY'RE OFF TO
 THE LEGISLATURE Jefferson County's Representa- t lives Depart ALL SHADES OF POLITICIANS One Member Took Down a Banjo to While Away the Dull Hours of
 the Long Sixty Days.
 Session.
ALL SHADES OF POLITICIANS

| There were any number of politicians down at the depot yesterday afternoon going to Montgomery to be present at the opening of the legislature this morning. There were all kinds of politicians down there, from the representative of one of the North Alabama counties who, dreading the monotony of the legislatures sitting during the sixty days session, was taking his banjo along just to keep things livened up, to several of Alabamas dignified repre- sentatives to the national legislature. The legislators nearly all of them said that they were going down to represent their people to the best of their ability. The wire pullers who constituted a large ma
 jority of the crowd, all had business of
 purely non-politicaI character which was
 taking them to the capital city. A few of
 them like Colonel J. J. Altman, said that
 they didn't know what they were going for. Just to look on and see what the boys were doing,'' he supposed
 Oscar w. Underwood, of the Ninth dis
 trict, John H. Bankhead, of the Sixth, and John L. Burnett of the Seventh, were the
 congressman who went down. MT. Under woods intention was to stay only few
 minutes in Montgomery and start north
 
 will spend the week before congress opens. MT. Bankhead and Mr., Burnett will remain several days longer in Montgomery.
 Among those who went down on non- political business were Ross c. Smith, to attend a meeting of the railroad commits sion R. H. Fies and H. R. Dill, to attend the supreme court; Major F. Y. Anderson, "just to be going" J. J. Willett, of Annis- ton; J. J. Altman, Captain R. F. Kolb, Dr. George A. Morrow, B. A. Thompson, Wal ter Moore, Dr. J. H. Gillespy and others. J. H. Montgomery admitted that he was going down to work for the school bill. Dan A. Greene, H. P. Hefiin John w. Tomlinson, c. W. Ferguson, R. P. Wet more and all the other candidates had gone down Sunday afternoon and at o'clock yesterday morning. Jefferson's six repre- sentatives have all gone, the last of them
 leaving yesterday afternoon.

The SO1eiorsnip Caucus
 It is believed that the democratic joint caucus for the nomination of candidates for solicitor will be held not later than Thurs day night of this week. Six years ago the caucus met on Friday night of the first week of the session, but there is apparent a disposition to hasten the matter in order that it may be finally disposed of. Practi- cally no public business can be transacted until solicitors shall have been chosen. this latter fact has served to develop sentiment here in favor of electing soliei- tors by the direct vote of the people, just as judges are now elected. The pressure upon senators and members is eXtraor- dinary. No one who has a seat in either house can have any peace of mind until the joint session shall have agreed to those who shall be the prosecuting attor. neys for the state for the coming six years. Seventeen soicitorships are to be filled, and for twelve of these there are very heated contests and perhaps fifty candidatse all told, possibly even a greater number. And in these contests bitter feelings some- times engendered that might be avoided.
 The Eleventh Circuit
 By the way, the contest for solicitor of the Eleventh circuit is further simplified tonight by the withdrawal of Orme, one of the three remaining candidates; Represent ative Davis, of Marion, having withdrawn several days ago. as announced by The Age Herald. The candidates now are Saw teile, the present. duu WSSQOn, OL LalIderdale.
 Old Familiar Scenes
 In the hotel Hobbies tonight, particularly in the Exchange and at Fleming's, the old familiar scenes-familiar here for nearly thirty years--are being enacted. At the Ex- change 1t is at times almost impossible at times to move about. There are the old familiar faces, hundreds of them, and many faces that are new, just starting out on careers that may be brilliant or may be utter failure. These new faces of hope are in striking contrast to those who have only large store of experience and little to hope for in the few short days left to them.
 The buttonholing. the cajolery, the plead- ing goes on, and many heart grows sick whilst many a brain grows weary. Throb- bing, pulsatng, full of life and mingled faith and unfaith, this picture of the strug- ging mass here in the old state capital is immensely human. supremely interesting. A Famous Trio
 President E. L.. Russell, of the Mobile and Ohio railroad;-is here. the center of an overwhelming circle of admirers, the life of every crowd, the. hope of half hundred who desire political or business positions. He was formerly a member of the house from Mobile, but he is something more than that now.
 Congressman Stallings is conspicuous

Proposed Meat Inspection

Hamburg November 14-The Ham burger Nachrichten, referring to the pro- jected meat inspection bill says:
 "The Americans ought to be glad that Germany forces them gradually to adopt her own methods of meat inspection. Hitherto American inspection has been un- trustworthy. So far as the threat of American isolation is concerned, America may be able to improve the presence of poisons in German wines, woolens, toys and chemicals, as Germany proves the presence of trichnica in American pork.

Ward & VolSes

Those unctious fellows Ward and Vokes, have once more surrounded themselves with a merry band of funmalSers, some thirty strong and emerged from their fun factory to present to the toisome world their resting and satisfying entertainment, .The Governors and it is the pleasant announcement that this organization will be seen at the opera house Friday night. Certainly there is no company en tour which presents a faster fusilade of fun. songs, dances, music.prettily gowned young women and up-to-date wit than this one. To use the language of Allen Dale, the critic of the New. York Journal, T saw in 'The Governors in two hours and a half as much as it would have taken me two and half weeks to have seen by tour of Roster & Biaps, Weber 6 Fields, Proctors and the Olympia" The fun is handsomely framed with special scenery and intro- duced by a lavishly costumed band of clever people.
 The verdict pronounced everywhere this season on Lewis Morrison's wonderful pro- auction of Faust is "the greatest ever seen" This tour, which is his last, in this well-slown play, has been one complete ovation, and the audiences which have as- wembled to bid him farewell have, so far, tested the capacity of the theaters in which he has played

West, First Company

The chief interest of that large body of the theater-going public that has regretted the recent degenarcy of minstrelsy, cen ters this season around the appearance here on Thursday night of William II. Vests big minstrel jubilee, an organiza- tion that it is promised, will dwarf into nothingness all previous efforts in this popular form of amusement. The forma- tion of this large and costly company, equipped as it is with scenic and orchestral aid and paraphernalia of an elaboration never before dreamed of in connection with minstrelsy, is said to have aroused no little consternation among those who have for years been content to follow the beaten track MT. West has long held to the opin- ion that if the public was not soon given something novel in this line, something completely out of the rut in which min stelrsy has for years been satisfied to jog along, it would ultimately foswear min strelsy altogether.

~THE PLAY@

Hoyt had made but one mistake when he wiped his pen and declared the manuscript of "A Milk White Fag'' complete. Perhaps Hoyt does not recognize his grievous error until this day. Then it may be that none, but a few "chappies" and "Johnnies," as some portions of the male tribe are known, ever dare find fault with him. These ad- mirers of rollicking comedy will all agree that Hoyt should have introduced the part of the orphan in the first act. It is proba- ble that after this those who would have the temerity to ask that two additional acts be added so that more could be seen of charming Mary Marble would not be a few. But then no one is ever sorry they have seen her and her delightfully."- broad mouth even for such a short while. Even a glimpse of anything so dainty if it comes by fiashlight is better than not to have seen at all Then we will forgive all, even to Marbles mouth with the corners so far apart. Marble can't help that. and no one would have it abbreviated if they could. No one would have her one whit bigger; no one would have her kick one bit higher and no one would have her smile one lick "she's all right"

The fun revolves around a lot of good feuaVs who form military regiliient which alh humor to do anything but real fighting. To emphasize the absurdity a gruff old general who is fond of Indian fighting is a visitor to the armory of the regiment, which is nothing more than a social club. The regiment has a rival or ganization which is to have funeral The Ransom guards must not be outdone. The complications of one of it's members brought about by speculation serves it's; purpose. This member is an undertaken and he has friend who wishes to die or to appear dead to get his life insurance. The preparations for the burial of a live corpse introduce plenty of merriment and. bring in a lot of pretty girls.
 The characters are all capably taken. especially that of Aurora Luce, which Is handled by Miss Marie Dantes. John w. Ounce, L. J. Loring and the entire com- pany are good. The Grayson sisters, in their dacing skit, introduce the best spec ialty of the performance.
