THOSE who enjoy an evening of
hilarious fun should not forget "His
Better Half" the new English farci-
cal comedy that will be at the Opera
House on Wednesday, Nov. 9th. 1t
made tremendous hit in England,
and its production here will be by
the same strong company that will
give New York its first hearing of
the piece. 1t is a quick, bright
comedy, broadly farcical and full OF
dash and 90, yet never overstepping
the bounds nor trying to raise a
laugh by coarse methods The story
is clean and wholesome, the plot in
geniously complicated, the lines
witty, and the numerous and varied
entanglements the source of as much
amusement to the onlookers as they
are distress to the participants

ANNUAL FIELD DAY
or the Amateur Athletic Union in New Orleans
 on May g.

The annual field day of the amateur athletic union of the United States will be held in New Orleans on May g. The Bir- mingham Athletic club will be represented by a crack team of track and field men, and every effort will be made to carry on a goodly share of the prizes. Birmingham has heretofore been very successful in the contests in New Orleans, but this year the circumstances will be little different. Athletes from all over the United States will be present and Birmingham will be in pretty fast company. But the boys will work hard. and as soon as the weather moderates a little outdoor work at the fair grounds and in the tennis courts will be commenced.
 This is the first meet of the union ever held outside of New York. and for this erason it Is attracting considerable atten- ton. Not only will all the big American athletes be there, but it is very probable that the all-Australian track team, which will be on its way to England at that time. can be induced to stop over and enter tho contests at New Orleans.

STATE SOLON'S WISE ACT Made Reduction in the Price of
 Marriage License. GOES INTO EFFECT TODAY Can Now Be Had for Sl50, a Reduction of Twenty-Five Per Cent From
 Former Rates.

The wise legislators who constituted the membership of the last general assembly were not advocates of the much mooted proposition that marriage is a failure" |" notwithstanding the fact that several old bachelors were among their numbers.
 They enacted into law a measure which stands a substantial indorsement of the matrimonial state.
 One of the most interesting changes that is made in the law which goes into effect today is the reduction in the price of mar riage license.
 This necessary evidence of good faith can now be secured for the small sum of $1.50, where 1t formerly required g to pur- chase the self-same. article.
 This inducement on the part of the law makers, it is thought, will result in an in- creased activity in the marriage market. It is decidedly the most bullish news that has been received in many a day, and the outlook is favorable to a big rush.
 The probate office anticipates a rush of business in this department, and while the fee is reduced it is safe to say that the office will come out winner in the long run.
 Only a few aspirants of dual honors'' have applied during the past few days, and are evidently waiting for the bargain sale which begins today.

Ho comes with the same old Fiddle and the Bow" but he will play many new tunes upon it, for although under the same old title, the lecture is made up of the best from all his old lectures, and many entirely new things.

make 1t appear that the cause of Birming- hams not getting the state convention was the act of MT R. P. Wetmore in not calling for a division of the vote. It was not that, but 1t was that some of the Bir- mingham delegation had promises from members and they wanted these members to define themselves on an aye and no vote.
 In giving his reasons why he did not cal for a division MT. Wetmore said last night;
 Tn your report of the meeting or the democratic executive committee at Mont gomery Tuesday you did me an injustice. I did not call for a division on the substi- tute offered by me to name Birmingham as the place for the state convention Tor the reason that only three members Of the committee voted for Birmingham, ana about eight or ten voted for Montgomery. I did not care to show by a division how badly beaten we were. I have been told since that time that eight or more members were committed to Birmingham. Had l known this I would certainly have called for a division and put them on record. AS it was, knew nothing of this, and hearing only three votes for Birmingham, and not wishing to show how badly defeated we were, purposely failed to call for d. vision. The trouble was that the com mitted' members failed to vote, and l did not know that they were Committed and for that reason did not call for division

AITOwAY DISCHARGED.
Was Arraignei Yesterday for Passing COunter-
 felt Money.

w. M. Attoway was arraigned yesterday afternoon. before United States Commits sioner R. A. Mosely on the charge of pass ing counterfeit money. Chris Stattakus, @ Greek youth of about 16 years, claimed that on Sunday, the 9th instant, Attoway had made a small purchase at the Iruit stand on Second avenue and Nineteenth street and presented. a counterfeit gold piece and obtained the change in good United States coin.
 Some time afterward St attakus discov- cred that he had been swindled, and com- plained to a police officer. The officer told the Greek to keep lookout for the man and have him arrested Yesterday Atto- way passed the stand and Stattakus con ceived the idea that he was the man, and accordingly had him arrested.
 Yesterday when the case came up pe- fore Commissioner Moseley Attoway had evidently notified his friends, for they were there in full force. Numerous wit nesses testified to seeing Attoway on the

ROYAL CROWNS
To Be Worn by Rex Vulcan Ill., and His
 Queen.

The royal crowns of Rex Vulcan IT., and his queen were placed on exhibition in G1uck's jewe,ry store yesterday
 The regal treasures are of beautiful de- sign and of rare workmanship. Both are set with innumerable jewels. abd of dazzling brflliancy They both conform to the time honored conception of crowns, and were designed by Grand Marshal Mo Crossin of the Carnival society. The best jewellers in Maiden Lane, New York city, have been working on the crown jewels for some time past and right well have they exercised their skill.
 Who are the weares of these royal em- blems is the only problem now unsolved The public has long ceased to riddle over the identity of Rex. Some say he is the gayest of bachelors, and others that he is the most quiet of married men.
 But clue was gained yesterday as to the personal appearance of Rex's royal bride. From the color and arrangement of the jewels in her crown, it could be readily seen that it was intended neither for a pronounced blonde or a pronounced bru- nette This may serve as valuable aid to those who care to guess the rest.

SERIOUS WRECK
On the Southern at Brookside- Crew Slightly
 Injured.

serious wreck occurred on the South ern railroad at Brookside last night, where a freight train jumped the track ran into the depot and almost demolished that structure Nobody was seriously hurt.
 The news of the wreck reached the city late last night and the details of the acci- dent were meagre. The facts could be learned were follows:
 A freight train, consisting of the engine and eight empty coal cars, was running in- to Brookside at a pretty good rate of speed. The engine was backing, but was at the head of the train. Just before ar irving at the station the engine hit a switch which proved defective causing the engine to jump the tracks and head stra 'ght for the depot.
 The engineer put on breaks, causing a small check in the speed. but as the cars behind began to pile upon him he opened the engine up a little and jumped for his life.
 On and on the whole train went, straight into the depot The engine hit one corner and cut it off entirely. The first of the cars took slightly different direction and pushed itself right on through the freight room. The other cars piled themselves at random across the tracks and around the building in great, unsightly mass.
 As stated above, nobody was seriously hurt The engineer sprained his knee by jumping, but was unhurt otherwise. The fireman was not so fortunate. He did not jump and was caught between the engine and the tender and was considerably mashed.
 The front brakeman of the train was also badly bruised, but not seriously.
 The wrecking train was quickly sent out from Birmingham and the wreck was cleared in remarkably short time. The track and station are situated on the top of a seventy-five foot embankment, and at the foot runs a pretty little brook. The huge wrecking machine picked up the fragments of the cars with a wonderful case and hurled them down the embank- ment into the stream below.
 The regular passenger train from Colum- bus, due here at $40 p. m., was delayed several hours, arriving here about mid night.

LAST ATTRACTION
Of the Lyceum, Dr.. Emil G. Hrsch, of Chi
 cago.

The eleventh and last lecture of the Ly- famous rabbi, Dr. Emil G. Hirsch, of Chi cago. Dr. Hirsch has charge of Sinai con gregation, Chicago, and is also editor of the Reform Advocate, the leading exponent of Jewish thought in America He is man of great force and brlliancy both as an orator and a writer, and his wit and fiu- ency have caused him to be called "the Chauncey Depew of the west"
 Dr. Hirsch lectured to an immense audi ence in "The Tabernacle'' at Nashville Tuesday night. Gov. Bob Taylor in intro ducing him. said: "In the broad field of literature there is neither Jew nor Gentile We have with of the worlds great est thinkers, who will speak to us in one of the worlds greatest schools, the Ly- ceum platform" Dr. Hirsch spoke in Nash vile on "'rhe Dying Century" and the Nashville American gave yesterday very eulogstic review of the lecture.
 The admission to non-members of the Lyceum is D cents and seats can be re served at Seals store today From the reservation of seats made yesterday, 1t appears that the hall will not be large enough to hold all who will wish to hear pr. Hirsch.
 A subscription list for the reorganization of the Lyceum for next season is on the desk at Seals store, where the seats are reserved, and already more than one hun dred have signed 1t. It is desired to get 25O members. and then the list will be closed, as 250 members, having two admis- sions each, will make audience of 800, and this number will fill Seals hall, which will be obtained for the next Lyceum course If 250 members are obtained no outside admissions can be sold to the dif- ferent lectures. as has been done this sea- son, because there will be no extra seats the hall containing only 512 chairs.

IRON MASTERS
 FAILED TO AGREE At an Adjourned Meeting Which Has
 Held Yesterday. WERE IN SESSION ALL DAY The Smaller Furnaces Refused to Enter
 Into an Agreement. AFRAID OF GETTING WORST OF IT An Effort Will Be Made to Hold Another Meet ing at an Early Date-The Meeting
 Was Held Behind Closed
 Doors.

An adjourned meeting of the iron mak- CTS of the south was held in this city yes terday and resulted in failure to reach any agreement.
 The smaller furnaces said to have been the antagonistic faction and f1atly refused to go into any deal to establish combination of prices, claiming that the big fellows would get the best of the bar gain. .. .. .t s5sz...-

 Very little is known of the meeting yes terday as outsiders were not admitted and even after the meeting was over the members were very reticent about talking
 Prolonged and Interesting.
 That the meeting was prolonged and interesting one is evidenced by the fact that they were in session all day, and at night until 10 o'clock.
 There were about twelve present at the day sessions, but only six or eight at the night meeting, the theater and wedding having kept several of them away.
 One of the members said that they had talked all day about what they would like to do," but had done nothing.
 It was iedTHeu OH lHe DeSt duthoiby that the effort to come to an agreement in establishing uniform rate for iron and in raising the price if possible was de- feated by the owners of the smaller fur naces, on the grounds that they would get litle, if any, benefit from such an agreement, while the big operators would get all. They claim that the big furnaces account of their large output can se- cure a steady trade and one which would not be handicapped by the want of an unlimited supply. So that if a uniform rate for all furnaces was established, the big furnaces would have the advantage.
 On the other hand by small cut in the rates they can secure business which would under the rate system be impossi- ble

 After hearing all the evidence in the case, Commissioner Mosely discharged the defendant.
 There was some talk of having Statta- kus arrested for perjury. but this was not done.
