~THE PLAY~

Guy Woodward's popularity was thor oughly demonstrated last night when the curtain at O'Brien's rolled up on the picturesque and interesting military drama, "The Paymaster." Every seat was occu- pied and every inch of available standing room space taken.
 The play, sterling military drama, pre- scented with special scenery and striking effects by the very strongest supporting company ever seen here at popular prices. Without doubt the Woodward Warren company this season is without peer. compared with other travelling popular price companies, for each and every one is favorably recognized by all not only is it the strongest but the largest.
 The production of "The Paymaster'' last night was superbly presented and thor oughly enjoyed, as was evidenced by the almost continuous applause that prevailed.
 The vaudeville features are alone suffi- cient for an evenings entertaipment and are far superior to those usually found with popular price combinations. Dericke and Holt, musical artists, Jeanette Lewis. in songs made popular by the late Joe Emmett, Little Carrie Cordella and the illustrated songs of Bert Gideray caught the immense audience present
 As for MT. Woodward, he was seen in the legitimate role of ''The Paymaster" to the very best advantage, while Miss Bessie Warren was also very enthusiastically re- ceived.
 MT Woodward is carrying special scenery for every play, and from this standpoint as all others, he is fully equip ped for catering to a refined public. At matinee today Little Lord Fountleroy," one of the prettiest juvenile comedies ever written, will be presented, and tonight "The Other Girl"

of Sheriff Lister, 1t being his intention to transfer the negro to the southbound train at Fort Payne and bring him to this city. | Morgan's friends got wind of the turn .affairs had taken and soon 0adsden re- stunned her usual quiet, peaceful condition. The mob was not to be frustrated, now ever. and 1t was soon whispered that an at- ,ternpt would be made to take Lawrence from the southbound train at Steels Sta- tton or Attalla. This information was com- municated to Sheriff Lister at Fort Payne and by another strategic move he again succeeded in outwitting the woulo-pe lynchers.
 After leaving Fort Payne the prisoner was locked in one of the toilets with deputy and when Attalla was reaeheo several men who were supposed 10 repre- sent the mob, boarded the train ano' see ing nothing of the negro, evidently thought that he had been left in Fort Payne, ana got off.
 The negro was brought on to biriiihs ham in charge of Sheriff Lister and Depu- ties Burns and Morange, and taken to the county jail where he will be held to await trial.

was arrested and placed in the Etowah county jail at Gadsden.
 The news of. the shooting spread rapidly and soon there was talk of lynching. Sheriff Lister at once begun preparations for removing the negro to some other county number of deputies were sworn in and put on duty During the day friends and neighbors of Morgan began to arrive in town and by o'clock in the afternoon fully 300 strangers were on the streets and open talks of lynching were jndulged In.
 Judge Bilbro and Judge Disque were called into consultation by Sheriff Lister, and 1t was decided to bring Lawrence to Birmingham. The jail guard was augment ed by detachment from the local military company and at 5:15 o'clock while the crowd. who was without leader, were conferring together the sheriff and guards with the negro in charge made rush for the dummy, and were quickly taken to Attalla, where the negro was placed upon the northbound Alabama Great Southern train and taken to Fort Payne
 This was strategic move on the part

treet in Manila


 Are we to be weak like Japan? Can we contemplate for an instant the interference of any power that shall abridge the ma jesties and glory laid at our feet by the incomparable Dewey? I say never. There fore you may quote me just as strongly as you can as saying: Build more battleships, and after that more cruisers, and battle ships again. The men will step forward as fast as We can build the ships.
 Suppose that Dewey had been defeated at Manila? What might have been the fate of the Hawaiian islands and our Pacific coast from Behring Strait to San Diego? The Asiatic squadron is one that deeply concerns us. If we are outwitted there, we must at once prepare for a defense of our western coast line from the same ag- gressions that have humbled the oldest em- pire on earth in the eyes of modern civili- zation."
 What do you think of the cordial rela- tions between this country and Great Britan?'
 "They are timely and welcome. The aversion of generations has passed away"
 twill the Cubans govern themselves?
 'I hope so. We have made them free from the yoke of Spain. and their destiny Is before them."
