HOMELY PROVERBS

From the Academy. Suspicion has key that fits every lock. Don't pull the house down because the chimney smokes.
 If you give me knife, give me fork. too.
 Give me to drink, but drench me not. A hole in the purse, and the cupboard the worse.
 The fuller the hand, the harder to hold. Stroke the dog, but beware of his bite. Heap on the coals, and put out the fire. The fool kept the shell and threw away the kernel.
 One cock is sure to crow if he hears an- other.
 In comes the fiddler and out goes the money.
 The shorter the wit the longer the word. Saw off any branch but that you are sit- ting on.
 My partner ate the meat and left me the bone.
 If you break your bowl you lose your broth. 4 n Don't wait till it is dark before you light the lamp.
 Every bell must ring in its own tone. If you shoot one bird you scare the whole flock.
 Beware of pride, says the peacock. You must shut your eyes if the dust blows in your face.

notic influence of Svengali she uses her eyes with telling effect.
 MT. Brophy was an ideal Svengali, and his acting was fully 2" good as that of Wilton Lackaye who was seen in the part here some years ago. His makeup was excellent, and in every way he was Sven gali with all the anomalous traits that Du Maurier intended his wierd creation to pos- sess.
 The other parts were all exceptionally well taken. and there was not a single character that was not rendered in thor oughly f1rst-class style.
 The third act, the scene in the foyer of the theater on the night when the three musketeers of the brush once more met in Paris-the night when Trilby is to sing was particularly fine. It is in this act that Ben Bolt" is sung. Concealed in the wings, Mrs. Sam Burbank sang that beau tiful old ballad in a manner that called forth great applause.
 The fourth, and last act, in which Frilby succumbs to the influence of Svengali, even after he is dead was also good.

A. (. s. WILL PUT
 ON DINING CARS
Which Will Give Serv'ce from New Orleans to Washington,
WILL HAVE FASTER SCHEDULE
Heretofore It Has Been Necessary to Make Three Stops of Twenty Min utes Each for Meals-This
 Time Will be Saved

Next Sunday the Alabama Great Southern railroad will inaugurate a fea- ture of modern railroad travel which has for some years been very popular in many parts of the country, but which has never been used as regular thing on any of the railroads in this state-a dining car and observation car service between Att talla in this state, and Roanoke Va.
 A dining and observation car will be at- tached to the through northbound train which leaves Birmingham at 5:55 every morning, at Attalla and will run on through to Roanoke. This will enable the passengers to get all meals between Bir- mingham and Washington, or rather be- tween New Orleans and Washington, on the train. Meals will be served a la carte, which 1t Is thought, will be much more popular than the table d'hote service that is used so extensively in dining cars. These cars will of course be on all of the through south bound trains, arriving in Birmingham about 10 o'clock at night.
 Heretofore 1t has been necessary to make three stops of twenty minutes each between Birmingham and Washington for meals, but now these stops will be cut QOWA lO d loW minutes ana n6dTly an hour saved in the running time.
 A Faster Schedule
 Not only will the Alabama Great Southern inaugurate this dining car ser vice, but new schedule will be put into effect Sunday with view to cutting down the running time between Birmingham and Cincinnati and Birmingham and Wash ington.
 No. 9, the through north bound train, will make almost. it's usual run between New Orleans and Birmingham, only that it arrives in this city at 5:45 in the morn ing, five minutes earlier than at present.
 It leaves at the same old time, 5:55, but it makes the run between this city and Chattanooga in ten minutes less time than formerly. The stop of twenty minutes which is now the custom, has been cut down and the train to Cincinnati will leave at 9:45 instead of 10 o'clock It is not known yet whether any faster time will be made on the Cincinnati Southern, but it is thought that effort will be made to run the rain into the Queen City at p. m. the day it leaves Birmbingham, instead of 7.30 Neither is it known just what time will be made on the trains between Chat tanooga and Washington, but it is thought that the running time will be reduced something like an hour.
 No. 1, the through southbound train, will arrive in Birmingham at 10:05 and leave at 10:15 D. m. as at present.
 No. 8, the southbound local, will arrive from Chattanooga at 11:30 a. m. as at present, and leave for Meridian in the af- ternoon at 4:30 instead of 4:15.
 No. 4, the northbound local, will arrive at 12:10 D. m. and depart at 4:15 in the afternoon, as at present.

-----~-~~-~~~-~~~-~---~-~ describing the shipwreck of Hamburg was we'll received In this scene, too, Miss Sherrod sang and danced in the company of the German professor, and the people were so well pleased that she was recalled. Miss Fallon and MT. Thatcher were also recalled. Perhaps the most inspiring feature of this scene was the excellent and modest acting, as we'll as singing, of the chief players.
 The second scene was also located on the island, where the isolated castaways were surrounded by cannibals and much mag nifcence. They greatly enjoyed themselves The mirror dance before the king was ad- mrable in every respect and a succession of advertisements followed it. The round- up was very happy. The island became Americanized, "Dixie" becoming It's na- tional song. Leander and Edythe, faithful to the last, are made douby happy by the unexpected arrival at the happiest moment of Edythe's father.
 The opera house was not hot, thorough ventilation rendering it very comfortable. Many features of the entertainment are necessarily omitted in this account, such as Miss Ehrman's beautiful statue dance, the fun-making of the Cannibal, and the excellent acting of Comedian Smith as a German musician.

HoLLER CALLED DOWN
For Denunciations and Criticisms of the
 President

Washington, June 6.-Accordng to a pri- vate letter received here from Munich, a German-American journalist, MT. Lcuis Holler, editor of the Camden Csanty Jour nal on the occasion of a lecture delivered by him in the hall of the radical German Union Odin, at the Bavarian capital, on the German Americans, their life and work etc, most bitterly criticised the present American president.
 His remarks became at last violent as to cause the interference of the superinten- dent, who declared that he would not tol- crate any attack on the head of a nation with which Germany entertained such friendly relations as with the United States The number of Americans present promptly expressed their appreciation of this mani festation both of friendship and good will shown.

Kansas City, June 6.-It was consistently rumored today that a coal combine or trust of all of the chief mine owners in Missouri and Kansas had been formed to control the entire output of these two states. The capital stock of the trust. is said to be $1O, 900. MT. Keith, of the Central coal and coke companies, says:
 No trust could be formed without the consent of the railroads and they would not enter into an agreement that raised the price of coal, their chief expense ac- count The railroads might come in on tonnage but never on anything that in- creased the price,"
