The rec ords of the best of the standard high class attractions are beaten by them, and their immense audiences are made up of wealth, refinement, intelligence and fashion On their second or third visit this sort of thing might be expected, but somehow they get to the public right away and the delight and novelty of the performance sends good news ahead of them and guarantees great big audiences everywhere. Their appear ance here at matinee and tonight is looked forward to by lovers of what's new and best in refined entertainment. George Will son is with them and will walzt us again. George can pack any theater all by himself and O nthis occasion O Brien's opera house will probably have a large audience.

RAILROADS DOING
 HEAVY BUSINESS Sc@city of Cars Retarding Trans portation of Freight. GAR TRACERS ARE ABROAD Hunting Up Rolling Stock That Has Strayed Away-Passenger Busi-
 ness Also Good Five New
 Engines Put Into Service
CAR TRACERS ARE ABROAD

Business with the railroads in this dis trict continues heavy, and everything is on the increase in all departments There has never been a time in the history of Bir- mingham when the railroads were as heavily engaged as they are at present. Then again, cars are scarce, all over the southern country and it keeps officials and transportation departments on the run to keep up with the daily demand for some thing to put freight in. In fact, the roads are glad to get anything in the shape of a car just so it has wheels under it that will roll. Only yesterday an order for shipment of 1.5C0 tons of pig iron placed and the road contracting for the business had to borrow cars from a connecting line in which to load it.
 Not only is business heavy in the freight department but the same Is true in the passenger department.
 Car Tracers Rushed
 In these times when cars are scarce car hunters are on the run and there have been a number of them in Birmingham lately trying to locate rolling stock that has sbrayed away. In fact there have been more of them here lately than for some time past, for it is generally known that Inc roads in this district are holding to everything they can get their hands on.
 l.. X Ms New Engines
 Five of the new engines recently ordered by the Louisville and Nashville railroad have already been pressed into service, and four more are being broken in. These new engines were ordered a short time ago, not to replace old machinery, but for use in handling increased business.

GROCERS WANT
 LAWS ENFORCED Request That Fruit and Cigar Stands be Closed on Sunday. POLICEMAN REPRlMANDE0 The Board of Police Commissioners Hold an Interesting Meeting-Win
 Ask for Fifteen Extra Men
 During State Fair
POLICEMAN REPRIMANDED

At meeting of the police commission last night a communication was received from the Retail Merchants association re- questing that all fruit stands, cigar stands and tobacco stores be closed on Sunday. The merchants claim that there has been a discrimination by the police in allowing some business houses to remain open on Sunday in violation of both the city and state laws.
 The communication. which was signed by the committee, reads as follows:
 "To the Honorable Board of Police Com
 missioners:
 "Gentlemen:-We, a committee duly ap- pointed by the Retail Grocers' association of Birmingham and vicinity, whose names are attached, do earnestly request a peti- tion in honor of the board which is vested with police authority of this city to cause this to be enforced.
 ''The state and city have reference to shop keepers, grocery stores, fruit stands, tobacco and cigar stands doing business on Sunday. Doing this all the merchants of the city may be put on the same footing and the law apply to all alike. We believe that this request is reasonable and proper and will conserve the best interest of all.
 Several members of the board confessed ignorance of the law and it was unani- mously decided that the matter be laid aside until the next regular meeting, which will allow them time to. investigate.
 Policeman on Trial
 Officers Scharber and McDaniels were tried on charge of drinking on duty and Officer Manasco was arraigned for having gone into saloon in full uniform not in discharge of his duty. Each of the men were found guilty and reprimanded by the board. They were ordered to report to the chief at roll call when they will receive another reprimand.
 The board refused to sign the contract with the Pettibone Manufacturing company for winter uniforms until one section is changed. This paragraph refers to gar ments not fitting. In such cases they can not be returned without the consent of the maker. Otherwise the contract was entire ly satisfactory.
 Extra Officers for the Fair
 After this the commission went into exeu- tive session to make a verdict in the trials of the three officers and to consider the question of putting on an extra patrolman during the State Fair.
 The executive session lasted an hour and it is said the question of asking the board of aldermen for extra patrolmen brought out a warm discussion. It was finally de- cided that the commission's request that fifteen extra officers be allowed to patrol the city during the fair and that the men selected by the fair association to work in side the grounds be accepted and sworn in, provide dthey were men of good charac- ter The fair association will pay their men while the salaries of the fifteen extra patrolmen will be paid out of the city treasury, in case the board of aldermen grant the request.
