 Decide Contest. IDENTITY TO REMAIN SECRET I One of Most Prominent Men in Alabama His Queen One of Birmingham
 Fairest Daughters Meeting
 Carnival Society Tonight.
IDENTITY TO REMAIN SECRET I

The selection of Rex Vulcan ", king of the carnival of 1899, was made last night at a meeting of the committee designs of the Carnival society, held in the rooms of the Commercial club after an exciting contest. The meeting was largely attended, every member of the committee being pres ent. At the last meeting of the committee the fight for the high honor narrowed down between five candidates, whose names were last night taken up and voted on. It was not until the forty-third ballot that the lucky candidate received a majority of the votes, so faithful were the friends of the other aspirants.
 The identity of his royal highness will, of course, remain a secret until the night of the Rex ball, but it is given out that he is one of the most prominent men in honors gracefully.
 Rex Vulcan has selected his queen, who is said to be of the fairest women in Birmingham The selection of the court attendants will be made at once and cos tunes ordered which will be the most mag nifcent in the history of the house of Vulcan.
 Immediately after the election, meeting of the executive board of the society was called to make final arrangements in re- gard to all matters in connection with the Mardi Gras festivities. These matters will be finally decided at meeting of the Car nival society, which will be held tonight in the rooms of the Commercial club. The question of issuing Rex ball tickets to non- members will also come up for final adjust ment
 It is understood that party of twenty five persons from New York city, headed by Colonel James Fitzpatrick, formerly of Bridgeport, will come to the carnival and several other parties from a distance have been heard from.
 President Lesser, General Manager Roin- tree, of the trades parade, and every off, cer of the society are working like Trojans for the success of the celebration which promises to be by far the most brilliant in the history of Birmingham.
 Members of the society and all persons interested in the success of the carnival are urged to attend the meeting tonight.

NTHE PLAYS

"A Stranger Tn New York" is, like all of MT. Charles Hoyt's plays, full of ae- ton and mirth-provoking situations. It is a story of hotel life, and the plots and counter-plots that take place in that ho- tel just before and during the French ball keep the audience in very comfortable condition to say the least Each member of the company played well his part but MT.

Untimely Death of Little Carrie Jacobs
 Funeral This Afternoon.

After a short illness from pneumonia, which developed into meningetis, Carrie, the little daughter of Mir. and Mrs Ben M Jacobs, died yesterday at 1920 o'clock at the residence of her parents, No. 17O9 Seventh avenue.
 Little Carrie was 10 years and months of age, and was the oldest child of Mir and Mrs. Jacobs. She was the pride of hap py home, which has been saddened by her sudden taking away.
 Just one week ago yesterday she was taken i'll with la grippe, which rapidly de- veloped into pneumonia and finally into meningetis. The condition of the child took an unfavorable turn on Saturday last and, despite the efforts of skilled physicians and nurses and the every attention of devoted parents and loving friends, death triumph ed and relived the little sufferer of her pain. The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to the bereaved parents in their hour of inconsolabe grief. The funeral will occur at 2:SO o'clock this afternoon from the family residence, and will be conducted by Rabbi Morris Newfied Interment at the Jewish cemetery.
 The employees of Ben M. Jacobs & Bros, of which MT. Jacobs is senior member, adopted the following resolutions of sympa- thy yesterday afternoon:
 ''Whereas, Our Father in Heaven has seen fit, in his wisdom, to take from our midst through the hand of death one whom we loved, bright star from the home, cher ished one from the bosom of devoted pa- rents and relatives and friends in the death of little Carrie Jacobs;
 "ReSOlVed, That we tender to the DarentS of the deceased and to little LeRoy and little Fannie Jacobs and relatives, our deep and heartfelt sympathy, and we pray the Almighty Father in Heaven to comfort ana to make the home, now so dark and sad bright by His presence.

achieved such remarkable success in the past two seasons that it's advent now to any hitherto unvisited place is looked upon as affording event of unusual interest. It is almost unnecessary to say that Jack is the work of Barnet and Sloane, and was originally produced by the Boston Cadets. Those alert managers, Klaw and Erlanger, saw in the piece just what would appeal to the general public and at once secured it. Its history for the past two seasons is known to every one who keeps in touch with such matters. It has been a continu- ous record-breaker in point of receipts, and critics and public have vied with each other in bestowing upon it words of praise and admiration. It is without question the most popular extravaganza seen within the past decade. The lavish hand with which it has been mounted, the good taste shown in the selection of those who participate in 1t, the combined judgment and iberality shown in its production, all furnish reasons for its being what it is.
 ''The Herrmanns'' is one of the few or- ganizations that carry an expert musician, composer and leader. All the music used during their performance was specially written for them, and the solos played by their leader Rene Stretti, between the acts, are quite an attractive feature, added to an already unique and brilliant perform ance. The name of the Herrmanns Is too well known to need extended comment They carry sixteen people and two carloads of special scenery and paraphernalia, and it is only necessary to announce that they appear at O'Brien's opera house Monday night to insure a full house.

succeeded in tearing her stocking. On
examination of the flesh, there was no
abrasion whatever. Saturday it went to
Lapham's farm near town, bit two dogs,
SOW, and two shoats. The dogs were
Immediately killed, and the SOW and
shoats were separated from the others
and put up to await developments.
Most of the dogs bitten in town have
either been killed or chained up. The
whole affair has caused much anxious
concern, and coming so close after the
sad experience of the Donovan
hydrophobia case, it naturally in
creases the scare. The dog after leav-
ing Lapham's farm disappeared and
has not been heard from since, and
whether it was actually mad is a mat
ter of conjecture. Mr.. Davis, how
ever, thinks his dog was bitten by the
strange dog. 1t is sincerely hoped
that nothing serious will result from
the above cases.
