1.-THE RLAY@

The Al G. Field Greater Minstrels are an-
 nounced for two performances tomorrow at
 O'Briens opera house. The company that
 is announced. seems to be one of unusual
 excellence. All the scenery and stage ef-
 fects are new and of the most elaborate
 kind. The costumes are said to be gor-
 geous; in fact, the organization Is com plete in every detail and no expense spared
 to make it up-to-date in every particular
 The company is headed by the famed Faust
 family of artistic acrobats in an act entirely
 new in which they introduce living repre-
 sentations of ancient and modern statuary.
 Eyerhart, the Jongleur, who does so many
 expert things with his wonderful hands is
 another big feature Harry Skunk, Tommy
 Donnelly, Jake Welby, George Kingsbury,
 Doc Quigley and Al. G. Field take care of
 the comedy portion of the bill. Then there
 is a splendid corps of singers, an octette
 of sooists including Harry Sheldon, John w. Norton, John Dickens, Reese Prosser, Thomas Crockett, George Hassell, George
 P Marshall, E. F. Shell and a choir of boy voices.
 Hyde x Fairman head the dancing con- tingent. Welby, Pearl, Keys and Master Carroll. the American novelty dancers and Kingsbury & GreVe, the genii of musical
 comedy, the nondescript trio, three athletic young men who the tallest kickers known.
 The spectacular first part entitled "A Night in the Park" is a thing of beauty. The entire stage is set with special scenery representing the garden of the Tuilleries,
 Paris, France All the arbors, hooks and avenues are truthfully portrayed. Paris is | seen in the distance. The picture is illumi- mated by five hundred electric lights. 1t is | claimed the first part setting of the Al G. Field Greater Minstrels is the most eXpen- 1 sive set of stage scenery ever used. | There is a fine orchestra, a big band and | the usual parade with the musical concert. | Al G. Field has always kept faith with his | patrons. He seems to have outdone all | previous efforts with his company for this | season. That he will reap just reward | goes without saying. It will be the capaci- | ty of the house, as usual.
 The vehicle used this season to present | the comedian. George w. Monroe, Is Edlth | Ellis Bakers new comedy, Mrs. B. | O'Shaughnessey," a composition which, 1t | Is claimed, has received encomiums worthy l of more pretentious effort.
 This new play produced by this we'll , known star will be the attraction at | O'Brien's opera house next Thursday. The story deals with the vacillating career Of a 1 Paradise Alley ilriterate washerwoman | bearing the Celtic appellation of Bridget l O'Shaug ghnessey, who, with three daugh- | ters and an unlooked-for fortune, tries to | mingle with Fifth avenue society and hob | mob with the grand danes of old Knicker- | booker. Her Malapropic efforts at conver- | sation and department are ludicrous, and | afford material for this clever company to l present in a satisfactory manner. The l main part is said to fit MT. Monroe better | than any part he has been seen in for a | long time.

Cast His Own Horoscope and Game Near
 Predicting the Date of His Death

New York, September 23-Dr. Luke D. Broughton, president of the Astrological Society of America, died today.

CARPENTERS ARE VERY INDEPENDENT Say They Will All Be At Work
 Monday. MORE CONTRACTORS SIGN Mechanics Declare They Will Open Cooperative Exchange if Build-
 CTS and Traders Exchange
 Does Not Yield
 
MORE CONTRACTORS SIGN

The contractors and carpenters are now further from an agreement than they have been at any time since the strike began.
 It looks now as if there is no hope for reconciliation. The conference adjourned sine die, with the two sides more antago- nistic than before.
 The carpenters say 1t is immaterial to them whether the Builders and Traders Exchange committee signs the new scale or not.
 President Wollenhaupt said that several more contractors had signed the agreement and that on Monday there would be no carpenters out of job except the vigilance committee.
 I've now have the signatures of the men whom we want, and we do not care what the Builders and Traders Exchange does, said he. I've have been treated unfairly by the contractors, and had no idea they would offer such resis tance to our first proposition. We were of the opinion that they favored union labor and the upbuild- ing of such organizations.
 Wanted some Concessions
 "When the conference met, the contract ors wanted us to concede everything. They OHefeu nOIDE1S. uilutlSIdHu lAell d iS- port is being circulated around town that we are demanding two dollars per day for all grades of carpenters. This is not true, and is unjust to the organization The ap- prentices get what they did before the strike, and we only ask for two dollar minimum for journeymen. Hereafter all men working before the scale is signed will be termed 'scabs,' and will be turned out of the union.
 ''The men are now at work moving their tools from one job to another and all will be at work Monday. We had an order from Brookside for twenty-five men today. The men needing jobs are given the preference.
 MT. Wolenhaupt concluded by saying that if the trouble was not settled at an early date the carpenters would form a cooperative exchange and take contracts for building houses themselves.
 I've are now on the winning sde," said MT Wollenhaupt, land are stronger than ever"

HAD TOWEL IN HIS POCKET
Small Section of a Ten-Cent Store Found
 In Charlie Evans Pockets

Charlie Evans, white man, was arrest ed by Officer Walton yesterday, charged with carrying off a small section of the new 10-cent store in his coat pockets. It is alleged by the officer that Evans, while at tending the grand opening, decided that Kress & Co. were endowed with a few more of this worlds goods than they were really entitled to. With this feeling of fairness strongly entrenched in his mind, he proceeded to take up q collection, using his pockets as a contribution box. Unfor- tunately Evans picked up one towel too many The ends refused to remain con- cealed,s and were spied by one of the clerks. Officer Walton then appeared in the role of arbitrator, and decided that Evans should accompany him to the city jail, where thieves break not out and steal. To this arbitrary course Evans objected on the grounds that he had bought all the ar ticles except the towel. This he had in- tended paying for, but the officer would not give him tlme The clerks had been very neglectful. and had failed to wrap up these said articles bought by Evans. and the officer insisted on his original proposi- tion.
 In course of time Evans did arrive al the police station. In his pockets were found towels, suspenders. soap tunblers. etc., the outfit looking like a small-sized mer- camille stock.
 He will be allowed to tell Judge Feagin how it happened tomorrow morning.

 Few Days

Chattanooga, Tenn, September 23-In- structions have been received here from relatives of Frank Leyden to send the re- mains to New Orleans for burial. The body will be shipped tonight.
 Julia Morrison, charged with the mur- der and her husband, r. H. James, charg- ed with being accessory before the fact, will have a preliminary hearing before the city recorder in a few days. Indications are that one of the lines of defense will be emotional insanity on the plea that she was driven to the deed by the real or imaginary overbearing conduct of Acting Manager Leyden.

 District. RESIDED AT CAIN STATION Friday He Game Into the City, Pur- chased Coffin, and Made Ar
 engagements for Funeral of
 a Poor Child

 For the past several weeks MT. Cain, who was rather corpulent, has suffered with acute heart trouble, having had several spells from which he recovered quickly.
 Yesterday morning he felt greatly im- proved and came to the city to procure a coffin and arrange for the burial of poor child who died in his neighborhood, little dreaming that his friends would soon be called upon to perform the same mission for him.
 He returned home about noon and spent the afternoon in attending to business matters and conversing with friends and acquaintances.
 Had Finished Supper
 He ate his supper as usual and shortly after the meal, while seated in chair in the family room, complained of de- pressed feeling which grew rapidly worse' and before medical aid could be summoned expired peacefully with his devoted wife at his side.
 MT Cain came to Birmingham tWenty- nine years ago from Burnett county, Ga., and took an active part in the developments and upbullding of the city. By honest ef- forts he succeeded in accommodating snug little fortune, which consists largely Of real estate in Avondale and at Cain station, where he lived. He was a progressive citi- zen, and contributed liberally to the ad- vancement of religion and education as well as to charity and all worthy enter prises. 5e. ..., .- Deceased was a prominent Mason. hayJ ing reached the Knight Templar degree and was also an active member of the Shriners and other fraternal orgahiza- tions. z.-
 lie was an honored member of the Con federate Veterans organization and at the time of his death held an important office in Camp Hardee. :,
 He was ma arried many years ago anu his wife survives him. He was beloved by 2 large circle of friends who will be shocked to hear of his sudden demise. - -.
 Funeral arrangements have not been completed but the interment will probably occur tomorrow at Woodlawn cemetery and will be conducted by the Masons and Con federate veterans with full honors.
