 The purpose of the company is to consoli- date under a single head all the iron, steel, tin and enamel ware concerns in the coun- try. The capitalization mentioned in the papers filed this afternoon is only nominal, and the names of the incorporators do not show it's real character. This is because the Merely to Secure Name

CITY TAKES ON
 MARDI GRAS AIR Every Train Bringing Visitors to
 the City. THE HOTELS ARE CROWDED Indications Are That Former Crowds Will Dwarf in Comparison to the One That Will Attend This
 Years Celebration.
THE HOTELS ARE CROWDED

Already the city is assuming Mardi Gras air. Many visitors have arrived and every train is bringing more The hotels are filling up rapidly and with the transient guests it is almost impossible to secure a room
 The royal colors of the house of Rex are displayed on every street, while show win dows arc gay with fancy costumes for the festive season.
 All indications point to the most success ful carnival in the history of the city. It is estimated that all previous carnival crowds will be small in comparison to the num- Der of visitors who will besiege the city on Monday and Tuesday.
 The Finishing Touches
 The officers of the Carnival Society are as busy as bees. General Manager Roun- tree, of the trades parade, is prepared to astonish the natives, and believes that the trades parade will be made a permanent feature of the carnival.
 The several official parades will be the finest ever attempted in Birmingham, and the magnificent floats which will be shown to the multitude can not fail to impress visitors favorably
 Alter heX 1tAlI I1CkeCs
 Applications for tickets to the balls have been so great that President Lesser says they have been entirely exhausted, and that 1t is useless for others to apply. The members of the society have been exceed ingly liberal in the distribution of these in vitations and tickets, so that the supply has run out. "The more the merrier," is the motto for the Rex ball, however, as well as for all other masquerade balls. If crowds count for anything, the balls of 1S99's carnival will be a decided success.
 By next Monday the city will be decked in it's gaudiest holiday attire. Mayor Evans is going to be very liberal in his permits to allow the building of grand stands along the route of the parades, and the indica- tions are that they will border nearly the whole route of tho parade.
 What the weather will be next week is the question that is agitating the officers of the Carnival Society and the public in general. Everybody confidently hopes that the usual reaction from the present spell of extremely cold weather will set in, and that Rex Vulcan ". will be given "warm'' re- ception by Weathermaker Jacobs.
 Rex will arrive this year over the Louis vile and Nashville railroad from Louisville. He comes in by a different route every year. The railroads are all proud of the honor of bringing his majesty into the city, and they are always glad to have their road chosen as the royal route to Birmingham.

 McKenna.

~THE PLAY0

It was a cold, shvering audience that heard 'sThe Serenade" sung by The Bos- tonians at O'Briens opera house last night. Inc famous singers did not receive a cold reception from the audience. Still, the audi ence was cold and the players were cold. People shivered on the stage and in front of the stage. It was one of the coldest nights of the season, and the heating facilities were poor. 'The Serenade" was heard in Birmingham last season, and the public Is familiar with this beautiful creation of Vic tor Herbert and Harry smith. All the old favorites were seen and Helen Bertram made favorable impression as Alice Nell sens successor. Robin Hood" will be sung tonight.
 Something of the romance of bygone days, the sweetness of ingenious love, the uncon- trollable passion of middle age, the manners and quaint dresses of the time when Vic toria was made queen of England and Charles Dickens wrote his first book, an absorbing and powerful story with some great dramatic high lights, an abundance of good comedy, together with a complete production from the Empire theater New York, and capital company of comedians, is what Otis Skinner promises to present in his comedy of Rosemary" The play Is the masterpiece of that interesting and talented pair of playwrights, Louis N. Parker and Murray Carson, who are producing more good plays than any other authors in Eng land today. Rosemary" established once and finally their pre-emnence as writers of romantic drama. It has been termed "the very pearl in their galaxy of jewels" What more fitting than that 1t should be pre- scented by the chief romantic actor of the American stage, Otis Skinner?
 MT. Skinner has hitherto established and maintained high standard in his field of professional labor, and he is not losing sight of the fact that the public expects him to offer the best in the way of plays and com- pany. That he is fulfilling this expectation is evinced by his securing Rosemary for the vehicle of his work this year. In this comedy the actor will be seen in the char acter of retiring, absent-minded hermit of an English baronet, who becomes enamored of a beautiful young creature, all innocence and sunshine, who does not love him in re- turn. The comic interest is centered in the girls father, hot-headed eX-sea captain, her talkative mother, her jealous young lover, an old book-worm and some quaint country servants. The little heroine will have an unusually interesting interpreter in Maud Durbin. The play is to be given on Friday night
