SEPTEMBER WEATHER
Cool and Dry-Only .o4 in Precipitation
During Month

Weathermaker Jacobs has completed his
report for the month of September, which
presents some interesting figures in CONS
parison with previous years. q,
September has been very dry month,
and the precipitation average Is the lowest
that has been recorded since 1893. The to-
tai precipitation for the month was 04 of
an inch. This is exceedingly low as the
average for the past seven years for the
month of September has been 153.
September was a remarkable month in
that some of the coolest weather expert
enced for number of years during the
same month was recorded. The tempera-
ture has varied considerably, however, and
though it dropped as low as ~ degrees on
the 9th, it went as high as 9S degrees on
the 9Th. The greatest daily range was SO
degrees and the smallest ~ degrees
Though frost was reported from several
of the highland suburbs of Birmingham
the official report of Weathermaker ia
cobs does not corroborate these statements
The especial benefit derived from the
past dry September has been to the cotton
growing counties. On account of the
scarcity of rains the best grade of cotton
that has been harvested for years is being
sold now. The dryness parches the leaves
considerably and the fragments mixing
with the cotton have damaged 1t to some
extent.

A large audience at O'Bren's opera

Warde is well known to Birmingham play
goers, and he rendered the lines of the
Venetian love story last night with his
customary grace and strength. But strong
and graceful as he was, he scarcely exceed
ed Mrs. Bruno as the doge's daughter. At
times the latter thrilled the house with the
beauty and impressiveness of her art.
Charles D. Herman, as Angelo, the crafty
priest, was also admirable in his part. The
story is full of threatened tragedy revolu-
ton and murder, but in the end no one was
killed and Mr.. Carleton even brought the
two lovers together in the doge's seat 1t
is not often so thrilling play ends so hap

canal and other scenes in Venice added not
a little to the beauty of the play.

100 students matricuiated, and it is expected
that the 100 mark will be passed within the
next two days.
The exercises were held in the lecture

prominent physicians and leading citizens
OF Birmingham. This is the sixth year Of

for a successful session.

in tones of gratifca ton at the large at

DR.. r. NJ Cunningham was then intro

several minutes in an eloquent talk. He
took occasion to give the future doctors
some wholesome and sound advice.

JUDGE FEACIN WILL
BANK THE GAME
Gambling Cases VIII be Heard This After
noon-Police Headquarters Could
Easily be Taken for "Den."

The trials of the men arrested in the raid
saloon will be heard by Judge Feagln this
afternoon at o'clock.
The cases will probably be heard sep
arately and 1t is expected that some inter-
esting evidence will be adduced. There are
twenty-five defendants, and it is said that
every one of them Will plead not guilty.
When the officers entered the rooms Sun
day morning one was found gambling,
and it will be interesting to see what pro-
cedure the police will take to prove the
charge of gambling.
All of the tables, including two large
crap tables, one roulette table, one faro
table, one round poker table and two or
binary green top card tables have been re-
moved from the raided rooms and are now
in the office of the captain of police. Stacks
of chips sitting all around the room and
it very much resembles a gambling den
Some one suggested yesterday that as the
city believes in municipal ownership it had
better arrange the tables and start up an
official Birmingham poker room.
The roulette table, which sits in the mid
die of the room, is an object of much Curl
osity to those who visit the police station
is beautiful. 1t is trimfaed in highly pol
ished birdseye maple and the numbers are
printed in various colors.
Though there has been no established
custom in Birmingham as to the disposition
of gambling devices, it is said that the
present lot will be confscated and burned.

0AIlle Eif''

1t is seldom that comedy awakens so
much real enthusiasm and interest as
Mile. Fiji" which comes to O'Brien's opera
house tonight with a triumphant record of
nearly 200 nights in New York. Fiji is a
very dainty and charming little play, most
deity constructed and with theme that
is as genuinely droll as it is original. The
game of cross purposes which arises from
the attempt of a young couple to secure a
bogus divorce for the purpose of controll-
ing a marriage settlement is founded on
honest, wholesome fun that is always kept
within bounds. The acting is as admirable
as the plot, introducing as 1t does a COM
pact little company of people, every one
of whom has gained individual distinction
in legitimate work. Miss Pearl Evelyn, as
the sweet little wife of a once rakish young
French vicompte, has beauty, art, tempera-
ment, and her simplicity of method is very
delightful. Her personal success has been
most emphatic. Edward Abe,es is frank,
boyish and magnetic as the young hus-
band. Miss Maud Granger has never re-
vealed her splendid art to greater advant-
age than as breezy, busting Boston
widow. Dore Davidson as Mendoza the
money lender, is a rare character study.
Miss Mamie Gilroy, in the title role, is due
great credit and others have achieved great
personal successes. There's no Indifferent
acting in "Fif,' and it is performance to
be fully enjoyed in every respect.
