After waiting for nearly two months for a
really meritorious play the patience of
Omaha theatergoers was rewarded Sunday
by the opportunity of seeing one of the most
successful of any of the dramas produced
in the east last season.
There are few who have not read Mrs.
Burnett's novel, "a Lady OF Quality" and
those who have can fully appreciate the
splendid dramatization given it by Stephen
Townsend which follows the book more
closely than do the majority Of dramatiza-
tions of popular novels. AS to the merits
of the story there is a wide diversity of
opinion among competent critics. All are
unanimous, however, that It is well told and
possesses exceptional dramatic value. Dra-
matte criticisms are necessarily the opin-
ions OF single persons but If in years of
playgoing there is any knowledge to be
gained as to whether or not a piece is
morally fit to see, "A Lady Of Quality" GER
tainly deserves the patronage OF all lovers
of the drama. True, the story is exceedingly
candid in both theme and treatment but
not immoral, rather it teaches a moral, a
lesson that cannot but prove uplifting
Clorinda Wildairs Is motherless girl

A UTAH VIEW OF ROBERTS

From the Salt Lake City Tribune
There came time when the pressure of
the government was too much for the Nor
mon system, and then the head of 1t issued
a manifesto and agreed that henceforth
polygamy should cease and that the church
should take its power entirely away from
politics. Under it the president of the
church agreed that the manifesto meant
that polygamy should cease. The Gentiles
of Utah and the people of the United States
accepted that and rejoiced that the trouble
which had so long vexed this unfortunate
territory had ceased. Then, in the full be-
lief in the sincerity of all concerned state
hood was given. B. H. Roberts took the
oath to obey the laws He helped to frame
the constitution upon which the state was
admitted. 1t trar red year and half
ago that the faith not being kept; that
the territory was being filled with poly
gamous children, and that the high officers
of the church were taking new wives in adj
dition to their old ones. AS climax B.
II. Roberts was put forward, {. chiefly
through the influence of two or three
polygamous apostles, and though he had
been dead in politics three years he was
triumphantly nominated and elected 1t
was an exhibition of broken faith toward
the government and people of the United
States unparalleled in the history of the
republic 1t was against this that the Gen
tiles protested. 1t was because of this
that even the democratic organ of the state
at first refused to support Roberts except
on the score of his democracy The mat
ter has made all the noise and trouble Since

and naval stores can be sold to advantage.
All these articles will be foated to the sea
on the bosom of the coosa when 1t Is OPEN
ed to navigation. What is the good of
landing these articles at Mobile unless am
pie markets can be found for them. Mobile
does not want them. and the widest and
best demand for them is to be sought
among the crowded marts of the Pacific.
The gulf states, of which section Rome is
part, are deeply interested in the building
of the Nicaragua cafral. 1t means great
deal for Rome itself. 1t means a great deal
for the brown ore beds in the district that
Mr.. Maddox represents. 1t means great
deal for all the southern country. Its con-
struction is matter in the south, not of
sentiment, but of business, and that is why
the people of Alabama are supporting Sem
ator Morgan, who was the earliest friend
and supporter of the Nicaragua project
and who has warmly and effectively cham
pioned it ever since.

NEW STEEL WORKS IN ALABAMA
Tennessee Coal and Iron Company Opens Its
Mills at Birmingham
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
Birmingham, November 30.-Alabama fit
tingly rejoices on this Thanksgiving Day
at its emancipation from thralldom as a
purveyor of raw materials TO other districts.
Today by the entrance on the manufacture
of steel by another Industrial giant, the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad COM
pany, at Ensley. suburb of Birmingham,
the state opens new chapter in its history
This company with its half million acres
of mineral land. its twenty blast furnaces
and thirty colieries. opened its steel works
today without ceremony. No invited guests,
champagne, or speeches graced the day,
momentous to the south for the first man
ufacture of steel on a commercial scale.
Only the officers of the company and
President Smith of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, were present when the
turn of lever threw the hydraulic pressure
on the first of the ten fifty-ton open-hearth
furnaces and tilted it gradually over The
furnace contained mixture of basic pig
and scrap heated with brown iron one and
limestone, all being the products of the
company.
All the materials were gathered within
sight of the works. In fact, within this
charmed circle one mile in diameter lie the
collieries- the coke ovens, the blast fur
naces, the casting machine, the steel works,
the rod, wire and nail works, the steel cast
ings foundry, and the rail mill The ore
comes four miles. With that exception, the
mill circle contains every thing even to
firebrcks for repairs. Every part of the
plant worked like charm, and gave no in
dcation that it was the first trial. The
heated metal was poured direct from the
furnace to the ingot molds without the
usual intervention of a ladle This was
accomplished by the use of a forehearth
with two nozzles thus pouring two ingots
at once, and saving the time of handling
and filing a big ladle.
The plant, costing $l,500,o0O was started
July II of last year, and will withdraw
from the general foundry market 1000 tons
per day of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad companys pig iron. This tonnage
will be sold henceforth billets, slabs and
rails, and a large part will be used by the
Alabama Steel and Wire company for wire.
rods, nails, wire fence, etc. Arrangements
have been made to deliver the bi.lets red
hot to its mill.
Special prominence will be given to the
export trade, as Birmingham is nearer tide
, water than either Pittsburg or Chicago.

Alumni TO Act This Month.

Every alumnuss who loves alma mater,
every one who tenderly recalls his college
days. should prepare to go up to the uni
versity town on the nineteenth day of this
month. His best counsel and best judgment
are needed there at that time. He has been
duly summoned. and the summons should
be answered on the spot by every son of the
university The alumni are summoned to
Tuscaloosa by their own society-by stand
ing committees of their own selection.
special committee of competent men
has been charged with the duty of inves-
tigating in the meanwhile all "facts and
circumstances regarding the recent sale of
lands belonging to the university to the
Sloss-sheffield company The committee
will investigate the validity of the sale.
They will be ready to present both facts
and conclusions, and every alumnus should,
a he loves the university be present to act
upon tHe Teporl.
The Age-Herald believes the forthcoming
report will be document that will have a
high place in the history of the university,
and therefore of the state. 1t will be
turning point in the university's career. 1t
will determine whether its coal lands
are to be frttered away, or are
to be preserved as the source of hand
some income and endowment There is
That is but an entering wedge. The real
questions is: Shall any one be permitted
to grab in deals kept secret two whole
months the coal lands of the university?
Or shall those lands be set aside to the en-
richment and endowment of the university
in the long run? These are the questions
to be met, and every alumnus should be
present to speak for the old institution
ginning of his career.
Putting all the bubbles of the hour aside,
The Age-Herald appeals to every son of
the university to put the business OF the
university first on the nineteenth day OIL
this month. Give at least one day to an
institution that has been so torn and veXed
in the past and that may be so useful IN
the future. Give one day to it both because
YOU love the spot, and because you kno"
what 1t stands for to those who are to come
ofter vor Remember what it is to Ala
hama. Go up to Tuscaloosa on December
10 full of nothing but love for the UNIVERSE
tv. and the sons of Alabama.

Joubert a Source of Weakness.

News from South Africa comes slowly and
infrequently. There is still reason to be-
lieve that General Butler is more concerned
in keeping the Beers in Natal than he is in
giving them battle or in relieving Lady
smith. He will undoubtedly crowd them not
little but at last accounts the deep and
unfordable Tugea river separated the two
forces The Tugela river is but eleven miles
from Ladysmith. White and Clery may
of course attack Joubert, front and rear
they will keep him actively employed with
out bringing on decisive and general en-
gagement.
Jouberts position is wholly untenable I'M
less he has force in the Free State large
enough to handle Lord Methuen's advancing
column, and he does not appear to have
such a force. Kimberley will undoubtedly
be relieved today or tomorrow and then
General Methuen will be apt to turn at
once towards Bloemfontein. The occupation
of Bloemfontein means the occupation OF
Pretoria. The folly of Joubert's campaign
in Natal will then be apparent. If he could
have crushed White and captured all the
stores down to, if not including, DURHAM
the raid into Natal would perhaps have
been justified, but he has not been able to
capture anything firmly held. and he must
now withdraw from Natal unless General
Cronje can defeat Methuen. which he has
not thus far been able to do.
All in all the heaviest fighting seems like
1y to occur between Kimberley and Bloem-
fontein Cronje is fighting not so much for
the capital of the Free State as he is for a
base of supplies for both himself and Jou-
bert The latter's stay in Natal has be-
come in other words the weakest feature of
the Boer campaign. Joubert's strategy has
given the British an opportunity that would
not otherwise have been offered before
Christmas at the soonest. without awaiting
for their full strength they are now able
TO assume the offensive. Joubert helped
them to it.

A Voice From Rome,

John w. Maddox represents the Rome,
committee is plainly authorized to xact
the building of the Nicaragua canal He
says it will cost 100000 900. Outside of
Rome the best engineering talent in the
country says its cost will not exceed $780,
100000, after making heavy allowances on
account Of the climate. Mr.. Maddox also
says 100000 men would be required to hold
1t in case of war; thus putting all wars on
a footing, and quite forgetting that no
troops are needed at the Suez canal in cases
of war in order to keep off dynamiters.
Rome is at the head of the Coosa, and
either it should stop asking the government
to expend money on the shoals of that
river. or else It should favor an extension
of Coosa navigation to the great Pacific
ocean, with its almost unlimited markets,
in which cotton and cotton goods and iron
and coal and steel, and lumber and timber
