 and Grandfather

II. O. Hoyt and his daughter and som in-law, MT. and Mrs. s. G.

 The history of the affair is briefly as fol- lows In 1892 Jack Young, the father. of Dorsey Young, went to the residence of his father-in-law, H. O. Hoyt, where his wife residing, having separated from htm owing to hfs drunken hatits and cruelty, and enfticed the little girl to follow him. A lengthy lawsuit was held in Chattanooga, the fcrmer home of Mrs. Young, for the possession of ahe child. The court awarded it to the mother but 5he father had in the meantime sent the little girl into an ad- joining state and, although detectives traced him over several states, he nor the child could ever be Gocated.
 Last week Chief of Police Austin in this city received a letter from a party in Lon- don, Ky, stating that he had ln his charge a twelve-year-old gdrl who claimed to have been kidnapped from this oity about eight years ago.. and making inquiry as to who had lost child When the news of this letter reached MT. Hoyt he and his daugln ter immediately determined to go to Lon- don and see the chsid, with the result as given above.

~THE PLAY@
A Runaway Girl

That a brilliant audience will greet the pretty melodic comedy, or opera comique, entitled "A Runaway Girl" as presented by the full strength of the Augustin Daly Musical company at O'Briens opera house tonight seems an assured fact.
 This year the members of Daly's com pany are said to be in exceptional singing form, and present an ensemble of voices clearly without rival in the ranks of the comic opera. Especial care has been taken in the selection of the chorus and an attractive and vivacious lot of young singers are vouchsafed. Concerning "A Runaway Girl" which will be rendered here, it is enough to add that its charm ing and insistent melody is already well known to music lovers and its interpreta- ton here is said to be one of the features of the seasonn.
 Every seat in the house is sold for to- night and those coming later can only ob- tain standing room.
 To accommodate the large crowds who would otherwise be disappointed the man. agement has arranged for a special mati- nee today on which occasion all seats will be reserved.

BUSINESS END" YET
 TO BE ORGANIZED
Fate of the May Festival is in
 Doubt.
GUARANTEE FUND LACKING
Well in Hand-Last Years Festi- val Proved a Musical and
 Financial Success

If Birmingham is to have a festival next May the "busness end" is yet to be or ganized.
 As last years May festival was a bril- liant success, both musically and finan- clally, the music lovers of Birmingham and the public generally naturally look forward to a festival in the coming May About a year ago the May Musical Festival association was organized with James Bowron as president and Benjamin Guck- enberger as musical director The guaran- tee fund necessary for successful affair was promptly subscribed and contract with the Boston festival orchestra man. agement for vocal solosists and orchestra was signed MT. Guckenberger organized his big chorus and started to rehearse Haydn's Creation and other works which were to have prominent positions on the festival programme.
 A meeting of the old directors was held early last night but nothing was done further than to discuss the fes- tival enterprise in a general way. A meet ing of last years guarantors was then called.
 Start Was Made
 At this meeting, held at the Commercial club rooms, President Bowron drew up u form of guarantee and headed the list with $100. MT. Guckenberger followed with guarantee of $50. This was the last of the May festival movement so far as is known to the public. No canvassing among the business men of Birmingham was done
 There was an informal meeting of the : tn fln ainI club meeting, but nothing was given out for publication It is understood, however, that those who attended that meeting de- cded that it would be better to do nothing until after the annual meeting of the asso- citation on the first Monday in February.
 An Age-Herald reporter called on MT Bowron Saturday and asked him if notices had been sent out for the annual meeting He replied that they had not: that the membership of the association was sup posed to consist of the old guarantors, and the list was not to be found. The officer who had possession of the Est, thinking it was of no value and therefore need not be retained after the accounts of the fes- tival were settled mislaid it or destroyed it.
 MT. Bowren Cannot Act
 MT. Bowron suggested that under the cir cumstances it would be better, In fact necessary, to start de novo. He said that owing to the multiplicity of his business cares it would be impossible for him to ac- cept the presidency of a festival association this year, that he would be ready to sign his name to a guarantee list, but further than that he would take no part in the mat ter.
 MT. Guckenberger reorganized the festival chorus month ago, ard is having regular rehearsals of Mendelssohn's Elijah" Last Thursdays rehearsal was particularly. sat isfactory The chorus has now learned the entire first part of Elijah"
 It is believed by MT. Guckenberger and others that a general meeting of those n- terested in the question of holding festi- val will be called at an early day. Tho expenses of the festival last year were about s2,5OO. The receipts were lit- tie over $2, 800.

clubs which have done effective work
in most of the States.
The State chairman and other par
ty leaders have called upon all Dem

organize either on Friday night, Sep
TENDER 18th, or on Saturday, Septem-
Der 18th.
All White Supremacy clubs are call
ed to meet at me same time to organ
ize themselves into Bryan and Stev-
enson clubs.
Let every supporter of Bryan and
Stevenson bestir himself to see that
a big club is organized in his precinct.
With thorough organization and active
work, North Carolina will give ire
mendous majority for Bryan and
Stevenson and send nine able men to
Congress to hold up their hands.
All together for victory!
