Mascot Is great musical farce

 The citizens of Birmingham, whose bust ness or pleasure causes their presence on the streets about o'clock at night, have for the last few days been treated te reg ular feasts of music, of all kind and qual- ties. Since the arrival of the dog and pony show and Phil Peters Comedy Company, to say nothing of the Salvation Army the .>- spring notes of .rag-time music, and the plaintive voices of the Salvation Army girls have struggled for supremacy. So far the rag-time performances have held t.rs first place with the public, yet the Salvation Army has kept pluckily on, exorting sin ners to repentance.
 Last night the din was increased by the band in attendance on the colored lodge of the Knights of Pythias, who, with a large crowd of admirers, left on trolley for Traction Park, where lively cakewalk was held by several of the local walkers"
 The crowds on the streets had their choice of any kind of music, and until the depart ure of the bands for their respective des- tinations, hugely enjoyed the continuous performance.
 But those who are not down town of night get their full share of melody during the day from the horde of musical advertisers who infest the business portion of the city from morning till night, parading up and down the streets eating drums, ringing bells, blowing tin horns and in countless ways strive to attract attention to the huge placards that always accompany them, an- nouncng some excursion, bargain sale or show Needless to say their productions In the way of melody are highly appreciated by the delighted and music-loving public.
