THE JOBS
 ARE MANY SEEKERS
Large Number of Applications for Places on Police Force
 and Trolley Cars

It has been said on the stage, in the cc.n- ic almanacs and in the streets that the last two jobs desired are those of motorman and policeman, but if the man who believes this will take look at the number of ap- plications on file for such positions in Bir- mingham it is likely to cause change of opinion.
 Some days ago the City Council passed a resolution authorizing the chief of police to employ twenty extra officers for duty at the fair grounds. Within three days after the Councils action was made public there were forty-ive applications on file in the chiefs office, and others are expected hourly. Many of these are accompanied by recommendations, but nevertheless some- body will have to be disappointed Aside from these applications for appointments as special officers, there are two hundred applications on file for appointments as reg ular patrolmen. It Is understood that there are nearly as many applications on file with the street car company from men who want to be motormen.
 From this showing 1t would seem that there are plenty of mer who desire to work,

DE W EFT ENGAGED
Caught by Knox in Rensburg Drift
 Boers Lost Heavily

London, October 29.-The war office has received the following from Lord Roberts, dated Pretoria, October 2S:
 Knox successfully engaged Dewet Oc- tober 27. During the Boer retreat Knox caught Dewet in the Rensburg drift The Boers lost considerably and left two guns and three wagons in Knoxs hands. An other ammunition wagon was blown up by a shell. The British casualties were , none."
 Referring to the Jacobsdal affair, Lord Roberts says 1t was due to the treachery of the inhabitants, who admitted the Boers to their houses at night They opened fire at daybreak. Four men were killed and thirteen wounded, mostly Cape Highlanders. The troops dispatched from the Modder river drove off the Boers The homes of the treacherous inhabitants were destroyed. Commandant Bossman was killed.
 Lord Roberts called attention to the in- creasing inclination of the better class of Beers to cooperate with the British to secure peace, "since they find that guer- rilla warfare is visited with heavy punish ment."

Reception at Ithica

Ithica, N. r., October 29-The Roosevelt train arrived here little behind time and the greatest enthusiasm of the trip was manifested in the city and at the train. This was partly due to the presence of Cor nell College students. A trolley car was in waiting for the party at the depot, and as 1t passed down the main street toward the place of meeting it had to go through lines of students, exhibiting the widest en- thusiaSm. One squad of students had din- ner pails in their hands and wore blue jumpers. A parade was formed with three bands and great crowd of students and citizens. In the crowd circulars had been distributed asking the Governor of his record as to assertions he was alleged to have made regarding farmers and laborers and containing a piece of verse called 'Rutfian Rider Roosevelt"
 It was about an hour after the Governor arrived at the stand before he got well into his speech, the boys insisting upon singing college airs to campaign words and giv- ing their yels. In speaking of the proh- able enfranchisement of negroes in Porto Rico and disfranchisement in North Car Clina, he said:
 "Houghton, your coach there, will re- member-and perhaps some of you who know the conditions of the past will re- member-how one of the best centers, if not the best the Harvard team ever had, was a colored man. Now, gentlemen, it would have been perfect folly to have put him on the team on account of his color, and it would have been equally foolish to have kept him off on account of his color. Is not that sop
 The question was met with a number of cries of "Yes!"
 Now, all l want' said the speaker, ''is that when a man in civil life shows himself to be good man as this man showed himself to be at football, you give him the same kind of show"
 In closing he said: "I want you to apply this football motto to civil life Dom foul, don't shirk, but hit the line hard. In oth- CT words, act decently and honestly, but don't commit any act of trickery. Don't t do anything of the kind wha discover for the purpose of political gain that will smirch the name of American citizenship. Don't foul. On the other hand, don't shirk. If there is class in the community for whom, I have little use, it is the class of timid good-the people who are mighty good in their own parlors but don't come out to do mans work in the world. You have got to have not merely virtue, but you must have virile virtue-you must be a man."
 You're the stuffr' said voice in the audience.

He sat in digniiied si- lence while the police looked on quietly. The campaign club from Corning was also assaulted, and bitter fight ensued. In the places of meeting the Governor also had Interruptions.
 Governor Roosevelt finished the first day of his second weeks campaign in this state by an invasion of the home of the Democratic candidate for Governor, Judge Stanchfield. At IthLca the Governors re- ception was most friendly one, and he paid compliment to one of the college men, son of Richard Croker, by refusing to do as he has generally done at other stops, make personal attack on the Tam many tiger In his hour speech he did not mention the name of MT. Croker.

One of the most important theatrical events of the season will be the forthcom- ing engagement of Liebler & Co.'S produc- ton of Hall Gaines great play, 'The Chris tian," which is announced for next Monday and Tuesday and Tuesday matinee at the Jefferson Theatre.
 The company is one of Liebler Co.'S best travelling organizations, and numbers upwards of sixty people, and includes many names of singular prominence in the dra- matic world. Two carloads of special scen- cry are carried by the company, and the production in every detail will be equal to that given in the metropolitan cities.
 Owing to the enormous expense attendant on this production, the best seats will be held at S1.50, and intending patrons will do well to anticipate their wants and secure their seats early, as there is every fndica- tion that the entire house will be sold long before the date of the engagement

From reasons of theatrical policy the management decline to state in advance the nature ot the act or the name of the hanosome auburn-haired girl. But there can be no doubt that in Chicago, Boston and New York this season the "Girl' made an unprecedented hit, and week after week packed the theaters in which she appeared That her act is faiTy-like and enchanting in its pictorial aspect, and that the "Girl'' herself Is the most inspiring presence in the midst of the splendid environment created for her, is the unanimous verdict Of the most eminent critics of the country, as evil denced by their public commendation.

Waldorf Astor is rushing into fresh

application to the Bucks county mag
istrates for permission to close the
footpath over which the public from
time immemorial have had the right
Of way through portion of the
grounds Of his Cliyeden estate to the

picturesque, direct and greatly used
path, and he offers in exchange an
other path which has nothing to rec

public from proximity to his house
and grounds.
All the surrounding districts are up
in arms, and an indignation meeting
is mooted to protest against this lat

Cliveden.
1t is expected, however, that the
magistrates will not grant his de.

Terrible Death.

49, - s.AT -. !.
Robert Pinney, an engineer em-'
ployed ct the government dam at.
Meeker island, was ground to pieces
between drum and q wire cable. The
mass Of flesh and torn clothing was
wound up ii the cable coil, and il took
the workmen half an hour to gather
the pieces together. It was the first
fatality that has occurred at the dam.
& Pinney was engineer Of one Of the
fifty-ton cable towers Between these
two towers runs cable which is used
lower material into the dam. The en-
sgineer and his fireman, Samuel Scott,
received orders to pick up quantity
OF material, and the order was mega
phoned to the crew on the other side
of the river. After everything had
been placed in readiness, Pinney
stationed himself at the starting gear
Tor the drum. Scott was at the time
on the outside edge Of the platform.
The machinery had not been moving
more then a few seconds when Scott
heard Pinney scream. At first he
thought it was q joke, but he ran to
the drum. A horrible sight there met
his eyes, and around the drum the man
gled body of the engineer was being
wound. The machinery was stopped,
but then there was nothing more than
gather the remains together.
