features is the River Thames, made
more realistic by a river of 49, 900 gal
| Ions of real water, into which number
of boys as well as four of the principal
characters enter Another is a scene in
which is a real mirror, measuring eight
feet high and fourteen feet wide. 1t is
before this mirror that beautiful min
uet is danced under exquisitely colored
lights, dazzling in effect, rich in color
and most remarkably artistic. The sue
cess of the play in England, where it
ran for over one thousand nights, has
been duplicated in this country. There
are many modern appliances of stage
craft. The company Is as good as the
play. Miss Adelyn Wesley plays Cleo
du Pare, the adventures, Miss May
Wilkes and Miss Dorothy King play
Madeline and Gabrielle Verrill respec-
lively. Edna FaSsett as Shrimp, Mary
Horne as Lady oakley, Ella Baker as
Kitty Jumper ]. L. Wallack as Earl of
Cumberland, Edward Powers as Charlie

Morros, Harry Drscole as Hancesco
Castelli, Harold Shaw as Merciful Mick
ey, Julian Kennard as Paul Verrill, l..
f. Gregory as Smoke, with number of
lesser characters played by capable peo-
pie, are all good in their respective roles.
The piece will be repeated this and to-
morrow nights and at the matinee to-
morrow. 1t is a most excellent play
and is well worth seeing.
A romantic play of the Tennessee
mountains entitled "At Piney Ridge"
will be the attraction the last three
days this week.

In addition a splendid programme OF
musical and literary selections has been
arranged, in which some of the best tai

The remarks of President Hall upon
the occasion will be awaited with more
than passing interest by railroad men,
as the new president will undoubtedly
take the opportunity of expressing his
intentions in regard to the future OF the
association. The railroad branch is de-
pendent for the most part upon the at
titude Of the officials Of the road for its
advancement, Ever since its opening,
three years ago. the officials of the road
have taken the liveliest interest In its
progress. Ex-President Clark attended
personally it's opening and the celebra-
ton of its second year, and on both oc-
casions delivered encouraging address
es to the railroad men and to the off,
GERS of the association. He more than
once limited that should the association
prove a success the present quarters
would be enlarged and improved, and
in many ways showed that the compa-

HERMAN HERzFELD
 DIED YESTERDAY WeII-KnoWn Merchant Passed Away After Short Illness.
 A Good CitizepL

Herman Herzfeld, the well-known mer- chant and a pioneer citizen of Birming- ham, died yesterday afternoon at his resi- dence, 1G05 Eighth avenue, of typhoid-pneu- monia, after a short illness
 The announcement of the death of MT. 1erzfeid was a severe shock to the com munity, especially to his intimate friends. many of whom Were not aware that ne was dangerously ill., On Wednesday of last week he went home complaining, and was at once taken to his bed. He had pre- viousiy suffered several attacks of pneu- monia and the dangerous disease again developed, with the typhoid complications. iIe rapidly grew worse, and despite the best medical attention and all that loving hands could do to restore him to health, he passed away yesterday, surrounded by the immediate members of his family. MT. Herzfeld was 42 years of age and came to this country when mere lad from Germany. He located at Selma, and twenty-two years ago came to Birming- ham and cast his fortunes with the then struggling little village, which he had the satisfaction of seeing sroIw into the splen- did city of today. He embarked in the
 
 the start, his name becoming almost sy- anonymous of that line of trade.
 Deceased was an active member of Con- creation Emanuel, and gave ihis time and money to all movements looking toward the up5uilding of humanity and of the community. He was man of many nCole traits of character, and the sympathy of all Birmingham goes out to his grief stricken wife and children and other rela- tives.
 About fourteen years ago he was married to Miss Fanny Lazarus, sister of Lew Laz- arus, and to them were born two sons, Merlin and Monteith, who, with four of MT. Herzfelds brothers, John, Levi, Ju- Illus and Albert, and four sisters, two of whom reside in Europe, survive him.
 Telegrams were sent to relatives in Selma, Mobile and other places, notifying them of his death, and many of them will attend the funeral, which will occur to- morrow at an hour yet to be fixed.

 able to Manage His
 Affairs.
BROTHER FILED COMPLAINT

A sensational bill was filed in the chan oery court asking for the appointment of a trustee to manage the property of A. Gil- mer Swanson. a well-known young man, and that an injunction Joe granted restrain ig him from creating any lien thereon or in any way interfering with the trustee in the management of his affairs.
 The bill was filed by John M. Swanson, brother of the respondent, who sets out that his brother is addicted to the use of intoxicants to such an extent that he is unfit to manage his estate, which is valued at $10000.
 1t is further set out and alleged that dur ing the past six months the respondent has squandered 5000 in cash and has encum- bered his estate, which consists of house and lot in Twentieth street, between Sec ond and Third avenue, and other valuable property, by placing a lien upon it.
 The various allegations are set out in de- tail as to time and amounts. and in conclu- sion the Dill prays that the property be placed in the hands of a trustee, and that the respondent be enjoined and restrained from mortgaging, selling or creating any lien or debt upon the property, and that he also be enjoined from interfering &ith the management of the estate.
 The bill was filed through Denson & Tan ner, attorneys for the petition, and on the execution of bond in the sum of $1,OOO, a temporary injunction in accordance with the pray was granted.
 In compliance with the statutes, notice of the injunction has been recorded in the probate office giving a description of the property and as warning to purchasers.
 The parties to the suit prominent cit izens, the respondent having only recently come into share of large estate left by his father, who died several years ago.

 TO BEGIN IN FEW DAYS
Constructing Engineer Wade of Sisters of Charity Hospital Arrives-Work
 at St. Vincents.

]. R. Wade engineer in charge of con- struction of the Sisters of Charity hospitals here and at Nashville and Mobile, arrived from Nashville yesterday, and will be ready to begin work on the annex at St. Vincents within the next two or three days. Six hundred thousand brick will be used in this building. The work will be done by day labor under the direct super intendence of MT Wade, and will be puSh- ed forward as rapidly as possible.
 The smokestaek of the annex will be a massive structure It will De ninety+five feet high, and will carry the smoke far above the top of the central building.
 MT. Wade, who has made d special study of the science of ventilation, says that a great ter advance has been made in hospital ventilation in the past two years than had says it has been only recently, in fact, that architects and practical engineers have agreed upon the true principles of hospital ventilation-principles which, when applied, make it impossible for germs of disease to be carried from one room to another.
 Work on the main building at St. Vim cents is progressing satisfactorily, and in a few weeks, or few months at most the Sisters of Charity will take possession.
 After the hospital is opened much will remain to be done in the way of improving the grounds In order to raise money for this work the ladies of Birmingham are organizing for grand bazaar to be held in May

CHORUS REHEARSALS
Slight Changes Made Necessary by
 Certain Conditions

In view of the fact that the Treble Clef club concert takes place tonight, the part rehearsal for the tenors and basses of the May festival chorus which Is usually set for Thursday night, was held last night.
 The "Meistersinger" music which has been considered uncommonly difficult, was care fully studied, and when the rehearsal clos ed every man in the chorus was quite pro- ficient in his part.
 There will be part rehearsal Saturday for sopranos and altos. MT. Guckenberger believes that at the full rehearsal next Tuesday night the 'Meisersinger' the finale of the third act wil be almost as smooth sly sung as would be demanded in a public performance.
 Inc chorus is larger this year than 1t was last It includes at least 160 voices. As the chorus has mastered Part I of Eli jah," which is the only part ito be per- formed at the festival, it was not rehearsed last Tuesday, most of the time being given to the "Mestersinger' and Max Bruck's g cantata, Flair Ellen."

"When Postum Cereal Coffee first came out, 1 was glad to begin the use of it and stop coffee. for l had long been convinced that my sick headaches Qrom which had suffered for seventeen years) were caused more or less by coffee drinking. The head- aches vanished like magic after the use of Postum was begun, and I can truthfully say that the first box of Postum Cereal Coffee did me more good than all the head ache powders and other cures for that dis ease that I had taken throughout the whole seventeen years of suffering.
