BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
 FOR METHOD|STS pr. McFerrin'S Sermon Was Ex- ceptionaIIy AbIe-Choir's
 Admirable Work

The services at the First Methodist Church yesterday morning were deeply inn pressive, the Rev. Dr. McFerrin's sermon on Environment" being an exceptionally able effort and the music of the choir, under MT. Guckenberger's direction, being beautiful in selection and artistic in rendi- tion.
 The musical numbers included Dudley Bucks Te Deum in minor; a soprano solo by Mrs Chandler, My Redeemer and My God from Bucks prize composition Golden Legend" and an alto solo by Mrs Guckenberger with chorus, 'Hark, Hark My Soul' (Shelley).
 Both Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Gucken- berger were in fine voice and never per haps sang with better effect, while the chorus acquitted itself with great credit The ensemble of the choir was excellent, and in attack and shading gave evidence of careful and intelligent rehearsal.
 In the noble Te Deum there was pleas ing innovation, with singularly good ef- feet, when all the voices in pianissimo uni son accompanied a soulful melody on the organ, well played by Miss Belle Mccoy the voice accompaniment working up to d splendid fortissimo climax on the word Heaven
 At the evening service the choir pro- gramme included Bucks 70 Sing Unto the Lord Greely's alto song, Come Unto the Land of Rest" and Mendelssohn's How Long O Lord Wilt Thou Forget Me"
 The choir is composed of the following singers: Sopranos = Mrs. E. G. Chandler Miss Josie Praytor, Miss Adelne Bos- tick, Miss Sadie Malum, Miss Gertrude Woolley, Miss Phillips, Miss Ethel Erwin and Miss Hill. Altos-Mrs. B. Guckenber- ger, Miss Mary E.

WOMAN WOUNDED
 BY AN |CE WAGON
Miss Lulu Henry of Pratt City the ViCt!m-The Driver
 Seems BIameIeSs

Yesterday afternoon Miss Lula Henry of Pratt City was run into by an ice wagon of the Birmingham Ice Factory, in Egh- teenth street, near the post office She was somewhat bruised, but not seriously. hurt.
 Miss Henry, it seems, got off the Ensley car near the post office as the car was coming south She walked behind the dashboard of the rear platform intending to cross to the opposite sidewalk, but just as she emerged from behind the car, an ice wagon going north at the usual rate of speed ran into her, knocking her down. The driver did not see her in time to stop. When he saw that he had run into a white woman he became frightened, and fearing that he might be mobbed whipped up his horses and drove off.
 Miss Henry was picked up and carried into the Alabama Hotel in Eighteenth street, where she was resting easily at last accounts.

The city jail facili- ties are entirely inadequate White men have to be locked up with negroes, and the police have to improvise jail upstairs for women. One white man Sunday lay in jail sick, while the negroes bamshed all thoughts of rest or sleep by singing.

Trained Animal Show.

With Norris & Rowe's Big
Trained Animal shows, which will
exhibit in the city next Wednes-
day afternoon and night, under
their large waterproof tents, which
will be located at Kings high
school ground is a stage struck"
canine, who answers to the name
of Hamlet. The dog is cross
between a "Yallar" and cur dog,
but is particularly bright and af-
fectionate. Hamlet Joined out"
with the show at New Westmins-
ter last season of his own volition
The dog was noticed around the
tents all day with a sort of
wish-I-waswith. the show" look
in his eye. After the performance
in the evening when the men were
loading the cars. they found Ham
let seated on the front steps of the
baggage car. They tried to make
him 60 away, but he determinedly
remained where he was seated and
the endeavors of the men to get
him to go, were of 10 avail, so as
last resort they placed him inside
with the other dog actors. Ham
let made friends of his canine
companions and was soon the fav-
orite of all the attaches. He was
taken in hand by Prof. Norris and
he showed willingness and apti-
tude for learning tricks that was
nothing short of phenomenal.
Hamlet is now one of the star per-
formers with Norris & Rowe's
shows. Unlike the other dogs he |
is given the freedom of the tents;
can go and come when he pleases,
but Hamlet never abuses the con-
fidence put in him. He is a great |
dog and no mistake.

OLD SUITS ARE DISMISSED.
TownsItes Along the Frisco are
now open for Settlement.

A special from Muskogee SAYS:
Matters of much interest have re-
Gently taken place with regard to
towns on the Frisco extension,
which is being built from Sapulpa,
l. t.. to Denison, Tex. 1t will be
remembered that suits nave been
brought in the United States
courts of the southern district. In
dian Territory. to prosecute those
who had been selling town lots on
the Frisco extension, especially
in the Chickasaw nation.
Through the influence of Solici-
tor Parker of the Frisco and Den
mis- Flynn of Oklahoma, both of
whom recently called on Secretary
Hitchcock and Assistant Secretary
Ryan in Washington, these suits
have been dismissed at the request
of the secretary. Under law pass
ed some time ago, railroads were
given the right to locate stations
and townsiteS NOT closer to one
another than ten miles along their
lines in Indian Territory. To
avoid confusion, Chairman Bixby
of the Dawes commission, and So
licitor Parker recently went over
the line Of the Frisco extension
and agreed upon the location of
the townsites, the names of which
have been heretofore given in
these dispatches. The railroad
towns will be the government
towns and the new townsites will
be surveyed and plated and the
town lots sold at public auction.
Those who have already bought
lots and improved them in the
towns which had already been es-
tablished will have the first right
to purchase them at >one-half OF
their appraised value. Most of the
towns will be Immediately incor-
porated under the incorporation
laws of Arkansas. which are in
force in the Indian Territory.
