Another wave of applause swept over the

AMUSE MENTS.

The brilliant presentation of Hall Gaines powerful play, "The Christian" which marked the opening of the Jefferson Thea ter on March last, was repeated last night with even more success from a strictly dramatic view point, although the environ ments of that memorable occasion were lacking. Fife Elsler, Glory QuayIe of last seasons company, whose almost faultless acting was somewhat marred by her age and statue, was replaced by Miss Julia Stuart, whose interpretation was well nigh perfect. As an actress Miss Stuart is natural and easy. She possesses a voice of marvellous sweetness, which intensifies her characterization of the simple Manx girl whom Caine has so cleverly drawn She is fully adequate to the part and her conception has been most favorably com pared to Viola Allen, the original star.
 In the famous scene in the third act, when John Storm enters her apartments determined to kill her, she rose to the height of her dramatic ability, and both she and MT. Adams received a 1ull measure of recognition at the hands of the audience
 MT. Coville, as John Storm, of last sea- sons company, was replaced by Lionel Adams, young actor who, in this role, is winning fresh laurels for himself. The role is intensely dramatic and MT. Adams was equal to the task at every point. His interpretation of the powerful and complex character which embodies a strong trinity of human qualities, the ideal man, the ideal lover and the ideal priest was earn est and painstakng, and, above all, satis- flying.
 Charles Rowan, as Lord Robert Ure who was member of the Viola Allen Company, was excellent, and while the character did not give him the same scope, at no time did he fail to take advantage of every op- portunity. The company is without ex- ception one of the best that has visited Birmingham and should be greeted by large audiences at the matinee this after

LOPEZ REPLIES ID PROF, SCHURMANN Comes Back at the Commissioner With aLelter Defending
 His Position

Boston, November 5.-Senor Sixto Lopez today gave out the following statement in reply to that recently made by President Jacob G. Schurman of the Philippine Com mission
 President Schurman has formulated what is said to be the reply to my open let ter to him. I had pointed out that he had cruelty and carelessly,' but believe 'un- intentionally misrepresented the condition and degree of education in the Philippines l showed by facts within my own personal knowledge that there were 4S8 teachers in my own province of Batangas, or one to each 639 inhabitants, whereas Dr. Schurman had reported that there were only 31 teach CTS or one to each 10,072 inhabitants. pointed out that the condition in Batangas obtained throughout the whole archipelago with the exception of central MidenaD- l stated further the fact that the Filipinos are an educated people. which is practically admitted by Dr. Schurmap and by a;1 classes and conditions of men. To ali this and other matters of education Dr. Schur- man furnishes no reply and expresses no regret at his cruel misrepresentati tiop. which he practically admits by his inability .9 deny or controvert the facts.
 Instead of furnishing any reply he t.7Tl.s upon me with tirade of utterly irrelevant and cratic statements about the alleged savage and disunited condition of the F1l- ipinos and he makes the most unwarranted assertions that I do not deny that the Fflipinos are uneducated and ignorant.'
 He further declares that l. by inference admit the truth of everything fin his report whereas in my several letters and state- ments to the American press have spe- cihaally denied practically everything he says I admit.

Matthews & Bulger's new musical com edy, which will be seen for the first time at the Jefferson Theatre tomorrow night, was first produced by this company in San Francisco at the California Theatre on the 9th of August. In speaking of the initial performance we quote verbatim from the Chronicle of that city: "The new farce comedy went through with remarkable smoothness, and 1t kept a large audience well amused for three hours. The value of 1t as vehicle for Matthews & Bulger and the others seemed to be quite crude. The Night of the Fourth Is not a hack neyed Idea; 1t has at present some of the old and always popular business and spe- cialties. But quite strong showing of new songs and dances and amusing stage work have already been arranged. There Is great chance for more in the Summer Rest HoteP scene, and the principal char acters are the iceman, the lawyer and the detective, as well as in the sanitarium act, which went almost best last night al- though 1t is comparatively undeveloped They are such clever people, Matthews & Bulger, Walter Jones, Tony Hart, Phil H. Ryley, Josie Dewitt, Bessie Tannehill, Ed lyn Estee, Wiseman's Serenaders and & score of others, that, entertaining as 1t Is now, when next we see 1t we shall prob- ably not recognize 1t as the same piece The lines are bright and original, and quite clever humor Is shown In the conception and the working out of the plot. It will do a big week, and 1t Is likely we shall not see such combination of farce comedy people for long time again."

 MT. Pincus seems to think that the sem sational features of the programme are largely responsible for this. This consists of scenes from grand opera - either Faust" "Lohengrin' or "Carmen"-given by Noldi, Boyden, Zerni, Xanten, Alberti, Veron, and a spectacular anvil piece, in which red-shirted anvil beaters electric anvils, lowered lights, a church organ, church choir, singing birds and other de- scriptive effects are prominent features
 These numbers had jumped into an im- mense popularity during the long summer engagement of the band down at Atlantic City. Those who heard these special feat ures went away and talked about them, and MT. Innes has struck a popular lead by placing them on his tour programmes.
