1t is conce led that Hugh Morton never
wrote brighter lines nor did Gustave Ker'

are to be found in THE Telephone Girl"
the familiar comedy which is TO open a
weeks engagement at the Avenue Thea
ter Sunday afternoon. For this season
an entirely new cast has been engaged,
but in no wise less expensive one. To
make New York Casino attraction 90,
clever people must interpret it. Although
it is to be presented at popular prices, the
entertainment, it is said, is just as costly
as was before

now announced that for Christmas week
such well-known vaudeville stars as
Louise Willis Hepner and George Austin
Moore will entertain the audiences at this
theater between the acts. This means
that the Temple will be packed to the
doors every day next week, for vaudeville
stars like Miss Hepner and Moore are not
to be had at "any old price" Miss
Hepner is just back from a triumphal
tour through Australia. She is booked
to appear in all the big cities of this
country, as she did last year, but by
special arrangement with the Vaudeville
Syndicate the management of the Temple
was able to secure her services for Christ
mas week. George Austin Moore, who
will also do a vaudeville turn, is probably
the funniest man ever seen on the stage
in this country. In addition to these at
fractions the stock company will present.
that superb comedy-drama, Devils
Mine" 1t will be we'll for patrons of
the Temple to remember that the curtain
will rise promptly at O'Clock in the
afternoon and at night at 8 O'Clock.
Daily matinees will be given throughout
Christmas week.

The Imperial Burlesquers" is the
selection for Christmas week at the
Buckingham Theater. This show made
big hit in Louisville last season. In
fact the great success Of the company
caused Manager Williams to add many
expensive novelties to the already gigan-
tic company. The young manager is a
believer in having every thing up-to-date,
consequently he has had complete new
set of music written for the two burlettas.
new set of costumes, new scenery and
new electric effects have also been added.
The two burlesques, "On the Beach"
and "McNally's Reception" are the
titles of the burlettas and they introduce
about the swiftest set of people ever seen
at this theater. The burlesques are
really funny, a word that can seldom be
applied to the heart-breaking attempts
at this style of shows that usually pre-
cede and follow the regular specially
acts on the programme. These skits are
funny because there is some semblance
in the general madness and Just enough
thread of plot to give it interest. The
curtain-raiser is termed ION the Beach. 4"
1t is a hilarious affair. with an abundance
of song dance, witticism and general
jolli6cation. The first part will be fol-
lowed by an olio of vaudeville turns"
The finish is a burlesque named
"McNaIly's Reception 1t is up-to-date
all the way through and introduces the
t. tire company.

Straight From the Shoulder.

Auditor Cole received this inquiry:
Would it be violation, either of the
letter or spirit of the resident agents
law for an outside local fire insurance
agent to write Mississippi business if
policy is countersigned by Mississippi
local agent?"
And he promptly made this reply:
I'm my opinion it would be va viola
ton Of that law. 1t was clearly in
tended that all policies or contracts OF
insurance of any kind upon property in
Mississippi should be placed and writ
ten by licensed agent residing in this
State, who should collect the premiums
and report the transactions to his com
pany. Mississippi would thus be cred
tied with the business, while if the
policy was merely countersigned by
Mississippi agent, the transaction would
be reported and accounted for by the
outside agent, who placed and wrote
the policy and collected the premium.
Mississippi would not be credited with
the premium, but if loss of the prop
erty occurred it would be charged
against the State. The countersigning
of policy by local agent is . subte-
fuge-an evasion of the law"

WAS NOT ASKED AGAIN.
One Occasion When the Piety of a
Michigan Politician Was Not
Conspicuous.

M. E. Chttenden, the Michigan politician
who died recently, dearly loved joke His
own initials, IN. Z. c., he always insisted,
stood for Methodist Episcopal church, which
organization, could it have secured him,
would have acquired very lively member.
Mart" as Mr.. Chttenden was familiarly
called, relates the Chicago Chronicle, par.
TALLY lost his hearing some years ago and
communication with him thereafter was one
of the fine arts. Being the agent of
the Standard Oil company for large terri
tory, he travelled considerably, and on GER
tain occasion fell in with a couple of friends
at Hllsdale, who invited him to go with them
to dinner at the house of a resident &C.
quaintance. One of them quietly said to the
host: "Mr. Chittenden is an exceedingly
pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You must invite him to
ask the blessing.
Accordingly, when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the
blessing?"
Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in a
listening attitude he responded in tone
more decided than unctuous:
1--WE grown so ALFRED deaf lately that if
you've got anything to say to me you'll have
to say it devilish loud"
A roar from the two friends disclosed to
Chittenden and the astonished host that
they had been the victims of practical joke.
But Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he un-
derstood what had happened.

THEIR EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
the Outlays of n Bishop and
Drummer.

At the Methodist general conference re-
Gently held in Chicago certain members,
both lay and clerical, freely criticised the
large expense accounts of some of the bish-
ops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They
were charged with extravaganza, and told
that they had no right to live like princes
while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has
felt personally .aggrieved by these criticisms,
and has published reply. He declares that
his1own annual travelling expenses average
less than $3.50. The bishops bill certainly
looks modest. He states that commercial
traveller to whom he showed his account
"laughed long and loud" and said: "The
house for which work allows me eight
dollars day for travelling expenses" This
comparison PROFESSIONALLY is most favora-
BILE to the bishop. One il reminded, how
ever, that there are certain necessary items
of heavy expenditure to the account of a
successful drummer which arg Escaped by an
itinerant bishop. If Bishop .McCabe were
obliged to treat his constituents as literally
and as frequently as the average CONNER.
cial traveller he might find an allowance Of
eight dollars per day none too ample.

"Our Capital CITY,"

The Tupelo Journal makes the fol-
lowing timely and appreciated sugges-
tons:
The entire State seems gratihed to note
the improvements taking place in our CAPT
tai city. The changes going ON there will
soon transform Jackson into real modern,
up-to-date city, if the good work goes on.
The progress going on in every quarter de-
mands that our capitol shall make and keep
step with improvements elsewhere, and it
seems from reports that she is alive to tho
demands upon her. There was never q
time in her history when the future prom
ised SO much, and we hope to see her ac-
cept every opportunity to advance with
the rest Of the State. The capital should
be pride to every citizen, and it should
be the object of her business men and capi-
talists to transform her into such a city
that the entire people will feel an interest
in her upbuilding and support"
