Murray and Mack.

Next Thursday afternoon and night Mer- ray and Mack will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theater, appearing in their new play Shooting the Chutes" In speaking of the play the Philadelphia Evening Telc- gram says:
 Murray and Mack are a pair of Celtic comedians who aren't really whit mora original than a dozen other teams of OSe character. But they put plenty of vim and go and self-confdence in their work, which is something the others fail to do. They surround themselves with clever company ,an dthey go a-strring, and there you have Murray and Mack, who are always received with laughter. This year they have a new farce, written to order by George Emerick. It is called "Shoot- ing the Chutes." There isn't shot of the chutes in the whole play, but the scenic artist has given Mir Emerick an excuse for his title by painting a chute in the Bunco Beach scene. The farce has the semblance of plot, which isn't necessary. There are a couple of mismated marriages, a supposed New York millionaire who is in danger of being used as an angel a horse race, and that's all"

lnnes and His Band.

On Tuesday Innes and his famous band will be the attraction at the Jefferson The ater In speaking of this band, Louise Dooley in the Atlanta Constitution of Tues day says:
 If the intention of MT. Innes in the con- duct of his band is to make it sound as little possible like a brass band, then he has wonderfully succeeded; for the music of the organization he directs is as nearly like that of an orchestra as it can be in the absence of strings, and these last are not wholly wanting, for the great band master has added two bass viols to the body of instruments Innes advance in his art has been almost marvellous. From an ordinary brass band suited to perform popular music and the lesser standard works, he has converted his band into a well drilled, capable body, which inter- prets with ease, correctness and spirit, some very pretentious works.
 The afternoon programme, the numbers of which were well chosen and appropriate for matinee, was brilliantly opened with the we'll known '1Sl22--overture by Tschaikowsky It has been played here once before by the Theodore Thomas or chestra during its first engagement in At
 
 ton given 1t on that occasion, it is possibly better suited to such an organization as Ipnes.
 .fThe singers, afternoon and evening, were exceptionally good-Mr. Wilhelm Xanter Signor AIberti, Mme Noldi and Miss Boy den. Miss Boyden at matinee sang Elisa $ Dream" but not as worthily as this beau tiful Wagnerian work demands. In the .'Trovatore" scenes she was more success full MT Xanter in a solo from Faust, sang with dramatic power and sweetness of tone but a falsetto note instead of the high note near the close, which he might have transposed, marred the effect of his previous good work. Signor Alberu, In the role of Mephistopheles, sang with strength and dramatic feeling and in the Toreador song from "Carmen" his powerful barry tone was pure in tone and his phrasing notably good. Mime. Noldi, in the jewel Song" from Faust" the duet form the same apera, and from Feariatas An. fors ct lui.' was admiringly received. Her voice is clear, high and flexible, and her execution in scale and cadeniza passages was admirable

Hoyt's Comedy Company.

The Paris Daily News has the following to say of Hoyt's Comedy Company, which opens weeks engagement at popular prices at the Auditorium tomorrow even ing:
 "The biggest audience that has passed within the portals of Petersons Theatre for many a month was out last night to see the opening of a weeks engagement by Hoyt's Comedy Company at popular prices. The bill was A Man of the Peo- ple,' and long before the curtain arose ev- cry seat was occupied and standing room was scarce. This condition of affairs exist ed not only in the gallery. but in the bal cony, dress circle and parquet This is a splendid company, presenting the best plays, and it is safe to say that they will have full houses all this week. In last nights play the work of Miss Ethel Tuck CT in the title role, MT. Catterlin in the heavy part and J. H. Mack, comedian, is especially deserving of commendation No better show for dollar has been seen in this city for long, long time''

From the New York Times.
 q was very much surprised and dis appointed at the way the election turned out" said MT. Croker yester- day. q did expect MT. Bryan to be elected President of the United States"
 What do you think caused his de- feat?"
 q believe that 16 to 1 had a good deal to do with the vote against Bry- an in this State. You see, this is the money center of the country. You the people with a small sum of money in the bank were afraid of the silver business. All the small shopAeepers were the same way"
 Are you disappointed at the vote of New York?"
 Tn New York State I am surprised at the result. In New York City we did very well. Brooklyn did very we'll and the Greater New York did very well, but I am surprised at the result in the State.'
 It was suggested to MT. Croker that at Kansas City the Tammany leader forced 16 to 1 in the platform. Mr. Croker turned his head away and glanced at the picture of Mayor Van Wyck. Then he said
 Tt wasn't Bryan personally. It was the 16 to 1 business in the North ern States. What caused the defeat of MT. Bryan in other States cannot tell. I do not regard the decision of the country as adverse to MT. Bryan himself. It was against the principles.

EDUCATIONAL CONTEST.
The Aee-HeraId's Voting Contest for
 Ten Scholarships.

The Age-Herald has made arrangements with the National Correspondence School of Scranton, Pa, by which two free schol- arships will be given to those readers of the Age-Herald receiving the highest voto in the contest now in progress. The vot. ing is done by clipping coupons from issues of the Age-Herald and mailing the same to the business office.
 This plan offers splendid opportunity to young men to obtain an education in elec- trical and civil engineering, chemistry, plumbing, architectural drawing, book keeping, and so forth.
 The International Correspondence School has met with marvellous success in the educational field, as evidenced by the fact that today many thousand men are be- ing educated through this institution The plan of awarding scolarships has beek adopted by many of the leading papers of the East and West, and 1t is but fair to assume that it should be received with favor by the readers of the Age Herald.
 Below is a record of the votes received up to this time. The contest closes on the 18th of December.

It can no longer be doubted, and, the flood light of our later-day wisdom con- vinces us, that we symbolize the trinity in our physical, moral and mental or spir- itual nature and that beauty must be the development and external sign of harmoni- ous organization.
 Mental or spiritual beauty might be of the most exalted order, but it's expression must come through the physical element.
 The most learned mind or the most saint 1y character, will not excuse an uncared for or neglected body.
 It is inconsistent to cultivate beauty in everything else except self

..LOVEMAN, JOSEPH & LOEB.- The largest store South of the Ohio,' offers a special and money-saving sale of china and silverware" fo" Monday. High-class china and silver ware can be purchased at this special sale at prices unheard of heretofore in Birmingham. But "Loveman, Jo- seph & Loeb" are famed for springing sensational low priced sales" in this city. and Mondays special offerings are no exception to the general rule of this big mercantile establishment. Fine Dress Goods play prominent part in this unprecedented sale, and it is to the interest of the patrons of The Age-Herald to consult "Loveman, Joseph &, Loebs" ad. before deciding where they shall do their Mondays shopping.
 THE FERD MARK STORE.-"A Blanket Sale-a thousand pairs"-is one of the star attractions at the Ferd Marx Store for this week. good Blanket for 69 cents is not an unfair proposition when the Blanket in ques- tfon contains sufficient warmth to keep out the cold winds and frosts of November There are better ones in eiderdown, corded wool, at $15. Read the "ad" ana take your choice.
 Another Suit Sale" for this week is one of the crowning events of Mon days shopping There's no doubt about 1.-the ladies will be there, and it will be great moving day in the Ferd Marx Store. Hats are neces- sity-of course they are-how would lady look promenading on the streets bareheaded? But there's no use of this when Marx offers to sup ply a good Hat for ninety-eight cents, and a better one for $25.
 AT HIRSCH'S.-"The largest Mil linery Store in the South" offers some rare bargains Monday. New Hats are always interesting to the ladies-and the Hat is generally valued by the cost of the plume But Hirsch has them without plumes, and they are just as pretty as they can be. This popular store has some interesting store news today, and it will pay shoppers to carefully study his offerings before deciding where the fatal step" shall be made.
 AT AHEEN'S.-Caheen's extraor- dinary offerings for Monday and Tues day consist largely of greater bar gains in women's and children's un- derwear and hosiery. His advertise ment, which appears elsewhere in this issue of The Age-Herald, is an inter- esting one-nothing unusual, though, for this popular store. There are rib bed vests for the ladies ranging in price from twenty-three cents up. The z3-cent kind are good enough for any one, but, of course, the dollar ones are better. Ten cents is not an enormous price to pay for good pair of ladies hose. They come, however, as high as six dollars.
