1.-THE PLAY~
G9G GG0GSGGGSe9 e9Esf2sS93S@

Two large and fashionable audiences greeted "A Runaway Girl'' at O'Brien opera house yesterday afternoon and last night, and thoroughly enjoyed the splendid musical novelty, which easily takes rank with the best attractions that have visited Birmingham during the season.
 The real merit of "A Runaway Girl Is in it's catchy easy-going, rollicking airs and funny situations rather than the plot, which serves merely as slender cord to ho!d to- gether big bundle of fun and merry-mak- ing.
 The lively comedy was presented by the full strength of the Daily company, headed by James T. Powers and Marie Celeste, ana the presentation was all that could be de- sired Dull moments were as chaH before the wind, and during the entire performarce a pretty strong breeze was kept oiowihg' Powers is a whole show in himself, and ms antics kept the audience in roar. His pickaninny song with Elsa Ryan, as well as others by this splendid team, were ex- cellent. Interest centers chiefly around Winnifred Grey, a pretty runaway girl who was admirably portrayed by Marie Ce- leste. a charming little actress.
 The chorus is large and well trained; the staging and costumes magnificent, ana the girls pretty and shapely making altogether a combinatio rarely excelled on the south- ern stage

ANNIE KERDRICK WALKER,
The Luxury of Old Fashion Log Fires

lHC EuAutY ol Oi0 oShtOb wy fSS
 "A few afternoons ago." said woman yesterday, q dropped in to see an old friend. and in the library where I was ushered, was at once impressed with the unusual cosiness of the room, to which declared later on to my friend. was due to the great logs that were blazing in the grate It was not an open fireplace, and consequently the burning logs were real ly surprise, but the grate was unusually large, and admitted of a number of logs that were burning away in that cheery and, what I call an aristocratic way. One always associates burning logs and brass andirons together, but I assure you that this log fire in the open grate was most cheerful sight to greet one on gloomy, penetrating afternoon.
 "'What luxury, I exclaimed to my friend, 'or rather what aristocratic extrav- agance to be burning wood and she agreed with me that 1t was a luxury. She then told me that she had just returned from one of her plantations and that she had so greatly enjoyed the log fires that were kindled in her room, and that if She could have her own way about it, she would use NOS'-N' be brought from her plantations. We real ly deplored the fact that the plantations were not in close proximity to Birming- ham, that we might once more enjoy the luxury of the log fires. And while we were speaking of the good old days, and almost imagining that they had come back, as we gazed into the glowing fire, one of the servants appeared in the doorway with huge back log,' and inquired if it was needed; and really to make the picture more realistic We said to fetch it in, a1d as she placed it almost revereaty ta its proper position, and the fire sent out little sparks on being stirred, I recalled num- berless similar pictures when back logs had been brought in the dear old home stead in which I was reared. The incident recalled to both our minds other days when wood fires had not been re1ega;ed to the past, and we chatted of old times for an hour more and when, finally, l arose to say goodby, the core of the great logs still glowed richly"

The Evil Eye

The dramatic critic of the Brooklyn Standard Union wrote of "The Evil Eye" ''There is as much genuine fun fin The Eyfl Eye as in anything seen on the stage in Brooklyn for long time. The twin mutes, Mid and Nod, who are so consptcu- ous in the piece, are the very incarnation of m.solltef and superb acrobats. The9r makeup is inEmitable Their feats and antics kept the audience in roar aasf night. Scores of Imaginable incidents follow the plot. There is mechanical revolving efre'5t in the first act which is marvel. F There is not a dull moment in the piece. It is we'll staged; the costumes are hand some, the dancing and singing are good; fhe acrobat feats are immensely amusing; the music is stately and the scenery and mechac.lcal effects are of extraordinary excellence. The play ought to be popular favorite and judging by last nights au- dfeGlce it wild be-

board got the first inkling of Secretary

meeting. The matter was brought to it's
attention by the First National Bank.
The board was amazed and Immediately
began an investigation, appointing a

Dowie expressed himself concerning
the prince of Wales as follows:
Some day I suppose this son of his
mother will become king. England does
not deserve such distinction. Could he
get the crown on his merits? Would the
people elect him il this were republic?
Certainly not! The British people
wouldn't vote for man whose highest
ambition is to breed the winner of the
Zig llStl \ l>SIDy
The general overseer claims to think
that the archbishop of Canterbury
would render service to the church of
England by resigning. He asked: What
good do this archbishop and his associ-
late dignitaries accomplish? They are
amiable men. no doubt; but they
amount to nothing. They are indolent
and impotent. If We're archbishop of
Canterbury the ritualistic nonsense of
the church of England wouldn't last

press men as literary Hooligans' and
affirmed that the newly elected members
