address of welcome to the visiting

With this he also placed in Potentate

pictured in oils an ideal caravan scene

a tiger in leash is shown, led by pella-

the tired Shriners to their repose
Despite the extraordinary demonstra-
tons of Jupiter Pluvius, who believes
in celebrating whenever the Shriners
make up their minds to have good
time, the camel of the ocean desert, the
good ship Zealandia, which for the
nonce is owned body and soul by the
mystic believers of the ancient Arabic
rites Of the order, was crowded from
stem to stern with guests
Mirth and music and all that goes
to make up good fellowship, were ap-
parent on every deck. The music of the
waltz, the deux temps and the rag-time
nondescript melody put the crowd in
good humor. Not a moment was lost,
for the Shriners made the best of their
last night in Honolulu.
The visitors hurried and scurried
from deck to deck, and saw that their
local brethren did not lack for amuse-
ment. even if they had to wend their
way through maze of corridors to the
little room in the bow of the vessel
where a modern Bacchus loosened his
taps and let flow his best wishes

the walls of the Zealandia they forgot
that rain ever descended upon the fail
shores of Hawaii, and entered into the
gayety which prevailed. No special
committee of the Mystics was appoint
ed, but each man was a committee him
self.

"At the White Horse Tavern"

The opinion seems to prevail that the
patrons of the Jefferson theater are to have
a rarely good thing in the engagement of
cat the White Horse Tavern next Thurs
day. This comedy is from the German
I'm Weissen Roessl' was adapted for
Daniel and Charles Frohman by Sydney
Rosenfield, who has been unusually sue
cessful, it is said, in preserving the col
oring and atmosphere of the original The
humor of German comedy lies in the oddi-
ty of the characters and in the unexpected
relations into which they are brought.
Each character in AT the White Horse
Tavern" is said to be a portrait picture
of a real person, with an individualism
quite eccentric of his own. The auditors.
it is said, do not laugh at these people in
the Tyrol; they laugh with them. That is
because they are permitted to understand
them, to appreciate their motives, to SYM
pathize with them. Among the quaint
people in the play is the thrifty Tyrolean
widow with a tinge of sentimentalism in
her makeup. The masculine counterpart
to the ovable, buxom hostess is the head
waiter, thrifty lover with an eye to the
main chance, and subject to violent pangs
of jealousy. A funny conception is the
character of the grouchy lamp manufac-
turer, who has won his way by buster, and
whom nothing satisfies. Quite another
sort is the dear old doctor of philology,
who, by the most pinching economy, is
able to take trip every fuorth year with
his lisping daughter. There are other un-
usual character studies in this play of the
Austrian Alps, but space is too limited to
attempt any enumeration of them ALL 1t
is a play that requires splendid character
acting and Daniel and Charles Frohman
have company that provides twenty-six
speaking parts, every one requiring a
player of marked ability to give it proper
consideration. The principals in the cast
are Frederic Bond, Carolyn Clawson, Char
lotte Crane, Fred Summerfield, Louis AL
bion, Charles Hanford Della Clarke.
George Friend Mrs. ]. Elberts, David Ell
mer, Duncan Harris, Alma Ayers, Esta-
brooke Galloway, Charles II. Booth and
Cora Ardell.

ENORMOUS SUM
OF MONEY COMING
To- Alabama to be Invested in
Mineral Lands and Fur
naceS and Mills.

w. Fl. Skaggs has returned from Chicago
and will remain in Birmingham several
days With his family and relatives
Mr.. Skaggs has recently closed a deal
with an English syndicate by which the
mineral lands in Alabama, a portion of
which is located in the Birmingham dis
trict Mr.. Skaggs stated yesterday that
while the deal had been closed and that the
syndicate was one of the strongest in Eng
land, still he did not feel justified In giving
out the details at present.
He said the sale of the lands meant great
things for Birmingham and the mineral
district of Alabama. 1t is in contempla-
ton by the company to develop the prop
critics as soon as practicable, and in doing
this an enormous sum of money will be
invested in addition to the purchase price
of the lands. Among the industrials that
have been considered by the purchasers are
pig iron furnaces and mills for working
the iron into the finished products.
