 Mr. William Morris, who for more than five years was Charles Frohman's leading man with the Empire Stock and Lyceum companies in New York, has fittingly chos- en Mr. Anthony Hopes famous comedy drama, "The Adventure of Lady Ursula" for starring tour this season. Anthony Hope is perhaps one of the most noted writers of the present time, and his great est success up to the time "The Adventure of Lady Ursula" was produced was 'rhe Prisoner of Zenda." Of the actors today who are starring on their own account, Mr. Morris Is one of the youngest. Few men have made the rapid strides of this talented actor, who in early life climbed to the top rung of the ladder in his chosen profession MT. Morris. during his con- nection with the Frohman stock companies, thoroughly ingratiated himself into the feelings of the theatre-goers of the prin- cipaI cities of the country. Today he dtubt- less enjoys as large following as any star in the country.
 Mr Morris has had his training in the companies of the best actors in America. and has played all kinds of rofes-ranging from comic opera to Shakespearian tragedy. After three seasons with the Boston Mus cum Stock company he joined Robson x Crane in '"The Comedy of Errors during the season of 1S79-S0. The two seasons fol- lowing he was in the English company that supported the famous Italian tragedian, Sig. Rossl, during his tour of this country. He was with one of the Madison Square "Hazlo Kirke" companies in 1884 and the following season he passed in touring South America and the West Indies During the season of 1SS7-SS he supported Mme Modjes- ka, and became her leading man before the close of the season, during which ne achieved much success as Romeo, Bene- diet, Armand Duval, Don Caesar and other silimar roles. In December. 1888, he again visited the West Indies. taking an Amer ican company under his own management, playing a repertoire that ranged from Hamlet to '"The Chimes of Normandy" His next engagement was with Charles Frohman under whose management he dis tinguished himself by pronounced success in -"Men and Women" "The Girl I Left Be- hind Me-" and more recently when he starred in "The Lost Paradise" and "Un- der the Red Robe" The greatest triumph perhaps of MT. Morris career has been scored this season as Sir George Sylvester in .'The Adventure of Lady Ursula" The earnest. artistic and finished manner in which MT. Morris enacts this role. gives it powerful strength and places 1t among the most picturesque characters of the stage within the past decade. It is undoubtedly MT. Morris most worthy endeavor
 '"The Adventure of Lady Ursula" will be at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday night

COFFEE VS. PREACHER
People Poisoned by Coffee Should
 Leave It Off"

q have been a great coffee thinker for years and 1t has kept me in bilious con- dition, with more or less neuralgia, as the result of general ill-health produced by coffee drinking. I have discovered that coffee is a rank poison to my system. Since we have been using Postum Cereal Food Coffee, we not only find it a delightful bev- craze, with all the good qualities of coffee, but it has none of the injurious effects.
 'eAny person suffering from nervous troubles, caused by the poison of coffee, should be able to get rid of the sickness in short order if such a one will leave off the cause and take up Postum Food Coffee. There has been no coffee used in our home for a considerable time.
 "PeopIe who are poisoned by coffee should leave 1t off. because when one sins against his body. he dishonors God, for our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost It would seem that any one con- scious of the bodily distress that coffee brings, would have no trouble in leaving it off when Postum Food Coffee can be secured" Rev. John M. Linn, Pastor M E. Church, South Corpus Christi, Texas.

SETTLING WITH THE
 INSURANCE COMPANIES
Metropolitan Hotel Company VIII Receive SIO,80O. 10 Per Cent. Less Than
 Face Value of its Policies.

The Metropolitan Hotel company, which recently suffered almost total loss by fire, and which carried $l2,oO0 insurance on the insurance companies at 10 per cent. less than it's policies read.
 The following companies have paid the amounts agreed upon, being 10 per cent less than the items set opposite their names:
 Phoenix of Brooklyn. .. ..... .... .T 000 British American of Toronto. ......... 3,000 Williamsburg City,. ... ... =. =. ... 1000 Southern Mutual of Birmngham..... 800
 Iotai.... ...... .$J ,500
 The following companies have approved the terms of settlement, and will remit in a few days:
 American Fire of New York. .. :. ..S1, ,5Oo Niagara Fire of New York;. ... O.. 2,O00
 Total... =. ... ... ... -. ...$3 5c0
 The Commercial Union Assurance com pany of London for $500 and the Aetna of Hartford for 1,OOO each expressed their willingness to settle on the same basis as the others, leaving only one company, the Netherland Fire Insurance company, for -vv0, ito hear from. This latter company had also insured E. Lesser's individual property for $1,oO0. When the Netherland settles and provided it pays in the same proportion the others, the hotel com pany will have received in full $d0,S00
 There was a contention Cn the part of thsdnsurance people about the gasoline that was stored in the house at the time of the fire, February 23. Former policies held by President Lesser contained a clause al- lowing certain amount of gasoline to toe stored on the premises, but it seems that renewal policies were issued with the gaso- line clause left out, presumably by mis- take MT. Lesser says he had been under the impression that it was in the new pol- cles. Rather '.--an go to law about it the motel company consented to the above com promise. Soon after the fire the insurance agents insisted that 1t was the result of A gasoline explosion, but this contention was aftenward abandoned. The facts remained that several gallons of the stuff were stored in the house and that the policies were written without any mention of gasoline.

125 white and 300 colored men with my friends in the convention. In precinct 2l there is no shadow of a doubt as to the result. My friends will not submit to the loss of these precincts by a farcieai, sham and infamous pretext of a contest. I have also carried Pratt City, Blossburg Jones' boro. Gate City, East Lake. North Bir- mingham, Union. Flat Creek Brookside, Woodward, Parkwood, Trussvlle. Johns and half dozen country precincts with out a bolt or double delegation.
 Tn Woodlawn and Avondale precinct the delegation was equally divided. At Besse- mer W. H. Harney, chairman of the pre- cinet, was assaulted by two or three white mon, knocked down, arrested by a police- man and taken from the convention hall to cell in the city jail in order that the op- position might get up bolt in Bessemer precinct. There is no better man in Ala bama than old man Harney, even if he is a negro, and the colored people of the state VIII be greatly outraged by this assault upon him. After this attack upon him the republicans of the precinct, to save further bloodshed, went to another hall and held a convention, which instructed the delegates to the county convention for me.
 My friends have carried Jefferson coun- ty overwhelmingly, and the boasts that I would lose the county have been answered by my friends in most emphatic way
 ''I want to thank my friends. white and black, in this county for the splendid en- dorsement they have given me today.''
 Other Claims
 T H. Miller. secretary of the Vaughan campaign committee, said last night "rhe action of Jefferson, Dallas and Lee coun- ties gives Vaughan to date a total vote in the state convention of 154 to 7S for Bing ham, and If contested"
 John Towers, assistant postmaster. said Our home people today had splendid op portunity to judge for themselves of the injustice and baselessness of the claims made by the Birmingham Times. As goes Jefferson county, so goes the state."
 William Moseley Bailey, nephew of pr. R. A. Moseley said: Beat 37 went prae tically unanimously for Vaughan. We had twenty-five good Vaughan men for every Bingham man. Out of 400 or 800 men in the hall not more than sixteen or eighteen were for Bingham"
