GAVE THE "MIKADo."

 Miss Miles was transformed into the charming little oriental brunette, Yum Yum, and she made of 1t probably the most attractive role she has had this sea- son.

Miss Deas was Pftti Sing and Miss Sheppard. Peep Bo, the two remaining little maids
 MT. Ormsby appeared as the wandering minstrel Nanki Pc. and took good ad- vantage of the opportunities allowed that role by the composers. Last year 1t was said of MT. Washburn that he was one of the very best Poo Bans ever seen in Birmingham, professional or amateur. He more than sustained this reputation last night Although Pish Tush has but little to do and say, MT. Miller played that part very nicely.
 If any one of the principles made more of A hit than another last night, 1t was Koko. Harry Lightwood never worked harder for success. and 1t is doubtfui II he ever did better On the "Flowers Tat Bloom in the Spring he was recalled five times. The Mikado Is to be presented again tonight

Livingston, August 19.-(Special.)-T people of Livingston are elated just now at the prospect of having a big hotel on the west side of the square for the ac- commodation of tourists who stop to get the benefit of Livingston's famous bored welr' water. The hotel is to be built by a company which has leased the we'll from the city. and which intends to make the merits of this artesian water more widely known.
 The water has in the past demonstrat- ed that 1t possesses wonderful properties It comes to the surface of the earth from a bored well nearly twelve hundred feet deep, in steady even stream, that prom ises to last for years To one drinking the water for the first time 1t is somewhat unpleasant because of the saline taste, and because 1t is not nearly so cold as ordinary spring water. This saline taste Is due to the sodium salts the water holds in solution. It also contains magnesium, sulphur and iron in large quantities.

 In addition to the chemical salts, the Livingston water contains enough gases to make 1t ignitable. In former days a small stream of it diverted overhead was lighted in the evening and furnished enough light for after-supper drinkers to see what they were doing.
