OPERA STILL POPULAR.
Bohemian Girl at LakevieW Drawing
 Large Crowds.

Bohemian Girl' was again the attrac- ton at Lakeview last night and again drew a large house of thoroughly appre ciative listeners. The tragic parts of the opera were watched with intense interest, while the popular airs in which the opera abounds were cordially received.
 Judging from the audiences applause, MT Washburn's solo, "A Heart Bowed Down." was the most appreciated of the performance. It is a melancholy song and an extremely difficult one to sing, but MT. Washburn's rendition was so full of feeling and dramatic intensity that the audience could not but show its ap- preciation. His role throughout the opera is handled in the same effective manner.
 It is difficult to go into detail. So many of the numbers are features, they all may be summed up as making an extremely at tractive entertainment.
 Bohemian Girl'' will be the attraction again tonight. Special inducements are still being offered by the management for engaging reserved seats in advance by having them on sale all day at Parkers

COUNTRY PRODUCE.
Market Bare of Potatoes and Price Ad-
 vances-Watermelon

, The wholesale country produce market was active yesterday. Chickens were in quick demand, the best friers bringing from 20 cents to 22 cents. Small chick ems sold as low as 10 cents, though 1212 cents Is the ruling quotations for the smallest sizes.
 Eggs were dull at 10 cents. Receipts were light
 Cabbage is fairly brisk at cents per pound. Other vegetables were only mod erately active.
 The feature of the market yesterday was the scarcity of potatoes. The mar ket indeed was practically bare. The home crop is about exhausted and ship pers were asking more than jobbers were willing to pay. They are quoted here at s1 per bushel, but the lowest price quoted by shippers was $1.20, which was de-. clned.
 Watermelons were in good supply, with prices unchanged-5 cents to 15 or 16 cents. Georgia melons will begin to pour in, it is thought, by Friday or Satur- day.

AFTER THE MIGRANTS,
Chief of Police Will Try to Stop the
 Burglaries.

Chief of Police Austin and his depart ment have begun a crusade against va grants, and with the elimination of this class of people it is hoped to cut down the percentage of burglaries.
 Chief Austin had long talk with Judge Feagin of the Inferior Criminal Court, and he explained that the numerous bur glaries indirectly, and in many cases di- rectly, resulted from the large number of vagrants who at present form part of the population of Birmingham. Judge Feagin agreed with Chief Austin, and it was de- cided to at once begin war on the ''gen- tlemen of leisure" both white and black.
 The police department has determined to put an end to the burglaries which have become so numerous. and will take the first step by taking up the vagrants.
