They would not let their ambitions pc crushed by an indifference to art on the part of Birmingham, but they believed that Birmingham wouldsupport an art school, and that now was an ausplclous time to open it.

but to change the subject I asked Miss Powell why she went on the stage. It is almost impossible to steer away from that silly little remark. It was then that she told me that she was a Ward Semi nary girl. She has only been on the stage two seasons, and in this time she has added to the long list of beautiful society women from the South who are stage favorites.

In the notable tour of Nat Goodwin and Max inc Elliott in the spring Miss Powell was a member of the company.
 When Boyle and Edwards leased the Birmingham Auditorium Miss Powell was at once offered the position of lead- ing lady in the stock company She con- siders a stock company the very best of dramatic schools. The history of many of the greatest stage favorites prove thls statement to be true.

A stock company to play through the entire season Is new Ven- ture in Birmingham. But Birmingham is sufficiently cosmopolitan to support a stock company. It may not like Miss Powell in the role of Sue Eudaly. but she has forty other roles in which she will appear during the season. But even the most blase theater-goer likes the Zazas and Carmens, and Birmingham is nothing if not blase.

BY ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER.

Wards Seminary in Nashville seems to be the only school of dramatic art in the South. I do not know whether Kitty Cheatham of Nashville, who Is literally setting the Thames on fire, was Ward girl, but there is pretty Sandol Milllken, who created such a furor in society here a season or two age, and now Edna Pow ell, the young leading lady of the Ed wards & Boyle Stock company which opens the season at the Audito- riuIn tomorrow evening, refers affection ately to the dear old days at Wards Whenever I put that very commonplace little question to a Southern girl of why she drifted to the stage. l should be dis appointed she did not immediately con- fess that she went to school at Wards.
 If all the stage favortes are half as charming as either Miss Cheatham. Miss Milil1en or Miss Powell, this famous sem mary for young women would not want a better advertisement.

But one should be accustomed to waiting for lead ing ladies' One has been known to wait for them through oyertures of rag time. The moments always seem longer than they really are.
 Miss Powell is cast for the part of Sue Eudaly in "Blue Jeans" We discussed the Eudaly women even more lnan we did Miss Powell. 1t is not often that woman charming and fascinating as Miss Powell will discuss for q half hour another woman. Usually leading ladies prefer to talk of themselves But Miss Powell does not care particularly for the Eudely creature and probably this ac- counted for her willingness to talk about her.
 Sue Eudaly is a woman," said Miss Powell, who will never inspire any sym pathy. She is really very bad and wicked at heart and there is nothing left to do but to let her be as vicious as she seems inclined. She is a blending of Madge Laraby in Sherlock Holmes and Zaza. uSlc>is really an ignorant uneducated Za- z:i. Zaza appealed to every one. One could not but feel an intense sympathy for her. She never seemed coarse or bru- tai Sue Eudaly has much of the Zaza temperament. without the better nature. She is too emotional. She is a woman who has never known a passive moment. And yet are not women of this nature very fascinating, and are they, too, not deserving of sympathy"

London, Oct. 10.-A fairly well at

yesterday in hall in Tohenham

on the assassination of President Nc

Enrico Malatosta, the Italian anarch-
ist, who described the assassination
as "a deed OF heroism."
Kelly's lecture was a wild harangue
in denunciation of Mr.. McKinley's
political career He said that they
did not try to justify assassination,
but rather to explain it as the OUT
