Gertrude coghIan.

One of the notable events in the sea- sons attractions is the production of Vanity Fair" with Gertrude Coghlan as Becky Sharp. which will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre on Tuesday matinee and night. Miss Coghlan, who has just passed her 21st birthday, is by nature an actress, being the daughter of the late Charles Coghlan and a relative of the other famous footlisht favorites bear ing the name. Besides possessing the many rare talents which have been he- reditary in the family, Gertrude's father, in his desire to have her shine foremost among Americas leading actresses, de- voted much time and pains in carefully preparing her for the stage. Just prior to his death, MT. Coghlan began drama tiation of Thackeray's Vanity Fair and impressed his daughter with his wish that she would make her first appearance as star in the role of Becky Sharp Miss Coghlan has done so and her success proves to be an artist of the highest order

TWO SMALL FIRES.
Residence of G. Wilson Damaged
 Scare at Mercy Home.

The residence of G. Wilson, at No. 1912 Fourth avenue, was damaged by fire last night about 8 o'clock. How the fire originated could not be ascer- tained, but 1t started in the closet in the rear of the house. The entire roof was ablaze before the occupants were aware of the fire.
 The damage will amount to several hundred dollars, which is fully GOV cred by insurance. The fire apparatus from Stations Nos. and 4 answered the alarm.
 A small fire between the ceilings called Station No. 1 to the Mercy home yesterday morning. The dam age amounted to very little.

SPEECHES AT WooDLAWN. pr. Phillips and Colonel Brandon Ad dress an Enthusiastic Audience.

Dr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the Birmingham public schools, and ron. W. W. Brandon, adjutant general of the Alabama National Guard, spoke to an enthusiastic audience at Wood lawn last night, and by their lucid arguments gave to many voters a clearer idea of the new constitution, which is about to be voted on by the people of Alabama.
 Both speakers were impressive in their plea to the people to vote for ratification of the constitution, which, they explained, would mean white su- premacy in Alabama.
 pr. Phillips devoted his speech en- tirely to the sections of the constitu. tion pertaining to education.

Cured of Asthma.
After s5 Years of sufferIne

That the remedy is an ef- fectual one cannot be doubted after perusal of such testimony as that of c. W. Van Antwerp, Fulton, N. r., who says: Your remedy (Schiffmanns Asth- ma Cure) is the best I ever used I bought package of our druggist and tried it, and one box entirely cured me of asthma, and I have not had 1t since I can now go to bed and sleep all night with perfect comfort. which I have not done before for thirty-five years, and I thank you for the health that I now en- joy.

"East Lynne"

The Jefferson Theatre has for its att traction this afternoon and tonight new version. and the most correct one It is said of the charming story of Fast Lynne" yet seen on the stage. This dramatization was made for her own use by Miss Leah Lessi who, in addition to her talents as an actress and musical composer Is somewhat of literateur. Miss Lessi has made a careful study of Mrs. Henry Woods famous story, and the production which will be presented here, 1t is said, is correct in every way, down to the smallest detail In stage set tings and accessories. The company 1t is claimed without exception is the most expensive that has been organized to pre- sent East Lynne in twenty years. Miss Lessi. who plays the dual role of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine, Is known as one of the young emotional actresses Of the day Mir w. S. St. Claire is acknowl- edged to be one of the best Sir Francis Leyinsons on the American stage.
 The matinee this afternoon will be bargain day matinee.
 "A Stranger In Strange land."
 The Jefferson Theatres first farclcal play this season comes in the way of the New York Manhattan Theatre success, "A Stranger in a Strange Land." which comes next Monday matinee and night
 It is the same production in the way of scenic environment, cast and detail that characterized the metropolitan pro duction. The play is by Sidney Winner and Walter Vincent and is termed an Anglo-American farce, probably because the scene Is laid in England, whereas several of the characters are of Ameri- can origin. In fact, the principal role Is very much American, being noble red man, who finds his way Into England as the hireling of patent medicine fakir, who takes him along as an advertisement for his potions. There is a young scape- grace of a nephew, who is sent to America in the hope that he may reform, and who writes home thrilling stories of his adventures with red men, and wild animals while sojourning on his ranch near Buffalo. Here 1t Is that the usual ignorance of foreigners, as to the topog- raphy of America comes in to great ad- vantage. A jolly old uncle. who does not hesitate to lie In order that he may save his nephew, produces the real Indian. while the young man, unaware of his relatives efforts, induces a chum to as- sume the role of an Indian. in order that his lurid stories may appear plausible The actions of the real article and the pseudo North American form the com plications around which cluster all sorts of ludicrous situations.
 The matinee will be a bargain day matinee.
