AMUSE MEN IS,

The merry melange of wit and song, "The Burgoma has outlasted one hundred and fifty-one record breaking performances in Chicago. When it was produced 1t was hoped that it might at- tract sufficiently to pay the running cX- penses of the theatre durinf the summer, but like the hen that laid the golden egg, "The Burgomaster' was the biggest kind of a financial and artistic success: and instead of arousing but partial interest, it became the town talk and more of It's musical numbers struck the fancy of the street whistlers than any work of this kind recently given in the Windy City.
 The company Is a large one and the scenery and costumes are all new; in fact. a more beautiful and costly outfit will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre this afternoon and tonight than was presented in Chicago.

GREAT SENSATION
Created By the Leipsic Orchestra In
 New York.

'The sensation of the hour" says the New York correspondent of the Chicago Leader, Ifs the arrival and the first ap- pearance of the Leipsic Philharmonic Or chestra, which 1t is my pleasure to state has in every way fulfilled the promises of extreme excellence that were made for 1t. The orchestra has an unusual amount of snap and go; It has 8 fine quail ity of tone and under Winderstein the nuancing is quite fascinating, and above all artistic The programme was one that revealed the treatment of the modern and the classic, and the perfect equality of excellence showed the versality of the leader and his wonderful power of inn parting himself to his orchestra. Winder- stein's personality is very pleasing, he is magnetic to great degree, and this mag netism is felt not only by the orchestra under his beat and his eye but also by the audience which he captivates at once by his cordial, straightforward manner, and his dignifled reverence and devotion to art. We have not been treated to the sort of programme that Winderstein gave us since the late Anton Seidi was laid to rest, and it is not strange there fore that this should bring back many memories of the great Wagner exponent. Slivinski, fhe pianist with this organiz- ation, is an artist of very great ability. He played with much ease splendid col bring and a beautiful conception The audience was enthusiastically applausive throughout and Winderstein, his orches- tra and Slivinski received a warm and cordial reception in New York.
 Indeed, if the proper audiences do not grasp this opportunity, 1t will prove that with all the boasts of musical apprecia- tion In America, there Is nothing but the boast"
 This great orchestra will play in Bir- mingham at the Jefferson Theatre Thursday evening, March 2S, and will be one of the most notable musical events ever taking place in the state

"The Sian of the Cross"

Wilson -.arrett's powerful and '11 oress- iv, historical drama ''The Sign of the Cross. which comes to the Jefferson The atre for two nights beginning March 20, with matinee Thursday, is an example of the growing frlendliness between the church and the stage. The play was taken up by the most prominent English divines when 1t was produced by MT. Bar rett at the Lyric Theatre, London. ard in this country clergymen in every city where it has been seen have almost unanimously endorsed it. As a drama, however, 1t is very strong entirely aside from its moral and elevating qualities. Charles Dalton and practically the same company of competent English players who have been playing the piece for five years will be seen In the production.

 A Politicians oplnicn.
 In the conversation he said q regard the nomination of Lowe, Ferguson, Corn wall and O'Neill as certainties, and Weatherly and Selheimer are strong probabilities. Lowo will probably receive the unanimous vote of the convention on tho first ballot and Ferguson and Corn- wall will also receive enough votes on the first ballot to nominate them.
 "Bessenier will be conceded one candl- date by the balanace of the county, and as the Democrats of that city have agreed upon Cornwall there is no reason to doubt his nomination
 "I believe Selbeimer will be nominated Captain White is known to favor his nomination and it is probable that he will have friends enough in the convention to give Selhoimer the coveted prize. Weath- erly is a strong candidate and l regard his chances as excellent.
 "Beddow and Aird arc both strong men and will come to the convention with a large following. They may be able to break the slate as above given. but in my opinion such will hardly be the case.
 There arc several other names mca- toned and 1t may be probable that when the delegates from the different beats ar rive in town tomorrow combinations and trades can be effected that will cause q re-arrangement of the slate."
 The Other Delegates.
 Capt. Frank S. White will receive the endorsement of the convention for dele gate at large and a delegation to the State Convention will be selected in his interest. The county convention will all so endorse Judge A. c. Howze of this city for delegate from the Ninth Con gressional district, and this means his nomination, as Jeffcrson's thirty delegates will be in the majority in the district meeting.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham of Pratt City will be nominated for delegate from the lief, ferson Senatorial district. Neither ho nor Captain White, nor Judge Howze have opposition.
