The Rogers Brothers.

The Klaw and Erlinger Comedy Com pany will be the attraction at the Jeffer- son Theater next Wednesday and Thurs day. Of the performance given by this company the Chicago Times-Hera said:
 Whatever "The Rogers Brothers in Central Park may lack of high art and on that point there Is no room for argu ment, as they make no pretense of class ic severity or legitimate methods, 1t must be admitted that they achieve a great popular success. :" Since their avowed purpose is to create as many laughs to the minute as possible, and shoot folly as she flies with any kind of a blunderbuss that comes to hand. the spirit of criticism is excised by this frank confession of an innocent and on most accounts harmless intention. There can be no kind of doubt that their skit, which is filled not with wise saws, al- though 1t bubbles over with modern in- stances of topsy-turvy humor which might be farce comedy If it were not nearer akin to burlesque-is very much to the liking of those who wish to laugh and not care a copper for the means by which their risibles are excited

HiIIman Hospital Fund

At the meeting of the finance commit tee of the Hillman Hospital on Tuesday morning, the reports were most encour- aging A member of the committee an- nounced contributions to the amount of nearly one thousand dollars. Among the donations mentioned was that of Mrs. A. B. Loveman, who sent a check for s2O.
 Work will not be commenced on the new building until an amount of s2OO0O has been subscribed and while the sub scription list is growing rapidly, and all who have been approached upon the sub- ject have given most generously, still the members of the board urge the char itably inclined people of Birmingham to send in their donations without being in- dividually solicited. The continued re- sponse and the impetus given the work since the great mass meeting few weeks ago makes the outlook very encourag- ing.

The Manchurian Agreement.

London, February 20.-Dealing with the Manchurian agreement, in a dispatch to the Times from Pekin Monday, Dr. Nor rison said:
 ''The Japanese legation represented to the Chinese envoys that 1t was ill-ad- vised to sign a separate agreement with Russia, while the peace negotiations were proceeding. The Chinese argue that Rus sia, having no interests south of the great wall and no missionaries, trade or troops. can weaken the action of the other min isters to Chinas advantage, and they ar gue that China can therefore reasonably expect benevolent treatment outside the great wall and particularly as Russia is in military occupation.

ADJUSTMENTS

Those princes of minstrelsy, Primrose and Dockstader, and their clever conn pany of black faced artists. held the boards at the Jefferson Theatre at mati- nee yesterday and again last night, and furnished abundant fun for two appre- ciative audiences.
 A better minstrel performance was never given in this city, and every mum Der" was thoroughly enjoyed.
 The setting of the first part Is magnifi- cent, and the entire show thoroughly in keeping with the policy of the enterprise ing management. George Primrose and his picanninies, Lew Dockstader in his monologue, and in fact every number of the aggregation had something new to offer, and the offering was served up in proper" style, to use an expression of the foyer.
 Bogart and O'Brien are a team that is hard to beat, and their clever act intro- ducing novelties of their own creation fairly brought down the house. The work of the Carlman troup of acrobats was one of the features of the performance.

SITUATION IN MACEDONIA.
Show Turkey Necessity
 For Punishment for Crime.

Constantinople, Feb. 20.-BesidesH the representations made by Russia to the porte concerning the situation in Mace donia, the ambassadors of Great Britain France and Italy have also pointed out to the Turkish government the necessity for the punishment of those guilty of re- cent crimes and the protection of the pcaceable inhabitants. This step appears to have been prompted by the circular note addressed by the French minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse in conse- Quence of the appeal made by Greece to the powers after the debates of Decem- Der, in which the Greek chamber related numerous instances of assassinations of Greek subjects in Macedonia.
