"The Charity Ball" at the Auditorium

"The Charity Ball" at the Auditorium.
 The Boyle Stock Company will enter upon their fourth week at the Auditori- um tomorrow night. The past three weeks have seen large and critical audi ences at every performance, which should make Messrs. Boyle and Edwards feel that their venture of placing a perma- nent stock company in Birmingham will prove big success, both financially and artistically.
 Next week an elaborate scenic presen- tation of Belasco and De Miles beauti- full pastoral play. "The Charity Ball. is promised. The play Is a prime favorite with the public and this will be its first presentation in Birmingham at low prices To many 1t Is the sweetest story of the stage, associated with "The Old Homesteady" "Shore Acres and other pleasing stage creations. It Is strictly melo-drama- with strong phases of social life and whiffs from Wall street running through 1t. The piece will be handsomely staged, entirely new scenery being used for this presentation.
 The vaudeville bill consists of Jennie Yeamans, one of the greatest female en- tertainers on the stage, and Fred Wad- dell, whose performance is billed as the greatest club jugglery act in America.
 The usual family matinees, which are becoming very popular, will be given on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.

The citizens of the Dominion of Cam
ada have just cause to be proud of their
record as law-abiding people The an
nual report Of the criminal statistics of
the Dominion. which has II population
of over 6.0O0O0O. shows that there
were only twenty-five indictments for
murder in 1899. of which only two
were left without final action. Eleven
of those indicted were hanged, nine ac
quilted and three confined as insane.
Canada is a country of vast proper
tiOns. Its people are scattered over Il
wide stretch of territory, making police
surveillance particularly difficult and
in many districts impossible. Yet Il
city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes Il far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
of territory from Quebec to Vancouver
The Canadians asrribe their immu
nifty from crime to the promptness with
which punishment is meted out to Of
tenders. When man is caught red
handed in the act of rohhing another
he is not released on straw bnil by
some Justice of the peace from the
slums, to go ont and repeat the offensc.
Sharp and sure justice is meted out to
criminals of all kinds, the result being
that when the guardians Of the public
peace succeed in bringing thug to the
bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him Il second time.
4 Furthermore. there are few court de-
lays in Canada when criminal is
brought to book. They have no Dreyer
cases over there. There are no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month TO month and from year to year
or after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die of old age or opportunities for cor
ruptiOn can be found.
| Nor does this swift method of treat
| ing with wrong-doerS in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves. They have all the oppor-
tunities and privileges that our own
laws extend to them. The extent TO
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all.
The above taken from the editorial
column of the Times Herald gives some
idea of the immunity from crime that
exists in Canada. and this is one OF the
many Inducements held out for Ameri-
cans to settle in the district known as
Western Canada. The season of 1901
will see II few new sections of the co,ln-
try opened up for settlement. They are
attractive in every respect. 1t is under
stood that one of the best Indian re-
serves in the famous valley of the

LARGEST OF HOP FIELDS.
Great Army of Pickcrs Is Required or
California Farms.

NAAhAOEMlu n GuThSs
During the period of about four
weeks from the 9th of September to
the early part of October all the way
from $4,000 to 10000 men, women and
children are busily engaged from sun
rise till sunset picking the blossoms
from the great hop fields of California.
In Sonoma, Sacramento. Mendocino,
counties hops are extensively and sue
cessfully grown. The plantations of
the State combined would form one
enormous area of $500 acres, a far
reaching eXpanse of valley land, nearly
twelve miles square and containing
more than 100000 hop vines. yielding
in Il favorable season almost $2,OO0,O0O
worth of dried hops.
1t is not generally known, but the
largest hop yards in the world are in
California, along the Sacramento, Rus
sian and Feather rivers, and the very
biggest hop field on earth is at Pleas
anton, in Alameda County, where there
vines under one Wire.
AS fle picking must all be done by
hand and within the short season when
the blossoms are at their best, an army
| of people has TO be suddenly mustered
for the harvest. The mild climatic
conditions that favor the development
of the hop and the pleasant inland val
leys where it is grown combine to make
hop picking something of a summer
time delight. for the work is neither
difficult nor arduous and the pay is fair.
There are but two drawbacks to hop
picking. One is so-called hop poison
ing, which is simply sort of prckly
heat or rash sometimes produced by
contact of face and arms with the net
tlciike fuZZ on the stalks of. the hop
vine. 1t does not affect all pickers.
The other is tho dark staining of the
hands resulting from the resin of the
blossom. 1t may be removed by rub
bing with the crushed green leaves of
the hop.-San Francisco Chronicle.

"That the plaintiff is entitled to
Judgment against the defendant, that
the defendant remove all said stone

That in case defendant fails or neglects

Party Offers to Reveal Names of the
Cudahy Boy AbductOrs.

Omaha, Jan. IA letter has been
turned over to Chief Donahue of the
Omaha police department in which an
offer is made to deliver certain inform
alton to him regarding the abduction
of Edward Cudahy Jr., upon his COM
pliance with certain conditions The
chief and Mr.. Cudahy evidently con-
sidered the letter authentic and of
enough Importance to justify a reply,
because the following advertisement
appeared in the columns of local
paper this morning
"Your request, asked for in letter
mailed at Lincoln on Jan. A, to be an
swered before Jan. Z, will be granted.
E. A. Cudahy, J. A. Donahue. +"
Both Mr.. Cudahy and Chief Donahue
decline tonight to say what the con-
tents of the Lincoln letter were, or to
refer to the conditions prescribed
therein. 1t is stated that the letter is
from man who knows every member
of the gang which kidnapped Eddy
Cudahy on Dec IS. Further it is
stated positively that the revelations
to be made by the writer of the letter
will involve well-known man in this
city who has been suspected, but
against whom no positive evidence
could be obtained,
The acceptance of the offer of the
unknown writer leads to the belief
that he has placed price on his
knowledge of the crime, and has
taken this means to protect himself
from discovery, as he gave no address
in his letter, advising an advertise
ment to be inserted if his propositions
were considered favorably.
