Tuscaloosa Mills Lose 8 Suit for
 Heavy Damages.

Tuscaloosa, Nov. 6.-(Special)-Th jury in the case of the Tuscaloosa Mills yer sus the Alabama Great Southern Rail- road for $35,O0O damages reported this brought in a verdict in favor of the rail- road company. The suit was the result of the heavy rains which flooded this County in the spring of 1900 at which time the mills of the plaintiffs were de. luged with water and a large amount of machinery and stock ruined. Invitations to the marriage of Miss An nie Korner to MT. John R. Moore have heen issued by MT. and Mrs. Charles Kor- ner, parents of the bride-to-be. The mar brides parents, November 18th, at 1:3C o'clock. Both of the young people are very popular in their set and have a large number of friends who are inter ested in the happy events.
 The appointment of Colonel Henry B. Foster by Governor Jelks to the vacancy in the County Solicitors office caused by the resignation of Hon. J. Manly Foster to accept the position of District Attor- nev for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, gives universal satisfaction in this Coun- ty. Colonel Foster had no opposition for the position which pays $1,5OO per year and was heartily endorsed by large number of the best people of Tuscaloosa. Colonel Foster has held the position of Assistant Solicitor for several months and prior to the Spanish-American war he was the County Solicitor.
 J. E. Fleisher and Miss Etta Brown were married at the home of the brides mother by Rabbi Scher. Immediately af- ter the ceremony the couple left for Bir- mingham which will be their home in future.

TEN ACTORS ] PERISH
KLoNDIKE THEATRE OF HUR
 LEY, WIS, DESTROYED.
Ten Members of Vaudeville Lost Their Lives in the Flames. Four Others Seriously
 Injured.

Ironwood Mich. Nov. 6.-Ten lives were lost in four buildings destroyed by ire which started in the klondike theatre at Hurley, Wis, today.
 The dead-C. w. Cleveland, H. E. Cliff ford, Thomas Le Claire, George Benert. H. M. Emery, Timothy Ryan, F. L. Gay, St. Louis; Thomas Ozanne, Harry Ray mond, Clara Bonne.
 Seriously injured-Jennie Bender, Annie Scott, Laura Russell. Billy McLaugh lin.
 The Klondike was a vaudeville theatre and all of the dead and injured were con nected with the theatre as performers.
 Most of them lived at Hurley. and Thomas LeClaire was brother or th' proprietor of the theatre.
 The fire started on the stage and in few minutes the structure was mass oi flames.
 The third story was used as sleeping quarters, and the fire spread so rapidly
 The theatre building was quickly con sumed and the fire spread to adjoining structures. The Ironwood fire department was called to the assistance of the Hur- lev firemen, and only by the hardest Worh was the town saved from being wiped out The loss on the theatre and other buildings burned will amount to $lI'UO0
 The charred remains of siN of the vic tims have been recovered. and search IS being made for the others
 The Klondikc theatre burned once be- fore, in July, 1897. when eleven men lost their lives. . 1y.,.
 An evening Wisconsin special from Hur- lev. Wis, gives the name of Miss tennis Barber, actress, among the list or dead. and William Russ Bolt. an IronWood par- Der, as one of the injured.

MONTGOMERY THEATRE.
"Girl from Maxims" Disappoints a
 Fair Sized Audience Last Night.

TheatrC managers seek to secure plays which will entertain all classes of people but the man who selected The Girl from Maxims' as a stage vehicle. hit upon a piece which appeals to few, if any. the atre goers in this Southern country
 It is advertised as a great New York success thereby rehecting upon the char acter of the great throngs of people who daily patroniZe New Yorks numerous houses of amusement.
 '"The Girl from Maxims' was at the Montgomery theatre last night The long run of the play in New York and the unique advertising 1t has received at tracted fairly good sized audience which went away from the theatre disappointed
 This is the play that has been adapted from the French and laid bare before the public. New York audiences may be tickled to death at this sort of thing, Southern audiences are composed of men and women who have an abiding respect for the home and the family circle They cannot laugh when the sacred matrimo- nial ties are made the subject of ridicule and this is the reason why these Frenchy farces which depend entirely on vugarity and baseness do not succeed on the Southern circuit.
 There Is not funny situation fin The Girl from Maxims." It Is not even saved by artistic acting. The company is me diocre and the women are not pretty.
 Of course this play goes into the best

Phenomenal Memories

Prof E. S. Holden in Harper's Magazine.
 Many of the greatest men have had phenomenal memories. Caesar knew the nsmes of thousands of soldiers in his legicns. A modern man of science often has a prodigious memory for special ter- minology Prof. Asa Gray assured me that he could at once recall the names Of something like 25,000 plants: Prof. Theo- 6cre Gill can do the same for fishes. Our memory for mere words Is itself much mere extensive than Is generally admit ted. The average well-to-do child of two years of age has a vocabulary of some 800 words, and its father may have the command of 0.0Oo more. The 10000 verses of the Rig Veda" have for 5000 years been accurately preserved in the memo ries of the Brahmins. Not one Brahmin alcre, but thousands, can today recite it word for word. Thousands of Moham- medans. likewise, know the Koran by heart, as all learned Chinese know their classic books. The chiefs of Polynesia can and do repeat hundreds of thousands of words fin their genealogies-taking days and even weeks for the recitation.
 Hundreds of pianists can play all day, and many days. by memory; and I have myself seen Won Bulow conduct Bee- thoven's Fifth Symphony without score. Chess players have a visualizing mem- ory; musicians have an auditive and motor memory, while arithmetical prodi- gies may have any one of the three or Q of all.

RETURN FROM BUFFALO
 R. W. GoRMAN WHO MANAGED STATE EXHIBIT.
He Saved the State Several Hundred Dollars by Quick Work in Getting the Exhibit Pack
 ed Before the Rush.

Roscoe W. German and Mrs. German have returned from Buffalo where Mir German has, been in charge of the State exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition since May. Mir. and Mrs. German left yesterday for their home in Opelika.
 As Is we'll known Alabama attracted more attention than any State represent ed at the Pan-American and to Mir. Cor mans personal efforts much of the suc- cess is due. By his diligence MT. Cor man saved the State several hundred dollars. He secured a car and had the Alabama exhibit packed and shipped the night the Exposition closed thus saving being delayed from thirty to sixty days. The Alabama exhibit was the first one moved and Mir German secured the only permit that was issued to any exhibit to move before Monday, November 4.
 Hundreds of exhibitors will have to wait months to get away.
 At the State Agricultural DepartmAnt yesterday 1t was said that there is a jam on the railroads leading out of Buffalo and the Department has been advised that it may be several weeks before the exhibit reaches Montgomery.
 Many of the collections used in the ex- hibit will be displayed in the rooms of the Agricultural Department at the Cap itol. The fine fruit exhibit will be sent to Mobile as it belongs to the Land De- pertinent of the Southern Railway.

Russia. How Much Do We Love Herp

Russia. How Much Do We Love Heri Henry Norman in Scribner's.
 There has been for long in the United States a belief that Russia was a gen. uine, sympathetic friend, moved by ad- miration of the American people and chiefly, I suppose, from the apocryphal narratives of the readiness of Russia to intervene on the side of right during the war of the rebellion. Therefore the public profession of their friendship for
 Russia. which Russia, needless to say, has cordially accepted, for who would refuse such a gift? But the whole belief Is a political soap bubble It is nothing
 but bright film in ,, the etSer; KussiS EIn,taS States because the effect of that Is tc postpone any cooperation of England and America in world af1airs-a con tingency which Russia Is not the only power to fear. But beyond this she nev. CT thinks of the United States except to regard her institutions with profound disapproval and worse; to anticipate the time when cotton will be grown in Fur kestan to make 1t safe for her to put a prohibitive tax upon every American bale; or to wish that the American biI- lionaires would invest few spare mill lions in Government guaranteed per cent. bonds of the Russian State rail ways-and, let me add. If I were bill lionaire, I should assuredly meet the Russian wish In this respect, for there is no better investment at such an tn- terest in Europe Beyond these things America does not exist for Russia, ex- cent when a troublesome Secretary of State puts a series of direct questions about Manchuria or the open door, and insists upon answers in writing. In Tact. Russia thinks about Amerlca preclsel$ think about huge secular democracy 4 GOO miles away.
