Last Wednesday evening the town
hall was filled to witness the comedy of
Uncle 81, given by the Brownfield
Dramatic Club. The scene of the play
opens in Vermont, in the farming dis
trict, and it is here that Frank Rolleston
of the city meets, falls in love with, and
is married to Ruth Hedges, but with
the disapproval of his parents and
friends. Ruth discovers that her hus-
band is ashamed of her on account of |
her ignorance, and runs away and enters
seminary under another name. There
she meets cousin of Franks, Nellie
Parkman, who invites her to her home
after her graduation, where she meets
her husband, and finds him as much in
love with her as ever, and recOncilia-
ton takes place. Josiah Hedges, Tran
quillity Hedges, parents of Ruth, and
Prof. Philander Tickelpitcher, were
bright and breezy characters, and were
made the most of by those having the
parts. The other characters were we'll
carried out, and the audience was con-
vulsed with laughter or swayed to tears
throughout the whole. After the per-
Torrance dancing was INDUCED in by
those who wished, and ice cream and
cake were served. Following is the cast

London Looks to Tram Cars.

From the London Express.
 In the development of the tram car lies Londons hope of escape from the prob lem of overcrowding. Train service to the suburbs may be improved--must be im- proved. But the surface railways are al- ready as busy SIS they can be during the hours when the million workers of the suburbs come to their work or go from it, and though we may get more comfort able carriages. better light, and greater punctuality Gall matters greatly 10 be de- sired). we cannot hope 10 see a great in- crease in the number of trains run along existing lines.
 But the tram car. after all, is the fa gorite carriage of the people; and it is pitiable to think how its possibilities have been neglected in the greatest city in the empire. The idea of a tram car travelling Ut the rate of ten miles an hour will seem Utopian to the patron of the pres ent cars. But there Is nothing wonderful about it. Provincial town can command a service as speedy; it is not uncommon on the continent and in America, where cars rattle through the main thorough fares or lne biggest cities at a pace that would cause London bus driver to col- lapse on his seat with pure amazement.
 We do not look for sensational speed in the busy and narrow thoroughfares that approach the Thames on the South side of the river and Holborn on the North. But once outside the congested area of traffic reasonable celerity of movement may be expected along the main suburban thoroughfares, and d tram car ride will be a quick and healthy all formative to the overcrowded compart- ments of the suburban railway or the un- derground progress of the tubes.

A GRAND OPENING
Will Be That of venabIe's New Place
 Tomorrow Afternoon and Night.

From the Birmingham Evening News
 Ever progressive and alert to cater to the public at all times, the Messrs. Vena- ble are expanding their business by se- curing the store adjoining their former stand at No. 206 North Nineteenth street, thus doubling their facilities for accom- modating and serving the public with their famous ices and soda fountain drinks.
 The grand opening of this new place will occur tomorrow afternoon and even ing, and delightful time is assured ali who attend them. The place will be ele- gantly fitted up, newly painted, hand somely papered, and the walls set with fine mirrors, which will reflect the light of the many incandescent lights shedding their radiance upon every part of the pretty parlors. r
 Good music will charm the ears of the guests, beautiful decorations of palms and will please the eye, and the delicious fountain beverages and ices dispensed by Venable-whch have no superior-wili all combine to make 1t an event of great pleasure and attractiveness indeed.
 Venable's success, as above evidenced in his increased business, is due to the enterprise displayed in the conduct of the same. and the excellence and individual merit of the drinks dispensed by the Messrs. Venable. They are also agents for Wiley's famous fine candies, and en- joy a large patronage for these goods.
 The opening of Venable Place Monday deserves to rank as one of the prime at fractions of the opening of the great Elks' Street Fair The Elks' colors will be prominent in the decorations.

Of all the music festival cities where Theodore Thomas appears this season Birmingham Is the only one in which the local chorus director will have the honor of showing himself in public at the score desk. Thomas Is the most famous festival director in America and he is naturally jealous of his reputa- tion He is autocratic. According to his rule, he must direct every number on the programme or none. But Mir. Thomas makes an exception here because he knows MT. Guckenberger personally well. and is thoroughly satisfied with his mtislcianship.
 In 1892 and 1894 Benjamin Guckenberger was Thomas piano accompanist in the private rehearsals of the Cincinnati fes- tival chorus: and only a few months ago Mir. Thomas, in a testimonial letter, put himself on record In regard to Gucken- bergers ability. The great conductor said that Guckenberger transposed read fly at sight and referred to him as an expert musician. Indeed Thomas mar yelled at the facility with which he transposed the choral part of Beethoven's s Ninth symphony a tone lower than the key in which it was written. When Guckenberger left Cincinnati and located in Birmingham six years ago Thomas kept run of him; and that being so, he now feels safe in turning oTer his orches- tra to him and permitting him to direct the chorus numbers. This is notable compliment. and one which all Birming- ham will appreciate.
 No city of its size in the United States. and few cities of any size can boast Of a musician of Guckenberger's force and all round experience. Many capable chorus masters there be, but extremely rare be the men who are equally at home with chorus and orchestra. Guckenber- ger was educated for oratorio and opera performance and for symphony work as we'll; hence his fitness, in Thomas esti-

Why the Dome of the Congressional
 Library Is Covered With Gilt.

From the Baltimore Herald
 It Is only natural that the stranger in Washington should comment on the gilded dome of the library of Congress, which is one of the three conspicuous. landmarks of the city. the Washington monument and the dome of the capitol being the other two. Few of those who gaze upon the wonderful creation know that in giy- ing such an attractive finish to this su- perb building the idea of economy was uppermost. This gilded dome will stand for years to come as an illustration of the care and thoroughness of the late General Casey of the engineers, under whose su- peTvlsion the building was constructed. II was at first proposed to paint the dome. and although no color was named II was assumed that it would be either White or gray General Casey decided that gid ing would not only outlast any paint, but would apparently lghten the top ol the immense structure.
 In pursuance of this ldea he advertised for proposals for covering the dome and the pyramldal structure underneath the lantern with gold leaf The lowest bidder offered to do the work for Sl.1 square foot. It was required that the gold leaf should be twenty-two carats fine under assay. Discarding the extravagant bids which had been submitted, General Casey purchased the gold, found workmen who knew how to beat 1t and others to apply it, and succeeded in accomplishing the work in a thoroughly satisfactorily man. ner at a cost of B 1-3 cents square foot. The entire cost of gold leafing the dome and it's pyramidal base was only S3500. At the time General Casey estimated that gliding would last at least thirty years Although it was applied more than five years ago, it looks as bright as on the day when the las sheet was put on. The General figured that the cost of painting the dome would have equaled in five years the cost of gliding it, so that the gold leaf is the least expensive covering for the dome, and the effect is beautiful in the extreme.

The Slopes of Punchbowl.

The slopes of Punchbowl are becom-
ing more and more the favorite resi-
dence portion of the city; this is not
to be wondered at as a drive through
the newly graded upper streets will
demonstrate The elevation gives an
atmosphere noticeably cooler and more
invigorating than that of the lowland
in which the city proper is situated,
and the beautiful view of Honolulu S
coral-reefed harbOr alone more than
compensates one for the slight incon-
venience of climbing the incline. Within
a few weeks the new electric line VIII
overcome the only objection to Punch
bowl as a residence site. and those who
have been fortunate to secure residence
lots in the upper district VIII have the
most desirable location in the city. The
elevation renders the residents free
from the danger of malarial fevers. ana
the combination of the healthful and
the beautiful will attract many others
to the slopes, which are already well
covered with handsome residences sur
rounded by terraced lawns, and the
limited number of lots left will soon be
at high premium.
