Gertrude Coghlan.

Tomorrow matinee and night Gertrude Coghlan will be seen at the Jefferson Theatre in dramatization of Thacke- rays great novel, "Vanity Fair" In re- viewing the performance the Memphis Commercial-Appeal of Saturday said in part:
 '"rhe cleverest woman of the woCd of fiction has been made into the cleverest woman in the world of drama by clever dramatist The woman is Becky Sharp of Vanity Fair" The play was pre- scented at the Lyceum Theatre last night by Gertrude Coghlan. While the admir- CTS of this young woman might have a heeting wish that she would concentrate her budding abilities upon some noble and inspiring character, they cannot withhold the need of praise superlative from her Becky Sharp. To play Becky Sharp 1t is necessary to whet the brains to their sharpest edge and to dull the heart to a torpor. There are few &C., tresses who in playing Becky Sharp would be able to win so much admiration for her virtues that the observer must constantly regret her vices. Miss Cogh- Ian does this. It would not be expected that she should, for she is still young and her stage experience has been limited, but she does. So fine is the courage of this audacious little creature, so alert her wits, so Elusive her humor, so en- chanting her coquetry, that the heart aches with the realization that all of these advantages were employed as weapons against honesty and sincerity.
 '"The part of Becky Sharp in the hands of Miss Coghlan is not perfectly devel- oped in all of its details. At the same time she gives an impersonation interest ing to study and full of promise. She also reveals herself as an artist of un- ] impeachable taste, of delicious humor and of contagious emotion. She has in- herited from her distinguished father much of his great ability and her acting last night sustained the promise sug- gested several years ago. She is admira- bly, supported by Charles Bertram, whose Rawden Crawley was in keeping with the artistic acting of the star. James Cooper was also most acceptable. The other members of the company have been se- lected with much care and aid in making the performance good one."

LEAK IN WATER MAIN.
Shut Of Valve in Front of the Age
 Herald Bursts.

The shut-off valve of one of the water mains of the Birmingham Water Works Company, in front of the Age-Herald office, sprung a leak yesterday morning, and for a while a good size stream of water boiled up out of the ground.
 A crew of men were kept at work re- pairing the leak all yesterday afternoon and up to about 10 o'clock last night, the water supply in the Age-Herald building being cut off during that time. Several square feet of vitrifed brick had to be removed and a ditch several feet in length dug in order that the br oken pipe might be reached.

FRUIT TO ouENcH THIRST.
Much More Satisfactory Than Water
 During Hot Weather.

From the London Lancet.
 He who is unduly thirsty may quench his thirst without danger of over-indulg- ence, by eating ripe fruit. Fruits have practically no nutritive value, and their chief use in diet Is for the administra- tion of water in an appetizing form. To quote from the article:
 "The amount of water In fruit Is con- siderable. In watermelons it is no less than 95 per cent, in grapes 80 per cent, in oranges s6 per cent, in lemons 90 per cent, in peaches SS per cent, in apples S2 per cent, in pears S4 per cent, in plums 80 per cent, in nectarines S3 per cent, and in strawberries 90 per cent, not a fruit in the whole category contain ing less than 80 per cent. The irresista- ble conclusion, considering these facts. is that fruit plays an important role in diet as thirst quencher. Certainly when fruits are freely represented In the diet less fluid requires to be consumed, and fruits would appear to be endowed with subtle, immitable flavor which is ample inducement to imbibe- fluid in this most wholesome form. It is noticeable that as fruit enters into the diet the indulg- ence in alcoholic drinks Is diminished. Thus 1t Is most satisfactory to observe people taking good, juicy slice of melon as preparatory to a meal instead of sher- ry and bitters or a cocktail This is a most commendable practice, and the pro- ceeding is dietetically speaking, perfect ly rational. The fiavorings of fruits, al- though of litle nutritive value, are un. doubted stimulants to the appetite and aids to digestion. Moreover, the juice of fresh cut fruit is perfectly free from mil crobes is as sterile as freshly clean drawn milk, and the fruit acids tend to inhibit the power of those disease-pro- ducing bacteria which flourish in neutral or alkaline media.
 "The market antiscorbutic properties of fresh fruit, due to the vegetable acids and their salts in the juice, are of great importance. For the most part these acids are combined with potash, and hence free diet of fruit preserves a healthy alkaline condition of the blood, and there is consequently a reduced ten dency to the depositing of acids in. the tissues. Peaches and that delicious and delicately favored fruit the nectarine, contain quite a small quantity of sugar, and this, coupled with the fact of the tenderness of their pulp. makes them suitable for the gouty and diabetic. There can be no doubt that the juice of sound ripe fruit is an ideal means of assuaging the intense thirst of hot weather--cooling, refreshing and of an agreeable flavor. It Is common experience that the more a person drinks to satify the demands of thirst. in hot weather the worse he feels. The temptation is to gulp down huge quantities of fluid, with the result that excessive precipitation sets in and a very uncomfortable and unrelieved feeling fol- lows. On the other hand. a judicious amount of sound. ripe. juicy fruit, whilst cont aiming all the water necessary to as- suage thirst, would lead to no such dis tress and would exercise other healthy effects on the bodily functions.''

"RIchard carvel."

It is said that Andrew Robson's success in Richard Carver has been accentua- ted by a series of standing room au- diences. and this actor seems destined to surpass all the other successes which he has made. This is evident from inc fact that not only does the play and the actor draw capacity audiences. but the enthusiasm which follows him through the stirring and charming scenes of Richard Carvel," it is claimed, has never before been equalled. MT. Robson's per- sonation of Winston Churchill hero is as complete as it is artistic Every phase of that deligtful Maryland gentleman's character from the soft sentimental side to the highest dramatic reaches of the part is presented. It is claimed that in Richard Carver' for the first time a TO- mantle American character is placed upon the stage with American settings. MT. Robson will be seen in the title role of this play next Wednesday at the Jef- ferson Theatre.

 "A Stranger in a Strange Land was put on at the Academy last night by the same competent company that made such a hit here last year with the same comical production. There is nothing es- pecially artistic or elusive about the farce, but 1t is full to running over with absurd and Imaginable situations which were well handled last night. MT.
