Gertrude CochIan.

The late Charles Coghlan, then whom the stage has known few as able and less of better actors. left in Miss Gertrude Coghlan daughter who is doing eminent credit to the Coghlan name Miss Ger trude inherited the powerful and finished art of her talented parent to an almost startling degree the similarity in manner and method of father and child being so marked as to invariably excite comment Miss Coghlans presentation in Thack- eray's Vanity Fair of the paradoxical Becky Sharp has established for her a place in the profession which she graces that few of her years have attained She has been almost without exception ac. claim ed by the critics as a player of high attainments and higher promise. Her forthcoming appearance at the Jefferson on Tuesday matinee and night of next week is an event which is looked forward to with the keenest pleasure. It is said that strong supporting cast and a mag nificently mounted and costumed produc. tion is assured.

Not Enough Cars.

An official of the Alabama Great South ern said yesterday: Never in the his tory of railroading in the Birmingham district has traffic bern so heavy as now. The year 1899 was a good year and last year was even better. But business this fall is far beyond anything we have seen.
 with all our increased facilities we have nothing like cars enough to handle the traffic that offers. The coal opera tors are complaining more than ever, the iron men are complaining and every class of shipper is complaining that we do not furnish cars as fast as they are needed. This is the condition on all the lines oper- ating in Alabama The transportion de- partments of all the roads are working with almost perfect system and economy in the way of handling their traffic; but the volume of business Is simply beyond anything that might have been antici- pated. If the Alabama Great Southern had double as many cars as 1t has do not believe we would have any too many to accommodate the shippers. It is wor- rying to have this rush and not be able to keep up with 1t, but 1t is better so than to have cars idle, as we have had in times past

"Rlchard Carvel."

The presentation of Andrew Robson in Richard Carver Is underlined at the Jefferson theater for the evening of next Wednesday. It is to be offered here with the same important company and stage paraphernalia with which 1t has been given in New York. The play is some thing of radical departure for Mir Rob- son. who has heretofore been seen only in roles of the ultra subdued drawing room" stamp. In Richard Carvel," it is said. he burst upon the gaze of his critics with bewildering effect, amazing them all with the intensity of his rapturous acting. the antithesis of what he had demonstrated in previous plays A new actor of new school appeared to rise be- fore their eyes.

"A stranaer Ir a stranae Land."

A stranger IF strange Ganu'
 The first of last seasons New York farce-comedy successes to reach here this season will be William A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer's production, "A Stranger in Strange Land," farcical comedy in three acts, which comes to the Jefferson theater next Monday matinee and night
 The play is by Sidney wilmer and Wal ter Vincent. The scene is laid in Eng land. and the story is suggested by the ignorance of the upper English classes concerning American topography, man. ners and customs. A wild and erring young scion of a British family has been sent to this country with the understand ing that he will remain away three years as ranchman. But this plan does not prove congenial to him and he settles in New York and after a time writes home telling hair raising stories of his vest cat tie ranch near Buffalo N. r., and the desperadoes who surround him. His uncle, however, accidentally learns the truth and desiring to save him from the family wrath, pens letter advising him to come back with lot of Indians in tow anu dAi indllIer Ol DlOOQ CuTullnG SIOTleS committed to memory. Of course. tlto letter miscarries, and Jack arrives home without the Indians and without the knowledge of what has leaked out and to crown 1t all, on the same train with him comes young American heiress. To avoid exposure suitor for his sister g hand, in the person of Arthur Lowe, is made to dress as savage. Then a quack doctor from the Western United States appears with true Indian. while de- tective appears on the scene and dis guises himself as third Indian Finally Jack marries the American heiress, who is quite won by his picturesque exagger- ation," and the aunt and cousin are pro- pitiated and the sister at last wins her lover.
