THE CONCERT.
A Successful Entertainment Both
Financially and
Musically.

The audience IN attendance at
the opera house last evening was
well entertained By program OF
merit and pleasing variety which
received generous aud bearty ap-
plause. The opening number by
the Chickasha baud gave evidence
of careful practice under the able
leadership of Director Fox. Other
numbers OF the band, especially
the "HuntiRg Song" which was
particularly flne, met an enthusias-
tic reception.
1t was source of much regret
10 the friends Of Miss Hill that q
severe hoarseness prevented her
from giving either of her program
numbers. A very sweet little song
was substituted which pleased
every listener. Mrs. Eugene Ham

Is always pleasure. Her selec.
tions, "Tne Plains of Peace" by
Barnard, and Strelezki's .sHsppy

the old favorite, Home. Sweet

lightful response 10 encore. Mrs.
Anna Dinsmore Mcclure is q
voca ist OF whom Chick asha is ana
may well be proud. Her voice is
sweet and sympathetic, and of
dramatic power and range. Her
fret number revealed finished and
perfect vocalizalion, while 1.-The
Last Rose OF sumner the last
number Of q group of old songs,
brought out tie foil sweetness and
sympathetic quality of a well
trained voice. Miss. Pyle sang
Millard's Waiting with fine
voice aud execution. Miss Nc
CuDe won many admirers ny her
excellent rendition of the ''Flower
Song and Miss Shepard was well
received IN Dudley Bucks "WheD
the Heart is Young" Mr.. Scot
fern and AIR. Shepard contributed
pleasing vocal NUMBER, the
former q Mozart selection entitled
''The Violet,p and the latter
Shelley's "Love's Sorrow"
The piano numbers were fine
rendItions by Chickashais best
performers. Mrs. Calloway's solo,
Mendeli sobn's Csprieio Brilliante,
was greatly enjoyed. Two brilliant
duets, Poet and Peasant by
Misses Remington and Pyle, and
''Semiramide" by Mrs Galloway
and Mrs. Johns added much to the
success of the program.

A LIGHTNING CALCULATOR
A Street Lecturer Who Has an
Article of Real Merit
TO Sell.

Attracted by crowd and the
glare of a torch representative Of
the Express stoppedat the Citizens
National bank corner the other
evening to listen to what the
average person terms a "street
fakir."
Reooming interested and draw
ing a little closer the writer soon
discovered that the man was
not fakir, but a special
Ist of no mean ability in his
particular line-mathematics. His
illustrations were particularly
good and interesting and while the
object of his talk is of course to
sell bis book, which could be used
to advantage by all who use fg-
ures, any one can learn something
by watching his work.
The Express Is informed that
Mr.. O'Connor is worthy and re
putable gentlemen and his book
Short Rules in Mathematics is
well worth what be asks. Mr.
O'Connor expects TO be here again
on Saturday. 1t will pay you to

RAILROAD MEN
 BEING CHANGED Frank s, Cannon Nov Quits
 the Southern SAM GALLOWAY PROMOTED
Third Vice Presidency of the Southern Railway Company May Remain Vacant for the Present-oannon
 Resigned Some Time Ago.

This week has brought sudden changes in railroad circles. Following close upon the resignation of c. 8. Hayden, superin- tendent of the Southern. comes this an- nouncement by the Associated Press from Washington:
 Prank s. Cannon, third vice-president of the Southern railway, has rendered his resignation to the company to take effect November 1. Mir. Gannon's resig- nation was filed some time ago, when he started on a trip to the Pacific coast, but his action was not made public until to- day His successor has not yet been ap- pointed. In the meantime, the duties of his office will devolve upon the second vice-president."
 General Superintendent c. S. McManus was asked last night who would succeed MT. Cannon as third vice president. The answer was: 'I do not know. Probably the office will remain vacant for some time"
 It is believed in Birmingham that if any one succeeds to MT. Gannon's place 1t win be General Manager c. H. Ackert.
 
 position of third vice president and gen. eral manager. When the office was split some months ago, 1t was generally said that Mir. Cannon would resign in the course of time and that the office of third vice president would be abolished for the time being
 P. A. Holly, freight agent of the South ern railway at Birmingham, has tender ed his resignation, effective November 1. He will be succeeded by F. P. Pelter. J. F. Macomber, chief train dispatcher on the Birmingham division, Southern railway, has resigned and has accepted position with the Missouri Pacific rail- way. MT. J. T. Boyle has been appoint ed to the position vacated by MT. Ma comber.
 F. B. Jones, travelling passenger agent of the Southern railway, with headquar- ters in this city, has rendered his resig- nation effective November l. It is un- derstood that MT. Jones will be succeed ed by MT. Lattimer of Chattanooga.
 Sam Galloway, roadmaster of the Louisville and Nashville. will be promot- ed to the position of superintendent of the Owensboro and Nashville division of the Louisville and Nashville, with head quarters at Russellville This change will take from Birmingham one of it's most popular citizens, but MT. Callo- ways promotion will be fully appreci- ated.

that they don't propose to confne them selves to cutting off the duties upon the articles made by the trusts, but their remedy Is to destroy the trusts by drag ging them down in the general ruin. You don't hurt the trusts by tariff reduction, unless you make the reduction so great that it will become unprofitable to man. ufacture the articles in this country. If that Is done you can kill the trusts you can close their mills; you can turn their laborers out of employment, but you close the mills also of all other produc. CTS of similar articles and you substitute for domestic production the importation of foreign articles.
 MT. Root then referred to the second proposal of the democratic party, con- tained in the plank of the New York platform adopted while the anthracite coal strike was at it's height, and now famous as the ''coal plank" and said Tt is serious thing that a great party which proposes to secure major- ity of the votes in the greatest state of the union, should put such a declaration in its platform. The proposition itself does not need to be seriously considered now. The least of the offenses involved in the declaration, is that it is uncon- stitutional."
 If the principle embodies in this propo-
 
 the American system of local self gov ernment would be at an end, and the state would become but countries and geographical divisions of a great cen tralized power. For if the national gov ernment has power to enter the state of Pennsylvania and take the anthracite coal field into it's preseason and owner ship and mine the coal to supply the wants of the people of the United States. 1t can take the bituminous coal fields of Ohio and Illinois, 1t can take the grain fields of the west to furnish food and the cotton fields of the south to furnish clothing; 1t can take the railroads and ships that transport the necessary sup plies and the mills and furnaces which fit the raw material for use. Every re- quirement of human life becomes a pub lie use of the United States, and in the presence of that all-pervading and direlction to the distribution of powers between national and state government and the sovereign states themselves would disappear"
