1.-THE LITTLE COQUETTE."
Mabel Paige Pleases Another Large
 Audience at McDonald's,

X second large audience witnessed a performance at McDonald's Theatre last night by dainty Mabel Paige and the Southern Stock Company. The bill was 'The Little Coquette" and the audience appeared to be greatly pleased with the entertainment.
 The play gives little Miss Paige excel lent opportunities as a short-skirted sou brette. It Is the work for which she is best fitted and the audience sympathized with her throughout the performance.
 Baby Wava. the child artist, who Is really prodigy captured the hearts of her hearers with her character songs and the medley sung by the entire company incidental to the second act made hit. The topical songs of Irwin Walton were pleasing features of the evening.
 On the whole the Southern Stock Com pany is one of the best popular price or Fanizations that has been to Montgomery this season and little iMss Paige shows marked improveuent over her stage work since she was last here.
 '"The Little Coquette" will be produced at matinee today and the bill for to. night Is Under Two Flags" with Mabel Paige as Cigarette.

In return 1t is expected thas those who avail themselves of this indult will endeavor to enter into the spirit of the holy season of Lent by voluntary acts of modification, penance and almsgiving. A most praiseworthy custom Is that of abstaining during Lent from stimulants, in honor of the Sacred Thirst of Our Divine Savior.
 Those who entertain any reasonable doubt about their obligation to fast or abstain. ought to apply to their pastor "Edw. F. Allen. | Bishop of Mobile" The rules for the observance of Lent were accompanied by the following com munication addressed to Rev. Father Savage:
 Mobile. Ala, Fe5ruary-6. 1902.
 Dear Rev. Father-The first Sunday In Lent Is the day appointed by the Third Pienary Council of Baltimore for the collection for the Home and Foreign Mis- sions. The development of these mis- sions in all parts of the world should be dear to the heart of every Christian. For although the command: Go into the whole world and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark xvi:15, was given sors in the sacred ministry, the Bishops and priests of Gods Church, yet St. Paul shows clearly that the la!ty. too. have a share in the work. He says: They who Gospel" Cor, ix:i4 Therefore when missionaries are sent into non-Catholic or infidel regions. it is the duty of their brethren in more favored districts to cortribute according to their means to er mother. home and friends to make the faith of Jesus Christ known and loved, and their brethren throughout the world should sec that they are supplied with what Is necessary for their mainte- nance. The noble Society of the Propa- gation of the Faith has taken this work in hand and has contributed most gener- ously to the establishment of the Church in this countr', and elsewhere. Therefore. as a matter of gratitude alone we ought to help this society to continue and ex- tend its work.

 A wonderful package. which the quoted lines would fairly describe. was at Justice Fuller's court yesterday. It formed ex- hibit "A" in the case against Lula Thom- as. a negro woman of the Red Bridge ueighborhood. Lula was charged with various and sundry crimes. Her accuser was Ella Borders and in Elias mind the most serious offense of all was the at- tempt which Lula had made to con1ure her. Nor, over. Lula was--accused of breaking into house. burglarizing 1t and by the evidence that Lula had gone into her rivals house. stolen Elias valuables and put sundry horrible things into her tea kettle.

 Ella was much distressed at finding the things. She averred that Lula had both tried to conjure and to poison her. The evidence that a burglary had been com mitted was conclusive and Lula was held on that charge by Justice Fuller. She will also probably be tried on the charge of attempted poisoning. The Alabama law does not recognize conjuring as a crime and much to Elias regret her rival cannot be arraigned on that charge.

Enormous Prices Being Paid For Pop

New York Tribune.
 '"rhe great and growing demand among the so-called pi ecio Is stones is pre-emi- nently for pearls" said a Western man at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday, Pearls have enormously enhanced; in fact, they have practically doubled in value in the last few years. and the de- sire to possess them Is seemingly with out abatement
 "One of the great American jewellers who has shops IS we'll in London and Paris told me that the armand for pearls was greater than the supply, and that he consequently looked for steady en- hancement in value even over the pres mt high prices and that for this reason he regarded a purchase of good pearls

COL. WILEY SPEAKS.
Has Made Reputation as an Orator
 in Washington.

Washington MIrror
 Colonel A. A. Wiley. Representative in Congress from the Montgomery district of Alabama, has made good his title as an orator since coming to Washington. though he has not as, yet electrified the House of Representatives. but that may come later. On Saturday evening of last week Colonel Wiley was one of Club smoker. and was naturally called upon for a little speech. Colonel Wiley Is one of the most accommodating gen. tlemen either in or out of Congress. and at the conclusion of the entertainment everybody left the club house fully i'm pressed that the Alabamian was one of the most graceful speakers that they had ever heard. The smoker would not have been the great success it was had not Colonel Wiley been present.

That's the condition of many suffer- CTS from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty is ex- perienced in clearing the head and throat.
 No wonder catarrh causes head ache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, de- ranges the stomach and affects the appetite.
 To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional - alterative and tonic.
 "I was afflicted with catarrh. took medicines of different kinds, giving each fair trial but gradually grew worse until I could hardly hear, taste or smell.

CROP NEWS NOT QUITE so GOOD
Nothing Materially Strengthening,

More Favorable.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce, Aug.
2-Wheat frmed up this morning. selling
back up to 6Ssc, a gain OF NC from yester-
days close, and an advance Of &c from the
late low point Aside from the strength re-
sulttng from covering by shorts who thought
1t best to take profits, there was a slight
show Of new interest on an occasional out
side buying order The crop news was not so
favorable on the whole. The report of John

the extent Of other Investigators His re-
port, while In no sense unfavoraole, is tenn
pered by extreme conservativeness. The crop,
he says, is late. This suggests that the
spring wheat movement may not begin so
early or be as heavy at frst as expected.
Granite Falls had storm, doing some dam
age. At Wimbledon, N. D., heavy rain
fell, accompanied by hail over territory
OF five to seven miles, and considerable dam
age was done. These things. not especially;
important In themselves were given carefui
consideration, coming close upon the heels
OF the late line of gossip of a nature so ex-
tremely favorable. H. v. Jones, In the Com
mercial West, says no northwestern wneat
crop OF recent years has had 50 many snarls
to stralghten out, fact that may be sur
prsing in view of the unanimity Of reports
to the effect that there will be heavy yields
max cumbined, Jones says the northwest Will
produce a total quantity TO break all rec
ords, but on wheat his opinion Is reserved
for the present.
There were no cables, Liverpool and Lon

oeipts were 1.Oo1.O0o bu, against 96o.Oo0 last
year and shipments, 4s6,ooo, against 100000

stocks decreased by 545,Ss9 bu, leaving the
present total 1921 bu.
The expectation Is for an increase Of about

market closed at 67%c for September and

at s9h@69Ac.
The cash market was firm and active, with

OTHER GRAIN MARKETS
CHICAGO GRAIN

Good Strength in Grains Marks the
Opening. 2
Chicago, Aug. 2-Good strength marked the
opening of all the grain pits on the board
Of trade to-day. September wheat started
Nc lower to NC higher at 69Sc to 701sc, but
at once jumped to 70Ac. The bullish influ-
ences were good buying by shorts and prom
inent commission and elevator houses and
the very poor grading. Liverpool had holi-
day, but London and Paris cables were i'm
proved. e Offerings were very light, and the
cash demand was improved. Receipts were
very heavy locally of 337 cars, but contract
stuff was only paltry four cars Weather
conditions were good for spring wheat. On
the advance there was some liquidation, and
September slipped off a little and steadied
near 701ac. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 122 cars, making total receipts from
the three northwestern points of 459 cars,
against 416 cars a year ago < . > -
The good buying in September wheat con-
tinued most of the session, largely Influenced
by the feeling that the rush Of early ship
ments of new crop stuff was over and that
receipts would be smaller now for some time.
Some liquidation brought dips from top fig
ures, but September, after selling at 7oBc,
closed very firm s@Ac up at 7O9s@7o&c.~ j
