Mr.. JACK TAYLOR.

j Mr. Jack Taylor, the handsome young
actor with the Lakeview Stock Company,
has completely captured Birmingham
audiences with his magnificent baritone
voice. He is certainly an all round man
for a stock company for there seems
to be no place that he is not suited for.
His first week this season he played Rob
ert Gray in THE Wife" a part that
could not be excelled. for he handled
It with dignity and grace. His second role
was that of 1.-The Barron in "a Scrap OF
Paper"
This part seemed to suit him even bet
Ter than the first. His makeup could
not have been improved upon and his
Interpretation of the role was perfect.
This past week he was not in the cast.
but sang by request between the acts.
His first song last night was Heart
Blossoms" by Roy Smith, and for an
encore he sang Annie Laurie that sweet
old ballad that ever seems new. He
was called 2 lin and again, and it was
found that he was a Southerner which
makes US all the more proud of him.
/ think he told me lbs first appearance
in Birmingham Was with Ada Rehan in
flaming the Shrew," one of the best
compositions Augaston Daily ever sent
out but 1t goes without saying that Daily
never sent out any but those that were
first class. Next week Mr. Taylor will
be seen In one of his best parts, as
Charles Middlewick, in that beautiful play
called "our boys We are sorry not to
have him sign, but his acting In this
part will make up for 1t. 1t is hoped that
he will decide to make Birmingham his
headquarters In the future instead of
Nashville, for there is always room for
such talent as this young man possesses
and Birmingham will be proud to claim
him as che of her citizens.

tiers in the United States, studying with
such as o. w. Shaffer and Prof. Herman
Auer. But still her buoyant spirit urged
her on; and she went across the Allan
tic, she secured the most eminent pri-
vate training that Europe could give, be-
fore her return spending three years at
the Royal Conservatory In Dresden.
Returning to her native State, for she
was born In Montevallo. she wisely chose
Birmingham. the growing city of the
South, as the place In which to lay the
foundation of her life work Although
admirably equipped and proficient. there
was much to discourage, for she was
only a girl without influential friends to
interest themselves In her summary in
duction into place of prominence. She
saw that she must win her own way,
and against odds. For the music-loving
city of Birmingham was well filled with
gifted, popular and well established
teachers. among whom Prof. Grambs
and Prof. Boyce, of the College of Music,
the Guckenbergers of the Conservatory,
and the corps of teachers In the School
of Music at the Pollock Stephens, were
the most conspicuous
Without money and without influence,
she bravely set about proving her worth,
and winning her way. For she was not
only favored of Heaven with rare gifts,
and possessed of surprising culture, but
she was inspired by a dauntless spirit
Her first pupils were not easily secured:
but they were found and her first re-
cital was so successful in developing
marked progress in her students, that
there has never since been any lack Of
applicants for her training. And now she
has established and directs the Academy
of Music one of the best equipped insti-
tutions of the kind in the South an es-
tablishment of which Birmingham should
be proud.

pany was pounded by a group of men
Just after he had come from the yards
of the Burlington road. Thess were nu-
mcrous other assaults which the police
were unable to prevent. The strikers had
determined to make an extra strong effort
in the neighborhood of South Water
Street, where many commission houses
are located, but they accomplished very
little there throughout the day. Lieuten-
ant Cudmcre was stationed here with
strong force of police, and he would not
hermit a striker to stop team or raise
his hand to stop one. AS result, the
freight handlers were compelled to keep
quiet all day or be arrested.
If the conference between the general
managers and strikers shall not lead to
the settlement of the strike, it is prac-
tically certain that all the members OF
the teamsters' union will go out. The
drivers for the commission houses on
South Water Stree. informed their en-
handle goods for the Lake lines and for
the express companies. but they would
not after tomorrow deliver anything to
the freight houses or haul anything away
from them. This means. according to
the oommiesion men. that eco worth
of produce which will arrive tomorrow
morning will be allowed to spoil unless
the strike shall be settled before noon.
The commission men have determined to
divert as much as possible Of their sup
plies to the express companies at outly-.
ing stations. This will mean an immedi-
ate increase of % per cent. in the prices
OF all vegetables. as the express charges
will be added to the usual cost of freight.
