At the Jefferson last night MT. R. D. MacLean and Miss Odette Tyler presented "Coriolanus'' to an audience of Birming hams most cultured people. Both have been here this season; both are artists of marked and recognized ability, both have pleased audiences in Birmingham in the past. Last night they could make only a few additions to their long list of admirers, but that few they did make.
 ] he play of Shakespeare is entirely too well known to call for criticism, should one feel inclined to use words not fitted for praise. But one is not inclined to say che sentence derogative of the masters effort. It is hist orical drama which has often been read but not as often rlayed. However. it is as mush a sue cess on the stage as in print.
 MT. MacLean and Miss Tyler are usr- rounded by a thoroughly competent company, and their work last night was pleasing to a degree rarely reached in this day. The scenery and other stage accessories are all excellent

N. c. Goodwin and Maxine Elliott.

The announcement of the coming to the Jefferson Theatre next Wednesday night of MT. Nat c. Goodwin and Miss Maxine Elliott in their successful play,
 An American Citizen,' will be a source of pleasure to the many admirers of this pair of talented arests. But as there is no rose without thorn, such an inn portant engagement promises to again give rise to the scenes that have caused so much trouble in the past. The manage ment of the Jefferson Theatre will use every effort to reduce the crowding and confusion attending the advance sale as much as possible. The announcement is given out authoritatively that no person will be allowed to buy more than six (6) tickets Tickets will be sold to messenger boys and negro servants but in no case will any ticket be sold to boys and ne- groes unless a written order is presented signed by some reputable citizen, and the order must state that the tickets are for the use of the person signing the order.

INDIANS NOT IN CONTROL.
Mining Property in the Reservation
 Not Included in Their Grant.

Washington, February 1s.-The Senate committee of Indian affairs today con sidered the general question of the leas- ing of lands within Indian reservations for the purpose of mining.
 A report was made by subcommittee consisting of Senators Clapp and Clark of Montana In which the position was taken that the Indians themselves had no control of the minerals or the mineral rights within the boundaries of their re- servations, No vote was taken but it was evident from the conversation that a large majority of the members of the country were inclined to accept this view. The statement was made that there are about 50,000.000 acres of well prepared mining lands within Indian reservations of the United States.

PRICE INSISTS ON A
 SHORT COTTON CROP
Publishes Letter to Substantiate His Statements-Predicts Great Cot
 ton Famine and Violent Advance,

New York, February 13-I have today received and secured permission to nuh- fish. without signature, the following let ter from one of the largest cotton mills in the Piedmont section of South Caro- lima:
 Dear Sir-1 write you a personal letter for the purpose of correcting an erroneous impression or idea under which Mir Shep- person and some other crop guessers are laboring, as to the stocks of cotton now being held by Southern cotton mills. Southern cotton mills have not today in their warehouses more than 50 to 60 per cent of the total amount that they will use from now until April l.
 The bulk of the mills have contracted with spot cotton houses for all their cot ton needed to run them through the sea- son. but the cotton is yet to be shipped into the mills in regular monthly ship ments. It is safe to say that there will be. shipped into the mills in this state alone between now and the first of Au- gust next not less than 25O,O0O bales of cotton Where all this cotton is to come from is to me mystery, when you con- slider that the mills of North Carolina nave not bought or contracted for half their requirements for remainder of sea- son.
 T write this letter in confidence and do not wish my name mentioned in re- ferring to subject matter of same I buy all over the territory east of Mississippi river and use about 35000 bales, and l be- ieve We will see a cotton famine this year that will prove a record breaker"
 l republsh this letter as the most di- rect evidence that 1 have yet received of a situation that I have for some time foreseen and which I believe will result in the widest cotton market the trade has ever witnessed. The census report on the cotton consumption for the United States for last year has just been pub lished It gives the actual consumption of cotton in the United States last year at 3,6606lS bales. This makes no allow ance for Canada where at lealst 100000 and probably 100000 bales of American cotton are consumed. The current esti- mates of American consumption upon

CHATTANOOGA WINS
 FIRST OF THE SERIES

Chattanooga walked into Birmingham last night in the basket ball game to the tune of 19 to 10. The latter team was not in the game in the second half, the for mer just playing around them in man. ner never before done by any visiting team.
 The Chattanooga boys seemed to know how to handle the ball better, how to dodge better and how to manage them selves better than the home team. Dur ing the first half the Birmingham team was in the game, but to the surprise Of every one it could not play ball at ali during the second half. The score in the first was to in favor of Birmingham. In the second half three goals from the field and three fouls netted the visitors 12 points, while Birmingham was able to

Sousa.

At the age of 45, in the very prime of life, John Philip Sousa finds himself at the head of his profession, an interna- tional celebrity and favoiite, the recog
 nized American composer and conductor, the possessor of ample means and secure in the affections of his music loving coun- trymen. Truly 1t is an enviable position, but one that has been won solely by true merit indomitanle energy and ceaseless activity. So Sousa deserves all the sue cess that has come to him, for he has al- ways l-ept faith with his public. And what a genuine, hearty. satisfactory en- tertainment a Scusa concert is; no musl- cal distractions, but good, wholesome pabulum that appeals to minds and senses alike; melody pure and sparkling, breezy, stirring and stimulating. Sousa brings his great band here for a single concert at the Jefferson Theatre tonight.

rolling hoops on the stage, said MT. Hale, and making a new and distinct novelty for the amusement of the public. For one year l spent eight or nine hours a day practicing before I ever tried any of the tricks on the stage. l can now do almost anything with the hoops if given a few months to practice.
 'The work on the ball is even harder and requires more labor and more pa tience. l was the originator of the act, and now do more than any one else The idea of the trick came through an acci- dent. One day Miss Francis dropped a club from the globe several times and in trying to pick it up without getting off the ball the idea came to her that it would be a good feature for the stage It took many months to learn the tricks ] now do on the ball and many a hard fall has taken the skin off me.
 Miss Francis is the only woman who has succe ssfully mastered the art of hoop rolling. For two years she prac- ticed with me daily before she went on the stage. From the first appearance she has never made serious error, but is constantly improving her work. She. like myself, practices five hours daily She appeared first at Proctor's in 1899. and since that time we have worked together.
 ''The easiest part of a juggler's life is the time he is on the stage His hours of practice are much more rIresome, and he does not have the applause from the audience to stimulate him. Before I started hoop rolling I was an acrobat with Barnum's circus and formed one of the famous Malville family of aerial acrobats I had q fall one day while work ing on some apparatus over the seats and have never appeared in the act since"

 For Chattanooga Martin made three goals. Dewees one, McGuade one field goal ard three fouls.
 There was a large crowd present and the roofing was of class never before witnessed in the Athletic Club. Mega phones played a prominent part and the visitors were guyed unmercifully.

Despite the resolution adopted yes

speaking of the matter this morning,

THE action Of the board of trustees
is absurd. Wilmington is as much q
part of the county as any other town,
and has the same right TO send its
smallpox patients TO the hospital VIII

the other towns, but it has a larger

less in its campaign work, said a Re-

port the truth of his statement. the

tative district will register and vote in
the Fifty-seventh district. This being
lar says the voting place for the
Eighty-second district shall be at No.

the case. the department will have to

Will Compile the Law
On motion OF Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Lat
tomus. attorney for the board, was
asked to compile all laws pertaining To
the Trustees OF the Poor and put them
in pamphlet form.
Smallpox Cases Again Discussed
I'VE have passed a resolution refus-
ing to pay any other smallpox bills ex-
cept by special order" said Mr.. Fahey,
"and there has been no committee ap-
pointed to inform the Board of Health
OF this action. | should like to hear
from the Levy Court.
Mr.. Willis. of the Levy Court, cited
Chester as an illustration, and informed
the board that Chester spent many
thousands of dollars in its smallpox
epidemic, while the city of Whining
ton had not paid a cent except for
physicians.
Mr.. Willis also compared the as
|sessed value of New Castle county and
tho city Of Wilmington, and showed
the injustice of the county having to
provide for the maintenance of the city
smallpox patients. He figured out
how. in case of an epidemic, such as
Chester now has. it would cat up the
appropriation of the Board of Trus-
tees.
Smallpox already has cost the county
1900 directly and almost half as muck
indirectly.
The discussion resulted in the pas
sage of the following resolution:
Resolved. That the secretary notify
the Board of Health. of Wilmington.
that it will not receive any more cases
OF smallpox from the city until an ar
lrangement can be made with this board
or its committee regarding the expense
OF the maintenance Of those suffering
with smallpox while in the county in
stitution."
This action was taken to force City
Council to provide funds for the use
Of the Board of Health in such cases.
Mr.. Parker moved that a commit
tee Of three members of the board
be appointed to confer with the
Board Of Health. The motion was car
ried and the following members were
pointed to inform the Board OF Health
appointed: Messrs. Parker. McFarlin
and Fahey.
The expenses of running the institu-
tion the last quarter, as compared tc
the corresponding quarter last year, is
$500 less. Mr.. Blackburn is making a
! model superintendent, and the excel
lent manner in which the place is be-
ing kept was commented on freely by
the visitors.
