My Partner.

My Partner" was the offering at the Jefferson last night, and small audi ence witnessed the production if by a happy chance the word production will be allowed In referring to the play.
 My Partner is a piece that should by law be confined to the theaters where the cheaper attractions try to entertain the public. It is not Interesting, and the number of dull moments are numbered by the time 1t takes the play to stop after it has begun.
 The story is wild and rural. A man Is stabbed and the best friend is charged with the crime. Finally the evidence Is, almost at the last moment, placed on the real murderer, who is shuffled off the stage in a hurry.
 The play is full of tears and scenes that are intended to be pathetic. The heroic part, Joe Saunders, was in the capable hands of Daniel Gilfether, who is really a good actor, but aside from this excep- tion the company was weak, and playing a weak piece, the result Is not hard to inn agine.

"san Toy"

The Augustin Daly Musical Comedy company will present San Toy" at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night.
 This company is the one originally or- ganized by Augustin Daily, the famous manager of Daly's theatre in New York. several years before his dedath for the annual presentation of English musical comedy at his theatre Afterward the policy was continued and the company kept together. During the continuation of this arrangement some of the most nota- ble musical productions ever given in America have been seen and heard, nota- bly, "The Geisha," '"The Runaway Girl" San Toy" and others equally as im- portant. Perhaps San Toy'' has been the most successful of them al1 since it Is the only play of its kind ever to have had runs on Broadway three separate times, each time to large receipts.

At the Bitou.

A large and demonstrative audience at tended the Bijou performance last night and enjoyed the excellent bill provided by Manager Wells for this occasion. The show as a whole is a good one, entirely in keeping with the standard of this house.

Much Interest Manifested In Greasy Cove In the New Railroad to Be Built to That Place-Other
 News of Gadsden.

Gadsdon, November 1.-The Chatanoo- ga Southern railroad is making a survey of the route from their main line to the steel plant and four miles of track will have to be built. The road will follow the original survey across the Tuscaloosa road, and just beyond the car works will make turn and cross the Southerns track. It will then run parallel to the fence on Lucus street and will cross the electric car line at Twelfth street. ana continue along beside the N, c. & St. L. track to the car works, from there around the Tallman addition and to the steel plant.
 This will put the Chattanooga Southern in shape to build on to Birmingham. and 1t is thought that the road will be built to Birmingham within the next year.
 Much Interest Manifested.
 A great deal of interest is manifested in the railroad to be built to the Greasy Cove section. The Alabama, Tennessee and Missouri road to be built by Capt. Elliott and associates have secured the right-of-way on most all of the route to the line of the Birmingham Mineral III DlOunl county
 The L. & N. it is said, contemplates building a road through the same terri tory, and with a line between Atlanta and Altoona will make complete belt of the mineral districts of the state.
 This is one of the finest mineral dis. tricts in the state and 1t will be only a short time before a large number of both coal and ore mines will be operated.

SOD PATTI REVIEWS HER YOUTH SOD
NEVER EXCITED

Do you remember that trill? And
then the way, later, that she played
with the rye as a kitten with a
ball, tossing it higher and higher, roll
ing and turning, till it finally ended in
big, round gurgle and then came to
an end. 1t was in the simpler things
that Nine. Patti was best-"The Last
Rose of Summer" and Home, Sweet
Home" and the enormous audience
that filled Albert hall arose to these
and gave her an ovation.
AS far as manners and appearance
go Nine. Patti was as young and 90
quettish as ever. She was dressed
in pale yellow with picture hat
perched upon her black and curling
hair. To have seen her running airi
ly up the inclined plane that leads to
the platform of Albert hall, bowling
gayly to right and left, you would not
have given her day more than 20.
She is a wonderful woman, is Nine.
Patti. l doubt if any prima donna of
To-Day will have such a record of song.
Fortunately for her she has never
torn her voice with Wagner's music.

what she likes, she lives as she likes,
she takes exercise as she chooses, she
has no physician in attendance. She
has no nerves." If this be true times

in New York she had he'd own cook,
her own doctor and her own phys
ical attendant. AS for nerves, she
had them all over her body. She sell
dom ventured outside of her hotel,
and when she did she drove in a
closed carriage and stuffed cotton in
her ears to keep the cold out.
Nine. Patti has not yet succeeded
in selling Craig-yNos, her Welsh cas-
tie, and she still spends the most of
her time there. The place has cost
her fortune and it takes a fortune
to run it. Like every prima donna
that ever was born, Nine. Patti loves
the country. 1t is, of course, the con
trast to the excitement of their pub
lie life that makes singers and actors
eager for the peace and quiet of
green fields.

Lind was to a generation past. When
told young American girl that
was going to hear Nine Patti sing
she looked at me aghast. "Patti sing!
! thought that she was dead and
buried ages ago." To prove that she
was alive and singing l took the young
American girl to the concert with me.
To my great delight Nine. Patti gave
her old familiar repertoire. She first
sang "Costa Diva with ''Voiche
sapeta'' as an encore. Then the jew
se1 song from Faust, with within
Mile of Edinboro Town" as an encore.
Then "'The Last Rose of Summer"

No ote can truthfully say that Nine.
PATHS voice is as fresh to-day as it
was thirty years ago, but every one
must admit that is is marvellous, con-
sidering her age, for she has turned
so. AS for her style and method,
they are unimpaired. 1t seemed to
me as though her songs had been ar
ranged for a lower key than of old,

were liquid and brilliant as far as
they went but the famous one, None,

Grand as that music is it is death to
any but German voices, and even
they cannot long withstand its strain.
Patti has confined herself to Italian
operas and English ballads. Since
she was so small that she had to
stand upon a table to be seen, she has
been singing in public, and before
that she played the violin in an or
chestra of which her father was the
conductor. Notwithstanding her long
life before the public, she shows few
signs of wear and tear, because her
life has been made easy for her. She
