In selecting the artists who will APP

great discrimination was used; for
where could a finer combination Of art

Acting upon the assumption that
there was no Manganese in any part

steel corporation refused 10 listen to
the Montana people who discovered
the valuable deposits. Now, however.
we understand that they are among
the underground bidders on the prop
erty, and Mr.. Davis. as agent OF his
company, may receive the the largest
bid for them.
When distant from manufacturing
centers maganese is of no value ex-
cept when IL is of high grade and cas-

SUNDAY WEATHER
WAS PERFECTION
CROWDS ENJOY TRIPS TO THE
VARIOUS UBURBS-MANY VS.
1T SHILOH CHURCH, THE SCENE
OF FRIDAYS CALAMITY.

Yesterday, so far as the weather was
concerned, was almost a perfect day. 1t
was typical of Indian summer. with
suggestion of straw hats and shirt
waists. The churches were all well at
tended both in the forenoon and evening.
In the afternoon, many spent several
hours at the various parks. while hun
dreds of others strolled or drove along
shady ways in the edge of the city.
The calamity of Friday night at the
Shiloh Baptist church was still the main
subject of conversation on the streets,
and several hundred people visited the
scene of the catastrophe during the day.
The street cars on all the divisions were
crowded with people seeking recreation
and diversion.
The crowds on the streets in the late
afternoon and early evening was notably
less than has been the case for some
time. The perfect weather was more
suggestive of the purer atmosphere of
the country than the crowded city, and
many of the suburbs presented a FVlier
appearance than the usually congested
streets of Birmingham.
At the many refreshment places the
crowds were also less marked yesterday.
It is the season between the cold and hot
drink, with no special desire for either,
and the patronage at these places will
probably be less active until there is a
decided change in the climate.

play to the end.
A complete scenic production is prom

BIJOU THEATRE
WILL OPEN TONIGHT
THEATRE GoERs WILL NOT RE-
COGNlZE THE OLD AUDITORIUM
so THOROUGHLY HAS 1T BEEN
TRANSFORMED.

The Bijou theatre. formerly the Audi
torium. will open tonight under the new
management. An attractive policte vau-
effort known to Jake Wells will be made
to please the Birmingham public.
Tonight everything will be in readiness
for the people of Birmingham. and the
Bijou will be seen to be a complete trans
formation of what was the Auditorium.
The old theatre has lost its identity al
together under the work of the carpen-
tiers, painters and filters. 1t will not be
recognizable to its old patrons, the seat
ing capacity having been materially re-
duced and the stage placed under the
direction of practical managers. Much
new scenery has also been added
The Wells policy has made the Wells
house in Virginia and at Atlanta the
home of people who hunger for first class
amusement at price that can be af-
forded. The price only concerns the peo-
pie, for the shows will equal many of the
best seen in Birmingham. Mr.. Wells can
do this because he is a member of the
association of vaudeville managers and
his representative is one of the strongest
theatrical booking establishments in the
east.
For the opening the Felix and Barry
combination will be the Offering. Others
are the Crane Brothers and Belmont the
Midtown Minstrels'; Imogene Conner,
the descriptive ballardist Arthur Buck
ner, the sensational cyclist; Gebest Sis
ters, novelty entertainers; the Taneans,
