Vaudeville at Auditorium.

This weeks bill looks like the best one the Auditorium has played since the opening, five weeks ago. For variety, re- flnement and general excellence it is ex- pected to be far in the lead of all others In fact 1t has greater variety of high class acts than any of the others and several which are entirely new to Bir- mingham' audiences. There are two headliners.
 The Musical Ketons introduce Baby Kelton, the youngest musician on the stage and called a wonder by the press of the country This child plays sev- eral instruments and is considered a musical prodigy.
 Madge Ellis Is the other feature. She is a dainty comedienne who has been be- fore the public for a number of years and won for herself an enyiable reputa- tion.
 The Berlin Sisters called the California Nightingales. have splendid voices ac- cording to reports They are considered to be the best singers in a sister team in vaudeville.
 Arthur Buckner should please with his comedy bicycle riding, Pankle should win popular favor with his comedy clay modelling, which Is a new feature in Bir- mingham and Ali Holt has good chance to make favorable impression with his limitations of animals.

OFFICERS RUN INTO
 A BIG CRAP GAME
SEVENTEEN GENTLEMEN OF COL OR OF VARIOUS AGES AND SIZES IN THE COUNTY JAIL FOR GAMING.

sexanteen unhappy gentlemen of color spent Sunday behind the bars of the county jail on account, it Is said of an oysr-indulgence in "craps." The charge against them on the docket of the jail is violating the Sunday law. Their ages range from 21 to 30, and no two are of exactly the same color. They were ar rested by Officers w. S. Cole and James Morrow, and it is said the whole crowd was corraled while rolling dice near the Dimmick pipe works in North Brming- ham.
 Those arrested are: General Streeter, whose rank is not given but whose age is put down at 26; Wat Cole, Hay Cum mings Charles Baines, Henry Jenkins, James Lewis, Monroe Green, Claud Arma, Henry Johnston, Virgil Hammond, George Raymond Charles Hill. J. Fair Malvin, Will Hardie, Lige Adkins and Henry Fletcher.
 It was somewhat of an accident that the game was discovered. Officers Cole and Morrow went to North Birmingham look ing for the negro who stabbed Conduct or Trice on a street car Saturday night. Some one gave them the wrong name and they came to a house where the seventeen were enjoying a quiet game. The house had three doors and five windows but the officers held up the en- tire crowd and captured every man. The fact that none of them got away con sidering the number of doors and win dows showed that the officers did their work well.

PICKPOCKETS GETS
 IN WORK ON CARS
Lifted Purse of MT. Wayne Walcott While He Was on the Pow
 derly Trolley.

A pickpocket thought by the police to have come to Birmingham to work the street fair this week in Ensley. lifted a poeketbook from MT. Wayne Walcott's 8 pocket yesterday afternoon on a Powder ly car en route to the city. The pocket book contained about s10 and some pa pers.
 A description of the man has been fur nished the police and they are working on the case. Mir. walcott was standing in the aisle of the car and the pickpocket was sitting behind him. The pocketbook was in MT. Walcotts hip pocket and was taken out without his knowing anything about 1t. He did not miss it until he stepped from the car after reaching the city.
 The Powderly car coming towards Br- mingham Sunday afternoon is generally crowded, and the police think the man saw his chance to get in little work be- fore the fair opened. MT. Walcott lives on Twenty third street between Sixth and Seventh avenues

COMMITTEE IS
 WORKING ON PLANS
Nothing Will be Done About Presby. terian College Till After the
 Presbytery Meeting.

The committee appointed recently to ar range for the erection of male Presby- terian school in Alabama has held several meetings, and is working on the place to locate the school, but nothing will be de- cided until after the meeting of the Pres bytery in April.
 Several propositions have been re- ceived from different portions of the state making favorable. offers of land for the college. Four have been received and an- other will be made shortly.
 No proposition has been made from any one in Birmingham. or near the city. The committee, however, expects to have one before they settle on the locality. The Rev pr. A. B. Curry of the committee said last night the work was progressing slowly, but as fast as was thought best He said nothing would be decided until after the meeting of the Presbytery, as that body would have to take some ac- tion.

 Benefit on Sale Today

 Among those who have promised to take seats several have said they would take from ten to fifty. The committee of po- licemen will today distribute the tickets to the men, and they will commence a thorough canvass of their beats.
 Unlike many benefit performances every one will get full return for their money. The bill this week at the Auditorium is considered by the management to be the best since the house was opened.

EXPERIMENTS IN
 PHEASANT CULTURE
MIR. L. G. PETTYJOHN RAISING A NUMBER OF BIRDS AT POWDER. LY-To DEMONSTRATE THAT IT IS PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.

Alabama may become a pheasant-pro- ductive state in the course of the next few years. At present experiments in raising the birds are being made on the pheas- ant farm of Mir. L. G. Pettyjohn in Pow derly. So far the results have been satis- factory-to an extent encouraging-to the owner.
 The raising of the birds, in case 1t may be done on an extensive scale, will bring a large sum of money into the state for the returns are great. Birds of excellent eggs bring $35O Birds of low quality sell for T.60 each and upwards. During a season one hen will lay from 50 to 75 eggs if she Is in good condition.
 For the past three years Mir. Pettyjohn has been making experiments with the birds, and yesterday stated that the cul ture was not any more difficult than the raising of turkeys. The greatest attention Is demanded immediately after the hatch ing, for the desire to escape from captlv- ity Is inborn, and as soon as they are out of the shell they begin attempts to get away. He had five to get away from him last season.
 In his coops he now has pair of silver. the golden and the English ring-neck pheasants. They are all fine birds, as game pheasants grow to be, and as pretty as the exquisite colorings of plumage can make them. The plumage of the golden cock is valued at $S. and can be sold for that amount at any time. This bird has | 2 s,Ilt kKx1, ing S15, while the other only brings S7.50. During the years MT. Pettyjohn has been experimenting he has had hard luck. but has succeeded in raising eight birds, though five of the number escaped from him. He is still very hopeful of succeed ing in demonstrating that money may be made from raising them.

Faith ful and unswerving in our following the Lord will mean faithfulness in leader ship.
 We are hoping and praying that the lines which once radiated from Christian Endeavor and which in turn have made circles of their own, may soon, very soon, swing back again. under the one great, noble designation; and without losing their own identity CT Individuality, they may operate under the great name.

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Money is Scarce With Prospects of
 Being Scarcer.

London, March 23.-The movement of the past week on the Stock Exchange is hardly worth recording. Money was scarce and there is prospect of its be- coming scarcer with the approaching quarter day. while the continental sell ing of securities on the London market. presumably in view of the new Russian loan, further restricted the cash supply and generally affected internationals ad- versely. The uncertainty of the form to be taken by the new British loan was also a disturbing factor of the week.
 The public seems to have shaken on it's speculative fever entirely. Home rails declined steadily In spite of very fair traffic returns. American securities ral- lied somewhat toward the end of the week in response to the improvement in New York Mines were absolutely stag nant
