Vaudeville at Auditorium.

Ameta, the myriad dancer, will be the feature this week at the Auditorium Her dances are done with a number of electric lights, mystifying transparent scenery and mechanical effects, and is consid- cred among the prettiest of spectacular acts in vaudeville.
 The first scene Is called "The Birth of the Butterfly" It is in field of chyrsan- themums and cherry trees In full bloom, while in the distance Is a rice field and mountains rising high in the air
 The second scene is the Queen of the Night" The stage setting for this is a beautiful Japanese garden. In the dis tance Is an ancient bridge and a field of wild flowers. A carload of special scenery and electrical effects are carried with this act, and it takes five persons to handle the lights alone.
 Cole and De Losse. comedy wire walk CTS, form another good attraction. One of the hardest feats accomplished by them is Cole walking on wire, while De I.osse balances himself on his partner 8 shoulders in a number of difficult posi- tions
 Ordinary work on the wire, when the walker has only himself to balance. is considered very difficult and but few at tempt it, but with a partner to lookout for. the danger is increased many times.

Friday and Saturday and Saturday mat inee ia likely to arouse interest far be- yond the ordinary, for the theme of the play Is one that appeals to large pro portion of the public who seldom visit a theatre, as well as to every habitue.
 Messrs Whitney and Knowles were the first theatrical promoters to realize the stage possibilities In Sienkiewics widely read novel, and the instantaneous success of the play paralleled only that of the book.
 To those who have read the great Poles masterpiece of writing there is said to be little cause for disappointment In the stage version. It is sad that 1t con- vevs with even more telling effects than the book, the terrible martyrdom of Christians in the days of pagan Rome. and supplies to the imagination what some minds may fail to grasp, even with such guidance as Is given by Sienkiewics descriptIons. To undertake the dramatiza- ton of so comprehensive work as quo Vadis' is no idle task. but 1t is believed to have been discharged with skill that has wholly met with the requirements and restrictions of the stage, at the same time. keeping intact and convincing, the story.
 Considerable discretion has been shown by the dramatist in avoiding lascivious episodes which the novelist utilized to his purpose, leaving the play clean or suggestion, save perhaps where the pas sion of Vinicius flames for an Instant from the fever of wine. The idolatry or Eunice for Petronius Is revealed in the first act. from which time forward they are in happy union withone another.

LIVELY FIGHT Wlrd WHALES.
Thirty Monsters Make United At
 tack Upon a Fishing Smack.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Vancouver. B. C.-Donald Todd. fish erman of this city. had a very dangerous experience with ferocious whales which attacked him and stove in his sloop. Todd, with his assistant, was prospecting for salmon ground to the north of China Hat, which is just south of Millbank Sound.
 The sloop was anchored near the shore. and at daybreak both occupants were awakened by a strange tumult. As Todd pushed his head out of the hatchway t1s see what was the matter he was startlt by blow on the bow, which sent every thing flying, and was accompanied by the sound of crashing timbers. He was tossed to one side by the shock, and when he regained his feet and was in position to look around he was astonished to find the sloop surrounded by lively school of whales. numbering twenty or thirty and some fifty or sixty feet In length They had followed a school of herring to the shore. and finding the sloop in their way did not hesitate to attack 1t.
 Though alarmed by the snorting anf blowing of the angry monsters, the two men succeeded in putting their boat in- shore by means of the anchor chain. The jibboom was swept clean away and the LOW of the boat was badly damaged by blows from the tails of the great fishes.

Julia MarloWe.

"When Knighthood Was In Flower V which will be seen at the Jefferson March 25, gives Julia Marlowe ample opportun- ity for the expression of the wide range of gifts which has always characterized her art. In the first act of the play, made by Paul Hester from Charles Majors novel of sixteenth century life. Mary Tu- dor's imperious, volatile and decidedly irascible nature calls for constantly vary ing moods The spoiled sister of Henry VIII, Is an April-day girl all through, as Miss Marlowe portrays her. Her frank wooing of Charles Brandon humble captain in the royal guard, Is delicious love-making and every time the prin- cess falls into one of her gentler moods she causes the audiences instantly to for get that she ever spoke bitter word to anybody.
 The supporting company is large. At it's head is Bruce McRae who plays Charles Brandon and looks the doughty captain who won the capricious Princess heart His duel with Wilfrid North, who has the role of Sir Adam Judson. Is de- scribed as a spirited bit of sword-play.

with dyspepsia. Everything he ate seemed to sour and create gases in the stomach. He had pains like rheumatism in the back, shoulder blades and limbs fullness and distress after eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh; the heart be- came affected. causing palpitation and sieeplessness at night.
 ''I gave him powerful nerve tonics and blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an experiment. I finally bought a 50-cent package of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at a drug store and gave them to him. Al most immediate relief was given. and af ter he had used four boxes he was to all appearances fully cured.
 There was no more acidity or sour watery risngs, no bloating after meals the appetite was vigorous. and he has gained between 10 and P pounds in weight of solid. healthy flesh.
 Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised. and sold in drug stores yet I consider them a most valuable ad- dition to any physicians line of reme- dies, as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or invalids or in kany condition of the stomach with per feet safety. being harmless and contain ing nothing but fruit and vegetable es- sences. pure pepsin and Golden Seal.
 'Without any question they are the safest most effective cure for indiges- tion, biliousness, constipation and all de- engagements of the stomach, however slight or severe"

The bill at the Auditorium last week and the two attractions at the Jefferson made it a good week for the theatres. AS was predicted the Cycle Whirl drew large audiences to the Auditorium, al- though the general improvement in the for this.
 Lewis Morrison played Mephisto in Faust Monday night at the Jefferson to a large audience and Tuesday night Rogers Brothers packed the house to it's utmost capacity. Many persons were un- able to get seats or even standing room, demonstrating the need of the managers making Birmingham two night stand" Birmingham is classed a good town by theatrical managers and this point has been raised a number of times
 This week will bring spectacular at traction as the heaoliner at the Audi torium. Ameta in her pretty dances with numerous electrical effects will present an unusually good act. Other mum bers on the bill will be up to the high standard of the house.
 Are You A Mason?" the attraction at the Jefferson Thursday night Is a comedy adopted from the German. It Is said to be full of real comedy arising from a num- Der of amusing situations caused by two men pretending to be Masons. The farce had a good run in New York this sea- son. s
 Quo Vadis,'' the play taken from Sienkiewics' great novel. is always good drawing card. The play deals with the early days of Christianity and is a strong portrayal of the conditions exist ing at that time.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 The state department has been much surprised to observe that it is taken for granted in some quarters that Special Ambassador Whitelaw Reid would take precedence of the resident ambassador at the court of St. James. Joseph Choate, on the occasion of the coronation of King Edward VII Mir. Choate will retain his full status, and on all occasions where the two ambassadors appear in public will rank his colleague by reason of seniority.

TIME IS MONEY.
How Large Wholesale Drug House
 Saves Money.

Modern business methods and the pres sure of sharp competition compel the successful mercantile houses of the pres ent day to give special attention to the quick shipment of goods. This requires the employment of a large number of persons in one capacity or another. all tending to one end. viz. the prompt and accurate execution of orders. The eco- nomical handling of such 8 business re- quires. that only sufficient help be em- ployed as will properly carry on the firms business. The result is that the unexpected absence of an empioys for a day or even a few hours throws back the routine work by just so much as the work of this one person relates to the entire business.
 Among a large number of employees there are always occurring little ailments, which. if neglected. entail a loss of time to the empioye and q loss of business to tho employer. and many employer ars

HARRIS NICklE PLATE CIRCUS.
Elks Benefit Will Be Replete With Novel Features, the Principal
 One Being Gypsey.

That there will be all kinds of enjoy able entertainment, up-to-date novelty and genuine interest in the big Charity Circus" given under the auspices of the Birmingham lodge of Elks in the pre- sentation of the old-time one-ring circus owned and conducted by MT. w. H. Harris goes without saying. There will be three matinees and three night per formances commencing Thursday after noon, March 20. The Elks assure their friends and patrons that the array of professional talent and many local feat ures to be presented will go to make up an entertainment both pleasing and pro- fitable That there will be an abundance of fun and local humor is assured by the presence of and participation of many men prominent in Birmingham affairs. The list will probably be headed by Hon. w. Melville Drennen. mayor of the city. and the object of the entire affair makes it a matter of popular interest. For sev- eral years the Birmingham lodge of Elks has endeavored to maintain its charity fund at figure that will meet the demands made upon 1t, and this will be the third celebration. As an order the Elks disburse more practical charity from actual funds each year in proportion to their membership than all other secret and fraternal societies in this country. and the heavy demands for the last year have urged the local members to plan something that will be out of the ordi- nary and not be a charity appeal in every sense

Surcease of Terrapln.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 It is with pleasure that we point to the bill of fare which the Germania Club of this city placed before our royal vis- itor. This is the only one, so far as we know, that has not brought the prince face to face with canvasback and ter rapin. We have looked very carefully over the Germania Clubs bill of fare. and unless 1t Is disguised as "Oberemmier Elzerberg'' or Pol Roger Cuvee de Re- serve" terrapin has no place upon 1t. The rest of the menu is printed in plain Eng fish, another evidence of the good taste displayed by our esteemed fellow citi- gems who made up the Germania Clubs committee of arrangements.

beginning to recognize the importance or a little precaution in this connection to prevent or at least to reduce to a minimum the loss occasioned by inter ruptions of this kind. As an instance of this we can cite the case of the MevAr bros. Drug Company. wholesale drug gists and dealers in medicine, of St. LOUIS. who employ over three hundred persons exclusively in the work of col lecting, packing and shipping goods. Ii IS rule of this firm that every order TOT customers current wants must be executed completely on the same day if Is received. Competition makes this nec- essary. If clerk is feeling badly his work is poorly done and In a day or two nc Is too sick to work; meanwhile the firms customers complain of mis- takes or 6elay. This company hit unon plan a few years ago which has not only saved them thousands of dollars of prohtable business. but has been a sub stantial benefit to their employees. Se- lecting from their extensive and varied stock of patent medicines a remedy which was suitable for the purpose and of whose value and efficacy there was no doubt, they placed a bottle of this remedy In every department of their large es- tabiishment for the free use of their employees.
 The remedy selected was A well kpowr iiVer' stomach and bowel regulator and Kidney tonic. the celebrated Pricklv Ash Bitters. and the result of the exper,- ment was in the highest degree satIs- factory. The amount of this great money saver used by the employees of the Never Bros. Drug Company averages about nueen bottles per month, or about fifteen oozen per year. considerable item of expense Tn itself. yet profitable invest ment from the standpoint of time say ing. Whenever an empioye complains of headache. bilious feeling. sick stomach or constipation. he is referred to Che bot- tie Of Prickly Ash Bitters. One or tvo doses soon sets matters right and he ls enabled to perform his proper share in the restless and never ending activity so characteristic of this remar iksbie house. It follows naturally that the selection of Prickly Ash Filters from among several thousand medicinal articles of . similar nature by persons auaiffied by sxperf- ence and an intimate acquaintance with such goods to select the best, is . mark of distinguished honor for this remedy which we are pleased to refer to e an evidence of the estimation in which it is held by those who are in the best posi- ton to know and appreciate it's meritA

He invites all the ladies to an entertainment of his lodge The final scramble of the elder Blood good. and his son-in-law, to avoid detec- ton, furnishes a pretty quandary, which is full of humor. The funny situations are added to by the masquarading In wo- mans attire of another friend of the Bloodgoods. who is endeavoring to help Perry out of his trouble.

Are You a Mason?

The German authors of Are You Mason? the farce which is to be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Thursday, are said to have created their characters cleverly and involved them in complica- lions, which are reasonable as well as ludicrous. Leo Dithichstein. who adapted the farce from the German. has retained all the clever situations and much of the original atmosphere. The farce tells the story of Amos Bloodgood who. for twen- ty years. has posed as a Mason in order to explain the evenings he has spent away from home His wife has grown to feel pride in what she believes his Masonic affiliations. and has made mem bership in a lodge a. conoition or young Frank Perry's marriage to her daugh- ter. He too, practices similar deception but unknown to the father-in-law.
