 "We appreciate the fact that real vau- deville is just being introduced" said Mr. Wells. "The people of Birmingham have not had all they deserve in the way of popular priced attractions. They have been imposed upon, but I am sure that they are beginning to realize that they are getting a class of attractions now that merit patronage even at a scale of prices that could be larger. The average cost of the bills that we are presenting might amaze some folk, but it is the same class of show that plays to the capacity of our theatres in Richmond, Norfolk and Atlanta, and I will not be- lieve that Birmingham will not support a good strong show, Just as well as either of the other cities We intend running vaudeville for some weeks and then there will be a change to drama, pre- scented by one of our stock companies, the George Fawcett company.

 There is a law in the Salvation Army that none of the members shall marry until the engagement has covered at least a year, and in the promises made at the marriage one to the effect that the couple will remain faithful to the or ganization is considered of great import ance The bride and groom wear no we'd ding garments other than the regulation uniforms of the army.

HOW MEAT AND
 MILK IS INSPECTED
Three Men Examine All Sold
 in the City
COWS MUST HAVE HEALTH
Any MIX Dealer is Liable to Have His Wagon Stopped and a Sample of Milk Taken
 for Analysis.

At present Birmingham has three men whose work is to investigate every piece of meat that is sold here and the milk that is used. These inspectors are elect ed by the city council. Two of them are assigned to meat and one to milk. The meat inspectors remain at the two slaughter houses. and inspect the condi- tion of every beef, sheep, hog or any other cattle killed for the markets. If the cattle are found to be unhealthy the in- spectors prevent them from being killed. After being slaughtered the meat is in- spected, again. All of the flesh meat that Is brought to the market from the coun- try districts is inspected before 1t is put on sale.
 The meat inspectors also inspect the foreign meats that are shipped here. A great deal of it is shipped to Birmingham from Kansas City, and when 1t is taken to the markets to be put on sale the inspectors carefully examine its condition before the markets are permitted to sell it.
 The duties of the inspector who is as- signed to milk are very similar. The milk inspector can at any time take a sample of milk from any dairy wagon and analyze 1t. This is done to ascer- tain if there are any impurities in the milk, if 1t has been watered, or if any chemicals of any kind have been put in it to make it keep from souring. The milch COWS at the different 'dairies are also inspected. and if their condition is found to be unhealthy, the inspector im- mediately orders the owner to refrain from selling the milk given by such cows until they are again in good condi- tion.
 The inspection of meat and milk is a safeguard that, to a large extent, at least prevents the markets from being stocked with unhealthy or unwholesome meats, and the dairies from selling im- pure or adulterated milk to customers.

Frank Daniels.

One of the bright ideas in the libretto of Miss Simplicity" the new operatic comedy in which Frank Daniels is to come to the Jefferson theatre next Thursday, Is a burlesque on the zenda- like kingdom that has been so useful during the past two or three years for writers of romantic novels. During the progress of the story Daniels. who first appears as a valet to the young king of this pocket edition Kingdom, becomes for a time the temporary ruler of the place himself. The troubles that he has to sustain. the dignity, the amours, the intrigues and the conspiracies that are supposed to make up the life of the aver age well regulated monarch are the prin- cipal ingredients in the mixture of fun that the comedian offers his audiences.

Missouri 0ratory.

II is always worth going a long dis
lance to listen to Missouri oratory,
whether it flows from the eloquent lips
of Champ Clark, DeArmond. Cowherd,
Cochran, or any OF the others, but when
the orator takes for his subject the ir-
repressible Missouri mule the listener is
thrilled with unspeakable admiration.
Following is Representative Dougherty's
recent apostrophe TO the celebrated beast
of burden for which that State is famous:
And the fame of the Missouri mule is
not circumscribed by the boundaries of
this continent. for he has done cavalry
and artillery service in Europe Asia, and
Africa. The incident is doubtless fresh
in the minds of all of certain mules which
once upon time drew the artillery of
the British forces in South Africa. and
which, breaking away from the Britons
and dragging the cannon with them, ran
precipitately into the Boer ranks. Those
were Missouri mules"
Then Mr.. Dougherty quoted some poetry,
and concluded:
And. sir, from such associations even
the Missouri mule imbhes that spirit of
courage and love Of freedom and indie
pendence which moves even him, upon
occasion to swiftly fly TO the side of any
people wherever found on this earth who
seek to light the torch of liberty at the
fires that glow upon the affairs OF our
American free Institutions

Amounting of Monarchs

The amounting of monarchs in token OF
their sovereignty antedates the Christian
era by many hundreds of years. Accord
ing to the Old Testament. the kings OF
Israel and of Judea were enthroned by
means of anointment with consecrated oil.
and the expression Amounted by the
Lord" is even used by the Bible in con-
nection with pagan rulers. since Cyrus.
the ruler of Persia, is described in that
fashion in the Scriptures. The earliest
authentic instances OF JUNCTION as a fea-
ture of Christian coronation appears in
the annals of Spain. and is described in
THE Acts of the Sixth Council of To-
ledo." held in the seventh century. The
old Saxon kings were all anointed, and in
the CHI onicles of Robert OF Gloucester
Alfred the Great is described as having
been oiled TO be king" Pepin was the
first king of France to be anOinted king
by Pope stephen III, while Pope Leo III
anointed Charlemange at emperor in St
Peters on November "a. 500, from the
head to the feet. according to the custom
prescribed by the Jewish law" using the
words with this holy oil | consecrate
thee emperor of the Romans in the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost"

1t all happens because of the war in far
of South Africa, where the docile Missouri
beast is bearing the burden of British war
fare against the Beers. The establishment
of the ule-purchasing camp at Lathrop,
in Representative Doughorty's district
has very materially raised the price OF
these long-eare animals, and their sale
has become a profitable industry to the
constituency of the Missouri Represen-

NEED OF STATEHOOD
FOR THE TERRITORIES.
BY Delegate B, S. RODEY, of New Mexico.

The pre- ssing need of Statehood for the Terri
tories is that the people desire it, and their desire

have been out of the Union long that there
should be question about admitting them. 1t is

Since the insular decisions the position of Terri

known that Territory is part of the United

extends only by virtue OF act of Congress-
and the Constitution could he taken away freely

The Plea of a Duchess.

The Duchess of Sutherland has written
to the Saturday Review" a vigorous plea
in behalf of manliness in girls and women.
The talented young peeress was drawn
into print by a letter distinguishing be-
tween boys and girls books. 1T puzzles
me- the duchess wrote, that anyone
can be found who doubts the essential
oneness of boy and girl nature. Why
should courage, resource and fair play
be attributes held up for the admiration
of the male sex alone? / spent my pocket
money on a boys paper from the age of

a woman, though she never rides to the
hounds or handles a gun, If she be not at
heart sportsman, stunts sympathies and
loses half the joy of life. The battle,
after all, is not only to the strong, and
the sooner we discourage our girls from
adopting conventional kinks to warp their
opinions. and help them to be true to
themselves and to what they really care

Red as her lips and fragrant yet,
De.i rose that can never die;

"As long as any rose Is red
On this little rose-hung tree,
AS long as willow leaves are green,
Shall be true to thee
So vowed unto Margaret and Margaret

Through the quiet willows here,
Out of the shadow unto the sun,
Shall Margaret b. dear
Yea, though the stream should dry and

Yet should not forget,
Though the sun should fail,
The holy face OF Margaret,
Pale as pearl is pale;
And change shall change all else, but
over this ii shall not prevail.
And as true as to Margaret
To me shall Margaret be,
and some day we shall stand again
by that little ose-hung tree,
And each. with a rose in the hand, shall
say: was faithful unto thee"
