 Lost, strayed or Stolen" found it's way to the hearts of a large portion of Bir- mingham's amusement loving people last night at the Bijou. With bevy of pret- ty women. some stunning gowns, catchy music and a shapely chorus, the Bijou Musical Comedy company made its debut to the people and a reception was given it which has rarely been paralleled in the city.
 Everything went with smoothness and from the man on the front row to the gallery god" in the last row of the peanut there was not one of the 1900 people who was not glad they were at the Bijou.
 Little Chip probably made the hit of the evening, but there were many who claimed a share of the honors. Follow ing closely behind him were Otis Harlan, John Dunne, Tony Hart, David Andrada, Lindsay Hall, Dan Marble, Miss Suzanne Rocamora, Miss Pearl Tormie Miss Mary Marble and Miss Glenn Echo Early It takes much to make a musical come dy. but the Bijou company has found it. There are pretty chorus girls, with pret- ty costumes, and just enough dainty lin- gerie to make 1t fascinating; there is good music and some splendid voices to sing 1t; there is a pretty stage setting and some new electrical effects to en- nance it; there was some good comedy and some good comedians to spring it. That about sizes up the company.
 Little Chip, as a comedian, especially in the two last acts, Is excellent. His speciality was the applause winner of the evening. Miss Mary Marble. as the Chi nese lady, was an ideal little Celestial, and with Little Chip she did a most pleasing bit of work.
 Pearl Tormie as the godmother of the child, did some clever work in scene No. 1, and her voice is sweet and well trained. She Is also a very stunning woman and was nicely gowned. Miss Suzanne Rocamora, as the opera singer, was surrounded with a beautiful stage setting which was admirably fitted. Her voice is the best in the company, and her duet with Frank Johnson was one of the distinctive hits.
 The Illustrated songs sung by MT. Early were the best he has yet put on here. Mir. Bennett works the slides with the same degree of satisfaction, and manages the electrical effects so as to add much to the play. It was pity that they put on song they had sung here before. F. H. B.

Lestef and Spif
What difference does it make to u
whether a man named Job ever. live,
or not? The vine and the fig tree O
the new Testament, Job, Jonah and
few other heroes Of the old Testamen
serve to point a moral. They furnish
the concrete object in a lesson. 1t i
immaterial TO US whether there wa
any particular fig tree, or vine, or any
man named Job who was afflicted b,
cumulative sorrows, or any man names
Jonah who was swallowed by a whale
There may have been such men knowr
to their neighbors as Job and Jonah in
their respective centuries and coun-
tries, but whether there were or not II
does not affect the spiritual truth
which the stories teach.
Professor Charles p Kent, who holds
the chair of Biblical literature in Yale
university, in speaking about the story
of Adam and Eve, says:
The pathetic fact in connection with
the present discussion is that the fun
damental spiritual truths that the mar
rative seeks to teach are lost sight Of
in the contention of it's historical ac-
curacy, which was entirely secondary
with the authors"
Historical accuracy is one thing and
teaching spiritual truth is another.
Unless Job be received as a type of
the modern man, tempted like as We
are and liable to self-righteousness as
We are, his actual embodiment in the
flesh is irrelevant and immaterial.
THE narrative of Adam and Eve deals
with the origin of sin, the essence of
sin and the consequence of SIM" The
early peoples were not impressed by
abstract truths. Even as late as the
first years of the Christian era Christ
was obliged to teach his disciples and
the multitudes by parallels, and only
the most philosophical and purely
mathematical minds of the present day
can escape from the thraldom of mat
ter, and reason and conclude without
objects or signs of objects.
Let x represent Adam, a man, an
unknown, and the story of mans fall
and departure from the garden of
Eden, which is the same thing as the
rupture of his harmonious relations
with God, applies Immediately to our
own willful exile from beauty, and the
perfect adjustment of life in accord
ance with spiritual and physical law.
The man Adam, the thrilling story of
the temptation, the scenery Of the gar
den. the perfect geological collection it
contained, the beauty of the heroine
and the tragic climax hinder us from
applying the sin and the inevitable
punishment of Adam to ourselves. We
are neither a primitive nor a fully
people, and we therefore
insist upon the historical truth of the
Adam and Eve story and miss it's spir-
tual significance which might help to
Keep us in the paths of righteousness.
Professor Kent says: within the
compass Of two brief chapters, the
author effectively presents Jehovah's
purpose for mankind, the necessity of
mans moral culture, that sin is the
'esult Of mans deliberate choice, and
hat the failures of life are the result
II mans failure to realize the Divine

1t Is as IL he said "a fish runs or a
reindeer swims." We have words to
express the two motions. and If he
transposes them he is absurd uncon-
sciously, or at best obscure.
The communication of the RAIN
maker is an example of a man with
an idea or of a man who thinks he has
an idea, trying to communicate IL to
an audience not familiar with his medi-
um of communication. There may be
youthful inventors and rainmakers in
the schools now who will sometime
wish to convince an unbelieving world
of a great discovery. If they can not
speak plain, clear English. they must
convince by a demonstration 1t is
frequently necessary for the inventor
to convince one or several men of the
value of his invention in order that he
may be provided with means to ma
terialize his idea and furnish the world
a demonstration. With such English
as the Professors, Benjamin Franklin
would not have been entrusted with the
the copper-plate press, stove or light
ming rod. And he never would have
been sent as an emissary from the
colonies to England or to France.
Many an il, entor has died impover-
ished because his native language was
a maze Of nouns, verbs, adjectives
and conjunctions that he could not put
together so they would carry his ideas
of rods, chains, belts and cogs to the
people whose help he needed. 1t does
not yet appear, bat it is not impossible
that the Rainmaker has an idea. 1t is
certain, however, that il he has one il

effect which some orators have upon

who selects from a large number of
truths those most helpful to his audi
tors and expresses them in noble Eng
lish SO that every individual who hears

great preacher.

DlETRlcH's COMPROMISE"

4 TELEGRAM from Washington says

has prepared a cuban reciprocity

satisfactory to the Cuban people or 10

IT IS EVIDENT that the union cooks
and walters Of the city have been
badly advised in their strike, which
was inaugurated yesterday.
Those are the facts: The restaurants
II the city which were employing union
labor and had always shown their
friendliness for the union, were using
bread from a bakery which had been
boycotted because Of difficulties with
It's employees.
The cooks and walters in sympathy
with the Bakers union demanded that
the restaurants cease using bread from
this bakery. No union baker I'm the
town was prepared to supply the res
tauants, either in quantity or quality
equal 60 the boyc0tted bread.
The restaurants were offered only one
alternative-either q strike Of their
men or an inadequate supply of poorer
bread that would have injured their
business permanently. They very rea-
sonably refused to injure their bust
ness thus, and the strike ensued.
The outcome seems certain to be the
defeat Of the strikers, the disruption Of
their union. discredit for the union idea
and q disastrous loss OF public esteem
at the hands Of the strikers.
The reason for this failure seems
very plain. Wise unions recognize the
employers right TO demand at their
hands certain supply. either Of labor
or labor's product, that shall be equal to
or better than the supply offered by
competing non-uniOn shops. II this
could not be guaranteed, no employer
could afford to invest his capital in an
enterprise employing union men. The
typographical union. the cigar-mak-
ers, the great railroad unions al con-
cede the necessity Of this one condition
as a factor in their success.
If the striking bakers and their
friends, the cooks and walters. had
been sensible and well-advised. they
would have been sure that they could
offer a satisfactory substitute for the
obnoxious bakery's product before they
began their fight. Then they could

can offer YOU as good bread as you have
been getting. and as certain a supply.
and we would like to have you help
our cause by refusing to buy nom union
products until our trouble is settled"
AS it is. because they can offer no such
substitute, they viii 1ose-and deserved
~ so.
The Herald employs union printers:
it finds them the best because they
have a fixed standard Of skill. and
guarantee to supply all the men needed
in the operation of it's plant. The Typo
graphical union is strong because it is
usually fair, and does not demand i'm
possibilities.
But The Herald has no use for such
fool unionism as preciDitated this
strike, and it believes it is serving the
cause Of sensible Iaboring men by call
ing attention to the blunder that has
resulted so disastrously to the strikers.
