 In an interview with a representative of The New Orleans Times-Democrat MT. Spenser said.
 My last work. Miss Bob White has been out since last April. The opera ran for 127 performances at the Chestnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia, and will return there before the end of the pres ent season. Later on it will be taken to New Yerk for a run at the Knicker- booker Theatre. Miss Marguerite Sylva, the leading lady in Miss Bob White. has part that fits her to a nicety. Miss SylVa has been heard in Princess Chic in New Orleans. In Miss Bob White the heroine gets her name from the quail which she has just shot and which is popularly believed to say Bob White, Bob White in its musical, piping calls. A number of gentlemen meet in a club and as an election is just about to take place naturally they make one of those foolish American election bets. and 1t turns out under the terms of the wager that two of the bettors must become tramps for a period of two months. They give up their club and luxurious modes of life and take to the highways and try to initiate the real tramp in real life. They rOh a beehive. chase a turkey. steal rides hang ing to the bottom of automobiles, have adventures with angry bulls In grassy

 T have tried to weave into my song the phases of life as it has been lived by the greatest number of people. and be- cause I have done that in a way that has pleased the people, 1 do not think 1t should be said of me that I have been lucky. It has taken me as long as seven years to produce an opera that suited me. and 1t coaIld hardly be said that sev- en years of hard, successful work is q bit of luck"

 One of the points at which critics have most marveled in Mansfields creation Of Beaucaire is that he is a parsonage completely Gaelic. not alone in accent, but in appearance, manner, tempera- ment and being. His makeup is another triumph in this art of which he has long been conceded the mastery.
 Story of "Beaucaire.
 "Beaucaire" is comedy of English Bath was the resort of the world of society and Beau Nash was its ruler.
 When the play opens the crowd of fash ionaole idlers are discussing the affair from Paris, and reported to he confined In Vincepnes. Into the pump-room comes orc Monsieur Beaucaire, who has ap- peared suddenly in the midst of the gay fhrong. and is something of a mystery, though the men make a resort of his rooms for their gambling. He has fallen in love with Lady Mary Carlisle, a belle or high birth. and determines to win an intr oduction to her, but in her pres ence at their first meeting he is igno- miniously expelled from Bath by Nash, as master of ceremonies, on the ground that he is an imposter. having come over from France in the suite of the Marquis de Mirepois as that noblemans barber.
 Beaucaire. no whit dismayed, catches the Duke of Winterset cheating at cards in trap set for the noble gambler, and. by threatening exposure, forces the lat ter to take him to the Lady Mary's ball as French Duke. Lady Mary promptly succumbs to the ducal strangers charms. her admigation being increased by his triumph ih duel forced on him at her bell. Winterset betrays him to the men of his set, and a plot to expose and pun ish him is formed at fete. where, just as he has revealed his love to Lady Mary, he Is set upon by number and defends himself in stirring combat. Winterset revenges his discontinue by denouncing him to Lady Mary as the Marquis de Mirepois' barber. He admits having come to England in the Ambassadors suite on his barber's pass ports, which changes the feelings of Lady Mary to angry contempt.
 In the last act he completely turns the tables on his enemies. for when to their surprise he presents himself at the assembly rooms in Bath he meets their renewed attack by calmly sending for his master" the Marquis de Mirepois. who reduces the company to a state of

1 is of . cordial and liberal support. We feel that under the encouragement of 3 situation so promising and hopeful, we will not appeal in vain to that large number of our people who are both will ing and able to help those causes and those worthy institutions which make for the progress and betterrnent of the city. and go to maintain Montgomery's proud position among the other cities of the State and the country.
 It is well known to those generous friends of the Association who have help ed 1t in the past. that the membership fees sufl1ce to pay only a little more than half the running expenses. The rest must come from subscriptions. There Is no reason to believe that this propor- ton will be altered in the future. While we confidently expected an increase in membership, the larger scale on which the Association will operate, the more complete equipment and conveniences, and the fuller place 1t will undertake to i'll in the life of the community. involves an increased outlay beyond the saving of rent, in itself small matter.
 In plain words, the move will have been in vain unless we accept the aid as inspiration and encouragement to go on to better things. If we are to drag along! if we are to do no better and | uuQtILdhS HO iuOIGp We Sudil our unworthiness at the start. We pro- pose, with the help of all the members and the good people of Montgomery, to run the institution in first class way, in a business way, keeping everything in order, the tables supplied with more good reading matter, the baths adequate and neat, the gymnasium complete, and to give a snap and go to the whole machine ry that will appeal to the sense of com- fort and fitness and the pride of the community.
 It is not asking too much of those hundreds of persons in Montgomery who want to help the young men and who feel an interest in the Asosciation's suc- cess. to contribute 5000 It is not much to ask. and yet it is all that is needed to place the Young Mems Association on a very high plane and to redeem all its pledges.
 The directors will call upon every citi- zen at an early day and ask in person for a substantial response to this appeal. They are all themselves contributors, and give freely of their time in addition. A generous response on your part will stimulate us and all connected with the Association to work with enthusiasm and zeal. Very truly,

, about 1, ,soo square feet With windows on | four sides, and open to the roof. which Is attractively finished, the light and ventilation will be all that is desired. Adequate apparatus will soon be in place and for the first time the Association will be equipped with frst-class gymnasium. Opening out of the gymnasium the ground floor of the three-story brick building formerly used as kitchen and servants quarters. Directly over the bath rooms will be the locker rooms and dressing apartments. A door on the south side of the gymnasium will lead to the athletic lawn. Here it is proposed that a tennis court and bowling alleys be the strongest membership attractions. The work of furnishing the building is progressing rapidly. and the ladies are
 hard at work trying to complete the task.
 The beautiful carpets and rugs are the
 admiration of all the members who drop in to express the hope that the Associa- ton will soon be in shape for business.
 And their hope will be realized at an ear ly date, for the Ladies' Auxiliary is plan
 ming an opening reception early in Feb ruary, which will mark the beginning of
 a new era in the life of the Montgomery Young Mems Christian Association. The Directors of the Young Mems Christian Association propose to open the new home on February with everything | complete. @
 The rooms are now carpeted and the furnishings finished, and in a few more
 days the baths will be ready. So will the gymnasium It Is the hope of all connected with the Association that this is the beginning of new career. The qustion of money is an ever-present one of course. and at 8 meeting of the Directors yesterday they
 decided to begin a systematic canvass of
 the city on Tuesday next. ts Last year the canvas was begun late. The Library was in ahead. and then came the Sisters Hospital, while the new Temple was taxing the resources of many givers to every public enterprise. This
 year. no other great institution is appeal ing to the public as yet, and the Y. M.
 C. A. management confidently believes
 that 1t will meet with a more than gen.
 erous response.
 The city has been divided into six dis tricts and there will be two directors in each district. An effort will be made to see every one and to extend the oppor-
 tunity to all alike. i
 In this connection, the Directors have issued the following circular letter to the
 public generally: {
 Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 20. 1902.
 Dear Sir-The Young Mems Christian Association has moved into it's new quart CTS, and those who are connected with it's management are determined to do all in their power to enlarge it's work and increase its usefulness in the community

The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-01-26

The new home of the Young Mems Christian Association is one of those grand old aute-bellum mansions of which every southerner is proud.
 Situated on the corner of Adams and South Perry. the location is all that could be desired. With about 175 feet frontags on Perry and 100 feet on Adams, the lot Is amply large for the buildings and for the other purposes of the Association.
 The building is | three-story brick structure, erected in the good old days be- fore the war. when the best material and the best workmanship was demanded. The succeed exterior Is painted in stone color with brown trimmings.
 As one enters the building from Perry Street, the broad marble steps and oid- fashioned veranda give a fitting intro duction to the interior. The spacious halls and rooms on the first floor with high frescoed ceilings and painted walls. give an air of elegance to the place and an exhilarating sense of pleasure to the visitor. The massive chandeliers,, the marble mantles. and the beautiful old time mirrors are forcible reminders of the prosperous QdyS Tn WHICH nNcQ ttio hl5 owner of this property.
 The entire building will be utilized for the Association work, with the exception of the northeast corner room downstairs, which is the office of Rev. Edgar Gard ner Murphy, the Executive Secretary of the Southern Educational Board, through whom this property was secured for the Association.
 On the right of the hall, as the building is entered. are the spacious double par lors and reading room. Back of these rooms is a beautiful octagon room used by Dr. Baldwin for a dining room. This will be used for a members parlor. Here also the Ministers Union of the city holds it's weekly meetings, and the La dies Auxiliary and the Board of Direc- tors of the Association assemble to trans act the business of the respective organ izations.
 To the left of the hall the first room is the library and reception room. The General Secretary may be found at his desk here unless he is in his private study just in the rear Opening into the reception room is the members toilet.
 Upstairs are three large rooms, which are utilized by the Association night school and Bible classes. A smaller room makes a very cozy bedroom for the As- sistant Secretary.
 On the ground floor the ladies' dining room and kitchen and china closet will present very attractive spectacle, on the occasion of the social functions of the Association. The boys room is just back of MT. Murphy's office, and there the junior members of the Association will be at home. Across the hall is the Phy- sical Directors private office, with a window looking out into the handsome gymnasium, which has just been built. This is the place that interests a large portion of the membership. It is built of brick and contains an area of
