Not content, apparently his sue

poser and conductor. John Philip
SOusa has invaded the realms of fc-
tion and blossomed out as a full
fiedged novelist His first story, which
he calls THE Fifth String" has Just
been published by the Bowen-M Merrill
Company, of Indianapolis, and will
doubtless excite considerable interest,
as Mr.. Sousa is one Of the most widely
known and admired men of his day.
THE March King has written much
in a musical way besides music-the
words for his songs, the lyrics for his
operas. various books of instruction
but THE Fifth String" is his first pub
lished story In the choice of the sub
iect, as the title indicates. Mr.. Sousa
has remained faithful TO his art and
the great public that has learned to
love him for the marches he has made
will be as delighted with his flowing
pen as with his waving baton. "The
Fifth String" is as weird as "The
Death Dance" of Saint Saens, as i'm
DassiOned as a Chopin nOcturne as
dynamic as a Sousa march" says the
New York World. A cover in conso-
nance with the spirit the story, espe-
cially designed by G. Alden Pierson,
and six full page illustrations by How
ard Chandler Christy serve to give the
distinguishing decorative embellish-
ments that this first novel by Mr..
SOusa so richly deserves. Should the
new novel achieve the success the pub
fishers anticipate, Mr.. S0usa will con-
tinue his literary work by completing
his long contemplated "Pipetown Stor-
les" In the meantime, the March

Summer Amusements
AT EAST LAKE.

BY far the best bill at the aquatic
theatre at East Lake is the one which is
drawing large crowds this week There
is not an act on the bill which does not
receive the hearty applause which tells
the management that 1t is making hit.
Il is not the applause of a luke-warm
audience. but of one which is really en-
joying what it sees.
Leah Russell, the pretty soubrette, is
the most popular. Every night she draws
many to the theatre by her clever work
and up-to-date songs. The management
is congratulating itself on having her at
the lake today. when 1t is expected stand
! : room will be at a premium.
Roy and Lavanion, the acrobats, are
features which it will be hard to replace
when they leave. Their work is sensa-
tional concluding with a human wind
mill which is an entire novelty The team
enlivens their work considerably by a
few comic antics which are really anus
ing.
-ehan and Mascotte, a Dutch comedy
team, are well up with the rest of the
bill and are a strong drawing card. They
are we'll received at every performance
and deserve all the applause they receive.
Charles Smith, Jr., the graceful tenor
singer, has a new set of songs this week
which are better suited to his voice than
any of those which have gone before.
There will be two performances today,
at 4:S0 o'clock and S:45 o'clock. There
will be music the entire day by a band
of twenty-five pieces.

the lips of all parties present were
sealed.
1t is understood that the entire situation
was gone over in detail. As in all the
joint meetings of last week, the discus

most friendly and business like spirit,
both the operators and the representa-
tIves of the United Mine Workers en-
deavoring to reach a basis that would

The third day of suspension of work at

quiet all along the line. II the joint COM

or more before 1t could be formally rati-

being held with view of the operators
and miners coming to terms, gives high
encouragement in. mercantile circles.

tics. Only one thing was discussed, and
that was the next campaign In the state,
and the possibility of obtaining railroad

pie.
Every man present last night. and there
were about fifty, pledged himself to aid in
the fight. many of them having griev-
ances against the railroads for the pres
ent freight rates. Speeches galore were
made, and all CT Them were about the
railroad commission. Capt. Frank S.
White, one of the leaders In the fight on
the present railroad commission, made
the principal speech. He stated that the
merchants of Alabama were pefng dis
eliminated against by the railroads, and
that 1t Is possible to get produce and
goods from st. Louis, Chicago and places
equally distant. for tho Same freight rate
as the produce coming from the fertile
fields OF Alabama, not 100 miles away.
He also stated that the producers of
Alabama could send their products, cot

other eastern rkets for practically the
same freight e they can send 1t to Bir-
mingham and other Alabama cities.

every speaker who followed him, and
