David WarfieId.

David Warfield, who is to be seen to- morrow night at the Jefferson theatre scored one of the most emphatic suc- cesses of the New York season last win ter at the Bijou theatre, playing "The Auctioneer' under David Belasco's direc- tion. The enthusiasm with which the en- tire New York press lauded his acting af- ter the opening performance, is rarely paralleled. His brief touches of pathos, with which he relieved the numerous comedy scenes were praised as being ex- quisitely done. The diqerent acts take place at Five Points, New York; on Lexington avenue. and on West Twenty third street and the scenes 1t is said. nightly call forth enthusiastic bursts of applause.

Adelaide Thurston.


 "At Cosy Corners as presented by Adelaide Thurston at the Jefferson last night is one of the most charming and delightful plays which has been seen here this winter The play abounds with a happy mingling of comedy and pathos and Is clean and sweet throughout. Miss Thurston is well known in Birmingham and a favor1te with it's people. She Is graceful womanly and altogether a clever actress.
 Not only Is Miss Thurston perfect in her part but seldom has there been seen a more evenly balanced company than is hers. Without exception each actor Is admirable in his or her role. Francis X. Hope as Clyde Holster, presents a well conceived character in an artistic way. Amanda, who works out for ac- commodation," keeps the audience amused and the play and actors each de- serves the crowded houses which greet ed them here.

in the ninth century was adorned in

Religious Torpor.

According to the New York Oh
server, this is period of general
religious torpor: There is no doubt
but that we live in a period Of general
religious torpor Some people are in
consequence tempted to imagine that,
therefore, religion is out CT date, and
will finally pass entirely from the
thought and practice Of men. Not at
all. The religious instinct in humani
ty will reassert itself in time. Per-
haps, indeed, there are cycles Of re-
ligious feeling. Statistics seem to
bear that opinion now. 1t may be
that we are now between two flood
tides Of religious enthusiasm. 1t is
now slack water, but it may be that
presently the tide will begin to run
flood again. High water may come
again in a few years. At any rate,
that is a hopeful view to take OF the
case, and if we are to accomplish any
thing at all as Christian workers we
will need to be inspired by the optimiS-
tic spirit. So long as God is we must
believe that things will get on, final

man help mixed in, tOO."

\ short time ago 4 well dressed
stranger was arrested in Columbia for
trying to beat Mr. S. B. McMaSter out
Of fine gun. The stranger repre-
sented himself to be the son Of Mr.. W.

ed lease Of two guns for hunt. The
guns were sent to Wrights hotel. Mr..
McMaster suspicioned that the fellow
was fraud, and followed the guns to
the hotel. When he got there he
found the fellow getting ready to
leave on a train, with the guns. Mr..
McMaster had the fellow arrested and
locked up. 1t now appears that the
game is being worked in several South
ern cities, and the Charlotte police are
looking for a man who worked the
game successfully in that city. The
Washington police have written the
police OF Charlotte and say that the
game was also worked in Washington.

The Rural Free Delivery.

The Spartanburg Journal says the
rural free postal delivery system prom
iSes to give congress some trouble,
particularly in regard to the amount
of compensation which shall be given
the rural carriers. When the service
was started, compensation was placed
at $500 a year, and it was expected
that a sufficient number Of carriers
would be glad to obtain the positions
at that figure. The trouble is that
on some routes the pay is sufficient,
while on others it is entirely made
quate, and several proposals have been
made as to the exact sum that would
best cover all locations. The posi-
master general has increased the COM
pensation from $500 to S400 and then
from s400 to $500 a year, but even the
latter figure was not satisfactory, and
he has asked to be relieved OF the re-
sponsibility OF fixing the salary. turn
ing the question over to congress.

TiIIman'S Neat Thrust.

In discussing a bill in the Senate
Mr.. Hoar, referring to the training Of
sailors in civil life. said there was an
other fact not generally known. Our
independence in the war of the revolu-
ton had been won at sea. 1t was not
the French alliance. but the rate OF
maritime insurance which compelled
the unwilling moaarch to come to
peace. The rate of insurance on Eng
lish commercial ships then was 2S per
cent in the Mediterranean. After
Mr.. Bac had protested that it was
the valor of our soldiers and sailors
that enabled the colonies to gain their
independence and not the rates Of in
surance on English ships. Mr.. Tillman
insisted that Mr.. Hoar should give
some OF the credit of achieving inde-
pendence to the ether colonies than
New England. Amid laughter and
applause, he declared: There's glory
enough to 60 round, as our great ad-

4 TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE.
An Earthquake Shock Brings wreck
and Eu;; &c :: MEXICAN Town.

2Eti is;liI &C - .sESNica2 Town.
One OF the most terrible catIs-
trop:.-: ever recorded in the states Of
Guerrero Mexico. is reported to have
occurred late Friday afternoon when
an extremely violent earthquake silGck
was felt al CAil2ancingo. clusing 4
great l,ss Of life ana ;njHring many
persons. Details from the stricken
district are very meagre but scatter
inc reports received here Friday night
indicate that probably 800 persons
were killed and us many more injured.
1t is known that the state capitol.
the parish church and mary business
houses ard residences are in ruins.
and there is much suffering is d re-
result Of the awful seismic dlstur-
bance. One OF the edifces that Snf-
fered most was the federal telegraph
office. which explains the paucity OF
news that has so far reached this city.
Later meagre details began to arrive
here. The telegraph lines and appara-
tus at Chilpancingo were badly dam
aged. but the employees, all of whom
were uninjured, quickly proceeded to
erect an improyised telegraph Office
on the outskirts Of the city.
The number of deaths Was greater
in the parish church than ir any
single place, as crowd of WorshipperS
were gathered there for the afternoon
service. The solid mas0nry-walled
room came topping down on the wor-
shippers as if it had been wrencned
from it's bearings by a thousand strong
hands. Several people were killed
there. The war department has CT
dered the troops in tie neighborhood
to cooperate in the work OF rescue.
Until this work is completed it will be
impossible to accurately learn the
number of victims. 1t is believed
however. that this is one of the most
destructive seismic phenomena that
has occurred in Mexico. The German
part of the population Of Chilpancingo
are camping out under tents around
the town, which is five days journey
from the national capital.
Earthquake shocks were felt in
many other cities and towns. In
Mexico City the earthquake took
place at 5:17 Friday afternoon and
was of such violence as to Shake the
most substantial buildings. The pan
American congress was in session at
the time and many of the delegates
were greatly alarmed. The first move
ment was one Of trepidation and was
very sharp. 1t was followed by an
easier oscillatory movement north
northeast to south-southwest. The
duration was ifty-hye seconds. The
damage in this city was only slight.
The state Of Guerrero has always
been the focus OF seismic disturbances.
Reports received here Friday night
state that the shock was very severe
at Chilapa. No casualties are so far
reported from here. In duration the
Chilpancingo shock was less prolonged
than that in Mexico City. having
lasted fifty seconds against ffty-five
seconds at the capital.
