n vacation novelty. To
build a two-story frame
house, from the digging OF
the cellar to its painting. is
what is being attempted by
one man during these hot summer days.
Prof. G. B. McNIullen of the chair Of
physics of Shortridge high school is the
promoter of this new method of summer
pastime.
Peda gogical demeanor and professional
thought wrinkles are not in evidence now.
A busy air, with sweat and perhaps bit
of red mortar are more trade-like, if not
so pleasant.
Already, as the illustrations show, Prof.
McMullen is making progress.
One month ago the thought of building
his own home first entered his mind. To a
less determined Individual it would have
passed as quickly as it came. After some
careful planning the professor came to
the conclusion that such feat was with
in the bounds of the possible, a little
arduous, perhaps. but then the greater the
work the more pleasure in It's accom-
plishment. So reasoned he, in very log
ical and professional manner.
On the 18th of July a lot midway be-
tween Illinois and Meridian-sts., on Thir-
ty-sixth-st., was purchased.
On the 14th-two days 1ater-work be-
gan. And it began with rush.
The first day more than six loads of
brick had been hauled and the cellar was
excavated to depth of two feet.
And nv one man with tho axoop+io,, 30
two friends who assisted him slightly

COUSIN
Now the foundation is finished and work
on the frame of the house has begun.
All this is being done by schedule. Each
= stage in the building is timed to nicely
that is, so far. The professor may fail
in some of his calculations.
By the Sd Of August the foundation and
the lower part of the frame are to be
Gone
BY the 10th, the entire frame to be up.
All the floors down, rooted, ETC., ready
to plaster, by the 1st of September.
Entire house ready for occupancy by the
first week of October.
This is what Prof. McMullen with
scholarly deduction has arranged. And
unless something unforeseen occurs that
arrangement will be followed out in de-
tail.
The professors brick walls are straight
as leveler and plumb can make them-and
until the 18th OF the month he never laid
brick in his life.
The frame work looks like the product
of a union hand, yet he is but very anna
teur tinker" with the hammer and saw.
The plumbing will be comparatively
easy, as the professor spent several sum-
mers in the employ of the Champion Iron
works of Canton, o. His lines and curves
of pipe will certainly be works of art.

SHOT DOWN IN STORE
:. W. REARDY FATALLY ! WOUNDED IN MOBILE.
Gilbert Jarvis, Who Used the Weapon, Accused Reardy of Hav- ing Caused the Ruin of
 His Niece.

Mobile, Sept. 30.-(Special. e-About 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, Harry w. Reardy. bookkeeper for Bloch Bros, and also a notary public, was shot and fatally wounded in the store of his employers at the corner of Water Street and Ex- change Alley by Gilbert Jarvis, who gave himself up at the sheriffs office after the shooting. refusing to make any further statement of the shooting than that he was forced to do 1t.
 At the hour named Jarvis went to the store and called Reardy from the office to narrow passageway alongside the office. When Ready reached him, Jarvis. who is much the larger man of the two, grabbed Reardy with his left hand and with his right hand in his coat pocket, clutching his pistol, began to shoot Reardy. He fired four shots, three of which took effect, one in the abdomen. the other in the back and a third in the hand.
 After the shoting Jarvis left the store, went staight to the sheriff's office and gave himself up Reardy said that he had been shot for nothing.
 Since the shooting it has developed that Jarvis charged Reardy with the ruin of his neice and that for several days he has been trying to get Reardy to consent to marry her. Reardy, it seems. has been afraid of trouble with Jarvis, for today was the first time he has been at the store for four days. It Is said that he refused to marry the girl. claiming that he was innocent of the charge.
 At last accounts Reardy was still alive.

INAUGURATION OF FAST TRAIN
 POSTPONED UNTIL NOVEMBER
Flyer from New York to New Orleans Which Passes Montgomery at 3:3O a. m., Will Not Begin
 Running on October 9.

It is said to be doubtful if the pro- posed fast mail train from New York to New Orleans will be inaugurated on Oc- tober 9 as announced. No definite infor- nation as to the date of it's inauguration is at hand but it is said November has been fixed as the date it will begin run ming.
 It is known how the train will run go- ing South from Montgomery but how the Louisville and Nashville road will bring it back from New Orleans to Montgom- cry has not been determined.
 At present train No. arrives in Mont gomery from New Orleans at 6:15 a. m., bringing the connection for the Southern, the Western train leaving at 6:20 a. m. Train No. then stays in the shed for two hours and ten minaaes, leaving for Cincinnati at S:25 a. m.
 There is a proba bility that when the new train goes on there will be two sec tions of train No. ? out of New Orleans instead of one section as at present. The first section will leave New Orleans at the same time as at present, arriving in Montgomery with the Western connec- tion at the same time that it does now. The second section will leave New Or leans two hours after the first section and instead of the two hours lay over at the Montgomery Union station here the train will go on through to Cincinnati with only ten minutes stop in Montgom- cry.
 Western Railroad men are working on a new time card, but Superintendent Ed wards said yesterday that it would not affect the arrival or departure time of any of the regular trains at terminals and very slightly on the road.

RECORDS BROKEN AT THEATRE
 BY AL FIELDS MINISTRIES
Two Of the Largest Audiences Ever Seen in Play house Endorsed the SumptuOuS Entertainment
 Provided by Comedians.

Two of the greatest audiences that ever witnessed the matinee and night perform ances of Al G. Fields minstrels yesterday.
 The matinee crowd broke all records. Fifteen minutes before the curtain went up all standing room had been sold.
 Tn the time that l have been connected with the Montgomery Theatre" said Sam Hirscher, co-manager, T have never seen such a matinee audience. It broke all matine records at the theatre"
 The night audience, if such thing was possible, was even larger than that at the matinee. The gallery was a solid mass of humanity. the balcony was over flowing and in the parQuette all doors were filled and the purchasers of stand ing room tickets lined the walls. And scores of persons were turned away.
 The performance was well worthy of the patronage. It was more than a spectacular production, brilliant in scenic beauty. But in scenic gorgeousness it was not alone great. The men who made the show were in keeping with its scenic excellence.
 Al Field has appeared before the American public in minstrel perform ances more years than he would probably care to admit, but in all his career, he never had part in a better performance than was twice witnessed in Montgomery yesterday He has each year set the standard of minstrel performance. but this year he has surpassed anything that has gone before He has realized that minstrel organization cannot go back ward. It must go forward to retain public approval. He has been alive to the call for novelty and he has met the demand. Herein lies his great success. The entertainment bears the stamp of his individuality It Is a monument to his managerial ability.
 The scenic beauty of the opening piece was startling. It was a gorgeous bal cony scne and as the splendidly costum- ed performers marched over the balcony aud wound about the stage the audience was thrilled. The spectacular features of this opening scene embraced the best of Fields novelties. They include a panoramic view of New York a view | of Madison Square Garden of Bartholdi statute and Brooklyn bridge. A marvel ous electrical reproduction of a thunder | storm was given and the spectacular feat | ure closed with beautiful view of Peace l full Valley" followed by the scenic re- production an ivy covered church through whose mullioned windows foated the strains of Verdi's Crowned with the | Tempest"

Western Meeting Postponed.

Yesterday was the day for the annual meeting in Montgomery of the stock holders and directors of the Western of Alabama Railroad, but it has been post poned and no date set.
 Whether there is any significance in this postponement in view of the Louis vile and Nashville. Morgan and Allan tic Coast Line complication is not knowh Probably something more will be known after the annual meeting of the Louis- vile and Nashville in Louisville today
 President Harry Walters of the Coast Line and President Milton H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville are not only close personal friends, but the two cor porations have pretty close traffic ar engagements.
 Several years ago, it will be remember ed, President Smith of the Louisville and Nashville, who was on the Board of Di- rectors of the Western. had his name taken off and the name of President Wal ters of the Coast Line substituted. At that time the Louisville and Nashville

carried too far and he has retained the old time favorites that assisted in mak- ing his minstrels famous in years gone by. The singers and dancers, upon whom the public put its stamp of approval, Fields has grappled to his managerial soul with hooks of steel Reese Prosser, most admired of sweet voiced minstrels, Doc Quigley, the best of dancers, Tommy Donnelly, Billy Murray, John Phillips and other favorites of old, came forward to meet their usual public approval.
 A slim lad from California, Matt Keefe, sang himself into the favor of the Mont gomery theatregoers The new tenor be- came an instant favorite.
 The bright particular star of the whole performance, however, was Reese Pros ser, who has been called the greatest bal lad singer in America. He has d remark able tenor voice, clear, melodiouS and effective. He sings with expression and without effort. His reception last night was little short of an ovation. His first selection was the beautiful ballad by Mrs. Kate Slaughter Mckinney of Mont gomery. Mid Green Kentucky Pastures" There were repeated outburts of ap applause from the audience and the singer was recalled again and again.
 Doc Quigley, the eccentric dancer and his comedy legs scored as usual. Billy Murray won his audience in an up-to-dat9 coon song. The approval of the audience was voted the entire congress of singers.
 The olio was filled with good things. First of all there was Al G. Field who submitted a few remarks. The re- marks were in Fields best style. The humor was pronounced and the philos- ophy was good. He was given a most cor dial greeting.
 Field has achieved in the olio what has been considered the impossible. the evo- lution of a new idea in the old-time mu sical act The Mignani family. the mu- sical barbers of Seville were unique and decidedly entertaining.
 The Faust family of acrohats gave one of the most sensational erformances ever seen Tn Montgomery either on the stage or in the circus ring.
 The Clipper Quartette in the effective bit Uncle Eph Dream" more than pleased.
 The closing piece, a travesty called King Of the Filiplr Cs," was screaminsly funny. The audience laughed itself sore. Fields minstrels may be regarded as the highest and hest opponents of that class of entertainment. The performance may not he elevating and it may not contain thoughts and ideas that appeal to the intelligence of the audience, but it pleasas and amuses. It banishes the | care of the workaday world and in this it's purpose is serv4d.

with the Central of Georgia controlled the Georgia Railroad from Augusta to Atlanta and soon after a Western Ra'l- road meeting in Montgomery the Louls- vile and Nashville turned over it's inter- est in the Georgia road to the Atlantic Coast Line.
 Some time after that there was story about a probable division of the Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville from Augusta to Montgomery. The Cer- tral having a representative on the Board of Directors of the Western roal was making a fight at that time. but since the Gates Morgan Louisville and Nash vile and Atlantic Coast Line combina- . tion conditions are different The Gen. tral, being under the Morgan domination, would easily be led into the deal, and 1t is not at all outside of the range of pos- sibil.ty that in the NeSy near future ther 3 will be a division from Augusta to Mont gomery.
 These things may explain the postpons g. ment of the annual meeting of the West ern. Railroad matters are in muchly befuddled condition and important de- velopments are looked for within the next few weeks

ROBBED OF $500.
Safe of Crescent News Company Was
 Entered

Safe of Crescent News Company Was
 Entered.
 When Manager Swegart of the dining room in the Montgomery Union Railway Station opened the safe in his office yes terday morning he made the discovery that he was minus $500.
 Just when the money was taken is a mystery. All that is known is that it was taken some time between 10 o'clock Monday night and 6 o'clock yesterday morning. The safe did not have the ap- pearance of having been tempered with. The $500 in the safe was for the purpose of paying off the employees of the dining room today and the supposition is that the robbery was committed by some per son acquainted with that fact.
 Officials of the Crescent News Company will be in Montgomery this morning when a thorough investigation of the robbery will be made.
 This is the second time within the past few months that robbery has been committed at the Union Station.

SALOONS OR NO SALOONS"
Is the question the Supreme court
has now under consideration.

A test case which will be Of interest
to several cities in the state is now
before the supreme court, having been
submitted last week. IL questions
the right of the legislature to enact
special legislation by which certain
cities may grant licenses to sell liquors
without the consent of the county
court. Such places as Clarksburg,
Sistersyille, Grafton, and Others which
by special act Of the legislature are
permitted to grant license or not
without regard to the county court
will be effected by the decision which
will probably be handed downih few
weeks.
The legislature. at its last session,
granted to Grafton the right 10 regu-
late It's own liquor selling, and acting
under this law the city councigranted
license TO all applicants. But the
county court, which under the law
was required to grant state license to
all Persons holding the city license,
refused to do so and the supreme
court was appealed to for a manda-
mus to compel the county court to
perform it's duty in the premises.
The case was argued and submitted
last week.
