The dance aud entertainment Civ.

last night was a most enjoyable
affair The club, which is compos-
cd exclusively OF German singers,
was recently reorganizsd, and isin
a prosperous condition. The young
or and more progressive element is
now 10 control, and last nights
affair was their first attempt at en-
tertaining. That it was successful,
the attendance OF nearly hundred
merry couples amply attests. De,
lightful music was furnished by the
Hawaiian Quintet orchestra, also re-
Gently organized, with w S. Ellis
as leader. Their orchestral num-
bers were supplemented by numer-
GUS pretty Hawaiian songs, in which
now and then the dancers joined.

Nearly Broke Record

SAN FRANoIsoo, Dec. 2l.-Csptain
Johnson, on the American baik
Roderick Dhu, has almost beat en-
the sailing record between the Ha-
waiisn Islands aud this port when
adverse winds blew his vessel from
her course and away to the north
ward.
The record is nine days. Coming
up from Hilo, the Roderick Dhp
logged from 800 TO $50 miles day
dnring the first five days. Then
Then she was within 700 miles Of
San Francisco, and Captain johnson
confidently expected to complete
his run in seven days. Atthe be-
ginning of the sixth day, however, q
dead calm came on, and it was an
other case of tsf
"Where--where was Roderick
theni"
The calm wos OF short duration,
but it was succeeded by strong head
winds. Captain johnson put about
aud stood as far north as fl degrees,
whick is about the latitude OF
Eureka. Hs'was compelled to beat
all the way back, and 30 his voyage
was heightened ~out into fourteen
days. fHCl Y tt1' 2iI0q~
There were Eve passengers on the
Roderick Dhu, including Drs and
SMra Blake sof Honolulu. Many
peIsons are coming up from the
Islands on the ssilips yessels, but
most Of them came on craft that
started ahead ofAthe Roderick Dhu,
in order to be sure OF getting here
before Christmas. Captain John
sons bark, however, has beaten the
fleet, which includes the bark St.
Katherine, now nineteen days out
from Hilo; the bark S. @. Allen,
twenty -four days out from Homo
lvlu; the barks Santiago and Mohi-
gan, both out nineteen days; the
bark Mauna A'a, out eighteen days,
and the schooner W. H. Marston,
out seventeen days, all the latter
vessels from Honolulu.

Put Wires q nder. Ground.

lLoNpoN, Dec. 81 The breakdown
OF Epglaud's telegr aphic system,
which is still in a state Of semi-chaos
as shss fesult yof the recent severe
storm. has produced widespread
demand for underground wires
This system is already in use be-.
tween London and Birmingham and
ia being extended northward. The
postotfice authorities point to the
tremendous expense which would
be involved in changing from over
head to underground wires through
out the Uaited Kingdom, but those
who are agitatlng for the change
maintain that the loss caused by the
recent storms would have gone far
toward delraying the outlay which
the postoffice breads.
4 Itlis estimated that London alone
lost f200 GOO by the breaking down
OF the telegraph wires, while the
railroads calculate their loss from
the same cause at about 100000.
Another objection put forward by
the Government is that under
ground wires are sloper and harder
to work than overhead wires
Though the damage was inflicted
over a week ago, tslegraphic and
telephone communication between
London and the provinces is still in
complete and, in some instances, 'iP
not yetTestored.

KENNEDY TO STAY
 IN THIRD REGIMENT
CAPTAIN WILL RESIGN AS CON- WANDER OF VOLUNTEERS TO BECOME REGlMENTAL ADJu- TANT ON HIGDoN'S STAFF.

Captain Hughes B. Kennedy of the Jefferson Volunteers does not intend tc get out of the State militia, as some may have thought from his remarks tc the members of his company Monday night. Captain Kennedy will resign as commander of the volunteers in the event Colonel Higdon Is reinstated to become adjutant of the Third regiment. In dis cussing the matter last night Captain Kennedy said:
 T told the members of my company that as soon as Colonel Higdon was re- instated, which I expected would be done In a few days, I would tender my resig- nation as commander of the company to be transferred to the staff. 1 have been acting adjutant of the regiment for some time and the permanent office has been offered me and I have accepted it do not intend to quit the military and will remain in the Third regiment"

SCHULERS TO BE
 SENT TO JAIL TODAY
ALABAMA STEEL AND WIRE CON-
 PANY OFFICERS, ADJUDGED
 GUILTY OF CONTEMPT, WILL BE SENT TO JAIL TODAY NOON.

Unless something unforeseen occurs E. T ScEuler and c. II. Schuler, directors and majority owners of the Alabama Steel and Wire Company who were re. gently adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Judge w. w Wilkinson of the City Court and sentenced to five days in the county jail will begin serving their sentence at noon today
 The sentence of Judge Wilkinson was based on a suit brought against the two Fchulers by c. E. Robinson, who alleged that he was a minority stockholder in the Alabama Steel and Wire Company, and as such he had obtained an order of court directing the defendants to allow him to Inspect the books. That they had re- fused to do this and had burned certain books to prevent his seeing them. The hearing of the contempt proceedings last ed a weeek and the decision of Judge Wilkinson was made d week ago yester- day, but on representations made to him of sickness in the family of one of the defendants it's execution was postponed until today at noon. The defendants un- der the order of the court will have to stay in jail until noon Sunday
 So far no application or pleadings have been filed asking for a further stay of sentence and it is probable that the de- fendants will begin today the serving of their sentence

VISITED BIRMINGHAM
 TWELVE YEARS AGO.

While en route from Anniston to Birm- inghem Mrs Davis talked much to Cap tain Francis, MT. Yerger and MT. Rains of Birmingham. She said she was interested in the city more than many others be- cause her husband had often spoken of it as the greatest iron center in the world and he predicted that some day it would easily lead every other city in the world in its export of iron and its products.
 Mrs. Davis said she had watched the growth of Birmingham with great inter- est and had gradually seen the predic- tons made by MT. Davis come true.
 Mrs. Davis leaves Birmingham today at noon for Meridian, Miss, en route to Beauvior, Miss, where the family prop erty is located

NORTH BIRMINGHAM
 WANTS COMPROMISE
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD TO ARRANGE FOR ONE INCORPORA- TON INSTEAD OF TWo-ELEc. TON FEBRUARY 27.

A mass meeting of citizens of North Bii mingham Las been called to meet at J. T. Hills office ever J. A. Cunning hams store, Friday night, February 14, at o'clock to try and settle the compli- cated election problem which will come up February 27, when two plans of in corporation will be voted on unless some compromise can be arranged
 The call for the mass meeting is si :n- cd by Mtssrs. G. B. Mitchell, J. s. Smith, C. P. Owen, J. F. Knight cnd R. l.. Ham, iltcn a majority of the commissioners ap- pointed by Judge of Probate J. F. Stiles to hold the two elections.
 In a card issued by them giving the rt asons for the call they state that a petition was first filed with the Judge of Probate signed by 9S citizens of North Birininghs m who live on the north side of the creek asking that he call an elec- tion to determine whether the people of that locality wished to become incorpor- ated. Later q petition was presented to Ju6ge Stiles signed by 136 citizens of North Birmil sham who lived on both sides of the cree elk asking that an cleo ticn be called to determine whether the citizens wished to becor.e incorporated with the territory embraced in the first petition and additional territory on the south side of the creek Judge Stiles ap- | rointed comm ,ss ions to hold both cleo ti0ns and set February 27 as the 6ate for both elections.
 T. he majority of the commissioners in tkeir call for mass meeting suggest that the matter be approached in a friendly and neighborly spirit and that the question Of incorporation and the boundaries be left to a white primary election to be held Saturday, February 22 with two voting places one at c. P. Owens store and tie ether at A. c. Jack sons hall each side being represented among the managers at each polling place.
 It is proposed in the event of incor- poration to protect the manufacturing plants in the community and such new ones as may be established by exempting them from taxation for a period of ten years from the time they begin opera tion.
