ADJUSTMENTS.
The Minstrels.

Al. G. Field has surrounded himself with A number of excellent rinstrel show features, and this year he is presenting one of the most up-to date and finest rro- auctions which has bean seen here in a great while.
 At the Jefferson theatre. last night the standing room o'ly" sign had to te hung out long before the curtain vent up, and there were soma who left the theatre, unable to even get .hat accommodation. The house was crowded and the entire audience enjoyed itself to the fullest ex- tent.
 The scenery, the music and the jokes were all good and the comedians seemed to be in high feather, so fiuently did they spin the endless chain of laughter-produc- ing comedy. It was their night and they took a shot at everything from married life down to the Birmingham baseball team, congratulatlng that crowd on not finishing last.
 Among the singers in the first part the applause was awarded to Reese Prosser, who sang Down in Mobile Long Ago and Dear Old Girl" a new song. which proved quite a hit. The finest singing, however. was that of Matt Keefe who has an excellent tenor, which Is full of sympathy. His lullaby brought the house down.
 One of the best comedy scenes was "The Niger and the Fiddle into which was introduced some clever dancing and a characteristic crap game between the parson and the deacons. In a black make up AL Field introduced clever heart to heart talk with the audience on matri- mony and other subjects. His line of con yersation was new and bright. Tommy Donnelly and Harry Shunk, the end men, introduced some jokes which were great laugh makers
 The finale was a burlesque circus. which had its funny parts and was good night cap. The costumes were pretty and some of them were elaborate and hand some.

JUDGE FEAGIN HEARS
 A GREAT MANY CASES
White Woman and Negro Man Bound Over for Miscegenation-They
 Are In Jail.

An unusually large number of people were bound over to the criminal court yesterday by Judge Feagin on various charges. The most sensational of these was a white woman and a negro man who were charged with miscegenation, which is a very serious crime in this state. The bonds of each were fixed at $500 and in default of that amount they were sent to the county jail.
 The negro man Is Will Brown and the woman was going under the name of Anna Brown, although 1t was found in court that her correct name is Mary Richardson. Witnesses testified that the negro and white woman had been living together as man and wife for some time They also swore that they had known the woman for a long time and that her par ents were white people and that she was raised as a white child and went to the white schools.
 Three negro women were bound over to the Criminal court under $500 bonds each on a charge of grand larceny. They are accused of stealing SS5 from the pock- ct of w. W. Kirkpatrick, a white man, in a house in Fourth alley between Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets. Accord ing to the evidence in court the three wo- men were standing on the street when the white man came down towards town. He entered into conversation with them and they finally went back to this house.
 Kirkpatrick went to the police head quarters that night and reported the mat ter and the women were arrested the fol- lowing morning. These are two of the most peculiar cases which have been be- fore Judge Feagin in long time

Berlin, September 21.-At today's meeting of the International sta tistical conference, M. Levasseur, one of the French delegates, called atten- tion to the geographical curiosity in the case of the extent of the princi- pality of Monaco, which, he said, was given as twenty times greater than it really is.

JUDGE APPROVES
 OF NEW SOCIETY
Says Some One to Provide Homes for Orphans is Needed
IS ORPHANS HOME SOCIETY
Takes Children and Secures Them Homes In Good Families, Where They VIII Be Properly
 Brought Up.

Judge Feagin Is very much pleased with the movement to establish an Or phans Home society in Birmingham, and he is rendering G. w. Stone, the agent, all the aid in his power. MT. Stone and Judge Feagin were in conference for some time yesterday, and as a result they are arranging a board of directors to have charge of the society in Alabama.
 The object of the society is to find per manent homes for orphan and neglected children in the state. The work is be- Ing successfully conducted in other states, and the society proposes to enter Alabama at once In speaking of it yesterday af- ternoon Judge Feagin said:
 Juvenile Court.
 ~"The society would be of great assist ance to me in the juvenile court if the bill is passed providing for that court. It will be introduced tomorrow and I sin cerely hope that 1t will pass. The does not call for any appropriation, takes no money out of any one's pocket and is merely a charitable measure.
 "If the court is established then this Orphans Home society will be an auxili- ary and a great benefit. It would take the children arrested and brought before the court and provide permanent homes for them, and in this way would greatly reduce temptation to crime and make fewer criminals. It Is a national move ment and is proving helpful in every com munity where organized.
 History of Crime.
 "It is the history of criminology that the criminals always spring from children who are not cared for and have no one to look after them. Their training Is neg lected and as a natural result they fall into bad company and gradually drift from bad to worse.
 T have several cases pending in this court and am awaiting for the juvenile court bill to become a law so that I may dispose of them in a different way from that now provided by law. I would like to have this Orphans Home society es- tabished now so that I could turn these children over to them and let them se- cure proper homes. The home is the nat ural place for the care and culture of children

It is stated on high authority that the rumor circulating in Ensley to the effect that the steel mill would be shut down October l is without the least foundation. On the contrary, the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company Is pushing it's im- provements at the steel plant for the pur- pose of increasing it's output.
 The rail mill is in first class shape but it cannot be worked to anything like it's full capacity until the steel mill can sup ply more material. It is believed that by the 1st of February, perhaps earlier, the new work at the steel plant will be practically completed and that then rails will be turned out at the rate of eight or nine hundred tons a day.

Be strong. Those are not strong who attain only wealth and knowledge. To be strong means to put your faith and hope in God. The solution of life is plain, simple faith in God. True worship of God Is by deeds. Ills voice is the call of duty. His service is a life of purity and love. The only true worship means ser- vice and responsibility and by service is meant upstanding under trials and tribu- lations. Slaves of the body are never masters of life.

JEWISH NEW YEAR IS DULY OBSERVED The Lords Chosen People Hold Impressive Services TEMPLE EMANUEL FILLED Rabbi NewfieId Delivered an Able Dis course on the New Year and on
 Some of the Problems
 of Life.

The incoming of the Jewish new year was celebrated with appropriate services by the Jewish congregations of Birming- ham.
 The Rosh Hashonoh began at sunset yesterday, and according to the Mosaic calendar it is numbered 5664. The ortho- dox Jews began their services at 6:30 p. m. which they assumed to be the hour of sunset and held most impressive ceremo- nies at the new synagogue of the con- gregation K K'Nesseth-Israel.
 Temple Emanuel. at the corner of Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street, was filled with congregation of the liberal Jewish faith when the services began at o'clock. Grambs played professional on the or gan, after which the choir sang a song of praise Rabbi Morris Newfield then offered a prayer for blessings on the new year.
 The regular service, with responses by the congregation and choir, followed, af- ter which a violin solo by William Gussen of the Birmingham Conservatory of Mu- sic was heard with much pleasure by the audience. The choir which was made up of Miss Helen Kaufman, soprano Miss Carrie Ullman, alto; R. B. Armour and B. L. Michaeson, tenors, and Wyatt Heflin, basso, rendered some most enjoy able music.
 The Rabbi's Discourse.
 Rabbi Newfields address was pro- nounced one of his ablest efforts. The rabbi caid in brief:
 Tn looking upon the new year and it's of the old year, too much stress should not be laid on it's periodic importance. Every day is judgment day. Tke end of the year or the end of the century should be looked upon as being of no more consequence than the end of each day.
 The particular importance of these days is that they have been singled out by Judaism to give special significance snd call special attention to certain du- ties. The days voice the appeal of the master of Hte's mysteries The days of life are the pages of a script we cannot decipher
 1he speahsr lIeh tooh up tne quesuoil of life to the individual What is suc- cess in life? Are the successful better thsn the weddings of life? Success is not alweys tine wage of merit We may be happy and our neighbor miserable. but is that because of out superior merit or virtue Life Is a mystery. The future Is unknown to us. We know not what a day may bring forth and therefore the frivolous say that to live we should enjoy each day as it passes. Others be- lieve that earthly grief means heavenly joy Judaism cannot find it's solution of life in the belief that suffering here means happiness in the fife to come
