ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

'Thelma' drew very fair audiences to the Jefferson at the matinee yesterday afternoon and performance last night. Ac- cording to the handbills it was a thrilling and vivid dramatization of Marie Corelli' 8 intensely interesting story. See the land of the midnight sun. See the ice fields of Norway See the death of Sigurd, etc., etc. The play last night might have done very well at 25, 50 and 75c., but was out of place at the Jefferson. The scenic ef- fects in the first and fourth acts were good, while Miss Anna Stoddard was ac- ceptable as Thelma, although she was forced by an unfeeling playwright to ut- ter How dare youl'' several times. No other member of the company was con- spicuous for acting ability, but by all working together they managed to bring the story to close.

MESSAGE COMES
 FROM MURDERER
KING WILLING TO LET POLICE MAN NIX SHOOT HIM IF HE GAN FIRST GET SHOT AT NIX, so HE SAYS.

Policeman Joe Nix has received frequent messages recently from a negro who claims to be Henry King, in which he states that he will be willing to let the policeman kill him if he can first get a chance to kill Nix.
 These messages have come through va rious sources, some by letters and some by word of mouth, and they have as a general thing come pretty straight. The reason Henry King is supposed to be so anxious to kill Policeman Nix is because the latter made the negro lay down his pistol several years ago when he was try ing to kill another policeman.
 Policeman Nix said yesterday after noon that he could have killed the negro at that time and his conscience not hurt him, but that he would like to get an even break with the negro now. He said that if he had killed the negro then he would have saved Policeman Mullins life. Henry King is the negro who shot and killed Policeman Mullin the latter part of Sep tember on Twenty-seventh street and Sec ond avenue.

MORE INTEREST IN
 SOUTHERN PIG IRON
IT IS BELIEVED SOUTHERN IRONS HAVE REACHED A POINT WHERE PRICES WILL BE MUCH STEADIER.

Rogers, Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati Cir cular of yesterdays date says:
 There has been more interest in south ern iron on basis of present prices, and some of those who have been buying from week to week now talk about larger lots for delivery during the remainder Of the year It is too early to tell whether this interest will widen and deepen or whether 1t is merely coincidence that several large buyers are testing the market. It is very certain that at the ruling figures there is no profit in the business for many of the northern and southern fur naces, and if there is no revival in prices it is sure that production will be sharply curtailed as soon as present stocks of raw material are consumed. There is a feeling among furnaces that it will be better to continue operating in moder- ate way and use up the ore they have purchased rather than to carry it over, but they are almost unanimous in saying that they will not run at loss there after. With few exceptions their finan- clal cOnultlOn IS Sucn lidt they VIII HUI be obliged to operate
 It is believed that southern irons have reached point where prices will be much steadier than during the previous por- tion of the year, and no considerable fur ther decline is looked for.
 The supply of Ohio foundry iron does not seem to be excessive, and as cost has been reached, it is difficult to obtain con- sessions.

MASONS ID ERECT NINE STORY TEMPLE When Finished It VIII Cost
 About $90,O00 A HANDSOME STRUCTURE Vice President W. T. stradford of the Masonle Temple Association Fur
 nlshes Some Particulars
 of the New Edlfice.
A HANDSOME STRUCTURE

Birmingham's new Masonic Temple now promises to exceed the expectations of the most hopeful members of the temple association.
 at cost of s75,o0O. as has been projected, it is to be a nine-story building, including the basement and when complete will have cost in the neighborhood of ss0,- 600.
 The Building Committee.
 The building committee of the Masonic Temple association met yesterday and decided on the plans they desired the architect to follow. This committee con- of the association, Dr. J. H. Phillips and Rabbi Morris Newfield
 MT. Stradford, who is chairman of the committee, when seen by a reporter yes- terday said that he saw no reason why the building should not be erected and ready for dedication by October 1, 1904. The Odd Fellows and Knights of Pythias are negotiating with the association for long time leases, as these two fraternal orders are desirous of securing adequate permanent quarters.
 Outline Plan.
 The new building Is to be arranged as follows: Basement to contain heating machinery cafe, kitchen, barber shop, baths and billiard rooms. The first and second floors will be reserved for apart ments, while the third floor will consist of lodge rooms for fraternal orders
 The fourth floor will be arranged for the Knights of Pythias' halls and parlors and the fifth will be arranged for the Odd Fellows
 The sixth floor will be utilized for the Masonic Blue lodge, chapter and club par lors, and the seventh for the comman- dery and consstory. The eighth floor will be an immense banquet hall which will be at the disposal of such bodies as would desire a spacious room for ban quoting purposes.
 The banquet hall will be built with semi roof garden effect, suitable for all seasons of the year. This will be the only thing of it's kind in the south.
 The building will be fitted with two elevators, one electric and one hydraulic.
 The Entrances.
 The entrance to the basement and first and second floors will be on Nineteenth street, while the entrance to the upper portion will be on Sixth avenue It is im- possible to give any idea as to how the building will look, as it will take the architects some time to make the de- signs, but it is authoritatively stated that the edifice will be very handsome, and a credit to Birmingham from both point of view of architectural design and utility.
