Camp Clayton No. 4S2, United Sons of Confederate veterans, held a we'll attended meeting at the court house last night, Commandant II. M. McNutt presiding.
 The question of entertaining the visiting members of Sons of Confederate veterans and Confederate veterans when they come to the state reunion, which will be held in Birmingham in September. was dis- cussed at some length and the chairman was empowered to appoint committee of ten with the commandant as ex-offclo chairman, to take the matter in hand and report at special meeting to be held at the court house on Monday, July 6, at p. m.
 The adjutant. Judge H. B. Abernathy. reported that the membership of the camp had reached between thirty and forty in number and was constantly increasing. There were several applications for mem bership at the meeting last night.

 Miss Proctor was truly clever as "Athe- nais" Her task was difficult one, in as much as the character rather repulses than attracts but surely it could not have been better played.
 Of the men they were all quite good. Possibly some have done better work since their recent advent at East Lake; but as a whole they were exceptionally well cast and groomed.
 MT Weston's "Ironmaster" stamps him an actor of no common order. In re- pose, strength, deiicacy and general bear ing he was all that the past. could de- mand. and he made a true and genuine hit in 1t.

Mrs. William Snyder.

As a sad shock to the many friends of MT. and Mrs. William Snyder came the news of the death on Sunday of Mrs. Snyder. She died at Pulaski, Va. Her health had been failing for some tune, but MT. and Mrs. Snyder had gone to Virginia hoping that the change would prove beneficial, and so her friends in this city were totally un- prepared for the news of her death. Mrs. Snyder had lived for many years in Birmingham and was esteemed and loved by a large circle of acquaint- ances.
 The sudden death of Mrs. Snyder's daughter, Mrs. o. M. Wake, in New castle, Pa, about two months ago, greatly prostrated Mrs. Snyder. The deceased was 62 years of age. She was a devoted member of the Presby- terian church and sincere Christian. She is survived by her husband and the following children: William O.. Snyder, Mrs. w. J. Lasseter and Dr. Ross Snyder of Birmingham, Mrs. P. Miller and Miss Marcia Snyder of Pu- laski, and MT Henry Snyder of Green castle, Pa.
 The remains will be taken to Green ci.stle for lnterment.

SNAKE FIGHT.
Terrific Combat In Miniature Over a
 Little Frog.

'eThat story about snakes having such a fine regard for the property rights of each other was all right, and was glad to know that some one would put in good word for the snake" said a man from one of the parishes. ''but as much as I would like to believe In these fine ethical refinements In connection with reptilian life, I recall one instance which seems to mar at least a portion of the theory with respect to the snakes line sense of justice. One of the fiercest bat ties I ever saw was between two snakes, and the stake was small frog, meas ley little frog that wasn't worth fighting for. The fight was in a clear break in the edge of the Louisiana marsh and l had a good, uninterrupted view of the event My attention was attracted to the combat by the swirl and splash or water. Did you ever see a whirlwind playing along a dusty surface? Did you ever see a comic papers picture of cat nght? We'll that was the way the hght between the snakes impressed me. The water was spraying around In the form of an eddy, and 1t was some little time before could get a glimpse of the snakes. Whether they were trying to drown each other, choke each other, or what they were trying to do, l cannot say. But never saw a fiercer tempest in small area. I did not know what the trouble was until the subsidencelset in, when the snakes had reached the point when they could do more than lash with their tails and hiss at each other. Finaly. one ot them broke and scuttled to the bank with the other hissing defances at him. When the scudder had disappeared Tn the weeds at the edge of the water the conquerer, more dead than aiiVe' as re sult of the conflict, pulled his energies to- gether, and, swimming distance of some five or six feet, grabbed the little frog which had been the innocent cause or all the trouble Which snake got the frog first, of course, l do not know put I am justified in thinking that the trog was the cause of all the trouoie, Ut over the frog. but that was the impress sion that got at the time, and 1t was the only apparent excuse for the display or beliiserency"

ADJUSTMENTS.
The BlIou Tonight.

A large and representative audience had the pleasure last night of witnessing very fine production of An American Citizen" by the Joseph Kilgour company at the Bijou. The company is all that was expected of 1t, and more.
 Although portions of the piece were played under very difficult conditions, rarely has an audience at the Bijou shown such enthusiasm and appreciation. The applause was frequent and long after each of the acts, and at times 1t burst out spontaneously during the acts.
 The play abounds in keen wit and humor, and can only be handled by mas ters of the histrionic art. Many of these lines fall to the lot of Joseph Gilgour, as Bersford Cruger, and the impression he made is one rarely equalled by an actor on his first appearance here.
 Miss Nora o'Brien! From the time she comes on the stage until the last curtain falls on her, a contented wife, she is the actress. Besides talent she has looks such as are rarely given to a woman. and united with her pretty and tasteful gowns she is wonderfully striking.
 AHu NILES tffdCe OlDDOHs IS d1OLneF clever little woman with lots of good looks. She plays the part of George Chapin, an American girl. as one would imagine the part should be played.

 FOR MR. PAYNE Unused Postal Device Cost the Government Just $45,OOO .ARtSTILL IN THE STOREROOM Device Was to Be Used for Indicating the Hours of Collection of Mall
 on Boxes and Was Invented
 In California.
ARE STILL IN THE STOREROOM

Washington. June 22.-The Post tomor' row will say that among the matters which Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral Bristow Is Investigating is the pur- chase from a California company, the Postal Device and Improvement company of some 17.Oo0 devices for indicating the hours of collection of mall. The inven- ton is that of the postmaster at San Francisco. 1t Is said.
 It Is also said that 1000 of these devices originally were ordered at cost of sl or more each. a profit of 100 per cent on cost, and the allegation Is made that 2 further order for 10000 was placed not withstanding the original 1000 devices were not used, but were reposing in a storehouse.
 Made Up of Postal Employees.
 The company controlling the device was largely made up of California postal employees. and the Post will say that 1t Is informed that former Representative Loud of California, formerly chairman of the house postoffice committee, took an active part in their behalf. and wrote NA-S department, and in one of them said 1t would be an accommodation to him if the matter were attended to.
 After the company had difficulty in se- curing It's money for the device MT. Loud, the Post will say. appeared at the de- pertinent in its behalf, but specifically disclaimed any interest in the company other than 1t was composed of his con stituents. He took the ground that what ever the necessity or lack of necessity, for the device, constituents of his had secured the contract and furnished the articles called for. Therefore, he believed they should be paid, as the government had stipulated to pay them
 During his recent visit to Washington MT. Loud on certain of his visits to the department, took up some of these unpaid bills, making it plain, however that he appeared only in behalf of constituents, and not as one financially interested In the company.
 Cost Just $45,ooo.
 The allegation was made, the Post will say, that $45,000 of the deficiency of $105,- 900 in the free delivery service with which Mr Machen is charged, was due to pur- chases of the device in question, but at the postoffice department this was denied, and the statement made that the mat ter was under investigation. Complaints also had been made, 1t was said, that at the instance of MT. Loud, the rolls at the Presidlo had been padded with postal employees. but at the postoffice department they were without any knowledge of such a thing one way or the other. An effort was made to get a statement from Mir. Machen on the subject, but he declined to either confirm or deny the reports.
