Obituary..

Died on November, the 10 1908,
Lorenza Coleman, son of Jacob Roof
and wife Rebecca. This dear and very
attractive child only stopped over in
this land of storm, sorrow and death
the short period of two years, four
months and twenty-seven days. To
mourn his death is a father, mother,
four brothers and two sisters and
many relatives. Thus another one
has been added to that bright train
that surrounds the throne of God
forever.

MERCHANTS HELD
 SPECIAL MEETING
VARIOUS MATTERS WERE DIS GUESSED, HuI NO ACTION WAS TAkEN--No MEMBERS WITH DREW FROM THE EXCHANGE.

The Merchans' exchange held a special meeting at the Hotel IIillman last night which was largely attended The session was held behind closed doors, but after the adjournment the reporter was inform ed that no business was transacted
 The only topic of discussion was the statement of the Clerks union that the exchange was organized for the purpose of fighting unionism." The merchants wish 1t to be stated that such an idea is entirely erroneous and that the sole pur- pose of their association is to further the mercantile interests of Birmingham. They are already formulating plans by which the people living outside of the city will be attracted and induced to come and do their trading here.
 When asked as to whether the meeting was for the purpose of considering the resignation of certain members, a prom inent merchant stated that no resigna- tion had been handed in, but at the same time each and every member had. he said, that privilege.
 The next regular meeting of the Mer- chants exchange will be on the night of the second Monday in November.

At the 6iiou.

'"Not Guilty" another of the ultra melodramatic plays, was produced at the Bijou before a large audience last night, and seemed to please from start to finish.
 The play abounds in sensational scenes, which culminate in the daring leap for life from the burning building and the wonderful catch by 'the man hanging on the tree below. This requires great amout of special scenery and some ex- cellent stage mechanisms and the com pany Is well provided with them.
 The play is one which proves most popu- lar with the gallery and the top house. which goes wild over some of the scenes, and there is good sprinkling on the lower floor which derives pleasure from this variety of play, but it does not appeal to the better class of theatre goers as do some of the more standard plays and the larger musical comedies.
 The play. like it's two predecessors. will probably fill the Bijou for the entire week, as it is played by a company which has some capable people. It also has several interesting love scenes.

Mrs. Humphrey Wards Literary Bull
 wark Surmounted.

The dramatization of Mrs. Humphrey Wards novel, Lady Roses Daughter" {" which Charles Frohman presents at the Jefferson theatre tonight with Fay Davis and the members of the Empire Theatre Stock company of New York was written by George Fleming the author of suc- cessful novels herself. It is a peculiar juxtaposition that we behold-of one au- thor rewriting the work of another, set ting aside the stage purpose of the deed. The fact that Mrs. Ward has more or less based her writings on actual incl dents which have come under her obser- vation, patterning her narratives closely to the real scenes and personages, has elicited no little curiosity among her ex- tensive circle of readers. She has, how ever, been so adroit in cloaking the source of the inspiration to which she has had recourse at times, that no clues of her sublime afflatus have ever been discern ible Her present tale, in certain of it's episodes, seemed to be proof against a plausible stage interpretation that would be worthy of intelligent acceptance- yet Miss Fleming's dramatization, which Mr. Frohman is to offer here, appears to have overcome the barriers with which Mrs. Ward presumably fortified her compost tion against the stage Interpretation, If at all.

MAN STABBED AT
 THE EAGLE HOTEL
A. J. HoLLINGWoRTH WOUNDED BY HENRY CUEN-IS ALLEGED BAD LANGUAGE WAS USED IN PRESENCE OF LADIES.

A. c. Hollingsworth was stabbed by Henry Cuen at the Eagle hatel last night It appears that the stabbing affray arose out of a quarrel between Cuen and w. J. Harding, conductor on the Alabama Great Southern. It is alleged that Hard ing. Hollingsworth and some ladies were eating supper when Cuen came into the dining room and used insulting language to Harding, who got up from the table and resented 1t. A fight in the hall en- sued which Holingsworth, the wounded man. tried to prevent. Harding was chastising Cuen when Hollingsworth en- deavored to separate the combatants and in doing so received the knife that was intended for Harding
 The affair caused considerable excite ment as 1t was thought that the young man was mortaly wounded. An ambu- lance was called and Hollingsworth was conveyed to Copeland & Berry's private hospital, when upon examination 1t was discovered that the wound was not of a very serious nature.
 Cuen made his escape and was not ap- prehended Holingsworth is the son of a prominent Texas educator, his father be- ing the president of Texas State Univer- sity.

POLICEMAN HAS AN
 APOPLETIC STROKE
L. B. Brizendinc Taken III Whice on Beat Duty-Restlng We'll
 Last Night.

Policeman Frank L. Brizendine suffered stroke of apoplexy yesterday afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock while on his beat on First avenue, between Fourteenth and Eighteenth street.
 When Policeman Brizendine went to work yesterday at noon he stated that he was not feeling very well, and short ly after reaching his beat he was sudden ly taken Ill and started towards Brooks Forbes drug store on First avenue, be- tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. He had barely reached the store and se- cured a chair when he fell to the floor unconscious.
 The policeman was taken to his resi- dence, on the corner of Thirteenth street and Eleventh avenue, north, in Lige Loy's ambulance and physicians were summoned. Dr. Whaley and others who went to the house had little hope for Mir. Brizendine's recovery. but it was learn ed at a late hour last night that the physicians efforts had been of some avail and that the patient was doing well.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Birmingham breathed again the spirit of Shakespeare at the Jefferson last night and it was refreshing compared to that legion of Humpty Dumpty shows that have become so popular in the land The English bard may not be a money maker but so long as there are plays and players his genius will continue undimmed by later craftsmen.
 The production of "As You Like It. last night with Elizabeth Kennedy as Rosalind was entirely pleasing, although one could not but think moment of the day when winsome Viola Allen trip ped through the forest of Arden. Miss Kennedy's interpretation of the part was all that scould have been wished, how ever, and MT. John Webster made handsome Orlando. The play was well staged, so far as scenery was concerned, the forest being more realistic than ex- pected, but new costumes for male mem- bers of the company would not have been amiss.
 As Touchstone the fool, Cyril Young was quite success. His facial express slons were good and the manner in which he delivered his lines caused general amusement. His love passages with Au- drey were laughable as of yore, while Miss May Anderson was indeed a simple shepherdess. All the other members of the cast filled their places acceptaby, Mark Elsworths interpretation of Adam, the faithful old servitor, being especially good Mark Prince, as Jacques, delivered his immortal lines beginning "All the worlds a stage" very effectively, but he did not impress one as being faithful reproduction of the cynic.
 Unless properly handled a play the length of 'As You Like It. Is apt to drag, but no opportunity for fatigue was given last night. Miss Kennedy infused enough dash and vivacity in her characterization of Rosalind to hold the attention and Miss Fanchon Campbell supported her well as Celia. Intermissions were also brief, so that the play was ended at about the usual hour. A Shakesperian audience was present.
