scarecrows for Telegraph Poles.
213 Dexter Avenue.

So many cases of troublesome short eIrcuiting of electric wires have oc- cured recently by owls, crows, hawks, eagles. etc, lighting on the wires that the Electrical Review suggests the expe- dient of putting scarecrows on the tops of the poles. The electrical inventors have found ways to head of most of the technical troubles of electric distribu- ton, but these oranks of animals are more difficult to prevent. When a bird or cat makes bridge between two high ly charged wires 1t is instantly cremated by the current; but this is small satis- faction for the damage and scare at the central station that this sudden short circuit causes.

for an elective Railroad Commission with -amplifled powers.
 In the Birmingham party were Hon. Frank s. White. Charles S. Simmons. J. J. Whitfield. H. M. Beck. F. A. Alex ander, J. E. England, R. E. Collins and F. L. Bivins.
 The party reached the city yesterday morning at Il o'clock and immediately proceeded to the Capitol where they were interested spectators of the pro- ceedings of the Legislature.
 Upon the adjournment of the House the Birmingham citizens went upon the floor and met a number of the lawmakers. Later in the day they conferred with the Jefferson County delegation relative to legislation concerning the Alabama Railroad Commission. It has been an- nounced that the Jefferson delegation would stand both for the bill making the Alabama Railroad Commission elective and for enlarg1ng the powers of the Com mission. These bills, 1t was said. would be introduced in the near future and their passage would be assisted by prom inent business men of Birmingham.
 The Appearance of the delegation of business men here in the inter est of Judge Banks for Railroad Commissioner was the subject of consid- erable discussion, in view of the fact that three avowed candidates for membership on the Alabama Railroad Commission re- side in Birmingham. They are Judge J. J. Banks, Hon. Robert J. Lowe and Col. H. B. Gray. MT. Lowe ha sbeen in the city for the past week.
 An act to preserve human life'' is the short but startling title of bill intro- duced in the House yesterday by Rep resentative Mills of Geneva. Mir. Mills's bill is an attempt to lessen the danger from the ''unloaded gun" The bill Is as comparatively brief as its title.
 It makes 1t a misdemeanor for a per son to carry fire arm in the house or yard of another without the owners con- sent. The bill seeks to lessen the pro miscuous handling of firearms and it is claimed for 1t that 1t would greatly re- duce gun shot accidents in the rural dis tricts.
 An official Janitor of the Montgomery County court house Is provided for in q bill introduced in the House yesterday by Hn. O.. c. Maner of Montgomery. The janitor is to be appointed by the Sheriff of the county and Is to have charge of the court house.

The opening attraction at the Audi
lorium Aug, 20 is Denman Thompson
and Geo. w. Ryer's Our New Minis
ter" with all the old favorites in the
cast. One sits down to this play as he
would to a good dinner. The hearth
ness and wholesomeness of the char
acters, the New England setting, in
which simple country life is so eX-
cellently portrayed, together with the
theme of the play itself, the right
fighting against the evil. charity dis
placing bigotry-these are among the
things that give the performance its
human quality and cause it to appeal
to all. The character studies are de-
lightful creations, strong and convinc-
ing, and thoroughly in keeping with
their surroundings. The management
wisely retains it's galaxy of notable
actors of the old school, whose clear
diction and intelligent interpretations
are in gratifying contrast to the care
less and unappreciative acting so com
mon to the modern stage.
