MISS SHAY AS CARMEN
ENJOYABLE PRODUCTION or
 OPERA AT THEATRE.
She Has Excellent voice and ia |. Good Actress-Company Did .. Not Reach Montqomerv
 Vntli Late,

Nose Cecilia Shay sang before q Mont. %Sunery SSy audience for the first time at tbe Montgomery Theatre Yesterday aven;ns 1uu tne verdict of the audience ,,1,cs, vas renned and critical, was that M,ss Snay has a superior voice and marked h,s.
 onic r taient for grand opera singer. ast season Miss Shay's Company sang .~o operas here but she was i'll and did Ns appear, ner place being filled. by agreeable impression. Aiss Shay'S company appears to hava III luck in Montgomery. Although the prima donna and the baggage of the conn pany reached here yesterday morning the supporting singers failed to arrive iron, Amertcus, Ga. until after 8 o'clock la st night and the audience was kept waiting until o'clock when the curtain was rung up on Carmen" the opera selected for the Montgomery engagement
 The audience was fully compensated for The wait. Bizet's tuneful music was nev- or sung here In better style. The delay. however, appeared to have dampened the ardor of the audience and the singers as there was not that snap and vim about The production which characterizes the truly enjoyable entertainment. That sub- tie something called atmosphere was there but that other subtle something called sympathy between audience and players was lacking.
 True Miss Shay and others of the sing CTS were frequently applauded. and Miss Shay was given q curtain call after the third act. but Carmen" is a long opera and when 1t wore along into the midnight hours many persons who had enjoyed the opera left the theatre.
 The opera was cast as follows:
 Carmen, Rose Cecilia Shey.
 Micaela. Daise Thorne.
 Frasquita. Mabel McClaire.
 Mercedes, Mebel Klar.
 Don Jose. Joseph Fredericks.
 Escamillo. Francis Carrier
 Zunega, Thomas Guise.
 Morales, F. Condit
 Don Cairo. Alex Lion.
 Remendado, Mat Goodman.
 Miss Shea made an ideal Carmencita It is rare that an audience sees a woman who combines such a splendid voice with the ability to act a part so understand ingly. She gave life to the faithless gypy.
 Miss Daise Thorn. a slender young wo- man hitherto unknown in this section made deep impression as Micaela. She has a voice of surpassing sweetness.
 The Don Jose of Mir. Fredericks was good and Mir. Carrier proved a revelation as Escamillo. His rich baritone In tbe Toreador song brought forth applause that almost reached an ovation. The song was never sung better in MontRonn- cry.
 The chorus appeared III at ease in tbe first act, but in this Toreador song if reached the heights of perfection bring

 PROMISES A NEW HOTEL

Development. reported without recommen- datiou a letter from Charles P. Lane of Huntsvfife, president of the Commercial and Industrial Associations of Alabama. advocating the raising of funds by popu- lar subscription for an Alabama exhibit at the st. Louis Exposition.
 The iettsr of MT. Lane depiored the action of the Legislature in refusing to make an appropriation for the exhibit, but so highly did he place the importance of an exhibit that he thought public minded men in, Alabama should 10 the limit and by their own personal efforts raise enough money to make a credita- ble showing for Alabama.
 After . general discussion induiged in by B. P. Crurn. F. P. Glass, M. B. Hough- ton and l.. l.. Gilbert, it was decided to write President Lane that although the association is ready and willing to act with other organizations in Alabama, the outlook for any success in Montgomery. due to the known indifference of Cover nor Jelks toward the exhibit, is not fa- vorable.
 AS to New Quarters, George A. Thomas of the sub commit- tee of the Board of Directors of the as. sociation, appointed to secure q new lo- cation of the headquarters of the organ- tzation. reported that the old home of the Standard Club on Bibb street had been rented by the committee. He called the attention of the members to the iu- provement of the new headquarters over the old. by reason of more and larrer rooms. wherein parties visiting Monteom- cry could be invited to the association headquarters without interfering with the general routine of the association and | be entertained in much more accepta- ble manner. He reported that the rooms | q PA hnfvrsv thnv be in readiness for the association with in a months time.

IS YOUR STOrIAcH ON A
 STRIKE?
There is Nothing to Prevent You Employing a Substitute to Do
 Its Work.

4ACAC ID 4NObAAAG " S SSA
 Employing a Substitute to Do
 Its Work.
 There is such a thing as forbearance ceasIng to be a virtue even in the case of ones stomach. There Is no question hut that some stomachs will stand great deal more wear and tear and abuse than others, but they all have their limit and when that limit Is reached the stomach must be reckoned with AS sure as fate. The best way and really the only effec- tive way to treat your stomach when it rebels is to employ a substitute to do its work This will give the weakened and worn-out organ an opportunity to rest and regain it's strength and health.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve the stomach of its work by taking up the work and doing 1t just as one set or shift of workmen relieves another. They ac- tually digest the food in just the same manner and just the same time as the digestive fluids of a sound stomach do. In fact when dissolved in the stomach. they are digestive fluids for they contain ex- actly the same constituents and elements as the gastric juice and other digestive fluids of the stomach. No matter what the condition of the stomach Is, their work Is just the same. They work in their own natural way without regard to surrounding conditions.
 The stomach being thus relieved by Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets. is restored and renewed by Nature and the rest of the human body does not suffer in the least by. reason of It's failure to perform its work.
 4 Winconsin man says: 'I suffered the pangs of dyspepsia for 10 years. tried every known remedy with indifferent re- suits until I was told of the remarkab ble cures of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I bought a box, began taking them and forgot I had a stomach. Three boxes cured me completely. I have had no trouble whatever for year and have an appetite like a harvest hand and can eat anything that Is set before me without fear of bad results"
 Starts Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale by Jll druggists at Soc box. The drug gist never fails to have them in stock be- cause the demand for them is so great and so pronounced that he cannot afford Co be without them. People who could not get them of one druggist would gn to another and would get in the habit of Buying their other drugs there as well as heir stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

STEAMERS IN THE ICE.
Vessels on the Yukon Hsving Hard
 Time


 Seattle. Wash. Oct. 2o.-A special to The Post-Inteligencer from Dawson says:
 Sixty river steamers are battling against the floating Ice in the Yukon in serious danger of being caught in such positions that they win be crushed next spring Unless the river clears itself of ice for a few days none of these boats will be able to reach their destina- tions.
 The condition is unprecedented so early in the year. Three of the steamers. owned by the White Pass and Yukon line. are on their way up the Yukon from Dawson with l5o pas sengers. They may not be able to proceed . third or half of the distance. They have al- ready been two days making fifty miles against the running Ice. If these boats fail to get through their passengers will have to walk hundreds of miles. Many are not warmly clad and extreme suffering would result from such exposure.
 The malls and several hundreds of thousands in gold shipments aboard these steamers. Five White Pass and two independent steamers are scattered along the river between White Horse and Dawson bound this way. They are carrying 200 tons of cargo each. The number of passengers is not known here. ~ Several other steamers are fighting with the ice, at various points along the river

yERDICTs IN HOMICIDE CASES.

From the plan OF defence mapped

dict of aCQuittal. 1t is going TO be con-
SIadictiOn of evidence and the defen-
dant will be given the beneft Of the

Record.
We know 1t is no customary for the
r<ess to argue the question as TO what
juries will do in cases of this sort. but
we cannot let the prediction of The
Record pass without a word upon il.
We do not agree with that paper when
it expresses such certain conviction
that Mr.. Haywood will be acquitted
OF course he will be given the benefit
of every doubt which exists as 10 his
guilt, as he should be; but unless there
Is the testimony of credible witnesses
I'm the possession of the defendants 1t
torneys of which the public yet knows
nothing and which is a great deal
stronger than any that has yet been
published in the newspapers. We do
not see how any jury could acquit
Haywood and declare MIN justified or
e~xcusabie in the killing of Skinner in
the in which he did.
We will make q prediction Elso.
There is going to be = reaction N his

In homicides. The pendulum has
swung far 10 the side of acquittals and

The people o. the state have become
appalled, at the amount of crime com,
mitted in the last few years and the
small puUishrnents melted out to thu

murders be stopped and this demand
is made upon the courts and the juries
Public sentiment will force juries 1
