 i.anderdale Street. but the burglars left their booty in an adjoining building and 1t was recovered. Bursiars also entered the store of William Ullman and Sons on hroad Street, but 1t is believed that they took nothing away.
 There is no clue to the identity of the burglars. Alex Carr. a negro waterman, saw In the stairway of the building in which the goods stolen from Eliasberg Brothers were found. a white boy who acted suspiciously but he is unable to give description of him. It Is suspected that more than one ere implicated in the burglaries.
 Carr discovered the burglary of the Eliasbere store between 1 and 2 o'clock. While going his rounds he discovered that the entrance to the Dallas Dragoonss armory on Alabama Street was open. Seated on the stairway was young white man who. in answer to questions by the atchman. said that he had just come from Montgomery and was sleeping there Carr left him there and went for his lan- tern and for assistance. When the watch man returned and searched the building he could not find the sleepy young man. But In the Dragoons's armory three sto- ries above the ground Carr found an open window and dry goods worth s2o, or 800 Further investigation showed that the goods had been taken from the adjoining building occupied by Eliasberg Brothe~s
 The skyiight of the Eliasbers building was open and the stolen property was transferred from the roof of the building to the armory of the Dallas Dragoons The burglars either effected an entrance through the sky-light or concealed them selves in the store before it was closed.
 The store of Ullman and Sons was en- tered through window of the third story. It fig thought nothing was taken from the building.

CLEMSON-C CUMBERLAND
MANAGER LEWIS OF LATTER
 TALKS OF CONTEST.
The Football Battle in Montgomery On Thanksgiving Day May Take Place at New Ath-
 letic Park.

L. !. Lewis. manager of the football team p9 Cumberland University of Lebanon, Tenn, was in Montgomery yesterday making arrange nents for the Cumberland-Clemson champion ship game to be played here Thanksgiving Day. Manager Lewis is well known in Montgomery. Last Summer he assisted Rev Walter M. Crawford as pastor of the Cumberland Pres bytertan Church of Montgomery and during his stay here made a number of friends.
 He Is enthusiastic over the prospects for a royal fight here Thanksgiving. In speaking of the game Mir. Lewis said:
 Besides the Vanderbilt-Sewanee game fin Nashville, the Cumberland Clemson game is the only contest on that day that will really be for the Southern championship. Cumber- land has already defeated Vanderbilt and al- though we were beaten by Sewanee by the close score of to o the game was by no means satisfactory and even the Sewanee men admitted that a severe attack of bad luck was all that prevented our winning decisively. if Vanderbilt can beat Sewanee and can beat Clemson, why our olaim to the South ern championship is indisputable. while if Clemson can beat us, their claim will be iron clad.
 ''since the sewanee game comparative scores have been decidedly better than the Tigers. We beat the Tennessee Dental and Med icaI College S6 to o, while Sewanee could not pile up more than 52 scores. We broke the Southern record for scores against Grant Uni versity. when we managed to run up s6 points on Grant. Sewanee could do nothing more with Alabama than 23 to 0. while today s game of A to shows us to be at least their peers.
 'In meeting Clemson, however. we recog- uize that we meet the strongest team fin the South with the possible exception of Cumber- land. We recognize Coach Heismans ability for making a fast, tricky and plucky team and with the material he has at Clemson against an ordinry Southern team, it's an easy winner.
 s'But Cumberland has no ordinary team Weighing an average of nearly 90 pounds from tackle to tackle, our line under the able coaching of Mir Phillips of Washington and Jefferson is almost impregnable. If Clemson gains it will be ends and they are as fast as lightning.
 We have an offensive team. too, as all our scores show and although it's an even break I confidently expect to the Maroon of Cumberland wave victorious Thanksgiving Day.
 Yesterday afternoon in company with Maj. E. B. Winters of the Montgomery Traction Company Mir. Lewis visited the grounds at Athletic Park and greatly attracted by them. It is not decided whether the big game

"GooD GROWING WEATHER"
When the New Scalp Antiseptic
 is Used.

A good head of hair is as much "crown of glory" for man as 1t is for woman, notwithstanding all the poetry on the subject applied to the female sex exclusively. In the season when flies bite. the bald-headed man can sympa- thize with the Egyptians who were so sorely plagued on account of the children of Israel. Why not try Newbro's Herpi- eide? Others have been benefited and are loud in its praise. It cleanses the scalp. kills the germ at the root of the hair and by keeping the scalp sweet, pure and wholesome, the hair is bound to grow as nature intended, regardless of tthe tenn perature.

AT McDoNALD's THEATRE.
"The Two Johns" at Matinee and al
 Night.

'@The Two Johns'' played at a matinee and night performance to two large and appre- ciative audiences at McDonald's Theatre yes- terday.
 The play is farce comedy founded upon the old but ever new basis of mistaken iden- uty. It will be remembered as Q road attrac- ton of ten years ago with the same principals at the head of the cast, tho two fat men. The merit of "The Two Johns'' lies in the start ling resemblance between Edward Begley and Bert Cannon. This close physical likenesa car ries more conviction into ''The Two Johns'' than fin most farce comedy productions with a mistaken identity plot. The fat men play the parts of Peter Johns and Phillip Johns, two cousins who are much alike that the au- dience is never really certain which is on the stage.
 Begley and Cannon both did good work. but Begley appeared to be the more finished come dian. He scored a hit with a speciality and the audience insisted on several recalls.
 Harry Cooper in double role. did quite well. The remainder of the company was hardly up to the standard. The women of the company hardly compared with the two portly stars.
 Miss Edna Burnett. however, caught the fa- vor of the audience with several coon songs. She was roundly appauded.
 Both audiences appeared to enjoy the per- formance.
