Nation of Hawaii, thus ruthlessly des-

band of adventurera.
The after history came quickly, the

without any voice or will of the people
but by act of The protected political

The silent but gratified captain left the
room with straighter shoulders than had
marked his previous exit His chief looked
up at the dark gallery and said:

the table In silence, save for the busy

seemingly years older than when he had

Man Ate the Diluvial World.

Where is this diluvial world today? Man
has eaten it.
This example of the vertebrates prac-
tically exhausts almost the whole problem
that arises between man and all other
many-celled organisms. As forces on earth
besides the vertebrates only the Insects
demand consideration.
Man needs little from them, but they
harm him much. So he is in open. steady
war of destruction with them everywhere
Its end is not doubtful.
And so on. There remains of organisms

But man has not had to fight with the

Women Gamblers.
From the New York Tribune

From the New York Iribrne.
People who have made the matter a study
contend that when the get-rich-auick mi
crobe attacks women ii is not easily exter-
minated or made harmless. The phantom
pictures which rise and fall with the click
of the ticker fascinate them. and they play
the game of chance with the recklessness
of veteran gamblers. Hundreds of women
give their orders clandestinely. and the fact
that they have an interest in the stock mar
ket, that their daily examination of the
market report Is prompted by anything be-
yond a desire to be informed. IL not known
to any one save their brokers. These are
good customers for brokers. A sigh over
a statement showing a balance on the
wrong side, vow never to do so any
more an order given Just to get even"
is the usual sequence.
There is another class OF women stock
gamblers in which the bad loser Is largely
represented. This class supports bucket
shops in the residence parts of the city,
like the one which was raided a few days
ago. When these women win they are
happy. but when fortune frowns on them
they are 'horrid.' They want their money
back from the bucket shop proprietors.
They cry, scold and finally threaten to tell
on the mean things who took their mar
gins. In order to shield themselves the
threat is not often carried into execution.
and the bucket shop continues to do bust
ness at the old stand. taking money from
the women who Succumb to the tempta-
lions of the tape. 1t is refreshing TO know
that once in a while a woman gets so thor
oughly angry because of her losses that she
does her share toward breaking UP the
bucket shop business. She would never do
such thing If her speculations were sue
cessful-hence all good citizens should re-
joice when she loses.

The Society Column Of the Future.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
1t is rumored that Miss Myrtle Roxleigh
and Mr. Wadsworth McMoneys are to be
married this month Miss Roxleigh, it will
be remembered. had her maiden name re-
stored last April, when she was divorced
from Mr.. Richman Banks. Before her mar
riage to Mr.. Banks she was Mrs. Willie
Trimble, having separated from Mr.. Trim
BILE in order to permit him and Miss Gladys
Longhreen to marry. Society still remem-
bers with pleasure the delightful house
parties Miss Roxleigh gave before her di-
vorce from her first husband. Mr.. Buff1ng-
ton Spuds. and it is hoped that after her
coming marriage the lady will return to
her former style of entertaining. Mr.. Nc
Moneys has-never been married very much,
having been divorced but twice. His first
wife is now the popular Mrs. Craigford
Stillington. The lady who succeeded her
Mrs McMoneys is. we believe, engaged to
Mr.. Lottson Gobbs, the latter having fig
ured as the correspondent in her divorce
case, which was decided last week.
A charming wedding breakfast was given
Thursday for Miss Daisy Scadds, who Is
now Mrs. Eastern Moses. The function
took place at the country home of her sis
ter Mrs Fleecem Lambs who was d.
vorced from Mr.. Grabbitt Allston just be-
fore her marriage to Mr.. Lambs last spring.
breakfast that Mrs. D. Skiff1ngton Styles.
who is sister of Mrs. Lambs and Miss
Scadds, intends to apply for divorce.
The grounds of complaint were not men
toned
Among the prominent society people who
have secured divorces during the past week
are: Mrs. Mostyn Bonds, Mr.. Stivers
Plunkett, Mrs. Moran Moore, Mrs. Worth
al OFT, Mr. Skivington Rivvitts and Mrs.
D. Worstley Goodsell. Mr.. GoodseI and
Mrs Plunkett will be married early next
week, and it Is rumored in exclusive social
circles that Mr.. Rivvitts and Mrs. Bonds
will meet in Europe some time during the
summer and be married there.
The fashionable people are rapidly leav
ing town for the summer. Comparatively
few of them would have their city homes
still open If they were not compelled to
main for the purpose of looking after their
divorce cases. Much complaint against the
slow going methods of some of the judges
is heard In a certain court last week only
twenty-seven cases were heard in spite
of the fact that the judge knew the anxiety
of many of the petitioners to get away.

HOME SEEKERS IN
 SUNNY SOUTHLAND
SIX TRAlNLoADS OF HAPPY MEN AND WOMEN PASS THROUGH BIRMINGHAM IN SEARCH OF NEW HoMESTEADs.

The Louisville and Nashville trains, Nos. 1 and 3, southbound, each came in three sections yesterday, bringing about 1000 homeseekers to the sunny south. Each train consisted of five passenger coaches, which were filled to overflowing. By a canvass made on the trains 1t was found that the great majority of these people were for points between this city and Mobile.
 It is impossible to estimate how many remained in Birmingham, but by the bag gage which was unloaded here, this city got a fair share. A prominent railroad official who was at the station when one of the sections came in. said that it was very noticeable that the class of home seekers passing through were men who could eat and work, and that such were the bone and sinew of southern prosper ity.
 The crowd of yesterday was but the be- ginning of the usual fall and winter home- seekers excursions. and judging by the patronage this one received, Alabama will be favored with more settlers this year than in any. period of it's history.

At the Bilou.
At the Jefferson.

When the final scream of Mrs. Alvin rang out in the Jefferson last night ana the mad rawlings of her son died away the audience rose with a feeling of gloom hard to dispel. It was a htting testlmohiai to the perfect acting of Miss Gallatin ana Claus Bogel. The story was told ana the play ended but It will finger long in the memory of all who were present. For three acts the audience followed with in- tense interest portrayal of the most powerful of human emotions. Women who were crying as well as men who with thoughtful looks agreed that lbsen had appropriately named his great play Ghosts" There were no handsome stage trappings, no dazzling costumes, no sparkle of mirth or jollity. There was only a. play and it's actors. Nothing more was needed. Only five persons appeared but the individuality of each was lost In the characters assumed. Every step to the final climax was enacted amid im- pressive silence while people forgot to applaud until it was all over.
 As Mrs. Alvin, Miss Alb@ta Gallatln was superb and her support was excel lent. Mir Boge who played the part of Oswald, her son, and Allan Davenport as Parson Manders, deserve special praise while Miss Curry as Regina Engstrard and John Ravold as Jacob Engstrand were equally good. Ghosts" is what we popularly call a problem play. As such it takes high rank with similar great pro auctions of the past It has been criticised as immoral, but it Is hard to see how such an impression could prevail after the sad tale is ended. The genius of its author as well as the talent of Miss Gallatln and company hold an audience spell bound. Ghosts is indeed well worth seeing. It is one of the strongest plays that has been seen in Birmingham in long time. The audience was rather small last night Miss Gallatin deserves bet
 ter reception. She will give matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight.

PROSPEROUS NEGROES ARRESTED
Women and Men Charged With Gre
 ating Much Noise.

Policemen Baker and Byars made a wholesale arrest of negroes yesterday afternoon. The arrest was made on the complaint of Mrs. A. M. Foster on Eigh- teenth street between Fourth and Fifth avenues. It appears that for some time past Mrs. Foster has been annoyed by a continuous racket from a house in Fourth alley at the back of her residence. piano has been going all day long and the best part of the night with singing and shouting and boisterous noise in gem eral.
 It got to be so unbearabe that the com plaint was lodged with the police. The result was that four women, Jane Jami- son, Lula Hall, Mabel Johnson and Emma Pointer, together with three men Phil Painter, w. Lomax and Will Harper were arrested. They all gave bond with one exception.

 Burned-Covered By Insurance.

The residence of J. P. White, Jr., at North Haven was totally destroyed by fire last night The fire originated in the kitchen, where an oil stove wars burning, and it is presumed that the stove was the cause of the fire.
 The house was beyond the control of the fire department when it arrived on the scene, and was the property of H. J. Jones. The loss is estimated at $15OO, and is covered by insurance. MT White Is an employe of the Moore & Handley Hard ware company
