NOTES OF THE STAGE.

Yesterday afternoon William A. Brady held his
contest for "supers" to determine which Of the
numerous band of men that nightly rush into the
theatre In the last act Of Pretty Peggy and ere
ate a sham disturbance most worthy of a
twenty dollar bill and salaried position next sea-
son. It was announced that the 'suDers'' would
read from Shakespeare, with Ben Teal, Aubrey
Boucicault and Sam Shubert judges. But Ben
Teal and Aubrey Boucicaut forgot to come around,
and Sam Shubert refused to hear Shakespeare NAL
treated all alone so Mr.. Brady organized a differ
ent sort Of contest
Taking OF his coat. and rolling up his sleeves
and tipping his hat back his head. he dragged
out the Irish gocart used in the first act, and
called the ninety supers TO the stage. Then, one
by one he made them seize the shafts and exclai:
Boys Peggy shall be hauled home BY US! Divll
another creature shall do itr' Those who didn't
crv this line 10 suit him. he showed to the left with
the goats Those who did went with the sheep TO
the right. When all had had their try. there were
found to be eight sheep
These eight were put through the same process
again and five Of them were found wanting Inen
the remaining three were made rush to the front
Of the stage and cry, Down with the actress VINO

the second man had cried his line, ana before the

THIS GOVERNMENTS ATTITUDE.
This attitude was expressed IN the two follow

letter addressed by the Secretary of state to
versation with the Secretary Of State reported
by the British Ambassador:

MEMORANDUM.
The President IN his Message OF December s.
1901. used the following language:
The Monroe Doctrine is a declaration that there
must be territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT by any non
power on American soil It is in no wise intended
as hostile TO any nation In the Old World.

ROYALTIES EARLY RIsERs.

Household Words.

Household Words.
While the great mass Of his subjects are
still comfortably asleep in bed King Ed
ward has risen and Is seated at his desk
deep In the consideration of state docu-
ments. for, though His Majesty does not
lie down with the lamb he gets up with
the milkman.
1t is always after midnight before the
K1ng~is in 'bed, but by Z o'clock he Is
astir Very often he rises couple of
hours earlier. In order to keep abreast
which presses on him. At Windsor he
usually attends the early service at st.
Georges. and has accomplished the days
work of an ordinary man before most of
his subjects have finished breakfast.
This spectacle of the King UP and doing
. at a. M, while so many Of his subjects
stroll leisurely into their ofiices five hours
later. is notable and suggestive. Amer
leans assign as one reason for their mar
vellous progress that Now Workers. are at
business at $50 or 9 a. M, while London
ers are full hour later.
There are no harder workers than mod
ern monarchs, and they, at all events, APP
preciate the value of the morning hours.
The German Emperor breakfasts pune
tually every morning at o'clock. Very
often he has been up for hours. Not very
long ago the colonel of the list Dragons
turned up twenty-five minutes late at the
a. m. parade. To his horror he found
Without q word the Emperor motioned
tho officer to his post and watched the
drill in silence. but on that evening the
colonel received from his imperial mas
ter neat little alarm clock.
Soon after a. m. the Emperor 10 at
the Foreign Office in consultation with
Count Won Bulow. His ally the King OF
Italy Is likewise an early riser, and re-
quires his officers and servants to be the
same. Soon after his accession he made
a round of morning visits to the govern
ment offices. At each he arrived at the
stated time of opening and smoked ci-
garettes while awaiting events. When the
early bird of the clerks arrived-an hour
late--he found not the worm, but the
King awaiting him. Very plainly were
the heads of departments informed that
the King required strict punctuality and
attendance to business. One result of
this action of Victor Emmanuel's is that
the Italian civil service estimates have
been considerably reduced by dismissing
clerks whom regular hours rendered su-
perfiuous. The Gear of Russia is another
of the o'clock breakfast brigade, while
the Emperor Francis Joseph is astir even
earlier. 1t must be a very early riser
who would get the better OF the Mikado.
The ruler of Britains new ally holds his
councils of state at a. m.

The Hayneville Road.

After being in a comatose state for so
long a time that the public had almost
lost sight of 1t the Montgomery. Hayne-
VILE and Camden Railroad came up smil-
ing again yesterday. A stockholders
meeting was held in Montgomery at
which the following officers and directors
were elected: Major Il. Durham. Presi-
dent: Colonel 8. d. Bloch. Vice-President:
Judge ]. T. Beck. Secretary: e. C. An
drew, Treasurer; Directors. r. Durham
&, d. Bloch, w. T. Brigftman. w. d.
Westcott, Sam Sabel and w. T. Riley.
1t viii he remembered that some time
ago Major Durham with Colonel Bloch
went to New York. 1t was thought at
the time that the visit was of financial
significance, bearing on the bonds of the
road, but at the time 1t was given out
that Major Durham was on other bus
mess.
lust when work will begin on the con-
struction has not been given out.
AS the new year grows older, the
late train situation gets worse. Train No.
from Nashville was two hours and for
ty minutes late last night, while the
Western, due at $3.50 p. m, was ten hours
late, putting them here at 7:2O this morn
ing.
Master of Trains Mizell and Chief Train
Dispatcher Frank Young of the Nj. and
NJ. were at work yesterday on the new
time card which will go into effect next
Sunday. Only one train will be affected
by the new schedule, however-No. 7, the
fast mail, will leave at 3:35 a. m. instead
of Bps ten minutes later.
