At the Jefferson.

The largest house of the season greeted the presentation of "The Silver Slipper at the Jefferson last night, and it would be difficult to find anyone who went away disappointed The music is light and frothy, carrying with 1t a constant bub- ble which gives the nearer no opportunity for serious thought. The authors of "Florodora" to a large extent continued their ideas in "The Silver Slipper" and that familiar harmony and catchy air which made the first opera success can be detected in the latter
 The introduction of the sextette song proved so successful in ''Florodora" that the composers did not lose the opportunity to improve "rhe Silver Slipper on the same lines. Come Little Girl' is de- lightfully rendered and is fully up to the standard set by "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden" The most artistic feature of "The Silver Slipper is the champagne dance pre- scented by a double quintette. The women are excellent and the rendition of this dance was not only graceful but perfect In every detail. The song hits of the opera were 1.-TWO Eyes of Blue" "You and Me-" ''The Baby With the Dlmpe and the Smile" She's Not the Girl You Love-" and "There's a Girl Wanted There"
 Snitz Edwards as Henny Bismark Henschs. snowman and card sharp. was distinct hit. He was a relief from the old line comedians who depend entirely on horseplay. MT Edwards was excellent, but for some reason did not sing. Harry Burcher has a good baritone voice, and with little acting to do fills his part well. Horace Wright. the tenor, also has a good voice. Lora I.ieb as Stella, the girl from Venus, has superb soprano voice and beautiful face. With these accom- plishments the crowd was disappointed that she made such little use of her tal- ents. Miss Lieb sang but twice. Ger trude Milington as "Wrenne' made many friends and her rendition of the Baby With the Dlmple and the Smile" was frequently encored

DAN PATCH STILL HERE.
May Go to Memphis or Macon to Wind
 Up Season.

Myron McHenry. driver and manager of Dan Patch, 1 :56A, has not yet decided what he will do with the horse for the next two weeks. The pacer will either be taken to Memphis or to Macon. Ga. where an effort will be made to break the worlds high wheel sulky record and also the worlds two-mlle record.
 telegram has been sent to the firm which makes all the vehicles to which Dan Patch Is driven, asking if it can turn out high-wheel sulky In a week or ten days, and if this Is possible the horse will be sent against the record; otherwise he will be shipped direct to Minneapolis. where he will winter.
 Jack Flynn and Lew Banty, who are managers of Dan Patch with Mr. Me- Henry. are still in the city awaiting the decision which will probably be made today. Neither of the records to be gone after are important. and really amount to nothing. but MT. McHenry wishes to get them so as to show a clean sheet for the entire seasons work

At the Bijou.

One of the most popular musical com edy successes of the season and of last season. too is the merry and tuneful Selden story, Peck and His Mother in Law Abroad" the attraction that will commence an engagement of week at the Bijou Monday night and thereafter the usual scheduled performances will be given including popular matinee per- formances.
 Thirty people are members of the or ganzation and 1t is a selected cast There is much in the play that requires talent. for most of the principal parts require unusual ability in the line of character impersonation.
 The idea of the play Is that Henry Peck with his bride and mother-in-law start on a honeymoon. While abroad Peck hears things that he does not like, and being of an over-sensitive disposition, puts things togther wrong, with the result that he imagines that there Is a plot to get rid of him, for the sake of an over ripe bank account that he has, and this bad guessing causes all the fun.
 It Is said that the chorus of some twen- ty show girls is one of the real features of the production.

call meeting of the Alabama Con- mercial and Industrial association will be held next Monday in the Commercial Club room in the First National Bank building for the purpose of deciding about raising subscription for a state ex- hibit at the St. Louis exposition.
 The meeting has been called for that purpose, and the question will be finally settled at this meeting. For more than a year it has been in the balance. First 1t looked as if the state would make an appropriation and there would be an ex- hibit, and then 1t would be positively stated there would be none.
 The object of this meeting Is to see if It would be advisable to solicit a sub scription from the state at large for this purpose, and If this is decided on some one will probably be appointed as general manager.

Appendicitis.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Appendicitis is no new disease. An ex-
animation of an Egyptian mummy over
1000 years old showed that death must
have been caused by that Illness. But al
though the disease occurred thus early, it
was probably never frequent until the
latest decades. Three Of the London hos
pital corps reports give the number of ap-
penGicitis cases treated in 1890 as 49, while
In 1900 nearly 400 operations were per-
formed. 1t is comforting to note that all
but ten of the patients recovered. Sir
Frederick Treves. the most noted authority
on the subject. has performed successfully
more than 100 consecutive operations. 1t is
said that appendicitis may be caused by
imagination. but modern foods are proba-
bly, responsible for most cases. according to
