BEN HUR WILL BE
 IN BIRMINGHAM
GREATEST SPECTACULAR PLAY OF THE DAY WILL BE SEEN HERE FOR SIX SUCCESSIVE NlGHTs-A NEW EXPERIMENT..

The production of Ben Hur, which will be given at the Jefferson theatre for six nights during next month, will be one of the most elaborate performances ever placed on a southern stage.
 There is an immense cast and the scenes are so realistic that it is said they equal the descriptions in Wallace's great novel. This is the biggest spectacular play ever placed on the American stage and it's coming to the south Is an experi- ment which means much to this portion of the country.
 Special arrangements are going to be made to run trains to Birmingham dur ing the week the show Is here and large crowds are expected from neighboring cities
 It was in the nature of things that General Wallace's novel should be dram- atized. For many years the general re- jected the inducements which were held out to him. The late Lawrence Barrett made frequent overtures, but was unable to submit any form of dramatization which was satisfactory to the author The chief difficulty was the introduction of the personality of the Messiah Gem eral Wallace could not see how justice could be done to the story without the visible presence of the impersonatlon of the Savior. The chariot race also pre- sented almost insurmountable mechani- cal difficulties to his mind; so 1t was not until Klaw X Erlanger submitted their plans that the authors interest was aroused. The chariot race was purely a question of mechanics interwoven with the result of the work of the greatest scenic artist of the day.
 But Klaw & Erlanger had another end in view when they decided to produce Ben Hur" They determined to pre- sent the most splendid spectacle known to modern times, into which the eastern story of love and hate, the tremendous events of the greatest portion of the worlds history should find the most ade- quate expression.
 More than three hundred and fifty peo- pie are employed in the prncipal scenes of Ben Hur,' and this number does not include seventy-five stage carpenters and mechanics who set and strike the great scenes and work the mechanical appa- ratus used in the play.

At the Bijou.

Latimore and Leigh who work the box trio at the Bijou this week are exciting more comment than did Ten Ichi with his famous thumb tying trick. They have an act that is mystefying to the extreme
 One of them is tied, sewed up in a sack, placed in box which is roped and locked and in eighteen seconds afterwards he comes through the audience united and a free man. In another eighteen seconds his partner Is taken from the same box tied with the same rope and with the same marks. How a man can get out of the box and another get In Is the mystery.

SEVEN DEATHS AND
 TEN FRESH CASES
DISEASE DOES NOT YIELD TO DIS. INFECTION, BUT APPEARS TO STAY, NOTWITHSTANDING ALL SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

Mazatlan, Mex, January 13.-There has been seven deaths from the plague and ten fresh cases today
 A fund of $2o,OOO has been given by the state of Sinaloa to aid In relieving the wants of distressed poor of the city. The salaries of all officers of the state gov ernment have been reduced 20 per cent, the amount to be used in relief work here.
 A curious fact is that none of the Chi nese here have been attacked with the plague. The Chinese colony has been par ticularly generous in contributions to the relief fund. The Chinese regard the plague with complete indifference.
 One plague sufferer tried to get away in a boat but was overhauled and inn mediately died on reaching shore.
 Some curiosity Is expressed that the plague does not at once yield to the gen eral dsinfection but it appears to stay notwithstanding sanitary precautions.

 Both General Manager Evans of the Louisville and Nashville and Chairman Thompson of the grievance committee declined to discuss the matter further than to say that the relations between the road and it's employees are very cor dial, and that there was no possibility of any trouble.
 It was learned that when the demands were presented today and the men had stated their position, that General Man ager Evans offered a counter proposition granting half of the amount of the in crease asked. The committee then re- tired to the Fifth Avenue hotel and re- mained in secret session for the rest of the day. The members of the commit tee declined to say what action was taken at this conference, but 1t is reported that the compromise offered by MT. Evans was regarded with unanimous favor and that the committee decided to accept it.
