THE LATE MR. BROWN.
Members of Kilgour Stock Company
 Show Versatility.

The Joseph Kilgour Stock Company last night showed that its people are actors of wide versatility by changing from their acceptable performance of Frou Frou to the laugh-provoking "The Late Mir. Brown"
 No wider contrast could be drawn than comparing the, hysterical French drama to the strictly American side-spliting farce, but the Kilgour Company's pro- duction of The Late Mir. Brown was done with equally fine finish as their per- formance of the fearful "Frou Frou." The play is one of character parts and no member of the company lacks oppor- tunity to show their ability. Each character in the farce Is SC diversified from the other that every part is made for a star. The only fault that can be found with the production is that the name of the author of the remarkably clever comedy is omitted from the pro- gram.
 Mir. Joseph Kilgour was last night seen in a Doctor Jekyll and Mir. Hyde" role in creating the personality of John Phillip Macready Burbage, ten, twent and thirt tragedian, when on the night previous he had been seen as the frock-coated, dig nifieds husband of Frou Frou. It Is ex- pected to see regulation stock company people change their work nightly. but the finished acting of Mir. Kilgour Ia st night after the entire change of method of work
 The entire company showed equal versatility, but especially should be mem tioned the work of E. c. Joy in a char acter part.
 Tonight the bill will be repeated for the benefit of Montgomery Lodge of Elks Miss Leah Russell, who is a favorite in Montgomery will go on in her Hebrew speciality.

Birmingham, July 1s.-(Special.-J. L. Nail, agent for the Land Commissioner of the State University, Capt. A. B. Mo- Eachin, this morning gave out the fol- lowing statement: T am in the employ ment of Capt. A. B. McEachin, Land Commissioner of the University of Ala hama, to look after the University lands in Jefferson County, and. after careful in- vestigation on the grounds, report to him what depredations. if any, have been committed on each tract, and by whom committed, and what claimant, if any, is in possession of the land. have nothing to do with the investigation of titles, but act strictly under directions of Captain McEachin in each days work. Others are in the service of Captain McEachin, of whose work I know nothing. I take it that the policy of the Land Commission CT Is to secure accuracy in his informa- tion and then act fairly and promptly and thoroughly in protecting the property of the University. He is not given to talking much and I would not, if I could, undertake to talk for him.

Distilleries Paying Unpaid Taxes.

It Is announced that two of the largest whiskey distilleries in the State have paid to the Government nearly $20,OO0 of es- capped taxes and that this is the outcome of investigations that have been made by Collector J. O. Thompson. Mention of these investigations was made some weeks since. It is understood that the concerns paying this money are the distilleries at Montgomery and Mobile and that they are now again in operation after having sus- pended for several weeks pending the in- vestigation. When seen this morning Col lector Thompson would not verify nor deny the statement, but simply said that the collectors department had an effi- cient force of field deputies and that wherever any wrong doing was suspected they at once went to work on the cases with a view of correcting any evil that might exist. The Montgomery distillery is said to have paid between $10,000 and $15.0OU of this amount, the largest escaped tax bill eyer collected from an Alabama distillery. However. the settlement of the matter with the distillery owners does not effect the storekeeper and guagers. Six of these officials, it is understood, now stand suspended. At every distillery there Is a bonded warehouse and the store keepers and gaugers represent the collec- tor at such places. It is alleged that there is no chance for wrong doing unless there is some kind of an understanding between the distillers and storekeepers and guagers.
