THE JoNoUIL MAID.

A little maid sat in a jonquil tree,
Singing alone, In a low love tone;
And the wind swept by with a wistful
moan.
for he 1onged to stay
With the maid all day;
But he knew.
AS he blew,
1t was true
That the dew
Would never, never dry
If the wind should die;
So he hurried away where the rosebuds
grew,
And while to the land of the rose went
he.
Singing alone In a low love-tone,
The little maid sat in jonQufl tree.
The wind swept back to the jonquil tree
At the close Of day,
In the twilight gray;
But the sweet little maid had stolen
away;
And whittier she's flown
VIII never be known
TIL the rose
AS it blows,
Shall disclose
All it knows &c.
or the maid so fair -t..s
With the sunset hair.
And the sad wind comes, and signs, and
goes,
And dreams Of the day when he blew SO
free. ~
When, singing alone in low love-
tone,
A little maid sat in a 1onquil tree.

word Sincere which I had never been

that fact to Mr.. Turpie, who was sitting

" That is very easy to remember the

Murray and Mack.

Murray and Mack's engagement at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow matinee and night is one of the announcements of the season. Their position as Irish comedians is well established The way they have of saying things and the apparent ease with which they make their points places them on a high plane of Irish comedy act ing.
 The sets used in the latest edition of "A Night on Broadway" which Murray and Mack are offering the public this sea- son, Is said to be effective.
 The first act shows Broadway from Thirty-fourth street to Forty-second street. and is good picture of New York life.
 The second act Is a reproduction of Fleischman's florist shop which is one of the famous show spots of the metrop- oils.
 For the last act Is pictured the Clare mont cafe on the river drive. To the north, from the broad shady porches of delightful "Claremont' one has a view of the Hudson river, with its sweep of wa ter, dotted here and there with pleasure craft of all descriptions, framed in by the still more famous Palisades, while in the dim perspective rise the foothills of the CatslSill mountains.

Tomorrow evening promises to be a red letter event in the history of the Bijou It will naugurate the second season and the advance sale of seats indicate that the opening will eclipse that of last year. The Wells policy has proven as popular in Birmingham as in other cities where he has established family theaters "Bi- jou'' has become a by-word in Birming- ham, just as it has In these other cities.
 Society promises to be largely in evil denee at the opening. as one entire side of the loge seats have been reserved for one theater party of the younger set.
 The same liberal policy adopted last year will be pursued this season. Vaude- vile will not be as much in evidence this season as last. Bookings have been made by Manager Wells which he believes will better please the Birmingham clientele.
 For the opening attraction, a strong comedy drama, entitled. Wealth and Poverty" has been selected.
 The drama is by Lawrence Underwood, and is produced under the personal su- pervision of the author. The company calls for clear stage, and will not use any or the scenery or the lOcal house. lL is said that the stage pictures presented are very good.
 "Weath nd Poverty is somewhat on the order of Arizona and Alabama" The locale of the play is small town in Michigan, and the story is told In four acts.
 The first act presents the exterior of the house of Precious Plunket." a fine young American politician, adjoining the local railway station. The second act takes place in Plunket's dining-room, while the third shows the village jail in which takes place a novel and exciting scene. The fourth and last act takes place in Plunkett's parlor at o'clock in the morr. ing. 5=a

RussIa's Black Sea Fleet.

In an article on "Russia's Black Sea Fleet" in the September 18th issue of Harper's Weekly, Mir. Charles Johnston writes Interestingly on the subject of the naval tactics which Russia would pursue in the event with war with Turkey: 'What work are these ships of the Black Sea fleet intended to accomplish Evi- dentIy they were not called into existence to protect Russia against the navy of Turkey, for, practically speaking, Turkey has no navy These ships are evidently designed to make an overwhelming attack on land forts, and the only forts within their range of activity are the Turkish forts on the Bosporus, which guard the northern gateway to Constantinople. The construction of these forts was carried out under the supervision of German off cers, whose services were kindly lent to Abdul Hamid by his friend Kaiser Will helm IT., and they will probably be fought by German gunners or at least by gun ners trained in German methods. There, in a sentence, is the real barrier to so- 1ution of the Balkan problem the answer to. the oft-repeated question, Why does not Russia intervene? The heavily ar- mored and heavily armed battle-ships of the Russian Black Sea fleet are evi- dently designed to overcome this barrier when the time comes. Whether they will be able to overcome 1t. to pound the forts successively into silence. is something that can only be solved by actual trial'

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Robert Mantell has not for many years appeared in a part which was better suit ed to him that that of Maurice Desmond in "The Light of Other Days" which was played at the Jefferson last night.
 Although known for years as one of the best emotional actors who has appeared in this country, and a star in some of the leading English theatres in other days, the part he now plays Is probably the best since he appeared more than df- teen years ago in "Fedora" with Fanny Davenport
 The part of Maurice Desmond calls for much emotional acting. The man is either surrounded by the swords of in- surgents at the Chateau de la Croix, or he Is spending his time alone at the Her mitage, where he has been a recluse since his first love was drowned years before the scene of the play.
 The death of the woman he loves is told in the prologue, when she and he are bound together with ropes and thrown from the walls of the chateau into the ocean below. They are rescued, but the shock kills the woman. He lives to. mourn his loss and to be a father to her child sCerise He loves the daughter as he did the mother and finally, after hav- ing death staring him in the face. he wins her love and is rescued by the British soldiers just as the villain, Captain Le- Foque, thinks he has the lovers at his mercy and threatens to end their lives at noon.
 The dual part of Helene de la Croix in the prologue, and Cerise the daughter, is played by Miss Marie Booth Russell. As the mother, declaring her love mid scenes of war, she held the audience spellbound while as the light hearted Cerise, she captivated with her happiness and laughter.
 Again, as the young woman in trou- ble on the island with the people again in insurrection, she portrayed the emo- tionaI part well. The supporting com pany was strong, especially in having Gordon Burby as Captain Leroque.

sincerity, the sympathy and the intellect uality of her interpretation of the very difficult role of Mrs. Alving While Ghosts" has been alternately praised and criticised, the fact remains that it is one of the most powerful dramatic stories ever given to the stage. Its presentation here will be looked forward to with keen enjoyment by local theatre-goers.
 William A. Brady, under whose drec- -tion Wilton Lackaye is to star in "The Pitt and Charming Pollock, who adapted the play from Frank Norris novel an- nounce the receipt of the following self explanatory letter. 'I have just finished reading your drama of The Pit and both Mrs Frank Norris and myself (his mother) are immensely pleased with the character of Jadwin. It is faithful to the original in the book and faithful to the original man. The character was drawn from life. l think the closing scene or the first act where Corthell discovers the scattered rose leaves, very good. and the whole piece is as striking a dramatization as l have ever seen. Both Mrs. Frank Norris and myself wish for box the first night of The Pits presentation in Chi cago. Gertrude G. Norris"

other interests MT. Belasco will add to his list.
 It will be seen at glance that this step on the part of MT. Belasco, whose stars are doubtless the most prosperous, and whose plays and productions the most artistic on the American stage, is of the greatest significance. Owing to the serious clashing of interest among those who nave heretofore controlled the road destinies of outside managers, he has been forced to the conclusion that he must attend to his own affairs in his own way and with out allying himself to any faction has taken his present important step to guard against emergency.
 Mrs. Leslie Carter opened her season Monday night, September 2S at the Mon tauk theatre, Brooklyn, inauGurating her farewell year in David Belasco's "Du Barry" This fact, together with the an- nouncement that the Brooklyn engage ment was limited to seven performances, resulted in a very heavy advance sale, and a week of enormous business. Mrs. Carter herself returned to her duties In the prime of good health Hard work is second nature with her, so she resumed her triumphant and artistic portrayal Of the famous French favorite with as much pleasure as if she were appearing in the

In the hands of AL berta Gallatin and her associate it is one of the most sensational successes of the season. Its presentation here in the near future will be welcomed by local thea- tre goers.

MIDWAY IS ALIVE
WITH VARIOUS SHOWS

Passing up Cedar street from Ninth
to Eleventh, and down Eleventh to the
ball park, you are at the entrance OF
the great Midway. Inside the inclos-
ure the big camels, with scared women
astride them, walked along undisturbed
by the hornpipes, the circus bands or
the ticket spielers.
The "Tingle Tangle" was one of the
most popular places on the Midway.
Inside the large and comfortable tent
splendid continuous vaudeville show
was given, the Oriental dancers the
song and dance artists, the entertaining
Japanese troupe, the contortionists, the
Highlander dancers, and many other
attractions being in evidence. The
tent is filled with tables and chairs, re-
freshments are served. and once inside,
removed from the din of the carnival
proper, one is loath to leave.
On account of the heavy rain, which
transformed the ball ground into II
veritable mud hole, the Jabour show
encountered much difficulty and it was
after 10 o'clock when the entertain
ment was commenced. Trouble in Sc
curing lights aggravated the delay but
the audience was well repaid for the
long wait, although but one or two fea-
lures of the big show were given.
Potter's trained dogs, one oflthe fea-
lures OF the show. were made to per-
form, but it was impossible for the
aerial performers to do their turns, an,
on account of the lateness of the hour
1t was decided not to attempt to give
the complete show last night, and all
who had paid their way into the Mid
way were given rain" checks, good
on any night during the carnival.

GATES ARE OPENED
AND CROWD RUSHES IN

Shortly before 9 o'clock the carnival
gates were thrown open. Mayor Smith
was the first official visitor to pass be-
meath the massive archway. He was
followed by the other city officials and
the members of the carnival commit
tees. All rode in carriages.
Following the special guests came
the great crowd of spectators, which
was so large that for awhile it looked
as if it We're going to be a difficult
matter to manage 1t.
But the carnival association was
prepared for the great throng, and no
sooner had the parade passed the
grounds that dozen gatemen were
ready rapidly passing in the enthusi-
astic patrons. detail OF police, in
charge of Lieut.. H. ]. Meyerding, kept
the crowd moving. SO there was no
congestion at the gate. Within an hour
more than 5000 were admitted.
But the carnival streets were not
quite prepared for the fine reception
that the citizens of st. Paul gave the
street show on it's opening night. The
heavy, downpour of rain yesterday de-
layed the work of arranging the ex-
be, occupied today. were vacant last
night. A dozen or more firms had men
at work last evening preparing their
exhibits.
Without the full quota of displays,
the opening night was still an unquali-
fed success. The many visitors all
were royalty entertained. Beside the
numerous side shows, there were sew
eral amusing and funny displays on the
main streets. Probably the greatest
successes were the Kangaroo Court
and the Country store.
More than fifty of st. Paul's most
prominent citizens were arrested and
brought before the trial judge, where
