Of M. Souvenir, editor OF Novoe Vrem.

popular comment. Great significance
attaches u the freedom with which the
newspapers arc discussing the matter.
The cry has been taken up by the re-

M. Souvenir returns To the charge In

causing chaos In the public service,
each pulling its own way, ecure from
criticism under the cloak OF persona.

Europe, now we need to open the door
and let what IL best OF western prog.

NJ. Souvenir also recalls the words
Of Alexander H.:

Empress Elizabeth. Great Fortune.

The immcnkc fortune Of the late en-
press Of Austria was absolutely at her

servants. The jewels are valued ut
1900, 900 marks, and were the private
property Of the empress. quite npart
from the imperial Jewels, which were

FOUR MEN KILLED.
suffoeated by Fire In Different Parts
Of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, December 25.-Four men
were suffocated from fire in two differ
ent parts of the city today. At a board
ing house in Hood street, Charles Nc
Cusker, aged "A; James Merry. Al and Jo-
seph McGill died in trap made by them
selves. Against the wishes and knowl-
edge of their boarding house-keeper, the
three men took a quantity of whisky to
their room. They placed one of the two
beds In the apartment against the door
to prevent interference by the board
ing house keeper
After the men had retired, a lighted
candle fell from the mantle on the grea-
sy working clothes of one of the board
ers The clothing was ignited and the
room was soon filled with thick smoke.
McGill was awakened by the smoke but
was unable to remove the bed from the
door, and fell to the floor unconscious.
The boarding house keeper discovered
the smoke and when the room was brok
en- into McCusker and Merry were found
dead. McGill died soon after being re-
moved to a hospital.
At 1885 Paramount avenue, Edward
Rathtine. aged 25 was also suffocated.
It is believed he set the bedclotes on
fire with lighted cigar and in trying
to leave the room crawled into a closet
by mistake, where he was found dead.

THE BEAUTY DOCTOR
COMPANY REJOICES
MEMBERS GIVEN A sPRlGHTLY
BANQUET AT THE HlLLMAN BY
THEIR MANAoER-AN EVENING
OF DELIGHT.

The banquet hall OF the Hillman last
night was the scene Of a little occasion,
the like of which had never before been
known in Birmingham. It was the
coming together of members OF the newly
arrived THE Beauty Doctor company
to attend "a little Christmas spread" as
the menu modestly explained, given the
jolly player-folks by their manager, Fred
e. Wright, who In far-away Milwaukee,
would have his associates know that,
though absent in person. he and Mrs.
Wright were heartily with them in spirit.
More than three SCORE banqueters sat
around the bountiful board, and for nearly
three hours all went merry as a marriage
bell. Among those present were Thomas
w. Prior. the director of the company;
Charles p. Morrison, the leading man;
VIII Philbrick, Harry. G. Walters, Harry
S. Stanley, Percy WaI1ing, Fred Hylands.

The invited guests were M. L. Seaman,
manager of the BiJou theatre Joseph

representative of each of the three Bir-
mingham daily newspapers.
The feature of the OCCASION. however,
was the absent ones. the sweethearts
and wives, and more especially Dr.
Wright, affectionately known as 1.-THE
GUNNER" and Mrs. Wright. not forgot
ten as 1.-THE Captain"
kilograms of congratulation were ex-
changed between Mr.. Wright and the
company, the former thanking his asso-
ciates for a handsome loving cup given
him. the latter expressing their graft
tude for Mr.. Wright's courtesy.
Toasts many. varied and witty were Of
fered. and presents, pendant from an
exquisite Christmas tree that sprang up
in one corner of the room, were distri-
buted The latter were intended to be
little satires on the peculiarities of mem
bers of the company, and though all were
clever none left sting. Twas nearly Il
o'clock when the goodiy company broke
up, with song by the quartette and good
wishes from each TO every other one who
was there.
The hit of the evening was the verses
composed and read by Mr.. Prior, the
director of the company.

BOARD WILL MEET
EARLY NEXT MONTH
NEW SCHOOL BOARD TO ORGAN.
izE-sPEcIAL MEETING ON THE
BOWMAN CONTRACT ToMoR'
ROW AFTERNOON.

The board of education will probably
mold Its first regular meeting Of the New
Year early in January That has been the
custom In the past.
AT the meeting B. A. Thompson. who
was elected as a member of the board by
the city council recently. will qualify,
ana the board will then proceed to Or
ganization. A. o. Lane and DR.. Samuel
ullman retire at the end of the year.
and Mayor Drennen and Mr.. Thompson
take their places. The attitude Of Mr.
Lane towards his membership on the
board until the end of the present year
caused somewhat of a surprise. Mr..
Lane holds that his construction of the
law Is that a members term Of office
expires when his successor is chosen. He
therefore failed to attend the special
meeting of the board of education held
Saturday at noon when the bids for the
construction of Birmingham's new high
school were opened.
Mayor Drennen, who is at present vice
president and ex-offeio member of the
board will be chosen as the president
and there will probably be no vice presi-
dent elected until Mayor Elect George
B. Ward qualities next May Henry B..
Gay will be reelected as the treasurer
of the board, and DR.. ]. II. Phillips, sup
erintendent of the public sohools. secre-
tary.
The board of education may hold a spe-
cial meeting probably tomorrow after
noon for the purpose of taking up the
matter of e. c. Bowman. the contractor.
with reference to his bid for the new high
school. 1t will be recalled that Mr.. Bow
man presented a bid, but the board did
not find the required certified check. 1t
was found later, however, in an I'M
addressed envelope at the office of Breen-
ing e Whilden, the architects
