"Her Lord and Master."

Miss Helen Grantly appeared at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last nigh. in revival of Her Lord and Master" The play was written by Martha Norton and its plot concerns chiefly the manner in which an English lord married a slip of a western girl, spoiled. petted and untameable. and then proceeded to make her realize that he was her lord and master. The play Is not especially strong but 1t is pleasing and was very well presented
 Miss Grantly is not as pretty as her picture would lead one to believe and her voice is a distressing handicap, but her appealing girlish ways were very clever at times. although when she att tempted to typify wild western abandon by skipping about she was very unnatu- ral and very forced. She was better at pouting than anything else.
 However. Miss Grantly had the support of good company. Ernest Richard as Thurston, Viscount Canning, was excep- tionally talented. He is an actor of marked ability, quiet, repressed and nat ural with a good stage presence and easy bearing The remaining members of the company also acquitted them- selves creditably. The stage settings were effective, the interior view of Lord Can ning's London house being a pretty scenic picture.

DAMAGE FOR LIBEL
 ALLOWED BY COURT
New Phase Is Placed on Libel Laws of Tennessee By Decision
 Handed Down Yesterday.


 Nashville. Tenn, November 2Ss-A dis patch to the Banner from Knoxville, Tenn, says:
 This morning in the supreme court Judge Shields delivered the opinion of the court on the case of A. Satterfeld against the Journal and Tribune, affirm ing the decision of the court below and ordering remittur of S400 on the judg- ment of $500 which was obtained below. The costs in the case will amount to about $350, which the defendant news paper will have to pay. This was libel suit, and .he decision of the court makes a new construction of the law as regards the publication of libel by a newspaper, as will be seen from the following facts:
 Ephrian Satterfield was arrested on the charge of working a knife trick and tried before Squire William Fitzgerald. The morning paper published the facts of the arrest, and the reporter who wrote the item used the nam of Az Satterfield in stead of Eph Satterfield. Az Satterfield conducts boarding house on Central avenue, and he brought the suit for dam ages and won it below. The decision of the court today is that while there is no malice intent shown in the publication, the injury O, the plaintiff, Satterfield was effective just the same, and that the cor rection that was made five days after wards did not invalidate the wrong done. The decision will have far-reaching ef- feet

SUPREME COURT
 HAS NO AUTHORITY
THE IMPEACHMENT PROCEED INGS AGAINST SHERIFF RoDG- FRS WILL PROBABLY GO TO NAUGHT-oTHER NEWS.

Montgomery, November 23.-(Special.)- The impeachment proceedings against Sheriff Rodgers of Madison county, which come up before the supreme court tomor- row will be interesting in that Mir. Rodgers has filed a motion to quash the information on the grounds that the su- preme court has no right to try the case. The new constitution put impeachments of sheriffs before the supreme court, but the legislature did not provide law. Conse- quently there is no law to impeach a sheriff save before city or circuit courts, which gives him the right of trial by jury and appeal to the supreme court. On this ground the case will very likely be thrown out and the impeachment go to naught. This will also mean that no sheriff can be impeached until the legis- lature meets again and provides statute.
 Prof. T. J. Lamar the newly elected superintendent of education of Walker county, was here today to look into the law by which he may secure his office, the old man, R. D. Argo, refusing to va cate. claiming that under the new law he is entitled to one year more. The office in Walker county pays about $1.20O year.

 ISFAST VESSEL Fastest Run EVef Made by an
 American Ship EXCEEDS THE REQUIREMENT
Economy of Fuel Consumption During the TrIaIls Considered Remark able By Men Who Over
 saw the Test.

Boston. November 23-The d cruiser Pennsylvania, in her official trip off the New England coast, today made the highest speed with the smallest rel. ative expenditure of fuel of any armored vessel so far built for the United States navy. Her contract called for p knots, and her average speed for the four hours trial was PAS knots per hour, while her coal consumption was 2.2 pounds per horse power per hour.
 Her builders, Wm. Cramp 6 Son of Philadelphia, made no attempt through out the trial to push this. their greatest vessel, but on the other hand bent their energies to exceed the government re- quirement at most economic expediture of fuel possible. Her trial was therefore the first of the numerous tests over the Cape Ann course where speed was not the sought for object
 The day was perfect for the trial. moderate breeze at the start falling to a flat calm at the finish, while the sea throughout was very smooth. At one time for 6.6 knots the speed of the Pennsyl- vania was 23.2.
 There was considerable interest in com paring her effort today with that of her consort, the Colorado, which preceded her from the Cramps yard only month be- fore. While the latter made a 66 knot squirt at the rate of 23294 per hour, her average for the entire course of SS miles was 22.23 knots, compared with the Penn sylvania's 22.43.
 The economy in fuel consumption, &C., cording to Edwin s. Cramp, was due to rigid discipline in the flreroom and the excellence of the boilers. The engines de- veloped horse power of over 2S.0OO, while the propellers averaged 12S revolutions per minute.

 'I have received today a cable from the Cuban government in which 1t is denied that there are four cases of yellow fever in Cuba
 There is only one case of yellow fever in Cuba at the present time, and that was imported. This case was reported in San tiago province on little island called Punta Sal. This case did not amount to anything on account of the measures taken by the sanitary department of the government"
