"The Wizard of Oz,"

One of the features of "The Wizard of Oz,' Fred R. Hamlns musical extrava- ganza, which is booked for an appearance the lion which has created a sensation by it's amusing comedy and natural man. neP. Several people have played the char acter since eThe Wizard of oz'' was first produeted. The head is a fac-simile of a real lion and the expression of the face, the motion of the mouth and eyes, and the good-natured ferocity of the en- tire expression is laughable. Another com edy animal is the COW, 1mogene. which eavorts throughout the entire piece, much to the amusement of the young folks.

Flight Bells"

The Brothers Byrne play at the Jeffer- son theatre next Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee. The Byrnes are expert acrobats and although a capabable company fills in the minor parts the balance of the fun-maling falls upon the quartette who are host in themselves. There are d number of comical situations throughout the piece, notably the trick coach and the steamship interior which rolls most naturally during the entire act. In the last act, the John Byrne troupe of acrobats appear as statuary, and per form some excellent acts in tumbling, as well as posing in picturesque groups. The piece winds up with a clever aerobatic quadrllle.

Y. W. c. A. WORK.

T am surpriseds said one of Birning- hams most prominent women recently, that the general aims and work of the Young Womens Christian Association are not more fully understood. The associa- ton has grown to be such strong one in Birmingham and is daily increasing it's influence, and there is no excuse for any ignorance regarding it's real mission. But notwithstanding all that has been written about the work, the impression prevails to a certain extent that the association is exclusively for young business wom- en and that the luncheon feature is prob ably it's most attractive one, because of it's convenience. l am anxious to have .it impressed upon the public that the Young Women's Christian Association is Intended just as much for the women of leisure as for the business woman, and that it's various departments of work are organized to interest all women.
 The object of the association Is the improvement of the spiritual intellectual, social and physical life of all young wom- en- This expresses just what I mean, when l say that the association can im- PioNe anu Help every woman who cones in contact with either of it's departments. The Young women's Christian Associa- ton, then far from being merely a con venient lunehing place occupies the same position as that of the Young Mems Chris tan Association and in every way is it's work conducted on the broadest and most helpful lines.

COMMITTEE HOLDS MEETINGS.
Bill Completed Making State of Ari.
 zona and New Mexico.

Washington. March 15-The statehood problem today was taken up by the sub committee of the house committee on territories recently appointed to draft statehood bills for Arizona and New Mex leo and Oklahoma and Indian Territory. The bill making a state of the first two named was practically completed.
 The difficulty of adjusting the taxation and other questions with regard to the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory as a state are next to be taken up. When the second bill has been com pleted, it is probable the two bills will be joined as dual bill for two states out of the four territories. The sub-com- mittee is to continue it's work daily.

Little Host has done all that was ex- peeted of it by the management of the Bijou. It has proven the best production of the Biiou Musical Comedy company, and that is saying a great deal. These facts are testified to at every perform anee of the play. and the people of Bir- mingham are the witnesses. Their evil dences of enjoyment are sufficient to stamp the play a success.
 Two large audiences witnessed the play yesterday, and the sale of seats for to- night indicates another large audience
