MUTUAL INSURANCE ON PIKE.
Concessionaires and Exhibitors at
 Worlds Fair Have Formed Pool.

St Louis, April 9.-Ffre protection and insurance for property on The Pike has been provided by a pool of the worlds fair concessionaires which will under write 60 per cent of the risks and estab- fish in addition to the fire-fighting force of the exposition a system of inspection a salvage corps and a fire department.
 Ten per cent of the insurance value of the property will be deposited in trust in the Worlds Fair bank and from this fund losses will be paid. If there are no fires the money will be refunded to the mem- bers of the pool at the close of the expo sition.
 Management of the plans has been placed in charge of George D. Markham and A. R. Rogers, who have also arrang- ed with old line insurancec ompanies for placing the remaining 40 per cent of the risks, thus giving to the concessionaire full protection from loss at a minimum rate
 Exhibits in the various exposition pal aces will be protected by a similar pool formed among the exhibitors. The large insurance concerns have professed un- willingness to issue policies on exhibits to the amount asked and the plan which has been arranged solves this problem.
 With a careful system of inspection and ready at hand fire-hghting equipment it Is expected to prevent fires altogether and if there should be losses these precau- tions 1t Is hoped, will suffice to keep them at the minimum. The additional force will not in any way conflict with the ex- position fire department but will be con- sidered as an auxiliary.

The past week has been exceedingly dull In local theatrical circles, but the next week has some good plays in store. On Monday night Joseph Jefferson will present "The Ri- yals'' at the Jefferson theatre When the gerat actors age is remembered 1t is remarkable that he essays a part like that of Bob Acres so successfully, yet the weight of years does not rest upon him when he is on the stage and the fire of youth apparently courses as wig orously through his veins as when he was twenty years younger. However, it must be confessed that Mir Jefferson does show his age when seen on the street.
 Although Birmingham would perhaps prefer to see the immortal Rip" once more, the admirers of MT. Jefferson will be delighted at the opportunity of again seeing him in "The Rivals"
 Tuesday night Fay Davis plays a re- turn engagement and will present a clev- CT comedy entitled "The Whitewashing of Julia" Miss Davis will be supported by members of the Empire Stock com pany and is said to appear to advantage in her new play. When here earlier In the season she played Lady Roses Daughter very successfully and she will probably be greeted by a large audience Tuesday night at the Jefferson.
 Wednesday afternoon and night the Black Patti Troubadours will also play a return engagement. This well known organization has made a very success full tour this season.
 Thursday night the piquant Marie Ca hill will play Nancy Brown and the prospects are that she will be greeted by the usual crowded house when rollick- ing comedy is the offering.
 At the Bijou this week "A Ragged He- TO- will hold the boards. This is said to be a good melodrama treating of New England scenes and incidents that are well presented. The play was written by Maurice Fielding Melodrama has proven quite popular at the Biiou this season and "A Ragged Hero promises to draw good houses.

NANA'S STAY OVER.
Only One Week More.

The exhibition of Suchorowskys real istic picture Mana has reached Its last week. Despite the fact that Mana has been seven weeks in Birmingham, the interest manifested in this wonderful painting is as great as ever. Last week over four thousand ladies and gentlemen visited No. 200S Third avenue to see it., and one and all pronounced it to be the most life-like picture 1t had ever been their good fortune to see. Saturday next Is the last day of Nana's exhibition here. However successful 1t may be, it's visit cannot be prolonged after that date, as arrangements have been made for its ap- pearance elsewhere.
 One gazes on this supreme work of art with feelings which come perilously near to ado-ation So exquisitely beautiful a woman can only inspire the truest and highest thoughts Before the scantified rudeness one feels on sacred ground. The marvellous moulding of the exquisite limbs, the lovely contours of the body. and the gently swelling glories of the bust hold us captive. The artist seems to have painted with magic brush. Ha gives something better than life itself nature idealized The laughing face, and those marvellous eyes which dance and glisten with real animation. and the rico flow of golden silky hair. will long dwen in the memory So real Is this face that 1t is difficult rot to believe the figure glows and pulsates. The oraperies. the trinkets the massive candelabra. and in deed all. the details of the picture will repay long examination.
 So that everybody can see Mana, the rate of admission Is now oniy 10 cents all day for the farewell week. The paint ing is on view daily from 10 a. m to 10 D. m.

Black Patti Troubadours.

The Black Patti Troubadours. present. ing varied style of entertainments will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday matinee and night
 The company consists of thirty mem bers. headed by Mme. Sissieretta Jones, popularly known as the Black Patti" and considered to be the most accom- plished singer of her race. Black Patti has appeared with great success in Europe, singing at Paris, Berlin. St. Pe- tersburg. London and other music cen tres, and enjoys the distinction of hay ing sung by command for the present king of Great Britain. At the Madison Square garden. New York city. she att tracted an audience numbering over 16- GOO, and at the great Pttsburg exposi- tion 23,OOO people assembled to hear her sing.
 She has been the stellar attraction of the "Troubadours'' for eight consecutive seasons and the success of this company in the United States Is due in a large measure to the vocal accomplishments of this singer. There are twenty-five other singers, dancers, comedians, vaude- vile specialists, cake walkers and coon shouters comprising the Black Patti Troubadours," who appear in stage show that is as varied as it is entertaining, and is enjoyed without the aid of a ibretto or an interpreter.

although comparatively unknown pro- fessionally in this. her native land will make her second appearance in this city at the Jefferson theatre next Tuesday, presenting "Whitewashing Julia a con- edy by Henry Arthur Jones, author of The Liars' and Mrs. Danes Defense" It Is said that the charm of the comedy lies not so much in the interest of the story as in the cleverness of the lines, which are in MT Jones happiest vein.
 The story of the play revolves around Mrs. Julia Wren, a widow who has been concerned in a mysterious affair in which foreign duke, dressing bag, tortoise shell comb and, above all, puff box have had share. When she returns to her native land society Is resolved to 'eut her dead" She shows herself ex- perimentally at a charity bazaar and gets the cold shoulder from the ladies, her former friends This reception, how ever, is compensated for by the admira- ton she excites in the heart of MT Will liam Stillingheet, a genial good natured man of the world, who makes Mrs. Wren's acquaintance in a refreshment tent where they have been obliged to re- tire on account of a sudden shower. The Joseph Surface of the community is the Hon. Bevis Pinkney, Stillingfeets ne- phew. young hypocrite, who lectures his uncle in good set phrases and with iilucn Seil TlBHAepuSHeSSs
 Bevis, while at Oxford, became entan- gled with an intriguing young woman named Benbow, and Is in deadly fear of her turning up at Shanctonbury and ex posing him This same young woman has also extracted a promise of marriage from Bevis weak minded brother, Ed win. In the second act, just after Stil- ingfieet has proposed to Mrs Wren at her home "The Mount" Edwin calls seeking sympathv and advice and is fol- lowed by the young woman and her mother. Lady Pinkney arrives, sees the adventures and is mortified to hear of Edwin's foolish engagement Mrs. Wren comes to the rescue with a suggestion to gain time which is readily adopted by Lady Pinkney in her distress. Certain letters on which the Benbows relied to gain a possible breach of promise case are recovered by Mrs. Wren, and Edwin is saved
 Stillingfleet announces his engagement to Mrs. Wren. Just after Beyis has giv- en vdht to an imprudent and unctuous protest the Benbows turn up and recog- nize in the white sepulchre' the person who, under another name. was entangled with Rosie. Bevs is crushed by Stilling fleets discovery of the state of the case, and, to buy his silence, acknowledges Mrs. Wren and forces his wife to do likewise Julia offers Stillngfleet a letter explaining the "puffbox" mystery but he burns it unread and the curtain falls in general contentment.

tie girl from the upper window of a burning farm house by the heroic tramp, who, in the absence of a ladder, pumps up' swing to the height of the window the child leaping into his arms as the building collapses; and the timely return of the aeronaut who from his balloon overhead has been the sole witness of the murder, are among the original features of the production.
 The most thrilling situation yet devised by the combined art of the playwright and the stage mechanic occurs in the third act The scene represents steep hill on country road, in the dead of winter. At the foot of the hill runs the track of the Boston & Maine railroad: beyond the crossing is the penitentiary, where in fifteen minutes the honest far mer's son will meet the death penalty for another's crime. At this critical june ture the heroine, whose over driven horse has dropped in his tracks. appears at the summit, bearing the governors reprieve. Tearfully she beseeches a country boy lwho is waiting with his sled till the overdue express shall have passed) to coast down the hill and carry the life saving document to the prison gates; but the yolsel, fearing danger, stolidly re- fuses. Then, nerved by her lovers peril to disregard her own, she seizes the sled rom its gaping owner. and with a prayer on her lips. commences the wild ride down the hill as the train whistles for the crossing. The glare of the headlight falls on the white face of the girl cinging to the speeding sled-the roar of the train is deafening High above the tumult of sound comes the shriek of warning from the iron monster as the engineer sights the flying figure; then the frail vehicle, striking the crossing with fearful mo- mentum. leaps into the air with the vio- lence of the impact and shoots across the rails with its intrepid rider as the locomotive whirls by in cloud of steam and snow.

AGRICULTURAL ENGLAND.
Is Now Installing Her Display at the
 Worlds Fair.

St. Louis. April 9.-Great Britain Is now installing her agricultural display in the palace of agriculture at the worlds fair This display is distinguished from all others in that palace chiefly by the fact that 1t is not strictly. agricultural. Eng land, the tight little isle, Is not farming country. She imports the greater part of her provisions for man and beast. Con- sequently an attempt by England to make showing of native farm products alongside of those from an American state of the middle west would not re- dound to the credit of the mother coun- try.
 England's commissioners, accordingly, have chosen another method of proving the intimate interest of her people in the products of the fields. This is by the exhibition of several completed plants for baking and the manufacture of con fections. Thus the items of preparation and consumption, in relation to food pro- ducts, figure most largely in Englands agricultural display.
 The government makes an exhibit of the results of the operation of the. insti- tuition known as Laws Agricultural Trust founded some seventy years ago through bequests from John Law The objects of this institution are to conserve the uses of English soil for farming purposes by a scientific rotation of crops, special fertilization methods, etc. The govern ment operates farms where these meth ods are taught and beneficial results have been brought about. Practically all farm land in England has been worked for many centuries. The soil naturally be- comes impoverished, and radical meas ures must be taken to restore 1t. To this end Laws Agricultural Trust has worked along the most approved scientific lines. These methods, with their general and specific results, will be shown in Eng lands space of the palace of agriculture, and doubtless will prove of curious in- terest to American farmers who have more land than they can use, and to whom a fertilizer in most cases, is an unknown quantity.
 In England all land Is plowed deep, usually fifteen inches of the soil being turned. But in spite of the depth of cul- tivation, centuries of crop growing have sapped the life of the soil. Fertilization insures such crops as are grown, among which barley is prominent. In England barley and wheat are called corn. Practi- cally no maize is grown.
 The British space in the palace em- braces 10000 square feet, at the right of the northern entrance. At the outset Britain had not idea of making display in this building. The first appropriation l for participation in the worlds fair was l $150,0 GOO. At that time it was intended to conflne the exhibits to art and education. As time went on the interest of Eng 1 land in the exposition grew and second appropriation was made, increasing the amount to $400,O00. Later the appreciation has been increased to about three-quar- ters of a million dollars and Great Brit ain is installing exhibits in all of the great buildings except machinery hsu.

"A Rauqed Hero"

"A Ragged Hero" Maurice J. Field ing's realistic play of New England home life. which appears at the Bijou for six nights and three matinees, starting to- morrow night with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday proved to be one of the principal dramatic successes of last season. As the title indicates the hero of the play is tramp, but one totally different from the type familiar to theatre-goers. Although vision of picturesque seediness, unkempt and some times the worse for liquor, he still pos sesses traces of his former gentity and rises, through the love of a child and the friendship of a woman, from poverty to competence.
 Incidental to the Phoenix-like redemp- ton of the Knight of the road" the threads of a pretty love story are woven through the play. The murder of the old farmer by his son. the accusation by the murderer of his somnamulistic broth CT, and the latters consequent impris- onment and death sentence from which he is saved in the nick of time by his faithful sweetheart; the rescue of lit

Joseph Jefferson.

Joseph Jefferson has not yet made up
 his mind to retire from the stage. He Is not thinking of such a thing. There's no young and successful actor of the day who brings as much enthusiasm to the practice of his art as Mir Jefferson does
 none that shows his youth so convinc- ingly, none that can create a laugh or caox tear so easily and gracefully.
 And yet MT. Jefferson, who will play an engagement at the Jefferson theatre next Monday night. presenting "The Rivals,
 has given over sixty years Of hard Work
 to the theatre playing during that time hundreds of different parts and for near ly half century being a conspicuous
 figure on the American stage He is the dean of the profession in this country and the most genuinely representative of all American artists His long and
 brilliant carer makes 1t possible for him
 to retire at any time with distinction and with the affectionate well wishes of a public which has grown to love as well as to admire him. but this public
 will be sorry to see him go for it will mean that dear old Rip Van Wrinkle
 and delightful Boh Acres, and Caleb
 Hummer and Golightly will have disap-
 peared from the scene forever. As they belong inseparably to MT. Jefferson no
 artist will ever again endear them to theatre goers hearts as he has done.
 The public Is always glad to welcome the comedian when he comes around
 each season, and its only regret Is that as old age advances he cuts his seasons shorter and narrows the radius of his travels It is to be expected that some day nature will succumb under its load
 of years and the favorite old actor will be compelled to retire. This may happen
 at any time. so that really any visit Of MT Jeffersons S may be his last It there fore behooves those members of the new
 generation who are not yet acquainted
 with the wonderful art of this player, who have not yet heard him give his Rip Van Wrinkle laugh or toast. You and vo1r family" with a may they live long and prosper" to avail themselves of the opportunity that now offers and learn the value of wholesome, happy comedy. l It is conceded that Mir. Jefferson at no time in his career played with a greater l force finish or ferver than he Is playing now He Is at the ripest age of his art.
 The laugh and the tear flow as readily
 today as they did forty years ago when
 he was making his first conquests with
 .Rip Van Wrinkle" Besides Rip and Bob Acres he includes Caleb Hummer of ",rhe Cricket On the Hearth" and Co., lightly of Lend Me Five Shillings' in his repertory this season. There is a universal demand for Rip. Theatre go-
 CTS never seem to tire of it, and for that reason the jovial old CatslSill vagabond Is oftenest presented No other charac- ter in the entire range of the drama has
 ever taken such a strong hold on popular favor Bob Acres is a strong second Tor

Marie Cahlll.

When Miss Marie Cahill, who is star ring in Nancy Brown" appears here next Thursday night the play goers of Birmingham will have an opportunity of seeing an actress who has established new school of comedy.
 As a comedienne Miss Cahill's work Is unique and typical of herself alone. Her first entrance In the opening of Nan ey Brown" Is characteristically express sive of everything she does She walks simply upon the stage. unheralded. She goes straight down to the footlights and smiles and after that her audience be- longs to her She seems to say to every one of the myriad faces before her: "Uellol Let us be friends I like you and I'm going to try and make you like me Want to hear me sing All right. Then she sings and that's all there is to 1t.
 There have been many columns written about Miss Cahill by clever men and women but in the end, all the praise lavished upon her and her art narrows it. self down to a single term-individuality. As one critic said: There Is but single actress like Marie Cahill in the world. and that Is Marie Cahill.'
 Aside from the stars individual work. one of the most potent reasons for the success scored by Nancy Brown in New York and Boston, lies in the ex- celient supporting company. The metro politan verdict that the cast of Nancy Brown" is composed of the best musi- cal comedy company in America IS strongly endorsed wherever the troup appears. Julius Steger, who sings the leading tenor role in the piece is consd- cred one of the most finished artists in the light musical field. II. w. Frederick is known in every city in the United States by reason of the many leading comedy roles he has played Ali Grant, who has the role of Noah Little, was a vaudeville star before he was tempted into musical comedy by the salary of- fered him to create one of the comedy roles in Nancy Brown" Harry Brown, who plays another leading comedy role. was a member of The Bostonians' for number of years. and alternated with Henry Clay Barnabee as the sher- if of Nottingham in Robin Hood''
 Miss Clara Palmer. granddaughter of the famous Indian fighter, Colonel Pal mer is a pretty girl with a pretty voice. One of the hits of the piece is the duet "A Little Birdie Told me So,' which Miss Palmer sings with MT. Atwell Donah Benrino, who plays the part of the Prin- cess Burboo, sprang into prominence in single season. This is but her second year on the stage and she has already proved to be an emotional player of rare ability.
 Eleanor Lawson is the tallest woman on the American stage and one of the most beautiful She posed for the young CT daughter of MT. Pipp' in Charles Dana Gibsen's series of drawings, ''The Education of Mir Pipp." Augustus Thom- as, the playwright has written a comedy around these pictures.
