"only a Shop Girl"

Miss Lottie Williams opened week engagement at the Bijou theatre last night in "Only a Shop Girl'' a play Tn
 which she has been very successiul 10 past seasons The audience was gene rous in It's applause and thoroughly en- loved the play. Musical numbers were introduced and the comedy element was so well sustained that there was little of tbe nelodrama tension that one Is accus- toned to expect. -
 As a girl of the streets Mss Williams ia very clever. She has caught the news hoy dialect with remarkable accuracy and Is tough" without being offensive. She was cordially received last night and made friends of all those present who did not see her last year in the same play. Not only does Miss Williams enact the part of a street waif very skillfully but she has all the arts of a good soul brette and when she sings a song an encore is sure to follow.
 Miss Williams Is supported this season by a very capable company. In fact the players are much above the average found in melodrama, with one or two exceptions. Those who appeared with credit last night were Gordon Grey as Arthur Thornton the young man who wins the heart of the shop girl and weds her in spite of several very mean villains; Al. Lester as Rufus Biggaby Newly, Miss Henrietta Tedro as Eva Arlington, Will liam J. Woods as Pelig Peddigrim, Mas ter George Cooper, and, of course, Miss

ONLY FIFTY CASES
 ON POLICE DOCKET
SMALL NUMBERS COMPARED WITH PREVIOUS RECORDS IN
 JUDGE FEAeIN's coURT-FRE- cUENTLY 100 CASE ON MONDAY.

Only fifty cases were on the docket in the police court yesterday, that being the sum total of the arrests since Saturday at noon. This Is reduction of about 50 per cent over the ordinary number Of cases on the Monday docket, when fre- quently over 100 arrests have been made from Saturday noon until Monday at noon.
 The reduction in number is about equal in percentage to the reductions shown each day in the number of arrests, and Is probably the smallest number of cases on a Monday docket in many months. It Is result of the combined efforts of the police department and the police court to improve order in the city.
 Of the cases yesterday not one bordered on serious charge and only one of them was felony. This Judge Feagin had set tied to the satisfaction of every one, when the prosecutor returned and swore out a warrant and had the woman ar rested again and bound over to the crim- inal court.
 Otherwise the fines imposed did not go over S15, and there was only one that high. The remainder were for s1, 5 and $10, therefore the amount of money turned into the city treasury yesterday by the clerk of the court was much less than the usual amount turned in on Monday afternoon.

FIREMEN LAMENT
 DEATH OF COMRADE
HENRY c. WEBB WAS A FAITHFUL MEMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT AND THE RELIEF ASSOCIATION. HAD MANY STRONG FRIENDS.

At meeting of the relief association of the fire department yesterday the follow ing resolutions were passed on the death of Henry c. Webb, former member of the fire department and a member of the relief association at the time of his death:
 Whereas, all wise Providence has seen fit to remove from our midst our friend and brother, Henry c. Webb, while at his post of duty;
 And, whereas, our deceased brother, though quiet and unassmuing in his na- ture was charitable, generous, just and fair to his brother members of this asso- citation and to his fellow man, and one who never shirked an unpleasant or dan- gerous duty or avoided a responsibility. In all he was one possessed of all the attributes that constitute a manly man. Gods nobles work
 Therefore, be it resolved, that in the death of Brother Webb the Birmingham Firemen's Relief association, of which he was a charter member. has lost one of the truest, brayest and most loyal mem bers whose fidelity and love for the asso- citation will always becherished by his brother members who survive him. Resolved further that a copy of these resolutions be furnished his bereaved and distressed wife and family with whom we deeply sympathize, and also a copy be furnished the Age-Herald for publication, and that same be spread upon the min utes of this association.

.SEABOARD AIR LINE
 NEARLY COMPLETED
Big Tunnel at HardWick Gap
 Rerdy for Track
ROAD OPENS IN DECEMBER
seaboard's Passenger Train Are to Enter Union Station From Twenty seventh Street Over the
 4. G. s. Tracks.

Engineer Jones, in charge of the Sea boards construction work on the Atlanta and Birmingham railroad, was in the city yesterday. He says the line will be completed to Birmingham sometime in December. It was announced recently that the work would be finished by the first of December, but as the time draws near, 1t is seen that the middle of next month will be about the date for the opening of the road.
 The big tunnel at Hardwick gap Is com pleted. This was a tedious and expensive undertaking, and at one time 1t looked as if 1t would not be ready for the track before next spring, but the contractors pushed very hard recently. and their en- terprise has at last been crowned with success.
 The Seaboard's Birmingham freight depot on Twentieth street was finished several weeks ago. In this building will be located the offices of the superintendent, train dispatchers and division officials generally. The traffic offices will remain on First avenue, In the Woodward buiiu- ing.
 The Seaboards passenger trains will enter the union passenger station over the Alabama Great Southern tracks from Twenty-seventh or Twenty-eighth street When the road Is opened in December local passenger trains will be installed l but 1t will be spring, after the roadbed shall have settled, before a through pas senger service between New York and Birmingham Is operated When the through trains are put on. however. they will run on an exceptionally fast sche6- ule
 The distance between Birmingham and Atlanta is a fraction over 16S miles, dIvid- ed as follows: Birmingham to Coal City 39 miles, Coal City to Rocknart, Ga. S2 miles, and Rockmart to Atlanta 4 miles.

MT. sehlotterbeek, In Charge of Tour Across the Country, Now In Blr- minqham-Nordiea Will Be
 Among the Principals.

Wagner's "Parsifal' will be presented in Birmingham this season by Conrieds famous organization from the Metropoli- tan Opera house, New York.
 A tour across the country is being ar ranged and G. Schlotterbeck' in charge of this tour. is now in the city. He said yesterday that MT. Conreid would travel with A company of 225, including the full opera house orchestra of 60 pieces Nor dica will be among the principals,
 Louisville, Nashville Birmingham and New orleans are the only southern cities that will be visited by this company Mir Sehlotterbeck expects to secure the Biiou theatre for one night during Easter week.
 When Grau was managing the Metro polltan Opera house he made cross the-country tour and gave "Lohengrh at the Biiou, the box office receipts run ming over s7OO0. Since that time no great onera company nas appeared in the south' but this season Birmingham IS to De Vis- ited by two large troups-the saVase English Opera company and the Metro- politan.. The Savage trou2 is booked ut the Jefferson theatre for January ls. IL has A fine repertoire including "Parsifaf' but 1t has not yet been decided what opera will be given here. Savage VIII bring a number of distinguished prlnei- pals, big chorus and an orchestra or fifty.
 Mr. Schlotterueck says that MT. Conried is determined to go on the road with the same elaborate outfit that he uses at the Metropolitan Opera house. which wlp make this across-the-country enterprise the most stupendous an expensive unoer- taking of its kind ever attempted. As the southern end of the tour Is to be limited it became question with MT. schlotterbeck as to whether Memphis or Birmingham would be the better town TOT A. "Parsifar performance. It did not take him long to decide in favor of Birming- ham.
 The management will arrange with the railroads to run excursion trains nere from Montgomery, Selma, Anniston' Goodwater and other Alabama towns. MT schlotterbeck estimates that at least 300 people will come from various cities | to see "Parsifal."
