Tim Murphy.

Birmingham was glad to welcome Tim Murphy again last night, and when the curtain fell at the close of his new com edy. Two Men and a Girl" all agreed that he had achieved one of his most pronounced successes. The play is an exquisite comedy, with just that leaven of pathos and a dash of real tragedy at times which gives free reign to MT. Mur- phys genius. He made love as he has so often done before and when the fight apparently went against him he was cheery in defeat. Comedy predominated, however, and laughs outweighed the tears
 1.-TWO Men and a Girl'' is play that calls forth a response from the finer sem abilities. There is not moment when the lights and shadows of human emo ton cease to play, or when the sympa- thies are not stirred deeply. Pathos and humor followed each other in such rapid succession that the audience barely ceas- ed to smile before 1t was ready to weep over Tim Murphy's inimitable love mak- ing It would have been hard for him to have found play better suited to his art
 The two men" are brothers and they are suitors for the hand of the girl" One brother is dssipated fellow who has ..rown away his share of the inher- ltance and first won the heart of the girl only to cast her aside. The other brother is all that is noble, the antithesis | of the first. He has been successful in life and in his advancing years he, too, falls in love with the girl and she prom ises to marry him, although she is doubt | full about her love. The appearance of the spendthrift brother on the scene, the struggle of the girl against her old pas- sion, the false suspicious and momentary dispair awakened fin the heart of the elder brother and his final victory over his rival when he wins the girl at the mo- ment of renouncing her. serves to tell 1 the story. About the main plot are skill fully woven two loye-matches of the l purest comedy, while the affection of an old man-servant for his master is bit | of comedy that Is seldom equalled.
 The love affairs of the two couples who | were brought to their senses by little | judicious flirting furnished most of the fun and Miss Dorothy Sherrod was here
 
 ble nirt. There are few more delightful scenes than her reconciliation with "Un- | derwood' on the sofa, while at all times | she was winsome to degree. Miss Louis l Whitfield as Jess Lorrinder also acquitted | herself handsomely as a lighter and more l frivolous flirt but very successful one, l nevertheless. Her vivacity was conta- l gious while the comical love-pangs of J. l Chadwick Valentine. a Yale junior who was being disciplined evoked shouts of laughter. Olney Griffin played the part l of Piper" valet to Doctor Allisford' 1 retired, and he played it so well that 1t could hardly be improved upon- His fla | cial expressions, his makeup and his 1 apparent feebleness were too real to ap- | pear counterfeit. He furnished no small | part of the richest comedy. Miss Ger trude Dalton was sympathetic as Emily | Allisford. the girl while Tim Murphy l may congratulate himself on having Wal

PRISONER IN JAIL QUOTES SCRIPTURE Georgia Man Lectures Chief of
 Police Wier GENESIS TO REVELATION N. Watkins of Fitzgerald, Ga, In cus- tody Here-supposed to Be
 crazy-5rother Will
 Come for Him.
GENESIS TO REVELATION

N. Watkins. the man from Fitzgerald, Ga, who is supposed to be crazy and who was arrested Saturday gave Chief wier an hours "good time" yesterday. during which he accused the chief of not knowing the Bible and not living up to It's precepts.
 It seems to be the order of the day for the chief and Judge Feagin to get lectures from religious fanatics these days Only last week religionist gave Judge Feagin long talk on the Bible and told him how he should practice it's pre- cepts. Yesterday Watkins gave Chief Wier his turn.
 Watkins had small tin box which he claimed was his Bible. and from which he thought he was quoting the scrip lures. He started at Genesis and wound up at Revelation and mixed with his lessons from the scriptures" were va rious words which 1t Is not nice to re- peat. He accused the chief of not being Christian for holding in jail against his will. and offered to pray with the head of the police department right there in the office.
 David and the Psalms were the cmef subjects of Watkins talk and he said to the chief:
 "I know all men have their faults. Even David had his, and Peter ana James and John had theirs. Just take Peter for example. He denied hls saVior three times with oaths and still he was forgiven. So will I be forgiven. ana know will go to heaven"
 Watkins is the man who gave Detec- lives Bodeker, Hamilton and Policeman Murphy such fight when they put hin in jail without hurting him Watkins brother is expected to come after him in l the next day or so. The man VOWS vengeance against his brother and says he will never return home.
 All Sunday night Watkins kept the prisoners in the city jail awake with his noise The hunks on which the prisoners sleep are hung by hinges to the wall, and the outer side Is supported by chains which run to the walls and hold the hunks up. Watkins would raise the edge of the bunk up and drop it heavily making an awful noise which kept every body from sleeping. The night warder was finally forced to tie him to proven his continuing the noise all night.

VENERABLE WOMAN
 HAS PASSED AWAY
WIFE OF DIR. R. D. JACKSON DIES AT AGE OF 68-GoLDEN WED- DING WAS CELEBRATED RE- GENTLY.

Mrs. Jackson, wife of Dr. R. D. Jack son and mother of President Fred NJ. Jackson of the commercial club. died yesterday morning at the family resi- dence on Fifty-ninth street in Woodlawn. For several weeks she has been i'll but last week she was much improved and there were hopes for her recovry.

Baird of searles, and Mrs. Lucy Bell of Woodlawn
 The funeral services will be from the residence in Woodlawn this afternoon at o'clock and the interment will be in Woodlawn cemetery. A friend of the de- ceased has written the following sketch:
 "A peculiar pathos attaches to the death of Mrs. R. D. Jackson. which oc- cured yesterday morning at the family home in Woodlawn. Only on July 19 last she and her husband celebrated their golden wedding at the home of their son, MT. Fred M. Jackson, on the South High lands It was happy day, all the chil- dren and grandch..eren being present. with many relatives and friends. Dr. and Mrs. Jackson were both in the enjoyment of hale and hearty old age, and surely no couple ever passed their fiftietf- anniver- sary with more glowing promise of manys years more to come.
 Mrs. Jackson's death came as a sur prise to her own family. week ago she was thought to be nearing the end, but rallied and as late as Friday no doubt was entertained of her speedy recovery.
 Mrs. Sarah Mitchell Jackson was the daughter of Dr. A. II. Mitchell, the ven- erable minister who died few years since after passing the 9Oth milestone. She was the o;lhy child of such a father. Her venerable husband and four children survive her"
