always pleasant to recall. The high rep utation achieved by De Koyen was not tarnished, when he wrote Red Feather" Perhaps the libretto Is not as bright as the hhretto of the operas of De Koven. when Harry Smith was his co-author. but the hbretto of Red Feather" Is ciev- CT enough to keep the audience from lan- gushing, between the music and that's what hbretto Is for. Nt y Miss Grace Van studdiford has been seen in Montgomery many times. Grace Van Studdiford" is . fine name. When one pronounces 1t, the idea of some thing, big and regal, and fine, flashes through ones brain. Whether Grace Van studdiford was christened Grace Van Studdiford" or not makes little difference but she is all the name suggests. She Is big, and regal and fine. And the popular artist never appeared to better advantage than she did last night The audience couldn't set enough of her. Af- ter she had responded to encore after encore and tried to, let others have a show, the audience would not stand for it. They demanded more and Miss Van Studdiford always gave it to them and every time she saug her voice made the audience more than ever her personal property.
 But there were others. Red Feather'' WOuIQ HOI D6 tHS SuCCcoS IL ID II tkleIS were not others. Those others in the main are James E. Sullivan. Louis Cassa- want and W. J. Mccarthy, occupation. comedians. Three funnier men never worked together on a Montgomery stage. The lines did not give them the opportun- ity to be as funny as they might have been, but that trio didn't need lines. So accomplished are they in the art of stage business, that the audience howl ed with delight. when they stood still and looked Fat each other.
 George Tallman, who sings the leading tenor is young man of brilliant pros poets. He has voice of untold vol tune and as clear as the proverbial bell. The duet between MT. Tallfnan and Miss Van Studdiford ITO Call Thee Mine," in the first act will be long remembered in Montgomery.
 There were other people in Red Feath- err who had small parts and who did well. Among these might be mentioned Flo Redledge and Alfred B. MacGahen.
 The costuming of both the large male chorus and the equally nuneror female chorus was something rarely seen on the provincial stage. Among the musical numbers which will finger are Little Milliner," Prince of Good Fellows" Lessons in Verse; "If I Only Had a Moustache Like the Kaiser.'' '"rhe Hum orous Ghost. Garden of Dreams" and The Red Feather" chorus.
 The production was staged in keeping with the other brilliant features.

HALF A MILLION LOSS.
Three Persons Perished in Oklahoma
 Prairie Fire.

Prairie Fire.
 Oklahoma City, Ok, March 4.-Three persons perished in Wednesday nights prairie fire and the financial loss is esti- mated at half a million dollars. The dead: w.. H. Mover. near Walter, over come while fighting fire; Dr. Harmon, near Lawton, burned to death in his stable; unknown boy near Lawton, body found on prairie, burned to a crisp.
 Further reports, of, property loss by both ire and wind indicate that the first estimate was too low. The damage by wind extends over seven counties in the southwest. The total losses from fire and storm can as. yet only be estimated. but 1t Is the general opinion that they will reach $500.OO0.
 Hastings, Olustee, Leger. Walter, Granite, Elk City, Cache, Temple, Shy der, Willow, Bloomington, Sayre and Mountain Park all report damage both in town and surrounding. country by wind.
 Scores of people are suffering from broken limbs At Elk City three mem- bers of the family of M. s. Watts were seriously injured by the demolishIng of their home in the hurricane.
 The area from which reports of dam- age by wind come covers a hundred square miles, and means of communica- ton over the district are meagre. This difficulty Is increased by the fact that poles are burned and wires blown down. The little town of Francis, west of Mangum. was destroyed but no particu- lars are given.

EDUCATORS ADJOURN
PUBLIC MEETING IN GRACE
 BAPTIST TEMPLE,
Number of Teachers Attend Meeting in Philadelphia-Dr. c. c. Hall of New York Elected
 President.

Philadelphia, March 4-The Religious Education Association closed it's three days convention tonight with a large public meeting in Grace Baptist Temple
 The subject under discussion was tn. Bible in Social and Civil Life. The con vention has been considered a great sue. cess not only in the number of persons that attended the numerous sessions held but in the high character of the addressed made. In the forenoon general session at which the newly-elected President made an address on the annual survey of progress in religious and moral educa' ton.
 During the afternoon the following as sociations held sessions. Universities and colleges; theological seminaries; churches and pastors; Sunday schools: secondary public schools; elementary public schools Christian associations; young peoples SO cieties; libraries; Summer assemblies, and religious art and music.
 Miss E. L. Foote, of the New York Public Library, advocated the desirabil- ity of uniting existing Sunday School libraries with the nearest public lib-a- riss. She said that as the public library cannot usually afford all the books il is called upon to furnish, and as the sec- ular and religious are so far separated in our public ideas, the church must fui- nish the literature needed in the rel gious education and development of hs people.
 Rev. Charles Cuthbert Hall of New York, was elected President. The Vice. Presidents named include Rev. Levi Gil bert, Cincinnati; Miss Mary Evans, Lake Erie College. Gainesville, O.; Caroline Hazard, Wesleyan College.
 Following the election contributions were requested for the treasury of the association, $10.O0O being the sum ro- quired. The total amount was said lc be pledged before adjournment.

A popular novelist made one of his cbaracters say that a lot of pretty girls, who sang pretty music, stunning primo donna, three good comedians. gorgeous costumes. and beautiful scenery were the component parts of a satisfying mod ern theatrical attraction. The authors character should have seen the Red Feather" as 1t was played last night at the Montgomery Theater to a packed house of appreciative Mo..tgomerians.
 He would have gone into ecstacies and worn out his hands clapping, for the Red Feather" had everything he asked for and more. too.

Wheeling, W. Va. March A-The sharp decline in the temperature undoubtedly caused the maximum stage of water here to be somewhat less than it would otherwise have been. At 6 o'clock the thirty foot mark was reached and after remaining stationary for several hours the water began to gradually recede. Nearly all of Benwood and sections of Beilaire, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry are under water and there is considerable suffering on account of the flood. Many factories are flooded.

 to Strengthen PartG.
 Washington, March 1.-The Bar tonight says: Senator Fairbanks wiz not resist a movement to make him the Vice-Fresi- dential nominee of the Republican party.
 If the convention nominates him no will accept. More than that, he will not attempt to discourage efforts looking to his nomination. It is only fair to say that no explicit declaration by Senator Fairbanks to that effect has been made. The Indiana delega tion in Congress was convinced today that Senator Fairbanks had yielded to the solicitation of men high in the councils outside of Indiana to take seccnd place on the national ticket.
 Almost without exception his closest political friends in Indiana have advised him, in his own interest against accept ing the Vice Presidency. Influential Re- publicans in the Senate, such men as Spooner Allison and Platt have urged him to take it, on the ground that he would strengthen the Republican ticket especially In financial circles and that hia lrst duty was to his party rather than to his own political future.

 Huntsville, March 4-(Special )-It Is be- lieved in Huntsville that the settleme eIlG of tho lawsuit between Col. M. A. Clay and Capt James P. williams, which wal allow the sale of the uncompleted Cur ley and Paint Rock Valley Railroad, will hasten the result in the completion of that railroad within year or two as originally projected. During the past few years litigation has so tangled the affairs of the road that numerous offers from capitalists in the North and West who desired to construct and operate the line could not be accepted. Now with all difficulties of this kind removed 1t is believed that the construction of the road is only a matter of time. The Gurley and Paint Rock Valley, as projected, runs from 'Gurley on the South ern Railroad, to Winchester, TeTin., on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad, traversing one of the richest mineral and timber sections of the South. The promoters of the Huntsville Base ball Association are pushing the sale If stock in the association and hope to dla- pose of the entire amount offered for sale within the next few days so that officers may be elected and a meeting with the representatives of other towns may re held for the organization of the proposed Tri-State League.

know the whereabouts of the younger
brother Fitzroy, who was SO many years
regarded as the murderer. This gentle
man sent me here to clear his name from
this foul calumny. To-day 1 see it un-
stained, and as he is now the baronet,
and a great invalid, go to bring him
back in triumph to his home. Poor gen.
tleman! his days are numbered; but with
care and attention / feel that he can
reach the home of his boyhood in safe
ty; but there must be no delay. A vessel
leaves Liverpool tomorrow, and in it L
must take passage, if possible, in order,
as a medical man, to look after his health
in this, to him, eventful voyage"

to him the most blessed news the poor
man could hear in this world. Ethel
let me call you Ethel this once-I, too,
know what it Is to take solemn VOW,
for took one at the bedside of Mr..
Rappelye, the name assumed by my en-
ployer, to this effect: I would dedicate
myself to this cause, and in order to do
this, l would allow nothing to interfere
with this, my work. Even at the outset
l had a temptation to swerve from this
promise set before me. 1t was on the
ocean when l saw a sweet, young girl
alone, with a great sorrow and anxiety.
Oh! how longed to take this young trav-
eler into my arms and bid her rest in my
care, my love. Now 1 am free to yield to
that blessed feeling. and 1 thus joyfully
avow it, and ask if it meets return.
Speak to me, dearest" he added, as he
passed his arm around her slight form
and drew her tenderly towards him; sis
this dear girl to be my darling-my own
sweet wife?'
For one moment the bowed head rested
on his shoulder, then as he met no resist
ance 1t was raised, and kiss after kiss
was pressed upon the ripe, red lips that
murmured softly:
"Yes; your darling; yours forever and
ever"
