''The Marriage of Kitty.o

The Marriage of Kitty" the de- lightful and dainty comedy adopted by Cosmos Gordon Lennox for his wife, Marie Tempest. and produced at the Montgomery Theatre yesterday after noon at matinee and again last night demonstrates that 1t does not require a stage full of boisterous people to en- certain cultured audiences.
 There are but seven parts in the comedy and it naturally follows that the seven parts must be assigned to artists. If this were not so producers of plays would seize on those pieces that call for few persons. It is just possible. however, that the seven per sons presenting The Marriage of Kitty" cost Jules Murry. the owner of the entertainment, about as much money as some companies of four times as many persons.
 One who enjoys clean, wholesome comedy produced without the aid of slap-sticks or the breaking of crockery will remember The Marriage of Kit ty" as a dramatic treat.
 Bettina Gerard and Max Figman were the co-stars and they were supported by an excellent company.
 As has been said, only seven people are in the cast of this bright little comedy. In almost every company, one may pick A weak spot. but there is no weak spots in the company that pre- sented The Marriage of Kitty" at the Montgomery Theatre.
 Miss Gerard. the charming Betty Gerard of other days was known here as an actress of versatility and great ability. The pretty face and fine figure which enhanced her stage pres enca in other work hava nOt diuin- ished with the years. Her thorough acting makes her an n'ideal Kitty. Her presentation was highly finished. The action in The Marriage of Kitty" Is natural and throughout the many humorous complications the dialogue is bright and the situations are disclosed naturally.
 Max Figman. one of the best known light comedians in the country is well cast as Sir Reginald Belsize. His face. his voice, his gestures proclaim him the studious, painstaking actor. He expressed in most laughabie and forcibzle style the lines written for the part.
 The story unfo1ds by The Marriage of Kitty" Is this: Sir Reginald Belsize, under the pRovisions of his fathers will loses an income of $100.000 a year if he Is married within a certain date and also if he marries a Peruvian widow, Madame de Samlano with whom he is in love. A frind of Belsixe, who hap pens to be Kittys guardian, makes the matter of the love affair and its threatening consequences seem simple to the loving pair by suggesting that he (Belsize) marry Kitty temporarily. then get divorce. This would of

PEABODY NORMAL FUND
TT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED IN ALA
 BAMA AS HERETOFORE.
Head of State Educational Department is Happy over Result of Action
 of Board in New York.

State Superintendent of Education I. w. Hill rejoiced yesterday when in formed of the $7,500 which the Alabama normal schools received as their frac- ton of the Peabody educational fund which was distributed this week in New York.
 The figures which sounded custom ary to laymen speak a victory for the educational forces of this State that was hard won.
 As long as a year ago Superintend- ent Hill and some of his associates In Georgia, Mississippi and Florida learn ed that an effort would be made at the New York meeting of the Peabody board to divert the scholarship fund ap- portioned to Alabama annually. It was soon discerned that the movement was aimed to deprive not only this State but Georgia, Florida. Mississippi and Louisiana of the scholarship distribu- ton heretofore unopposed.
 Superintendent Hill and the other State Superintendents thought 1t was time to fight the movement. They did fight 1t and the recent figures given out s1gnalize this victory.
 The opponents of the scholarships in the normal schools of the States, of which Alabama received fifteen last year, planned to concentrate them in the Peabody Normal Institute at Nash vile.
 T immediately failed to see the wis dom of such a move" said Supcrin- tendent Hill yesterday. Any student of economy in Alabama knows that If the scholarships to the State normal schools were given to the Peabody Nor nal at Nashville we could not carry on the education that should be given at the rural schools of the State.
 After the benefciaries graduated from Nashville 1t would be very doubt full If I could induce them to come to Alabama and join the ranks of ruraP school teachers. But being educated in our normal colleges here they are adapted especially to rural work in this State and almost invariably go to teaching in Alabama because they are needed here"
 The Superintendent expects to get an official report from the Peabody Board or a letter confirming the contribu- tions.

 Roman Company. STAMPEDE OF HORSES 0. E. Marin Knocked Down and Painfully Injured. Alabama Stables Threatened by Fire and Animals Were Turned Into

Fire of unknown origin, which is be- lieved to have started as early as 2 o'clock last evening in a rear section of the warehouse of the Roman Cotton Company, corner of Coosa and Talla" poosa Streets. burst into great fury about 1o:so o'clock last night, destroy ing and badly damaging about 1000 bales of cotton.
 Employes of the Alabama stables, adjoining the warehouse, in rushing out mules and horses to prevent their suffocation caused a stampede of the animals in several directions from the front of the stables on Bibb Street. one horse knocking down O. B. Marin, a well-known gun and locksmith of Montgomery. and trampling him under foot
 Mir. Marin was picked up unconscious near the intersection of Coosa and Tal- lapoosa Streets. He was temporarily borne to the porch of a residence near by and thence later to St. Margaret's Hospital. Inquiries at the hospital at a late hour last night brought out the information that MT. Marin was suf- fering only from a confusion on the right side of the head. He will re- cover.

 Kitty is therefore married to Sir Belize | after being fixed up to appear slow enly and ugly in order to appease his fiance's jealousy and during the mar riage ceremony he scarcely notices her. He and his fiance go travelling over the continent. while Kitty is housed in a pretty villa in Italy Madame de sam iano has to be treasured that the mar rlage Is simply a ceremony performed for the purpose of placing Sir Re9inaIS in possession of his uncle's property ana is-to be followed by a divorce at the earliest possible moment that legal iormalities will permit. When Sir Reg maid returns to Italy after a tedious trip with his promised bride and to the villa of Kitty where he goes to begin preparations for divorce. he meets the real Kitty whom he had not formerly known. Her infinite charms or face, figure and voice prove too much for him and he falls madIv In love with the exquisite creature ot temininity, so different from his rather peevlsh fiance. Madame de SamIano 1oilows him shortly and on her arrival the battle Of the two woman minds begins and the fun is fast and furious
 Pretty. vivacious Miss Gerard made Kitty and irresistible object and as ST Reginald unwillinsly falls deeper lEto her net of intrigue. the Jealousy Of his fiance increases and makes tbs dialogue and startling situations more ludicrous.

COLONEL HAWKINS IN KENTUCKY.
Alabamian Delivered an Address at
 Reunion o3 Orphans, Brigade.


 Reunion of Orphans' Brigade.
 Colonel Hiram Hawkins, a confeder- ate soldier, was in Montgomery yes terday en route to his home in Flaw klnsville, from Frankfort, Ky, where ne had been to attend the Orphans Brigade Reunion, the assemblage of survivors of a Confederate brigade which served in the war between the States
 Colonel Hawkins delivered an ad- dress at the reunion accepting in be- half of the brigade a monument to the memory of the late Captain Ed Porter Thompson.
 The Kentucky Journal of Frankfort quotes his speech in part as follows:
 General Hewitt, on behalf of the renowned command. the Orphan Bri- gade, kept famous by the literary la bors of the good man whose memory we meet on this sacred ground to hon. or l accept the charge you have deliv- cred. I knew and loved as my com rades did our honored historian. As A lieutenant he led his men till shot down on the battlefield at Shiloh; again he was seriously wounded at Vicksburg and permanently disabled with bullets at the battle of Murfrees- boro, yet on (lutches he continued to serve his country. For months in his

crippled condition he performed as a captain full duty faithfully and cap ably. When peace came he was still the untiring worker for the Orphan Brigade. For weeks and months he labored untiringly, gatehring material for a history of the brigade. And it Is the greatest monument ever made to any body of men. His life was a life of self-sacrihce. modest and most meri- torious beyond any man I ever met. It has been said that an honest man is the noblest work of God. Such a man in its truest, noblest sense was Captain Ed Porter Thompson. Comrades, we shall preserve his memory and our children's children shall carry 1t down to the centuries bright when wonder granite shall have crum- bled into dust"
 Colonel Hawkins left for his home last night.

ton Company was cut down to about SS0.000. Oficials of the company es- timated last night that 1000 bales of cotton were in the compartment affect ed by the flames and water. The loss Is practically covered by insurance.
 The alarm was turned in at the height of enjoyment by an immense crowd of the last night of the Street Fair. The fire being in the heart of the business section of the city and two blocks from Dexter Avenue. where great throngs filled the street. drew probably 5000 people to the scene. That no more than the accident to Mir. Marin resulted from the fierce charge of the horses through the streams of spectators is remarkable.
 MT. Marin, whose shop is on North Court Street, between Court Square and Monroe Street. ran to the northwest corner of Tallapoosa and Coosa Streets to witness the fire He was there felled to the pavement by loose horse.
 The excellent fight organized by Fire Chief Browder against the progress of the flames beyond the brick walls en- closing the burning roof of the ware house and the smouldering cotton bales saved the Alabama Stables. A hose detachment of firemer. by persist

 Fire SmOuIdered i'm Cotton.
 Members of the family of Policeman Carrigan as early as o'clock or a few minutes before smelled a suspi- cious odor as of burning rags. They searched the house thoroughly, but found no cause for the unusual smell. The burning substance was scented until few minutes before the out break of the fire. It Is believed, from this experience. that the origin Of the flames was either incendiary or spon- combustion.
 A regular night watchman was in the employ of the cotton company but he Is said to know nothing pertinent be- fore the alarm was given.
 By clever ruse. Police Captain W. Fl. Taylor, aided by a half dozen citi- zens, seeing that the crowd rushing down Court Street might swell to dam gerous dimensions. yelled to the mass of people near them to follow, way. Ing their hands in the direction of Street. Thousands swept behind them, all continuing for several blocks before the real direction of the Ire was discovered. By this time the arst crowds arriving at the fire had been scattered and the firemen were given elbow room for their work.
 Ofiicals of the cotton company an- nounced at midnight that the company would suffer no business inconveni- ence from the fire.
 An insurance agent said that the damaged cotton was insured for $5O,- poo.
