WILL PUSH WORK
 WITH GREAT YIGOR
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY WILL NOT SUFFER FROM REGENT DEvEL- DEMENT'S AND WILL HAVE ABUNDANT FINANCES.

Washington, November 1.-The board of trustees of the Catholic university, which has been netting here for two days. adjourned today until the second Wednesday before Easter. In all, four sessions were held, during which the principal topic of discussion was the finances of the institution. There was also informal consideration of the letter of the Marquise des Monsters -Merinville, founder of the university. In which she made public her renunciation of the Cath olio religion. At the university tonight, at the conclusion of the afternoon ses- sion, it was announced that in spite of the waggaman failure, by which the university will lose at least a part of the Ss76000 which had been invested through him, the work of the institution would go on with greater visor than be- fore.
 It was positively stated that no action was taken by the trustees regarding the Marquise des Monsters -Merinville's let ter. Neither that nor the Waggaman failure, it was said, would stop the plans for the upbuilding of the university, and 1t was intimated that offers of financial assistance from Catholics throughout the country had been made. For the pres ent the finances of the institution will be managed by the committee appointed last year.

VISITOR MAKES A
 VERY HAPPY TALK
GENERAL INDUSTRIAL AGENT OF
 sEABoARD SPEAKS OF coNvER- sATION HE HAD WITH PRESI- DENT BARR THREE YEARS AGO

The trip "around the horn' rendered yesterday was a signal success and the short speeches made on board the train were happy and just to the point
 The last speaker was J. W. White, general industrial agent of the Seaboard, with headquarters at Portsmouth, Va. He was called on to say something about the Seaboard's entrance into Birming ham. MT. White spoke in part as fol- lows:
 "Mr. Jackson, president of your Com mercial club has said that your resources and possibilities were scarcely known beyond the limits of southern territory and that the country needed only to be exploited to be fully developed. I want to contradict, in a slight degree, that statement about your possibilities not being known.
 Just three years ago I was on a train moving between Petersburg, Va, and Norfolk, Va, and seated beside me was a railroad official who was identified just few months previous with a large western road He knew little of your possibilities at that time and taking a map from his pocket said, MT. White, what would the extension of the Sea- DOdiu lO lHiS punt 4AAo AAA6CA was pointing to Birmingham.
 T replied It means a tonnage that can scarcely be estimated and the most valuable territory that you can possibly penetrate' He stateu that his intention was to investigate thoroughly. He did SO. And to Mir. Barr, now president of the Seaboard can be given the credit for the extension of the road to Birming- ham. While this movement of the Sea- board is appreciated, no doubt by your community and district Mir. Barr rec ognizes and justly appreciates It's value to his line.
 "The industrial man appreciates a solid basis upon which to work. He recog- nizes such conditions existing in the Bir- mingham district today and predicts that development. while large, is but yet in It's infancy.
 Major Anderson, after reciting Bir- minghams growth, asked some one to calculate the percentage of increase which would be reached within the next few years. In my town there was a merchant conducting toy store, who had little education; and on being asked what percentage he made, rephed I know nothing of per cent, but l buy dolls at $3 a dozen and sell them at sS piece, and I don't think I lose much In my opinion the same ratio of percentage used by the merchant can be safely used to estimate the Birmingham district"
 Mir White concluded his remarks by rendering his thanks to the Alabama Great Southern to Maj. F. Y. Anderson, the newspapers. and the Commercial club for their courtesies and expressed a desire that his association would not only come to Birmingham again soon but often.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Ghosts."

When one first sees Ghosts" Ibsen's great problem play. he Is overwhelmed by its somore tragedy it's atmosphere of insufferable gloom and It's retributive calamity. The play is almost appalling. By well defined degrees the story rises slowly but surely to the awful climax of the third act when the whole fabric crashes down In a shattered ruin. Ghosts" is not play for holiday crowds. There is none of "the joy of life" in It's intensely tragic scenes and the sunshine for which Oswald cried out is wanting.
 When one sees Ghosts for the sec end time he is able to study the play and to appreciate the subtle art with which Ibsen has woven his plot The sins of the father shall be visited upon the son Is the theme about which the dramatist has woven his story. The char acters are those who best can typify the tragedy of life, the woes that wither the heart and shroud the soul in dark fess. It requires talented company to
 interpret the roles in Ghosts" and no fault could be found with the players who supported Claus Bogel at the lief ferson theatre last night. The five roles were in capable hands and the result was a performance that was flawless.
 MT. Bogel was seen here last year as Oswald. He is a young actor of marked ability, and has a wonderful conception of his difficult role. From the time he appears on the stage, his nerveless hands clasped around his artists cap, his countenance distraught an6 his eyes evasve he Is a remarkably vivid pie ture of the youth upon whom the sins of a absolute father have descended As the play progresses Mir Bogel ap- breaches the climax with consummate art. He has studied every move, every gesture every expression of countenance and tone of voice so carefully that one can scarcely refrain from shuddering at the realism of his acting. Miss Ade- laide Fitz Allen was also natural and impressive as Mrs Alving, the mother of Oswald. Her motherly affection. the growing terror of the ghosts of the past that haunted her and her dispair when she discovers that her son has been worm eaten from birth are all graph ically portrayed. Her interpretation of the part is convincing and at all times impressive. MT. Allen Davenport was again seen in the part of Parson Man ders for which he Is admirably suited. Miss Ada Curry. as the maid in whom there was the joy of life," and George R. Bell as Engstrand, the hypocritical carpenter, acquitted themselves well.
 Ghosts Is not pleasant picture The problems with which it deals are almost shocking in their realism but it is a great play, perhaps one of the most powerful that was ever written, and as presented by MT. Bogel and his conl- pany it Is an histrionic triumph.
 There will be a matinee this afternoon and another performance tonight.

CHEMISTS CONFER.
They Give Their Views as to
 the Efficacy or
"CARICA PAPAYA'
Which Is the Botanical Name for Paw-Paw as Prepared By
 Munyon.

In view of the interest which is shown by the professors and students of chem istry in Munyons new discovery, Paw Paw, or "Carica Papaya," as the chem ists know 1t, the following interview with Prof. Munyon, at which time he was asked how the leading chemists viewed his discovery, makes interesting reading:
 "A few days ago." said the professor, q received a letter from Prof. Willard H. Morse M. D., F. s. s. who Is a Eel low of the London Society of Science. in which he said: There is I think. no man in Great Britain or America, since the days of John Lawes, who is more astute, thorough-going and eminent as therapeutist than Robert Halford. He asks me what I think of Munyons Paw Paw copy of his answer has come to me and I want every one who is in- terested in knowing whether Paw-Paw will cure Catarrh, either nasal or gas trio, whether 1t will cure Dyspepsia, In- digestion, Nervousness or Sleeplessness, to read what Prof. Morse said to his col league in chemistry. Here 1t is in con densed form:
 ' Munyons Paw-Paw is scientific in that It properly presents to the materia medica-to the medical profession and to the sick and suffering the active prin- cipleship of the fruit of the carica papaya (Paw-Paw) in its most eligible form.
 "'It accomplishes digestion surely and perfectly. It makes the most of the food. Makes the best of the food. Assures per feet assimilation. It perfects the several fluids that have to do with digestion and makes Dyspepsia impossible.
 "It cures Catarrh through a physio- | logical action which removes all foul and unhealthy mucus of a catarrhal charac- | ter It renovates the mucous surfaces. drives out the catarrhal poison wherever | it finds Judgment, cleans house. as 1t were, and in so doing cures Catarrh or Gas tritls. and restores healthful conditions. " Munyon's Paw-Paw dispossesses from the blood all faulty acids or poisons, be- cause the blood made from the food treat | ed by Paw-Paw is a true vital f1uid
 which refuses to contain the acids. germs or poisonous taints, and as most diseases arise from impure blood 1t makes all of them impossible.'
 '"1ne marvellous success which I have met with in curing dyspepsia, catarrh, nervousness and sleeplessness with my combination of Paw-Paw and other cura- | tive agents has made the demand so enormous that I have been compelled even at this early stage of it's introduc- | ton to prepare for a future supply large enough to meet my present and future requirements. Thousands of natives in the localities where the proper variety | of the Paw-Paw grows are engaged in | gathering the fruit, and on my Florida estate I am having 10000 trees planted to further augment the supply. I know that Paw-Paw will do all that claim for it. | It will not be long before the people will know it, and benefit by the knowledge"

 Tam.

Meridian, Miss, November H.-(Special) The trial of Irving Henderson for the killing of the late Thomas Tam. began this morning at DeKalb, the seat of Kemper county. A special venire was drawn from which to select the jury for trying the case.

Witherspoon of Me- ridian, two of the ablest attorneys of the south while a formidable array of legal talent is engaged also for the prosecu- tion.
