"Mason and Mason"

If everything goes well on Friday night when Mason & Mason offer their new musical farce, Fritz and Snitz," at the Jefferson, then these well known comedi- ans will have scored another great suc- cess, for in this play they have the oppor- tunities of their career. First, because the book is to their liking, is full of fun and merriment; second. because the li- bretto and inserted lyrics are tune ful and refined and third, because their managers, Messrs. Broadhurst & Curyie, have given them stage surroundings that are second to none. They will have a cast of forty clever farceurs in their support, most of them pretty girls.

T. w. Cox of this city telegraphed Mayor w. M, Drennen yesterday from Buffalo that Birmingham stood an excel lent chance to get the next biennial con- yention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, which is meeting in Buffalo.
 As Is well known MT. Cox and Harry Huddleston, representing the two local unions are making an effort to get the 1906 convention held In Birmingham The city of Birmingham has appropriated $100 for the committee to use in getting the and the Commercial club commmittee raised about $2O0 for similar use This money Is to be used judlcicusly, and the representatives from Birmingham believe that they can get the convention.
 The convention is a big affair and spends thousands of dollars in the city where 1t meets. The members are allowed liberal expense accounts, besides receiv- ing good pay while in attendance on the convention. and nearly all of them bring their families with them. The convention lasts several days and brings a represen- tative crowd of men together
 It is expected that the next meeting place will be decided in few days, and that Birmingham will receive the most votes. A regular Birmingham headquar- ters has been established and everything possible is being done to get the conven- tion.

Seven cases of smallpox de.
veloped in this city during the past
week. Some Of the patients were
about town up to within a short
time before ,hey were quarantined
and it is quite probable that a
number Of persons have been ex-
posed to the contagion. Every
precaution is being taken by the
county and city health officers to
prevent the spread of the disease,
and it is hoped they will be sue
cessful in confining the mzady to
the few persons now afflicted. In
order to be on the safe side it
would be a wise idea to close the
schools and forbid all public
gatherings until the extent of the
contagion is definitely determined,
and before it reaches the proper
tions Of an epidemic. The period
Of development is about twelve
days, in which fever, headache.
backache and restlessness and anx-
iety are prominent symptoms.
