STRUCTURE.

An adjourned meeting of the joint COM
mittee from the city council and the
board of education on new school build
ings was held yesterday morning in the
office of the mayor, when manufacturers
and agents of brick were granted a fur
Their hearing. Samples of outer wall
brick and rough material were submitted

heard. After hearing the brick men, the
committee decided to instruct the archi-

school to make two separate estimates,
one based upon the Jefferson Brick COM
pany's shale brick for facing, and tho
other upon the Slidell, La, brick.
Following the meeting of the joint COM
mittee a special session of the board of
education was held. At this meeting 1t

Amelia Bingham.

The appearance of Amelia Bingham and
her company at the Jefferson tomorrow
night will give interest and distinction to
the early days of the theatrical season.
Miss Blnghams engagements, wherever
played, are counted notable In the theatre
cal year. She is an actress who can be
relied upon to provide qualities in her
performances that command attention,
whether In the matter of plays or In the
personnel of her company.
Especial interest win be felt In the very
strong dramatic organization she will
place in evidence here. Two names,
Charles Richman and Frank Worthing
will suggest Its calibre ana strength.
Charles Richman, who starred last sea-
son in Captain Darlington" is perhaps
the best of the young leading men Of the
day, and his engagement by Miss Bing-
ham was effected, only by unusual pecun-
larry inducements Frank Worthington is
known as one of the most able actors OF
| the stage, and his strong work In The
Climbers" created a sensation when that
play was first produced. The presence in
one company of two men OF such high
professional standing Is rare indeed.
Miss Bingham's work in ''The Climbers
of that sympathetic quality that marks
her own temperament Aside from Its
artistic qualities 1t has the charms Of be-
ing the reflex of her own personality. This
engagement will no doubt give the local
season a most suspicious start.

the negro If the shooting did not cease
that he would put somebody In Jail. The
negro Trimble replied to this by saying
that he was a free man, in free coun-
try, and would shoot whenever l DIN
please" He then fired on Deputy Roe
