Montgomery Theatres
 Thursday evening, Mir. Hanford and company in "Don Caesar de Baxan."


 When we have seen two more good attractions at the Montgomery The atre, one this week and the other next week, the season will be closed until the autumn.
 The coming of Charles B. Honford and his company to the Montgomery Theatre Thursday evening is of great interest because MT Hanford has many admirers in Montgomery. He will present Don Caesar de Bazan" here and 1t has been pronounced one of his greatest successes.
 MT. Hanford was last seen here as Petruchio in which he more than sat- isfied his patrons. He Is one of the most careful actors of the modern school in his productions of the clas- sics. It is claimed that his company this year is better than ever before and superior production of Don Caesar may be expected.
 The theatre will be closed next week by petit Miss Mary Marble with a large production of Nancy Brown" the musical comedy which was pro- duced here nearly two years ago by Miss Marie Cahill. Miss Marble will be remembered for her excellent fun making in Babes in Toyland." She will sing that charming song Fish ing" with which Miss Dorothy Morton delighted theatreg goers when she was seen here in "Glittering Gloria"
 'Don Caesar De Bazan."
 Don Caesar Dc Bazan' holds a prominent place among the plays to be presented by Charles B. Hanford during the present season.
 This brilliant comedy has ever been popular with the American theatre goer. In Don Caesar we meet the generous sanguinary, reckless and au- dacious character which steadily finds favor with all who love laughter and can sympathize with bold and comic audacity. Those who have seen MT. Hanford's Petruchio in The Tanning of the Shrew," can well imagine the skill with which he will present the airy fancy, sparkling humor, and exquisite grace of this charming and irresisti- ble character.
 Miss Marie Drofnah will be seen in. the role of Mariana, the songstress of the street, whose grace and beauty attract the attentions of the King and whose charms ars utilized by Don Jose, his Prime Minister, to further his own ambition, which she, by her true womanhood and the assistance of the Queen, defeats. Through her pure love, Don Caesar Is led to throw off the 2dVenIurer ana liN6 WOTlHy oL HIS name. Miss Drofnah's previous good work Is a guarantee for her success in this difficult role.
 The company, including MT. Frank Hennig. MT. Ferd. flight. MT. Edward D'Oize, MT. Henry MaoRade, Miss Bes- sic Hunter Flight, Miss Margaret Os- wald and others have been engaged with care to their especial fitness for the parts assigned. The magnificent scenic equipment with the special elec- trical effects and the elaborate cos- tuning makes this production one of the most notable of Mir. Hanford's ca- reer.
 MT. Hanford will present this bril- liant comedy at the Montgomery The atre next Thursday night.

Return from FIorldn.

J. N. Barker and wife are back from Florida, where they have been spend ing the winter. MT. Barker spent most of his time at Arcadia, about 100 miles below Tampa. He says he saw good corn grown on comparatively poor land. by the liberal use of phos- phate, with which that country abounds. He says that the hogs and cattle raised in Florida will compare most favorably with stock raised here in Alabama. Altogether he is greatly pleased with Florida, and thinks that 1t has a great future before it.

Echo of "Romeo and JuIiet.v

One turns again with feelings of pleasure to that splendid production of Romeo and Juliet" at the theatre Friday evening and with the recollec- tion comes the thought that 1t s sim ply impossible for a newspaper writer at late hour of the night and with presses standing waiting upon him to do simple justice to a company of &C., tors of such extraordinary merit and 8 stage production so satisfying as to be well nigh perfect.
 It Is doubtful If Montgomery thea tre-goers ever before or for that mat ter will ever see again such a life- like, such an exquisite portrayal of Juliet as was shown by Miss Mar lowe. She convinced her audience that she ranks well to the front of Ameri- can actresses as, although a native of England, she claims America ss her home. her parents residing in Cincin- natl.

Mrs. VIM. Cotter and Miss Maggie
Reordan of Bloomington, Illinois,
are in the city visiting relatives, the
former being an aunt and the latter "a
cousin of j. Il. Morrissey. Mrs.
Cotter is a lady of distinction in one
respect probably above all other
ladies Of the country, namely in being
the mother of four sons who are emf
nent in the railway service. William,
the elder Of the boys is general
manager of the Pere Marquette Rail
way in Michigan; S. b. the second
son is the general superintendent of
the Wabash System; John is division
superintendent of road from Wash
ington ID. G. to Southern Illinois; and
George who is not yet thirty years of
age is general uperintendent OF the
Texas and Southern for the state Of
Texas. The father of these gentlemen
was for many years section foreman
at Bloomington and repeatedly refus-
ed promotion, preferring as he said
to remain there and keep his boys in
school so that all OF them might some
day be promoted. AS may be seen
by the position occupied by the father,
these boys did not have any pull"
to help them along, but had to depend
upon their own ability and effort to
secure and hold the important posi-
tions they have today. Their success
must be very gratifying to their
friends and especially to the mother.

thrown out last year. 1t spread out
in all directions and measured seventy
feet from one end to The other, and it

About four years ago some friends
at Des Moines spent a few weeks of
summer at Storm Lake. When they
returned home they spoke of the peo-
pie whom they had met and among
them was one Banker Brown. They
referred to his beautiful home, his
fine team and carriage, and the ele-
gance and comfort in which his family
lived. Now after a long tcial, Mr..
Brown has been sentenced to Anamosa
for five years at hard labor having
been convicted on thirty counts. And
from reports he probably should have
had five times five years. High liv-
ing leads to many excuses that hon
