David Higgins in His Last Dollar will begin a weeks engagement at the 'Bijou theatre tonight. This play has been seen here before and is considered one of the best ever presented at the ,Bijou.

"cousin Kate"

At the very start of Cousin Kate" which will be seen at the Jefferson the atre this afternoon and tonight, with Roselle Knott as the star, the playwright creates an original and amusing situation by making his heroine fall in love with the fiance of her coursin. The queer mix up is not realised by any of the three until the close of the second act, and meanwhile there is a delicious series of misunderstanding whose piquancy is en- joyed by every listener. How Kate sacri- fees everything for her cousin, and yet in the end wins the handsome young artist for herself is told In the remaining two acts. The success of this comedy has been pronounced Manager Frank L. Perley will present Roselle Knott and the origi- nal production

MERGER SCHEME IS NOW
 CLOSE TO STEEL TRUST

The New York Herald of Saturday says:
 Activity in Tennessee Coal and Iron and the Sloss-sheffield shares brought forth the rumor that a combination
 between the two principal southern coal and iron properties was OH the tapis again. Ii is understood that ne- gotiations are under way, but the price of the properties is still a debatable point. That the consolidation will come about in time seems to be a general belief. On this account the periodic revival of southern iron consolidation stories will frequently be used as a market factor. In the activ- ity Republic Iron and Steel preferred par ticipated, but there seemed to be a fairly large supply of this stock for sale. Nothing official was volunteered concerning the

Sometime ago the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company planned line of progress, and it is pursuing that line with great success.
 One of the first and the latest inven- tions that it. has brought to Birmingham is the 2oOo pound capacity electric auto which will be used for an emergency wagon for a while and maybe for in stalling gas, water and electric meters.
 The machine arrived Friday and was unpaeked Saturday. and is now at the emergency station on First avenue and Sixteenth street. It will probably be equipped with all the latest emergency apparatus and used to answer calls in the place of the wagon now in use.
 This is the first machine of this kind used in the south for a similar purpose,

and there are only few of them in America. It is made by Hartford con- cern and has speed of twelve miles an hour. and about 20-horse power batteries.
 If this experiment proves successful the company will purchase more of the ma chimes and each department which needs one will be supplied with one. The emer- geney wagon responds to all fire alarms and carries surface tracks, tools for cut ting electric wires which might result in injury to fremen, and the men on the wagon remove meters and other property of the company which might be damaged.
 In case of accidents of any kind in the city. falling wires and injuries the emer- gency wagon is also used. No other city in the south has similar equipment to that of the Birmingham company for such pur- poses.

progress or present status of the merger negotiations"
 It seems to be pretty generally agreed among New York finaneiers that the Blr- mingham merger proposition is now in the hands of Daniel s. Reed, the Moore Bro- thers and w. G. Leeds This is known to be a powerful combination It is more or less in control of the Rock Island Frls- co system. and also more or less allied to the United States Steel Corporation. It Is believed that the powerful interests in the lead will have the hearty cooperation of the Hanover National bank people of New York
 A New York finaneier gives it as his opinion that the presidency of the merger will be offered to George B. Mccormack.
