"The Fortune IalIer.n

Grace Orr Meyers and an enlarged, company opened a weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre last night before an audience that received the opera warm ly and was liberal with it's applause. "The Fortune Teller was recently presented to Birmingham theatregoers by substan- italy the same organization and it proved to be somewhat of disappoint- ment The company lacked numerical strength and there was no vivacity among it's members. These defec+e have been remedied by the management. The m- proved organization has a large chorus of girls who sing well and have more or less pulchritude. The company has also been more carefully trained and there was last night plenty of sparkle in all three acts of the opera, certainly one of the most tuneful that theatregoers nave ever had the opportunity of hear ing.
 The performers last night seemed to appreciate the cordiality of their well come and responded to the good humor of the audience by sinoing every number i1 capital style. The singing ability of Miss Meyers and her company Is not to be denied.

"A Madcap Princess. i"

One of the comic opera events of the season will be the engagement next Fri day evening at the Jefferson, of the Sophie Brandt Opera company in "A Madcap Princess" The musical critics are giving this production great praise. for example the Charleston 4sews and Courier of November 2S says:
 "A Madcap Princess was presented before a well pleased audience at the Academy of Music last night. Miss Sophie Brandt, in the leading role, was a stranger to Charleston. but soon capti- vated the majority of those in the au- dience and did not have much trouble winning their plaudits after her first song. She is very pretty, graceful and has a voice of great range and rare sweet ness.
 Supporting Miss Brandt are number of clever people. The company is strong

Wilton Lackaye.

Wilton Lackage will appear at the Jeff ferson theatre next Thursday night in the dramatised version of Frank Norris Ia nous moved, "The Pit" There is a kind of Homeric largeness in the play of pas- sions moving the characters transferred to the stage from the pages Of MOTHS masterpiece. There is something frankly earthly and elemental in them which gives them the pathos of tormented Titans. It is as if wheat sprang out of the hearts of men in the conceptions of young poet who writes it's Had and who shows how it overwhelms their lives and generates anew from their deaths.
 Seats are now on sale.

Steinhoff, by officers of the Panther was referred to, although the ambassador had absolutely no communication from his own government on the subject.
 It was stated at the embassy that all though under the circumstances no opin- ion could be expressed on the case. 1t was felt that in view of the highly cordial relations which exists between the gov ernments of Germany and Brazil the mat ter will be settled peacaby within a very short time. Although the deserters of the German army have given considerable amount of trouble to several countries, and their status for many years was Il point of dispute between the United States and Germany, there are no cases in in- ternational law bearing upon just such a question as this, all countries having been most careful to prevent such an en- tanglement.

persons who hoped that Uncle Sam s
ships might come that way about the
time that they needed coal real bad, y
said an old naval official 1.-The old
Vanderbilt in 1862 had an experience
OF that sort. She was looking for the
Alabama like a good many more of tae
Federal ships, and she came to st.
Helena just about the time that ST q
was out of coal. The officers were de.
lighted to see a red headed Scotchman
sitting on coal pile on the dock, and
they at once opened up negotiations
with him. He demanded $50 ton in
gold, and at the rate of exchange was
then 81. 85 this made the price $50
ton of Uncle Sans money.
1.-The officers protested and refused
to take the coal. They put to sea, hop.
ing to reach another port before their
Stock gave out, but after run of a few
hours the weather began to get nasty.
