PICKET SPRINGS CASINO.
Probably 200 People Were Turne,
 Away Last NiRAt

| Probably 200 People Were Turned | Away Last NlkAt. | They stood people up three and four
 rows deep at the Pickett Springs Casino
 last night. Young men climbed to the
 top of the picketing of the pretty little | theatre and sat there throughout the
 evening for there was DO standing room
 left on the floor. And Manager Neal
 stood at the door and regretfully turn
 ed away some two hundred people who
 came late and for whom there was
 neither seat nor standing room. And all
 this on A cold threatening and cloudy night
 The Olympia Opera Company is an excellent organization and 1t has met with popular favor in others cities than
 Montgomery, but it is doubtful if in It's
 history has received the compliment
 that was paid 1t last night. Certainly so other summer theatrical organization
 has enjoyed in Montgomery so high a degree of public esteem. The Casino
 never before had such a night as last night and the local public never went out of its way to voice its approval of A summer organization as 1t did last night.
 swelled the throng to Pickett Springs went out to see Miss Lottie Kendall, the new leading lady who made her first Montgomery appearance with the company. Miss Kendall won her way into immediate favor. In her initial performance she established herself as prime Montgomery favorite. The yer iict of approval was passed upon her before she had been upon the stage ten minutes. Before The Telephone Girl' was over she had won her permanent place and was the subject of the au- diences praise.
 In this the audience showed discrimi- nation, for a more magnetic little ac- tress could hardly be found. Miss Ken dal began with the distinct advantage of beauty. It is a great thing for an actress to be beautiful and to be able at the same time Q act and sing, but the dark-eyed ia orite of last night was all this and more, too. She had that indehnable, but indispensable, characteristic for stage success, which for want of a better name is called maRnetism, that spirit and dash which the French tried to express in their term of chic. Moreover, her work is characterized by so much of gentleness and so much of refinement that her womanliness is quite in keeping with her good looks.
 greatest success of the company during it's Montgomery engagement. The other plays lead up to it like the first two acts of a finely constructed drama lead up to a well regulated climax in the third act. The success scored in this musical comedy is due perhaps to the fine chance that Miss Kendall had as Estelle. and to the fact that the ri- diculous Hans Nix, is one of the favor

There are two ways to remove eonsti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a heaithful influence behind 1t. Prickiy Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just ss thoroughly as the harsher cathartics. and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nentiy cure the habit.

WILL BE M'NEAL.
Little Doubt of His Election as State
Printer.

It seems almost a foregone conclus-
ion that the legislative caucus Monday
night viii nominate T. A. McNeal for
state printer.
If this is done, the indications are
that J. E. Junkin will get the position
of private secretary 10 Governor Fl och.
Mr.. Junkin and Mr.. McNeal had a
long conference this morning. The re-
suit of the conference is not known,
but it can be stated On g0Sd aut1roity
that Mr.. McNeal is still an active can
didate for the place.
There has been some talk today that
the house and senate, to make things
absolutely safe, take up and repass the
state printer bill when they reconvene
on Monday afternoon. Both Mt. Nc
Neal and Mr.. Junkin say that this will
not be done. They say that everything
factory, and that the oaly thing which
remains to be done is to send the bill
back to the senate. get it signed by the
governor, and printed in the official
paper.
Arrangements will in all probability
be made to purchase from State Printer
Clark the printing plant now used by
the state. Some of the members of the
legislature state that such a. deal is
already in process of contamination,
and that there will be no fight made by
Clark to retain possession of the office.
Today there is a great scarcity of
lawmakers about the state house. The
Copeland, too, is almost deserted. Beck
mersley of Ness, Meade of Rice and a
few others stick to their desks irdus-
triously, but there is nothing doing of
any Importance.

TILLMAN SPEAKS up.
Senator Opposes Discrimination
Against ''Grass Widows

washington, Jan. 14.=At today's
session of the senate Mr.. Dubois in
troduced an amendment to the joint
statehood bill prohibiting the practice
or encouragement of polygamy in the
proposed states of Oklahoma and Ari-
iona. The provision is in the Ian
guage of the Idaho test oath.
The senate began consideration of
the bill regulating the restoration to
citizenship of American women who
have married foreigners.
Mr.. Nelson said that the bill was
intended to apply to women of this
country who married abroad and who
were divorced or whose husbands
may have died.
Mr. Depew said that it was not the
intention of the bill to confine it to
widows and divorces, but to all women
who have foreign husbands. The wo-
men suffragists and the ladies of the
American league, he said, took excep-
ton to the fact that women lost their
citizenship by marrying foreigner,
while men did not.
Mr.. Lodge suggested an amendment
combining the operation of the will to
widows and lawfully divorced women.
Mr.. Tillman protested against the
amendment as discriminating against
grass widows"
Mr.. Depew defended international
marriages as natural and due to the
good old fashioned American reasons
he added. that the title generally
chases the girl and not the girl the
title"
The amendment was accepted.
Mr.. Hepburn suggested and Mr.. Nc
Cumber offered an amendment requir-
ing women taking advantage OF the
provisions of the proposed law to re-
nounce all titles of nobility which they
may have acquired and 1t was agreed
At the suggestion of Mr.. Spooner the
bill went over for a day.
A bill making it a felony to counter
felt the great seal of the United States
was passed.
The following bills were also passed:
Authorizing the sale of obsolete arms
to Grand Army posts; provIding thal
in the retirement of petty Officers and
enlisted men of the navy the enC1re ser
vice of the men shall be taken into ac-
cOant, removing the time limitation on
payment of bounties to ex-soldiers;
providing for the protection OF game IN
the Wichita forest reserve.
When at 2 o'clock Mr. Beveridge
made another effort to get time fixed
for the taking of a vote on the joint
statehood bill, Mr.. Bate said that the
opponents of the bill are not yet pre-
pared to fix a day and could not say
when they would be. He added that
there are several speeches still to be
made and when those were delivered
the opposition would be liberal.
Adjourned.
In the House.
Washington. Jan. 14.-When the
house met today Mr.. Gillett MASS
called up the resolution of inquiry rel
alive to political activity on the part
of letter carriers introduced by Mr..
Hearst. He asked that the house agree
to the resolution, explaining that II
called upon the president and post
master general for information. The
resolution was agreed to.
On motion of Mr.. Sulloway the
house took up the consideration OF
private pension bills, that being the
regular order of the day.
