ALABAMA TOWNS
 TO GET GOOD SUMS
BIRMINGHAM PosToFFIcE IS AL. LOWED $25,ooo FOR EXTENSION. aEssEMER TO RECEIVE sss,ooo FOR NEW BUILDING.

washington, February 8.-(special.)- The public buildings and grounds bill which 1t has been decided to report to the House will provide appropriations for several Alabama towns. The city of Bir- minsham will get an appropriation of No,Ooo to increase the size of the public building while Bessemer gets an appro- priation of $56,OOO for new buolding.
 representative Underwood said today that the Birmingham appropriation would be used in line with the recom- mendations of the treasury official who was sent to Birmingham last year upon MT. Underwood's recommendation to in- spect the building. Since the Birmingham building was built the business of the Birmingham postoffice has increased ten Told, and 1t is absolutely necessary that additional space be provided. The new addition will be one story high and ex- tended back to the alley, which will al- low considerable additional floor space. In addition to Birmingham and Bessemer, Tuscaloosa will get $60,0O0, Florence $50,0O0 while sites will be authorized for Gads- den and Troy.
 Representative Bankhead is a member Of the public building committee, and while the bill is moderate one, the state Of A!abama fares better than most states in the distribution. The bill will pass the House the latter part of next week Its final passage, with that of the rivers and harbors bill, Is doubtful

ITEMS ARE BEING CUT DOWN

Bessemer, February S.-(Special. )-An appropriation of $55OOo will probably be made by this session of Congress with which to erect the new Bessemer post office. This morning Congressman Oscar w. Underwood telegraphed Mayor Huey that inasmuch as the postoffice commit tee was cutting down all it's items, S55,O00 was the largest amount he could obtain for the Bessemer postoffice. The Mayor. in answering Mir Underwood's message, advised him to accept the appropriation.
 The following Is the message received by Mayor Huey from Congressman Un- derwoo
 "Washington, D. C., February 8, 1905 Hon. Thomas T. Huey, Bessemer, Ala. i:
 "Postoffice committee are cutting down all items in their bill. I hey say can have $55 GOO for Bessemer, and no more. Shall I accept? 1 advise acceptance at once.
 70 ". UNDERWOOD.
 telegram sent in answer to MT. Un- derwood requested him to accept the amout offered by the postoffice commit tee.
 If the bill providing for the appropria- tions for new postoffices passes this ses- sion, work will probably be begun on the new BeSsemer posloIllGe lnls spIins,
 Already the site on Nineteenth street, between Fourth and Fifth avenues has been purchased by the government at a cost of $7500.
 As the receipts of the Bessemer office have increased very rapidly for the past few years, the erection of postoffice building in this city has become well nigh a necessity.
 While 1t was hoped to obtain an appro- priation of $75,OOO to s100,0O0 to build the new postoffice, still the opinion prevails that it is much better to take the offer made by the committee than wait several years before receiving any appropriation at all

Neuro Woman Attempted Murder.

Nancy Kendrick, one of the negro pris- oners at the city jail, who cooks for the other prisoners, was arraigned before Mayor Hudnall this morning, charged with having attempted to kill one of the male prisoners by placing glass in his food. She was bound over to the grand jury by the Mayor
 It seems that the woman had become angry with one of the prisoners and made the threat that she would fix his clock"
 This morning when the man began eat ing his meal he discovered large pieces of glass in the food. He did not taste the food, but at once notified the warden who took the negro woman in custody.

Political Gossip.

As far as the mayoralty contest is cons cerned the democratic primary, called for March 20, promises to be exceedingly quiet. It is generally conceded now that J. J. Sullivan will be unopposed Tor Mayor. The indications are, however, that there will be an interesting contest for aldermen in several of the wards.
 In the First ward the probabilities are that the fight will be full of interest. The candidates that are being mentioned Tor aldermatic honors in this ward are l. A. Lewis Oscar Randall. T. A. Moore, John S. Randle and W. S. Eidge. In the Sec ond ward, J. D. O'Gara, T. J. Bassette and Sam Erlick are suggested. In the Third wards, pr. William G. Hurd, J. M. Crook and J. A Ross are spoken of as aldermanic timber. In the Fourth ward Frank O'Rourke is being mentioned as a candidate.
 Notwithstanding that MT. Sullivan seems to be the only mayoralty candidate and the indications are that he will run a solitary race in the primary, his friends are working actively in his behalf. To- night his supporters held a meeting in the orfices of Dr. J. s. Winters, in the Bes- semer National bank building.
 The following are the members of MT. Sullivan's campaign committee:
 Joe Reed, J. D. Austin, James Lynch, c. E. Adams, F T. Scott, John Boyd, Frank Sullivan, ". E. Bearden, Henry Palmer, J. M Crook. pr. J. S. Winters. Henry Waller, George Rutledge, M T. Kennedy, E. A. Little, F. A. Adams, Sol Brick, James Cahill. O. F. Randle, l. c. Burgin, James Tritter, w. E. c. Vermil- lion, w. T. Kennedy, G. l.. Vantrump, w. K. Smith, pr. George D. Waller, Frank Porter, w. S. Eidge. William Jackson, Col l.. D. Godfrey
 In the next few days the sub-commit- tee of the city democratic executive com mittee will meet and arrange the details of a primary. A registration plan will probably be adopted and registrar ap- pointed.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Marriage of Kitty"

''The Marriage of Kitty" is an exquls- itely drawn comedy of the Dresden china sort, sparkling with sprightly lines, re- plete with situations happily conceived and so thoroughly captivating that one delights to finger over it as a pleasant memory A play so clever is rendered all the more entertaining by the presence of a company so capable as was that one which apepared at the Jefferson theatre last night, with MT. Figman and Miss Adelaide Monala in the leading roles
 It Is in the second act that the comedy plays upon ones finer sensibilties and appeals to his romantic self by a suc- cession of surprising climaxes that leave ones emotions fairly tingling with the jov of life and the heart vibrant to a love-making scene that Is irresistible. When Kitty plays to Sir Reginald at the piano and he, an unlueky chap who has just fallen in love with his wife can hardly resist the temptation to seize her in his arms as she sings, ripples of laughter are contagious and then when Sir Reginald shows his passion by an unexpected kiss and Kitty draws up In great hauteur to succumb Immediately after, the applause is spontaneous Tor a scene so cleverly acted.
 .'rhe Marriage of Kitty" was seen here earlier in the season with Bettina Girard playing the part of Kitty. An extended criticism was printed at that time. One could not but note the difference in the art of Miss Manola and Miss Girard. All though Miss Manola plays the part some what differently rom Miss Girard she is nevertheless very winning. One missed the brilliancy, the vivacity and the all lurement of a born coquette which Miss Girard pictured Miss Manola is gentler' more appealing, more girlish and de- bends much on her pretty face Tor re- suits She could not achieve that ex- plosive little laugh that has made "The Marriage of Kitty remembered but at the plano and in the sofa scene she was most attractive. Sir Reginad's palplta- tions were excusable.
 Practically the same company appeared with the exception of Miss Girard as was seen here earlier in the season. Max Figman gave his amusing impersonation of the foppish baronet and all the other members of the company were saus1ac- tory.
 ''The Marriage of Kitty is comedy that one does not wish to forget.

 There is a great deal of speculation about the presence in the city of several out-of-town postmasters. the impression being that they are before the grand jury of the United States court. When asked why they were in the city-it Is well known that they are attending Uni ted States court-United States District Attorney Warren s. Reese laughed and said he did not kuow; that is to say, yes, he did not know. Hon. Thomas G. Jones, juge of the court, was almost as communicative as MT. Reese. It was finally learned from one of the attaches of the government building that they came in response to a grand jury sum- mons though he really did not know the reason. Among others the following post masters were seen in and around the government court house: Starks. Of Troy; Perdue, of Greenville; Barnes, of Andalusia; windham, of Opp; Smith of Red Level; Tramell. of Dothan.
