CHAUTAUQUA IS NOT
 EFFECTED BY FEVER
AT TALLADEGA IS ExcELLENT-SO WILL NOT RUN SPECIAL TRAINS-MAN KILLED BY A FALLING TREE.

Talladega August 4.-(Special.)-O or the Cnautauqua artists, G. Paul Smith, of New York, the protean entertainer, who is due on the platform Saturday evening, August 5, wired Manager Vandiver to know If yellow fever would stop the ses- sion of the Alabama Chautauqua assem- bly,, and was it safe to come to TaIadega on the account of the fever The man. ager answered him that he could come on with safety, as the yellow fever scare was all nonsense, so far as d city in the mountains was concerned.
 Douthwaites orchestra at the chautau- qua assembly grows more popular with each evening, two numbers on this even ing's programme were especially applaud ed-"Southern Breezes,' being a medley of southern airs, My Old Kentucky Home," "Sewanee Ribber," Nelly Was a Lady''-and a march at the close of the evenings concert
 The Romeo Prick Opera company closed their engagement with a farewell concert this evening, meeting with the same favor as their initial entertainment. The work of this company is fine. the music clas- sical and well selected. Miss Kelley, the leading soprano, is easily the star of the company, singing with clearness and pre- csion two notes above high c, probably no other singer in America, except Miss Yaw, being able to do this without eff fort. The violinist, MT. Geiss, mere lad, is a genius.
 The Southern railroad has declined to run trains No. 23 and "A as far as Co., lumbiana during the Chautauqua on the ground that it would be necessary to print a special time table, which would be expensive, and that the trains would not bring in sufficient revenue to counter balance this expense added to the other necessary expense of running the extra distance. The railroad officials assure the chautauqua management that they are very much interested in the Alabama chautauqua, that they have thoroughly advertised the assembly, and will con tinue to do so until the occasion is over.
