ing so much, while 1t Is making a
feint at Hoult bridge-work without
the effort of earnest attack, SO that
we are kept guessing what the next
move will be. But the East Park
Company keeps steadily on leveling
up the slip in their fill at Merchant

tackled next in order. All kinds of
talk has been current on the streets
as to the latter project. its impossi-
bility, that 1t can't be done. But un.
less there is an awful unforeseen
slump somewhere, somebody is going
to have to take water, while the U.

sewer buried 80 feet deep, and the
idle can't OF the doless ones will be
buried as deep likewise along with it.
This is only the beginning of new
things On the horizon of some mems
vision, but only wait and greater
wonders than this may follow in turn,
which will consign this project as
their f%orerunner into utter i~nsignif-

VISITORS WILL BE ACCOMMODAT-

Csavss Guests wm ne alveny Free 1sck- ets to spectaeae at E1eetfic Park T0nlght-sThousanoa AL
 ready Here.

Every visitor to the. city will be- the eueet of the citizens Of Montgomery at Electric Park tonight when the great spectacle, "The Siege and Fall of Port Arthur" will be put on for the first time.
 A booth which will be built on Court Square this morning will be used as a Bureau of Information for the visi- tors. There will be two attendants at the booth throughout the day and all visitors who call at the Bureau can secure any information required. By displaying his railroad ticket, each visitor will be given a complimentary ticket to the spectacle at the park to- night.
 Although 1t was advertised that the first production of the spectacle would be given last night, the owners of the show found by o'clock that they were unable to get in readiness and the ini- tial performance was postponed until tonight.
 The paraphernalia of the show did not begin to arrive in Montgomery un-. til Saturday night and sufficient time was not afforded the owners to com plete their work. An unfortunate handicap also was a delay of twenty four hours in the arrival of car load of fireworks.
 The men worked faithfully all af ycSttEudy chONt tO HdfO thS SAhOW in readiness but when o'clock arrived it was found impossible to complete the task. Those in charge of the work announced that there would be no per formance and the Montgomery Street Railway was at once informed of the delay. The railway had made arrange ments to have ample car facilities, but when the officials received the message. orders were given not to increase the normal number of cars on the Electric Park line which ordinarily gives a twenty-four minute schedule at this season of Sthe year.
 Although an empioye of the street car company was placed at Court Square to inform the people that the show had been postponed. still large crowds gathered there and several hundred people reached the park be- fore they learned of the postponement. Thousands of visitors are already in Montgomery and the streets were thronged until a late hour last night.

wIIIa Company at Bijou.

The Wills Musical Comedy Company opened It's engagement at the Bijou family theatre last night to a capacity house. Not a single seat in the pretty. little theatre was vacant and the audi enoe greeted the efforts of the perform CTS with the greatest enthusiasm.
 Tn Atlantic City" is a hodge podge of good humor, pretty girls In striking costumes and singing of humber of popular airs and ballads. Nothing serious is attempted. It is not even as serious as the usual run of musical comedies. It is a succession of vaude- vile acts, pleasing withal but without the slightest semblance of connection ana that is the thing that seems to please the average American audience.
 Tn Atlantic City" undoubtedly pleas ed. There was hardly number not encored, and the efforts of the come- dians were rewarded with constant ap- plause.
 But the success of 'Tn Atlantic City" undoubtedly rests on the shoulders of one man. That man Is not cast as the star comedian. But nevertheless he was the star. In the opening of the second act, It dawned on the audience that they were in the presence of one of the very best eccentric dancers who ever appeared before Montgomery au-, dlenee. His name IS W. ;. WliIs. fela- tive of the head of the organization. His "Hinky Dee" song and dance supported by the strong female chorus was easily worth the price of admission. He has the longest sort of long legs and he knows how to put their length to the best advantage. For nearly half hour he was kept on the stage. while the audience roared, His good work was continued throughout the performance.
 Then there was the Montgomery favOritef Arthur Browning. Browning has been here a dozen times and he was always a star. His dance fs not eccentric IL is straight buck and wing and in this line Browning has few equals. The dancing division of the wills Company is exceptionally strong.

 uIt was the middle ages before the Kitchen had been raised to the dignity os an established apartment. strahge doings went on in those mediaeval Kitchens.

EVOLUTION OF THE KITCHEN.
Rapid Progress Made in Convenienees
 in Recent Years.

New York Tribune.
 The evolution of the modern kitchen is just as interesting a story as that of the evolution of any other feature of present day life in enlightened countries.
 It has come straight from the out door fire. just as modern dress has evolved from the blanket and loincloth of the savage.
 When the Romans invaded Britain they found the inhabitants living in one room, partially underground. The cooking. however, was done mainly in the open air. as a matter of conven- fence. When 1t was done in the house the smoke and odor escaped through a hole in the roof as 1t does In the huts of savages to-day. One of the great est, most civilizing and most elegant inventions ever made was the fire- place, which brought the first sem- bIanee of modern decency, neatness and comfort into the home. The fire phase seems very old fashioned. yet the mother of the present writer, not a very aged woman, can remember when the first stove was brought into her home in Northern Vermont.

MONTGOMERY IS FILLING.
Thousands of People Come In on Night
 Trains.

The pouring of pc ople into Montgom- cry for the exercises. to take place on the visit of the Presidential party today be gan yesterday afternoon and assumed large proportions by nfghtfall. Every train coming into the city was loaded with passengers and every hatel in the city reported at a late hour last night that they had very nearlysreached the limit of their accommoes tions.
 Many of the hotels were last night compelled to turn away persons Jesir- ing lodging. Restaurants and lunch stnds also reported a large increase in business and the streets were throng- ed with the advance guard of the vis- itors. The registers of the hotels indi- cated that the visitors came, not only from places near Montgomery. but from a large number of towns inSmiddle and South Alabama.
 It is believed by conservative citi- zens that there well be the largest num- Der of visitors here today in the histo- ry Of Montgomery. All preparations have been made for an unparalleled crowd aad 1t is believed that there will be ample facilities for afferding each visitor place for lodging
