Rs. CARRIE NATION contem- plates a visit to 4aobile. If she
 decides to go she will descend

I\V1 plates a visit to 4aobile. If she decides to go she will descend upon the sedate old town with her tongue | in good working order and in hopes of accomplishing much toward decreasing the number of Mobiles saloons. Mrs Ma tion's name is not printed in box car let ters now, but she Is still active. It ap- pears that Mobile is rapidly attaining to place among the most up-to-date mu- nicipalities. Sam Jones says the town is wicked and now Mrs. Nation believes she , owes it visit.
 Birmingham theatregoers are still try | ing to reach a conclusion regarding Richard Mans1eld's performance in Ivan the Terrible" There appears to be an un- due amount of disappointment, which af- ter all may not be hard to explain. In the | first place people wanted to see a play story enacted before their eyes on the
 stage, with a definite beginning and
 ending. Then it Is human nature for people to desire to see a favorite actor | play part that appeals to them love- | able role and one that awakens the keen est sympathles. Ivan is anything else. ''Ivan the Terrible" is not a play. and | therein lies the first cause of disappoint- ment. It is merely succession of scenes loosely strung together. It Is but won- | derful character study of man who was unique in the history of the world. Of course there was a certain intellectual satisfaction in studying the consummate art of Mansfield in his portrayal of Ivan l but the emotions of pity, of sympathy | and of admiration were totally lacking, and there was only loathing for being so monstrous. Therefore the after sensa- ton was very much akin to bad taste in the mouth. "Ivan the Terrible" Is not a diversion to sweeten life.
 Now there is a Prayer Trust in Maine. Ere long some people will try to

 MT. Sullivan of Boston probably real izes now that he made mistake in arous- | ing the ire of the proprietor of a flock
 of yellow journals. While MT. Sullivan is confined to the usual amount of news paper space devoted to such legislative | tits, MT. Hearst fires page broadsides at 1 his adversary with a reckless disregard for big type and printers ink that is re- | freshing. Readers of the Hearst jour nals have had no difficulty in finding
 out all they should know about the past, present and future of MT. Sullivan of Bos- ton.
 While the jiu-jitsu craze is "on' it | should be recalled that jiu-jitsu is not | at all new in finance-that Is high finance. The science of jiu-jitsu in wrestling is
 to seize your adversary in such a manner that he must either fall, surrender or suf- fer perhaps a broken limb. wrench of | some ligament, a sprain or nervous shock. | The gentlemen who apply jiu-jitsu to finance are those who put speculator where he has to turn loose or suffer pains that are harder for some people to bear than those resulting from a Japanese wrestling trick.
 So, James R. Hyde is to assist in build ing a theatre for Rejane. Just at present young MT. Hyde Is getting all the pub
 
 for, what with his fame as an entertainer on lavish and bizarre scale and his trou- bles with the Equitable Life Assurance society. The tales of his exploits make | interesting reading for the masses who have neither the money nor the temerity
 to follow suit There may be some ex- aggeration in the accounts of MT. Hyde's achievements, but then you vii allow that this is a most unusual opportunity which mo yellow journal could -~ord to miss. Mir. Hyde is not related to pr. Jekyl.
