"SThe Millionaire Detective" an in- geniously oontrived comedy-d drama in four acts combining frenzied finance and the art of scientific detection, was played to an audience that filled the Bijou Theatre last night
 The Millionaire Detective" was in Montgomery last season, and the play. which was here for three consecutive nights, vita Howard Hall at its head, was liberally patronized. Hence, 1t 's not necessary to review the play. Mr. Hall. in the dual role of Robert Rose and the Millionaire Detective. is still the principal. He played the parts last night with the same effectiveness as he did a year ago. Then he was pro- nounced fine. He still maintains thSs
 Miss Barbara Douglas, as Mrs. sedg- wick, an exaggeration of Mrs. Chad wick. plays her villainous and design ing part with the same intepsity of in- terest as she did last season. Miss Anna Hollinger, as the heroine. is still the amiable vivaeious and proposes sing young woman she has always been. She was greatly admired. Other characters are the same with the eX- ception of few changes in the minJr
 During the third act a clever sketch was done by George Ovey and Miss Louise Horner.

 TODAY IS THE SHORTEST DAY Y

You must, hurry. hurry, hurry today, not only to see George, as It IS cried by the spieler of the street fair but to do anything else that is either pleas- ant or profitable, or necessary.
 Today, the occasion of Lhe Winter Solstice, Is the shortest day of the year. The gradual abbreviation of the days which has been such favorite topic or conversation must now give way 10 an equally fruitful theme, the elongatIon of the term of daylight The pleasure time of owls will now begin to decrease while the lark will be enabled to arise and do cantation at Heavens gate earlier, and do it's vespers later and later until the next standing of the sun.
 The weather man, who arranges all these matters. told a representative or The Advertiser facts about it. Solstice. 1t may be said, prefatortly, Is derived from the Latin words, sol, meaning sum- and sto, signifying stand, and it theres fore means a standing still of the sun. It is applied to the time at which the sun apears to stand still, the which times are in December and June. The crudest observations in the fall and from that time onward to today indi- cate an elongation of the suns shad- ows. It is notable, however, that the increase in the length of the shadows upon the days immediately previous to today is inconsiderable, the motion of the sup, considered from north to south, being so slight as to escape de-

The above clipping from The Allan ta Georgian is about as complete mis- statement of facts as one ever sees.
 Absolutely nothing has been done i'll regard to the selection af manager for the reason that the local baseball situation is still up in the air so high that an unusually strong spy-glass would be unable to locate it. At the meeting of the Montgomery Baseball Association one week ago it was hoped that the mixed up condition Of base ball affairs would be straiShtened out, a manager appointed and everything made ready for the opening f :he 1907 season. Nothing at all was done at that meeting and it was adourned to await the arrival here of President R D. Apperson of the Montgomery Trac- tion Company, who was expected to
 General Manager W. H. Ragland of the Traction. Company received a let tetr from MT. A2person vesterday morning in which he said that he would be unable to come to Montgom- cry until after Christmas.
 As to the second item of misinfor- nation in The Georgian's special about the sale of the franchise that is larky fake. At last weeks meeting proposition made the Traction Compa- ny was held in aheyance to await the coming of MT. Apperson, and since then everything has been iE statu quo
 The meeting of the Southern League will be held in Birmingham next ThurSQay, ana unless SOmsJnlnR nap Q pens, and happens quickly, President Amerine will go to that meeting com pletely in the dark as regards the pros- poets locally. If MT. Apperson had come to Montgomery this week things might have been arranged so that MT. Amerine could put the Montgomery situation before the League meeting in a clear light. If MT ADperson does not reach Montgomery until next Thursday tie Montgomery situation
 will have to be put before the leo rue
 meeting fin such a amuddled cond m that both the officials of the Southern League and of the Montgomery club
 will be helplessly in the dark
 The officials of the Traction Company have openly stated that they do not in- tend to put up the money to carry, on the baseball club, and a baseball club Christmas without Sapta Clause to & child. Local business men say that they are unwilling to buy the sfran- chise and stand all the expense whils the Traction Company gets the beheh' to be derived from the car fares. So there you are. Baseball or no | baseball. pay your money and take your choice.
 In discussing the matter esterday Q prominent business man said that he ! thought 9 company could be formed ! very easily to buy the franchise if the | Traction Company would guarantee tC 1 give $2.500 to the club.

 The thefts were committed in one of the dormitories and teachers as well as students suffered. Articles of wear ing apparel as well as money and jew elry have been missing over a period of a week. Yesterday when it came time to dismiss the school the board CTS in the dormitory were summoned

 Teachers began their disagreeable duty and one of them was notified that a student who had reported a five dol lar bill stolen, had found the bill crumpled up and lying within thea door of the room where it had apparently been thrown in a hurry. Other re- ports of the nasty return of stolen property were almost immediately made and soon all who had lost any thing had found the missing property. The school faculty and some of the students are said to know the culprit but the identity Is concealed.
