Carefully Guarded Royal Jewels.

Royal personages generally delight in collecting beautiful jewels. and much care Is taken that these costly baubleB are not stolen.
 Among the so-called crown jewels's shown at the Tower of London are many limitations in paste" the real gems being stored in strong vaults in iron -hound boxes.
 One Uf the most valuable collections of jewels in the world Is owned by the imperial family of Russia. The coilec- tion is kept fin fortified castle, which Is very strongly guarded. The Czar keeps some of his own private jewels In banks in London and Paris.
 The jewels of tho Italian royal fam fly are stored in vaults beneath a fort on a little island Of the Tiber. Pro. tected as they are by the famous bue muddy river above and by the military guard on the island, they are safe from the most ingenious and daring of bur- glars.

TEACHERS OF LAMAR
FIRE DESTROYS ALI ANSWERS TO
 QUESTIONS.
This Leaves Pedngogues of the County and Members of Board of Examiners in
 Quandury.

Through the misfortune of fire last Wednesday night, which destroyed the residence of S. R. Harris. Superintend- ent of Education of Lamar County. all the fees and the papers of the appli- cants for teachers certificates in the State examination were destroyed, ac- yesterday by Secretary W. r. Feagin of the State Board of Examiners.
 As the Alabama educational law does mot provide against fro and tho ele- of the county will have to come to Montgomery for a special examination.
 It appears that this fire will incon- venience applicants more than they have ever been inconvenienced before. It Is hardship to require the thirty two applicants in Lamar County to in- cur the expense of trip to Montgom- cry. and, without regard to grades, pay an additional fee of s5 for the privi- lege of special examination. let the law does not seem to meet this emer- gency any better than this.
 The Examining Board yesterday re- received letter from one of the appli- cants whose papers were destroyed in Superintendent Harris's house. He is in Birmingham with certificate which expires in day or two. He took the another certificate and hoped to be in readiness for the former certificate to expire. Now ne is in an uncomfort- able position. He asks that the Super intendent of Jefferson County be au- thorized to give him an examination in time to get the desired certificate. This cannot be done, according to the mem bers of the Board of Examiners.
 There seems to be no alternative for the next six months far the applicants but to come to Montgomery and take a special examination in the only way pels all superintendents to begin ex- amina tions on the first Mondays in Jan- uary and July of each year. and that none shall begin later. Then follows the exception. allowing an examination to be held in the Capitol under the 5u- pervision of the Board or a represen- tative of the Board. So that 1t Is even cial fee of s5 in this event will be addi- tional to the fee paid in Lamar County. or whether credit will be given for the money paid to the Superintendent of that as the superintendent will be held to account for the collections last week. credit would be given the applicants for the amounts paid in.
 Not only are the superintendent at Vernon and the applicants of Lamar County in a quandary, but the Board of Examiners are as we'll. They will be compelled to compose new questions for these ill-fated applicants and this re- quires no little time. when 1t Is remem- bered that every question in every branch In all grades will have to be new or is supposed to be made over lar examination all over the State, and as much work will have to be done for a comparatively small set of applicants as was done for the State at large. This will retard the work of the Board some as they are in about their busiest pe- riod of the year.
 Besides the fees and examination papers there were also destroyed in the Are the ledger. the teachers contracts and the November and December pay rolls.

Mansfield and the Critics.

This interesting account of the Bo- hemian Club banquet to Richard Mans field is from San Francisco weekly:
 .Tt was a great night In Bohemia and Mir. Mansfield was properly edifed. He came out of his shell for the occasion and was positively genial and more than convivial. The keynote of Bohe- milan hospitality for this occasion was suggested by the tone of certain crit les of the press towards Mansfield. The actor was commiserated in satrical vein for not being able to act up to the standards of Journalistic sticklers for high art. It, was evident that the stock wits of the club thought 1t en-l oumbent on them to placate the great actor by letting him know that they do not take the critic seriously, and that they appreciate his ircomparable achievements.
 But Mansfield was not in the mood to encourage that sort of thing. The proud thespian prefers to have 1t un- derstood that he Is not to be nettled by criticism He told the Bohemians that no actor of sense would resent the sug- gestion of men who have been trained in the niceties of the histrionic art. He said that he had received many good suggestion from newspaper critics and had availed himself thereof. MT. Mansfield made a deep impression by the manliness of his sentiments. There was a touch of humor in much that he said, as for instance, when he acknowl- edged that before becoming an actor he was a dramatic critic, and added that he had suffered as an actor retrl- button for his offenses as critic.
 He said that in his early career he was a painter. not of houses,' he ex- plained, but of pictures" T painted them to sell to my friends and soon found out that I had no friends!" Mans field took occasion to repudiate much that has been said of him in the press, but he did not intimate that he held the press responsible. The actor in- formed the Bohemians that he consid- cred it absurd for a man in public life to expect nothing but the truth to be uttered concerning him at all times, and he added that in time repeated vol leys of untruth developed for the vic- tim a callous disposition.
 Incidentally, he succeeded in exciting sympathy by saying that while he did not resent misrepresentation in the press, his wife did not read unjust criticism of him with the stoicism of

 This policy looks to the inaugura- ton in America of a line of procedure so popular in Continental Europe among artistes who have become distinguished in their profession, such artistes as !, Duse in Italy, as Bernhardt and Rejane in France, and as Sorma in Germany. This policy means that the season of 1905~0S will be opened by Miss Robson in new play by a distinguished play wright in a popular Broadway theatre of which she will, have possession for the entire season. and in which she will appear in a repertoire of plays of high standing, and which will, for next season, include four new plays, all of them written especially for Miss Rob- son. One of these Is by: l. Edmund Rostand, the distinguish cd French Academican, the author of L'Aiglon, which he wrote for Sarah Bernhardt and with the exception of the play which he Is now writing for Miss Robson, the only play he ever wrote upon individual order. for any one. Another is:s

 In carrying out this plan, the time in January heretofore secured for Miss Robson has already been cancelled, and Miss Robson will continue the present season en tour, in select bookings. in cities from whence special urgent re- quests have come. The Clyde Fitch comedy will be put in rehearsal early in the year and following this the Je- rome K. Jerome comedy. so that the repertoire selected for her first perma- nent season in New York may be one thoroughly tried and tested.

The Theatre Magazine for January.

 The Theatre Magazine starts the New Year with Q splendid number. Promi- nent among the literary features is an article by Thomas Dixon, Jr,, who ex- plains his purpose in writing "The Clansman," the racial play which has caused a sensation in the South and is about to be seen fin New York. An other notable contribution Is an inter view with Maurice Maeterlinck, the Bell gian Shakespeare, who furnishes the key to the real character of his now world-famous heroine, Monna Wanna. The regular interview of the month with Grace George, and in the course of an interesting chat on stage matters, the young actress incidentally ''roasts" the critics and analyses the personality of Lady Kitty Ashe. David Warfield, the successful impersonator of The Music Master" tells in characteristic style the story of his beginnings on the stage, showing how he ultimately triumphed over seemingly insurmountable difficult ties. The instructive series Illustrating and describing the places of Shake- speares plays Is continued, and an- other article gives an interesting Rc- count of how all London was duped by A celebrated forger of Shakespeare's manuscripts The plays of the month and the events of the musical world are discussed with the usual frankness and authority. The pictures include. in addition to the colored cover, which presents Margaret Anglin in "Zira," full-page pictures of scenes in Belas- co.'s latest success The Gold of the Golden West" William Gillette.
