MAY ERECT S2O,OOO
 BRIDGE OVER WARRIOR
Board of Revenue Considers Question. County Engineer Directed to h.
 vestIgate and Report.

The Board of Revenue of Jefferson county yesterday took action of some importance to the residents of Precincts and 43, inasmuch as it will in all like lihood result in the erection of steel bridge over the Warrer river in that section of the county.
 The board directed that the county engineer and the road supervisor ex- anime and investigate the conditions with a view of deciding and fixing upon the best possible site for the proposed bridge. In all probability report on the mat ter will be made to the board at a meet ing to be held next month.
 There Is no bridge over the Warrior river in the vicinity in question, all though the need for one has long been felt, it is said, by the persons residing and doing business in that section. / It is expected the bridge. if erected. will be the largest of It's kind in the county, and will Approximate in cost something like s20.O00.
 The board also gave permission to the Southern Bell Telephone company to erect poles and string wires, and to lay conduits, along the margins of the roads and highways in the county.
 All the members were present at the meeting.

George A. Blinn, one of Birminghams old and esteemed residents. died yester- day morning at SOS o'clock from heart trouble He had been suffering for sever al days and his death was not unexpected. Death occurred at his residence, 1924 Eleventh avenue South.
 The deceased was president of the Ex- celsior Laundry company at the time of his death, and for thirteen years had been vice president of the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust company He resigned that position the first of the past year.
 The funeral services will be conducted from the residence this afternoon at 2;3o o'clock by the Rev. Frank Culver. pastor of the Eleventh Avenue Methodist church, and the interment will be in Elmwood cemetery. The pall-bearers will be George Griffin, F. G. Sheppard, George Estes, J. A. Rountree, c. o. Simpson, J. c. Whitfield, c. R. Patterson and J. B. Cobbs.
 MT. Blinn was born in Covington, Ky, in 1889. He came of the best blood in that state, his ancestors having been famous during the Revolutionary war. In his early life he engaged in the lumber business in Pennsylvania and later moved to Cincinnati, where he was also engaged in business.
 In ss7 MT Binn came to Birmingham with a party of Cincinnati capitalists and liked the city so well that he settled here and entered business. He and his son. George A. Blinn, Jr.. then just out of college, established the Excelsior laun- dry

COMMERCIAL CLUB
 BOARD WILL MEET
CLUB WILL BE ASKED TO CO., OPERATE IN PROVIDING ACCOM- VIOLATIONS FOR MASTER PAINT ERs-vULcAN STATUE.

The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club will be held this afternoon at 3:SO o'cloclk in the clubs new quarters 3Os and BIO North Twenty-lrst street. The question of deciding upon a location for the statue of Vulcan will be taken up.
 A decision from the Master Painters association will be in attendance, and will acauaint the board with the progress reached in the arrangements being made for the convention of the International association of that body. This conven- ton will be held in the city hall Feb ruary 12, and will continue in session a week or more.
 The local members of the association almost completed all the plans, and have raised a fund of about S23o0 to defray the necessary expenses. It is expected that about s1OO more will be needed. This amount will probably be raised be- fore the convention meets.
 It Is believed that the Commercial club will cooperate in order that suitable accommodations for delegates to the con- vention may be obtained. The hotels will be unable to accommodate the l50O or 2OOO delegates, who. with their ladies, are expected to attend, and for that req son arrangements will have to be made with boarding houses and private fami- lies.
 It has been announced that so great Is the interest taken in the coming convention by the manufacturers. that al- ready one concern. located in Atlanta, has rented the Bijou theatre for one night. to entertain the delegates and their guests Several other large con- cerns have announced their intention to make large and comprehensive exhibits at great expense to themselves.
 There will be no meeting of the Con- mercial club this afternoon, but the quar-. terly smoker will be given on the even ing of January F. Addresses will De made by a number of speakers, among them A. R. Smith of Cleveland, Ohio who will speak on the subject of ''Mer- chant Marine" MT. Smith represents an organization which Is endeavoring to have Congress adopt a ship subsidy bill and he has been making addresses before commercial bodies in various parts of the south.

character which he essays He is the cool. daring cracksman and the unruffled gentleman of perfect breeding at every turn. No danger Is too great, no risk too daring. Rallies is a master of him self and all those with whom he comes in contact The fever of criminal burns In his veins, the indifference of fatalst rests upon his handsome face and the heart of lovable man beats in his breast
 It is hardly necessary to say that MT. Bellows performance at the Jefferson theatre last night was a distinct tri- umph. Applause was hushed while the curtain was up but when 1t descended the response was genuinely enthusiastic. Mr. Bellew, as we'll as members of his com pany, was forced to respond to numerous curtain calls. The audience, which repre- scented Birmingham's elect. gave MT. Bel lew a welcome that was remarkable for it's cordiality
 No little was contributed to the suc- cess of the performance by MT. Bel lew's company, which was well balanced and composed of excellent players E. M. Holland as Captain Bedford, carried off the honors expected of him. His man nerisms. his little tricks of speech and gesture, his self-sufficient opinions and professional ways were admirably as- sumed He made the role comic but nevertheless quite strong. Clara Blandick, as Gwendolyn Conron, was a sweet and girlish figure, a foil to the worldly Raf- fes to whom she lost her heart. Frank Connor. as Bunny" was acceptable. while Frank Mccormack, as Crewshay, gave a superb character study of Lon don criminal The entire company was good.
 The play itself is unusually well con structed, when one considers that it was buided upon series of stories having but little connection. The love element woven into it makes a tender appeal to the heart, but the best feature of the play is that dear old Raffles." a winning rogue, makes his escape In the last act.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-01-05
"RaHIes." !"

He is in truth dear old Raffles." The man Is thief. there is a taint in his blood and the smile of refined des- perado on his lips but we yield to the charm of his personality, fall easy vic- tims to his graces of mind and admire the intangible something in his soul that makes him crave the excitement of crime.
 Kyrle Bellew gave at the Jefferson thea ire last night an admirable portrayal of a character that is unique in literature. His art was perfect. He was the embodi- ment of that most fascinating cracksman whose adventures we have followed through the stories of E. W. Hornung. There was no disilluson, no shock of surprise, and no disappointment. 1t was as if Rallies. mere creature of the imagination, had stepped forth on the stage of the Jefferson theatre, living daring Rallies ready for life or death according as the swiftly moving wheel of fortune dictated
 The long and successful run MT. Bel lew has had as Rallies is proof Of any words that may be said in praise of his art. Long before he ever deigned to leave New York the fame of his portrayal had spread to the uttermost parts of this country and had been carried across the water to theatregoers in London who will next year have an opportunity of seeing the play. MT. Bellows handsome face. persuasive voice, youthful features, white hair and winning smile fit the
