j. A. Kent was fined $40 in police court
for refusing and preventing the inspec-
ton of milk which he was selling in

When a dairyman refuses to have his

Is not what it should be, and that there
is some INSCRIPTIONS practice going on.

Richard Mansfield.

The appearance of Richard Mansfield
at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night
in Beau Brummel" is to be an event
of exceptional interest.
Mans" said a critic writing of his
celebrated Beau Brummel on the occa-
sion of his performance of the role in
New York recently, rs exceptional In
temperament, exceptional in voice, ex-
ceptional in purely personal traits. In
fact, he is exceptional among the other
stars of the drama, because of them ali
he is the real artist.
No other actor than he could have kept
alive Beau Brummel,n that embodiment
of egotism gone mad now fifteen years
younger, but still fresh with the perennial
freshness OF consumnate art.

New GaYetY.

People were turned away from tina
Gayety theatre at both performances yes
terday and those who were unable q
get inside the theatre missed one of the
best shows Of this season. 1t was best
In several respects and In all respects II
WAS as good as any.
To begin with the big feature OF ths
show was Miss Frankie Bailey. consd-
cred one OF the most perfectly formed wo-
men on the American stage and she
lives up to her reputation. She is moi
only the possessor of an almost perfect
figure, but she is as graceful as
woman could well be. A bad cold inter
fered with her singing yesterday aft
ernoon, but she was better by last nigh
and 1t Is expected that she will be in
excellent singing voice today.
Miss Bailey has caused more interest
than any other woman who has been tc
the Gayety this season. Every man in
town wanted to see the woman who was
considered perfect in all proportions, and
none of them were disappointed when
they saw Miss Bailey yesterday.
Clarence Wilbur is the chief funmaker
of the show, and as PATSY Bolivar" he
gets more than one hearty laugh. His
comedy is original and the audiences yes
terday seemed to enjoy 1t a great deal.
The show Is the kind that will fill the
Gayety all this week. There were many
disappointed people who failed TO get
inside the theatre yesterday and all those
who did attend will prove excellent adj
vertisements.
There is an ollo Of vaudeville acts that
are good full of comedy and acrobatic
stunts. Miss Hattie Mills sings some new
songs and tolls couple Of good Irish
jokes She has a good brogue and tells
her stories well. Rice and Walters havs
a novelty called "A Day on the Farm"
and they created no end of amusement.
A kicking COW helped them a great deal.

Still Loves Huntsville.

Huntsville, however. is my home and
still holds great part of my affection.
Like all sections of the south Huntsville
and community is enjoying rapid
growth just now and its prospects for the
future are very bright.
There is more money in circula ton
and in the banks than ever before in
the history of the town. Building is GO
Ing on at very rapid rate and yet there
is not a vacant house in the city. Bust

''The local lodge of Elks has begun the
erection Of handsome opera house to
be known as the Elks' theatre, which will
be one of the largest and finest of the
kind in the state. The building will cost
about 100000, and will be ready to open
at the beginning of the next season.
"All lines Of business in Huntsville arc

Among the people of the north and

treasury, and [ feel sure that If the peo-
pie of Birmingham continue the fight

name of person. Both the singular

may be repeated in the same word.
Geographical names authorized by
Webster will be counted.
Arrange the words in alphabetical
classes, all those beginning with A to-
gether and those beginning with E to
come under E, etc.
When you are writing down the
words leave some spaces, in the A. e.
and other columns, to fill in later as
new words come to you, for they will
spring into mind every evening.
1t is almost certain that some con
testants will tie with others. In such
cases a prize identical in value and

Not Likely to Escape

Henry Vignaud, secretary OF the

telling Of an American who was being
shown the tomb of Napoleon. AS
the loQuacious guide referred to the
various points of interest in connec-
tiol with the tomb, the American
evinced the greatest interest in ali
that was said.
This immense sarcophagus, de-
claimed the guide, weighs forty tons.
Inside of that, sir. is a steel receptacle
weighing twelve tons, and inside OF
that is a leaden casket. hermeticalIy
sealed, weighing over two tons. In
side of that rests a mahogany ccffin
containing the remains Of the great
man."
For a moment the American was
silent, as if in deep meditation. Then
he said:

him all right. II he ever gets out,
cable at my expense. Success.

he was present he was the great fig
ure in the eyes and hearts of the sol
diers. All others were well enough,
but Lincoln was our ideal, the man
we loved. in whom we had implicit
confidence, and throughout that long,
dreadful war. the vast army of the
North was made better and stronger
and more determined to win in the
contest because of its unquestioned be-
lief in the man at the head OF the
goyernment-the love every true sol

faces turned upon them. and the lusty
cheers we gave them.
After Antletam.
1T was a well-tested army that
President Lincoln reviewed soon af-
ter the battle of Antietam, in Septem-
ber. 1862 Officers ana men had
learned much in the school of tie sol
der. They had been through that
series of hard battles under McClel-
Ian on the way to Richmond FROM
Yorktown.
Before reviewing the army Mr..
Lincoln, accompanied by Gen. McClel-
Ian and many other officers. rode over
the most interesting portions of the
battlefield. Some Of Mr.. Lincoln's
sayings during that ride reached tie
soldiers and added to their love for
him. At one point, where Hooker's
corps and Gen. Longstreet's men had
clashed, when thousands we're Killed
and wounded, there was one grave in
which $50 Confederate soldiers were
buried, and near 1t were many graves
OF Union soldiers. Mr.. Lincoln and
his party halted at these graves. The
president was told Of the hard fight
ing that had taken place there and
that the long trench contained $50
Confederate soldiers, and thaS near It
an equal number Of Union soldiers
were buried. The president lised his
hat, bowed his head, and more as if
he was talking to himself than to
those at his side. said, Brave men
and both sides Americans.

The president seemed more grave and

bowed. His boy, Tad, rode a pony
