At the Majestic.

VIII II. Fox, the comedy pianist, play
ing this week at the Majestic, aside from
his screaming satire on Paderewski, has
a performance that is one of the rarest
combinations of humor and music on the
stage. Mr.. Fox tells a number of good
stories and intersperses them with imta-
tons on the piano. His rendering of the
Lost ChordS was one of the cleverest
things in his extensive repertoire. Then
comes his imitation of an orchestra and
his playing with hands, nose and feet
The scope of this finished performers
versatility leads him into more serious
phases of execution which pleases the
audience as much as his wit and buff
foonery. The remainder of the bill at the
Majestic is right up to the standard, be-
ing maintained at this house.

any particulars of the trouble south of
Montgomery, and that he was rushing
about 300 men and two trains of timbers

only a few minutes late having been

started from New Orleans has not been
heard from in Birmingham, and 1t is sup

uprooted, great limbs hurled a LOCK,
fences laid low stock killed by lightning
and the streets washed into gulleys that
will take months to repair. Electric light,
telephone, telegraph and other wires were
laid low and communication with the out
side world almost entirely cut off. The
few messages that were gotten through
during the morning hours confirmed the
belief that farmers have been damaged
seriously but Just to what extent they
can't tell till they have visited their plan

very nature of things the damage is bound

REPORT SAYS WEST POINT is IN
FINE CONDITION BOTH AS RE-
CARDS DISCIPLINE AND EFFl-
CENCY OF THE WORK.

Washington, September 27.-No more fa-
vorable reports of the conditions at the
military academy at West Point has been
made in recent years to the war depart
ment than that of the board of visitors,
of which Gen. Horace Porter was presi-
dent. made public by the war department
today.
In its report the board says 1t desires
ito express it's unanimous opinion that
. the management of the academy, both In
discipline and efficiency, is of the highest
order, and an honor to those charged with
It's administration
Regarding hazing the committee says:
The practice of hazing new cadets, at
one time prevalent among the older stu
dents of the academy, has been effectually
stamped out, and we have been informed
that no instance of real hazng has come
to the attention of the academy authori-
ties during the last three years, or since
effective measures were employd for Its
abolition. This excellent state of discipline
could only have resulted from the hearty
cooperation of the student body"

reports scores of cabins blown down be-
tween Hattiesburg, Miss, and Pearl river,
and about 10 per cent Of the timber along
the road blown down. A track walker

up the bank of the Mississippi from
point about seventy miles below the city.
The trainmen reported that they had seen
no serious damage, although in several
places the water was an inch deep over
the rails
