"The Hunchback of Notre Dame"
a dramatization of Victor HugoS fam
Gus work, by Barry O'Neil, the stage
director of the stock company at
Keith & Proctor's 125th Street The
atre will be produced for the first
time in New York on Monday next,
Sept. 10. Mr.. O'Neil has spent a great
deal of time in arranging this drama
tization to meet the especial qualifi-
cations of the various members of
the Harlem stock company. and it is
believed that one of the best produc-
tons of the season will result. Re-
hearsals have been most diligently
conducted and the scenic artists and
stage carpenters have been busily en-
ployed for the past two weeks in fur
nishing an entirely new scenic equip
ment for The Hunchback." When
Mr.. Augustin DAILY produced his fam
Gus dramatization of this piece at
Days Theatre ten years ago, the
New York critics found only words
of the highest praise to bestow upon
his wonderful stagecraft and the
piece scored a veritable sensation.
The Harlem production will be a
memorable one with all the faVorites
of this popular organization in the
cast and as the piece has never been
played in 125th Street, it will fur
nish a genuine novelty to Keith and
Proctor's patrons. THE Hunchback
, of Notre Dame" is one of the most
thrilling of the dramatic narratives
of Victor Hugo and its theatrical as
pect is intensified by a correct stage
representation. Stage Director O'Neil
is credited with arranging an alto
gether artistic and powerfully drama
tic version of the great French au-
thor's masterpiece, and in the hands
of the clever artists of the company
an admirable performance is expect
ed.
Keith d Proctor's 5Sth Street.
Manhattan's upper east side has
welcomed the reopening of Keith &
Proctor's 5Sth Street with character
istic enthusiasm and the house in all
the panoply of its new and brilliant
redecoration and renovation through
out, has completely surprised all Wis
itors. 1t was no idle boast of Gen
eral Manager e. F. Albee that he
would make of the 5Sth Street house,
"one of the most beautiful theatres
in he city," for it certainly stands
today in it's new dress, spick and span
from f~ootlights to dome a %conspicu-
ously ornate and magnificent theatre.

A Long Faced Cat.
,a pall Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 About five weeks ago there came to the geological gardens a cat which was unlike any other cat previously exhibited by tho society. This animal, which occupies a cage in the small mammals house, has now been named Fels Badia, and its home is believed to be in Borneo.
 The color of its short, smooth fur is hardly to be described as bay-it is gray rather than brown, and the inclination to chestnut is very slight indeed. The bay eat, as we must call it. is a pretty creature shortlegged and long bodied, with a thick, tapering tail of no great length. For a cat the shape of it's head is remarkable, and 1t has rather small ears.
 Instead of the short, round face of the typical cat the face of this animal is comparatively long. But In its move- ments this curious pussy is true to the instincts of it's race. In the stealthy tread, in the manner of opening the mouth, stretching the limbs and protrud- ing the claws, to say nothing of the meth cd of carrying the tall, there Is no mis- taking the cat. This interesting inmate of the zoo is fairly tame and apparently in the best of health.

TheSouth's Greatest Specialists ?

1MCOUuuh UA CoaCOt OpCCA0A1CsC
 The Birmingham Ledger: There are no better known specialists in the South than Drs. Orion T. and Byron Dozier, of the firm of Drs. Dozier & Dozier, of this city. Certainly there are none more capable and skillful than they.
 These gentlemen are, morally and professionally, honest in all their deal iings with their clients. They seek to relieve and to cure their patients, rather than to follow old hobbies and theories which havo been exploited long since.
 While they give ample reason to fconvince the most biased and preju- diced minds, and offer free consulta- tion and examination, yet they have never been known to resort to such s'catch-penny methods" as advertising mot a cent need be paid till cured; free treatment" etc., so often resorted to by interruptions and incompetent practitioners.
 Their success is remarkable and be- speaks for them the confidence of the people.
 The Birmingham News: Both pr. o. IT. Dozier and Dr. Byron Dozier are re- liable and exper. ,nced physicians and surgeons. who deserve the great sue cess which has been and is theirs.
 Age-Herald: Drs Dozier & Dozier's long standing record and approved abilities entitle them to the proud dis tinction of standing at the head of their profession
 The Southern Odd Fellow: We can not add anything to the reputation Drs. Dozier & Dozier have already acquired in the line of their profession. but we know them to be Brother Odd Fellows and can be relied upon to carry out every promise they make to those needing their services.
 The Bessemer Weekly: There are no physicians in Alabama, if in the South, as well known as the Drs. Dozier- Orion T. and Byron-of Birmingham We doubt if there are as skilled and capable physicians in the state as they are, and we know that there are none other as successful.
 Dr. O. T. Dozier is not only an emi- time should be lost in consulting the health, perhaps ones life, the best are the safest and should always be sought if available.

New Castle, Ind, March 5.-As the
result of a visit to this city by Post
Office Inspector Fletcher, Of Indian
apolis, four New Castle people have
paid penalties of $40 and 500 for vio-
lations Of the postal laws. In each
case ignorance Of the postal regula-
tons was the cause Of their trouble
and all those caught were laboring
men and their wives who could Ill
spare the money. The violations
were the result of inducements Of
fered by tobacco and other firms
which give premiums. Coupons en-
titling the holders to premiums were
sent through the mails and with them
were letters signifying what premi-
ums were desired. They were sent
as merchandise. Inspector Fletcher
called on the guilty parties and as
a result today they called at the
postoffice and paid the penalty for
their action. There have been num-
erous violations of this section of the
postal laws in this vicinity Of late
and the authorities will stop it. It
is believed that the assessing Of these
fines will have, wide effect in put
ting a stop to the practice.
