FRANK WILLIAMS WINS.
Is Awarded S5 Prize Tn Amateur Con
 Sa~A of raalmn

Ia Awarded S5 Prize Tn Amateur Con-
 test at Casino.
 Last nights performance ended the theatrical season at the Electric Park Casino. Saturday night, the night when the majority of people are more or less kept late at their business, and the in- clemency of the weather. combined to make the farewell audience at the popular little play house rather below the average.
 It was not a representative Casino audience that witnessed the Amateur Contest in which aMnager Neal offered prize of $5 in gold, but what was lack ing in number was more than made up in the genuine appreciation and enthu- siasm. Only three amateurs" appear ed on the scene to contest for the prize, and those three were so cordially re- ceived that 1t would have been a dif1- cult matter to predict to which of the three the coveted piece of gold would find It's way
 However, the selection was not left to one man or to any committee of men, but to the entire audience. In that act of wisdom, or policy on the part of MT. Neal. he showed that he was not a novice in his line.
 The three contestants. Miss May Cheatham, the vocalist; Frank Will Hams, the violn soloist. and Albert Bartee, the trick pianist. were each good in their respective lines. but the prize easily went to MT. Williams, Several times during the season, there have been professional violin perform CTS at the Casino who were inferior to MT. Williams. His imitation of the church organ on the violin was excel lent, and his "Dutchman's Serenade to his Sweetheart" was work of high or- der,

LOUISIANA NEEDS REPAIRS.
Most Modern BattIeship Has Trouble
 With Boilers.


 Washington, Sept S-The Louisiana, designated as the most modern bat tleship," which is now undergoing her shaking down process. has been obliged to steam slowly because oil gets into the boilers and causes trou- ble.
 It is a condition of affairs that has afflicted A number of other naval ves- sells. and alterations have been made in the machinery to obviate the difficulty. It seems curious that oil should get into the boilers of a ship and the ex- planation Is that the dynamo engines are responsible.
 These engines are run the entire twenty-four hours of the day and are fabricated by spray of oil. This spray gets mixed with the steam that Is sent into the condenser and Is thus returned to the boilers, where it floats upon the top of the water in a scum. which seriously interferes with the main engines of the ship. By A encouragement of the dynamos the dif- hculty Is obviated. and several warships have been undergoing these changes during the past few months. The new ships will be so changed when they re turn to the navy yards

A World Beater.

w E. Craighill, Major Engineer Corps, United States Army, and at pres ent acting lighthouse engineer for the Gulf District, this morning declared that the Mobile Bay channel Is the best lighted of any channel in the world He gave the following as his authority for the statement:
 Until recently the bay channel has been lighted by beacons equipped with lamps which required attention every twenty-four hours. There are twenty seven beacons between the Mobile River lighthous and the light at Fort Nor gan. These have been equipped and are now using acetyline gas. The bea, con batteries now require attention only once in two months. but for fear of fickering lights a tender looks af- ter and recharges the batteries every forty five days. The lights are far brighter and clearer and the channels lines are seen as easily at night as in daylight.

 Selma, Sept. 8.
 when the Dallas Academy. the prin- cipal public school of the city, opens Tor inc coming scholastic year, there VIII have been many improvements mace around the building The buiidang nas been repaired and Is now one or the best equipped school buildings in the State. Several other needed improve ments will be made between now ana inc time that the school will open.
 For the past year or two the schol- ars and teachers at the Dallas Acad- emy have suffered some inconvenience on cold days on account of there not being sufficient heat from the furnaces. The executive committee of the city school board, which is composed or w. R Nelson, w. P. Welch and Principal R, E Hardaway, have attempted to econfmize by having repairs done on the old furnace. but this year 1t was found that a new furnace would have to be put in.
 Some months ago the school board ordered the committee to purchase a new furnace which 1t has done and the furnace has been installed in the build ing. The new furnace Is one of the most modern and has all of the latest appliances. This furnace was tested yesterday in the presence of the com- mittee, and 1t was found to be most satisfactory, but a further test of 1t will be made during the fall before the final payment Is made.
 For several years more modern plumbing has been needed about the building. A contract for this work was let during the past week and two au- tomatic flush tanks will be put in im- mediately and another added later. The writing committee of the school of which N Waller is chairman, has just fitted up another room with new and modern desks. These are added from year to year as funds can be secured for the purpose.
 The school board has abolished the tuition fee this year in all the grades except the high school grades.
