Audience Showed Appreciation Of High
 Clnss Vaudeville.
 vaudeville amusement of high class pleased another appreciative audience at the Electric Park Casino Theatre last night
 Lawrence Crane. in his mysterious sleight of hand work was favorite. He maintained his happy faculty of intensely interesting his audience in the fine entertainment he affords.
 Green and Werner did the Kaiffir act again, made up as the jungle babes. There Is such newness to this act that no audience can fail to like 1t and that one last night was no exception. Greene and Werner are the goods because they put on something that no one else has conceived Their entertainment goes with snap and the pairs of jungle babes got the applause.
 Elton. the foreign pantoniimist. was there again last night with his dish breaking stunt and his utterly ridicu- lous performance. The audience liked him but that was nothing unusual. for every audience takes to the freakish act.

TROY LOSES RECORDER.
Supreme Court Gusts Judge Hubhar From OA3ce

supreme Court Gusts Judge Hubbard
 From Oface.
 The city of Troy is without Re- corder. according to an opinion handed down yesterday by the Supreme Court. and Col Ralph c. Hubbard, who has presided over that court is without an office.
 The case decided by the court was that of the State on relation of John Gamble against c. J, Hubbard. In an opinion written by Mir. Justice Tyson the Pike County Circuit Court was re- versed and the case was rendered.
 This was quo warranto proceedtng instituted by Mir. Gamble to oust Re- corder Hubbard from presiding over the Inferior Court of Troy.
 In 1870 the Legislature granted to Troy a charter comforting upon the Mayor jurisdiction to try certain cases. In recent years the Legislature passed an act creating the inferior court and conferring upon the judge of that court. of some of the eases which had been conferred upon the Mayor fin the char ter granted fin 1870 After the adop- ton of the State Constitution in 1908 the Legislature passed an act repeal ing the act that established the 1nfe- rior Corut of Troy.
 The question raised was whether the recorders court act was an amendment the repeal of the later act amended the charter so as to make 1t violativs of that provision of the constitution which inhibits the passage of local law amending the charter of any mu- nicipality.
 This same question was practically settled In the case of Little against Huey from Bessemer some time ago In which the Supreme Court held In effect that the later act was an amend ment to the charter. in violation of the constitution and was therefore void. At the time of this decision Mir. Justice Tyson dissented from the views of his colleagues.
 In the Troy case Mir. Justice Tyson wrote the opinion in conformance with the views he held in the Little-Huey case holding that the recorders court act was not an amendment of the char ter and therefore the act repeating it is not unconstitutional
 i All of the justices ceneurred with Mir. Justice Tyson in this opinion ex- cept MT. Justice Haralson and Mir. Jus tice Denson who still hold to the views expressed in the case Of Little agains, Huey.

 New Orleans. July Conformation that a report was published in Mo- nile today sayinug that yellow fever had appeared in New Orleans. was received by the Louisiana State Board Of Health.
 pr c. H. Irion. president of the I,oufsiana Board. authorized the state ,nert that the Mobile report was prob- ably based on the fact that case of fever. which was today officially diag- nosed at typhoid, was reported yester- dav to the state Board as suspicious. Th!s case was reported merely as fever accompanied by black vomit. The State Board immediately appointed a com naIttee of physicians to examine the pa- tient. =

Sent state Convicts . Good Hoiida'

Sent State Convfcts Good Holiday
 Dinner.
 It has been discovered that at least ono gang of State convicts in Alabama were the beneficiaries of the charity of Dr. Shirley Bragg. President of the State Convict Board, of July 4th.
 All of the lessees of State convints. except one, 1t will be remembered, ad- vfsed the Convict Bureau that they would relieve the convicts from hard labor on Independence Day and would provide them with good dinner. The single exception declared he would not show this spirit. Of course there was no way to soften his heart. But pr. Bragg found a way to tighten the bur dens of the convicts employed by this man. The great-hearted President of the Convict Bureau dug deep into his own pockets and sent the provisions and eatables to the camp where they were spread before the convicts.
 It is safe to hazard the statement that these convicts have warm place in their hearts for Dr. Bragg.
