Madame Modjeska in ~Mncbeth..

A great artiste passes forever out of the theatrical life of Montgomery Tues day night, when Helena Modjeska and her splendid company under the man agement of Jules Murphy, appears at the Montgomery Theatre in Macbeth" :" Never after that time will the oppor- tunity be presented here of seeing this distinguished and well beloved ac- tress.
 After she has visited all of the American cities which she loves best and where she Is most welcome. she will leave the stage to spend her de- clining years in quiet, following do- nestle pursuits which always have had rare attractions for her, but in which she has been able to indulge but little because of her itinerant life.
 It Is seldom that man or woman in public life seeks seclusion when at the very height of success and in the prime of power. Modjeska never had better grasp of her manifold gifts than she has now. Ha dshe 90 chosen, there are many years of theatrical ac- tivity ahead of her. But much as she loves her art, she feels an inclination to life of quiet to which she Is clearly entitled because of years of intellec- tual and well directed endeavor she expended upon the elevation of her calling, and because of the nearly un- paralleled success she won in heT chosen field.
 Montgomery pIaygoers should felic- itate themselves that they are to be permitted to extend final testimonial to this celebrated wOman-one who is called friend by Kings Queens and Presidents, but who is said to be proud of no friendship so much as she is of that of the American people at large, who have appreciated her work and before whom she considers it an honor to act.
 It is said that Mir. Murry has sur rounded Madame Modjeska with a fine company of actors.

RuraIo Bill All Right.

Colonel William F. Cody (Buffalo Bilf), has cabled from Genoa, Italy, emphatically denying the reports wide ly disseminated throughout the United States that owing to family troubles, business perplexities and failing health he Is threatened with complete collapse. and would shortly retire from the head of his famous Wild West Show, which is now en tour in Europe.
 Colonel Cody's cablegram. addressed to J. A. Bailey. General Director of the Barnum and Bailey circus, who is Colonel Cody's business partner in the Wild West Show. is as follows:
 Genoa, Italy. Monday, March 12. lSo6. "Barnum- Bailey. 25 West 34th St, N. Y.
 strongly deny reports falling health. had business and retirement. Never in life felt better and business im- mense.
 When questioned in regard to the matter, MT Bailey said:
 'I cannot imagine how the reports of Colonel Cody's illness and contem- plated retirement originated. Ger tainly there is nothing either in Colon el Cody's state of health or the suc- cess of the Wild West Show in Europe to warrant such statements. When he left New York. February Is. on the Savoie, en route for France. he was the picture of health and enthusiastic over the prospects for the season. This feeling was justified by the big busi- ness of the opening performance al Marseilles and the success of the tour since that time has been beyond all expectations.
 "Colonel Cody Is so far from retire. ment that he has already arranged with me to return to the United States with the Wild West show next No- vember and make very comprehen- sive tour of this country with an ex- hibition that will surpass anything heretofore seen in the way of Rough Riders and sensational acts of horse manship and heroism"

THE FLOOD SITUATION.
Waters of the Alabama River are Re.
 ceding.

There was little change In the flood situation in the Alabama river at Mont gomery yesterday, except for the fact that the river was observed to be grad ually lowering. The rate of decrease during the next few days, 1t is ex- pected. will become more rapid. and before the end of the week, the height of the current will be normal.
 The high tide of the flood reached Selma yesterday, and passed down the river, without doing any considerable damage to the city.
 As the waters recedes, the banks of the river are becoming covered with drift wood and logs which have caught in trees. or been sucked Into the shores by eddies. When the water stage be- comes normal again. it is expected there will be an enormous amount of this matter left along the river banks.

Miss CahiiI In AMoIly Moonshine.v


 Marie Cahill. the really true come- dienne. who Is best described as "so different from all others" will be seen at the Montgomery Theatre Monday night. in the smart musical play, Mol ly Moonshine," by Royle- Hobart -Hein, and under the management of Daniel V Arthur. ~
 Miss Cahiil comes direct from an un- usually successful run at the Liberty Theatre New York. with the same strong cast of splendid players and singers, which assisted her in obtain- ing a unanimous verdict best put in the words of The New York Herald critic {: Tt is the brightest musical comedy of the year."
 The art of Marie cahill. demonstra- ted before In Nancy Brt wn" is the most unique thing on the American stage today, Her comedy method Is without parallel for 1t is natural, quiet, almost without effort, but subtle and effective. There are scenes in Molly Moonshine" which give her an opportunity to display better than ev- CT her unquestioned versatility and which make clear and just the com ment: Molly Moonshine' is play written by clever people and acted by clever people for clever people"
 The locale of the first act is at "Heatherbanks." Henley on Thames during an afternoon entertainment giv- en by Lord Dumbgarven on the occa- sion of the annual rowing regatta. There are two acts and in the second the guests accompany their host to his country house, 'The Terraces,"' where he entertains them with an evening party in his rose pergoia
 The time of the story Is just prior ! to the breaking out of hostilities be- tween Japan and Russia, and has to do with the diplomatic relations among all nations at that time, Miss Cahill | playing woman diplomatic agent. Miss Cahill is said to have two or | three songs in Molly Moonshine'' which are fitting successors to Nancy Brown" Under the Bamboo Tree" and the Congo Love Song.:" These are ''Robinson Crusoe."

Miss George in a New Drama.

Grace George will appear at the Montgomery Theatre Friday night in
 the stage version of that fascinating novel, The Marriage of William Ashe".
 Mrs. Humphrey Wards masterwork
 She will be supported by a very strong , company-the same that appeared with her during her run at the Garrick the atre, New York,-while the play has been sumptuously mounted by her
 manager, William A. Brady.
 The story of the play moves through
 scenes of the higher social and official life of England. Lady Kitty, the central figure, is an cratic creation.
 Granted a lineage and temperament | such as hers, and all the rest may pos- sibly follow. The element of doubt concerns the premises, whether real life ever exhibits a nature with such violent contrasts, such keen intelli-
 gence coupled with apparent inability for consistent rational conduct But
 despite the strain on credulity. Lady
 Kitty is very vital person, whose sim gular career rivals the sustained and growing interest on to the end.
 The character of William Ashe is
 drawn with firm hand. There can be no doubt about the verisimilitude here, and, some critics profess that his prototype Is a certain gifted English
 statesman of today. The marriage of this keen, self-contained. tolerant statesman to the volatile and irrespon- sible Lady Kitty was bound to issue in some such developments as mako up this ahsorbingly interesting story. While these two persons hold the
 center of the stage. there are many
 others who play important parts, and
 each is marked by a strong individ- uality. Godfrey Cliffe especially, the | evil genius in Lady Kitty's life, stands
 out with lurid distinctness, the incar-
 nation of dIabolical egoism, a scoffer
 and cynic. Mrs. Ward has given us

 AThe old Homestead' Thursday.
 The great attraction which The Old Homestead" has for its audiences IS not difficult to find. It is not in its plot, for 1t has none; it is not In its love scenes, for there are none, ex- eept in the way of humorous sugges- tin; 1t Is not in the villainy that is exposed and punished. for there IS no villainy in the play worth mentioninB; but 1t is without doubt in that uncon- yentionaB domestic country life in which the most conventional and arti- ficial delight. There are no surprises in the play; 1t tells over and over again the things which everybody knows. and yet the public never tires of the story.
 The series of scenes and incidents of which the play is composed are so familiar as to call for little descrip- tion. Developed from a little sketch originally. 1t has grown into a pro- duction of large proportions. What has been added to 1t, however, is only matter of detail changed hut slight ly from year to year. In all of its es- sentials 1t Is the same homely one-act play designed only for a class of pat rons that it was supposed could appre- ciate nothing higher. but it has drawn to its support. people of all classes, of all sections of the country. The Old Homestead" Is appreciated to the same extent on the Pacific Coast as 1t is on its native hearth.
 The Cy Prime of Burt Clarke, the Eb Ganzy of Frank Knapp, the Seth Perkins of Charles Clarke, and the Aunt Matilda of Mrs. Morse are excel lent types of New England life, and brim full of humor.
 The scenic effects are promised to be complete in detail and the famous double quartette will be heard in tho old favorites and some new and eff fective numbers.
 ''The old Homestead' comes to the Montgomery Theatre Thursday night.

GOOD UNTIL THEY LEAVE.

Yesterdays News and Observer
contained another interview from a
citizen Of Henderson County in re-
gard to the many Democrats that
are leaving their party in that
County. The citizen referred TO is
MIR. III. L. Shipman, clerk in the
Labor Commissioners Office, and
who is also editor of the Henderson
vile Hustler, which by the way
seems to be hustlipg Democrats out
Of the party instead Of into the party.
This Mr.. Shipmsn claims that the
Democrats who have left their party
were only Independent Republicans
anyway, and that his party in the
County will not suffer. But else
where in this issue will be found
letter written by Mr.. Z. NJ. Ship
man, Of Henderson County, stating
that he has left the Democratic party
as he did not care to return to the
day Of Cleveland soup houses. Will
Mr.. M. L. Shipman now say that
his relative was not a Democrat
The News and Observer and others
who have been abusing the Demo-
Gratis for leaving their party, and at
the same time claiming they were
not Democrats anyway, reminds US
Of the story told in Minnesota on
an old darkey and his rabbit. It is
said that they trap the rabbits in
that State instead of shooting them.
An old darkey caught rabbit in
his trap one morning and was carry
ing him along in his hands, when
the rabbit made spring to get
away. The old darkey held tighter,
and said: "No, sir, you don't get
away, 1Or yOuSe good to eat billed,
youse good to eat stewed, and youse
good to eat anyway" The rabbit
made second attempt to get away
and succeeded and the darkey could
not overtake him, whereupon he ex-
claimed, "Go it, youseno good any, I,
way"
These Democrats in Henderson
County who have left the party were I;
good so long as they were Demo-
Gratis, but since they have left that
party they are no good in the sight
of the News and Observer and other :
Democrats.
