A pretty girl dressed in long auto

and leading "Trixie.'' which had large
merous pink roses in the harness by
which it was lead, came upon the stage
at the East Lake Casino last night and
sang a song 1t was an incidental piece
of music to the large number of songs
on the programme but 1t seemed to catch
the audience. and the girl holding the
pink ribbon which held the dog made a
distinct hit She was called on for other
songs and before the curtain rolled down
on the last act of 1.-THE Chorus Girl
Miss Adams as we'll as the pet canine of
the Wills Musical Comedy company, the
automobile coat, big hat and goggles had
completely captivated the big crowd
present En- PEASANT 1t may be well to
mention that Miss Adams takes the title
role, that of 1.-THE Chorus Girl" 1t Is
needless to say that she acquitted herself
with credit as did all the others of the
company.
w S. Wills deserves especial mem
ton for his speciality work and songs
of different kinds. He is not only a good
comedian but sings we'll and is as timber
as rag when 1t comes to contortion
work. John y. Wills never fails to make
good, and one would have to be an acute
dyspeptic not to be able to laugh at his
anecdotes
Miss Margaret Shannon sang a number
of catchy songs, and some of the inter-
poations from "Babes In Toyland' were
received with thunders of applause. The
play was well received by all present. 1t

Matthew Addy & Co.'S Cincinnati report
for tho week says:
While in comparison with the few pre-
ceding 1t the past week has seemed quiet
the situation Is unquestionably very
strong In the south the extreme short
age of labor Is becoming source of
great worry, and a number of furnaces
that have undergone repairs and are
ready and anxious to blow in, find this
impossible owing to the insufficient sup
ply of ore and fuel. Production is still
very much below the demand. and the
higher foundry grades are scarce. This
is especially true of No. 2 foundry and
No. 2 soft, which grades are absolutely
impossible for anything like prompt ship
ment. Home consumption In the south
continues at lively rate, and the mills
which are extraordinarily busy for this
season of the year. are taking a big
part of the southern output.
The Ohio furnaces are practically sold
up through the entire third quarter Most
of them are running full but are steadily
falling behindhand on shipments.
Inquiries are mostly for small lots
ranging from carloads to few hundred
tons for prompt shipment, and in many
instances come from large consumers who
failed to cover during the recent ac-
tivity, and who still seem to prefer buy
ing as the iron is needed. They are
finding this method extremely unsatis-
factory owing to the dearth of spot iron,
and are crowding the furnaces by tele-
graph and telephone to hurry shipments.
The basic and Bessemer market seems
to grow stronger each day. In the most
important sections these furnaces are
practically sold up for the balance of
the year. The little that has been avail
able during the past few days has
brought top notch prices.
Foundry and furnace coke is excep-
tionally strong and prices Arm.
Altogether the outlook is very pro-
pitious. and 1t is impossible for us to
see the remainder of 1906 through other
than rose coored glasses.

AMUSEMEN
At the Bllou.

The special matinee at the Bijou this
afternoon promises to be attended by
more women than have attended theatre
at one performance in long time in Bir-
mingham. Judging from the crowd at the
Bijou Thursday afternoon, when there was
a special matinee for women, the crowd
this afternoon will literally pack the
house.
The matinee was given because women
demanded it. They want another special
matinee when they can ask Mrs. Andre
what questions they please and get their
answers. No men will be admitted this
afternoon and the women will have free
play to ask what they will
The bill next week promises to be the
best the Bijou has had. 1t has a couple of
headline acts which are featured In all
vaudeville houses In Amerca-Brinda-
mour, the handcuff King, and Eddie Cir
ard and Jessie Gardner, two clever peo-
pie. There are several other features on
the bill which will add to its excellence.

Returning to the matter of crime in
New York, Mr.. Jerome emphasized the
statement that all things considered New
York has less crime than many other
American cities. He said that there was
strong Independent element in New
York that was working for the better
ment of the city, and that 1t was an ag
gressiye element.
Suppose there were a civic club In Blr-
mingham," he continued, land it was al
ways working for the betterment. of the
city. 1t would be constantly turning up
wrongs and airing them, making place
for betterments. That is what this inde-
pendent party in New York Is doing. We
are always turning up the evils and they
are aired to the world differently from
what they are anywhere else in the
country. Our papers are read the country
over, whereas the papers of other cities
are not nearly SO widely read. This makes
a great difference. In other words crime
committed In New York is aired all over
the world, whereas the same crime In
some other city does not gain but frae-
lion of the notoriety.
Possibilities Are Greater.
THE possibilities of crime in New York
are greater The franchises at the dis
posal of the councilmen and other officials
are worth vastly more and there is. there
fore, that much greater room for crime
and corruption.
II do not credit all the reports of de-
hatchery In New York that are printed.
Some of them are merely newspaper head
lines"
Mr.. Jerome concluded by saying that he
greatly appreciated the hospitality shown
him In the south. and that he hoped 1t
would not be his last trip, but that he
would be able to return soon He would
not discuss politics in New York. and
said that they were In such confused con
dltion that it was impossible to tell what
would happen.
