AMUSE MENTS.
East Lake Casino.

Weather conditions were favorable for
one of the largest crowds of the season
at the East Lake casino last night. The
street car service was also considerably
improved over that of Monday night.
The evening at the park resort was a
success in every respect.
Early and Late again captivated the
audience with their speciality work. Both
present fine stage appearance and both
are singers who have voices to back up
what the programme says about them.
Just Enough of Everything IS the name
of their act, but 1t is a misnomer II the
applause last night counts for anything.
The audience did not think they had been
on the stage long enough when the final
curtain was run. and encore after en-
core reverberated throughout the house
Rogers and Clifton continue to please
In the mystefying act, and one would
have to go far to find a better nstru-
mentalist and dancer than Miss Jennie
DeWeese. Phillips and Farlardeau in
"Her First Rehearsal" furnish twenty
minutes of rare fun. The motion pic
lures have already scored heavily. There
will be a matinee today. The same bill
runs the rest of the week.

A NOVEL SCHEME
COMES TO LIGHT
A MAN PASSES HIMSELF OFF AS
A JEWELER AND SECURES FINE
WATCH, WHICH IS LATER RE.
COVERED BY THE OWNER

A smooth scheme, by which 93-jeweled
gold watch was secured, has just come to
light.
About a week ago, ]. H. stallings, sec
ton foreman of the Alabama Great South
ern railroad at Collinsvllle Ala, dropped
his watch and broke it, He decided to
send his watch to Birmingham for repairs
and delivered it to d. r. Williamson. a
newsboy on the Alabama Great Southern.
to take to f. w. Bromberg the official
time regulator of the road.
On reaching Birmingham, Mr.. William
son. with the watch in his possession
started out to look for the jeweler and
stopped with friend to get a bottle of
beer While in the saloon, he asked a
negro who was hopping up the floor to
direct him to the store of Mr.. Bromberg
The negro, it is said, stated that he would
take Williamson there, and stepped out of
the door. When Williamson and his friend
came out few minutes later the negro
stepped up with a white man whom he
introduced as Mr.. Bromberg Mr.. vii
hanson says that he was slightly sus-
picious and asked several times If he were
Mr.. Bromberg, the jeweler. The stranger
each time said that he was, and finally
the watch was turned over 10 him, and he
promised to return 1t to Mr.. Stallngs as
soon as it could be repaired
After waiting several days and not hear
ing anything from his watch the owner
became nervous and finally learned that
1t had never been delivered to Mr. Brom-
berg On hearing Mr.. Wilamson's story,
both of the gentlemen in question went To
police headquarters, and after a short
search located the time-piece in a pawn
shop, and got full description of the
man who left 1t there. The police are
searching for him now.
The facts In the matter were learned
yesterday from Mr.. Williamson and Mr..

GREEK WRESTLER
GETS IN TROUBLE
SAID TO HAVE SLAPPED A WHITE
BOY WHO WAS RlDlcULlNG HIM,
AND WAS PLACED UNDER Ar
REsT-cRoWD GATHERED.

William Demetral, the Green demon,
fell into the clutches of the law last night
and was carried to the city jail. where
he was charged with dsordery conduct
and assault and battery.
1t seems that while the wrestler was
walking down Nineteenth street with
some friends. George Howard small
white boy. ran alongside and attempted
to make fun of him, initiating to the
best of his ability the dialet of the fruit
vendors and crying out bananas and 9TH
er fruits which are associated IN the pop
ular mind with worthy members of the
Greek colony here.
1t is supposed that the big fellow was
not in the best of humor anyway. At
any rate. it is alleged that he lost his
temperor and slapped the boy. A large
crowd of indignant Americans rapidly
gathered and a miniature riot was threat
'ened when number of Greeks came up
on the scene also TIE famous demon
was caught and held by some of the by
ISLANDERS until officer Walker. who was
nearby. could arrive and place him under
arrest.
Being near the police station, the officer
walked the prisoner in, and the crowd fell
in behind. When the concourse reached
the alley in which the city Jail is located
1t had grown TO such proportions that
all could not crowd in, and finally an
officer was forced to drive them back
with his club.
Friends of Demetral made his bond at
once and he was permitted to go without
being locked up. His case will be called

church-It Means an Ex-
penditure of $4,000.

The building occupying the site secured
for the new Five Points Methodist church
are being razed to the ground preparatory
to the commencement of work on the edi-
fee. As only one-story building oecu-
pied the site and comparatively little work
is necessary to clear It away.
The church, as has already been stated,
has accepted the plans of J. Thornton
Marye, the Atlanta architect. who planned
the new Union passenger station being
erected in Birmingham. Bids have been
advertised for and they will be opened
August q. When the contract is awarded
the work will commence on the actual
construction of the building
The main auditorium will seat about 1000
people and underneath it will be the sun
day school room with a large seating ca
pacity. The Sunday school room will DO
lighted, well ventilated and very attrac-
tive In every way. The church will be so
constructed that a Sunday school room
can be built on the rear of the property
at any time in the future that it may
seem desirable.
The lot, which cost $4,000, faces 80 feet
on the Five Points Circle, runs back 1873
feet on Eleventh avenue, 213 feet on Mag
nolia avenue and 225 feet on the alley, so
that 1t is open in all directions and no
other buildings can be constructed close
to It,
The edfice will cost $4,000 exclusive of
the lot, organ and furnishings. which will
run the total cost up to about $4,000. The
building will be constructed of a light
grey brick and trimmed in terra Gotta
with tile roof. The architecture is to
be in the Spanish renaissance style.
In speaking of the church last night the
pastor the Rev. j. II. Mccoy, said that
it would be a very artistic structure,
thoroughly modern in all its appointments,
well arranged and quite an addition to
that section of the city
The members of the congregation expect
to occupy the church within a year from
the present time.
When the Five Points Methodist church
and the Southside Baptist church are
completed in the same neighborhood, two
of the handsomest churches in the city
will be either on or near the Five Points
Circle. The Southeside Baptist church has
purchased the property bounded by
Eleventh avenue, Nineteenth street and
| alley which runs diagonally through the
block from the corner or Nineteenth street
and Eleventh avenue to Eighteenth street
and Tenth aVenl1e n will araot q ob,,rat,
on that property costing more than 5000.

cHEHoos BREAK RECORD.
Local Tribe of Red Men Initiated
Twenty-three Last Night.

The Chehoo Tribes of Redmen had a
'howling' time last night in their hall
on First avenue.
Twenty-three unsophisticated pale-faces
had the audacty to present themselves
for Initiation into the mysteries of the
order. From all that could be learned by
listening at the street corner a half a
block away they were duly Initiated 1t
is not known by outsiders exactly what
form the imitation ceremonies took, but
from the appearance of the men who
rode the goat it is though that they got
something that is suggested by their num-
Der 90
The local tribe is very proud of last
nights record, claiming that it is the
largest initiation that ever took place in
any one night.
