That the japanese school question
In San Francisco Is a trivial matter,
no one who pauses to think about the
subject will believe. The Japs. since
doing up the Russians. have develop
ed the big head and are ready to
make trouble with Uncle Sam or with
anyone else who may offer an ex,
cuse. Also they have covetous eyes
on the Philippines. and. probably. the

delighted at the chance OF fighting

influence the American government

to be believed. But II makes any

Lew Dockstader when asked by one
of New York's critics how he accounted
for his success as a minstrel impressario
replied terse1y;
Il give the public everything new each
season. IL a gag is worth telling or worth
giving 1t all, it will be remembered the
following season, and 1t loses its strength.
Time has been when thought they were
good enough for two or three seasons.
They used to be but they are not so
any longer, so l have got to spring new
things every season and / do it. / have
even discarded my own fairship, which so
successfully brought me upon the stage
for three seasons. This time have some
thing entirely different and it goes much
better than the airship. | call it the
album of minstrelsy, and | finish with a
tour in 'rubber-neck' wagon, taking my
audience with me through the streets of
New York. 1 actually show them the
streets of New York. l. do this with a
panorama of moving pictures, an entirely
new effect. 1t costs a lot of money, but

So when Dockstader appears here
everything new may be expected. He will
be here with his show on next Tuesday,

"The Wizard of o."

The tinman. the scarecrow, the comical
COW and the cowardly lion together with
the wizard. little, Dorothy Gale of Kan
sas. Cynthia Cynch and all the other di-
verting characters of THE Wizard of
o." returned to the Jefferson theatre
last night with Montgomery and stone
in the two leading comedy roles. This
edition of, the Wizard is the best and
brightest of the three which have visited
Birmingham. This fact is largely due
to the ability of Montgomery and Stone
as entertainers, but elaborate scenery
and dazzling array of pretty girls must
be taken into account. The present edition
of 1.-The Wizard of OF is not only a
beautiful extravaganza, from a spectacu-
lar point of view, but it is most enter
tanning as a comedy. Moreover, the must
cal features are without exception at
tractive, although vocal ability IS as
usual in musical plays, missing guam
tity.
Fred A. Stone as the scarecrow and
David C. Montgomery as the tinman
were responsible for much of the sue
cess which has greeted THE Wizard of
OF" wherever these clever comedians have
appeared. This Is their first visit to Bir-
mingham and they did not disappoint ex-
pectant theatregoers who had heard much
of their fame in the east. Both are eX-
ceptionally fine dancers and their jokes
were sparkling without a hint of any
thing suggestive. Their football skit made
a great hit and won enthusiastic applause
while all their dances were received with
enthusiasm.
The company is distinguished first by
comliness. The girls are not only nu-
merous but as a whole are stunning. In
fact they are so much better looking than
the average musical comedy chorus that
they rest the eyes. In the ensemble num-
bers these girls proved most pleasing, in
addition to their sprightliness in the va
rious chorus evolutions Among the prln-
cipals who distinguished themselves IN

Railway Earnings Continue to Make

Year-The February Earnings

New York. March 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Some irregularity Is noted in trade re-
ports for the past week, but not more
than is seasonable. and mercantile col
lectons are generally prompt a little
conservatism regarding forward business
in some Industries may be attributed to
high prices, although the greatest strength
appears in building material, and prepa-
rations for structural work are beyond
precedent. The few minor strikes do not
seriously interfere with progress, and thus
far the only noticeable effect of the coal
controversy is the unusually large de-
mand for this season of the year in all
fuel markets, and the disposition of small
merchants in the immediate vicinity of
the anthracite mines to allow stocks to
become depleted. Should an amicable re-
suit attend the meeting of March 10 these
dealers will provide wholesalers and man
ufacturers with much more urgent bust
ness.
There is little idle machinery in any of
the leading manufacturing industries and
contracts for distant delivery come for
ward freely except at the textile mills,
where purchases are chiefly for immedi-
ate requirements. Prices of commodities
rose slightly during February, Duns in
dex number being slOi,2Oi on March 1.
against $104,011 month ago and Sl01, 93S
year ago. Railway earnings continue to
make striking comparisons with last
years figures, the increase during Feb
ruary amounting to 249 per cent For
eign commerce at this port for the last
week showed an increase in exports of
s926.216 over the same week last year,
while imports decreased $1,695.
Seasonable conditions continue to pre-
vail in the hide market poor quality of
offerings attracting little attention, yet
prices rule fairly steady. Leather is quiet,
but steady. New England shoe shops are
concluding supplementary spring con-
tracts and new business is rather quiet,
but the situation is considered healthy.
