nrhe Heir to the Hoorah.v

Tonight at the Jefferson theatre The Heir to the Hoorah" will be seen for the first time in Birmingham. The play comes with an excellent reputation. Amy Leslie in the Chicago Daily News In speaking of the performance said:
 With the play produced at the Illinois last night. "The Heir to the Hoorah," comes refreshing wave of sincerity, can dor, simplicity upon which rides unbound ed, swiftly acquired wealth enough to build nation there is just enough TO- nance to balance the thrashing rough humor and as a drama 1t Is a piece of aster-carpentering much to the com mended As a splendid entertainment 1t outclasses any comedy of modern theme before the public. It teens with broad, sweet humor and sympathy; it touches exquistely many threadbare sentiments and glows with crimson sunsets and mountain snows. Not that these effects are there in plain, offensive paint, but in the heart of the story, the atmosphere of the romance and in the blunt, hearty honesty of the several millionaires who do not speak the baby talk of clviliza- ton by any means. It is all perfectly Irresistible and the delft hand and govern ing power of the late Kirke La Shelle are visible in the dispatch of occurrence the pleasantries of conversation and the evil dent blue-penciling of the original manu- script"
 The company that will present the play here is the same that played 1t in New York, Chicago. Boston and other large cities

Changes Suggested.


 Fire Chief Bennett had a short con- ference with Mayor Ward in the latter's office yesterday afternoon. The head of the fire department suggested some minor changes in the arrangement of certain fire plugs in Birmingham, which sug- gestions will probably be concurred in by the Mayor.
 Aldermen John R. Copeland and Wal ter Moore from the Fourth ward will take up the matter of purchasing a site for the proposed new fire station In Nor wood Place within the next few days. The City Council recently instructed these two aldermen to buy the lot.
 When the Norwood station is com pleted Birmingham will have total of nine fire stations, which will give this city the largest department of any city of it's size in the south. Later Station No 10, which will be located in Foun- tain Heights. will be provided for.
