with sticks and nondescripts and tho performance would be well worth the price of admission
 The young woman Is slender, grace ful and winsome and best of all she knows how to set. Everything she does is done SO spontaneously and so winsomely that one doesn't think she IS doing 1t at all for the money there Is in it. She looks like she had rather go right out there and have a good time on the stage than do anything else in the world. and the audience doesn't enjoy 1t half as much as she does. Of the many good things she does. the best is her mimicry of such tage favorites as George Conan, Anna Held, Ethel Levy. Eddie Foy and others. But she has to be seen to be appreciat- ed. If the local theatre goers do not go uot there and see her they will miss the best thing that will be at the Park this summer.
 And Miss Hoffman was only a part of tine show There was 'Slivers' Oak ley Somebody had told the audience that ''Slivers" was good and when he came out he got the glad hand. Who ever told the audience about 1t gave a straight tip. "Slivers' was very good He is a pantominist of the first rank. pantomine is all but a dead art on the paodern American stage, but "Slivers" shows how funny 1t can be done, when 1t Is done intelligently and naturally. His first act was a burlesQua on A baseball catcher, done without a word spoken. But for that matter he never uttered a word during the evening. This baseball act is as funny a thing as a local audience ever laughed at The airs and graces of 2 professional baae-. ball player in action were struck of to the dottlng of all the Is and the crossing of all the T's. But in every thing he did oakley make a decided hit
 The Otto Brothers did a Webber and Fields act that was ridiculously funny They threw ginger and enthusiasm Into their work and the audience their business. Tn the musical me- Ienge which wound up the show the two had good parts and the audience got bushel of laughs out of them.
 The Dolly sisters. song and dance wo- men, did their work with such spirit and abandon that the audience was im- pelled to give them ercores. In addi- tion to being clever they are pretty. They ornament the stage quite nicely.
 The last half of the performance IS given over to a sort of musical comedy and a good one. too. chorus Is along with the show. a remarkably pretty and well dressed chorus. The costumes must have cost tidy sum. @ It was unusual to see such costumes with summer company But even more unusual was the evident training the chorus had rs- ceived. All were sprightly and enthu- s'astlc about their work and they went about the dancing and singing with vim and enthusiasm.
 No notice of the performance could he adequate that did not have some thing about the intelligence and the cieverness of Tony Hart. not only .n his monoloEue, but in his comedy part In the wind up feature,
 It Is sufficient to repeat that the corp- pany gives the best summer perform- ance ever seen ir Montgomery. The theatregoer who misses 1t will miss the summer.
 It was a record breaking audience. as well as a record breaking performances.

RAILROAD GETS INJUNCTION.
Prevents the Reduction of PnSseng
 Enrea In TeXna.

Dallas. Texas, June 25.--Judge Am Grew P. Mccormick of the United States Circuit Court, today issued an order restraining the Railroad Commission of Texas from enforcing its order, promul- gated May s.. to reduce passenger fares on the Houston and Texas Central Rail road from cents a mile to 1-2 cents. The restraining s order will hold good until July 16. at which time Judge Maxey or some other Judge of the United states shall hear the complain ants petition for a temporary injunc- ti'n.
 The Railroad Commission further asks that upon a final hearing in the case of the Cor missions rates, both freigh. and passenger, shall be perpet- ually enjoined. The practice differs materially from that observed in the original injunction against the Texas Commission In 1891 ard the second in junction in 1899. upon both of which occasions all the rates were enjoiped pending judicial determination of the cases.
 The Houston and Central alleges in it's bill that the proposed deprivation of revenues as conflscatory, and fur thermore that it is discriminatory. If again urges that Commissioner Col auitt is disqualified because it is aI- legged he declared in advance of the hearing that the rates on this :oad should be reduced.
 It Is also alleged that when the or der in question was adopted Commits sioners Story and Colquitt were absent at the time the order was promulgated that Mayhcld signed Coluuttts name by request. but had no legal right to do SO as one Commissioner cannot dele gate authority to aEother

At this state of the meeting a num- Der of the Aldermen were noticed look ing futively at the clock. Alderman Tait had half risen in his seat to make a motion to adjourn. when AL derman Holloway suddenly bethought himself of the letter he had shelvcd from the course of business at the be- ginning of the meeting. The myster- ious document which had created so much alarm was opened and read by Clerk Farley Instead of being the bomb which had been anticipated, however, 1t was merely an humble pe- tition from certain rsidents on Mill street, stating that the sisners had been within the city two years and had never been given any of the im- provements which the City Council is showerlng with so lavish q hand upon the other portions of the city. The petitioners asked for the estab- lishment of a street light and for the extension of the water mains to their neighborhood.
 The matter was referred to com mittee. and the council adjourned at l1:l5 o'clock

MET DEATH AT PARK

<.,,,ctx oovvn by Unknown Person n crowd. of Blacks al Resort
 and Died on
 Street Cur.

With three knife wounds in ms throa' pa, Johnny Mann, a negro bartenders as sistant who has been employed at Ea Seniors Saloon on Commerce street. was found at. the entrance 10 the oShc ing pavilion af Washington Fark last night about l0;3O o'clock. He was still alive, but died while being taken to the city on a street car without he- ing able to tell who was his assailant.
 No one could be found who had seen the fight in which the negro had been killed and 1t was not until after ne was taken to Court Square that he was identified by some of his friends m the crowd of negroes which gathered
 Special o6icers Payne and Swearin- gen were sent to the park on the next car to make a search for the murderer or for some clue which would lead to his arsst.
 The body of the dead negro was taken from the car which was impro- vfasd as an ambulance and laid on the wal aaround the Court Square foun- tain. laid there for about thirty minutes When it was removed to the undertaking establishment of H. A. Loveless. under the orders of Coroner W. H. Tice, who will hold an inquest this morning at 9 o'clock.
 While the body was stretched on the pavement with it's clothing soaked in clotted blood, scores of negroes and white people pressed through the crowd which at one time numbered sev- eral hundred'to get view and to gape at the open wounds The suit of over alls which the negro was wearing were soaked through and all of his clothing that had been white was dyed red with blood.
 More than 1000 negroes were at Washington Park last night but not one of them could be found who saw an altercation between Mann and the person who killed him.

FINE SHOW AT CASINO.
Great Audience AstOnished At Excel
 lence of Hoffman Company.

Great Audience AstOnished At Excel
 fence of Hoffman Company.
 Manager Neal, during the summer. may have better shows at the Electric Park Casino than Max Hoffman's com pany which began its weeks engage ment last night but nobody who saw the show in its first performance be- lleves 1t. It is the best summer show ever seen in Montgomery.
 The biggest audience of the season witnessed the opening performance but as big as the audience was 1t was hardly worthy of the performance so clean, so bright and so attractive as 1t was. If the baseball editor was writing the mo- tice he might compare the company to the baseball pitcher who wins a no-hit game and who has everything. speed, curves and control"
 There was nothing weak in the per fcrmance from the rising of the cur tain until the going down of the same. What the company does is all vaude- vile, but it's the finest sort of vaude- vile. And what some of those people are doing, travelling this far from Broadway, with a summer show at summer show salaries nobody can un- derstand.
 There is Gertrude Hoffman for in stance The woman is an artist Poor CT performers than this Hoffman wo- man have gone around the winter cir- cult with their names stuck on bill boards in printed letters three feet high. A star at the head of nrst class company, charging from g. down that's her proper sphere.
 There Is a theatrical story about young woman in the chorus who was not thought to be important enough to have her name printed on the pro- gram. But Fhe was so fresh SO youth full. so spontaneous in all that she had to do. in her limited work that the New York critics unanimously singled her out They united in praising thls unknown young woman as the Girl in Lavender" WhereupOn the young woman appreciating her own impor- tance quit the chorus and achieved success with her own company as The Girl In Lavender" The Girl In Lav- ondcr" happened to be Miss Gertrude Hoffman. Those who saw her per fornance are willing to aver that the New York critics who singled her out knew their business.
 Now the Montgomery audience that saw Miss Hoffman at the Casino last night did not know anything about this, n5r did they know that Miss Hoffman is one of the cleverest performers in her hne on the contemporary stage. The greater part Of the audience had prob ably never heard of Miss Hoffman, but before the evening was over 1t was wildly applauding her and enjoying one nf the finest vaudeville acts over put on in Montgomery on a summer stage. If the management saw fit to do it. II could nut on one act of Mss Hoff- mans and i'll the rest of the evening

MAKING MAPLE SUGAR.
The MOdern Way and the Crude
Methods of Early Days,

The sugar season opens busy in.
dustry In Maine. New Hampshire and
Vermont. Buckets are loaded on to
the OK sleds, boxes of spiles aud axes,
and away 70 the sugar orchard.
Sugar making nowadays is science.
Only In the extreme rural sections stll
remain the wooden buckets and cedar
splles, but there Is still sugar
warmth, a bursting of healthy joy that
breaks forth just as the swelling buds
On the naples.
No longer are there the crude meth.
DDS of an open fire, Of the kettles
strung on green forked poles. Pos
ably sugar making has lost some of
lis genuine SAVIOR in the modern eyapO-
ratios, but the prOduct-and its COM
mercial feature Is of all Importance
ls finer grained, Of purer color, freer
from bits Of bark and other foreign
refuse.
Important changes IN the sugar in
dustry have lessened the work Of the
farmer. In the early days wooden
buckets and handmade cedar spileS
were used. That made bother In the
orchard, for the bucket had 10 bc
placed on the ground, and the Spite
could not he far above ii else the wind
would blow the sap TO one side aud
thus waste II.
As the snow meted the spiles had TO
be drawn, new holes nearer the ground
made and the bucket replaced.
Nowadays the spiles are Of metal and
the pals are hung ON them. The evap-
orator is a sample of the rapid strides
IN sugar making facilities. The mod
ern orchard has tin or galvanized pals
and metal spiles.
Occasionally tree runs bucket
full every fair day during the season.

general run is about half that amount,

Jackson is also survived by one
brother. Charles Fl. Jackson. well
known travelling man of Waukeg an,

the Jackson family.
The deceased had been closely con-
nected with the fraternal and benevo-
lent organizations of the city. He
was member of the Blue Lodge and
the Chapter of the Kenosha Lodge OF
Masons and had taken great deal of
interest in the work of the order IN
Kenosha. He was one of the prime
leaders in the movement to secure the
erection of a Masonic Temple in Ke-
nosha and he gave largely to the en-
terprise. He was one Of the charter

several clubs in Chicago and Mil

among the pushing, workingsmen of
the city will be hard one to fill.
