 The pair of skaters are said to be un- usually clever. The bulk of the work falls to the lot of MT. McLallen. He does all the fancy tricks known to the skat- ing world and does them all well. His buck and wing dancing upon a pedestal six feet above the floor is his most diff cu.. feat and is used as the finale of his act He does some very graceful and semeingly almost impossible dancing from this elevated position and keeps the au- dience in -wracking suspense, for it seems every minute that he is sure to make the slight slip that would undoubt- edIy put him down and out

Mayors Order.

Birmingham. July 3l. 1907. Hon. E. D. Smith, City Attorney, City: Dear slr-1n order that the public may have q clear conception of It's rights when trading with ice delivery companies. please send me a written opinion on the following propositon:
 Whether an ice company or an lee de- livery company is compelled under the law to make delivery of ice to all per sons indiscrminately or whether such company may select it's own customers and deliver to them when and as 1t pleases."
 l believe that misapprehension on the part of the people in regard to the city's authority over private corporations ia tending to make some of our citizens more oxactlng than they would otherwise be, and to call on us to remedy matters that must necessarily be adjusted between themselves and the dealers.
 There Is, of course, no question about our power to punish for short weights, which we will continue to do vigorously on proof. Very respectfully,
