the coming appearance of Madame Nordl- ca in this city at the Jefferson theatre on the evening of January 24. It is with out doubt a rare opportunity Tor the people of Birmingham and surrounding towns to be able to hear this celebrity, and it is also worth special mention, that the Rice bureau, under whose man agement the great singer VIII appear here. has arranged scale of prices which places the performance "iehin reach of everybody.
 As the theatre will probably be taxed to it's full capacity to accommodate the crowd every precaution is being taken by the management to handle the advance sale of tickets with as little inconven- fence as possible to those who desire to secure seats The advance sale will be handled at the Seals Piano store, 2017 First avenue. beginning at O clock, on the morning of January l6.
 In order to facilitate matters for peo- nle out of Birmingham, and also for those in the city who may be unable to attend the opening, special mail orders will be received by the Rice bureau in care of the Seals Piano store at any time after January g. These mail orders will be given attention as soon as received, and seats marked off according to the request of the party ordering and prompt ly mailed back. The bureau states. how ever, that no tickets can be held for anyone, and that mail orders will only be honored when accompanied by money It is also stated that no seats can be reserved by telephone. Another precau- ti9> which will be taken by the bureau for the protection of the public will be the enforcement of their usual rule not allowing any person to buy more than ten tickets. unless they be bought ex- pressly for social party This rule has been inaugurated to prevent speculators from buying the tickets and selling them at premium to those who may not be fortunate enough to secure seats early. It Is hoped that this precaution may serve

Nat M. Wills.

Broadhurst and Currie's latest musical production, "A Lucky Dog which serves as starring vehicle for Nat M. Wills, will begin weeks engagement at the Bijou tomorrow night.
 Herbert Dalton, avaricious and design ing, has stolen sacred ring. known as the Ring of Desire, from the finger of the Goddess Seva in a Buddhist temple in India. He is pursued to America by the high priests emmisary, Lal Chunder, and two of his followers, who are bound by their fath to find the stolen ring restore it to the goddess and punish the thief with an everlasting plague

 From the moment he thus gains pos session of the charmed ring his slightest wish is instantly granted though he. is unconscious of the fact that the ring is the cause of it all.
 The complications. that arise are many, and the author, Mark F. Swan, has clev- erly devised nlirth-provoking situations following each other in rapid succession throughout the three acts of the play, while Nat Wills has not lost sight of a single opportunity to make laugh by >-~-~>>--->~~~~~

gument finally centered itself on that point

not beaten me on argumentative theory, re-
solved that [ wouldn't be beaten on record, if
could help it. [ acted on their suggestion to
write the Journal editor to prove my case
You can realize what consolation it was to
read the reply.

the Gentiles and glory to thy people, Israel"

Mr. Watson, trust the time will come when
there will be universal recognition of your
services to the people. Personally, appre-
ciate most highly your vindication of popular
rights, and | hope, that you may live long
to receive the gratitude of appreciative people.

The South Carolina Commission and the

If you are not enjoying good health
it is your own fault, as "Dewberry's
Delight" is within the reach Of every
one, as those who are really not able
to buy a bottle can get a trial bottle
free of charge by calling or writing

"Dewberry's Delight" is just what
you need at this season of the year
to remove that foul waste matter from
the system, so you can sleep and
rest, which is the only way you can
restore the nerve force, by good sound
sleep. So you see how essential it
is to keep the liver, bowels and kid

of waste matter which obstructs the
nerve force and paves the way for all
diseases.

OF the awful wreck on one Of those very roads.
IA train load OF passengers, going at terrific
speed and rushing into defective switch; then
shattered train, and scene of suffering and
death which beggarS description. Some thr-
ty-hVe people killed outright and those were
the victims which suffered least Of those
who were scalded whose flesh was cooked in
the boiling water, whose skins peeled off
when their clothes were removed-who can
tell the agony?
Think of this:
One passenger was eating at a corner table !;
the wreck came; the hot water tanks poured
their contents over him; brave rescuers drag
ged him from under the scaldng steam; he
murmured, Thank God" and died
And it might just as we'll have been me, or
you; my wife Or yours; my child, or yours!
1t is liable to happen to any of us that travel
en- the Railroads.
And at the very time this defective switch
was sending thirty-ive men to sudden death
i'll California, the President of the road was
in New York busy at his old trick of watering
the stock!
Why shouldn't criminals like F. H. Harri-
man be sent to the galloWs for murders oc-
casioned by his Criminal Negligence?
Why should Emerson and Finley be immune
from prosecution? They are quick enough to
jerk up some little felow-some signal man,
or train dispatcher make scapegoat of
him; why shouldn't the real criminals be pun
ished? The real murderers, in the sight of a
just God, are the managers and chief owners
of the roads who refuse to obey the law, and
thus cause these awful losses of human life

sample of the only reason for which
nominations are made make one feel

Frostburg We're not incorporated.
This forestalllng the appointments to
be made by Mayor and Council precludes
all other citizens of the town, who would
make good officers, from an opportunity
of obtaining appointment to these posi-

And who are these persons that run
our town affairs: Heavy taxpayers
No; they take many times more from
the town funds than they would pay

What difference does it make to the
taxpayers of the town who are TaX-Cul-

4 Real Curiosity.

Crossing the South Branch river, w.
Va, recently. driving "A herd of cattle,
William Engle, of this place, saw lying
on the bottom of the ford what he
thought was large turtle. Reaching
down and grasping it with a view to
capture, he found it to be petrified, but
with all the distinct marks, on carapaX
and pllStrOn, of the tortoise family. 1t
weighs 30 pounds, and is curiosity in
the way of petrifactiOn.
A. Lincoln Mckenzie brought it to the
JOURNAL Wednesday, denominatiug it as
gift to the great paper i'll the way of
paperweight, but expressed decidedly
his opinion that it is not a turtle and
never was. He says it is manifestly an
extra terrestrial formation, which means
that it is of ornamental origin. He be-
lieveS that it conforms to shapes that
prevail upon the planet Mars, probably
Herschel, possibly Neptune; that it flew
off into space and falling within the
earth's orbit, landed in the South
Branch, fortunately miSsingC
by several miles.
The next, negative question for de-
bate, therefore, iS-whether it is I'M
wise to consider this turtle as of native
origin insofar as it is not certain that it
is of alien embryo,
