ADJUSTMENTS.
"BroWn of Harvard.n

Brown of Harvard" is one of the best college plays yet produced on the Amer ican stage It's popularity is attested by q long run in the east befort it was brought to Birmingham. The pleasure which it gave to Birmingham theatre goers at the Jefferson theatre last night was unmistakable. The play reproduces college life and college scenes vivdly, and in a manner that is singularly int- mate. The Harvard atmosphere is strong in every incident, and the more delight ful aspects of college life-its youth and buoyancy and love-making-are perfectly portrayed.
 Henry Woodruff is ideally fitted for the leading role. He suits the environment in which he is cast and his art all through the play is admirable. He is just the sort of chap that college men have known and other people have imagined. The supporting company was in every way worthy of the star. Several fine bits of character acting added a great deal to the effectiveness of the play. Frederick For rester as Gerald Thorne, Gordon John stone as Wilfred Kenyon, the dupe; J. C. King as Victor Colton, the villain; Helena Byrne as Marian Thorne, and Louis Haines as Hubby Anderson were all capable.
 The play was finely staged, depicting III succession Browns rooms at Harvard. the campus. the boat house and again Browns quarters, resplendent in college trappings and trophies the personal prop erty of MT. Woodruff, and used by him while q student at Harvard The boat race was not brought before the audience, but it was exciting, nevertheless. Many delightful bits of comedy made the play enjoyable, and the story was absorbing.

Keep Your
 Bowels Open

It is noticeable fact, and one which any doctor will verify that people who suffer most often from disease are the ones who have the most difficulty in keeping their bowels open. Regular bowel action is half the battle of health.
 People who have a tendency to con- ,tipation must of necessity use something to help nature along. This should not be violent aid like salts or purgative waters. cathartic pills or powders, but a syrup liquid that will oil the intestines aud membranes that 1t comes in contact with. Children, women and weak people generally should never be given a strong phys as it weakens the system.

STRIKERS MUST

THE LOUISVILLE RAILWAY CON- PANY DECLINES TO CONSIDER ANY PROPOSITION FROM THE UNION EMPLOYES.
% O'Clock Every Day.

Louisville, Ky, November 19.-The Louisville Railway company this evening issued d reply to proposition made by the striking union employees. President T. J. Minary, in his answer to the pro- posal of the men for a resumption of work on the old basis with an arbitra- tion agreement added to the former agreement, stated that he would not treat with any committee representing the strikers. He said the company would consider the applications of any of the old employees for work as individuals.

68,142 CARS WERE MOVED LAST MONTH Car Service Report Shows
 Some Big Gains FIGURES FOR THE MONTH Every Month This Year Except Feb ruary Shows Gain Over the
 Same Month for 1906.
 Business Holds Up.
FIGURES FOR THE MONTH

The October, 1907. report of the Alabama Car Service association, which will be issued within the next few days, will show that during last month the rail- roads of the state handled 4O36 more cars than during October last year.
 Last month the railroads of the state handled 6S,142 cars. During October, 1906, the number handled was 64,106.
 The increase of October this year over October last is considered by the officers of the association a healthy one. The average monthly increase, however, for the 10 months of this year over the same 10 of last year is larger, amounting to 6172 3-5. The average monthly gain of this year is considered excellent, and an excellent index of the activity in busi- ness circles.
 In every month this year, with the sin gle exception of February, the railroads of the state handled more cars than dur ing the corresponding month of last year. The railroads of the state for the first 10 months of this year handled 67S,6l4 cars, as against 6l6,SSS during the first 10 months of last year. The increase for the 10 months of this year amounts to 6l, 726. The officers of the association be- lieve that at least 5O,o00 more cars will be handled this year than last, and it IS probable that the average for the first 10 months will be maintained. While bus mess, at this time, Is not quote as active as heretofore, on account of the stress of the financial market, the railroads are better equipped with cars than they were at this period last year.
 The statement of the cars handled for the first 10 months of this year, by months, as against the first 10 months of last year follows.

he threw it away and followed the dark
streets on his way to the business dis

servation work in the neghborhood of
the robbery and happened to meet the
robbed couple soon after the deed was
committed When given description of
the robber they started in to scour the
surrounding country in hopes of locating
the highwayman.
Their efforts were soon rewarded, for
they found the Japanese shutting alone
in the dark, watching man at the inter
section of Eighteenth and Hope streets.
When arrested the Japanese took the
officers to Washington and Figueroa
streets, where he found the woman's
purse which he had thrown away.
On the way to the station the Jap

lived. When they told him he said: you
excuse me. l come your house tomor-
row. Bring you $40. Then it'll be all
right. You like that?"
The policemen laughed and pursued
their way to the station.

FINED FOR SELLING
LIQUOR TO MINORS
Police Justice Lectures Officers for
Sending Children for Strong
Drink in Order to Sc
cure Evidence

c. O. Wolff, a wholesale liquor dealer
with a store at 22OS Central avenue, was
fined 800 by Police Justice Frederickson
yesterday on a charge of selling liquor
to minors.
, In giving his decision the justice took
occasion to lecture the police depart
ment's methods in procuring evidence
where minors were concerned
He said that it was not very praise
worthy thing to persuade small boys to
go to liquor stores and buy liquor, for
they might have the desire to do it
again.
He said he did not blame the patrolmen
who were instructed to get evidence but
he thought it would be better for the
officers to LAY for the offenders.
Neighbors in the vicinity of Wolff S
saloon say that he has been in the habit
of selling liquors to boys and it was
through their complaints that the prac-
tice was discovered by the police.
