Snap" will be a cripple for life, if he recovers from the wound.
 The city marshal was notified early last night that Ali Sherrah. living just outside of the corporate limits had shot his wife in the shoulder. The particulars or result of the wound have not been learned.
 The financial crisis has not been felt here except in one small failure and all of our business houses seem to be on a firm basis. The banks have handled more than their usual business without using scrip or shutting down in any way upon their depositors. It Is rumored that we are to lose two or our passenger trains and if 1t be true 1t will be a source of great trouble and inconvenience.

WILL MAKE A TRIP
HIGH SCHOOL BOARD WILL GO
 OUT NEXT WEEK.
Itinerary Includes Jefferson. Monroe and Wilcox Counties-SchOOls to Be Located in
 January.

An itinerary for the High School Board has been arranged for next week including Jefferson. Monroe and Will cox counties. Auditor Brandon, Super intendent Gunnells and Treasurer Seed will go on the trip, and the Governor will be with them on their inspection at Leeds Monday, when the site for the new high school for Jefferson County will be gone over.
 The Governor will probably leave the Board at Birmingham and return to Montgomery. From Birmingham the members of the Board will proceed to communities in Monroe and Wilcox counties, where they will deliver edu- cational addresses. The work of the High School Board is nearly finished. and the fact that nearly every County in the State. where there is not already a State educational institution, has asked for high school and offered in- ducements for it indicates the interest of the people in the high schools.
 The sites for the location of the schools in the different counties will be decided during January. The Board IS now considering the plan of having each of the counties send delegations to Montgomery so that the matter can be gone over, and the inducements Of each community can be considered. It is believed that this is the only way that the work can be facilitated.

They Are Members Of "Maoame But terfly" Company.
 Montgomerians will be much inter- etsed to know that in the collection of pretty Geisha girls that Henry W. Savidge has provided for the opera, Madam Butterfly" which comes here on January 7 Is a young woman well known in Alabama. a daughter of Major Charles H. Lavender, formerly of Selma.
 This is Miss Will Nell Lavender, of Rome Ga, but formerly of Selma. and a daughter of Charles Lavender. a member of Wheeler's cavalry during the war between the States and for a number of years agent for the South ern Railway at Selma.
 Miss Lavender has a beautiful voice which has been cultivated, and she Is now making her first debut on the stage, to which her talent brought her. She Is to be given an ovation in Atlanta when she appears there. and will, no doubt, be honored by the presence of many from Selma when the company comes here.
 Another Southern girl. who has many friends in Alabama, where she has often visited. is Miss Ethel DuFre Houston, of Columbus. Ga. Miss Hous ton sings one of the most importa mt second parts. Both of these young women will be given a warm welcome in Montgomery.

SEASONS BUSINESS
THEATRE HAS OyERToPPED LAST
 YEARS BUSINESS. q
Arrangements Were Not Cancelled On Account Of Bad Business, But
 On Aecount Of Ex-

According to the business done by Montgomery's theatres this season the average amusement lover has not felt the effect of the allegad' financial stringency. The patronage at Mont gomery's leading theatre has been bet ter this season than ever before. In spite of the fact that there are half dozen continuous performance houses in the city, all doing a thriving busi- ness.
 The fact that "a large number of shows have been taken of the road this season Is not sdue to the falling off in patronage, as many people be- lieve, but Is due to the increased ex- penses of operating shows of all kinds. The increase in railway fares, due to an equalization of individual rates with party rates. increased cost of every article used in the show brsi- ness., in increased salaries for per fromsrs and a hundred other minor items.
 eff there has been a financial strin- gency in Montgomery we have not felt the effects of it. said MT. Samuel Hirscher, of Hirscher Brothers. yes terday. Our business has been un- usually good, and even better than it was last season. We have played as many, or more. first class attractions than we did last season. and there has been decided increase in busi- ness. Of course the opening of the new house has been of some assistance to us.
 "The musical shows that come South this year have been forced to cut orf some of the members of the chorus for the very reason, that 1t costs as much to carry a chorus girl on the road as it does the star, when 1t comes to transportation. But the musical at fractions still have the call. and none of them have quit the road yet where there was any real merit.

The Question of the Hour.

Washington Star.
 A woman going along in the dusk of a business street saw an oldish man standing before store window. He was a tall. thin man. with a student s stoop to his shoulders and the profile of a deep thinker.
 As he stood motionless and with a look of absorbed contemplation, the woman, knowing how slight a thing will recall old days and scenes. felt without knowing that the man had seen some article in the window that had set him to thinking of the past. With the instinctive of sympathy that one lonely souls always feels for another she walked by quietly so as not to dis turb his line of thought. In passing however, she glanced at the window to see if she could determine wha' had worked the charm.
 It was trousers marked down.

BALLS AND CHAINS ON
 NEW JAIL ORNAMENTS

One of the chief sub biects of comment by many people who have been looking over the new iail recently, has been the two stone balls that decorate the main entrance to the new building. These balls are about eighteen inches in diameter and chains have been carved around them in such manner as to make them very suggestive.
 Outside of the balls and chain nat are at the entrance and the chain that extends around the front of the build ing, the fact that the building Is iail would hardly be known. The win dows in front are very small. and the bars can hardly be detected from the sidewalk The chain around the front of the building is for decoration and is made of galvanized iron painted to look like stone.
 Many expressions adverse to the balls have been heard from, the many people who have been at the jail re- gently Every prisoner who goes into the place will pass between them and he cannot help from noticing them as they are placed at good viewpoint. He will be reminded immediately of what Is in store for him. Taken from a sculptors point of view. the balls and chains are all that could be expect ed of them.
