Mobile, May 3o.-(Special. ITO show
that some of the leading men of Mo-
bile are not in favor OF carnival now
because the Faith ordinance was vot-
ed down and women will be allowed to
mask, two or more men honored with
appointment on the executive commit
tee OF the carnival association, one of
whom refused a place on the finance
committee. the leading committee, have
had their names withdrawn.
One of these men, who Is a pro-
gressive Mobilian, and whom the car
nivaI association would delight to have
as a worker, says the general chair
man, made the statement today (but
not for pub1ication), however, that he
stands for a great, clean carnival, or
none at all Rowdyism has prevailed
to such an extent that he is against
masking altogether and believe In
changing the nature of the carnival so

or parade in the day time and a gilt

! He believes In having a carnival for
the people and not for a few young
men who like to hear the swish of a

MobiIian says he never heard of the

than two hours before it coulI be

Movement for Greater Commercial
Club for Greater Montgomery.

The Commercial Club is on the eve
OF organizing a movement by which
II hopes to have a greater CONNER
cfal Club to adapt itself to the 100000
population that is expected by 1910.
No definite steps have yet been taken
along this line, but 1t is presumed that
an active campaign looking towards
such a contamination will be begun
very soon.
Capt A. @. Forbes, the Clubs Pres
ident, is quite sanguine over the out
look for such an organization.
Along with the slogan that Is be-
ing raised for Greater Montgomery,
he says, should go the accompanying
slogan of greater Commercial Club,
and / for one will not be satisfied un-
til our expectations in this direction
have been realized.

he came near putting Schreck out OF
the way. But there were no Spots on

two rounds in which the men stalled.
The eighteenth, nineteenth and TWEEN

not SO much science as there was slug

of Schreck.
In the middle of the twenty-fi first

According to the police 1t seems that
Captain Norman Staples, OF the Mary

steamer have been in the habit of
tipping the negro cabin helpers at
the end of each trip.
1t was the custom of Captain Staples
to give Moore. 1t was said. a 81 tip
but yesterday he curtailed the amount
to SO cents. Whether the cutting of
the tip was due to the dullness of the
summer season was not mentioned. but
Moore became highly indignant and
declined the abbreviated appreciation

down.
Moore then called all the negro

right, but finally Policeman Pistole

bunch perform through the aid of . ve~ hicle labeled Patsy in Politics.
 "The program read, The latest suc- cessful musical comedy and, though Patsy in Politics may neverf have the run that was enjoyed by 'Fiorodora' and fely others, stili everybody in the house was kept in roar of laughter for two hours and left the BiJou in the best of humors regardless of the character of grouch that may have been carried into 1t.
 There is a plot to Patsy in Politics, 1t is really unnecessary to speak or that, since it only broke out in places widely distant from each other, and the audience was kept so busy laughing at the songs and funny stunts put on that nobody had any time to worry about the plot There were a number of new songs and several old favorites we'll sung-and. after all, an old song that everybody likes sounds better than the best new song that was ever flung across the footlights.
 "BiIly Van as Patsy. the new errand boy was of course the sun around which tho many stars in the play re- volved, and, while he was all right all the time, still the honors were well divided, all the principals coming up to the mark set for them. A likely looking set of chorus girls proved that they could sing. and were acceptable in other particulars; and the use of the word string is not to be taken to mean that there was anything stringy about the chorus. There is one girl in the lot whose picture was never used in a Mellen's food advertisement. but the rest-and there are plenty of them size up in great shape A male quar- tet cut loose some old favorites and bright parodies in approved fashion, and altogether the performance was one very creditable to the BijoN.
 'Tt is a jolly, healthy play, and no doubt the S. R. O. sign will be out at every performance this week. as it was last night. The only unfortunate thing to be said of Patsy in Politics. was that 1t could not have been here some week when there have been less attractive bill at the Grand than have been prepared for this seven days. There Is a great deal more for the money than is gotten out of many high- priced shows. Patsy in Politics will be seen every night this week and at matinees this afternoon, Thursday and Saturday."
