First aid to Miss Abott is Signor Ed Castellano whirlwind operatic tenor, truly second Caruso, over whom all the world raves. His principal numbers will be the beautiful aria, "Cielo 10 Mar" from La Gioconda," and Una Furtiva La grima," from ''L'Elisir dAmore,' two of the most remarkable arias ever written for the tenor voice.
 Completing the trio of principals is Miss Ada Sassoli, without peer to-day in the world as solo harprist, and enthusiasti cally welcomed by audiences everywhere.
 A feature absolutely unique in concert work is the accompaniment of all songs of Miss Abott and MT. Castellano by sextette of stringed instruments from the famous Philharmonic society, New York, as aid and supplement to the piano, this combination forming 8 background rich, velvety and wonderful in its support.
 The Bessie Abott concert company has been declared by the critics of ten cities, within the last two weeks, to be the finest all around concert organization in the field, and costly though it be to maintain, comes to Birmingham feeling confident there are sufficient music lovers in the city to give it the support 1t de- serves. Of one thing we are certain that every person who fails to be present to- night for this concert of grand opera se- lectitons will be the loser and will censure himself tomorrow.

Atlanta, October 15.--(Special.) )-Should the railroad commission be called upon to make answer to the suit of the Cen tral of Georgia railway company for permanent injunction to prevent the en- forcement of the 21a-cent passenger rate, as it would have to do in the event of an unfavorabe decision from Judge Newman in the matter of the demurrer which was recently argued, it is not un- likely that in answer 1t would file cer- tain evidence which the railroad com pany itself submitted to the commission as a reason why the rate should not be enforced
 This evidence comes from report of the operations of the Central of Georgia for the fiscal year ending June 20, 1907. The report shows that during the year following the inauguration of interchange able mileage booksc at PIE cents, the CentraPs increase in passenger earnings from these mileage books at 21s cents was $2Sl, ,03O47, while the decreased earnings from the sale of local tickets at 3 cents was s10,5o672, making net increase evil dently due to the use of mileage books alone, s160 52S.75. The total increase in passenger earnings for the year was Slg0. 49034 which allows about s30 900 to other sources.
 Discussing this feature of the Central s report today member of the railroad commission remarked that this did not look very much as if the 21a-cent pas senger rate meant confiscation, when It showed returns where put in voluntarily.

INJUNCTION ISSUED.
Creditor of South Carolina Dispensary
 Wants His Money.

Atlanta October 15.-A special to the Journal from Columbia, s. C. says
 Judge Pritchard of the federal court today issued a sweeping injunction re- straning the state commission from wind ing up the affairs of the state dispensary or paying out any money belonging to it. The injunction ties up about s750, 900 which the commission has on hand for the payment of claims against the dis pensary. The injunction was secured by a wine firm of Weldon N. C., who have small claims against the state dis pensary, who applied for writ of man damus to compel the commission ap- pointed by Governor Ansef to wind up the affairs of the dispensary, to pay their claims, and meantime the commis- sion is enjoined from paying out any money on other claims

Musical director and accompanist for this excel lent organization will be Mir. Arthur Rosenstein of New York City.
 Flushed with a six-day triumph, such as comes to few musical humans, and such as exceeded her expectations. Bessie Abott prima donna soprano of the Con rled Metropolitan Opera company New York. and favorite star at Atlanta S last May festival comes again into the southland the head of her own company of ten artists, Miss Abott opened in Troy, N. Y. her present concert, tour, which is to extend over 35 cities. and since then has appeared successively in Buffalo, Cleveland. Cincinnati and Lex ! ington. In each of these cities the critics and public came skeptical of the powers of this new vocal star and in every case their skeptcism has been turned
 into enthusiasm.
 In each of these cites also Miss Abott opened the local music season. and in each case the critics expressed fear that the high standard of her performance and programme could not be maintained throughout the season. One of the most beautiful tributes ever paid the great singer came from Archie l.. Bell of the Cleveland Press:: Miss Abott's singing 1 reminded me of the fairy tale of tho beautiful little girl who was so kind and gentle in her speech that her lips dropped { pearls and diamonds every time she spoke. Her voice is liquid gold It is fresh as spring bloom, brilliant as noon. Of her tenor, Sgnor Ed Castellano. the most surprising euoges have been ut tered the Buffalo Currier asserting with out reserve: "Castellano has been com pared to the great Caruso, whom all the world adores. We say Caruso may we'll feel complmented. It was splendid to hear that marvellous voice and that volume of vast, ravishing song envelop- ing the great hall"
 As for little Sassoli, exploited into fame by Madame Meba, the critics have praised the beauty of her harp playing. r. E. Allen of the Cleveland Plain Dealer said Surprising were the dig nifty and spirit which she breathed into the doughty Bach Gavotte. The old can tor himself would have ripped slow and stately measure had his white wigeed self been present"
 Finally the instrumental sextettc, which, with piano. supplies all the accompani- ments to the songs of Miss Abott and Mir Castellano, has been commented upon as a distinctive and refreshing fea- ture of the programme.

At the Gayety this week. the manage ment of this popular place of amusement promises the largest and best attraction in the burlesque field It is the Golden Crook company. It is not only better than all others. but different. for in fact it is more of spectacle than the ordi- nary buresque show. The Boston Post says: 'The Golden Crook Extravaganza company is more of a comic opera than the shows usually seen in the burlesque houses. The chorus is composed of 30 well trained voices and with the special scenery which is in the spectacular cate gory, with wonderful electrical effects, makes one of the most glorious sights ever witnessed on the stage"

HAYWOOD Trial Will Be Long.

Boise, Idaho.-It is conceded that
the introduction of evidence for the
state in the Haywood case, and espe-
cially the testimony Of Orchard, will
be contested at every point. This will
mean probably that the state will not
be able to conclude under three weeks
or possibly 80 days. The case for the
defense will take equally as long. 1t
may therefore be estimated that the
case will last 60 days after the open
ing. Sixteen days of actual work
have been spent in the effort to Sc
cure a jury. Counting the adjourn
ments the case has now been going
ON one month.

WOULD GUST KENosHA MAYOR.
Civic Federation Charges Illegal
Transfer of Saloon Licenses.

Kenosha.-The Kenosha Civic Fed
GRAFTON has caused something of a
sensation in high places in Kenosha
by the efforts made by the directors
of the federation to have Mayor Cor
man and members of the common
council prosecuted under the state
law for malfeasance in Office. The
matter has been laid before District
Attorney Baker, and he has declared
that if formal complaint is made by
the directors of the federation he will
insist on the prosecution of every
man connected with the council.
The prosecutions are to be based on
the action of the city council in trans
ferring saloon licenses. There has
been a grand rush among the saloon
men of that city in the last few weeks
to get saloons opened before the new
ordinance limiting the number of
grogshops went into effect and to this
end many have sought to have IL
censes transferred from one place to
another. The federation a week ago
sent to the council a formal complaint
against such transfers, alleging that
the supreme court of the state had
held that such action on the part of
the council was unlawful.
1t is claimed that members of the
council pledged themselves not to
take any steps to make further trans
fers, but at the meeting of the council
a transfer was granted
