Jonesboro improvements.

The Jonesboro council has a movement
on foot to have the streets and avenues
curbed and cement sidewalks laid. and
also water works installed in the next
few months to supply the town with
water. The Birmingham Railway. Light
and Power company is now placing lights
in all the business houses and some of
the homes.
These improvements will add much to
the city of Jonesboro, and it seems to
be an assured fact that they will all be
carried out.

"Thc Chorus Lady'-A Plea.

From the Reader.
From time to time we have made note
of new dramatists who have succeeded
in writing popular American plays. Per-
haps 1t would be best to say American
dramatists who have written successful
PLAYS. For in no other way would 1t be
nossble to be inclusive in our claims. Mr.
Bronson Howard has set himself against
any deep significance attached to the
term American drama, per Sc However,
when one has heard the slang of The
Chorus Lady" it cannot be doubted that
Mr.. James Forbes. the author, has been
very close to American things theatrical.
Yet, in slightly changed form, this very
plav ran successfully in London. The
nature of the chorus girl IS practically
the same here as there, and the story,
whether American of English. has in 1T
n very wide appeal. Mr.. Forbes has
taken A new stand in his drama; comic
oneras have never held up the chorus

poets to Meet Jem Roche.
Is Willing to Wager Two to
One That He Can Win.

London, Dec. 11.-Not only has Tom
my Burns caused great surprise here
by accepting an offer for purse to box
Jack Palmer for 20 rounds in England
some time before February 7, but it is
likely that he will also keep his half
promise to meet Jem Roche of Ireland
before returning to America. This will
cause a long delay before Jack John
son of America gets a chance at the
heavyweight title.
Palmer is of Newcastle, and, while
he has figured in some good heavy
weight battles, his class was not such
as to make it thought likely that he
would receive the preference. mas
much as 1t seems certain that the men
viii get 91,500. the stipulated sum for
purse in their articles, however.
Burns is thought to be looking for some
easy money"
Jem Roche, with whom 1t was re-
garded as, practically certain that he
would first clash, has been forced to
await. another chance, but as BURNS
says he is willing to box him later he
can only bide his time. Palmer put I'D
a forfeit of $500 to bind the bout.
Roche's chief claim to recognition
arises from the fact that he has knock
ed out Charley Wilson, who in turn
knocked out Gunner Moir two years
ago, before the latter was accepted as
the heavyweight champion of England
Burns today said that he would
wager $4,000 to $1,000 that he would
stop Roche or Palmer, and thinks he
will beat the latter inside of ten
rounds. Palmer's ESQ is to be left up
as forfeit and side bet. The loser is
to get 25 per cent of the purse.

DOC WHITE MAY BE CIT"
Talk of the Initial Sac1xer Managing
Denver Bail Team.

Denver, Dec. 11.-Al1 over the
Western league circuit, the baseball
managers and directors are getting
busy in preparing for next season.
The matter of a manager is the
topic that is fitting about the Denver
baseball circles. In case Charlie
Jones can not be secured to manage
the Teddy Cubs, the choice is likely t.
fall on Doc White, the tall lanky lad
that cavorted around the initial sack
last year.
"Rick" Adams and Cassidy have
been secured by Mr.. Burke for next
year, and will rejoin the nine in the
spring. Olmstead and Lauterborn
will also be back, as will KinneaIiy.
For the outfield Huelsman and Kir-
win, two of the best of the men in
the middle west, will be added to the
Denver roster. McDonough will
again be in the catcher's box. as his
sale was as presumed a mere device
for covering him. Zalusky will also
return, giving two good catchers.
Walter Murphy will not return.

Tragic Experience of a New York
Woman Who Tried 1t.

New York, Dec. 11.-Because his wife
of two months quarreled over his de-
sire to spend his savings at his bowling
club Jacob Victor killed himself last
night. Victor. who enjoyed local rep
utation as a bowler, told his wife at
supper that his club was to bowl a
match game last night and needed his
help. She burst into tears at his desire
to spend the evening away from her.
Victor, saying that if she was tired of
married life so was he. rushed from
the room She followed him up five
flights of stairs, where he burst into
the apartments of a family he did not
know, threw open the door of the dumb
waiter and jumped in. His wife was
so close to him that she grabbed his
foot. but he kicked himself free, plung-
ing to the bottom of the shaft. He was
instantly killed.

WAGNER WANTS A YEARS REST
Hans Insists That His rheumatism
REQUIRES Him to Lay Off

Pittsburg, Dec. 11.-Pittsburg base
ball fans took chill last evening
when two prominent evening papers
announced that Hans Wagner had
asked to be excused from baseball
duty during the coming season, giving
as the reason that his rheumatism
would be eased with a whole years
rest. 1t appears, from the best au-
thority, that Wagner has notified both
Dreyfuss and Clarke of his intention
and that he intends to hold them
down to 1t.
The champion batsman of the
league has for the past two years been
bothered with rheumatism, and dur
ing series in st. Louis near the close
of the season he was shunted to first
base in order to save his right shout
der which was bothering him greatly
from rheumatism. Wagner has 1usr
returned from long hunt in Indiana
and Illinois. and it is understood his
rheumatism is hurting him badly

BOSTON HAS FL0PPED.
Went Republican After Several Years
OF Democrat Rule.

Boston. Dec. lin the closest and
hardest fought election contest which
Boston had known for many years the
city went Republican by 2,o0O votes.
Postmaster George A. Hubbard, re-
publican, defeated Mayor John r.
FITZGERALD, Democrat, who was can
didate for reelection. The revised re-
turns show the following vote cast for
mayoralty candidates: John A. Coult-
hurst, Independence League, 1851 |;
FITZGERALD. Democrat, sc, O54; Hubbard
Republican, 3S,067.
The CITY voted to license saloons by
a large majority, somewhat smaller
than in previous years, however. due
to q hard campaign on the part OF the
clergy and others in an endeaVor TO
keep the saloons out of the rsurburDs.
Two features contributed largely to
the return of a Republican mayor al
ter six years of Democratic admins
en- to the Independence League candi-
date by Democrats, and the other the
thorough investigation made by
finance commission into the anafrs at
the city hall, in which evidence has
been brought forth alleging irregular
ity in the purchasing department, and
in the granting of contracts through
which, 1t was claimed, the city had lost
hundreds of thousands of dollars. :
While the independent vote proved
sufficient to transfer the power from
one of the leading parties to the other,
it did not come anywhere near the
strength expected by those who based
their estimates on the vote in the re-
cent state campaign in which the In
league polled vote larger
than the Democratic party.
