The most important feature of the day was the alleged forced selling by prominent interests, but whose identity was not altogether clear. That the leading grangers, trunk lines and in dustrials collapse with violence, ren, dered it evident that ballast" was be- ing thrown over by wholesale, and that most of the support was such as came from short interest and small invest ment buying. Now and then 1000 to B. 900 shares of such stocks as Reading, and Union Pacifis and United States Steel would be taken on break of a point, only to see still lower prices lat CT on. If this was support 1t meant scale orders, and not begging" at a fixed price.

The story of the day in the stock market was simply one intending stream of liquidation from the open ing to the beginning of the final hour In certain directions support was att tempted, but it failed absolutely to check the decline except in a very few of the lower priced issues. The high priced railway issues were the storm center throughout. The metal shares and other industrials held relatively better. But there was scarcely any distinction worth observing between different groups of stocks.

The heaviest liquidation in stocks appeared to be over by 2:3O o'clock on the news from Washington that Secretary Cortelyou was on his way to New York to extend aid to the f. nancial situation, and on the belief that the meeting of the trust company bankers in the afternoon would be productive of good.

What You Think Of This!

Some people, you know, have an
awful fear that those who are now buy
ing farms and orchards may not be get
ing the worth of their money because
they are paying decidedly advanced
prices over one, two. three and more
years ago. An orchard that sold two
years ago for less than s5, 900 brought
$4,000 recently. Was it worth the
price? Decide after reading the record
it made last year:
The place referred to netted 1900
above all expen ses on fruit alone. Aside
from this there was 36 tons of hay.
Poultry and eggs furnished everything
for the family table. II such a record
can be maintained annually the man
who got it for $4,000 pick cd up rare
bargain.
On this place one apple tree netted
s26. 65 after all expenses for boxes and
picking were deducted. So good a tree
ought to have its picture in the paper
and stranger things have happened
Three Elberta peach trees yielded 81
boxes and some of the fruit measured
10 inches in circumference.
The INDEPENDENT predicts that this
place will sell up close to $50, 900 within
three years il it sells at all.

6, begins in a Hungarian village. where Mickloe a peasant, has wooed and won llona, the daughter of a wealthy land owner, the happy couple and their friends are in the midst of a festival in celebra- ton of the eve of their wedding when a quarrel ensues on account of the atten- tions or Count lstvan to Illona. Micklos has become jealous, and not without some reason, for the Count has been very at- tentive and Illona has not shown the proper aversion to his compliments.
 This young village belle Is one of those happy. light-hearted girls with a splen- did dash and when Micklos filings the flowers that she gave him on the igor and stamps on them in his rage, spirit of resentment seizes her and sne resolves to run away to Vienna, where the Count has told her she can become famous. It Is only an hours ride from her home to Vienna and before she reaches the latter place she has determined to dls- continue the counts attentions and to seek glory before the footlights.
 On going to the Vienna theatre to ob- tain an engagement, the first persons that she encounters are Schmaltz the wig maker and his wife Lena. Schmaltz un- dertakes to do his best for the girl, and through his influence and assisted in measure by q quaint sort of Art Pat ron" named Pangal, she secures the de- sired engagement.
 Illona's success on the stage Is instan- taneous but her triumph brings trouble and annoyance. But through all these. however, the German wigmaker and his wife remain her staunch friends
 Illona's principal trouble Is caused by the jealousy of her predecessor in the prima donna role named Franchette, who has imagined that her success and fa- voritism had assured her permanent pop ularity
 Franchette feeling her powers on the wane, through the wonderful success of the new actress, at once takes up with

 Go home and dress.' suggested that worthy Dress fit to kill!'
 Accordingly, back home went the meek Dorothy and sorted out the most stunning of her previous seasons dresses.

He did not know he was getting Dorothy Tennant until he asked the young woman her name; all he knew was that he had an actress who Hooked the part" That Is the secret of the game.

Tim MurnI1Y.-

The opening attraction for the season at tho Jefferson theatre will be Tim Mur- ghy and capable company, composed of Miss Dorothy Sherrod and others, who will be seen Thursday evening in TWO Men and a Girl" one of the most de- llghtful of comedies. Tim Murphy, Miss 5herrod and other members of the eom- pany are favorites In Birmingham and through the south, and the opening at traction at the Jefferson will be greeted by large and fashionable audience.
 The return of Tim Murphy brings one of the most popular entertainers of hs generation. Mir. Murphy holds an e&- alted position fin the esteem and love of the public
 Season after season this comedian has been a visitor to Birmingham and each recurring visit he has delighted his du- diences. m.
 Tim Murphy has a reputation which IS unique in some particulars He has come often. he is intimate, and the people regard him with confidence. This confidence is an asset with Anrphy as it if with Goodwin and as it is with Jeffer son and Sol Smith Russell, in whose rure class this gentle comedian stands. These actors so established themselves in the confidence of the public that they were and are always sure of crowded houses. No one asks about the play. The com edian's name Is his trade mark and it's q bond with the public for a superior en- tertainment.
 Other actors work the New York run very hard. That is played out. Either New York will stand for more bad drama and weak comedy than the rest of tho country ought to believe else man agers are willing to spend fortunes for long runs there to empty benches in order to gull the public elsewhere with the New York triumph"
 Tim Murphy stands for many things of the American stage that are worth while. There is a sense of patriotism In his acting, for he has studied his fellow citizens in the bank and in the office, in the furrow and on the fence. He has always encouraged American playwrights and his reward for taking plays occasion ally from writers who had not attained eminence has been successes which arc eloquent of his good judgment. Noth- ing that MT. Murphy has ever done has ever been in the remotest degree of- fensive or even questionable. His en- agreements have always attracted the best class of playgoers and acquaintance with his standards has begotten securi- ty in taking ladies and young people with the promise of a wholly clean, elevating, and amusing If there is a reward Tor high and decent ideals and firm adher- ence thereto it has been earned by Tim Murphy. He belongs to the thinly popu- lated line of fine frst-class actors. In the death of Sol Smith Russell one of this class passed and the earlier John T. Raymond was another.
 This season MT. Murphy brings charming and successful comedy hand somely mounted, beautifully costumed. and about two characters which display the comedians S versatility to a remark able degree. It is a three-act romantic comedy entitled Two Men and Girl, by Frederick Paulding.

the discarded count and the tow band together and employ every kind of artifice in the hope of interfering and blocking Illonas career. but Schmaltz who Is aware of all their movements, through his ever ready stratagem, manages to defeat them at every turn. Finally this open feud between the rival actresses eliminates in a lively scene and argument in one of the prominent Vienna cafe gardens, where Illona has had Schmaltz arrange for a dinner party for herself and several of her associates from the theatre, In the hope of seeing some other friends from her home village.
 Principally among her home friends she recognizes her former discarded fiancee. Mcklos. and learns that he is about to wed another. but feels it in her heart that she still holds his love. As Illona has insisted on Schmaltz and her friends appearing in the disguise of Hungarian officers, as she herself also does. their appearance and gaiety cause som uch comment that Micklos, In trying to learn the identity of the party, recognizes H. Iona. As Illona hatly denies her iden- tity, Micklos becomes so enraged that the argument between them attracts the at- tention of everybody and Micklos finally denouces her to all present.
 This is the opportunity that the count and Franchette have bene waiting for and so goads her successful successor into challenging her to a duel with rapiers. Schmaltz Is immediately named by Illona as her second and the two women meet in secluded spot in the woods, where after a lot of parleying and comical com plications brought about by Pangal's de- sire for police interference, and Schmaltz' anxiety to secure the best of everything for his principal. the two rival stage fa- vorites cross rapiers and Illona Is wound ed. Mcklos has of course learned of 1llonas ups and down and a reconcilia- ton is readily reached between them, so we next find Schmaltz the heroine and all their friends back in Illona's happy little Hungarian home. where the wedding bells that were interrupted in the first act for herself and Micklos have resumed their merry peal.
 '"The Rollicking Girl" will be presented at the Jefferson theatre Friday evening, September 6.

Beauty of InequaIitx.

The beauty as well as the happiness of the universe requires inequality. Equal lines, smooth surfaces and eter- nal plains have no beauty. We must have hill and dale. mountain and val ley, sea and land, suns of all magni- tudes, worlds of all sizes, minds of all dimensions and persons and faces of divers casts and colors to constitute a beautiful and happy world. We must have sexes, conditions and circum- stances-empires, nations and families Universities in person, mind, manners, in order to the communication and re- ception of happiness; hence our nu- merous and various wants are not only incentives to action, but sources of pleasure, both simple and complex physical, intellectual and moral.-Alex- ander Campbell.
