He has a stage setting that represents an ice palace. and with the images he chops out of the solid blocks of ice the ornaments niches in the setting He works with an ordinary ehisel and does his work like lightning. He carves an elephant from one block of ice swan from another, and for his piece de resistance he carves the United States coat of arms-Coumbia and the double eagle. This he places in a setting which shows rhe sunburst above, the crossed national coors beneath. and under that picture of George Washing ton. the whole, with the glitterins ice figure for a centerpiece, making very pretty picture and fitting finale to a most interesting act.

HIGDON GIVES
 HIS MEN ADVICE
Urges Them To Carry Out Suggestions Made In Recent Grand Jury
 Report.

At one of the regular meetings of the deputy sheriffs of Jefferson county last night in the sherlffs office Colonel Hig- don talked 10 his men along the lines of suggestions made by the grand jury in its final report made Tuesday evening Colonel Higdon called the deputies atten- tion to, and cautioned them, never to make a return in a case that cannot be found. He urged upon them the neces- sty of running down and getting the proper addresses of the witnesses in cases so that papers may be executed without delay.
 He also advised them that when a mur- der is committed the deputy on the beat should go immediately to the spot and get out warrant for the offender of the law. He instructed them to all ways get all evidence possible and the names of witnesses and their knowledge of the case so that the facts might be put on file.
 Among other things he complimented his men on their recent actions in refer ence to the bribery cases. This bribery business." he said, proves to me beyond doubt that the deputy sheriffs are trustworthy and honorable" He spoke of the benefits derived from the cooper ation of the men and urged them to help each other as much as possible.
 Act in all cases according to the best of your judgment said Colonel Hig- dons and l will assume the responsibir= ity. If there is any blame l will take it, and if there is praise 1t is due you, as you do the worlxn

FREDERICK WARDE
 HEARD AT HOWARD
WELL KNOWN ACTOR DELIVERS SHAkESPEREAN ADDRESS AT EAST LAKE SCHOOL, WHICH DE. LIGHTS HIS HEARERS.

Frederick warde, for many years one of the most popular actors on the Amer ican stage, but for the last three seasons a star lecturer, delivered an address on Shakespeare and His Plays" at Harvard college last night.
 He told his hearers that as Shakes peare was an actor and wrote for actors, it might seem especially fitting that the dramas should be discussed by an actor.
 It was his purpose to clear away the cobwebs, vague philosophzing and sense less analyzing of some of the critics and essayists who. he said. had obscured the wisdom, the humanity, and the poetic beauty of the plays. Many of the so- called authorities on Shakespeare had been, to quote MT. Warde, guilty Of literary vivisection." They had dis oussed exhaustvely passages that were perfectly clear and had made them com plex and often meaningless. Shakes peare was never obscure, although some critics take simple phrase, such as My lord. the carriage waits," and try to find some subtle or hidden meaning.
 In Illustrating that part of his address dealing with the genius of Shakespeare as a poet and philosopher, MT. Warde recited with histrionic power many fa- miliar lines.
 Those who had the privilege of attend- ing the lecture agreed that it was both educative and brilliant, and that Warde had made valuable contribution to that department of literature known as Shakespeareana.
 MT. Warde lectures in Mobile Tuesday night. He goes today to Marion He says he averages an engagement daily throughout the season.

be a very considerable time during which the railroad companies will be obliged either to put the rates in force or to subject themselves to suits for forfeitures, and their officers, agents and servants to in- dictrnents for mdemeanors for a viola ton of the rates so fixed, and that by the several acts of the recent session or the legislature these forfeitures and pen altes are made SO numerous that they would involve liability in the case of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company of over Slo, G00,0O0 day, and in the case of the South and North Alabama Railroad company of s5, 000,O 900 a day and in the case of the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis railway of over $600,000 a day. so that it will be impossible for any railroad company to refuse to put in force rates fixed by statute. or by the railroad commission during such period without subieeting themselves to an entire con- fiscation of their property, should they fail in their contention, unless such rates are suspended and superseded by an order of the court, has been done in this case.

procedure which had previously been es- tablished for the purpose of testing, by d judiciad review. the reasonableness, fair ness and validity of the rate acts cannot operate to destroy the Jurisdiction of the United Estates court over the question of the reasonableness and fairness of those rates, that the change in the freight rates operates is a mere amendment to the system over the validity of which the court had obtained jurisdiction.
 Question Still Pending.
 The question is still pending before the court as to whether. or not, that sys- tenn as it was when the original hiI was filed, or between that time and this time allowed the railroads to charge a reasonable, fair and just rate; the railroad commission and the attorney general were the proper parties with whom to lltigate that question during this entire time, and the federal court has acquired jurisdiction over them un- der the federal statute and the constitu- ton of the United States, that jurisdic ton cannot be evaded as has been at tempted in these recent acts.
 But besides that. the duty to enforce t-ese acts is, by general statute. still con ferred upon the solicitors of the several circuits. and the right to enforce them is granted to every citizen who sees fit 10 eXeGclSe lndl IiSHts anu tildt III tuis particular case several shippers and trav elers have declared their intention and threaten to exercise that right: they have been made parties defendant to the bill, and the complainants calm that the court still has full and ample juris- dction to suspend and supersede the rates and restrain the enforcement there of by civil or criminal proceedings by the exercise of it's injunctive powers against the solicitors. the shippers the travel CTS. the clerks of courts and sheriffs
 The Central of Georgia Railway com panv also filed a petition praying that on the 2d day of December. next, its supplemental bill be allowed to be filed, and that the injunction heretofore granted be extended so as to include the new laws passed by the special session of the legislature and so as to enjoin all sheriffs. clerks and solicitors. This matter will be heard on the 2d day of De- cember.

lnterferes With Employees.

The bill further points out that many of it's agents are engaged as telegraph operators in the operation of it's trains carrying passengers, freight and malls, and that many of them are engaged as conductors in the management of It's trains, and that the number of suits and arrests that could be brought and made under this system of legislation would be so great as to make it impossible for the employees to attend to their duties. and also make it impossible for the rail- road companies to employ other compe- tent persons to attend to such duties, and that this would result in delaying United States mail and the transportation or freight and passengers and in endanger- ing the lives of the passengers upon trains.
 In addition to this. the same witnesses and the same books would be necessary in the defense of the prosecution of each agent officers or employees of any partic- llar road. and these prosecutions would be so numerous as to make it physically impossible to defend against them. To avoid this it was necessary to restrain such prosecutions.
 It is further contended that the acts of the Legislature which undertake 10 repeal the right of the attorney general and the railroad commission to enforce
