De Wolf Hopper. in "Happyland," broke the ice of the Shuberts in Birming- ham at the Majestic theatre last night. He and his company will play Wang" this afternoon and this evening.
 The initial performance was greeted by mouse full and the audience was most enthusiastic from the opening chorus to the ensemble as the curtain was lowered, and De Wolf Hopper was welcomed as the old time favorite that he is. The comic opera star has lost none of his ability to amuse, and his audience thor oughly enjoyed his efforts to make them laugh last night
 In his palmiest days he never sur rounded himself with a company that was more capable. Marguerite Clark sings the part of Sylvia, and this dainty little woman was in excellent voice last night, as was Joseph Phillips in the part of the lover of Sylvia.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

William Grafton Ward was born
on the 10th day of December, 1929.
was married to Sarah Brooks JulyS,
1859. From this union resulted
fourteen children, eight boys and six
girls. all of whom survive him.
He professed Christianity at the age
OF SO years, and Joined the church
OF which he reamined loyal men,
Der until his demise on the Sth day
OF November. 1907. at noon, at the
ripe old age of a years. 10 months
and 90 days. He lived that emil
nently lofty Christian life which he
protested. In his experience he was
not satified with they say" he in
vestigated. His profession was not
II hope so" hut Il know" He was
one that demontrates that religion is
a life. and must be lived. He always
had kind word for the erring; a
morsel for the hungry; couch for
the weary; cup for the thirsty.
His great heart thrilling with love
humanity. throbbed against the hos
ON of his fellows. His daily life
clearly demonstrated that passage
of Holy Writ which says Blessed
is the man that walketh not In the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth
in the way OF sinners nor sitteth in
the seat of the scornful. But whose
delight is in the laws of the Lord,
and in them doeth he mediate both
day and night In practice he
stood the peer OF his generation.
His pure life called forth the love
and devotion OF his friends, the ad-
miration of his neighbors and the
respect OF his critics. He set that
manly example which others could
follow with honor to him and credit
to themselves. He went forth to
fight the battles of life as a knight
plumed for the encounter. and re-
turned from the last victory with
the laurels of the victory browning
his fair brow. And after passing the
last milestone on the we'll trodden
pathway of life. weary with his long
journey. ne laid his heavy burden
down and without murmur. like a
mighty river with green and shady
banks, he gently, peacefully flowed
ioto the great ocean of eternal
peece.
