MRS. FISKE COMING
 TO THE MAJESTIC
Popular Actress Will Give Her Two Great Performances Here On
 October 24 and 25.

Lovers of what is best in the theatre will be delighted at the visit of Mrs. Ffske, who will appear at the Majestic theatre on October 24 and 25 with her noted supporting force, the Manhattan company. This distinguished actress, than whom no one stands higher on the Amer ican stage, is southern woman, but the south has not seen her since the days when she was known as Minnie Maddern. The fact that she and her manager, Har- rison Grey Fiske, are outside of the the atrical syndicate has barred her from ap- bearing at any theatre that the trust con- trols
 Until this season no theatres have been open to Mrs. F'iske in the south, and now where she does not appear in the play houses usually devoted to higher class attractions it is because that theatre could not book independently. On her present tour Mrs. Fiske is appearing i two of her most successful offerings, and she will give both of them here. They are, "Tess of the DUrbervilles," the dramatization of Thomas Hardy's great novel, and Leah <1Heschna," c. M. S. McLellan's absorbing modern drama

MONTGOMERY NEGRO
 PREACHER ON TEAR
HE DRINKS COLLECTION MONEY, CARRIES RAZOR AND PISTOL, AND OFFERS POLICEMAN A BIG
 BRIBE, BUT LANDS IN CITY JAIL.

The police department has heard of Montgomery sending her people to take in Birmingham, but never before has one of her prominent ''collud preachers" come to the Magic City to spend his congre- gation's money.
 J. M. Jones, according to himself, a leading divine of the capitol city, ar rived In Birmingham yesterday with d woman of color, and cut @ few stunts not often done openly by the cloth. He was finally arrested in house where he ought not to have been, a dozen or so sheets in the wind, and tearing up the eartS with his heels.
 Officers Benson and Disheroon were called in to put a stop to his services. and were promptly offered a bribe, s25, fresh from last Sundays collection box, to let him go. The officers did not accept, but preceded to search the preacher, and relieved him of a razor and big calibre pistol.
 He spent the night in the city jail, crying out on the night air against the cruelty of fate.

 ID THE POOLROOMS
Mayor Orders Certain Con-
 meeting Doors Closed
.PROPRIETORS RAISE KICK
Claim Excise Committee Passed On Their Cases and That They Are Operating Within
 the Law.

A special police officer spread alarm among certain poolroom proprietors yes- terday afternoon when he pointed out to them doors connecting with saloons and Mayor to have them closed.
 There is an ordinance on the city's rec ords, passed last spring. which prohibits any poolroom from being connected in any manner with saloon. At the time of it's passage a number of poolrooms had to move, while others closed the connect ing passageways.
 However, it seems that about eight have failed to comply with the order. Judging the cause to be ignorance, they have been given a mere notice to conform with the law. In case the doors are not closed today, the rooms tbemseives may be or dered closed and the proprietors arrested.
 Those which were notified were the Jefferson, the Imperial, the Florence, the Jockey Club, McCarty's, Frank Kreul- hause, Champ Yergin and the Mecca. The officer informed them that he was acting upon the orders of the Mayor.
 But they object. Some of them claim that at the time of the passage of the ordinance the excise committee went around and passed on their doors and told them they were all right
 MT. McCarty stated that he had li- cense for his poolroom until January 1, and if they wanted the connection closed they would have to arrest him, and that ale would fight it fin the courts.
 They met during the afternoon and de- cided to call on the Mayor in a body, with the purpose of coming to an under standing. Some claim they are not con nected with a saloon, as a hallway inter venes The Florence, for instance. is thus separated. However, it appears that the purpose of the ordinance was to force a man to walk out on the sidewalk to get from saloon to a. poolroom.

THRILLING TALE OF
 HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Man Robbed of Money, Mule
 Clothing and Shoes
WAS NEAR FAIR GROUNDS
Claims White Man Pointed Pistol at Him While Two Negro Assist ants Went Through
 His Pockets.

J. H. Hall, a white man, walked into police headquarters last night, barefooted and coatless. and informed the police that he was not only the victim of horse thieves. but highway robbers.
 Halls story was quite thrilling. It seems that he was driving toward Ems ley last night af about 10 o'clock when he reached Rising station on the South Ensley ear line. He declared that a white man called to him to halt. held a pistol in his face, and asked that he please shell out"
 When they had flnished he declares that he was minus mule, buggy. over coat, top coat, shoes and the sum of $65
 He declares that the whte man held a. pistol to his head while two negroes rified his pockets and took whatever they wanted, They then got in the buggy and drove off Hall walked on after them as Tar as the fair grounds, but as he had been drinking they outstripped him. At the fair, few kind fellows collected $1 for him, and he arrived at police headquarters frozen and shivering at mid night.
 Hall says that he halls from Jasper, that he has been looking all over the county for some stolen mules which es- capped from Graces Gap last month, and that he spent yesterday in Birmingham.
 It seems that the horse thieves are get ting active around the fair grounds. Yes terday morning a hack driver reported that his horse and cab had been stolen and a number of others have been re- ported recently.
 It is generally believed that a bunch of horse thieves, similar to those of his toric times, are at work again in Bir- mir rho,

ing HE found the house in state of
confusion and his mother missing. He
searched THE house for some time be-
fore he finally went to the cellar,
