, All the week-S. Kent Miller,
 , in Rallies"

6. Miller Kent In "Raffles.v

If a person offered to sell cloth which had always softl for $1.50 per yard at DO cents, he would in all probability sell a large amount of it. The Bijou this week Is said to be making the same offer, tho only difference being that it is selling en- tertainment instead of cloth It offers its patrons an attraction with an interna- tional reputation, the most talked about play of the present decade, and star of the first magnitude, at its own regular popular price of admission.
 The brilliant young romantic actor, S.. Miller Kent, in the sensational English dramatic success, Rallies" is the at traction above referred to. MT. Kent made his first appearance in Rallies last season. His success was instantan- eous He brought for the first time to the part the charm and virility of youth, to- gether with the finesse of finished TO- mantle action. MT. Rents itinerary this season, as last, includes nearly all the leading theatres of the United States and Canada. He plays but six cities at pop ular prices and Birmingham is one of them In Memphis, the week before last, he was nothing short of sensation, and his business on the week was the largest in the history of the Memphis Bljou. Last night he closed another week of tremen- dous business in Atlanta. Two weeks after leaving Birmingham he will go into the high priced theatres for the balance of the season.
 Rallies is beyond a doubt the best acted and best told detective story ever put on the stage. It enjoyed a run of 225 nights at the Princess theatre in New York and is now in the sixth month of it's engagement at the Comedy theatre. London, England. It is a play full of ac- tion, startling surprises, amusing lines and tender psthos. The production ts un- usually heavy and elaborate and Mrs

cHANeELINes AT A HOSPITAL.
Boy Patients Sent to Wrong English
 Homes-An Amazing Mistake.

From the London Express. The tragi-comedy of mistaken iden- tity between two children has been agi- tating two families in Battersea and South Wark.
 Bertie Potter and Johnnie Evans. both years old, and bearing some likeness
 to each other, were taken i'll with scar let fever. Both were sent to the Dart ford hospital. then to the Grove Fever hospital at Footing, and finally to the Stockwell hospital for discharge. During the change from one hospital to the other the children got mixed with the result that Bertie Potter went home to Mrs. Evans of Red Cross street, Southwark, and Johnnie Evans was ta- ken home by MT. Potter of Curre street. Battersea. The most amazing part of the story is that Mrs. Evans did not find out the mistake at all, while Mrs. Potter noticed at once that the child which h CT husband had brought home was not hers.
 The hospital authorities notified Mrs. 1 Potter on January 21 that Bertie was l to be disch harged. The next day Mr. l Potter went to th hospital to claim his | boy.
 l There was a youngster-apparent
 ] Bertie Potter, for he wore Bertie Pot
 ter's clothes and had label on him,

 | it was put down to the illness. l When they arrived at home Mrs Pot ter was dismayed to find that little Ber- l tie would not "come to mummy" at all. '"rhat is not my Bertie," she said to her husband. You have got the wrong l child.
 Mrs. Potter and her husband went to ! Stockwell next day. They were re- 1 ferred to Footing grove, and were told to call next day For two days the 1 mother was distracted by the loss of ] her child. Nobody knew what had ] become of him, and on the evening of Il the second day the nurses of Footing l grove were mustered and asked to identify the interloper. Tt is Johnnie l Evans" they agreed.

Checkers" the tale of love and luck, will be seen at the Jefferson theatre to- morrow night. It is fresh from its 18th unauestioned success in New York. The production, which has scored big hit wherever seen, is still under the personal supervision of the same manager who has directed it's destinies since it's initial per formance The title role this season is to be enacted by Hans Robert, the young actor of whom a metropolitan daily has said: He is the manifest possessor of a talent and personality which warrant the seemingly extravagant prediction that he is destined to be known. in comedy as Edwin Booth was in tragedy, this coun- try's greatest actor
 Regarding the story of Checkers" the wide circulation of the book since its publication ten years ago seems reason for the belief that the details of the at once charming and thrilling tale must be known to every lover of the "old, old story" when dressed in fresh language, as well as to every lover of the sport of kings and the intense excitement of the betting ring.
 The blending of the strong, pure love of. a refined girlhood with the rugged, stren- uous activity of a manly young follower of the ponies, involving the surrender of each a little to the other but in such manner as to win the plaudits of the friends of both, is regarded as a triumph of literary skill in book form, while the stage version may be said to be some thing sure to make you sit up and listen"

a concert at the Jefferson theatre next Friday night. She is not only brilliant performer, but she is at once soulful, po- etic and authoritative Many of the fam- ous artists interest chiefly educated musi- clans. Only few appeal to musicians and the general public alike. Every one delights in Paderewski when that virtu- oso is in good form and it is likewise true when Madame Bloomfield Zeisler plays that all classes are charmed. With her marvellous technique, her intellectual breadth and her temperament the most classic as well as the lightest pieces that this woman renders receive the rapt at tention of the audience.
 Those who heard Bloomfield Zeisler when she gave a recital in Birmingham three or four years ago will be eager to hear her again this week. No music lover who missed hearing her on her for mer appearance can afford to stay away from the concert Friday night. The Jef- ferson theatre should be crowded

Mcintyre 6 Heath in "The Ham Tree"

Mcintyre and Heath, the famous black faee' entertainers, who are now starring in I<law & Erlanger's production of ''The Ham Tree" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre next Wednesday nlati- nee and night. This is considered one of the best musical attractions booked for the season. The company which will be seen here opened at the New York the atre in New York in August, 1905, and made a run of several months to the largest receipts in the history of this great playhouse. Then followed long en- agreements in Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Chicago, where the New York success was emphatieally repeated. Their cur rent season also began at the New York theatre, where they repeated their sue cess of two years ago.
 ''The Ham Tree'' Is an elaboration Of the famous sketch, ''The Georgia Min strels," which Mcintyre and Heath have been presenting on the vaudeville stage for many years. The manuscript of this slxit was placed in the hands of MT. Ho- bart, who expanded it into a three-act musical play, telling an interesting story, interpolated with a large number of very attractive musical features and special ties Their vehicle has proved a rare op- portunity for the exposition of genuine old-style negro humor. in which Mcintyre and Heath have been conspicuous for the past 30 years.
 Klaw &Erlanger have surrounded these comedians with an excellent company which includes long list of well known players and a most attractive chorus. The chorus comprises young women, not one of whom is, it is said, over 20 years of age. All the principals of the company are well known favorites.

PASSES INTO HISTORY
First Conference Of Governors Of
the United States
HARMONY IS THE KEYNOTE.
Opinion Unanimous That Action
Should Be Taken to Conserve
Natural Resources.

Washington, May 16.-The first con-
ference of the governors of the states
of the American Union has ended.
The accomplishments of the confer
cree cannot be set forth with mathe-
malical precision. That it's immediate
results are more than ample is the eX-
preston of President Roosevelt, who
brought il about, and of the governors
.o %hoo participated;
J The printed record of the confer
once, which will later be available to
every American home, will be a COM
pi]ation of facts, startling in their
meaning, convincing in their univer-
sal conclusion that the states must
act. and that the states and the nation
must cooperate to the. end that to
the whole people of the nation may
accrue the lasting benefit of its nat
ural resources.
Besides the compilation Of facts by
the experts and the freely expressed
opinion Of the governors, the confer
enoe leaves as it's permanent record
1000 words of "declaration." Not a
"declaratiol of independence" but a
"declaration of cooperation"
Perhaps greater in Importance than
all else was the determination of the
governors of the states to perfect a
permanent organization whereby a
heretofore unknown intimacy may be
developed among the executives of
the forty-six sovereign states, made
strong by a common purpose, and
made potent by pronouncements which
may not lightly be disregarded.
In brief, the declaration is to the ef-
feet that the natural resources of the
country are threatened with exhaus-
tion and that measures should be
taken for the conservation of the
natural wealth OF the country.
