Decision Will Soon Be Given In Re-
 publican MuddIe.

Cleveland, O.. January 13.-The county board of elections today declined to take any action in the republican factionaI war until Thursday. By that time it is expected that Secretary of State Thomp- son will have rendered decision as to his jurisdiction in the matter.

The Forakerites made no move, but ret- erated the statement that they would win out in the end. Thus far the third faction, which insists upon indorsement of President Roosevelt for reelection, has taken no decisive action.

caIve. the Great Carmen.

If Mme. Emma Calve had never stood on a stage save in the one role of Carmen, her unprecedented success in that would be sufdcent to fix her repu tation as the greatest dramatic prima donna of the world. That she is to give the last act of Carmen here on the 21st is creating great interest, not only among musicians, but throughout all circles of theatre goers. She is ably assisted in presenting the last act of Carmen. and it is said that her rem dition of the star part in the duet and death scene is a bit of acting unsur- passed on any stage. It is tragedy of the. highest type into which, and through which the great singers gold en voice is woven as sunbeam through the black and ominous masses of a storm cloud.

At the Majestic.

Birmingham is fast beglnnlnS 10 ap- preciate good vaudeville, the splendid bills which the Majestic has put on for the past few weeks serving to attract good crowds. The bill which was pre- scented yesterday held up to the standard, the several stunts put on being very en- tertaining.
 Chris Christopher took the place of Musical Whiteley on the programme. He has a musical voice and his violin selec- tions were very good, his rendition of The Mocking Bird being especially so. He was slightly awkward, however, in the swinging of an imaginary baby in his Yodle song, though the song was pleas ing
 Hubert Deveau in "Dreams of Light ming Art" was delightfully."- pleasing, drawing pictures with rapidity almost impossible to believe. His last picture depicting snow scene, was productive of tremendous applause.
 Domestic Pets" was the name of a little skt by Eugene Ellsworth Madge Burt, Wm. Watson, and cat named IDlls anu u ubS ildfiitQ OOlSiC- It was described on the programme as "A Hilarious Sketch" which was fully proven, the dog and the cat being the cause of it all. The speaking was rather low in the first part of this act, making it almost impossible for persons in the rear to understand It shows how hus- band and wife misunderstood each other f,t all afh fn ,af the wife despising a dog and the hus- band having the same feeling for d eat Hubby gets a dog and wifey gets a cat and each tries to hide the pet from the other The act was very funny.
 'The Three Troubadours'' were three young men of neat appearance, who sing fairly we'll the baritone being very good, gets off the key every once in a while. The trio should sing simpler songs which would suit their voices better, the basso especially attempting too classical selec- tions.
 Lew Wells, the old favorite, had string of nonsense his description of India, and how he bought the city council of
  His makeup is the face of a drunken sot which cannot help but be repulsive. His supply of wittcfsms appeared un- limited and every joke was new.
 The Bowman Bros. as ''The Blue Grass Boys" put on one of the best acts in the bill, one of the brothers having very pleasant voice. One makes up as negro and the other as gentleman Their song, ''Pining," is a new one, and the way they sang it is sure to make it pop ular
 "The Great Alpine Troupe" composed of man, boy and a girl, in wire walk ing, was the feature of the bill. The bal ancing of the trio the smallest being not over ten or twelve years of age, showed splendid control and training. They used only parasols to balance them selves with, and in a few instances used nothing at all. The cake walking of the girl and the boy was very neatly done
 The Majestograph finished the bill with d good picture of Uncle Sams training school for sailors.
 The drawing for the $50 in gold took place on the stage, the drawing being done by one of the audience. The fol- lowing numbers were drawn and the lucky holder can secure his prize by ap- plying at the box office: 2202, first prize of $25: 3600 second prize of s10 359O third prize of $750; 24il, fourth prize of s5, and 2517 fifth prize of s250.
