"The Prince of Pilsen.v

Notwithstanding the fact that THE
Prince of Pilsen'' has been offered in
Birmingham several times, the play was
received last night with the greatest en-
thusiasm, and it proved a highly enjoy
able performance.
The Prince of Pilsen" is one of Henry
W. Savage's offerings styled, "a meodic
conceit in two cast" 1t is a play of
fine scenery and rare musical treats, an
essentially musical play, and as present.
ed by the cast of characters last night it
is very attractive. The musical num-
bers are, of course, essential, ebut the
quaint comedy of Dan Mason, one of
the Mason brothers, who appeared here
together several years ago, is not to be
overlooked.
There were several very pretty songs.
THE Message of the Violet" Pictures in
the Smoke" and The Tale of the Sea
Shelf were all roundly applauded and
each of the other numbers were warmly
received. The cast last night was sur
prisingly strong, being in its entirety
above the usual standard, and with the
new scenery and fresh costumes the play
was satisfactory I'm every respect.

resulted in the resignation of Admiral

SISTER ELEONORE
CONTINUES WORK
THOUGH SHE is ENGAGED TO
PRINCE FERDINAND OF Bull
CARA SHE DECLINES TO GIVE
UP DUTIES.

Berlin, January 4-Notwithstanding
her engagement to Prince Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, Princess Eleonore of Reuss
continues her lowly duties as a member
of the Deaconesses Home at Luebben,
Lower Lausatia.
When she first arrived at Luebben the
authorities attempted to treat her as be-
fits her royal rank, but the good look
ing deaconess objected.
Herr Burgomaster," she said, 'please
remember that in Luebben 1 am Sister
Eleonore."
When, on December g. her engagement
was announced, she left off the neat dea-
coness habit, but when she returned from
the ceremonials of betrothal she again as
sumed the sisters dress and went out
the same night to nurse a sick mother.
The future Princess of Bulgaria is q
half-sister of the late Prince Albert of
Saxony and a niece Of Grand Duchess
Maria of Russia. During the Russo-Jap-
anese war she was chief nurse of the SAN
itary train sent out by Grand Duchess
Vladimir. She had never before done
work of that kind, but soon grew accus-
toned to her new duties and, being a
woman of great will power, reorganized
the whole expedition.

Athletic Playground viii
BE 2hY0ADn Open Wezt Week

The play ground movement, one of the
most important in civic life, will formally
bud into a reality In Birmingham on
Friday, the 18th, when the first play
ground will be opened at East park.
The need of crowded schools and
penned-up children has begun to be real
ized and by the untiring efforts of such
men as w. D. Nesbitt, a movement has
sprung up which it is hoped will soon
place play grounds in every quarter of
the city.
A fine cinder graded track for run
ming has been prepared, six laps to the
mile, as well as pits for jumping and pole
vaulting, costing at least $1,000 in all.
There is room for all kinds of apparatus,
which the committee intends to install at
an early date.

I'm Governor Johnson's boyhood Is found
the analogy with the life of Abraham
Lincoln, which has doubtless influenced
the governors friends to compare his
career. or rather his character, with that
of the great President His father was
Gustaf johnson, a blacksmith. who came
to America from Sweden and settled in
the little town of ST. Peter. Minn some
time early in the SOS. When John A.
Johnson was a candidate for governor
for the first time, in 1902 his political
opponents tried to affect his standing
by referring to the habits of his father
and saying that the latter had been an
inmate Of an almshouse. This move did
Governor Johnson far more good than
harm. 1t was an indisputable fact that
as a mere boy Governor johnson had
started to work and had done all In his
power to earn money with which to re-
leve the poverty of his home.
Governor Johnson's mother was an inn
