 Drawn around NJ. Young in his play is a company of strengths The men supporting him are all good IT, their parts of college boys Among those who were particularly good were Thomas V. Morrison as Gerald Thorne. and Bruce Brayton as Hubby Anderson The heroine was Evelyn Kenyon, the part being taken by Miss Catherine Calvert Miss Calvert is winsome and natural in every action and every word of her part. Miss Grace Morse as Ma rion Thorne was also very good.
 There was nothing lacking in the performance last night. It was com plete in it's every phase. The story of the play is extremely interesting and the theme was carried out by com pany of good actors.

NEW ARRANGEMENT FOR MILEAGE BOOKS
ANY TEN PERSONS GOING TO SAME POINT CAN GET 2-CENT RATE-RAlLRoAD MEN IN CITY YESTERDAY.

A recent step made by several of the railroads in the way of reducing rates for parties is a provision whereby as many as 10 passengers, whether they belong to the same organization or not, can pro- cure 2-oent fare.
 By this provision any 10 men going to the same place can ask for and obtain 2-cent rate to their point of destination
 Under this new ruling two theatrical companies will join forces and leave Bir- mipgham Saturday night for New Or leans over the Queen and Crescent.
 Another item in the matter of lower rates is the announcement that for the present at least there will be no 2-cent- per-mile interchangeable books on the Central of Georgia.
 Officials of this road state that at a conference of southeastern lines held re- gently in Atlanta the matter of the Cen tral honoring these 2-cent-perm mile inter changeable books was not taken up. and that until the matter is decided upon. the road will not honor them. The matter of the Louisville and Nashville partici- pating in these books was not taken up either

President Harahan and the directors of the Illinois Central, who spent yesterday in Birmingham, and who are now in JacK- son, Miss, for today, will inspect certain properties in Jackson on which options are held by the Illinois Central
 It is reported that the purchase of this property will be followed by the enlarge ment of the Illinois Central terminals in Jackson, though the officials yesterday did not discuss the matter in detail
 Among the visiting railroad men in the city yesterday were Evan Prosser, traV- cling passenger agent of the Baltimore and Ohio, at Louisville; Warren L. Rohr, western passenger agent of the Mort and Western at Chattanooga; C. w Rob inson, traffic, freight and passenger agent of the Burlington Route, with head quarters in Atlanta; John F. Hardin, commercial agent of the Queen and Cres- cent, with headquarters in Atlanta; J. M. Whitford, commercial agent of the Mis- souri, Kansas and Texas. with headquar- ters in Atlanta: J. B. Payne. travelling freight agent of the Western Pacific, with headquarters in Louisville, and Frank w. Miller. commercial agent of the C. C. x L., with headquarters in Atlanta.
 It is a noticeable fact in railroad circles, and a fact upon which all travelling men comment that the heavy travel of last year and the year previous to the west has almost come to an end.
 The cheap rates offered to immigrants to the west are not attracting the vast num- Der of people formerly induced to leave the east and south This fact is consd- cred indicative of a travel to other sec tions of the country, notably the south.
 The fact is considered significant by railroad men of this section, and work toward bringing worthy immigrants into this section is being redoubled.

PIONEER" MILK
FOR UNCLE SAM

The first delivery Of eyaporated milk
from the San Francisco depot, for use
of the United States troops in the Phil
ippine Islands, has just been completed.
The government awarded the contract
to the Borden Condensed Mix Com
pany on its - Pioneer brand, in COM
petition with many others. The first
shipment to Manila comprises 1900
cases. 4 local iobber has also been
awarded a contract for a shipment Of
500 eases of the "Pioneer brand, TO
60 by transport sailing November 20.
The selection of this brand on basis
of quality, for government use, Is very
gratifying to the Borden company,
which has all along maintained the
quality of "Pioneer' well above the
requirements Of the national and State
pure food laws. The evaporated milk
question has for some time occupied
much time and attention, owing to de-
mands from some manufacturers that
the standard be lowered, but recent ac-
tion by State and national officials in
dicates that the standard as originally
fixed will be adhered to; in fact, the
State authorities have gone on record
in an official bulletin to this effect.
Heretofore the milk purchased by
the government for use IN the Philip
pines has been bought in the East and
shipped from Eastern depots, but fol-
lowing out its policy Of buying as close
as possible to the point Of manufacture,

The Needs of Susannah Wesley Home
By Mrs Meta Mack

Our appropriation from the mission.
airy board amounts to one hundred dol.
lars per month. Out of this must be
paid the salaries of four workers, in.
surance on the home, water and sewer
rates, electric light bills, and all incl
dentals.
Five dollars and one-half per month
is the price required for the board
and care of each woman or child. The
home has sheltered during the past
year about seventy-fve women and
children. Of this number about ten
per cent. have been able to pay the
required board. The balance of the
money needed had to be met by volun-
tary contributions.
With two additional workers and
considerable increase in family, the f.
nancial problem this year will be much
more difficult than before
Our greatest immediate need is a
covering for a porch off the dining
room, to shelter passage from the
front and the rear cottage and keep
the rain from driving into the open
dining room.
The cost has been estimated and it
viii amount to one hundred dollars.
We hope our gift-day entertainment
will result in at least making this
porch a possibility. This is an extreme
present need.
The children are trained along prae-
tical lines, as well as taught English
and sewing, and are mostly children
from homes that are needy and where
the parents are not able to give them
proper training. The women are given
shelter and protection from brutal hus-
bands often, beside being trained for
domestic service
