SUMMERTIME WEATHER
 TO CONTINUE OVER TODAY

It has certainly been warm for this season of the year And the weather man says that today will be exactly like yesterday and several days previ- ous. It was a little cooler last night than on the previous night, and tonight promises a still lower temperature fin advance of an area of high barometer which is moving in southernly direc- tion from the northwest.
 And. too. Montgomery Is going to miss any probable rains for day or so, as the storm centre day before yes terday central over Minnesota had passed through the St. Lawrence val ley yesterday morning. The air move ment from the south to the northern districts caused the southernly winds yesterday and a consequent higher tenn peratures over this section of the Southern States.
 As the low barometer area moves off over the Atlantic ocean, this effect will be lost and a slightly cooler tenn perature over this section may be ex- pected by tonight and Monday morning in advance of the high barometer area from the northwest. This high area will bring a continuance of the fair weather which has been over this sec ton for some days. as it Is causing fair and generally cooler weather in

It is asserted by the management that Miss Berger is destined to become one of the favorites of the day. Besides good music all through the play there is a story and a rational kind of prettiness in the picto- rial display. Ben M.

DIsTRIBUTING REPORTS.
Chief Clerk BrasselI Returns From
 Southeast Alabama.

SOutneHat AkAbaAHa0s
 Walter R. Brassell, Chief Clerk of the State Board of Health, returned yesterday from a ,fatiguing journey in the Southeastern end of the state where he went in the interest of en- forcing the new health laws passed by the last Legislature.
 Mir Brassell was engaged in carrying the blank forms to the various city and county officers to be used in mak- ing out the regular monthly reports. There were a number of changes made by the new law in the requirements of these officers and some explanation in person was deemed necessary to go with the distribution of the blanks
 The reports pertain to the vital and mortuary statistics of the various counties and cities and, under the rigid system which pr. W. H Sanders. State Health Officers. is instituting for the future work along this line, accurate figures of this character are expected to be sent regularly to tho Capitol monthly. Next week Mir.

 With many patrons of the theatres signing because they believe the the atric moon has passed the crescent stage, gone beyond the full and is now on the wane. Messrs. Hirscher Broth CTS are bravely continuing to offer at fractions of the first class. and this week, after having last week offered two very creditable performances "Ari- zona" and 'sWildhre." with Lillian Rus sell leading a good company to glory in it. gives to Montgomery four pieces that are expected to be memorable.
 It is notable that three of them are musical pieces. The fourth is comedy which though not frothy in the least has the sparkle of light wine rather than the heady effects of a more se- rious dramatic draught. The comedy is new to Montgomery; so are two of the musical pieces: the third of the tuneful offerings is 'The Royal Chef."s which has been presented previously in Montgomery and which because. rather than in spite of the fact, Is apt to draw a good house.
 First for the week is "The Blue Moon" musical comedy that is said to be winning the same success in America that 1t gained abroad. It Is presented by the Shuberts, who have prepared for 1t magnificent scenic set-

 With the principals are pretty chorus girls, good singers and elaborate scen- cry.
 That picturesque play, "woodland." :" creation of an almost fanciful art Is to be seen Friday night for the first time In Montgomery. It is by Frank Pfxley and Gustav Luders, and completes quartette of musical comedies they have recently made. In it's rairylilxe concep- tion and poetic execution, lit is an epic of innocent sportiveness and an idyl of dainty and peaceful loveliness. It's name is Indicative of it's import and effects. which are set forth with deI- icacy of sentiment clever regard of fan and frolic and humor, and just ap- preciation of the wonders that can be wrought by modern stage machinery. George Leslie has the principal comedy role and the company with him, aided by the scenery and costumes carried, gives promise of a production of equal merit with the presentation of the piece in larger cities.
 A comedy hailed with delight every where will close the week. It will be presented at both matinee and night Saturday. The title. Susan in Search of Husband" is suggestive of much cfeverness of line and interest of dra- matic situation and with the name of Jerome K. Jerome, the English humor- ist. and Eugene W.

FIRE LOSS OF s1O,OOO
HULL ROOMS or SOUTHERN OIL
 COMPANY BURNED.
Big Plant Was Saved by Promptness of Employees, and Fine Work
 of Fire Depart

A dangerous fire yesterday afternoon at 3:30 D. m. destroyed portion of the plant of the Southern Cotton oil Company. located in North Montgom- cry. The hull rooms were completely burned, and the seed stored in them at the ttime were in large part de- stroyed. The estimated loss Is in the covered by insurance.
 The alarm was received at the cen- tral station at 3:30 D. m.. and even then a pail of smoke hung over North Montgomery. It was soon learned in the business district that the plant of the Southern Cotton oil Com pany was on fire. and fears were entertained tht the destruc- tion of the complete plant was impend- ing. The fact that the hull shed was on fire did not not greatly lessen the danger from the fear since there still existed the imminent possibility of the. spread of the flames to the main build ing.
 When the department reached the scene of the fire. the employees of the company was bravely contesting the progress of the flames. Stripped to the waist the employees were lighting for all they were worth against the flames which enveloped the hull rooms.
 The department promptly lent their aid. and soon five or six streams of water were playing upon the burning structure.
 For thirty minutes the battle con tinued. a huge crowd meanwhile watch ing the struggle. At intervals with roar and hiss portion of the side walls of the building would fall and subside into the puddles of water col- lected along the edge of the building. Finally the flames were extinguished. but the smouldering ruins gave evil dence of the magnitude of the fire and the ferceness of the struggle.
 Several exciting episodes character ized the struggle yesterday. On one occasion a young boy was struck by a falling plank, hut he was not seri- ously injured. On several occasions from similar cause.
 No satisfactory theory is advanced to account for the beginning of the flames. When first observed a small section of the roof of the shed was ablaze.a and in a very few minutes the entire roof was mass of flames.
 The oil of the hulls with which the building was filled became vaporized through the heat, and hence after the flames gained foothold they spread as If a gas jet ran along the length of the roof.
 The confinement of the flames to the shed was due to several fortuitous cir among which may be counted the prompt arrival and excel ent work of the fire department. and llso the fact that the small breeze blowing was away from the main build l ngs. The essential factor, however, was the very adequate fire equipment | 'f the oil company, and the fine work | )f the employees. The company has a | jumping plant, and an unfailing sup 'ly of water.

TRADES IN DEVICES

TURNS OUT PECULIAR ARTI-
Gle TO CURE INSOMNIA.

PHILADELPHIA, March ST call

manufacturer as he led a reporter to
his huge plant, which is one of the
big institutions of the Quaker city.
He opened a door into a long room
where two rows of girls were boxing
instruments that looked like electric
fans, the wings of the fans being stud
ded with small round mirrows.
Many insomniacs," said the fac
tory owner, can sleep at the window
of an express train. The sight Of
the landscapes rushing by brings on
refreshing nap. Well, this machine,
with its whirl and glitter of revolv-
ing mirrors, acts on the eye and brain
in the same soothing manner, and the
insomnia whom train ride helps
is invariably helped by this.

room, Eve turn out slumber balls"
A number of young men were
rounding and polishing balls of bright
metal, and he took one in his hand.
'FiXed high above the bed" he said,

FRUIT CULTURE.

Before the evening class in agricul-
ture of the College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, last evening, ). E. Hig
gins, horticulturist OF the U. S. Agri-
cultural Experiment Station discours-
ed on the commercial possibilities Of
citrus culture in the Territory, which
he predicts will become of consider
able Importance in the future. He
stated that the importation of citrus
fruits from California now amounts to
between $4,000 and 100000 per year,
and that there is no good reason why
most of this supply should not be rails
ed locally.
After going into the matter of locali-
ties, soil, stock, etc. best adapted to
the growing of Hawaiian citrus fruits,
Mr.. Higgins made the statement that
the oranges of Kona and other sections
of the Territory which now grow prac-
tically wild and with but little atten-
ton, demonstrate that with care great
success should result, inasmuch as the
insect pests are much less troublesome
than in many parts of the Coast coun-
try where without the greatest yigi-
lance it would be practically lmpOssi-
Bile to grow the fruit at all
The superior shipping and keeping
qualities of citrus fruits over other
kinds, makes it possible to grow or
anges, lemons, grape-fruits, ETC., in
districts where other fruits could not
be produced commercially at a profit.
