ARCADE-TALKING PICTURES.

The introduction of natural talking
effects as an adjunct to the various
picture subjects included in the pro-
grams presented at the Arcade Theatre
this week. proves a most satisfactory
innovation, greatly increasing the in
terest and vastly improving the effect
of the show. The method employed at
the Arcade permits its application to
every picture subject presented. The
pictures talk, sing and dance naturally.
The usual new pictures are added daily
with the regular three complete
changes of the entire programs weekly.

MPLRE-BURLESOUE

Patrons of the Empire Theatre were
treated to a rather amusing entertain
ment by the washington Society
Girls last night. The opening skit,
"On the Wan Path logged along mer-
rily and gave Lee Stevens, the writer
and leading character, a good oppor-
tunity to display his talent as a come
dian. The Mullini sisters were easily
the top-liners in the olio. Mile. Morey's
living pictures were interesting. 1.-THE
Toreador" was the title of the closing
hodge-podge. There were several funny
things in it.

SHOEMAKER IS HURT
HORSE FELL UPON HIM AT UNION s STATION.
Injuries Severe, But Not Relieved To Be
 Fatal, As Was At First .t- '.s Th0ughf--Horne a-. Frightened.

As she' was in the act of a adjusting the buckle on the saddle of his favorite horse at the union station yesterday morning. W. M. Shoemaker inadvert- ently ptnched the horse or did some thing to cause him to plunge forward and falling on the popular manager of the Southern Express Company caused painful but not fatal injuries.
 No limbs nor bones were broken in the body of Mir Shoemaker. and the ex- tent of the injuries may be confined to several ugly bruises. As soon as the accident happened medical aid was sum moned and in a few minutes the inju- ries of the man were attended to.
 Many of his friends called at his home on Moulton Street to inquire of his con- dition after Mir. Shoemaker was taken there by order of the attending physi- clan. So far the visitors have been ex- cIuded from the room, such having been the decision of the physician.
 The news first spread over the city that Mir. Shoemaker was fatally hurt. But later reports gave his true condition and his friends were much relieved.
 Mfr. Shoemaker's horse has always been considered as very gentle and the accident was that much more of sur prise to those who heard of 1t. The horse must have had an unusual excite ment.

RABIES CASES CROW.
TOTAL OF TWELVE CASES ARE
 REGISTERED.
Examination of Heads of &uspected Dogs According to Pasteur Treat ment Shows Infectious
 Condition.

More patients are undergoing the Pasteur treatment in the laboratory of the State Bactcrfological Department this week, according to the officials In charge, than at any time since the es- tablishment of the philanthropic Instr tuition at the Capitol A total of twelve patients were registered yes- terday, a number which exceeds by four the record so far established in the months carecr of the department.
 The scope of the work Is gathered in the announcement of the department that more than half of the patients so far presenting themselves for treat drophobia venom, according to exami- posed to have been afflicted with the rabies. This Is in decided contrast to the usual false alarm cases which are regularly brought to the attention of Pasteur Institutes throughout the country.
 Since the inauguration of the de- partment about twenty y-fve patients have been treated. 1t is pointed out as claim to the beneficence of the ln- stitution that about 9s per centum of the individuals treated here have come from the poorer classes, and that their financial condition was such as to for bid treatment on any other than a free basis.
 All of the patients at present under going treatment are pronounced well on the road to recovery. with pros- poets of release as soon as sufficient cultures have been made.

FOOTBALL SEASON COMES TO CLOSE TO-DAY. New Football Has Come to Stay, Ae- eording to the Dope of Ex-
 perta of the
 Game.

New York. Nov. 27.-with the annual game between the Army and Navy at Philadelphia tomorrow, the football close.
 Perhaps the chief thing demonstrat- ed by thIs years contests was that the to be iespised. Heretofore. the Big teams. such as Yale, Harvard and Pennsylvania. have usually toyed with their smaller opponents, running up changed. The Navy tied Harvard and Brown held the Crimson to a six to two score this fall: Dartmouth defeat- ed Princeton. while Syracuse and West 10 nothing to nothing ties and Yale was able to score one touchdown only against both Syracuse and the Army. These are q few instances of the strength. of the lesser elevens.
 .. AnotheS fact brought out Is that new" football has come to stay. As and hence more Interesting to the spec tator and less harmful to the players. Puntlng. field goal kicking and trick plays have reached a greater develop ward pass. an innovation with the new game. is generally iadmitted to be one oI the prettiest plays in football. Many of the most bitter detractors of the new football at It's inception two years ago are now among it's most ardent sup porters. In the minds of experts, 1t Has seedseu 10 De an experiment.. It can hardly be said that the revised game has reached as high a develop ment in the West as in the East. Mich tgan. which for years, had one of the strongest grfdiron aggregations in the country under the former rules. has recently suffered successive defeats by Eastern colleges. this year being de- cisively whipped by both Princeton and Syracuse. Her material has been poor and she has been handicapped by rigid faculty restrictions, but this 1t is gem gether for the slump.
 Chicago held Cornell to a tie this season. but Cornell was easily defeated by Pennsylvania two weeks later. Minnesota took the Indians Into camp by score Of II to 6. but Carlisle had already been beaten IT to 0 by Har- ward. .s
 However. comparative scores are un- reliable. and many Western followers of the sport maintain that the teams In that section are still the equal of those In the East.

WAR TO BEGIN NOW ON
 TUBERCULOSIS IN NEGROES

After several days in Nashville help ing in the celebration of Tennessee's public school 'h'ealth day." E. c. Rout- zahn was in town yesterday making some arrangements for the campaign now to begin against tuberculosis among the negroes of Alabama and the entire South. and the North as we'll.
 The facility with which consumption spreads among the black race makes 1t equally q menace to both whites and blacks.
 This is due chiefly to causes which are entirely controllabls, many of them to be managed by getting the negro to help himself.
 An exhibition will be held at Tus- kegee, and much effort put forth to advance propaganda by means of the colored churches. schools. lodges and medical societies throughout the coun- try.

FORESTS ON FIRE ARMY-NAVY GAME
GREAT DAMAGE REPORTED IN
 FERRY AND HALE COUNTIES.
Fires Along the Track of Southern Railway Have Reen Burning
 for Several Days---Newa

Selma. Nov. 27.--(Special )--Em- ployes of the Southern Railway run ming out of this city on the Akron branch of that system, reports that great damage is being done along that road by forest fires. The forest fires along the line are not raging ones like those recently reported in the northwest, but they are doing consld- erable damage.
 The employees of the Southern report that thes efires extend from just be- yond Marion Junction, fourteen miles west of Selma, to Greensboro and be- yond. Along this line, a large num- Der of trees and underbrush are on fire and in many instances telegraph poles have been burned.
 On account of the fires along the railroad track. the trains on the Akron branch are compelled to make slow time for fear that a large tree may be burned and fall across the track. The forest fires along the railroad track are said to be more dangerous between Marion and Greensboro and the afternoon train for Akron which leaves here makes very slow time be- tween these points.
 The fires along the track of the Southern Railway have been burning for several days and the drouth of the past few weeks causes the underbrush to burn rapidly. Tho railroad men re- port that no attempt is being made to extInguish the fires and that they will probably burn until rain puts them out.

Wholesale Trade, Crop and Industrial
 Developments Show Improvement.
 New York, Nov. 27-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 developments, are generally in the di- rection of improvement. There is less idle machinery and the tone of affairs generally is still cheerful, but there are numerous irregularities noted in con- ditions in different sections and indus tries
 The situation as a whole, therefore. lacks some of the uniformity which characterized it some time ago. Most optimism and strength is exhibited in the leading lines of domestic manutact- ure and wholesale trade, particularly as to the outlook for next year and manufacturers are buying rlorH freely of most raw materials, while wholesal- CTS report evidences or a scarcity in many lines, especially cotton goods for spring and later delivery next year.
 Tn retail trade there is a good deal of irregularity, though the advent ot rains and snows. followed by ctldeT weather. helped to improve conditions as the week advanced.
 Southern trade. however. was rather dull throughout, due to warm weather and the low price of cotton and even in narts of the West, as well as the entire Eastern half of the country retail buy ing might be better.
 Tn some lines of trade, especially iron and steel there is disposition Co re- gard tariff discussion as a bar to full est activities. Collections are better except at the South. and money Is iu better demand for both purposes.
 Higher prices for leather, turn in the tide of shoe shipments, predictions of freer buying of railway materials oS iron and steel, and higher prices with summer sales of raw wool are lead ing incidents of the week.

Mir. PoIlecEx's Best Work. win, ThaNamm Enbwow Ww

With Thomas Dixon, Jr.
 In the work of preparing his novel, The Traitor" for the stage, Thomas Dixon, Jr., did not trust to his skill alone. He enlisted the services in col laboration of Charming Pollock. who for several years has been recognized as one of the best stage adaptors of novels in the United States When ''The Pit' was the most popular book in the country and people talked of the possibility of its appearance on the stage the wise critics said a dramatiza- tion of the work was absolutely impos- sible. Mir. Pollick performed the im- possible, presenting the stage with a play which maintained the position on the top wave of pubic favor for several years. He executed the same feat in the case of "The Secret Orchard" and several other novels which experts had condemned as unit for stage purposes. Mir. Dixon, in conjunction with Mir. Pol lock has evolved a play from "The Trait or" which will come as a most surpris ing revelation to the people who have read the book. Mir. Pollock himself claims it Is superior to any play of his previous achievement. Much interest is manifested in "The Traitor" which will be seen at The Grand. Matinee to- day at 2:30 and tonight.
