Power of a Song.

Oftimes incidents occurring to members of a theatre audience are far more dra- matic than those evolved in the play wright's brain. It may be due to a cer- tain phase of the play, line of the dia- logue, or the theme of the song number, and the old actor looks with dread upon a line or situation of the sort that will in- volve a display of emotion on the part of some sentimental or excitable woman or child sitting .out-front.'
 Recently, at the theatre in little Penn sylvania town. a very serious incident was caused by an unoffending song. Mrs. Skelly, a widow, who had lost two sons in the Spanish-American war. attended the Orpheum, which is a vaudeville the atre On the bill was Sadie Naffe a singing comedienne. At the close of her turn she came out attired in a military costume and sang Ernest R. Balls great march song, True Heart"
 The story the song tells is of gallant soldier lad, who after bidding a fond farewell, marches bravely to the front never to return, for in the fray he gives his life for his countrys cause.
 During the action of the song Mrs. Skelly displayed great emotion, and at the closing line of the second verse, DIG turing the. soldier sweetheart dylng on the star-lit battlefield, the bereaved widoW gave vent to a flood of tears and passion ately sobbing until the entire audlehce was weeping in sympathy.
 Tenderly the ushers led her 10 tne ooot !, where her emotion reached the limit or endurance. as she fell fainting in their arms The manager of the theatre ex- pressed his heartfelt sympathy In word and deed and sent the widow home in a cab

went to Montgomery to ask the legis- lature not to interfere by prohibition, with the schools of Mobile. Among the ladies was the daughter of Admiral Semmes, of the old navy, a charming woman. The legislature was surround ed with praying bands of long whis- kered men, sun-bonneted women and little children, trying to force the leg islature by prayer, singing and bull dozing to vote the state dry.
 These Mobile ladies simply desired to be heard by the legislative committee, having the matter in charge, but they were treated with scant courtesy even by the legislators, while the praying band made life a burden to the honorable women, and by insult and exclamations too unpleasant to. print, fairly drove them away from Montgomery, indignant and full of sadness, fearful and disgusted. Women who had been honored by whole nation. by emperors and kings, in trying to save the public schools of their home city from ruin by this prohibition craze, treated in their homo state as though they were criminals.
 It is this state of things which makes Alabama in a class by herself, it dead ems any enthusiasm towards making her a greater and more growing common wealth. puts the crank and the emotional locker after other peoples morals on the high pedestals snubs and insults the great and good and high born, and makes the grand city of Mobile look forward from day to day for the inevitable slump in business, and causes every man to Won- der if he is actually alive and in his right mind, or whether everybody has gone "daffy."

The people act as though they were sit ting on an open barrel of gun powder, with drunken negro smoking cigarette behind them.
 They act as though an earthquake was due and they stand ready to rush out in the street and the parks at the first sway of the tall buildings. The old Battle house of history was burned down and a new ten-story hotel has been built on it's site, and today a ten ant could not be secured on any terms, though it is believed the owners will open 1t and lose money, as the present fine hotels are not doing any too we'll. The sch ools of Mobile are supported by the money from licenses and the city has as fine sch ools as any in the world. With the license cut off by prohibi- tion there is no way to support the but by an additional tax of 20 per cent. and taxes are too high already. The neople simply cannot stand the raise, and it is a serious problem what to do with the public sch ools, as teachers feel that their salaries are to be cut in two. and many are trying to find new fields for their work.
