chise from the fact, that did not be-
lieve that. It was for the. best interest
OF our city to have 1t adopted. doubt
ed, and do doubt the policy of giving
any company such valuable rights with
so little public discussion. have said,
and say 1t again, that in matter Of
so much Importance and covering so
much time, there should be more pub
lie discussion, more opportunity for
the voter to hear all that can be said
for and against the matter in order
that he may vote intelligently on the
question. In this case now before the
voters no such opportunity has been
offered. The subject has been presented
under conditions of personal antagon-
lisms, and not in spirit of fairness for
the best interest of the city. One is ac-
cused of trying to grind his ak, and
another for some personal aggrandise-
ment, and so on. This may be so, or
not, yet it leaves one in doubt as to
what Is best, or how to vote. There
fore, I say in case of doubt, take the
ISafe side.
1t seems to the writer that there is
no need of haste in this franchise mat
ter. 1t is too valuable to be lightly
right and then go ahead free from all
doubt
do not wish to question the motive
of any one. I simply urge the policy Of
informing the voter before you ask him
to cast his vote. Understand me, that
l have nothing against Jones and How
ey or Mr. Ingledue. but try to look at
this matter without personal prejudice
and from purely business standpoint
with the best interest of the city in
view. I make this statement so as to
put me square before the public.

Mr.. Kirby volunteers his own reply
and upon receiving it others were in

ST. Clair, and Abbott are known to be

The Gayety.

At the Gayety for the week commencing Monday the new, up-to-date Rentz Sant- ley company will be the attraction The offering this season is said to be decided ly up-to-date with many novel and in- teresllnS features. The vaudeville con tingent includes such well-known artists as Erik and 1'rixie English comedy musi- cal artists; Voclezca, the charming Hun garian transformation dancer. Sinclairs dainty English dancing dolls--ail the sbove making their first American appearance. The burleSque contingent Is headed by Olga Orlof.

Two new musical extrava- ganzas-the opening, The Married Widow, or Three Weeks of Soul Kiss" is all that it's name implies, and the closing burletta- The Girl With the Golden Vest is a laughing satire on the great dramatic success, The Girl of the Golden Vest affords ample oppor- tunity for coterie of clever comedians and for the presentation of several musi- cal numbers by a handsome bevy of show girls splendioy gowned in the latest creations of Harrison of London and Lan- dolf of Paris AS special feature Man ager Leavitt will present the beautiful Greclan dancer, Ayeshahara in ths Salome dance-the dance that fascinated Herod and won for Salome the head of John the Baptist. This feature will in- clude weird, fascinating music and spe- cial scenery. 1. Is now the sensation of Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin and New York.
 The following bevy of handsome girls will also be seen to advantage: Magic Ivie, Julie Lascelles. Nancy Kirby, Olga Renaud, Nita Howard, Belle Adams, Edna Emory.

pamrosch and His Orchestra.

The music festival to be held at the Hippodrome April 2S, 29 and 30, under the direction of Walter Damrosch, will be easily the most delightful event of the season in this part of the country. There will be local choruses, solos by distin- guished artists and the New York Sym phony orchestra as the attractions Five performances are to be given and there will be a great wealth of brilliant and popular orchestra music Not single dry or heavy number will appear on any programme.
 The prima donna of the festival will be Corinne Rider-Kelsey of international fame.
 Andre Tridon of New York writes of America's most eminent all round conduc- tor as follows:
 Walter Damrosch's national and in ternational fame as conductor Is apt to make the public forget his contributions to American music as a composer. The fault lies to a certain extent with MT. Damrosch, who generally neglects to in clude his own works in his orchestral programmes.
 If any opera, however, should be pop ular with an American audience when Americans begin to appreciate their own musical productions 1t ought to be The Scarlet Letter." based on Hawthorne's immortal novel, and which had many successful performances in New York. Boston and Philadelphia. One must not forget either the powerful Manila Te Deum' Walter Damrosch wrote in honor of Deweys victory.
 Finally Walter Damrosch Is the au- thor of many successful songs, among them Danny Deever." on the words of Kipling's famous poem which has been, sung everywhere by David Bispham.
 "Mr. Damrosch's friends have very often expressed a regret that he should not have devoted more of his time to com position, but the executive work entailed by the leadership of permanent organ ization like the New York Symphony, which gives an average of 300 concerts a year, does not allow the conductor much leisure for creative work
 "A less modest man would have done more for his own reputation. Walter Damrosch preferred to devote his energies to the advancement of orchestral music in America. How well he has succeeded his now splendid orchestra to BirminT- ham this month.

by virtue of her skill in bending and hand balancing. La Petite Laurie Is only E years of age and since she was 5 years old she has been appearing before the public in England and Australia. She has been in America just three weeks and this is her first appearance in the land of the free and the home of the brave"
 Miss Walters is d speciality pianist and premiere plano danceuse, which means that she dances and plays the piano at the same time, after the manner of Frank Tinney. Miss Waltlrs is also of foreign birth and one of the latest importations.
 The concluding number on the pro- gramme will be the moving pictures. There will be matinee each afternoon during the week at 2:3O, and at S:9o every night the usual evening performance.

Madame Emma Eames.

Madame Emma Flames, one of the great est musical celebrities in the world, will be heard at the High school auditorium on the night of April 23. Appearing with her is Emilo de Gogorza, the great bari tone, who is famous for his Individuality in musical art. His Individuality, indeed is said to isurpass that of any other bari tone now living.
 The Eames-Gogorza engagement is un- der the direction of DeLong Rice, and he has arranged with the Jesse French Piano and Organ company to handle the sale of tickets

"Throuqh Death Valley.

Through Death Valley" a melodrama traction at the Bijou In the biggest scene of the piece a rattlesnake is the most conspicuous character on the stage next to the hero. The two fight a duel to the death. Both are laboring under a handicap, inasmuch as both are strapped to stakes by rawhide thongs. The snake however, has this advantage. It is rain ing and as his skin becomes moistened his body grows elongated, bringing his fangs nearer and nearer to the hero $ face. If the hero adhered strictly to the Marquis of Queensbury rules, or what ever regulations govern such contests, the snake probably would be declared the victor. Happily for the hero there Is lurking behind huge powder one Gray Wolf, the champion rifle shot in his part of the melodramatic world. There comes a flash of lightning which ilum.nes the snake and man and old Gray Wolf lets blaze with his trusty rifle and the rattle- snake bites the dust
 Statisticians who deal with the affairs of the theatre have lately been timeing the length of applause which has gree ted several popular plays at the most exciting point of their development. At political conventions candidates have vied with each other to win more prolonged handclapping and shouting than their rivals. Hand- clapping that lasts 30 seconds seems some- what long when 1t interrupts the action of play. One of the most notable in- stances of an audiences enthusiasm took place on the first performance of the Little Minister" at the Empire theatre, New York. A more recent outburst Of note was that following the great thud act climax of the "Hippocrates'' on the evening of it's first performance at the Hudson theatre, New York city
 When "The Ninety and Nine was launched at the Academy of Music an audience that filled that mammoth temple of the drama to overflowing shouted it. self hoarse during almost the entire act after the exciting dash of the locomotive through the burning prairie. Only few weeks ago when Through Death Valley" was given it's first performance in New York an audience had been worked up to such a pitch of suspense that with the hero's escape from a horrible death in a most sensational manner men and women shouted and waved their programmes and made such a demonstration that the company was obliged to respond several times to curtain calls.
 Whatever good scenery, excellent company and play replete with dariu; situations can afford in the way of en, tertainment will be offered the theatre gosrs of Birmingham at the Bijou theatre this week when Through Death Val ley' will be presented for their inspec- tion. The play, which Is melodrama of high order, has achieved rather un- usual success this season and Is one of the very few popular price productions

feet. Miss Wakeman admirably suited her role. Her stately figure, her queenly face and mein, her graceful and regal bearing, and her exquisitely trained voice, all com bined to make her an ideal Lady Mac sbeth. In the sleep walking scene her work was piece of finished art. Of the other players space permits a brief men tion of only one or two. Arthur DeBrean- ski made a dignified and fine Duncan; Shepherd Mark T. Wilson made satis- factory Malcolm, and Mill Evison was extremely amusing as the porter that an- swered the fearful knocking at the door after the murder. Of the other ladies in the play mention must be made of the thorough and efficient work of Miss Lucy Cole as Hecate in the witch scene"
