At the GaYety.

None but dyspeptic could sit through a performance of Rice and Barton's Big Gayety company and not enjoy the com edy lines of real comedians and lively dancing of a shapely chorus. It is play ing here this week and at the matinee yesterday afternoon and the perform ance last night the cosy Gayety theatre echoed repeatedly with rolls of hearty laughter
 The show is a good one and a large audience should greet it at each perfor- nance during the rest of the week. Charles Barton assumes the leading role and is the very embodiment of fun. He is ably assisted by Jeff Healey, Frank Pierce, Len Miller and Pete Kelley. while Annie Dunn Mullen, Camille Farlardaux, Tessie Burns, LaVerne Healy and Alice Maizee finish out a strong cast.
 There is a definite plot to the show, which makes it quite different from other burlesques. There are several scenes while the song and dance ensembles by the chorus are of the kind that make you remember. The chorus is far above the average, and the liveliness of tho young ladies composing it makes the show go with a swing.
 One of the most shapely and charming of the group is Lillian De Turk, who is to be found In the front row of each en- semble. She is an exceptionally hard worker and made a decided hit with the audience especially in the Oriental song and French dance of the last act, while the ragtime number of Some Day, Me- linda," in which she and Miss Camille Farlardaux led, was encored repeatedly. This young lady has played in Blrming- ham during the last two seasons and was well remembered here.
 May Penman is another good looking girl who is making a pleasing impression by her work in the chorus She is shape ly, has a sweet face and is an exceed ingly lively dancer.
 Frank Pierce has voice that is far lesque and in his sketch with Alice Mai zee is very entertaining. Miss Maizees S sheath gown song was also well received. The Miskell- Hunt Miller musical trio was pleasing, while Pete Kelley and Harry Bartlett caused an uproar of laughter with their acrobat act. Camille Farlar- daux in songs and limitations also made a hit, receiving several encores.
 Altogether the show is great. It has all of the high class burlesque features with the slap stick cut out, while It is full of spice and ginger.

SOME FREAKS OF LAST WEEKS STORM Cyclone Noteworthy for ES-
 capeS from Death BIG HOUSES TURN TURTLE Experiences of Stewart Family in Gull man Were Probably Most Har-

 Escapes.
BIG HOUSES TURN TURTLE
BY WALTER HARPER.

It is estimated that not less than 200 homes and other buildings were destroyed in the cyclone that passed over North Alabama last Friday. In all this mad fury of the elements and crashing of timber but one life was lost and that an infant that had not yet got a firm hold on life. It was only two days old and only a breath was required to send it back to the strange and unknown world from whence. it came.
 Several others were more or less injured, but-the fact that many more were not killed is the wonder of all who look on the wrecks left in the wake of the storm. The lack of fatalities is the feature of the newspaper stories of the catastrophe.
 Looking on the devastation, giant trees twisted like straws, iron pots and stoves crushed into scrap. strong houses shat tered and their timbers scattered to the four-winds, one is strongly impressed with the fact that "God rides upon the storm"

The Rays.

Johnny and Emma Ray, two entertain CTS who visit Birmingham every years and are very popular here, began a weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre last night in their musical farce, King Casey.s Many of the favorites who were. with the organization last season have been retained and the show has all the entertaining qualities which made it a success on. it's first presentation in Bir- mingham MT. Ray is comedian with characteristics just a trife different from any other of his contemporaries on the stage. He plays the part of quaint old Irishman who is first a janitor in the Waldorf-Astoria and later masquerades as the king of the Island of Lala Pa zaza, taking the place of his twin brother, a Casey who is the real king of the island.
 Both MT. and Mrs Ray have many opportunities in the piece. Mrs. Ray talk ing the part of an heiress in search of a title. Dan Coleman is still play ing opposite to MT. Ray and is a cap ital foil. William Lewellyn has . pleas

WILL CONSIDER
 WATER MATTER
Council Committee Will Meet to Dis. cuss Proposal Submitted by
 North Birmingham

The water committee of the City Coun- cil will meet tonight in the office of the city attorney for the purpose of consider ing the petition of the city of North Bir- mingham for a water franchise. A
 North Birmingham desires to secure the right to furnish Birmingham with what is pronounced an abundance of pure wa ter from the Sipsey and Mulberry forks of the Warrior river.
 The petition for this franchise has been before the City Council for a considerable period, but has never been acted upon. Right now, it is claimed, the agitation concerning the water supply is at it's height, and it is generally believed fin municipal circles, that the council will grant the franchise.
 The rumor prevails that in case the council takes this action, Mayor Ward will veto the granting of the franchise. When asked the pointed question yester- day Mayor Ward was at first evasive, and finally refused point blank to reply.

CONTRACTS MAILED TO ALL THE BARONS

Carlton Moesworth, manager of the Birmingham club, sent out the contracts to all the players yesterday:-
 The Barons are expected to report March To-
 "As is known" stated the manager, when the players turn up there will be many new faces. But I feel sure that they will make good. l have absolutely no fear concerning the outfield, the catch ing department and first and third base positions. From all reports, too. Bowen and Ellam will prove valuable men,
 T am resting easily too, as concerns the pitchers. Our staff will be composed entirely of young men with the exception of Ford. But Bauer, Fleharty and Robin- son will shine, l believe, and I am abso- lutely confident concerning Dickson and Moore. Nolly's record in the Ohio State league was very good, indeed"
 Molesworth stated that the sale of Robertaile had not be completed as yet He desires to sell, but if he can do no better will accept an infielder belonging to Binghampton in exchange.

 Qualified to Vote.

John c. Forney, attorney for Aldermen Causey and Mcdonald, who recently pe- titioned the supreme court of the state to pass on the validity of their claims to represent the Eleventh ward, received mo- tice yesterday that the court has acted favorably.
 This case was in line with the recent de- cisions of the courts which were to the effect that the King Greater Birmingham bill was unconstitutional.
 From the time the petition was filed by Aldermen Causey and McDonald and dur ing the period in which the court con- sidered the matter the alderman have refrained from voting in the council de- Alterations At the next meeting, how ever, MT. Forney states the two mem bers of the council will again exercise their right of vote and to officially rep resent the people of their ward.

Majestic Vaudeville.

The bill at the Majestic theatre this week is by far the best that has been offered at the little theatre beautiful this season. There Is but one act that is the least trife weak and the short coming of this act is probably empha- sized by the excellence of the others.
 The act of Mazuz and Mazette, com edy acrobats, is really a big novelty While the acrobatic stunts are excel lent they are the least part of the act. The antics of Mazuz, the male member of the pair, are splitting. Attired as a tramp his very walk is amusing. His take-off on expert jug glers set the house in an uproar last night and he and Mazette made things lively for 20 minutes.
 The Four Masons and Corinne Frances present an absurdity entitled "The Country School" that is very laughable. The act Is one of the head liners of the bill, and it Is full of com edy. The portrayal of the country school is a wonder, and filled with good singing, little extraordinary dancing and a lot of nonsense the act is one of the best of the present season
 Fred Duprez a parodist, is an en- tertainer of the first water. Mr. Duprez's stage setting Is an unusual entertainer is a singer, a clever joke ster and a good comedian. He got off some good parodies last night and his act was highly enjoyed.
 Harry J. Dunbar's goat circus is one of the most unusual acts imaginable. The thought of training a goat seems ridiculous, but MT. Dunbar has cer- One can walk pole, another climbs a ladder and a little old black and white spotted animal is a remarkable clown. Miss Ethel Gilkey's songs and inn presentations are the makeup of an act of high class. Miss Gilkey is the late star of the Show Girl" company and she is a thorough entertainer. Both her songs and her impersonations were good last night.
 The offering of Will Rawls and Ella Won Kaufman Is a black face comedy sketch, entitled "Mush." MT. Rawls is good in his makeup of a dry-witted country negro. He is ably supported by Miss Von Kaufman.
 Charles Dill and Emily Ward are singers and dancers of fair ability. The audience appreciated their act last night. During the course of the act Miss Ward wears what is termed ''the diamond dress" She costume is one of the most gorgeous stage dresses proba- bly, ever seen here, being fairly covered apparently with diamonds.

BOARD INDORSES PHYSICAL CULTURE Work Will Soon Begin on
 School Extensions MANY NEW BUILDINGS Paul Hayne Will Be Converted Into High School and Grammar
 Buildings Will Be Great
 ly Enlarged.

The Birmingham Board of Education held a meeting yesterday afternoon and formally adopted the resolutions indors- ing physical culture and physical wrok in the Birmingham schools.
 Most of the other time of the meeting was taken up with a free discussion of the manner in which the board will spend the money that comes from the sale of the school bonds. These bonds will probably be sold this month and the board will then begin at once to use it conservatively in spreading the school system of the city.
 Dr. Phillips stated yesterday that near ly every school in town Is overcrowded. The Martin school needs more room as does the Ullman the Paul Hayne and the Powell. The High school, he says, has reached it's limit and while it might hold 50 more the building would be crowded.
 According to the plans of the board one of the first moves will be to turn the Paul Hayne school on Avenue and Twentieth street, south, into a complete high school. The front building will be torn down and a good-sized structure erected to conform with the new build ing behind. The two high school build ing would then care for the children a number of years.
 The object of the board is concentra- ton. Even when Greater Birmingham is realized there will be only two high schools in the whole city and as years go by the two will be increased in size while the Lakeview will later be made larger,
 The board is very eager to go ahead with a school for East Birmingham, but nothing can be done until after the tangle in the courts is settled.

Max Fiaman Seat Sale.

Seats will be ready at g o'clock this morning for the engagement of Max Fig man at the Jefferson theatre Thursday. matinee and night, in the splendid com edy drama, "The Substitute" by Eve lyn Greenleaf Sutherland and Beulah M. Dix There should be no question of the result. Last season MT. Figman was a comparative stranger, but he more than made good" and it is doubtful if the theatre will be large enough to hold the people who want to see him this season.
