The American who is confident that
he recognized Ling on the street yester

he dislkes notoriety. Furthermore he

Rejoicing At Austin.

Austin, Tex, January 1S.-The an- nouncement here today by the Associated Press of the triumph of the state in it's litigation with the Waters-Piedce com pany, where the state secured a verdit of $ ,6O0000 in the way of money verdict. and the custer from the state, was joy fully received by the states attorneys to- day The attorney general said: q am very much gratified over the results of this suit. It Is a tremendous victory for the people. Law must triumph over wrong, the strong must yield to the same force that the weak are compelled to obey.
 We have fought the hardest legal bat tie in the history of the state and every one upon whom responsibility has rested has discharged his full duty"
 As to what effect the decision will have upon the trial of Pierce in this city this month is not advanced at this time, but it is generally understood that this will give the state prosecution far more back bone than reversal would have given. and in consequence his trial, if 1t is gone into will be much more strenuous than if 1t had anticipated this verdict, or the decision of the higher court had not been made known at this time.

nThe Devil"

The James D. Barton company of play CTS gave a capital performance Of me Devils at the Bijou theatre last night opening a weeks engagement. Lionel Lawrence takes the principal role, that of the omnipotent and omniscient Dr- Miller who is none other than Ills sa- tanie Majesty masquerading as man ol the world, a disguise. by the way, whleh he often adopts. MT. Lawrence IS ah actor of commanding presence and he fully grasps the opportunities aHoroeo him in the character of Dr. Miller. In the first act he appeared a trihe too robust. There was not enough of the insinuating, subtle quality of lne devil In his acting. put perhaps thls was due mere ly to his conception of the requirements ot situation and environment. for in the second act he became more the popular conception of the devil, d person of ex- treme tinesse, of delicate wit and winning manners, which serve only as a cloak to his vlllainy.
 "The Devil' has already been seen in Birmingham several times and the story is familiar. As satire and a disserta- lion on the inherent weakness of hu- manity the play is extremely interesting It is d satire that IS hard to dispute and it Is a comedy that evokes more or less uneasy laughter. There are times when it seems uncomfortably true and perti- nent The devil on the stage has always been popular, from the earliest morality plays oown to Faust" and in whatever guise he is presented he invariably com mands respectful attention. The personal ity of its chief character IS a strong fac tor in the success of ''The Devil" but the play in itself is bold and distinctive and presents what seems to be new idea.
 In addition to MT. Lawrence, Richard Sherman as the artist, acquitted him. self well, while Josie Slater as Mimi. Florence Hastings as Olga, Salome Park as Elsa, the heiress, and Walter c. Per cival, as Harman Holman, gave good support. The play Is admirably staged.
 At the conclusion O. lne second act a silver loving cup of generous proportions was presented to MT. Lawrence on the stage in view of the audience. The gift came from members of the company and was suitably inscribed on the one side with the list of donors and on the other with the announcement of the occasion. MT. Lawrence made an eloquent little speech of thanks. The gift was entirely a surprise
