THE ENGINES.

The large engine is in need Of a
general overhauling, which, By the
way, will net be very easy to do, as
the small engine is not strong enough
to carry the load while the big one is
being repaired. AS | did not see the
small engine run | cannot say in what
condition it runs but as it has just
been fitted with a new cylinder, /
would judge it in good shape.

Nothing slow about the lovers of musical art in Birmingham. Determined to give us city with reputation for featuring only the best in musical en- tertainments, those who are acting in this great movement announce the coming of this eminent pianist whose wonder ful power to charm and delight has com manded the attention of the musical world.
 Mme Julie Rive-King, the inherited musical genuis made her first appearance in public at the age of as a genuine prodigy. She mastered her art under such eminent teachers as William Mason and S. B. Mills In New York city and later, with Blassman, in Dresden; Rubinstien in Berlin, Renecke in Leipsic, and finally with Liszt in Weimar.
 s After scoring great successes with the Euterpe and Gewandhaus orchestras in Leipsic, she appeared in other musical centers of Europe. She has played in all the large cities in the United States and Canada, appearing over 200 times with the Theodore Thomas orchestra, 70 times with the New York Philharmonic under Seidrs baton and on innunerable occa- sions with other eminent conductors.
 Mme Rive-king is especially noted for her brilliancy, vigor and great power. Her playing is extremely masculine, her tone broad and noble, her conception master ly, and her interpreting superb, especial ly adapting her to the task of interpreting works of agnitude-concerts and sonatas. She was therefore rightly the first to play in America the Saint-Saens concerto in c minor with the Thomas orchestra, and the Paderewski and Tschail1owsky con- certos with the Boston Symphony orches- tra under Nikisch
 Nine. Rive-King has not only distin- guished herself as pianist but also as composer and arranger of classical works Her programmes include all the well known classics in the repretoires of the great virtuosi together with many novel, ties of the modern schools.
 That this recital will be one of the great events of the new year there is no ques- ton. Such an arrangement of prices has been made that will crowd the Jefferson to overhowing
 Every one should see about securing their seats early. Special arrangements as to prices will be given our schools

Dun & Co.'s Review.

New York. January SIR. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Credit and confidence are again estab- nsaed on a firIner basis at the opening of the new year than at any time in the past l5 months. Progress Is steady and naturally slow. but is along very safe and satisfactory lines. The statement of cornmerciali failures issued this week clearly shows a gradual wearing away of the effects of the financial pressure of the early months of last year and this neces- sarily improved underlying conditions While conservatism still eharacterizes operations tn many markets the develop ment is along safe lines
 Iron and steel mills continue well oc- cupied on business previously booked and orders constantly being placed. some of them for a considerable quantity. Some large sales of pig iron are noted this week ard a further demand is expected the z ear advances.
 There is evidence of renewed activity in the dry goods trade, some buyers now being disposed to place orders for spot goods and for future delivery which were disinclined to operate a few weeks ago.
 In woolens much will be determined in the market when openings to occur next week are accomplished facts.
 There are some inquiries for yarns, but buyers defer operations and cotton yarns are heavy. Worsted yarns are strong but trading is limited.
 The easier tendency in hides is due to the reasonable deterioration of the present take-off and not apparently to any inherent weakness in the market Holders generally are firm. There is a tendency to firmness in the different mar kets
 Leather continues dull but prices of this description are firm in anticipation of renewal of the demand after the middle of the month.

QUIET RULES IN
 GENERAL TRADE
Active Preparations Are Made
 for Spring Business
THE OUTLOOK IS CHEERFUL
Iron and Steel Markets Are Dull as Regards New Business, the Demand for Basic Pig Being the
 Only Live Factor.

New York. January S.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Post-holiday quiet rules as yet in gen. eral trade, but active preparations are making for the spring seasons trade by jobbers while retailers are anxious to clear up accumulated stocks of winter goods Temporarily, trade has been re- tarded by storms followed by zero tenn peratures extending from the Canadian line south to Texas, and east to the AL legheny mountains: but good effects from the arrival of long expected cold weather are already noted at the west
 Generally speaking, the outlook is one of cheerfulness tempered by eonserva- tism.
 On the whole the iron and steel mar kets are quite dull as regards new bus mess. Pig iron is inactive, demand for basic pig in the east furnishing about the only prominent item of activity.
 Stocks of leather are also reported well sold out and shipments to consumers are large. Hides very strong.

 ON REGULAR BILL

Columbus, Ga.. January S.-(Special)- Jack Fancy, a balloonist who is making little telephone wires for the fact that he is not now a corpse, or at least badly maimed.

 He released his parachute and clung to the wires in mid-air although the wires

sagged to the extent that every moment the spectators thought they would break.
 Paney's rescue was effected in daring manner. Another man of the show climbed to the top of tree that was nearly as high as the wire. Reaching out he grasped Paneys foot and pulled him out until he was suspended over the tree, when the balloonist released his hold on the wire falling astraddle the other man s neck. There was a great commotion in the tree top, but the men managed to swing onto the branches and reached the ground in safety.

JEFFRIES DON'T
 WANT TO FIGHT

Denver, January S.-The following tele- gram was received today by the sporting editor of the Denver Times from James J. Jeffries, in response to a message ask ing the former champion under what con- dition he would re-enter the ring to fight Jack Johnson for the championship:
 Would not think of re-entering the ring at present under any conditions.
 For the present at least this apparently disposes of the reported offer of s10O00O made by a number of Mauma. New, men for a fight between Johnson and Jeffries for the championship.

 Knights, pages, attendants, etc.
 An idea similar to that worked out in the dream romance "The Road to Yes terday," was responsible for When Knights Were Bold," played by Francis Wilson and his company at the Jefferson theatre last night. When Knights Were Bold'' is a burlesque on broad lines and it is very funny. MT. Wilson is vastly entertaining as a strictly up-to-date scion of a noble family transported in his din- ner clothes to the days of old and forced to play heroic role against his better judgment The comedy is, however, con siderably spun out and so much of it along the same lines gets rather tiresome before the three acts are rounded out and the action is brought to such close as the most daring playwrights affect when they reach the point where they think action should stop. The lines are witty. The laughs are frequent and perhaps it is the sheer abundance of horseplay at times that makes the piece tiresome.
 Suffering from a severe cold, Sir Guy De We're bids his guests goodnight, ap plies remedies internal and external and falls into a deep sleep during which he is supposed to be transported back hun dreds of years to the days when knights were bold and fought for their ladies fair. The dream idea is quite ceverly devel- oped with a sort of tableau at the back of the stage. Sir Guy remains modern himself but finds his sweetheart and other of his acquaintances playing the parts of their remote forbears. The juxtaposi- ton of twentieth centIry notions with the customs and manners of another and older period afford the playwright oppor- tunities for many bright lines and comic situations MT. Wilson as Sir Guy is kept on the stage nearly all the time during the three acts. Miss Adelaide Will son of Atlanta is a member of MT. Will sons company She has a fetching per sonality.
 "The Time, the Place and the Girl" The scene of 'The Time. the Place and the Girl" which comes to the Jefferson theatre today, matinee and night, is laid in the mountains of Virginia, at a rest cure" whither Happy Johnny Hicks and his pal Tom Cunningham have fled from the result of escapade of Cum ninghams in a gambling house in Bos- ton. The complexities of the plot occur while the rest cure is in a state of quarantine with the servants all absent. The production is unusually artistic, and the chorus, from the La Sale theatre.
