The climax of a week Of more than
 usual interest twill be the matinee con- cert at the Jefferson theatre Saturday afternoon, which will be the second in Mrs. Truman Aldrichs series of musical attractions. The coming of Liza Lehman and her quartet will be one of the most | brilliant musical events of the winter | The fact that they appear on the after | neon of Christmas eve rather adds to | the interest of the occasion than other wise and Mrs. Aldrich In fixing upon this date gave another evidence of her far seeing cleverness. She advanced several
 good reasons the other day as to the reason of Liza Lehmann's engagement on a day which at first seemed so in- opportune. At first blush," she said, | "Christmas Eve afternoon seems out of the question. A number of people have approached me on the subject and the
 usual question is, Why on earth have

No one | would have time to prepare one.

 The bill will ask that the lessee road be made to show cause why 1t should not comply with the clause providing that the same rates apply to shipments between Chattanooga and points in Georgia as are applied by the Georgia railroad commission to intrasta te points.
 It Is charged by the Atlanta freight bureau that the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad has been ap- plying rates fixed by the southern classification bureau, which in many in- stances are higher than the commits sion's rates.
