Ths Vile Play Question

Attention is called to letter from the Rev. George Eaves anent the vile play-"The Girl From Rector's." The Age-Herald was in error in saying that Mir. Eaves witnessed the play in question. His condemnation was based on what The Age-Herald's theatrical taster and dramatic critic said about it and also on what the billboards told.
 MT. Eaves is the esteemed pastor or the Pilgrim Congregational church on Nineteenth street He is at once scholarly and broadminded, and IS doing distinctly spiritual work in this community. As a critic, outside of the pulpit, he shows acute perception and while he is sometimes pungent he can always be counted on to be fair and kindly disposed. His letter appears on another page of this issue.

\ Great Record

Nearly $150,00O for the Young Mems Christian Association!
 At the rate the building fund is growing the $2o0,OO0 needed will be subscribed, and oversubseribed, before the end of the allotted time-14 days.
 Birmingham is making a great rec ord in money raising. When the Young Mems Christian Association set out to canvass for $200,000 in the short space of IA days, of which only 12 were working days, there were enough opti- mists active in the movement to feel and to say that failure was out of the question. Two hundred thousand dol lars sounded large. The undertaking would have seemed ambitious, to be sure, even in much more populous community. But the first day of the canvass had scarcely passed before everybody felt that the full amount would be raised.
 The best of it is that the people of Birmingham are contributing to the Young Mems Christian Association building fund with alacrity. Rich busi- ness men are subscribing for good round sums and those of moderate means are subscribing accordingly, but it is a noteworthy point that nearly every man approached has greeted the canvass CTS cordially and has filled up a sub- scription blank in a manner that be- tokened the cheerful giver. And thus it Is that each canvassing committee finds it's task easy and altogether pleasant
 The canvass is scheduled to close on January 28-next Friday; but if this campaign management should take a notion to shorten the time, the can vassers could, with very little effort, bring up the total to $200,000 by We'd nesday or Thursday.
 The Young Mems Christian Associa- tion has established a pace in doing things that will benefit the entire city.

FRANCIS B. CLARK,

From the Mobile Register.
 The Register recorded in yesterdays 8 issue the death of one of Alabama's old and respected citizens, Francis B. Clark, formerly of Mobile, but for many years a resident of Birmingham. MT. Clark was perhaps the oldest living subscriber to the Register. He was born in New York state of English descent. He came to Alabama as a young man, became interested in the development of this re- zion, and was one of the pioneers of railway construction. Associated with others he projected the Mobile and Ohio railroad, the great avenue of trade and travel that connects Mobile with St. Louis. He was vice president and di- rector of that railroad company for number of years. He was an organizer of the Mobile and Grand Trunk rail- road also, and president of that com- pany, a railroad afterwards completed under the name of the Mobile and Bir- mangham railroad. He served as rep resentative in the Alabama legislature. In his time he made his mark upon the public affairs of the state. He was engaged for some years here in the mercantile business. For the last 20 years of his life he lived in retirement enjoy ing good health and taking a very live ly interest in the worlds affairs MT. Clark was a man of solid attachments, successful in business and wise in coun- sel He was a good husband, kind fath- CT. and steadfast friend of highest in- tegrity, and deserved, as he received, the respect of all who knew him.
 He was father of sons all proving worthy of him, to-wit: Gaylord B. and Frank B. Jr, of Mobile, TOW dead, but held in loving memory by our people. and Shepherd and Burnett of New York, Gen. Louis V.

City and County Population

If Birmingham had a population Of 125,000 on the 1st of January it will have something like 130,000 when the census takers start to work the middle of April; and the growth of Jefferson county's population outside of Birming- ham will be at even a greater rate. The new town of Corey, which will be an extension of Ensley, will be bust ling center and the entire industri section of the county will be filling up with workmen during the next three months.
 In order to be counted in the census one does not have to be resident for any given time, but only have the in- tention of sojourning for a while with the view of probably becoming a citi zen. Jefferson county will come into the census with population of be- tween 250,000 and 3O0,OO0.

One Needed improvement.

First avenue out through Woodlawn is one of the toughest thoroughfares lead ing out of the city" declared an auto mobilist yesterday.
 This could be made one of the prettiest streets in Birmingham, and leads out to some of the best driveways In the dis trict, but it is sadly in need of improve ment just now.
 .eWoodlawn has good sidewalks and beautifully shaded streets. It has better than the average of public Improvements, most all of which have been made in the past two or three years, but the roadbed on this particular driveway is wretched.
 Birmingham should reach this section as early as possible and make the neces- sary Improvements, not only for the bene- fit of automobilists but the heavy traffic that is handled on this street Some Of the holes should at least be filled up"

Schools and Pavements.

q had occasion today to pass one of our public schools after the pupils had returned from recess, and was disgusted to see the condition of the street and pavement about the place. said resi- dent of the neighborhood.
 Not alone was the pavement made filthy with scraps of bread and meat and fruit which had been trampled on by the children, but it was made positively dan gerous by the banana skins and orange peels which were scattered broadcast. The street was filtered with paper and other tfash and the whole situation was in- dicative of untidiness and carelessness. I also observed that there were four trash cans on the pavemhent, evidently placed there for the purpose of preventing the very thing of which I complain.
 "If we are ever to have a city beauti- fuf we must begin by teaching the chil- dren to be neat and tidy in their actions as we'll as in their dress. I'm sure that a word from the teacher would be suf- hcient to make these children throw their scraps and litter in the trash can, and a little training along that line will find its effect in the home as well as on the street."

O~~'hSt Q OboSt
 B. Steiner the banker, formerly of BIT mingham, but for several years citizen of New York, is here for a two-weeks visit. He is looking unusually we'll and Is finding much pleasure in exchanging greetings with old friends
 My last visit to Birmingham was little more than year ago. said MT. Steiner. There have been splendid im- provements here since then. I always felt confident that Birmingham would some day be great bis city; and now 1t mas reached the stage when its rapid ex- pansion is assured.
 Tt is a good thing for Birmingham values that the municipal limits were ex- tended. The city will make fine show ing in this years census and census ng- ures mean far more in a financial and commercial way than was the case 50 or 40 years ago. Just before the last census when I was president of the Commerciai club. now the Chamber of Commerce. found that the city was seriously handi- capped by our small standing in the cen- sus table. As it is now, Birmingham will get in the 100000 class, and will snow larger percentage of gain than any other city in the United States, except, perhaps, Seattle.
 'The most important event in Ala bama's recent history was the defeat or the proposed amending of the constitution seeking to write prohibition in the organic law. And the fact that the majority against the amendment was sweeping was for good. Had the amend ment carried, Birmingham and the whole state of Alabama would have got a vast deal of advertising of the hurtful sort, for it would have shown to the world that was dominant. Alabama would have been put down in the Kansas class, and that would certainly have spelt backward movement, for many upbuild- CTS would have become disgusted, sold out and left for some state where liberal ideas prevail. But fortunately Alabama did the right thing, and it is being com mended and advertised in the right way from one end of the country to the other"
