The confusion is greatly regretted by MT. Field and his company, but mistakes will sometimes be made and cannot be helped.
 While many people have reserved seats with both houses, they have time to correct their mistake.
 Celebrating his twentyfifth anni- versary MT. Field has the greatest minstrel performance he has ever given and the most elborate pro- duction It is an instance where a fortune has been lavished in making the year a famous one. In Memphis Al Field stands for all that is the best in minstrels. He has com pany that surpasses any he has had before, and the anticipated engage ment in Memphis is one that creates unusual interest.
 Should the Lyceum Theater apply for any receive an injunction, bond will be given and the disputed point will be settled later in the courts. The three performances, however, will be given at the Jefferson Theater, as announced.
 Those who have been asking the question are now answered. 1 The Commercial Appeal has re- trained from agitating the matter or from using arguments of either side, preferring to remain silent until it could be positively stated where Al Field would appear and when.
 The sale of seats opens this morn ing and the opening performances, will be given at the Jefferson Theater Wednesday night, injunction or no in- junction.
 The point having been settled fol once and for all times, the public car reserve seats for the performances is

AL G. FIELD IS
 IN A MUDDLF
Two Big Theaters Want His Minstrels Say They Have Him Booked, But
 He Says It's Only One.

The problem as to where Al G. Field and his popular minstrel men will play has at last been settled so far as Field is concerned, says the Memphis-Commercial-Appeal.
 He will appear at the Jefferson theater.
 Both the Jefferson and the Lyce- um theaters have announced the en- gagement and the public mind has been much confused. Even Al C.. Field did not know until yesterday which theater would be honored with his presence.
 In a lengthy letter Al. Field ex- plains the complications and con- fusion which could neither be helped or avoided.
 Under the laws of the land the prior contract must always hold good unless for logical reasons cancelled.
 January, one year ago, Al Field was booked by Klaw & Erlanger.
 This was before the organization of a counter syndicate, or the open door, which was launched in the fol- lowing June.
 Fearing that he had become lost in the shuffle of events, Field made a second contract with Albert Weis. This was six months later. While at his farm in Columbus, Ohio. Klaw and Erlanger forwarded his winter contracts and he was booked at the Jefferson theater.
 Until he could be positively right Al Field would not say where he in- tended to play. He is just and cor rect man and desires to treat every one fairly. For twenty-five years he has been in the minstrel business and has never been involved in a lawsuit over contract.
 Having investigated fully, and be- ing legally assured of his rights ill the matter he has definitely an- nounced at which theater he will ap- pear in Memphis.
 I 1eSl6Iudy dllSl bOS QulSlGS his manager, wired The Commercial Appeal from Chattanooga:
 Al G. Fields Minstrels will ap- pear in Memphis at the Jefferson theater on Wednesday and Thursday September 2S and 29.'
 This was the message. This settles tho vo,,ob vovod u,,ocfiOn fnr Onca and for all times.
 Both the Lyceum and the Jeffer son have announced the engagement. Both open the sale of seats this morning. An injunction proceedings will follow the decision, but bond will be made and the three perform ances announced for Memphis will be given at the Jefferson Theater.

DON'T BREAK DOWN.

Severe strains on the vital organs, like strains on machinery, cause break-downs. You can't over-tax stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak or run- down, or under strain of any kind, take Electric Bitters the matchless, tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de Sande, of Kirkland, H., writes: That I did not break down, while enduring a most severe strain, for three months, is due wholly to Elec- tr:c Bitters.' Use them and enjoy health and strength. Satisfaction positively guaranteed. soc at all druggists.
