"LittIe Memo"

Little Nemo,' which was presented at the Jefferson theatre last night, proved to be one of the most elaborate spectacles ever seen on a local stage. Both in the size of the company, the richness and variety of the stage set tings and the lavishness of detail, it would be hard to conceive of anything better of it's kind. The eye was catered to by brilliant ensembles which literally crowded the stage with living moving figures, while a back ground of scenic effects made a vista quite as gorgeous as any ever seen in that Dreamland which we are told is en- tered through the gates of poppy lidded sleep" The purely spectacular was given a wide range and scenes of pleasing magnificence succeeded each other in truly bewildering array. The costumes alone were sufficiently daz- zling, with out taking into consideration the generous expanse of pillar and arch and royal stairway and court and ter race and all the fascinating detail of real fairy1and set before the eyes of every day mortals.
 To be sure, Little Memo" is pri- marily a spectacle. It could hardly be anything else, for there is no plot and no sequence even on which a thread of story might be hung. It Is Just a page, or rather series of pages out of our best picture book-a realization of childhood fancies, even more daz- zling than ina gination has pictured, the whole being enlivened by comical antics introduced by three of the clev- crest comedians who have ever been to Birmin gham, and Gabriel, who has been a favorite here for number of years, always starring at the head of a com

SCHEDULE MAKERS
 ARE BUSY AT WORK

Pittsburg, January 24.-The National league playing season will be based on a schedule of 16S games, and upon that basis the joint schedule committee of the American and National leagues is work ing, although its labors here were not completed tonight. Another session will be held tomorrow, and in the meantime no Information will be given out by any of the members. Chairman c. H. Eb- betts of Brooklyn, chairman of the Ma tional league committed, said tonight that the work of the joint committee was the rearranging of conflicting dates and it was impossible to finish it tonight As to the length of the schedule, he said, that as chairman of the schedule committee he had been instructed by the six club presidents to arrange for 16S games. They had the determining power in voting 1t next month. and MT. Dreyfuss and him. self had no vote by reason of being mem- bers of the committee, therefore the ar engagements with the American league were being made on that basis.
 The committee on rules of the National league, which is also meeting here, was in session all day, and until almost mid night with the exception of short time tonight. when they attended a compli-
  fuss, president of the Pittsburg club. At this dinner President Ban Johnson of the American league and President Thomas J. Lynch of the National league ex- changed expressions of harmony and Ira- ternity between the two leagues. The rules committee, like the joint schedule committee, would not make public their deliberations, merely sending out the statement that some minor changes were being made.
 When the rules committee finished its deliberations just before midnight a statement of it's work was given out Two umpires are officially recognized, the one behind the plate as the um- pire in chief and the one behind the pitcher and on bases is designated as field umpire. Wild pitches and passed balls will be classed as errors.
 The amounts of fines for violations of rules are set forth and the umpire is also given power to clear the bench of substitute players of any team ex- pressing their disapproval of decisions in new rules. A batter throwing bat be- fore running, so that it hits either um- pire or catcher, will be fined for the first offense $5.
 A coachers box will extend 15 feet from the bases; foul strikes are desg- mated illegally batted balls," and no change can be made in the batter's box by batter after a pitcher is ready to deliver a ball. A ball passing an in- fielder and hitting an umpire in foul grounds permits a runner to take all the bases he can get.
 When teams of the east playing in the west or vice versa agree upon a. certain time to stop playing that they may catch trains, they must start the game at least three and a half hours before their train departs.
 Throwing a mask or glove at batted ball by a fielder entities the batter who becomes a base runner to three bases.
 These changes become the law of base ball in the National league at once with out further sanction

ARCHITECT IS PUT
 ON TRIAL AGAIN

Harrisburg, Pa, January A-Ihe thrlce postponed trial of Joseph M. Huston' architect of the s1S,ooOOOO state capitol, on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the state in certifying to an alleged false bill for desks, was begun here today.
 The drawing of the jury began almost immediately after court convened. To- morrow morning James Scarlet will open the case for the state, statement hay ing been made to the court that the men indicted with Huston had been either granted severances or were dead
 The trial began before Judge Kunkel. in the Dauphin county court here today. Huston is accused of conspiracy to de- fraud the state in certifying to the cor rectness of a bill for 292 desks supplied to the state capitol by John M. Sander son. furniture contractor of Philadelphia. The indictment sets forth that a bill for $61 ,94S contained a fraud of $351.
 Huston was the architect for the fon- struction of the capitol and was also re- tained to design the furniture. Millions of dollars worth of furniture. decorations and equipment were supplied and all legged frauds were discovered. The trial is the third to be held as a result of the expose

NOT MRS. T. G. SMITH.
Error in Report of Blind Tiger Raid.
 Gadsden News.

T5adsden, January 24-(Special.)-T re- port Saturday that Mrs. T. G. Smith had been arrested at Alabama City operating a blind tiger was an error. The officers so reported the name, but it should have been another Mrs. Smith, Mrs. T. G. Smith is one of the most highly respected ladies of the city and the report was an injustice to her.
 Chief Engineer W. H. Courtaney of the Louisville and Nashville railroad was in the city Saturday and inspected both the new bridge over the Coosa river and 4he new passenger station. Both struc- lures passed inspection satisfactorily and were form accepted.
 The auth ties of both Gadsden and Alabama city are very much aroused over the operations of tigers at Ala bama City in the steel plant district and assert that the raid on Friday night in which eight violators of the prohibi- ton laws were arrested is only an exam pie of what they are going to do if the illegal traffic is not stopped. The police of both places are working in conjunc- ton with the sheriff's office and the tigers are assured of a rocky road in plying their trade in the steel plant quarters hereafter

"Wine. Woman and Sonq."

1 f'Wine, Woman and Song" when it ap- peared in Birmingham for the first en- gagement some time ago, was something
 exceptional in the burlesque line. The
 production as given last night at the Bijou for the first performance of a . weeks engagement shows deterioration
 to typical burlesque. The show can boast
 nothing in the musical line. The major portion of the time, Cn the contrary, is given to horseplay, which comes danger ously near the threadbare and wearisome
 variety of the unadulterated burlesque. It must be admitted, however, that the piece is generously sprinkled with flashes
 of real merit. Bonita" who is billed as
 the star, monopolizes any claim for merit
 which might be advanced for the feminine
 contingent of the cast That she is beau
 tiful, as advertised, and clever as is inti-
 mated in the advertisements, cannot be
 doubted. She has the knack of rendering
 pleasing "coon" songs, and is given lib- eral and deserved applause for her ef-
 forts. The chorus, however is almost a misnomer. Appearing on the stage en- sembe the ladies seem to be somewhat out of proportion relatively, some of them evidently having been chosen by weight. Lew Hearn the chief comedian of the
 offering, may be dubbed a real fun maker. His diminutive size alone should be sufficient to make him a success as
 comedian, while his general appearance
 and mannerisms contribute. much to the
 desired irritation of the risibles. Asso-
 ciated with him and sharing his honors
 are David Dewitt Jones, who as the stage
 version of the Israeite could not be vast
 ly improved. and James Mullen, heavy
 weight who is irresstibly funny in the
 burlesque on Robert Mantell and at vari-
 ous other times.
 AS sort of olio given between the pri-
 mary and final musical periods, "The End
 of the World,'' playlet very familiar to.
 lovers of burlesque, is given in a man
 her which seems entirely pleasing to the
 audience. The goodnight offering is musical farce' by Mortimer M. Theise, '"The Millinery Maids" The maids In
 reality fail to appear frequently, and the boards are held for the most of the time by the three comedians.
 Wine, Woman and Song could not fairly be called poor. It apparently gained the approval of a large audience last night, and the applause at times was unbroken. Suffice it to say that with numerous cuts and improvements the piece would be vastly more meritorious. E T

Out After Postmastership.

BASEBALL CLUB
 CHANGES HANDS A. H. Woodward Buys Control ing Interest In Local Team FINE NEW PARK PLANNED Mir. Woodward Will Buy New Grounds and Erect Grandstand Second
 to None in Southern
 Baseball Circuit.
FINE NEW PARK PLANNED

A deal was completed yesterday which put the control of the Birmingham Base- ball association into entirely new hands. A. H. Woodward, better known as Rick Woodward, yesterday bought the controll- ing interest in the baseball club from j.. W. Mcqueen and Lee Bradley, the amount involved being in the neighbor- hood of sSO.0oo. MT. Mcqueen retains, it is understood, about one-third interest in the association and will continue as one of the directors.
 R. H. Baugh president of the associa- ton, will continue in office at the request of MT. Woodward, who will leave all de- tails of the clubs management to MT. Baugh.
 The change in ownership means a great deal for the Birmingham Baseball club and the city of Birmingham, as MT. Woodward is a man of means and thor ough sportsman, and his policy will be on broad lines and strictly for the interest of the game and in interest of true sport. While it is too late in the year to hope for a new baseball park, when the season opens MT. Woodward promises that Bir- mingham and its baseball club will have a home which shall be second to none in the south and soon as he returns from Orlando, Fla, he will lay plans to pro- cure park and build grandstand which will be entirely modern in every respect.
 Manager Carlton Molesworth will re- main in charge of the team for the sea son and the new ownership promises that he will have every assistance in procuring team which will hold it's own with the leaders for the coming season. While the iron-cIad salary limit rule will prevent any excessive outlay of money for new players, the baseball public can De as- sured that the team will not be composed of cheap men, but that Manager Moles- worth will be given free rein in securing the best men for the money.

At the Orpheum.

Bills equal in merit to the one at the Orpheum this week come few and far between. Clean and wholesome in ev cry respect and offering great variety, the performance Is certainly the best that has been offered at the Orpheum, and the afternoons and evenings at the vaudeville playhouse this week will prove most en- joyable to those who indulge.
 The number set on the programme as s'Maxim's Models IS the headliner and it is deserving of nothing less than the highest praise. A series of the world s famous paintings are reproduced with living posers and incidental electrical ef- fects. The act is of a thoroughly re- fined nature and is not only entertaining but contains educational features which add much merit to the number. The fol- lowing paintings are reproduced:

S. Lila: Satyr and the Nymphs, by Bougereaux; Song of the Lark, by Jules Breton; Railing of the Ferryman, by Ridgeway Knight; Spirit of 177e, by Will lard.
 Sam Watson's farmyard circus is real ly what the press agent would term a scream. Mr. Watson who, attired in the costume of a London coster, is quite an actor himself, has the cleverest collec- tion of animals ina aginable. There is a donkey, lamb, a pig, dogs cats, chick ems and geese Every bird or animal has some special stunt ana every stunt means a laugh. The beauty of the act is that the little performers do their part with so much spirit and such willing ness. They probably take. it from Mir. Watson. He's exceptionally clever.
 The Ollivotti troubadours, Spanish per formers on the violin and guitar, offer a musical act that is par excellence. Their interpretation is splendid and whether it be classic music or not they are equal ly able in their rendition The num- Der is one of the most meIStorious musi- cal acts that has been seen here this season.
 Marshall Montgomery Is perhaps the most extraordinary ventriloquist in yaude- vile today. MT. Montgomery, Of course, has his little dummy and the act is really a case of the inanimate talking. The per former has the most skilful control of his voice in both song and conversation. One feature of the act is MT Montgom- ery's ability to make the dummy sing "Lonesome' while the ventriloquist drinks, eats and smokes. Another stunt of the performer is to get down among the audience and there he makes George" the dummy, whistle. Through out this feature MT. Montgomery is smoking and smiling and one could never detect that it is the man and not the dummy doing the whistling.
 Patrice is very pleasantly remembered here. She appeared at the Majestic season or two ago and this year she has the same act, "The Lobbyist" which Is a very pleasing one. Patrice is clever actress and she is ably supported by Charles Hutchinson. The act abounds in humor and as whole is an unusually en- tertaining one.
 Les Myosotis, the late premier dancers of the Royal opera at Munich, have an extraordinary act. The act is thorough

These nVeiy and able funmakers overlooked no op- portunity to be delightfully."- nonsensi- cal and their nonsense hit the marx every time. They furnished what may be termed the "ginger' in generous quantities, while a very large ballet nlled the stage at intervals with maze of life and color, and in the back ground stretched away scenes from Little Nemo's wanderings through Sunderland
 Among these stage pictures which particularly deserve mention are, me Land of St. Valentine A Dream of the Fourth of July" and Slumb erland. The entire company took part and the effect at times was magnificent, partic- ularly the finals to the Fourth or July spectacle.
 Little Memo" is a rare treat, not only Tor young people, but for the oid as well. There Is so much to the per formance, space does not permit of more detailed description. There seems to be literally little of everything, particularly in the comedy realm Llt- tie Memo and the animal comedians will appeal most strongly to children, but the show is one that appeals to everybody. There will be another per formance tongiht, a matinee tomorrow afternoon and the concluding perform ance tomorrow night.
