DANCING AND SKATING
Big Crowd Gathered at the southside
 Rink Last Night

The skating and dancing auditorium conducted by Professor Mcconnell at the Southside rink has proved highly sue cessful. The opening evening was jam and the Saturday attendance was up to expectations.
 Yesterday afternoon. notwithstanding many other attractions, the attendance was large and at the evening assembly the floor space was taxed to its fullest capacity to accommodate those dancing and skating. A very large number of spectators watched the two throngs on the floor. The music, by a brass band is quite the best yet offered for such entertainment.

around, was astonished to find so many people in Birmingham. Had the cen sus enumeration been taken yester- day. the total would have passed the 100000 mark.
 The Trades Council celebration at East Lake was a great success. From morning until late last night the grounds were thronged, and beside the regular amusements, the committee had prepared programme of Is events practically every one of which went off in fine style.
 There were boat races, swimming contests, pie and cake eating contests and a prize waltz. The Birmingham Athletic club favored with a very ex- citing game of water polo, which was witnessed by hundreds who lined the bank. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. and not one left until the last rocket In the fireworks exhibition which closed the day, had been fired

Viaduct Proposition
 Will Probably Go Over

The proposition of the city to the railroads on the viaducts will not be completed at the meeting of the City Council tomorrow night.
 City Engineer Murray Nicholson said last night that he would be obliged to ask the committee for two weeks more time in which to complete the work which has been assigned to him. This will no doubt be granted, and the mat ter continued again.
 MT. Nicholson is going Into the mat ter thoroughly, so as to obtain the ex act figures nearly as possible on viaducts and subways for both Twenty eighth street and First avenue.
 This is quite a large undertaking, as he not only has practically to make the

 At the High school a ten-room addition has been secured by the use of two ad- joining residences. It Is now considered absolutely necessary that work soon be- gin on new high school building in some other section of the city.
 A particularly interesting feature of the meeting tonight will be the annual report of John L. Parker. showing the board s activities for the past 12 months, and giving his recommendations.

Negro Shoots Point Blank At
 John McPherson Of Swift 6 Go.

It is understood that Harris is a dis charged employe of Swift & Co He came to the offices drunk yesterday morning and addressed some insolent remarks to Mir. McPherson. who is said to have struck him with stick. Upon this the negro drew an automatic revolver from his pocket and fired one shot point blank a. MT McPherson. J B. Scott, also an employe of Swift & Co.,, probably saved McPhersons life, as he struck the negro S arm up as he fired. The bullet went wild.
 Dashing out of the store he ran up Morris avenue toward the power plant and in spite of several efforts to stop him succeeded in getting away.
 MT. McPherson resides at 1725 Copeland avenue. and has been an employe of Swift & Co., for some time. He continued to work yesterday

plans in order to estimate the cost on four crossings, but there are half dozen different kinds of subways and viaducts, all of which he intends to in clude in his report.
 When he finishes his survey of the situation, he would be ready to go right ahead and build subway or viaduct, shoud the city decide to take up the matter itself.
 It now seems probable that the coun- ell meeting will be a very brief one. The salary for aldermen ordinance Is losing in popularity and will probably also go over. The council must pre- pare for the election on September 19, but the meeting should be exception ally short City Clerk H. F. Shrop- shire was busy yesterday getting out his regular committee calls for Wednesday.

There was small sized panic on Nor ris avenue yesterday morning at about 10 o clock when John Harris, colored, shot at John McPherson. who Is employed at the offices of Swift & Co. After shooting a. MT. McPherson and missing him the negro ran down Morris avenue flourish ing his pistol and daring any one to try to stop him. No one succeeded in doing so and the negro escaped.
 The police department was notified of the shooting and officers hurried to the scene. They secured a description of the egro and traced him to Fourteenth street and Seventh avenue. There he was lost and was still at large at an early hour thls morning. s.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Bijou

The Bijou theatre was successfully opened last night by Raymond Paine in the Millionaire Kid. Every seat in were turned away.
 The opening bill at the Bijou is on, of the best musical comedy dramas that has been seen at the Bijou 1T we'll drilled. They have good voices and lack but one thing-to be toned down a little by a few male voices The scenery was unusually good and was applauded vigorously by the au- dience. The big scene in the third act where a race between an automobile and passenger train is shown is very realistic. It is really we'll done.
 Raymond Paine was seen to better advantage in the Millionaire Kid than In the Candy Kid, and had more op- portunity to display hls ability, both quilted himself well as both. In dra matic moments he possesses the strength to be convincing, and when comedy is necessary Paine has a manner all his own that is irresistible.
 Raymond Paine was ably supported by his company and they have all been assigned their parts with dis crimination. The strongest female part is that of Berry Kohra. This is very well played by Miss Sue Mar shall. Miss Marshall, while not a beauty, has a very attractive person. ality. In addition to this, she is a good actor. Alice Arden, one of the lady villains, was well played by Miss Lotta Emmons. Her greatest merit lay in not overdoing the part as could so easily have been done.
 The character work was well done by Chauncey Cousland, pardon the name, who took the part of Patrick Burke, the father of the Millionaire Kid. The comedy Is done by Dan Me Avoy who. is an old favorlte.
 The story of the play Is not much. Bobby Burke the son of Patrick Burke. a Chicago alderman. goes to New York to have a time He has 1t, so does the old man. who Is forced to follow him. Arriving at New York his father is much disgusted to find that his son is known as the Mill lionaire Kid on account of his prncely spending. The son Is cast off and dis inherited by the father because of the sons love for the gypsy girl, Berry Kohra. Bobby accepts his decree and promptly goes on the street and cops a million by dab bling in cotton. The old man gets caught on the other side and by some crooked work is deprived of his for tune. He finally overcomes his enemies and lives happily ever after. In the meanwhile Bobby and Berry have gone through various little adven- lures, such as being kidnapped, res cued from a white slave trading post and various other little things like that They manage to arrive at the finish a little after the batter and re- ceive his paternal blessing.
 The most enjoyable feature of the show was the song numbers. There are a number of "whistleable" tunes that were made very attractive by the chorus of good voices. The following tunes are the catchiest: "The Lines in Your Hand Tell the Story of Your Soul" "Giggling and Whistling." Has Anybody Got a Kiss to Spare?"
 The offering at the Bijou next week will be Lillian Russtll's great play, "Wildfire."

At East Lake Park

East Lake Dance hall is the most popu- lar in town because it is the coolest and the floor has no superior. Great crowds of young people migrate to the popular resort these sultry September nights and enjoy the dance to the fullest extent. After the dance they go for a rowboat ride and the evening is complete.
 The largest crowd of amusement-hunt- ing people that has been in Birmingham this summer was out at East Lake yes- terday. The management of the park had not even hoped for the success which crowned their efforts and proved East Lake parks ability to entertain and ham, dle crowd. Every one came home last night late but happy.
