At the Murray.

Great" Grand" "The finest ever
Witnessed" and the like were the re-
marks patrons of the Murray made af-
mehting on Aud Lang Syne," the
greatest vaudeville sketch ever placed
before the people Of this or any other
city. 1t is one Of heart interest;
there's a heart throb in every other
second. and a laugh to keep you from
becoming too absorbed in the troubles
Of Walter Robinson, who is driven
away from home by his stern. relent-
less old father. The part of the faith
er is taken by J. F. Bannister. and so
clever an actor has never appeared
here.
The scene Is a wonderful one, the
setting representing the interior of
an old English home with its broad
window, open fireplace and crude
walls. Through the window is seen
the parish church with it's illuminated
windows, for it is Christmas eve and
services are about to commence.
Snow Is falling and the winds whistle
about the house corners and through
the door. The father wishes the be-
trothal to take place that he may be
happy on Christmas eve, the cousin
consenting to marry the son, fearing
to disobey his uncle. while the son has
secretly married the distant cousin.
Jem Garrison, the village joker, is in
love with the cousin, but she refuses
him. He makes you both sad and
glad by his inimitable acting. When
the son and his wife leave home with
the curses of the father upon them
the church choir sings, day is turned
into night. preceded by the sole even
Ing glow, and the fireplace becomes
brighter. The father takes a candle
from the mantel and going to the win
dow sees the son and wife pass by,
driven away from home by his stub

classes of theater-goers from the most
refined to the gallery god is what NC
Fadden's Flats" is. This is the com.
edy that the New York Journal called
the "18 carat" and dhring it's New
York run attracted the most entrusias.
tic audiences seen since the days OF
Harrigan and Hart, when they were
giving their series of plays of New
York life.
The great reason for the success of
this comedy is that all the characters
are drawn from actual life and in
every city of the country prototypes
OF the people represented are to be
seen and are we'll known to their fell
lowmen. Alex and George will be east
ly recognized as personal friends of
every auditor and the wonder is how
the author could SO analyze these two
characters to protray their good and
bad qualities so truthfully.
The comedy, which is well known.
is an excellent one, full of rich but
harmless fun and freely interspersed
with all the latest hits of the day.

and is carried complete for the pro-
duction. "McFadden's Flats" will be

CLIPPED 4 CHUNK OFF OF CHINA
Mongolia Secedes and Passes Under
the influence of Russia

Pekin, Dec 29.-Mongolia, which al
most equals China proper in size, was
proclaimed independent today, stimuli
taneously with the cutting off from
China of the vast dependency of Turk
estan.
Both will pass under Russian in
fiuence. and will practically become
Russian protectorates. Russia at any
time will be able to annex them. A
grand khan will be named as monarch
of Mongolia.
The construction of the Trans
Mongolian Railway, for which Russia
has long sought permission, will now
be a matter of time, Europe thereby
coming nearer to Pekin by three or
four days.
Russian influence will flank the Jap
anese sphere in Manchuria perilously,
and Japanese alliance for the sake
of preserving japanese interests may
sooner or later be expected. Russian
officers and officials, if not the Rus
sian government proper, have infiuenc-
ed this action in Mongolia.

CONCRETE WORK COMPLETE
Good Prospect that the East Coast
Railway VIII be Able to Run Trains
Into Key West In Less Than Two
Weeks.

Key West, Dec. 29.-Bringing to a
close one Of the most herculean en-
gineering tasks ever attempted the
concrete work on the Florida East
Coast Railway extension to Key West
has been completed On Christmas
eve, according to reports received here
and fully authentic, the last shovel
full Of concrete was tossed into place
and packed home. Eight miles Of
solid concrete. resisting storm and
tide, marks the work of an army Of
men directed by efficient engineers.
With the ending of this work the
gangs are hurrying on with feverish
haste to complete the laying Of the
tracks and all work into Key West,
thus binding the island city with
Florida by strong bands of steel
Forty-six miles of roadway between
Knights Key and Key West, of which
there are six miles of steel and eight
of concrete, making fourteen miles of
permanent bridge work, and the miles
Of trackage extending on from Knights
Key to the mainland, stand as a mon
ument to crowning achievement OF
the century, the realization OF the
dream of Henry NJ. Flagler, the man
who has made the development OF the
East Coast possible.
In two weeks time it will be possi-
BILE for a train to run from Jackson
Vile to Key West. In but a short
time more, in full time for the great
oversee celebration in this city, the
track will be ready for the great trains
of steel which will bind one end of
the state to the other by the magic
power OF steam
AS the men neared the end of the
concrete work last week they worked
on with everincreasing haste. Their
work was we'll done and before dark
ness had fallen last Saturday the last
concrete work was in place.
There are five miles of temporary
trestle which will in time be changed
to solid concrete, but this will not be
done at present. This work can be
done with more leisure and later.
Every bit Of the concrete has been
laid with the special idea in view of
making it capable of resisting the
| heaviest seas that may dash in from
| the sea, the swirling tides that some
| times come when the tropical storms
pile high the waters Of the Gulf in the
| Bay of Florida and the devastating
| force Of the hurricane.
| News Of the completion Of this great
work was received in the island city
| with pleasure as it means the nearins
| of the time when several trains a day
will connect Key West with the othel
cities of the United States.

1t is estimated that Macon has
