TO PLAY
FOR PRESS CLUB
ON HOBBY NIGHT
Celebrated Musician to Be
Distinguished Guest on
January 80.

''Tell tie boys I haven't PLAYED the
cello for many a day. but for the sake
Of such a nigh: think I can come
back"
This is the sist Of a telegram of ac-
ccptance from Victor Herbert, received
today by Frederic J. Haskin, who In.
wited him to be one Of the list OF dis
tinguished guests who, on January 90,
will make up the now famous annual
Hobby Night" at the National Prcss
Club.
Old-time music lovers will remember
that the now famed orchestra director
and composer originally made his debut
In the musical field as q player Of the
cello. And veterans will recall that
before he won fame in other fields, he
gained the reputation of being the
greatest living performer on this deep
toned string instrument The pronli-
nence this instrument has in his or
chestral scores is easily explainable
when 1t Is known that he considers it
ties, and his personal fondness for it.
Marks New Policy.
The landing Of Herbert marks q
new policy for hobby night''-that of
having the music furnished by some
one as eminent in the musical field as
are the speakers in political, scientific,
and diplomatic circles.
The composer of "The Fortune Tel
ler." Babes in Toylandr the Mile.
Modiste'' Of FRITZ scheff, and ..The
Stone scored an unprecedented success.
Will be on q program with members Of
Washington's Diplomatic Corps, men
high in official life here, and with sew
e,! erai men from other cities: who have
honal affairs. These names are to be
announced In . few days.
Herbert, already famous by reason of
his successes and the continent wide
ed even wider attention within the last
twelve months as the composer of his
new American grand opera, ''Natoma-" "
In this piece weird Indian melodies are
combined with distinctive American

here and abroad. Whether favorable
or adverse. no one has denied the orig
inality of his conception.
Herbert to abandon his favorite instru-
ment in late years. Now and then he
plays for his own amusement, he ex-
planned IN a letter to Mr. Haskin. but
solo parts in public. For this reason
his temperance In his original role as
a cello soloist will be of unusual In
terest, aside from the opportunity of
meeting the composer.
Tentative Acceptances.
Rumors Of big drawing cards" are
rife for hobby night Enough tenta-
tive acceptances already have been
made to insure the event an even
greater success than that of past years,
when such eminent lobbyists as DR..
Wiley, Clifford Pinchot. Joseph G. Can

row will be the seventeenth anniversary
of the loss of the steamer Chicorn, of
the Graham & Morton line, together
with the twenty-nine persons known to
have been aboard the vessel. Sailing
from this city the night of Sunday,
January 20. 1896, bound for st. Joseph.
across Lake Michigan, the craft was
never heard of again. She foundered
with all hands the following day, but In
what manner Is not definitely known.
The sunken steamer has never been To-
Gated. 1t is the supposition. however.
that she lies somewhere on the south
end of the lake. The bodies OF none Of
the victims ever were found.

SCIENCE IN NINEVEH
Prescriptions Of Time of sardanapa-
Ius, $50 3. c.-Faith Healing
Practced.

The patient work of the archaelo-
gist enabled people in 1911 to form a
very fair idea of medical science as 1t
existed in Nineveh $50 years before
the birth OF Christ.
OF the 10000 tablets taken from the
library Of Assurbanipal. the great
king of Assyria, who conquered Egypt
and Babylonia and established his sub
iects in the deserted cities Of Samaria,
hundreds deal exclusively with medi-
cine and contain numerous prescrip-
lions:
II a man has collie make him stand
nm and pour over him a decoction of
hypericum and he will recover.
Or make him crouch down on his
heels and pour cold water over his
head.
Faith healing seems to be indicated
IN a prescription which runs. IF he is
IN a weak state. make him bend down.
then raise his legs. and say: May you
get quite well' Strike him also on
the head IA times with your thumb"
Many prescriptions deal with the
cure of a disorder which was very
common at Nineveh, and which seems
10 have been due to overindulgence
IN food and drink: when a man is
bilious rub him with an onion. and let
him drink nothing but water and alb
stain from food altogether"
Among the medicines used by the
physicians at Nineveh were sesame.
olive oil. castor oil, syrup OF dates.
honey and salt. Fasting and massage
were frequently ordered-New York

Men and Religion

The Men and Religion Forward
 Movement has aroused great deal of interest in Birmingham. Not only have many of those business men and wage workers who had been indiffer- ent to religion been brought into ac- tive touch with the movement, but boys in large numbers have been en- listed in the work and have shown much enthusiasm.
 The lnen's rally at the Bijou yester- afternoon was large and eager. It was one of the greatest Sunday gath erings ever seen in this city; and the boys meeting at the First Presby- terian church was likewise large. The earnest leaders who came from the north to conduct this Men and Re- ligion movement, which includes the idea of social service, have made ex- cellent impressions on the good peo- pie of this town. They are men of extensive experience on the social side of Christianity Besides being con- secrated and zealous they have the happy gift of imparting fervor to men of all ranks and conditions. Birming- ham will be better city morally for the visit of Dr. Charles Sickle, Dr. w. E. Biederwolf, Rev. A. A.. Stock dale, A. M. Bruner and others. But in order that the movement may have lasting effect the local leaders must follow up what has already been ac- complished in the short campaign just closed. Good resolves are all very well, but persistent and well directed effort is needed.
 This Men and Religion Forward Movement should go a long way in minimizing crime in Jefferson coun- ty and in making Birmingham a model city morally. Every large city is full of pitfalls for the young, but thous- ands of boys and men cooperating in a forward movement can accomplish wonders. Let perseverance be the Watchword.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Excellent Work

"trhe appellate courts of Alabama are now in recess" said 8 prominent lawyer
 who has just returned from Montgomery. q was at the captol and inquired about the work done by the newly estabished | courts of appeals, and was astonlsned a' the amount of most excellent work tnae the three distinguished judges composing this court had accomplished. The oe- eisions of this court, as lawyers who have kept up with them know, have the true ring that carries us back to the oays of Rice, Stone, Brckell and Mcclellan.
 'I ascertained that the judges since the establishment of this court. last March have finally disposed of more than 45o cases out of the 700 and more submit ted to them. Many of the cases were transferred from the supreme court at the time of the establishment of this court, and the submissions, now being made to the court of appeals constitute easily more than half of all of the cases appealed from the various trial coufts' and as the court was created to relieve the supreme court of the burden of business that had greatly hampered that conrt ln it's work, and proper dispatch of busness' it is easy to see that the establishment of the court of appeals has been most wise, and that the legislative builders builded even better than they knew.
 ''So far the history of the courts crea- tion leaves no question in the minds or the lawyers who have observed its work, that it was a necessary piece of legisla- tion, and certainly the large number or fine opinions that are being handed out demonstrates this courts great useful ness in dispatching the appellate courts business of the state.
 "The state is to be congratulated upon the establishment of this court and the able and competent manner in which it's judges are disposing of the large amount of business"

Turner Busy Again

Oscar C. Turner president of the On- derwood Marching Club of Alabama, left yesterday for Cleveland and other points. He is going on business. Incidentally, he intends doing some effective work in the interest of the presidential campaign of Congressman Oscar w. Underwood. Be- fore leaving he said:
 My trip to Cleveland is due to busi- ness engagement I have made there, but I will not forego the opportunity Of say ing few words for Underwood. In Washington the other day I found 1t necessary only to speak, for the people there admit that he is the biggest man in the party today, and the most worthy of national compliment. In Pennsyl- vana there is little democratic strength, but the people listened to our tributes of Underwood with apparent interest. In Maryland inasmuch as Baltimore is to be the convention city of democracy this year, the people are endeavoring to main- tain an unbiased attitude But it is my prediction that some of the votes of the uninstructed delegation of that state will be cast for Underwood.
 "Ohio, naturally, will send its delega- tion instructed for Harmon. But Under wood has some strength in that state, and it may be possible to break into the forti- fcations of its favorite son."
