British Home and Hospital At Streas

Her Majesty's Efforts.

Queen Alexandra Of England has
net charity in the British Home and
Hospital for Incurables at Streatham'
Founded in 1861. the institution soon
became totally inadequate to care for
the enormous number of cases which
came under its province.
In 1863. however, according to the
Bystander. Queen Alexandra, then
princes of Wales, became a liberal
supporter. Through her donations
and the influence of her patronage
funds poured into the hospital until
1t gained a sound financial basis. For
many years 1t was situated in Clap
ham road, but in 1894 the buildings be-
came SO crowded that new quarters
were sought at Streatham. The pres

Disdain for Dignity.

A Scot whose name was Macintosh,
and who was proud of the fact that
he was directly descended from the
chief OF the clan. was having a dispute
over the fare he owed to a taxi driver
who had transported him to his home
in the East End.
The man with the meter talked loud
and harshly, and it angered the High
lander.

THE CONFERENCE IS

Mexico City, April 11.-Conferences held here today with a view of adjust ing the threatened walkout of Amer ican conductors and engineers on the National Railways were apparently without result E. P. Curtis, second vice president of the Order of Rail- way Conductors, and r. Corrigan, as- sistant grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, discussed the situation with Chairman Eccles and other officers of the local organization but declined to give out a statement.
 The threatened split follows the re- surrection of an old rule that all train orders shall be written in Spanish. Many American employees are not familiar with that language and declare, in asmuch as the rule has long been dis regarded, there is not now any neces- sity for enforcing it. They charge that 1t amounts to discrimination.

BLACKFRIARS TO BE
 HERE ON APRIL "A
Dramatic Club of University Will Present Bernard Shaw's Play
 Candida

The Blackfriars, the dramatic club of the University of Alabama, will pre- sent Bernard Shaw's Candida" at the Jefferson theatre on the night of April 24. In this announcement is contained the herald of genuine treat to the playgoers of Birmingham The Black friars, under the able direction of Dr. F. D. Losey, are said to have perfected performance that would be creditable to any professional company on the stage. The play was produced toward the close of February in Tuscaloosa and there met with an enthusiastic reception, the press of the city Joining in decidedly favor able comment on play and players The college students gave realistic inter pretation to every role in the piece, and to those familiar with the genius of Der uard Shaw the spirit and meaning of the drama were made vital and intensely interesting.
 Success in their first presentation was in fact so marked that the club promptly decided to send the play upon tour through the state Among the engage ments secured are those in Birmingham, Montgomery, Eutaw, Mobile, and other towns in southern Alabama At Mo- bile already the greater part of the house engaged has been disposed of and it is likely that the demand will far exceed the number of seats available. From all indications the Birmingham engage ment promises to be a most successful one. There are scores of university alum nj in the city who appreciate the value of the dramatic clubs undertaking, and these with numerous others who enjoy a good play we'll presented assure a grat- flying attendance
