Naughty Marietta"

Victor Herbert chose an extremely picturesque setting for his newest comic opera, Naughty Marietta. which was presented at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night. The quaint charm of old New Orleans at most interesting period was well suited to his purpose and the result, both in a pictorial and a mu
 sical way. is very pleasing. The music could hardly be called noteworthy, but there are several numbers of unusua. especially attractive The rich and colorful investiture of the opera is in keeping with it's theme, lending beauty and brilliancy to the performance.
 The company acquitted itself hand somely, Miss Florence Webber. as the madcap Marietta whose escapades set New Orleans by the ears and whose love affair has stormy inception, proved heself a comedlenne of vivacity and charm. She is also gifted with a splendid voice Juan Cardo made an acceptable stage lover and sang we'll. Miss Cara Crendelli as Adah, John Horn as Rudolfo, Edward Beck as the buc- cancer. and Warren D. Lombard as the lieutenant governor were others of the who distinguished themselves. The comedy was furnished by Sid Braham as Silas Slick and Blanche La tell as Lizette. Br. Braham has very good tenor voice and Miss Latell Is an apt portrayer of grotesque types.

SENATOR JOHNSTON
 IS IN WASHINGTON

Washington, January 3.-(SpeciaD.-Sen- ator and Mrs. Joseph F. Johnston of Ala bama arrived in Washington on beiated train today at noon. Mrs. Johnston went immediately 10 the apartments that had been taken by the senator at the Airing ton while the senator hurried to his seat on the floor of the senate. After the short session of the Senate the senator went to his office where he spent the entire afternoon getting the affairs of his office in working order.
 Senator Johnston is enthusiastic over the increasing probability of the nomina- ton and election of an Alabama man to the Presidency of the United States. Every day increases the strength that is gathering about the plans for the nom- ination of Oscar Underwood he said. His strength is not confined to Alabama and a few states of the south. He is as popular in the north, east and west as in the south and in these other sections there is not the timidity of sectional dis advantage as is found in the south.
 .'The people of this country want safe leader. They vii; not stop to ask where he lives if he has the ability and is the kind of man they want Oscar Under wood comes fully up to all the require- ments and the people will recognize this when the proper time comes.'

 When it was first put into service sew eral months ago, the Seagrave companys demonstrator. who was trying it out, ran if into ditch and it was laid up for repairs for several days. When it was finally put back into commission 1t was given to Station No. 4 for regular use.
 In a few weeks after that while going to a fire street car ran into 1t and tore 1t almost to flinders and necessitated sending 1t back to the Seagrave factory for rebuilding. This has been done and the new machine was received here about December 2J. Since that time Chief Me chanic Riley Waggoner has been busy getting 1t in working order.
 Yesterday afternoon it was taken out on trial spin and at the same time to give Captain Smith of Station No. 3 some lessons in driving it.
 They were running along near Behren's s park at a lively clip when the driver saw mudhole and attempted to shy from it. But the ground was slippery and the auto skidded and went into the ditch and up until fate hour last night had not been extricated.

Flanigan's Downfall

Flanlgans downfall came from an in- born propensity to carry bulky shoot in iron,'' instead of the razor hls race usually keep for social purposes
 F'lanigan Is just an ordinary "culled gemman'' with the more than ordinary proclivity of the sons of Ham for board ing at the city jail. He was a trusty at the said boarding house, doing four years for violating the liquor law, when at Christmas time he was pardoned for his earthly sins and was given the privi- lege of hunting another boarding house.
 Overjoyed at his good fortune Flanigan went merrlly on his way, which proved to be rather circuitous. as 1t led him di- rectly back to the jail.
 While on his homeward journey Elan igan was stopped by a policeman. who just wondered why Flanigan's coat bulged out so far. Upon Investigating a mur- derous looking pistol was found peace fully lying in Flanigan's coat pocket. Flanigan's explanation of it's presence was somewhat dubious.
 "Befoh Gawd, Capt In. An done thought An had bottle of Paul Jones in dat pocket An don know where dat lil' ole gun done come from no how. Da sho' Is somethn' wrong wifi Flanigan, cauz he cant recellock dat he evah had dat lil' ole gum
 But arguments were in vain Flanigan had been we'll known trusty at the jail and so the policeman gave him q warrant and sent him on his way back 10 the "coup." Flanigan's good angel had now completely deserted him for on his way back to jail he met the police pa trol wagon and a new man was on the patrol who was unacquainted with the much abused trusty. Immediately he placed pair of handcufs on the negro and when they arrived at the jail Elan igan was frantic.
 An dat dar ossifer done put hand cuffs on me, jes becauz I had a lil ole bottle of Paul Jones in nah pocket In spite of his pleading F'lanigan was given his old position and Is serving his, time by doing odd jobs around the jail.
