Singing on a street Car

There are few things moro annoying
than the fellow or fellows who insist
on singing when riding on street
car" said a resident Of the east end.
"A few days ago I was on Tide
water car going home and happened
to take a seat behind four young men
who seemed to think 1t was amateur
night at some vaudeville house and
that they were the top-liners on the
amateur side of the performance.
"I can appreciate good singing If the
singer chooses the proper time and
place but when three or four boys get
on a street car and sing to attract at
tention to themselves, as the boys re-
ferred to seemed to be doing, 1T gives
me a tired, droopy feeling.

little excited over the announcement that
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has been engaged MS
song and dance artist by the manage
ment of the Hippodrome. 1t is rlmoree
that her salary will be $4,000 a week. The
contract was signed on her way across
the Atlantic on the Olympic. A report
spread by other artists that she had heen
engaged merely to be exhibited as n
talked of curiosity. led the management
to issue statement in which 1t was said :.
Apart from being an actress of unusual
talent and a really brilliant dancer. Mrs
Thaw has everything to make for success
on the stage. Tho fact that she has a
name familiar to the public was a con-
sideration. 1t always is in determining
the value of a public entertainer. L. is
a malicious falsehood that she has been
enga ged in order to parade her alleged
shame"

A Big Busy City

birmingham seems to be big, busy
city, said Gaillard c. Smith of New
York, inventor of the detectaphone, who
has been at the Metropolitan hotel most
of this week 1.-THE business district of
the city is teeming with life and every
enc seems to be in hurry to arrive at
his destination. The federal census of
1910 gave Birmlnghams population as 1S2,-
$50. 1t Is assuredly much more than that
now. Just to observe the people hurrying
to and fro along the streets-and there
are so many Of them-would give one the
impression that there was at least 100000
inhabitants hase, If not more.
II have visited practically all sections
of the city while here, and in my opinion
there is no city In the south with more
beautiful residential sections than Bir-
mingham. The Norwood homes are all
pretty, attractive and have a honey as
pect. And es for Highland avenue, sim
ply beautiful is the only way in which
to express its appearance.
II intend to establish southern head
quarters in Birmingham in the near fu-
ture for the purpose of placing the de-
tectaphone in the southern field. Atlanta
had been considered as place for south
ern headquarters. but l think that Bir-
ming ham is in more central position
than Atlanta, and undoubtedly Birming-
hams future is very much greater than
Atlanta's."
Mr.. Smith will leave for Atlanta this
morning over the Seaboard.

A SORROWFUL FIGURE.
The saddest man

And soothed himself

Oh, trust the eyes that win thee,
And trust the lips that smile.
And let no doubt within thee

Could it make thine more pleasant
To know thy love were true
II she prove true forever,
Can that increase thy bliss
Today?-nay, thou wilt never
Know truer joy than this.
And; II she turn deceiver, -
Why should thy strong heart grievs
Weep only II thou grieve her,
And die ere thou deceive.
