Bullet Termed

49, o. l.. E -
New York. Oct. !13.-That the
ordinary jacketed bullet used by all
the: European armies: at. war. is far less
humane than the dumdum at certain
ranges IL asserted by mar whosa
calling, experience and researches In.
to the study Of ballistics qualify him
as an authority of"the first rank!
This expert describes the terrible
Wounding power of the regular army
bullets. and adds that he does not be-
.1ieve the charges that n Or moro OF
the powers are using dumdums in the
present a His views are as follows:
1.-THE subject OF the dumdum bullet
in. connection with it 'barbarfty' az
compared to the -'hunaneness' of the
modern military, standard bullet. 10

days. - '

AFTER a careful study of the ball
tstics of our own army rifle 1t has
been determined and proved that the
nose or point Of the bullet in the frst
part of the flight is steady in the air,
but that it's butt wabbles. For a short
distance in the middle. Of the flight

In recent years by sportsmen in Afri-

saying that they all will agree that
wounds inflicted by our own army

far exceed the results obtained by
~soft-nosed or dumdum bullets from
the same arm.

THE velocity is so great and the
striking power so terrific that the Ills.
sue is damaged extremely at q consid-
erable distance surrounding the line
this naturally adds greatly to the gem
eral shock to the system.
1T is true that sometimes the army
bullet slides through in q clean, clear,
pencil-like wound. but that was mora
often the case with the older rifles
Of small caliber before the velocity OF
rifles was increasd SO tremendously
BY the demand. for a; fiat trajectory.
The higher the velocity the less likely
this is to, occur unless the object
struck offers little or no resistance
to the passage. :.

The 1s14-15 season at the Jefferson theatre. the Klaw & Erlanger house of amusement begins this week. the box office to open Monday morning for the sale of seats for the first attrac- ton. Adele the musical hit. which will be presented for matinee and even ing Wednesday.
 Manager R. s. Douglas has gathered about him assistants for the season who have been with him for sometime ana men who are capable of handling their respective ends of the work. Mon roe Meyer will be his principal assis- tant for the season, being right at his elbow in the handling of the house, especially the stage. Prof. Frank Dav- idson has had his orchestra in prac- tice for sometime and is ready for the season. which promises to be most in- te-esting.
 While it is not deemed advisable to give out the list of attractions that are en route to Birmingham 1t can be stated there are numerous productions scheduled to visit Birmingham which promise to prove most entertaining. Obstacles are not expected and confi- dence that the season will be most profitable to the public as well as the producers is expressed.

Successful Operetta Will Be the Att traction Wednesday Matinee and
 Night at New Prices

The return engagement of Herve's and Briquet's operetta, Adele when Joseph P. Bickcrton, Jr., managing director of the New Era Producing. Inc, will offer this delightful work at the Jefferson the atre Wednesday, matinee and night. will be welcomed by local theatregoers. The fame of Adele music after run of one solid year in New York has preceded it everywhere. and it is to the great credit of this organization that many music lovers are already thoroughly Ia miiar with the gems of the operetta.
 It is said that the performance of Adele is like the bubbling over of a fountain. It is from the beginning a musical treat of songs and dances with enough spice in the plot to keep the audience in merriment between the mu- sical numbers. It is with degree of pleasure that many will welcome the re- turn of that exceedingly well balanced cast which Mir. Bickerton has held intact for this engagement.
 Miss Carolyn Thomson will be seen oncc more in her delightful rendition of the role of Adele" Mr. Park will be re- welcomed in the part of the baron; Ste phen w. Stott will be seen in the part of Robert; Miss Mae Phelps will appear as Myranne; MT. Felix Haney as Par amceau and Jules Epailly and Ralph Nairn will both reappear In the parts in which they were last seen here. Others in the east are Dorothy Betts. Jean Mann, George l.. Wilson, Mabel Silver, Lena Voght w. J. Reynolds, sydney Davis, Bee Hughes Edna Orth, Will Collins and Marie Barrett

of which has never been denied. It is not a white slave drama. It is an intensely human document, as true as it is human.
 The many admirers of Al H. Wilson, the celebrated singing German dialect comedian. who will be seen at the Jeff ferson theatre, will be delighted to learn that he Is presenting his greatest success, When Old New York Was Dutch," with new embellishments and singing numbers. Probably no offer ing heretofore given by this favorite comedian has met with such flattering eulogies as this quaint story of New York's cradle days.
 The Lyric bill of next week contains three legitimate headliners, including tho greatest individual act of the sea son in Bickel and Watson, the boys who make sZiegfeld's Follies Famous. Their presentation of the German music master travesty is roaring laugh from end to end as everyone knows who has seen the team in the follies or since it started in vaudeville.

ous Manchurians and the Famous Salon Singers on Same Bill

The lyric this week promises to sur pass in it's offering either of the bills since the house opened. There are two great headliners in the first place, third feature act and four others that will prove highly diverting and enter taining. Coupled with the splendid Pathe Weekly news pictures, an Offering of the highest class will be presented. It is rated as an all star cast of acts.
 Five Chinamen hanging by their queues and performing marvellous tricks and feats of strength and daring is one of the features of the act called the Mar velous Manchurians, presented here for the first time by Bryand Cheerbert. The Manchurians perform innumerable un- usual feats, many startling acrobatic turns and much novel and entertaining juggling. It is the greatest Chinese aero batic act of the world and discounts the usual theory that the Chinese are in ferior in strength and size. A gorgeous stage setting is provided for the act
 The Salon Singers are a quartet of vocalists and the accompanist and prob ably the finest singing that the Lyric has ever heard will be found there this week. The act was the joint feature of the chautauqua with William Jennings Bryan. and is a great favorite every where The programme includes Carmen by the quartet; "A Little Love, A Little Kiss" by Miss Matzeno, sopranos: "On the Road to Mandalay,' by Mir.
