They state that sometime ago they ordered screen: placed on the windows of the jail. but were prohibited from doing SO by Dr w. H. Oates, state health officer.
 pr. Oates has complete charge of al prisons of the state and the city com misEoners nor anyone else. it is stated can do anything in regard to the prsor without his consent. Dr.. Oates is sait to have condemned the window screen. on the jail on the grounds that it would retard the circulation of air through tn, cells and therefore the jail is swarmins with flies.
 Dr. R. M. Cunningham. as a repre- sentative of the city. will probably bt asked to take the matter up with Dr Oates. The commissioners state they did not know the flies in the prison were so bad until the story appeared in Sun days Age-Herald.

Al the Majestic

The remarkable genius of Thomas A. Edison is displayed again In the talking motion pictures which are to be seen at the Majestic theatre this week, with a matinee each afternoon and perform ance at night The programme which is offered this week is entirely different in every way from the one that was seen here several months ago. although the machine and the method of projecting the pictures and causing the converse ton are the genuine Edison patent.
 Featured in the programme Is a mono logue on baseball by John J. McGraw. manager of the New York Giants. and just recently returned from the tour of the world with the Giants and the Cubs. It is an interesting talk on baseball, giv- ing some inside facts of the great game, and of the great players who shine every summer. The monologue Is accompanied b ythe action pictures which makes il douhly enjoyable. Not little comedy is injected into the conversation. which is similar in every way to McGraw | famous vaudeville monoloeue-
 Seymour. Dempsey and Seymour were another feature of the entertainment for the pictures It was almost as good as if the audience could sit in the theatre and hear this trio of entertainers on the stage in front of them. It amounts to the same entertainment. for every inflec- ton of the voice. every gesture and every tone 10 reproduced as natural as life"
 A splendid drama by Rupert Hughes. a minstrel show with all the minstrel fea- tures. and a speciality of interesting fea- lures for children constitute the remain der of the programme.
 The entertainment runs for about two hours and 10 equal in every way to . good vaudeville performances. Selng aP- ranged somewhat on the sazne plan.

 to Redwood

City Commissioner Weatherly, Frank Gafford, street commissioner. and others went out on Third avenue yesterday to inspect the work being done there on the new Tarvia pavement. The work will be completed within a day or two and Mir. Weatherly appeared much pleased with it.
 This is a new paving for Birmingham, costing about 20 cents per square yard to the property holder It is believed that it will be successful, and if it is MT, Weatherly believes all of the suburbs will consent to its being laid. The county has been using the pavement for a year or so and it appears to be satisfactory One big feature of the pavement is that 1t is absolutely noiseless and dustless.

ADJUSTMENTS
Al the Lyric

The top notch of vaudeville entertain ment Is reached at the Lyric this week. An even half dozen excellent acts are offered, and the seventh is fair. It is probably the best bill in many ways that the Lyric has enjoyed for many weeks
 No man in town could resist the tempta' ton of having appendicitis if he could be nursed back to life as joyously as Is sammy Sloan dHenry Bergman) ir Lacky's "'rhe Trained Nurses which is the feature act. The private roof parlor of a sanitarium is the scene. beautiful new nurse is the cause and sammy Is the alleged victim who marries the nurse. For daintiness. clever comedy. good songs that are new, girls that are tall stately and able to wear stunning costumes, The Nurses" Is easily the seasons best musi- cal comedy act. Especially the wedding scene, stage picture of beauty. Toney with pretty and talented Ann Norman, probably capture second honors on the bill He is an eccentric comedian with a few of new and out fthe ordinary laugh promoters, and she is as clever a partner for him was vaudeville affords. The fresh ness of the comedy, the cleverness of the pair and the very excellent dancing make the act big hit
 Raymond Teal is likewise q genuine comedian-and like Toney he mas all new jokes, fresh assortment of parodies. and way all his own He shares second place, alofg with Toney and two other of theacts. Bert Levy the artist enter tainer and Dorothy Meuther, comedienne. Miss Meuther brought two new songs with her, the Italian ''Wap" song being a very clever bit of character singing. Her familiar songs are sung with a new effect and consequently she takes her place along with Ethel Gretn Belle Blanche and others who have scored big hits here. Bert Levy has the only art act of the kind in vaudeville. On little plate of glass he rapidly sketches figures. heads. and comedy subjects, md these are projected on a large screen b va lan- tern that Mir Levy invented.
 For the novety-and the thrill-of the bill, Fred Lindsay and his company of English stockwhip experts offer one of the seasons best. With whip. the lash 25 feet long, he snuffs candle ties a mans hand and foot breaks the neck of bottle puts out cigar and gently wraps the end around a wornans neck. It is wonderful exhibition of skill. and very interesting as well as novel. Tedeska and Tedeska make good open ing number with their cycling act that presents some new and novel tricks. very quickly and cleverly performed.
