At The Majestic

 tragedy to comedy of the lightest sort
 and apparently is just the sort of varied entertainment that patrons of the movies seek.
 Every taste for entertainment can be satisfied with the programme of fered. for there is an excellent drama in "The Other Woman" which con- tains a strong and interesting story and an ideal comedy in the Pathe ami mated cartoon. From the first to the last of "The Other Woman" the in- terest is sustained in a well connect ed. logically told story which is act ed above the average of the three-reel features. "In the Ministers Keeping is a one-act drama that Is likewise in- teresting and well acted and these two make a strong drawing card. The two comedies, "The Burglar and the Mouse" and the Pathe comedy cause laughter from end to end.
 The pictures are shown in contin- uous performance from 12 noon to 10 D. m., today and tomorrow. Commenc- ing Thursday and for the remainder of the week one of the most powerful
 dramas of the movies will be offered in "The Price He Paid" a five-reel feature which was produced from the poem of Ella Wheeler Wilcox, VI hich ran in one of the popular magazines sometime ago. The story is said to be particularly powerful and the film the Pathe cartoon comedy will also be offered commencing tomorrow and s | third change for Friday and Satur- day.

The one hundred and fifty-sixth birth day of Robert Burns was celebrated in true Scottish style last night at the Eagles hall by large crowd of Gale donians, The celebration was under the auspices of the Robert Burns society of the city, the programme consisting of Scottish songs and dances. Capt. Andy Ramage gave an interesting address on the life of Burns. taking up some of his works and discussing them. The grand march was led by Albert Chambers and Mrs William McKail Rowland Lynch sang "Rantin' Robin which was much enjoyed, and was followed by several se- lections of the national songs of Scot land on the dulcimer by Pete Connell. James Brimmer read a paper on the life of Burns, giving the history of his life and his work which was very enjoyable and interesting. Following MT. Brim- mer's reading refreshments were served Dancing followed.
 A selection by Rowland Lynch on My
 Father Was a Farmer was very pleas ing. A solo by Mat Connell and several other numbers concluded the programme An all night dance followed the conclu. sion of the programme and very en' joyable time was had. Similar celebra. tions were held in Wylam and Pratt City which were attended by large crowds.

Their muscles are taut; their eyes clear and the firmness of their jaws de- note with what vim and courag- eous energy both fighters will ex- ert in their 10-round combat to- night. Experts at the B. A. C. state that both men are evenly matched.
 Father Kitfick, the patron of athletics at Bessemer, was enthu- siastic yesterday about Dixon. He would make no prediction about the outcome of the bout.
 "Dixon is in rare condition and should make an excellent showing" said Father Kitrick. His opponent will have to be one of the best and he will know that he has been in some bout before the 10 rounds are over. | hope that Dixon wfll win.'
 Father KitriclIs opinion is that of the majority of the members of the B. A. c. and friends. Tkey hope that Dixon will win as he is generally regarded as a local boy, although he resides in Besse- mer It is conceded, however, that "Yank' O'Brien, who has the rep- utation of being an excellent boxer. dS we'll as DtlnS iltie Wllu punch" may dispel that ambitions of Dixon tonight.
 O'Brien without undue trouble knocked out Eddie Hanlon of At lanta in the first round Last Thanksgiving night at Jackson )ville.
 Some assert. as the adherents of Hanlon, that it was lucky punch. It may have been. It also may have been that O'Brien was a bet ter man than Hanlon and just nat urally beat him. If that is the case Sailor" Dixon of Bessemer will have his troubles. Hanlon was a might tough customer for Dixon a few weeks ago and the Bessemer boy must show a lot of improve ment to meet OBrien on even terms.
 Withal that does not controvcrt the fact that Dixon will be the fa- vorite when he enters the ring and this is half the battle as is we'll known in sporting circles.
 A large contingent of Bessemer admirers of Dixon are coming to the B. A. c. to whoop things up for their champion and these, with the large crowd of local people who will see the OBrien-D Dixon match will pack the B. A. c. gymnasium tonight. The first bout begins at S:30 o'clock

Wilson is unknown but is vouched for by H. c. Vance, who asserts that Wilson has the goods and will be a formidable opponent to the "Rube."
 The Heinie Wilson bout will De lightweight event as the boys weigh about 132 pounds. Heinie has a peculiar style and terrific wal Top in both mits. He is also eap- able of resisting much punishment, and Wilson will sure have to step some to avoid the punches of the boy from Avondale.

SURE OF ANTHRAX CURE.
DR.. Eichhorn Certain Stackpole Died
of Heart Disease.

New York, Oct. 15-Although George F..
Stackpole. the Riverhead. Long Island.
lawyer died early today in Bellevue Hos
rital of heart failure bis brave fight
against the deadly effects of anthrax
poison in the blood has written a new
chapter in the history of medical science.
His case demonstrated that the use Of
Eichhorn serum is cure for the disease
even in its advanced stages.
Mr.. Stackpole was almost dead when
he reached Bellevue. His circulatory
system was full of deadly anthrax ba-
GILL; He was Il years old. but young In
courage. and he fought vigorously
against death.
DR.. Adolph Eichhorn. chief of the
rathological division OF the Bureau of
Animal Industry of the Department OF
Agriculture. said tonight:
Il have very grave doubts that Mr..
Stackpole died from the effects of an
thrax In all my experience where death
has resulted from the disease there have
never been any indications of improve
ment on the part Of the patient In the
case of Mr. Stackpole there was
marked improvement after treatment
with the serum. I judge the case from
the reports OF the physicians, and from
that I see that the disease itself was
combated. but that death ensued from
the subsequent heart disease. which could
not be overcome because of the advanced
age Of the patient.
