At the Lyric

The new bill at the Lyric offers a
varied entertainment, the programme
being interspersed with music song,
and comedy. The Asana students, the
neadliners, present a very clever mu-

proving themselves versatile must

especially pleasing.

At the Bijou

There are a number of elements in
connection with the presentation of
"The Woman He Married" that tend
to make the most apathetic spectator
rub his eyes and think.
The record breaking crowds that are
flocking to every performance of the
BiJou to see the result of five years
effort on the part of Herbert Bash
ford. the author of the play, to pre-
sent an extraordinary theme to the
American public, is sufficient evidence
to testify to the interest of the Bir-
mingham theatregoers in the unusual.
"The Woman He Married" is a well
come diversion from the tawdry melo-
dramas that have flooded the theatres
this season. The presentation of 1.-THE
Woman He Married" has nothing to
do with the sensual or melodramatic,
but it is much more interesting than
anyone. who had not witnessed the
show, could think.

argument for the state, but it was not
completed at 1 o'clock when the supreme
court recessed for the day. He will COM
plete his argument Friday morning, and
will be followed by James Weatherly fol
the city. Mr.. Bradley and Mr. White
counsel for the Birmingham Railway
Light and Power company, entered the
case at the request of the attorney
general.
Although the main question involved is
whether or not the Tidewater line may
be absorbed by the Birmingham Railway
Light and Power company, the important
question to the state government results
from the contention of the Birmingham
commission that the public service com
mission has no authority to take hand
in the case, that the benson bill creating
the commission did not legally give pow
ers which the commission attempted ia
usurp in handling the case, and that the
issue must be decided without any word
from the public service commission. The
birmingham commission asked the sll-
preme court to instruct the public serv-
ice commission to cancel the order which
granted permission for the transfer.
The public service commission in its
answer contended that it legally exercised
the powers and duties conferred bv the
legislature and maintained that the law
creating it is constitutional and valid in
every respect

SOMEWHERE In WILDWOOD
Former Journal Reporter Here
on Visit Can't Resist From
Predicting an Ideal Sea-

The writer has been in cool, clean,
delightful and always entertaining
Wildwood-by-the-Sea not more than
twenty-four hours, yet in this little time
all the joys and pleasures attained dur.
ing former visits and my six months
stay during the season of 1914 as q
member of the Journal corps, are
brought fresh to my memory and the
thought is delicious, in fact it leaves a
pleasant taste in ones mouth.
II l made an effort to write all the
nice things about Wildwood that / am
thinking Mr.. Dubois would have to
sand up to the city for an e~Yt1ssarp1J
or emcIent compositors. There Is sc
much to be done and so little time to do
1t in, as the one armed p~aperhangel
with the hives remarked, that your
humble servant must get on the stool
and tsset" to advantage.
Wildwood, queen of all resorts, with
its four big piers, five mile board walk,
fourteen theatres, more than 300 spaci-
Gus hotels and boarding houses, dance
psvilions, skating Kinks, every facility
to make an epjoyabe ~sojourn and last
but not least the finest beach in the
country is rapidly coming into its own
just reward. The past two sc isons, due
to no fault of her own, the Queen ran
a trifIe behind what was anticipated
financially. The 1916 season is about to
bloom and from all appearances [ vent
ure to state that 1916 will prove the
ideal year both from a p~leasurable and
financial vie wpoint.
Working conditions in the cities that
wildwood caters to have improved
wonderfully; unlike other years the
working class seem to feel the happy
sensation of frequent visits to the
Building and Loan Association"
Yes, there is no reason In the world
why it shouldn't be a banner year.
The patrons have the money, Wild
is the resort aud in closing, II L were a
betting man, this combination would
appear worthy, a tip that reads like a
letter from home, with money in it.

A GHOST OF A LIVING MAN.
lLondon Observer

A story that left a great impression
on f. W. H. Myers was that of a citi-
zen of London, well known to his
friend Edmund Quincy, who, after
reading an author who treats of the
power of the human will, determined
with the whole force Of his being TO
be present in spirit, and if possible
perceptible, to two sisters of his ac-
qualntanoe. They We're aged % and
II. and lived about three miles off.
Witnout mentioning his intention Of
trying such an experiment, he decid-
ed to appear to them at o'clock in
the morning, and at that hour pro-
iected his mind toward them with
great force.
Besides exercising my power oil
Volition very strongly" he said, =

Of mysterious influence Of some sort
permeating my body, and had dis
tinct impression that | was exercising

4 day or two afterwards he called
on the two sisters, but kept silent
about what he had done They. on
their part. had intended to keep
silent, too, but their resolution gave
way, and they told their friend that
at 1 o'clock on Monday morning they
had seen his phantom. The elder
girl was awake, but the younger one
was asleep. Upon seeing the appar-
ition, which was in evening dress, the
former aroused the latter who saw it
also. The gas was burning low, and
the phantasm was clearer than a ma
terial figure would have been. Both
sisters were much terrified.
The same man appeared once again
to the elder sister Mt time agreed
upon between him and Edmund Cur

sion also, but the pcrcipient was so
