"The Mikado, at the Jefferson

At one time there were, and there may be still, some queer laws in Ja- pan. For instance, it was a penal of fence for married man to fiirt! My. my! Is it not a splendid thing for the homes of America that such is not the law in this country, for a large per centage of the homes would be man. less if the law was strictly enforced
 It is said that there are in existence some queer old blue laws in Massa- such as the fact that man lantern is subject to imprisonment Now isn't that a foolish statute? Of course it Is never enforced, but it is still law, never having been re- pealed.
 The comic opera Mikado, written by Gilbert and Sullivan, is made up of humorous situations and climaxes re- sulting from such queer Japanese laws. Of all comic operas Mikado is said to be the gem, both in music and plot.
 Twenty-four pretty Birmingham girls take the part of geisha girls. Seventy persons will take part in the performance of Mikado to be given al the Jefferson on the afternoon and evening of Thursday, February 8. The cast and chorus in clude some of the best voices in the city and rehearsals have been held weekly since last December and an artistic performance is assured.
 The cast will include Mrs. w. T, Ward as Yum Yum. Miss Clara Whips of Gadsden as Petti-Sing, Miss Mildred

To the earlier period of his theatri- cal life belongs his appearances in the old English comedies: Joseph Surface; eCool, in London Assurance;" Squire Chivy, in David Garrick; admirable performances in The Crusaders and Judah and, finally, Cayley Drummle, in the original production at St. James theatre on May ?, 1893, of 'The Second Mrs. Tanqueray."

.SHIPPING BOARD
 AIDS FISHERMEN
 IN ALASKA CASE
American Gasboats Not To Be Changed to Canadian Registry Is Order
 of Commission.

The Federal shipping board took a hand last week in the governments fight against Canada's orders in council giving preferential treatment to British Columbia interests, ac. cordlng to advices received last night on tho Admiral Farragut. In an order forbidding transfer of American gas boats to Canadian reg. istry the board declared that while the Canadian regulations apparent. ly offer tempting inducements for such transfers, they do not in real. ity give American citizens an oppor. tunity for free competition in the fisheries trade, but rather subject consumers of fish brought into the American territory through Canadian ports ito the possibility sof monopo. listic price manipulation"
 Officials believe the effect of the orders in council, if not offset, would be to bring the Alaskan fish. ing fleet operating off Ketchikan under Canadian registry and it's product into the Canadian port Of Prince Rupert. Representations made through the British embassy have failed to secure a modification, and legislation framed by the commerce department failed with the adjournment of Congress.
