 The Mascotte, of about 1000 tons displacement, formerly belonged to the Peninsula and Occidental Steam ship company, but recently was sold to, the Boston and Gloucester Steam ship company. P. J. Saunders, vice president and general manager of the Peninsula and Occidental com pany, said tonight that the Mascotte was on its way to Boston, where 1t was to be reconditioned and put into service between Boston and Glouces- ter.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE JEFFERsON

Extraordinary features are prom ised in The Fool" the new Cham ming Pollock drama, playing at the Jefferson all this week with matinee Saturday. The play is radically diff ferent from anything ever written by the celebrated playwright and proved to be the sensation in New York and Boston last season, run ming a full year in New York and six months in Boston. The spiritual note Is sounded in its powerfully and there is a remarkable mob scene, which ends impressively when a crippled girl, through faith or whst you will, drops her crutches and be- wilders a frenzied and menacing crowd by walking bravely to the side of the prostrate hero who has been struck down. The chief character Is a young minister who sacrifices sta- ton, friends and even love itself so that he may serve his fellowman whole-heartedly. He is called a fool and failure, but the peace and hap piness he finds In doing good, where good is most needed, give him in the end victory without a sting. The play is staged impressively.

!" Ashes of Vengeance" Proues
 One Of Seasons Great Plays

Norma Talmadge in "Ashes of Ven geance" is proving one of the most popular attractions of the season. The large night crowds cannot be ac- commodated and the management of the Trianon urges the people to att tend the matinee. This big produc- ton is direct from it's Broadway run, where admission was $2.
 Thousands of Birmingham people who have seen the picture agree with the New York World that says: Ashes of Vengeance" is the best in everything the films so far have to offer. Essentially and pre- eminently it is a beautiful love story of a love which overcomes pride and a desire for vengeance, and its telling lies in the capable hands of Norma Tal- madge and Conway Tearle.

TAKE INTEREST IN
 RAILROAD REPORT
Substantial GainSs Shown In Net Revenue Of Ma
 tion'S Carriers,
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial

CLeRsed Wire to The ABe-Heraid)
 NEW YORK, Oc. 24.-A somewhat steadier tone pervaded the stock market today but there was no in crease in the volume of trading nor was there any indication that con fidence in values had been restored to that extent which would attract the outside public.
 The only development of Ainterest was the publication of the first or the earnings reports covering the month of September by the railroads which, while showing no increase Tn the gross revenue, showed substan- tial gains in the met.
 Probably the best analysis of the present stock market uncertainty would reveal number of mildly un- settling influences, no one of which could be considered of major inpor- tsnce, but which in the aggregate keep market operators guessing. There Is, for example, the agitation on behalf of the farmer, but the farmers themselves are beginning to resent this now, because it places them In false position and is injur- ing their credit.
 The trouble really rests with the wheat farmers and not with all of them. It does not help the particular farmers who are in distress to know that he and his fellow sufferers to not form so large a-percentage of all agriculture as the country has been given to understand.
 The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the bank deposits in the agricultural states snd particularly in the wheat states show substantial increases over last year. There Is no complaint from manufacturers of impaired buying power in the agri- cultural states except in few locSli- ties. All of this points to period Of industrial activity in the months to come which will keep the purchasing power of the community at large up to a maximum and which will favor ably react upon the farmers by in- creasing the domestic demand for their products.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
Mayard - The usual American
spelling OF this name seems to be
Hazard while in England Hassard
is the more usual form. Hassart
seems to be the earliest form and IT
was undoubtedly derived from a
Norman personal name. The sur
name Hassard was borne by the ex-
tinct dukes of Charante and soon
after the Norman conquest branch
of the family settled in county
Gloucester and afterwards removed
to Dorsetshire. The Irish Hassards'
OF whom there are many, went into
ireland from England in the reign
of Charles IL.
The American family Of the name
that has gained the greatest dis
tinction was founded by Thomas
who went from England to Aquid-
mack and was one of those appointed
TO lay out the town OF Newport,
Rhode Island. He became a Free
man In 1886 and the family has al
ways been closely associated with
the history OF Newport.
