VISITORS—A GALA WEEK. Birmingham,. Ala., December 27.— [Special.]—Society in the Magic City dur- iag the past week has been busy with en tertainments, marriages and receptions. In musical circles the event of the week was the “ Oratorio ” given by the First Baptist church Monday night. It was un der the able direction of Mr. E. E. Wil liams, the well known local manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company, who is one of the most skilled musicians in the city. The Oratorio was a rendition of the seven last sayings of Christ. Misses Fannie Kobinson. Lila Lovelace and Mrs. Seabrook deserve special mention for their parts. The grand german of the Ridotto Club, at the Caldwell hotel Thursday night, was a successful affair, largely attended and highly enjoyed. The university at Tuska- loosa and Howard College were both well represented. The marriage Tuesday night, of Robert P. McDavid and Miss Virginia Irene Smith, which took place at the First Methodist church, was one of the most brilliant matrimonial events of the season. Mr. McDavid is a well known ex-newspaper man and insurance agent, and the bride is the daughter of Dr. Joseph R. Smith, one of Birmingham’s oldest and most wealthy citizens. The church was gor geously decorated. The attendants were: John McQ'iin and Miss D. McDaniels, Hauip Smith an i Miss Luttrell of Knox ville, William Smith and Miss Mamie Morrow, Ed C. Campbell and Miss Mattie Webb, George Ward and Miss Lula Jor dan, John Porter and Miss Lula .Johnston, John Turner and Miss Pauline Caldwell. The ushers were: A. A. Towers, R. W. Newman, J. G. Wilkins, Webb Crawford, Morris Liveman, Allan Glint and Al. Nel son. After the marriage a reception was tendered at the residence of C. J. Smith, brother of the bride, on the South High lands. Another brilliant wedding was the mar riage on Wednesday afternoon at St. Paul’s Catholic Church of Prof. J. B. Cunning ham to Miss Louise V. Duncan. Rev. Dr. Beard performed the ceremony in the beautifully decorated church. The ushers were John C. Carmichael, F. M. Roof, Frank S. Foster and J. Albert Dillard. The groom is principal of the Paul Ilayne public school, and the bride is a well known and popular young lady. On Christmas day, the Phoenix Club gave a german at their large and elegant hall. It was attended by the elite of the Hebrew population. The german was led by Mr. Charles B. Marx and Miss Bettie Dreyfus. A grand feast closed the affair. The children of St.. Patti’s Sunday school under the direction of M ss Kate Caholan, assisted by Mrs. J L. Welch, Misses Mag gie and Annie O'Brien, M. Caho'an, and Katie and Mary Bibbitt, gave a delightful entertainment Christmas eve at Enswell’s Hail. The Irondale Sunday schools held a grand reunion Christmas and listened to a splendid program of recitations, readings, etc. On Christmas eve at St. Paul’s Catholic church Mr. F. W. Johnson was happily married to Maggie Cusick. Mr. Johnson is a well known railroad man. On Christmas day 1 at the Cumberland Presbyterian church, Mr. W. D. Moody was married to Miss Mattie Merrill. Mr. Moody is a popular shoe merchant and the bride is a grand daughter of ex-Senator Terrill of Georgia. At the Cumberland Presbyterian chnrch, yesterday afternoon, Mr. G. H. Fraleigli was married to Miss Tennessee Bolin. The social event next week will be the grand charity ball at the Caldwell Hotel, Monday night, for the benefit of the Char ity Hospital. It will be attended by the elite of the city, from among both Jew and gentiles. All preparations for it have been completed. PERSONAL. Miss Lucille Smith is home from school in Louisville, Ky. . Misses Manda and Nellie Erswell are at home from school at Staunton, Va. Ex-Attorney-General Joseph II. Eagle, of South Carolina, will shortly remove from Sumter in that State to the Magic City. Miss Sophina Ward, of Montgomery, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ed C. Crenshaw. J udge B. M. Allen spends the holidays at Gallion, Ala., with friends. Miss Sallie Bryan, Miss Maggie Bryan, Miss Kate Thornton and Miss Ida Morris, of Lexington, Ky., are the guests of Mrs. Rankin Roberts at the Thompson House. Mrs. W. B. Lopez, of Davenport, Iowa, is visiting her son, W. S. Lopez, on Twen ty-fifth street. Mr. C. A. Davies, assistant superintend ent, of the Louisville and Nashville rail road, has returned from Louisville and is out again after a severe illness of twelve weeks. Mr. Wyley Martin, a well known Louis ville and Nashville conductor, is back from Magnolia, Miss., with his bride. Miss Effie Graham, of Montgomery, is visiting in this city. Mr. G. B. Burkhalter, the newly elected street commissioner, is just back from a visit to relatives in Tatnall county, Ga. CHRISTMAS IN GRIFFIN. A SPLENDID RECORD—A FEARFUL LICK. Griffin, Ga., December 27.—[Special.] The holidays passed in Griffin without ac cident or any incident worthy of note. The streets were, perhaps, more densely crowded on Christmas day than they had ever been before, yet Chief of Police Shack elford says only one arrest was made, and this one only through fear that the party arrested would wander off, get down and freeze, or get ruu over by a passing train. Religious services were held at the Meth odist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Episcopal churches. A good attendance was report ed at each church. Griffin is proud of this record, and it is doubtful if another city its size can boast such good behavior with such a large crowd. At night the young people held a ger man at the court house, which was largely attended and greatly enjoyed by those present. Quite a number of visitors were present from a distance, who added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. Several very pleasant firework parties, masquerades, etc., occurred on Friday night. Mr. J. M. Mills entertained a large circle of friends and treated them to au extensive pyrotechnic display. The Misses Dismuke gave a similar entertain ment at their home on Tinsley street. At the residence of Judge John I. Hall the young people enjoyed a masquerade. Some miserable thief who had a great desire for firearms and overcoats entered the residence of J. P. Sawtell, editor of the Morning Call, last night about 7 o’clock, and stole three guns and the editor’s overcoat. The rascal who would rob an editor in this style is too mean to inhabit even the land presided over by his satanic majesty. Today at 1 o’clock Henry Rivers, a negro bar-tender at Mabery Scott’s bar, knocked an eye out of another negro. The negro, Rivers says, came in and called for drinks for himself and friend. After the drinks were served a nickel was tendered in pay ment. Rivers told him the amount was insufficient and demanded the balance at which the negro became abusive and started at Rivers with his knife. Before the knife could be opened, Rivers had pasted the intruder in the eye with his fist, bursiiug the member from its socket. Rivers was arrested, but gave immediate bond, without being locked up. THE WORLD’S FAIR. WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION. ULTIMATUM OF THE LOCAL DIRECTORY. THE AIR SHIP WONDER—SHALL THE FAIR BE KEPT OPEN SUNDAY? PLANS FOR THE ART PALACE COMPLETED. FROM THE GREAT METROPOLIS. SEALE. THE SPELLING BEE AND THE WINNER. OTHER NOTES. Seale, December 27.—[Special.]—The spelling bee came off last night, but owing to the change in the weather the attend ance was not quite what had been ex pected. Only a few persons from the coun try were present, which fact was regretted, as our Longview and Viliuia friends were expected to take-’part in the spelling. Chicago, December 26.—[Special.]— At this writing the officials of the World’s Fair are awaiting the Presidents pleasure regarding the proclamation which will iD- vite all the nations of the world to par ticipate in the grandest exhibit ever con ceived by man. The proclamation will be the signal to start, and when the start is made a successful finish may be depended upon. There are in this city, as in all other cities, wise men who are fittingly called cranks or croakers. They are sure that the World’s fair project will not be a suc cess, because it is too stupendous for them to comprehend. Little attention, however, is paid to them in this bustling, seething, surging city with its 1,200,000 inhabitants made up from all the nations of the world. The outcome of the quarrel between the local directory and a great railroad cor poration promises |o come to a peaceful climax. During the past Week the directory tendered its ultimatum to the railroad corporation, which in substance was that they must remove their railroad tracks from the lake front or sink them and their cars out of sight for at least four miles along the shore. As yet the railroad company has made no-reply. The object of the di rectory is to have the entire Jake front clear when it is proposed to build several permanent buildings, prominent amoDg whicli is the grand art palace, to cost $1,200,000, plans for which are now finished. Aside from the anxiety attending the President’s proclamation, everybody in Chicago is individually and collectively in terested in the proposed air ship which is now being constructed at Mt. Carmel. Nothing is too chimerical but what it will attract "the attention of the average Chi- cagoian. It is promised that within three weeks the Airship will be finished. The readers of the Enquirer-Sun have only to imagine a large cigar-shaped balloon, with basket attached, capable of carrying 250 people, Spacing at an altitude of 300 feet, and traveling at a rate of speed equal to 100 miles an hour, to obtain an ade quate idea of the great aerial discovery. Messrs. Pennington and Butler do not claim to be the inventors, but rather dis coverers, and after eight years of experi menting, they have satisfied themselves and others of the practicability of their air conveyance. In fact, a corporate company with $20,000,000 capital, all paid in, has been formed to manufacture the ships, and not one share of the stock is purchaseable at any price. Everybody is awaiting the outcome of the trial trip of the monarch of About twenty five were selected to spell, | the air. To fly or not to fly seems to be and all did well. The contest was spirited, and at last af;er the “blue-back” spelling book” had almost been spelt, through the prize was awarded Miss Ida Henry, she be ing the last to stand up. The prize was a handsome copy of “The Lady of the Lake.” About $8 was taken in at the door and will be turned over to the cemetery committee. Mr. John E. Henry “gave out” the words and presented the prizes. The win ner of the booby prize confessed to being greatly consoled by the pretiy red horn he now blows so musically. The weather is quite cold and clear to day, and seems more like winter than at any time before this season. Quite a number of persons are spendin_ Xmas here. Prof. J. E. Henry, of Clay ton High School, Miss Coriune Evans, of Clayton Female Academy, Mr. P. A. Strong, Miss Fanny Lou Williams, and others are here. Misses Tarver are visit ing Mrs. J. V. Smith. „ WOODBURY GOSSIP. Woodbury, December 27.—[Special.]— Quite an excitement was created here yes terday morning bv an unknown negro,was was under the influence of whisky, waving his pistol and shooting it promiscuously. After some, trouble he was arrested and placed in the lock-up. lie was tried be fore council and remanded to jail to await the action of the grand jury. Thursday night a negro by the name of Perry Brinson, who was well known here as a quiet and peaceful negro, was stabbed by some unknown party, which resuited in his death. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above. The young people had an entertainment at the Hotel de Findly Thursday night, and all spent a delightful time, and after reveling until a late hour, departed for their homes, wishing for an early repeti tion in the future. It is rumored that we will have a news paper next year. This will add much to our town, and will be a fine paying invest ment for the progressive man, whoever he may be. It is stated that tlic Macon and Birming ham will soon put on a schedule to con nect with the. Georgia Midland and Gulf. The Christmas tree Wednesday night presented a baautiful appearance, and was leaded with hundreds of beautiful pres ents. ABOUT THE CAPITOL. Washington, December 27.—Eighteen Senators, with the Vice-President, assem bled at noon today in the Senate chamber. The chaplain prayed and'then, on motion of Hoar, the Senate adjourned. The pro gram previously arranged had been carried out, and the Senate, which had refused to take the usual holiday recess, organized without transacting any business. There was not a committee meet ing on the Senate side today, and as but one Republican member of the finance committee (Hiscock) was at the capitol, there was not even the con versational reference among Senators to the financial bill, which was but a few days ago the all absorbing topic of interest. It is an undeniable fact that the conser vative element among Republican Sena tors—those who believed that there should be no legislation at all on financial mat ters, have gained some ground by tbe in tervention of the holiday season. "They relied largely upon a heavy Christmas trade, with a correspond ingly quickened circulation of money, to allay the agitation amongthe business men of the country. They also calculated that the delay gained by a recess would increase individual discontent with the caucus financial bill, and here again they seem to have been successful, but the extent of the disaffection cannot yet be foretold, and if the pending business in the Senate is disposed of within a reasona bly short space of time, it is probable tliat the financial Dill will be brought up by the votes of Senators who feel that, while it is not acceptable to them in every particular, still it is the best com promise measure attainable. a deserted house. » With the exception of a coterie of news paper men chatting with Representative Crisp, of Georgia, the hall of the House was well nigh deserted. Beside Crisp, Hayes and Wade were the only members present, and they were engaged in their correspondence. There was a dearth of gossip, and the news gatherers found their search a bootless one. the question. If, by a happy combination of aluminum, hydrogen gas, eiecricity and automatic appliances, it is to be possible, by increasing the rate of speed, upon the same day to dine in Chicago and go to the matinee in New York then, indeed, may the people of this day and generation con gratulate themselves that they are liv ing’ to comprehend it. A model of the airship, made of wood, is now' on exhibition at tbe Exposition building in this city, and is attracting much attention. What promises to materially interfere wdth the plans of a good many people, and the income of the great exhibition, is whether or not it shall be kept open Sun day. A league of men who seem to be self- elected censors of morality, incorporated a company the past week, with the object in view to use their influence to close the show on Sunday. As this city is in favor of a liberal democratic government, which allows the theaters, billiard and drinking salooms to remain open upon the Sabbath, the majority vote, if based upon public opinion, would doubtless be in favor of keeping “the bars down” Sunday as well as any other day. People are flocking to the city in thousands. All are coming to get rich in 1803 A large per cent will be back breaking stone upon the old farm before the fair gets fairly started. Fourteen thousand people arrived from Kansas City one day last week. Mammoth hotels are being erected in all directions, and all the old ones are being renovated. Elevated roads, railroads, cable roads, and probably the air ships, will solve the prob lem how to get the quarter of a million visitors to and from the fair grounds every day. As early as April it is expected the first spade of dirt will be turned and the army of artisans and laborers be set to w’ork. INTESTING SOUTHEBN NOTES—PERSONAL AND GENERAL. New Tobk, December 26.—[Special.]— Last Thursday will be long remembered and talked of among the Southern colony in New York. It was the occasion of the first Ladies’ Reception given by the mem bers of the Southern Society at their Club House on West Twenty-fifth street. The rooms were beautifully adorned with plants and flowers—Southern palms and magno lias being conspicuous among the decora tions. Costly paintings, from the collec tions of some of our Southern art lovers, hung on the walls, and statues from the chisel of Couper and Valentine stood in alcoves and corridors. But flowers, paint ings and statuary were forgotten in look ing at the throngs of lovely women who trooped into the rooms from 3 o’clock un til after dark. At one time it seemed im possible for any more people to get into the building, and when not one quarter of the cards of invitation had been presented. Room was, however, found for all, but it has been decided on the occasion of the next Ladies’ Reception to secure either the Madison Square Gar den or the Metropolitan Opera House. The membership of the Southern Society numbers about one thousand, and each member had the privilege of inviting six ladies. Fully fifteen hundred were re sponded to, and during the day showers of letters and telegrams came from New Or leans, Mobile, Savannah, Charleston, Jackson and over the South, indeed, in response to cards of invitation sent to mothers, sisters and friends in the South. There was an auxiliary reception com mittee composed of twelve prominent Southern ladies like Mrs. Hugh R. Gar den, Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, Mrs. Anna Bettner and Mrs. John C. Calhoun. A list of a few of those present taken at random includes Mrs. Win. K. Vander bilt, Mrs. Semmes Ives, Mrs. Hicks-Lord, Mrs. Burton N. Harrison, Mrs. Moncure D. Conway, Archbishop Corrigan. Gen eral and Mrs. Fitz John Porter,General and Mrs. Wagner Swayne, the Countess Ester- hazy, the Countess de Caumont, Mr. and Mrs. Ballard Smith, Professor and Mrs. Charles A. Doremus, Mr. and Mrs. Frcd- T. Coudert, the Misses Bisland, Miss Fielding Roselle and Miss Martin of Mis sissippi, Miss Keith of South Carolina and Miss Goidthwaite of Alabama. The the atrical profession was represented by two beautiful Southern girls, each of whom is an ornament to the New York stage—Miss Kitty Cheatham, of Daly’s Theatre, who is a Memphis giri, and Miss Odette Tyler, of the Twenty-third Street Theatre, a daughter of Generai W. W. Kirkland of North Caroiina. Congratulatory letters were received from Joseph Jefferson, Wm. J. Florence and other distinguished actors, who have been entertained at various times at the home of the Southern Society. The first Ladies’ Reception was a pro nounced success. Its annual recurrence is now assured. AMUSEMENTS. Springer Opera House MONDAY, DEC. 29,1890. DENMAN THOMPSON’S Celebrated Play, THE OLD HOMESTEAD!

SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT OP AMERICA’S EOKKMOST FUN MAKERS, SUPPLYING THE PLACES OF STRIKERS. Glasgow, December 27.—The North British Railroad Company is making strong efforts to secure tbe services of as many new hands as possible, in order to keep up tbe fight against the suiters. 80 far, the company has met with some suc cess and the result is that they have suc ceeded in bringing about a slight improve ment in the traffic which they keep mov ing alo’.'g the lines. As the result of an unofficial conference between the railroad officials and the representatives oi the strikers, the latter have agreed to send a deputation to confer with the board of directors of the North British company, on condition, however, that the secretary of the local labor organization to which the strikers belong is permitted to be present at the meeting.

Aberdeen, Scotland, December 27.— The railroad men on a strike in this city and neighborhood have resumed work, the differences be tweet themselves and their employers having ’ y settled. _e bill y set \ Sometime during the winter w’e are told that we may expect to see a novel free ex hibition at the Grand Central Railway Station. This is to bs a railroad train with cars filled with the natural products of the Southern States—the cotton and rice plants; their grains, their many kinds of fruits and their fig trees. It will also show specimens of metals and coais, and in fact most things that are found under the earth or that grow in the soil. This train will make a grand tour through the cities and towns of the North, beginning with New York, thence to the Middle States and the West. It will be known as the Southern Locomotive Fair, and will be managed by the Southern Immigration Company of North Carolina. * * * The Mississippi Conference will be pre sided over this year by Bishop John P. Newman, of the Methodist Episcopal church. He will leave New York next week for Mobile and thence go to Moss Point, a watering place near Mobile where the conference will sit. Bishop Newman is an ardent lover of the South and recalls with delight his pastorate in the city of New Orleans. There he was the pioneer of his church, and this year the Metho dists of New Orleans celebrate their silver jubilee. It will open on January 14th. Bishop Newman, although in his 70th year, is strong and active and in the en joyment of complete health. * * * Sardou’s play of “Cleopatra,” as seen Tuesday night for the first time in New r York is the climax of tableauismto which modern playwrights have gradually been leading u , Sardou, having a contempt for his fellow writers, would be the first to de ny that he is the leader of a school, but such he is, considered as having pushed the new convention to the extreme. lie denies the necessity of teaching a lesson which is the theatrical ideal, and he pro duces only tableaux—nothing but tableaux. It is true in “Cleopatra” he makes these scenes with all the talent that a man com mands—yet they are scenes merely, and nothing will remain of them. There was little to excite enthusiasm in Tuesday night’s performance except when in the text one caught the echo of the great Elizabethan or saw on the stage a picture which he had described in immortal verse. The genera! impression seemed to be that there was considerable Shakespere mixed np with Sardou in this new r “Cleopatra.” and that the clever Frenchman was the tinsel of the combination. The drama is formulated in six tableaux which Jshow us what the scene painters (who have never been there) imagine Egypt and the Nile to be. Cleopatra appears in every tableau, and the story of her love for Antony the , dramatist insists upon as being real, if stormy. Her character, indeed, is much less complicated than the sorceress of the Nile as Shakespeare paints her. As to | Miss Davenport’s conception of the role, it is wholly modern. She moves and talks with the bustle and incoherency that have been noted in most of her performances, and it, is hardly likely that Cleopatra will long remain associated with her name. Nevertheless, she makes a briiiant picture and seems a fitting part of the gorgeous background, the whole entertainment af fording a triumph for the stage carpenter and property man.
