The theatergoers agree that this is

ville and It is winning.
The Elenore sisters have won a great
Impression, and will ever be welcome

acts on the bill are the sort that make
a vaudeville bill a real success.
The Bijou box office opened Friday
for the sale of Casino seats. The
transfer will bo made from the Grand

season.
The bill for the Casino show for the
week that will start on Monday seems
to be one of the regulars. Stuart
Barnes, the cleverest singing comedian
audevllle, will be the special fea
ture, Holcomb, Curtis & Co., another
great vaudeville success, will be on the
bill, and one of the novelty features
will be Chester, the statue dog.
The bill looks good, and the sale of

AGED MOTHER TO HEAR
THREE 80NS PREACH
Hpeelnl to The Georginu.
Charlotte, X. C., Aug. 17.—At the lit
tle Methodist Church at Blenheim, S?
C., on next Sunday there will he a
touching and an unusual gathering, at
the request of a gray headed and aged
mother, whose three sons nre now all
preachers, one a college president, the
second a presiding elder and the third
a preacher in North Carolina.
The mother Is Mrs. Kate KiJgo, of
Blenheim, and her desire to see all of
her sons In the pulpit together will be
fulfilled by those sons at the Sunday
services.
Dr. John C. Kllgo, president of Trin-
of her sons, while the others are both

New York, Aug. 17.—Assistant Uni
ted Staten District Attorney Carmody
had all his available men busy today
trying to locate two millionaire stock
brokers whose names nre almost as
well known in Wall street as that of
John W. Oates, In order to secure them
as witnesses against Mrs. Blna F. Ver-
rault-Hainilton and Mrs. James Pem
berton Brown, known as the "Casslo
Chadwicks of New York.”
The search for the two Wall street
millionaires followed revelations of the
alleged activities of Mrs. Hamilton and
her friend, Mrs. Brown. According to
the Information which has reached the
United State? district attorney, the two
women used their matrimonial bait
merely as a side issue. The chief vic
tims, it Js alleged, were wealthy Wall
street brokers, and to get them It is
declared that they resorted to every
thing from spiritualism to a roulette
and faro layout.
8««nc«a and Roulette.i
The handsome residence of this syn
dicate In West Klghty-second street, it
is declared, was the scene of gambling
revels, while frequently # ln another part
of the mansion spiritualistic seances
were going on, calculated to Impress
prospective victims with the necessity
of contributing munificently to the
syndicate's bogus stock companies.
Mrs. Brown has furnished the brains
and Mrs. Verrault has furnished the
beauty. Twenty years ago the former
eloped from Halifax with J. P. Brown,
a civil engineer. They were married In
Brooklyn. Brown w.us twenty years
older than his bride. Five years ago he
died. The widow went to Boston,
where she met Blna Finnegan, who af
terwards became Mrs. Verrault.
Organized a Company.
Mrs. Brovin came to New York and
secured a position as a cloak model.
L.at?r she became a stenographer for a
Wall street man. His w*lfe died, and
he asked her to marry him, but she re
fused.
In 1902 she installed herself In a
mansion at 114 West Hevcnty-thlrd
street. She advertised In the "per-
sonul” columns of a newspaper and
scores of replies came. Then she
called upon Mrs. Verrault to go Into
partnership with her. Then they be
gan using spiritualism ns a side issue.
Mrs. Brown formed a concern which
she cnlled the Kentucky Coal and Fuel
Company. At the seances which were
conducted by Mrs. Verrault and George
Mason, Mrs. Brown's brother, visitors
were advised to buy stock in the Ken
tucky company.
By means of these mystic "tips”
$.'0,000 worth of stock was sold In the
concern. A brewer who lives In Brook
lyn gave $10,000 as soon as a "spirit”
told him to contribute and later he put
In $15,000 more.

defalcation of Cashier Chisolm, of the
First National Bank of Birmingham,

the city will follow the example set by
Birmingham and will refuse to license
them at all.
