After the first inning Michael did spen- did work in the box. On the home team, Hobson's work behind the bat and "Dutchy' Powers in the box deserve special mention.

That Petition to the Governor Relative to Ger tain Members of the State En-
 balming Board.

On July 27 the Age-Herald's special from Montgomery stated that the en- balmers and undertakers of Alabama were circulating a petition to the gov ernor, which was being pretty generally signed, reciting that those members of the state board of embalming were not practical embalmers. having had no ex- perience in said business, and were not competent to perform the duties required of them by law and protesting said members remaining on said board. It appears that the correspondent was mistaken in the assertion that the peti- tioh was generally signed; for. as the letter appended below will show, the document has never been presented to the governor:

BURIED AT OAK HILL.

Yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock the remains of Mir George Gilbert were in- tered at Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral procession formed at Warner & Smiley's undertaking rooms and went to the Cen tral Presbyterian church, where few personal friends of deceased, with mem- bers of Magnolia lodge No. 121, Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, had assem- bled to pay their last respects to the dead Rev. L. s. Handley, pastor of the church, read lessons from the Scripture and paid a fitting tribute to the de- ceased.

CARD FROM DIR. LOVETT.

To the Age-Ierald
 In his report of the Montezuma univer- sity movement at Bessemer, your repor- ter inadvertently omitted to state the reason for my resignation of the presi- dency of Blount College and State Az ricultural school at Blountsville. Owing to my connection with the college enter prise at Bessemer it is due myself that an explanation be made, which is as fol- lows: On employing the faculty for the Ninth District school, located at Blounts- vile, the board of control was under the impression that the school would realize from the state fund about $2500. Some ten days ago 1 learned from the state auditor that the new schools would get only $235 each. While future legislation may correct the unfortunate situation, I could not wait for such correction and hence rendered my resignation. I am officially informed that the board declines to accept my resignation, for which am truly sorry Acting on the principle that an engineer is justifiable on leaping from his engine on the approach of peril I gave up the much desired position to save both myself and the board from threat ened embarrassment and went straight way to launch another enterprise-the Montezuma university. Respectfully,
 J. A. B. LOVETT.

RATHER SUSPICIOUS
Was the Death of the 3-Year-Old Son of H. H. Howe of JoneSville-Post Mor-
 tenn Held.

{ Friday afternoon at Jonesvile the g. Wear-old son of MT. H. H. Howe died un- der very suspicious circumstances, and Coroner Dusenberry being notified sent for the corpse and had it brought to Warner & Smiley's undertakers shop for a post mortem examination.
 MT. Howe, who is employed at the Hawkins Lumber company plant, left nome Friday morning and said the boy was in excellent health. During the day he was sent for and returning home found the little fellow a corpse. Feeling satisfied that the death was an unnatural one he informed the coroner and demand ed a thorough investigation. at the same time saying he wanted the guilty person punished, be they whom they may
 Drs. Brown, Gillespie. Gibson and Schumacher made a complete examination of the corpse, but gave their decision to the coroner. Dr. Gillespie, who had charge of the examination, informed an Age-Herald reporter that the child had consumption of the bowels, but that his death had been hastened by severe cast- gations. The body of the little fellow bore marks indicative of severe punish ment and the head had an ugly cut.
 The stepmother informed the coroner that the boy had a severe fall, causing the confusion on the head. but when shown the spot on the floor where she claimed he had fallen failed to find any thing there which would have caused the eash.
 A negro servant, Mrs. Howe and two other of Mrs. Howe's children were the only ones on the place at the time of the boys death.
 Neighbors made complaint that Mrs. Howe was in the habit of giving the chill dren severe beatings.
 It is understood that arrests will be made by order of the c0ronpr

AT O'BRlEN'S.

Beginning tomorrow night and contin- uing one week, with two matinees, Me- Kee Rankin, assisted by MT. and Mrs Sidney Drew and a strong company, will hold the boards. As will be noted by glancing at the advertisement in an other column an excellent repertoire has been mapped out and a week of good plays at reduced prices is promised. Of one of the plays the Memphis Commer cial-Appeal says:
 When Sidney Grundy wrote his three act comedy he built it on a series of cir cumstances which Dame Grundy might not stamp with her approval, but which are intensely amusing for all that; and when Sidney Drew was born into this world he brought with him the essen tialities which make up a perfect con ception of the leading role, Felix Feath- erstone. The trials and tribulatiOns which Felix undergoeS as the result of joke he tries to play on his wife are al- most beyond belief, and they are all of an extremely ludicrous nature. MT. Drew's work, especially in the second act, would win an unknown actor fame, and certainly won him, finished comedian as he is, a warm spot in the hearts of Memphis fun-lovers. Mrs. Drew as Mrs. Featherstone was charmingly natural. The rest of the cast was competent. MT. Cooper deserves especial commendation. A fair house laughed itself hoarse over the production, which was preceded by a curtain raiser, Tn Honor Bound" To- night Married Life" is the bill, and to- morrow night "The Bachelors Baby will be produced for the first time on any stage. What will lend especial interest to the production in question is the fact that Tom Tuther, prominent local am ateur, is cast for a part. The flag pre- sented the Chickasaw Guards by John Mccullough will be used in the produc-
