Bryan be- gan owing to the attempts of those who came late to get into positions near enough to hear MT. Bryan. Mr. Bryan was obliged to pause, and MT. Shively, realizing the serious aspect of affairs, began addressing the people in calm, clear tones, begging for order. His words brought the audience to it's senses and MT. Bryan went on. When the
 
 MT. Bryan began as follows
 MT Chairman, Ladies and Gentle men: About a year ago I had the priv ilege of visiting this city as guest and at the invitation of your townsman, who was then representing this district in congress. II gratifies me very much upon this, my second visit, to find him the candidate of our party for governor of the state of Indiana. I am glad to greet again the people of this city, and in the short time that may be able to speak to you I desire to discuss that question which is uppermost in the minds of all of you, the money question: before I should attempt to discuss any other issue. I am sure that I would not be able to interest you so we'll as if devote my entire time to the subject of free coinage, and how it is to affect your interest.
 MT. Bryan continued at some length discussing the money question in an in teresting manner, and was frequently interrupted by applause.

NO BATTLE ABBEY.
The Rouss Movement Takes the Form of the Confederate Memorial Institute
 for Raising Funds Provided

Chattanooga, Sept. 3.-The movement inaugurated by Charles B. Rouss to per petuate the history of the Southern Con- federacy was promoted by the action of the board of trustees, whose first session was brought to close tonight on Look out mountain. The idea of a battle ab
 bey has been abandoned as impractica- ble, and the structure to be erected will be called the Confederate Memorial In-' stitute.' Col. Robert c. Wood of New Orleans will continue to act as general manager. The Fourth National bank of Nashville will be designated as treasurer and depository of funds. General Jack son of Tennessee, Col. Robert White of West Virginia, General Briggs of Ken lucky and General Ross of Texas were constituted an executive committee. The plan for raising the necessary funds pro- vides for the appointment of agents in each county to make thorough canvass in every state in the south. Fifteen states, the District of Columbia, Oklaho- ma and Indian territory are represented on the board. The charter holds good for fifty years. It is estimated that the institute will involve an outlay of at least $5O0,OOO before it's completion. It's chief mission will be educational in character by collecting together the correct facts at issue in the history of the late war. The location of the memorial hall will not be considered until after the money has been raised. trr

COUNT TBREITENSTEIN. The St. Louis Loft -Hander Is King of All
 Twirlers.
6-5-tf

Post-Dispatch.
 There are pitchers and twirlers and batters and hitters in the National league and American Association of Baseball clubs, but it does seem as if one J. Theodore Breitenstine of the St. Louis Browns has them all beaten.
 For three years Breitenstne has been recognized as the greatest left-handed pitcher that ever played ball, also as one of the three best men, right or left, in the profession. The other two were Ruse and Nichols.
 For two years, 1S94-95, Breitenstein led all the pitchers in number of games pitched. He earned his reputation with the St. Louis Browns when they were at their worst. Other great pitchers like young Nichols, Hoffer, Rusie, etc, won their spurs with winning teams. Brett enstein surpassed them all as his were won with team that invariably has fin ished at the end of the league.
 The record made by the great pitcher on the present trip of the Browns is mar velous. Starting in Chicago, he lost game through very partial umpiring. Then he won in Pittsburg and Baltimore. He lost one in Philadelphia and won an- other That game in Quakertown was really the only one the marvellous pitcher should have lost. He won his games in New York and Brooklyn. In all he has lost but one game on the eastern trip
 
 the seven games he officiated in since he left St. Louis on August 1.
 This would be a great record Tor any pitcher even with championship team behind him on his own diamond. Taking into consideration the fact that Breiten- stein is pitching for a tail end team and away from home at that his performance is wonderful and ranks as the greatest of the season.
 Not only has Breitenstein pitched splendidly, but he about leads the team in batting as well. On September 1 he ranked fourth on the team with pen centage of 271 Since that time h has made seven hits out of nine times at the column As far as fielding goes, there Is no pitcher in the league in his class.
 Attached to Brietenstein's great per- formance on this trip is a tale The last game he pitched in St. Louis was against Cleveland. In the first inning he was hit hard for three runs For the first time in his life Brietenstein heard the crowd cry "Take him out! Hart! Hart!"
 The cry was sent up by small coterie of knockers" but 1t made the little fel- low mad all through and he almost pitch ed his arm off to W.n which he did. Aft CT the game he said to a Post-Dispatch reporter: "If this team plays any kind of ball on this trip I'll show that gang he kept his word has already been shown.
 ToCaptain Dowd and the other mem- bers of the team belongs fair share of the credit accruing from Breitensteins victories. The boys have played good ball. With just little judicious strengthening St. Louis will have team for true in 1897.

FRACTURED HER HIP.
Bad Lights and Rough Street Contributed to
 the Accident,

Mrs. W. F. Smith of the South High lands, returning from prayer meeting at the Southside Presbyterian church Wednesday night, fell in gully while crossing the street two blocks from her residence and fractured her hip. She was accompanied by her sister, Miss Lila billiard, and her little son, Sloss, who sought aid at once, but it was some time before she could be removed and phy- sician summoned. She was resting as easily as could be expected yesterday af- ternoon.
 This is rather bad showing for the condition of the streets and the usual good lights Birmingham boasts of, and it might be well for the authorities to inves- tipate
