Exciting Finish Between Donoghue
and Harley Davidson.
CORBEIT SIGNS FOR ANOTHER FIGHT
American Athletes Give up Their
Grecian Trip.
IN THE LOCAL Gu B S

Joe Donoghue won the third race for the
indoor championship of the United States
and Canada last night at the Convention
Hall ice rink, defeating Harley Davidson
by a foot. The distance was two miles,
and there were three entries-Howard
Moshier, Harley Davidson and Joe Dono-
ghue. AS soon as the pistol was fired
Davidson jumped to the front and kept
there until passed by Moshier about the
sixth lap. The latter then dropped out of
the race on account of his skate bending
uIder his shoe. Davidson and Donoghue
alternated in the lead until the next to the
last turn was reached, with Davidson in
front. Then Donoghue, by an immense
burst of speed, caught up and passed him.
AS the pistol was fired for the finish there
was not more than foot between the two
racers, and majority of the spectators
thought it was a dead heat. The time was
6O1l2.' DoEoshues best time for two miles
IS 6.G3 10.
The race yesterday afternoon was be-
tween Wise, amateur champion of New
Suites, the champion of the District and
Maryland; Bailey and 1lgenfritz, for a mile.

EXPLAINING SINGLE TAX.
Bolton Hall of New York Discuss
L0m6 V0luea

Bolton Hall of New York Discusses
Land Values.
Mr.. Bolton Hall, son Of the Rev. John
Hall of New York, who has long been a
leading advocate Of the single tax doctrine.
explained to a large gathering at Typo
graphical Temple last evening the funda-
mental principles of the doctrine. The sin
gle tax meant, he said, the removal of all
taxes but oner that on land values. 1t
meant taking taxes off all the things pro-
duced by labor, and as land values are pro-
duced entirely by the presence, virtue and
enterprise Of the community, growing with
the growth of the population, 1t would be
the taking by the people of fund created
by the community, and in no sense a tax
on industry.
He said that single tax meant that the
Creator of the universe created this earth
for all His children.
He gave graphic account of the work of
campaign in Delaware, where it is hoped a
legislature will be chosen that will relieve
improvements from taxation, which will be
placed on land values. His appeal for
funds, etc, and the campaign, met with
hearty response.
Representative Mcguire, Messrs McCrea-
ry. Newburg and Furbrik and others made
brief remarks. Resolutions, offered BY MT.
Groh, were adopted, extending sympathy
to the Cuban insurgents, and expressing
the hope that in repudiating the divine
rights Of kings, Cubans would also repudi-
ate the "dfvine right to parcel out and sell
ture native born Cubans in their own native
SOIL and would Herewith raise all govern
ment revenues by taxing nothing but land
values"

From Truth.

The milkman tugged at his favorite pump
In vain. and mad enough he was For
years he had left home every morning be-
fore daybreak with his cans half filled with
milk. These he stocked up with water
from the old pump. and then proceeded to
serve his customers. For the first time in
his career as a purveyor of pure milk from
his own dairy the COW with a wooden tail
had failed him. Somebody had broken tho

Stopped the sparrine.

A crowd of six thousand at Madison Square
Garden. New York. last night, saw Jack Nc
Auliffe, the lightweight champion, and
George kid Lavigne of Saginaw, Mich,
spar. but the police stopped the contest in
the sixth round, when Lavigne seemed to
have something the better of the contest.
The announcer Informed the spectators that
Inspector Brooks would not allow a referee
to enter the ring, and they therefore would
judge for themselves as to which of the
contestants was the better man.
Inspector Brooks and Capt. Pickett had
100 policemen in the place, and they warned
the management that the first hard blow
would be sign for the bout to be stopped
and for the arrest of the principals and all
others concerned in the exhibition.

Better End of the Bargain.

From the New York Herald.
A man thinks he is the lord of creation,
and ought to be obeyed by every member of
his family, because he furnishes the money
with which to buy potatoes and beefsteak.
The claim to supren acy rests, 1 think. on a
very slender foundation. I have notion
that in most households the woman has
harder work than the man, and works long,
er hours. Money, of course, is necessary,
but cooking and house cleaning and keep
ing the children and 1.-The governor him.
self in proper shape is task which no man
would care to undertake. I suppose that if
bands work she would make a botch of 1t,
and I am sure that If man were to at
tempt to co his wife's work ne would rush
to the nearest drug store at the end of a
week and swallow a strong dose Of rat poi
son. Things are arranged pretty well, on
the whole, and the man has the better end
Of the bargain.

B|RM|NGHAM'S RACE MEET
 ] Fine String of Horses Already Arrived.
SOME OF THE VERY FASTEST
Opinion That the Coming Season Will Be Un- usually Brilliant in Popular Interest
 andBig Events.

A representative of the State Herald met MT. H. H. Dargin, secretary of the Alabama State Fair and Racing associa- ton. yesterday, and in answer to in- quiries as to the coming races MT. Dar- gin said:
 "Mr w. l. Spefr arrived this morning from New Orleans bringing with him a car of the best-known horses on the turf. Among them are Elano, LaSalle, Lannette, and Lazzetta. He also brings two 2-year-olds that will be named at the conclusion of the Birmingham races. Forget, the fastest Ally of the year, and Donation are also in the string. There are other well-bred horses, the property of Mr. G. G. Brown of New York"
 Mr. Dargin Says that the track has been put in f1rst-class condition, and that buildings and stables are being repaired and remodeled as fast as the carpenters can do the work. The various railroads entering the city have also arranged special rates, and the local lines have ev- erything in readiness to accommodate the crowds going to and coming from, the grounds
 Mr Speir leaves in the morning for St. Louis and will ship a car of hls fine stock here. which he does not run in the winter time, and among them the great OConne1l. horse we'll known to every one familiar with the track.

AN EXCELLENT SHOWING.
By the Alabama Building and Loan Association One of Birmingham's Strong finan-
 cial Institutions.

The State Herald presents this morn ing a picture of the main office of the Alabama Building and Loan association, on First avenue. between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets. This association has done a new business since January l. 1896, to the amount of $1S0,0OO; in other words, has written 2600 shares
 A reporter hearing that the volume of business of this company embraced the above figures called at the office to verify what he had heard. He was assured by the general manager of the company, MT. w. V. M. Robertson. that the report was not exaggerated, but on the other hand, was just little short of the exact figures. Turning to a volume lying on his desk, MT. Robertson showed the re- porter the names of the subscribers for 208O shares. or $104,000, of new stock in force. They represented various callingS and professions. lawyers, doctors, bank CTS, merchants and mechanics, having each a number of shares entered oppo- site their names.
 This is a remarkable showing. and is enough to impress every one with the idea that Messrs. w. " M. Robertson and H. M. Robertson, general manager and president respectively. are deter mined to carry out their original plan of making the Alabama Home Building and Loan associat ton one of the leading asso- citations in the state. The personality of the active general manager Is felt in ev- cry department of the business. and to his capable management and compre- hensive and correct view of existing con- ditions Is the success of the association largely due. Each years business of the association has been a record of inn provement and growth. and the predlc- ton Is made that the next will be the most successful in the history of the as- sociation.
 The Alabama Home Building and Loan association Is cooperative banking as- soclation, in which all members shar alike in the profits. This company was
