A considerable trade in autographs Of ceebrat-

the great international market for valuable au-

old. rare, and valuable postage stamps Is much

BASEBALL GOSSIP.
to Bring Players Mahouey Tied Up East-Manager Strouthers' Change
 of Base.

The members of the Birmingham Base by the last of this week. Secretary Ali son was very busy yesterday preparing and forwarding transportation to the men who will compose the pennant win- ners of the Southern league.
 There are two vacancies yet to be filled ere the team will be completed, though MT. Allison says with what men the as sociation has already signed rattling game Of ball can be played and pace set hard to keep up with. In losing Man ager Strouthers the association is short a clever first baseman, as well as pleas ant gentleman, but negotiations are pending with Lengthy" Mike Ryan, who had been signed by Little Rock, and who, since the dropping out of that city, is at liberty. Mike is a general favorite in this c,ty, having shown his great fielding and batting abilities with Chattanooga in the last Southern league. Whenever he would reach out from the first bag for a ball, no matter how high low or far out 1t was, he generally scooped 1t in, and all was over except the shouting.
 Mahoney, who was also signed as catcher, cannot come, as he was already under contract with Portland, Ore, and that club refuses to give him up.
 The grounds will be in shape before the arrival of the team, so that on arriving they can at once go to work. The team opens the season with three games at Montgomery, and nothing short of two out of three games will do the fans of this city. It is understood that some of the enthusiasts will go down to the capital to witness the opening game.

"Charley's Aunt" was greeted by a large audience last evening at O'Briens. The play is of the intensest farce com edy order and has pleased theater-goers of this city on a previous occasion. It is full of Imaginable situations, made so by the absurd impersonation of a rich widow by sprig of English gentry yet in collegea
 The male contingent of the company is very clever, especially the young wretch who presumes to be Charley's aunt and an old fool of lover, Stephen Spettigue.
 The ladies of the company are good looking, smooth actresses and read their lines with ease. showing a clear concep- ton of their respective roles. AS whole the play was good and was a treat of wholesome laughter especially to those who had longed been barred from world ly pleasures by the pious limitations of the Lenten season.

Broke Away With a Bottle,

A pistol shot last night on Nineteenth street and Third avenue caused ripple of excitement. The revolver was fired by Will Wise, proprietor of a saloon on Third avenue, to attract attention to a negro who had stolen a bottle of whisky and made off with it. The negro made good his escape through Second alley, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets
