The Memphis Cliffords Will Play Here Thursday and FriGay-News of
 the Base Ball Leagus.

The colored ball players from Mont gomery were to have played in this city the first three days of thds week, but the games have been. cancelled owing to the extreme weakness of .h!at team. The Memphis Cliffords played there Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, and defeated them with ease. That tam is now play ing in Pensacola.

 R. L. Jackson, the Twentieth street tailor, is manager of the Birmingham team and president of the league recent ly organized. He is determined to have noJhing but clean sport, such as any white lover of the game can see with pleasure, and for this reason certain teams in other cities have been refused admittapce to the league.

CITY PRISONERS RETURN
And Will Take Quarters in the Yermin Roost Until the Supreme Court Re-
 mands or Sustains Judge Banks.

Forty of the city prisoners reached the city last night from Coalburg al o'clock and were placed in the city jail. Forty fills every comfortable quarter in this prison. The prisoners were brought back in compliance with the decision of Judge Banks, heretofore published, and the city will await the action of the su- preme court in the matter, at the same time allowing the prisoners the privilege of an haheas corpus proceedings upon the same grounds as passed upon by the circuit judge in his recent ruling.
 A representative of the State Herald met Chief Mcdonald last night and in- terrogated him as to the opinion of the prisoners on the change.
 T only talked with MT. Martin" said the chief, ''whose case you will remember created no little criticism, more especially when he was sent to Coalburg. Martin says that he much preferred Coalburg to the city prison. That he was we'll treat ed there, his health was much improved; ; they had good baths, clean rooms, plen- ty of wholesome food and If there was any difference shown it was favorable to the prisoners. Tasks were given each prisoner and if he would do half right he could get through with It easily ard have plenty of rest time every day in the week. That nearly every prisoner eX- pressed himself much better satisfied than to have been forced to stay in the city prison. which is void of every com fort that even the worst criminal should have a legal right to demand"
 Martin, # " Ii be remembered, was con- victed of adultery ard the case involved some of the best families of Florida. He was thought unable to endure the hard ships that would be imposed upon him at Coalburg, and the local critics, despite the fact that he had no sympathizers other than for mercy, were rather out spoken in their feelings when his name appeared upon the first list of prisoners sent out. a

PERPETUAL MOTION.
Mysterious Force Operating in Birming- ham-Tremendou Power and
 Nominal Expense.

Perpetual motion, the impossible! And m-irrepressible.
 Birmingham harnesses the secret force to her chariot wheels! Millions of dol- lars have been offered by all the prin- cipaI nations of the earth, including our own government and England, for 8 practical machine which, propelled by the power of gravitation or some kindred force, would continue in perpetual molten and thousands of bright minds have been wrecked and untold fortunes squan- dered in fruitless efforts at the solution which the average person dismisses from his mind finally as Impossible"
 And yet the everlasting looming and going" Of the almighty cash of the great department stores is charged with a mighty force for producing low prices which very much resembles perpetual motion; and the handling of every class of goods under one great roof, on the new system of merchandising, reduces the expenses of handling goods to nom- inal figure as compared to the old style, single line method
 Verify, the Messrs. Drennen have intro- duced a new and irresistible force in the development of the coming Birming- ham.

Is a Good Thing But Not for Printers,
 Says Public Printer Palmer.
 Washington, May 1.-The senate com mittee which has undertaken the investi- gation of the workings of the civil ser vice law, held its second meeting today. Senators Pritchard, Lodge and Chiffon conducted the investigation. The civil service committee was represented by President Proctor and MT. G. Waiter. A report from Secretary of the Navy Long ard Postma ster- General Gary was read, reeomnne nding that the civil service laws should be continued, but giving the opn- ion that they should be modified, al though they recommended no changes. F. w. Palmer, the public printer said:
 "As applied to this office, which is sim ply a great manufacturing plant involy- ing varied branches of skilled labor of high grade, the civil service rules are an obstruction rather than an aid to effi- ciency and economy. The civil service rules as promulgated for enforcement here should be modified radically, sus- pended or repealed"
 A number of witnesses testified to d. legged Irregularities in dismissals. The inquiry will proceed until next Satur- day.

Irving NJ. Scott Addresses Young Men
on the Subject.
There was a good sized audience of
Young men in the auditorium OF the Young
Mems Christian Association building last
night. asse M bled to listen TO Irving NJ
Scott lecture on "Tra1e and Industry"
The lecture was very interesting and in
structive, as the speaker gave his hearers
the benefit of.an experience OF over thirty
years of business and travel.
Among other things Mr.. Scott said that
since he came to this city the field of trade
had grown far beyond the greatest expec-
tations OF the people of those days. but
there was still a great field for the young
men If they would only lake advantage OF
it. One of the great faults of the times
was the lack ofsystem. There was need
for the people to learn trade and TO know
it perfectly.
There were hundreds of people who
We're forced to remain in idleness or 10
work for little pay because of the fact that
they had no trade. There were many or.
portunities for intelligent men to make
money and increase the trade OF this city
and State. The people bought too many
things instead of making tnem, and the
man who would turn his trade into those
channels and work intelIlgently to supply
the people with articles witch we are now
buying elsewhere would succeed.
Mr.. Scott then related some of his
travels in foreign lands, and said that the
observations that he made there only
served to emphasize the fact that intelli-
gence and industry and the know edge of
some craft M ade successful! people.

HARVARD BOYS lose
THEIR CRIMSON 4"
Disgra Ced for Having Lost the
Football Came With
Yale.
Chance to Recover the Insignia In
the Approaching Contest
With Pennsylvania.
special Dispatch to The CALL

BOSTON, Nov. 16-The action of the
Harvard coaches in taking from the foot
ball team their sweater bearing the big H
has caused a tremendous amount of COM
ment and whether or not it will serve as
"bracer' for the team is matter OF
opinion.
at is true" said Captain Cabot of the
Harvard football team, when asked re-
garding the report that the crimson II
that ado.ns the black sweater of the var
sity players had been removed. The men
who are affected by this act are Captain
Cabot, Moulton, Swain, Wheeler, Bouve,
Shaw, Doucette, Haskell, Donald, Mills.
Garrison, Dibble, Warren, Parker and
Houghton.
Captain Cabot did not care to say any
thing further than that they had been
deprived of their letter, and Guard Bouve
said: The papers are making good
deaf OF talk about it, but we are not kick
ing.'
Some students who know about the
affair are unanimous IN their support OF
the action OF the coaches, and seem TO
think that it will prove an incentive
toward better work. Others decry the
affair as a sad bit of humiliation and think
it was intended 10 punish few mem bers
Of the eleven who did not work as hard
as they should have done.
1t is generally stated that should Har-
ward win from Pennsylvania Saturday,
the Al" will be replaced and the men
again mounted upon tbeir wreath-covered
pedestals.
Colonel "Jack" Wheelwright rs as
sistant corporation counsel, said he had
no doubt the men played as good foot
ball as they knew how against Yale. He
thought that the disgrace of losing the II
must be most bUmiliating and doubted If
! stripping the men OF the letter would
! have the effect of consolidating the team
/ !or its game with Pennsylvania.
! \. J. Garcea, '91, said tnat he had
! great deal OF sympathy for the players,
! who he had no doubt played their best
/ lie did think that too much honor was
! paid at Harvard to mem bers OF defeated
/ teams. He was OF the opinion that the
! insignia, whether the II or another en-
5lem. should be given only to members O +
| winning teams.
