ASTEP FORWARD.
The Birmingham Railway and Electric Company Accepts the Proposition of
 Base Ball Promo ters-Late News.

The Birmingham Railway and Electric company yesterday accepted the proposi- ton submitted by the Messrs Chamber lain and Staley, insomuch as the sole con- trol of the West End base ball park, as we'll as ether concessions granted, will be in the hands of these gentlemen.
 As stated in Sundays State Herald, MT. Staley went to Chattanooga Sunday aft ernoon for a conference with the other representatives of the clubs i@ she league. Nothing has been heard rsr:,i him, but it is though. that he will have no trouble in securing franchise for this city. The only club objeoting is Knoxvilts. and their stand is a selfish one. It is said that Chattanooga, Atlanta and Asheville would be glad to welcome Birmingham in if Nashville could be induced 70 get in also. The latter proposition is said to be of easy solution, so Birmingham may as we'll be counted in the Southeast-' ern league. a.
 Mir M M. Ullnan, the young attorney. for the base ball association, is very con- ffdent hat success will crown the efforts of his clep.s and that the club will re- celve encourag ging support from the local enthusiasts. He says he has been ap- preached by many ''fans' regarding the outlook, and all express great satisfa ction that the Magic City is to have a worthy representative on the diamond.
 The Birmingham Railway and Electric company have granted the exclusive use and control of the ball park from June l to September 20, inclusive. What re- pairs are needed will be made at once, as the team will be here not later than Thursday or Friday for practice. The grounds and stand are in good condition now. and few days work will place th m in excellent form.
 From Chattanooga Mr. Staley. will go to Nashville and there try to induce the managers of hal tea m to enter the South eastern leagUe. If this is done the men secured for Birmingham will be ordered

 to undergo the operation of ovariotomy, the cutting out of the ovary.
 Yes, you will recover, at least hope you will; but you will never be quite the same woman again. Congestion of the ovaries is fatal to health. If you have any such symptoms be advised in time take a medicine of specific powers! You can find none better than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, prepared especially to meet the needs of woman's sexual system. You can get it at any good druggists. 2 Following we publish letter from woman in Milwaukee, which relates 2 how she was cured of ovarian trouble: ,c" Dear Mrs. Pinlzham:-I suffered with congestion of the ovaries and infamma- | ltion of the womb. Ihad been troubled 3 with suppressed and painful menstrual tion from girl. The doctors told me : the ovaries would have to be removed. took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still remained in mis- erable health in both body and mind, ex- pecting to-part with my reason each coming month. After using one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and a package of Sanative Wash Twas very much relieved. I continued to use your remedies until cured. The last nine months have been passed in perfectg good health. This, Iknow, I owe entirely to the Vegetable Compound. My gratitude is great, indeed, to the one to whom so nany women owe their heath and happiness. --MRs. F. M. KNAPP. 563 Wentworth Ave-, Milwau- kee. Wis.

The Anniston Hot Blast seems to think because the Advertiser had something to say about the democratic party dropping free silver. sloI-tafIi1Irl communism aul populism," that 1t is not in favor of a reunited democracy in Alabama. We print in aLc'ther column where the Ad- veTtiser is showing a disposition to re- unite and will begin with Bryan and the tariff and come on down the line. Why, 'certairly, the Advertiser is going to raise it's voice for re-unitihg the party; 1t loves democracy tco well not to lend it's infiu- eree in that directicn. It pats itself on the br5t,'st every day and proelaims its fealty.

Now that the Advertiser has kind of hankering for MT. Bryan to be made the leader and low tariff the issue for 1900 its cuckoos should not fly off the handle when a slight reference is made coupling them with their wooden god. The time was when these cuckoos accepted it as a compliment to be spoken of as the me tco" of the Advertiser but somehow they become insulted now and talk very ugly when thus referred to.

The Horse and tho Bicycle.

[From the Philadelphia Recorder.
The feat Of Baltimore bicyclist,
WHO rode 10 miles in IL hours, and
3i4 miles in "a hours, seems to show
that the new motor is superior to the
horse in moro ways than one. 1t is
not only insensible to fatigue, but it
is superior in points, of both speed
and endurance, Probably the best
record over made by horse was
that of the animal ridden by Court
sltrahenburg, in October, 1892, which
covered tho distance from Vienna to
Berlin, 400 miles, in II hours and
81 minutes. This was far inferior
to tho 314 miles made by the human
muscle, with tho aid Of the wheel, in
24 hours. The horse can 90 whore
the bicycle cannot, but, given go d
roads, he stands no chance with it
in race against either time or dis
tance.

allied money dealers of the world on.
listing in behalf of their schemes the
men against whose interests those
schemes are directed. Contraction
ruins everybody but the worlds
pawnbrokers, large and small. When
will manufacturers, merchants and
railroad managers learn this great
truth and band themselves together
to restore the volume Of money to its
former proportion for the uses for
which it is demanded?
There is nothing mysterious about
this question. The valuo of money
is regulated by it's quality. The
prices of all goods are lowered by
the decrease of the value of money.
The gold product of each year is
consumed in tho arts, and is not
added to the money circulation Of
the world. So says Mr.. Griffin, the
acknowledged authority as money
statistician Of tho London gold mon
ometalists. This is why the gold
standard means contraction, because
it is stationary supply for a con-
stantly increasing demand.
The cause of independent bimetal
lism is not the cause Of the farmer,
the laborer or the debtor any more
than it is of tho capitalist whose mo-
ney is invested in business enter
prises of every description.

McClurc's Magazine for Juno will
open with an article by Prof. S. p.
Langley, Secretary Of the Smithson-
ian Institution, describing the ely
ing machine" that he himself has
lately completed, after ton years of
laborious experiment, and which is
the first "hying machine" ever made
by man, that has actually flown.
The article will be fully illustrated
from drawings and photographs
made under Prof. Langloy's own di-
rection. In view Of the great inter
est and Importance Of the subject,
and the fact that it is Prof. Lang
ley's own account of his machine,
the article is bound to attract wide
attention.
