Death of Mrs. A. SuIzba cher

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
Selma, Ala, June 1-This morning at
fifteen minutes to o'clock Mrs A. Sulz-
bacher closed her eyes in deaths sleep.
She had been Ill ever since her daughter s
death, which occurred about a month ago,
and for the last few days but little hope
was entertained for her recovery. Her
death leaves three children orphans, who
in addition to their sorrow at their sister $
death now mourn the loss of fond mother.
Mrs. Sulzbacher lived for her children,
she idolized them and they were in turn
dutiful and ever thoughtful of her COM
fort. The death of her daughter, which
occurred after only a few days illness,
was sad blow to her and her heart was
broken. Now the younger sister, Miss
Beatrice, is very i'll and serious apprehen-
sion is felt for her recovery.
The other children, Sam, Joseph and
Beatrice have the earnest sympathy of
this people in this new grief that almost
rends their hearts.

the marine corps for their work throughout
the campaign. In view of the prospective
increase in the navy and necessity of guard
ing the naval stations which will be needed
in the newly acquired territory of the
United States, and especially in view of the
general efficiency displayed by this corps
the secretary says it should be increased to

List of Merchant Vessels
Secretary Ing gives a complete list of all
the merchant vessels and yachts that were

The secretary submits estimates for the

increase of S9,S69,175 over last year.
In reference to the employment of labor

pointments to veterans of the Spanish
American war.
Under the head of legislation recon-
mended the secretary approves a number
general. These, look to the use of deposit
tions in naval courtmartials, etc.
In his opinion the transport service
should be put under the control of the

The secretary submits bills providing
that in rewarding one officer, injustice shall
not be done to another and recommends
that the grades of admiral and vice.

The mos. in portant chapter of the report
is that relating to the increase of the navy,
and under this head the secretary transmits
and Endorses the report of the naval board
of bureau chiefs, looking to the increase of
the navy by nc less than fifteen ships, some
of the most powerful character.
The Increase Recommended
The naval beard of construction recon-
mends the following increase:
Three 1880 ton battleships to cost, ex-
elusive of armor and armament $3,e00,U00
each; three 1900 ton armored cruisers to

$4,000,000 each; three six thousand
ton prtected cruisers to cost, ex-
elusive of armor and armament 81, Isl, 900
each and six cruisers to cost Sill 800 each.
All these vessels are to have the highest
speed compatible with good cruising quail
ties, great radius of action and to carry the
of their class, the armored cruisers and
battleships to have the heaviest armor.

There were three college games in par

which excited a great deal of interest in
Birmingham.
The FIRST of them was the Auburn-Georgia

ever since the University Of North Carolina
PLAYED these two colleges week or two
ago. The Carolinians defeated Georgia "A

then victory over Georgia has been pre-
dicted for Auburn
Auburn won the game entirely on the
grit and superior physical training OF Its
men. although many pounds lighter than
Georgia. At the end of the first half Geor-
eia had thirteen points and Auburn only
four. and yet with these terrible odds
against them, the plucky little Alabamians
walked into the Georgia line for gain after
