Do you suffer from insomnia? Are you one of those much-to-be-p -pitied individuals who wrestle with the pillow through the long hours of the night and rise in the morning with haggard features and hollow eyes? If so, take advantage of the re- markable power of this greatest of all remedies for rstoring strength.
 Paine's celery compound calms and equalizes all the nervous tissues and in- duces the body to take on solid flesh.
 Nervous debility causes timidity, depres- sion, and lack of confidence in the strug- gle of life whereas plenty of nervous force insures self reliance, enterprise and pros- perity. In untold number of cases the lack of success can easily be traced to simple lack of nerve force.
 There is no better foundation for perman- ent good health, or a better preparation for coping with the hard work and taxing strain of life than rich, red. pure blood and plenty of 1t, acquired by use of Pafne's celery compound.
 Physicians recognize Paine's celery con1- pound as the one scientific remedy for rec storing health and strength to the worn- out system.

Recent events showed that camp is more dangerous than battle Not only Tn the army, but in ordinary life, more lives are lost by a needless disregard of the be- ginnings of poor health than by all other causes combined.
 Dyspepsia or nervousness is absolutely inexcusable now. There is no more reason for a man or woman eating with poor appe- tite or sleeping poorly or suffering contin- ually from neuralgia or rheumatism today than there is of his or her going without the necessities of life.
 Every candid person who has dragged along, under the depressing effects of nerve and brain exhaustion, needs to take to heart the words of such unbiased persons as Senator Tabor, who cannot afford to at tach their guarantee to anything they have not themselves investigated.

AMONG THE RAILROADS.

News was received in the city yesterday by R. M. Ellis, travelling passenger agent of she Alabama Great Southern railroad, that the Southern Passenger association had again granted a half-rate for all mustered out or discharged soldiers who were leaving camp for their homes. This rule was in force several weeks ago, but was revoked on account of abuses which the soldiers were said to have committed in favor of ticket scalpers. Hereafter every soldier wanting a half-rate ticket will have his dis charge stamped, and after then it will not be good for another ticket.
 The new passenger train schedule of the Southern railroad will go into effect on De- cember {. The following are the only changes that will be made
 No. s6 will leave Birmingham for At lanta at 4:45 o'clock in the afternoon, in- stead of at 4:15 as 1t does now.
 No. 37 will arrive in Birmingham from Atlanta at 1O:O5 at night, instead of at 10 o'clock, as it does now.

Gossip Of the Players and
Coming Championship
Contests Changes
q In the Rules.

Every golf enthusiast in the country
~ now looking forward with pleasurable
anticipation to the open championship
tournament which takes place on the
Eth and 18th of this month at the Myo-
pia Hunt clLb course which Is situated
at Hamilton. Mass This tournament is
the second event OF any magnitude
among the annual golf fixtures.
The first important event In the golf
world each season Is the intercollegiate
tourney, which, as every one knows,
was this year again won by Yale, with
Harvard second. the place the latter
also occupied last season. Yale's win
ming team was composed of Roderlck
Terry, Jr., captain; w. Rossiter Belts.
John Reid, Jr.; w. y. Smith, T. NJ.
Robertson and II. II. Crowell. The first
three mentioned players were on the
1897 championship team. The individual
Intercollegiate champion this season Is
j. F. Curtis of Harvard. This event is
very important one. for the players In
It very frequently prove prominent fac
tors In the matches that take place
during the following summer.
The open championship tournament
affords the only opportunity amateurs
have of pltting themselves in competi-
to any player in the world. Despite re-
ports to the contrary 1t may safely be
stated. however that no foreigners will
take part this year. although 1t is posi-
bic that representatives from Great
Britain may be seen on some of the
wen known American courses later in
the season.
All the prominent professionals In the
country who can manage to be present
will take part in the open champion
ships. Last years winner was Joseph
Lloyd, professional, of the Essex Coun-
ty club. Manchester, Mass. His score
was 1g2 strokes for the SO holes. -Four
other prizes were offered, every one OF
which was carried off by professional.
Some of the best known players who are
expected TO take part this year, but who
couldn't play last season on account OF
the long trip to Chicago. where the con
test was held, are Willie Campbell,
Franklin Park Golf club Boston, who
is now playing in excellent form; Alex
ander Fl. Findiay OF Boston, the Fltz-
John brothers of Otsego N. Y, and
probably two dozen new men who have
recently come over from England To
take charge of courses and who are
practically unknown outside their own
clubs. Mr.. II. G. Whigham. who won
the amateur championship last year for
the second successive season. may play.
but as he has been acting as CORE
spondent In Cuba for a newspaper for
the past few months his entry Is uncer-
tain.
i asked Mr.. Josiah Newman. the well
known expert and editor of Golf, II he
would name the players who. in his
opinion, were likely to land in the first
six places. He said that owing to the
great number of players entered, so
many of whom are absolutely dark
horses, 1t was very difficult matter,
but that on form the following six
should stand the hest chance of gaining
the coveted positions: Joe Lloyd, the

1t was not until 1S43 that lacrosse was
adopted by the Canadians. At first 1t
did not attract much attention, and not
until some 20 years later did the young
white men begin to see the great ad-
vantages and opportunities afforded by
the game. About 1860 Montreal intro
duced 1t as recognized sport, and the
organization of the Montreal Lacrosse
club was the pioneer of numerous sim
liar organizations throughout the Do
mlnion. The formation of the National
Lacrosse Association of Canada soon
after resulted In boom, to which the
pastime owes more for its growth than
to any other factor.
It was not long before the game was
carried over the borders. for Americans
were not slow to perceive Its chief fea-
tures-the skill and science necessary
to play lt--and the Amateur Lacrosse
Association of the United States was
the outcome. In Great Britain the
game has obtained a firm foothold, es-
pecally among the larger universities
and colleges, and there are a great
many strong clubs throughout the is
land and in Ireland.
1t was expected that representative
British team would make a tour of the
United States and Canada this season.
but private business prevented some of
the players from coming over, and the
breaking out of the war has rather put
a damper on all international contests
in the sporting world this year. so the
trip was postponed for q season. Ar
rangements are already being made,
however. which will insure the pres
ence of n strong combination of players
from over the water next season. Much
is expected to result from the trip. espe-
cially in the matter of Introducing the
game to the general public and getting
colleges such as Princeton, which used
to support team, but gave 1t up so as
to have more funds for track athletics.

In and around New York have some
very strong clubs, the metropolitan dis
trict being represented by no less than
three in the league. They are Columbia
| university, the College Of the City Of
New York and Stevens institute Of Ho-
boken, N. J.
Tho two strongest clubs In the Unit
ed States are undoubtedly the Crescent
Athletic team of New York and Lehigh
university. The defeat of the latter by
Johns Hopkins in the intercollegiate
series is generally regarded among
students of the game as being in the
nature of a fiuke and in no manner
proof of the superiority of the Maryland
institution. The Crescents defeated the
Lehigh college men in well fought con-
test last month and consequently are
regarded as the strongest aggregation of
players in the United States. They have
a good many ex-Canadians now engag-
ed in business in New York on their
team who were experts in their own
country and consequently have a wider
field to choose from than the collegians.
