Whlle the Military Indoor Ball League
is still in It's infancy, it Is in a healthy
state, and the directors are highly elated
at the success of their efforts thus far.
1t was feared by many that on account
of the previous organization of the as
ISOLATION league there would not be suf-
ficient patronage to warrant the forma-
ton of second league, but an spite of
this obstacle staring them in the face,
the promoters of the Military League have
worked assduously and are giving the low
ers Of the game good, clean ball, free from
the Objectionable kicking and wrangling
that usually characterizes contests of this
kind
That there is good ball material in the
league has been evidenced. Blum at sec
ond for the Guards is a crack player His
fielding is of a high standard and he is
getting two and three hits a game. Free
man at left short is also an alert player.
He pitches a good game and uses the stick
is also a good hitter, and the same may
be said of Coney covering left field. Bar
bour's pitching for the Chathams has won
for him much favorable comment. He
is cool and has plenty of speed. Papy at
third plays like only an old timer can, and
when he steps to the rubber, a hit will be
a safe bet. The balance of the players
constituting the league are all good in
their respective positions, and each game
marks an Improvement in the team work.
A silver cup, appropriately inscribed,
will be presented to the winning team at
the close of the season. This handsome
piece of silverware is to be donated by a
Savannah jeweler, and will be played for
each year. No understanding has been
arrived al yet as to whether it will be-
come the property of the team winning it
a stated number of times consecutively.
This will be decided by the directors of
the league at their next meeting.

Friends at Brunswick Think Whole
state Is RaIIying to Him.
Brunswick, Ga, Feb. 5.-All the signs
point to Judge Spencer r. Atkinson be-
coming a candidate for Governor. 1t is
confidently expected here that he win
make formal announcement within the
next few days. There is a pressure be-
ing brought to bear upon him coming
from all portions of the state, which will
practically force him into the race for
Governor. This irresistible rush of sup
port to the Atkinson standard has been
crystalizing for days, and it is now be-
leved that his formal announcement will
occur within the next week.
There is a bouyancy among Judge At
kinson's friends here tonight which car
ries conviction of their candidates inten-
ton. IL is believed Judge Atkinson will
sweep the state and the young Democracy
as well as the old will rally to his sup
port.
His record is model of Democracy In
1892 he ran on a free silver platform
against Hon. Henry G. Turner for Con-
gress. When defeated for the nominal
ton, he gave Mr. Turner his cordial sup
port As judge of the Brunswick circuit,
and associate justice of the Supreme
Court, his wisdom and virtue were recog-
nized as Of the highest/ type His past
record in public life has fshown that he is
a man of the people and one who has the
courage of his convictions.

BETTER CROSSINGS NEEDED.
Railway Company to Begin Work on
Whitaker Street This Week.

The street railway company will begin
work on Whitaker street early this week.
The rail to be used is a special make,
seven inches high, and much heavier than
the ordinary street car rail. The hight
of the rail puts the top on level with the
pavement without the use of iron chairs
or supports between the ties and the rails
The result viii be a great addition to the
comfort of the patrons of the Whitaker
street line.
In laying new track and relaying old
track the street railway company has
left a number of street crossings, espe-
cially in the southern section of the city,
in an unfinished condition. Alderman
Davis, chairman of the street and lane
committee, which has the supervision of
this work told a Morning News reporter
Yesterday that the committee has am in
spector regularly engaged whose business
il is to supervise the work of the street
railway company. The company, Alder
man Davis states, will be required to
Mace The crossings in good condition at

ambassador at Rome Is the daughter
OF Gen. William Preston OF Kentucky,
and fine type OF the beautiful and
accomplished southern woman. says
the Washington Post. She Is a thor
ough American, and although her fa-
ther fought on the confederate side,
her love for the stars aud stripes Us as
devotional as that OF her husband, who
fought beneath their folds She has
draped an immense American flag over
the pOrtico in front of the PiombinO
palace, as a standing welcome to all
Americans. While Mrs Draper's en-
tertainments in Washington were
among the most brilliant given during
the time her husband was in Congress,
the extreme formality which marks
many Of the social functions at the cap
ital was always absent, Mrs. Draper
having remained true to the old south
ern style OF hospitality. Her enter
tainments abroad are characterized by
this same warmth Of spirit and already
her home is becoming the place where
celebrities in Rome most delight to
frequent The Diapers set aside one
day in every week on which all Amer
leans Of whatever condition OF life are
welcome to their home On these days
their palace is visited by nearly all
the American students In Rome The
American students resident in Rome
are much poorer class in point OF
wealth than those OF Paris. but among
them are some very charming individ-
uals. Mrs Draper has the art Of maxi
ing even the poorest OF them feel en-
tirely at home Ia her house and their
esteem for her Us unbounded 1t Is
the custom in italy to place flowers
! before the portraits of the great and
loved ones Of the family. Mrs Draper
has adopted this custom to show 70
foreigners the regard which Americans
have for their President In her re-
ception room she has a fine painting
of President Mckinley ana every morn
ing fresh flowers are placed before IT,
