Birmingham, Nashville and Chattanooga Repre- sente1- Other Clubs to Jon-kot Rival of
 the Amateur Athletic Union.

As announced in Sundays Age-Herald, representatives of the Birmingham, Nash vile and Chattanooga Athletic clubs met in Nashville Sunday to perfect an athletic organization and to arrange field day, basket ball games and other athletic events.
 The organization was called the Southern Interstate Athletic League. J. L. Jordan was elected temporary chairman, and H. H. Eastman, secretary. In short time three members from each club will be elect ed to form board of control. Permanent officers will also be elected
 This league is not a rival or an antagon- ist of the Amateur Athletic union. It is simply an organization to encourage out door and indoor amateur sports among these several clubs The Louisville Athletic club and one or two others may enter later.
 The first field day will be held in Nash vile on the 4th of July, probably at Cum berland park. The rules of the Amateur Athletic union will govern.
 The following will be the e'
 hundred-yard run, 220-yard ru
 run, one-mile run, 120-yard hurt
 high jump, running long jump, putting the sxteen-pound shot, throwing the sixteen- pound hammer, throwing the discus, pole vaulting, one-half mile bicycle race. one mile bicycle race, two-mile bicycle race.
 A series of basket ball games were arr ranged. The following is the schedule:
 Birmingham at Nashville, Feb. 25.
 Chattanooga at Nashville, March 4.
 Birmingham at Chattanooga, March II.
 Nashville at Birmingham, March IS.
 Chattanooga at Birmingham, March 25.
 Nashville at Chattanooga, April 5.
 A tie between any two teams will be played off.
 This game is rapidly growing in favor in the south. It is played indoors with a regular foot ball, though it is passed from hand to hand and not kicked. It has all the exciting features of foot ball without its dangerous qualities. Nashville has four teams organized, and they are having hot contest for the championship of that city. The Birmingham Athletic club will start to playing exhibition games this week preparatory to the match games which be- gin on Feb. 25.
 These three clubs are about the only clubs in this part of the country playing regular basket ball, so this series will de- eide the championship of the south.
 Birmingham will make an effort to range some hand ball matches with these clubs. The local club has the best hand ball court in the south, and also some ex cellent players. Amateur boxing, wrestling and fencing matches will also be arranged later on. @@
 The following members were in attend ance at the Nashville meeting: c. Harry Miles, Birmingham Athletic club; B. E. Loveman and B. F. Lowe, Jr., Chattanoo- ga Athletic club; John l.. Jordan, Henry H. Eastman, Louis K. Webb and Albert J. Kircher, Nashville Athletic club.
 Prof. Miles returned yesterday and re- ports very pleasant trip to Nashville. A basket ball game and special gymnastic en- tertainment was given to the visiting dele. gates Saturday night.

nerves to Paine's celery compound. Yours truly, SILAS D. DRAKE.
 Nothing demoralizes the health sooner or more completely then even the occasional loss of sleep. To start a new day with the brain unrefreshed is like trying to keep worn-out horse up to his work with the whip instead of feeding. The incessant brain activity is as if the skull were laid bare and the surface of the brain were struck lightly every few seconds and with out sign of a '.let up."
 Thus sleeplessness imperceptibly, but no less surely, destroys the brain cells that are the sources of mental power and the health of every organ of the body
 Paine's celery compound gets the nerv- ous system out of this dangerous rut of sleeplessness. It supplies nourishment to the nervous tissues faster than they are worn out, and does not let the nutrition of these delicate parts get low enough to bring on insomnia.
 One of the earliest evidences of the final success of Paine's celery compound in cur- ing debility, nervousness, sleeplessness and Arrangements of liver and kidneys Is the increased appetite, the clearer skin, and that indescribable precursor of health feeling of well being" that takes the place of the tired, languid, melancholy condition.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Frank Ives and William Cation played the opening game of the handicap billiard tournament tonight in Central Music hall. It was at the 1S-inch balk line, no shot in .balk, and Ives was to play 400 to Cations 260. The short stop won the bank, and it looked for a time as though he might make it interesting for the "Young Napoleon He was playing good billiards, while Ives could not get warmed up to his work. At the end of his tenth inning Cations score was 94, while Ives had only Ill to his credit. Then the expected happened. Frank gained his stroke and by clean-cut playing put togther 1S2. He fol- lowed this with 105 in the twelfth inning; added 31 in the next and then ran the game out with 19. The followers of the game now look on Sutton as the only one of the shorts that is likely to take Ives measure. sa

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 17.-The Maryland general assembly will begin at noon tomor- row to ballot for United States senator to succeed the Hon.

The youngest and most bustling city in the United tates-
 rounded last April, Lincoln boasts a sewerage system, electric lights, macadam- ized roads, trolley cars, telephone franchise and a water plant.
 From hamlet to town-to city, in this incredibly short time Lincoln has grown with the wonderful progressiveness looked for only in the west-a splendid ex- ample of the indomitable pertinacity of one strong man.

 There is no hesitation among Mayor Drake's friends in saying that Paine's cele- ry compound has been of the utmost help in enabling him to do prodigious amount Of work, and to get rid of that insomnia that at one time resulted from every pro- longed effort Mayor Drake himself says:
