And of what other remedy can that be
said?
Every form of nervous trouble, whether
localized in the muscles, heart, brain, or
in the nerves themselves, is cured-to stay
cured-by Paine's celery compound Every
kind and degree of impoverishment of the
system is overcome by this greatest of all
invfgorators after other remedies have
shown no beneficial effect.
1t is the spring remedy vouched for by
physicians, teachers and well read, well in
formed men and women in every part of
the country.
People are every where dying of exhaust
ed nervous energy or dragging out their
lives in pain and discomfort because of
sleeplessness, nervousness and fagged-out
brains. The objective point of Paine's cell

nervous troubles Is to feed the nerves.

THE PHILADELPH1A's VISIT.
Kautz Will Make No Effort to Restore
the Statu Quo.

Washington, March 10.-It is denied posi-
lively at tho state department that Rear
Admiral Kautz has gone to Samoa on the
Philadelphia to restore the statu quo exist
ing before the last emule, to depose Mataa-
ia and restore Maletoa Tanus, even If

evidence of the interest held by the United
States in the islands. While there he will
make careful examination of the conditions
in the islands and look into the events lead
ing up to the installation of the provisional
government, reporting the facts to WASH

Full reports from the officials Concerning
the matter have been received at the state
department regarding the recent trouble at
Samoa, and negotiations based on them are

CHAIRMAN BAXBY
Consults With Secretary Hitchcock
Regarding Indian Survey.

Washington, March 10.-Tams Baxby,
chairman of the committee to treat with
the five civilized tribes arrived here to-day
and had q consultation with Secretary
Hitchcock, arranging details incident to the
Inauguration of the survey preliminary to
the allotments of land on the Creek nation
in tho Indian territory, the establishment
of local land Office for the Creeks at
Muskogee and other matters.
He reported that on March 20 the COM
mission would hold covert to consider
between 5000 and 10000 contested citizens
passes in the Cherokee nation, many of
which, however, would be thrown out as
having already been passed upon. About
the middle of April the commission will
begin the task of taking the cases of the
Choctaw nation. Bixby stated the allot-
ments of the Creek lands would be COM
pleted some time next year and he pre-
dicted within six or eight years the lands
of al the five tribes would be allotted and
all the Indians on the same citizenship
basis as the whites.
General Porter and w. T. Hutchins, of
Muskegee, 1. r., are here representing the
interests of the cattlemen and have been
urging upon the department the admission
of cattle into the Creek lands. Under
money leases by the claims which the de-
partment SO far, holds the Curtis act will
not permit after April until after the allot-
ment of the land. This allotment cannot
be effected this year and they protest
against the shutting out of the stock this
season.

being sixty pounds. The Shetlands had at
Montgomery, where they wintered, hair 3
inches long, but they have been clipped,
showing their strength and symmetry. The
sustaining strength of the Shetlands Is
something wonderful. They will carry with
ease heavy men, and they will pull load
far beyond their weight. Sonme of them
are very beautiful. In the military drill

In tine drill they go up or down in size.
and their accuracy and intelligence In 1t Is
wonderful. Neither Prof Gentry nor
Manager Coons ever tires when talking
about the faithful ponies.
Monkeys Play Part
Tie monkeys are an essential part Of the
show, for the tricks that the dogs cannot
do the monkeys can. They do not become
attached to their trainer as the dogs do,
and they never become thoroughly domes-
ticated, but an intelligent monkey can be
taught to do tricks that dogs are incapable
of. Their long clinging feet are as efficient
as fingers, and in this respect they can do
things that pertain closely to human beings.
Besides having practical fingers, they are
quick as flash, taking and executing or
ders with a celebrity that dogs are incapable
of. Prof. Gentry has grouped the three
classes of pets together, and he makes them
conduct themselves in the ring almost like
folks. The famous monkey, "Dr. john"
is considered the best trained and most in
telligent monkey IN the world. He watches
with keenness his masters face and an
order is no sooner given than it Is carried
out. He certainly knows what he Is told
to do. 1t is not matter of routine or of
mere trick. When "Dr. John" is told to
! light a match, he knows what the words
medicine he knows that the whip is not
wanted. He is often told to pick up the
ines with watch he drives a pony, and he
never under any circumstances fails to re-
spond. All of the monkeys are performing
monkeys. All are in training; all know
what is wanted of them when they are
called into the ring. There are no harsh
words for them at any time, and one Is
never punished for non-fufillment of his
task unit. 1t is known whether he is well
| or I'll. All of the performers-dogs. ponies
and monkeys-have their ills. just as people
| do. and keepers and trainers first try to as.

Ont on Avenue A and Eighteenth streets
arc three great spacious tents devoted 10
dogs, monkeys and ponies.
In the first tent the three classes Of pets
are kept. In there are eighty dogs, fifty
ponies, and twenty monkeys. These are
the performers, star and otherwise, OF Pro1
Gentry's famous Dog and Pony Show
The dogs are kept in two wire pens, each
being about twenty feet square. They sleep
on small pine chips spread on water-tight
secured by light chains, but most Of them
are free to spring over the enclosing fence.
In the pens are all the varieties of FLOODED
dogs known to man. Some are worth small
fortunes. All are smart. All arc ring"
dogs All have their "acts," from the i'm
mense st. Bernard, Caesar, down to the
pugs and poodles
Poodles and Terriers Smartest
The poodles and fox terriers are the chief
dependence OF this remarkable show. AS
a rule the hounds are only good for speed.
After all, a smart dog is matter of selec-
ton Out of dozen puppies one with
great brain can perhaps he found, and then
the trainer goes to work to win his conf
dence and affection by kind treatment, and
when he has won both he can teach an in
telligent dog very many astonishing tricks,
whereas his brothers and sisters of the
litter can not be taught anything of value.
All puppies are not born to shine in the
ring, any mere than all children are born
to reach the white house.
The care of the dogs is matter of study
and system fey are fed but once day,
but fresh water is kept ready at all times.
A dog drinks fully forty times day, and
this fact should be remembered by owners
of dogs. Give them access to fresh water
at all times. And the very best food that
any dog can have, be he worth thousand
dollars or ten cents, consists of the odds
and ends from hotel tahle-scraps Of
meat, pies, pieces of vegetables. bits of
bread, and all the other remnants Of a
table Such food contains requisite variety.
going to show that mans food Is dogs food
also. Once a week they get bread and
milk-the best bakers bread in good fresh
milk. Once a day they are bathed. AS a
rule they are kind to each other, though
they are much like children after all, being
sometimes pettish. The trailer uses mere
kindness than severity. and every dog
recognizes in him a true friend. Dogs are
affectionate; they trust those who are kind
to them. whereas cats trust no one.

BIRMINGHAM WENT
DOWN IN DEFEAT
2sssSSF'
But it Was Only After a Long
and Hard Contest.
THE GAME ENDED IN A TIE
But Under the Rules Play Was Con-
tinued, and Chattanooga Cap
tain Made Sensational Throw
and Won for His Team.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 1O.-(Special)-
The most exciting game of basket ball ever
played in the soath was that between Bir-
mingham and Chattanooga tonight, in
which Birmingham lost by a score of IA
to H.
One minute before the game was to close
the score was 10 to 10. Ferguson got a goal
at this point and Birmingham was two
points ahead. With only fifteen seconds to
play, Chattanooga made another goal, and
the game was ended tie. But according
to rules tie game must be continued I'M
til one side scores two points.
After two or three minutes of the fiercest
kind of play Captain Oehmig made the sem
sational play of the game, throwing a goal
from a distance of over thirty feet, and
winning the game amid the utmost enthu-
siasm on the part of the spectators.
For Birmingham B.ddle and Huey each
made one goal, and Ferguson two field goals
and four goals from fouls. Underwood had
his leg slightly sprained in the second half,
which handicapped him in getting around.
Captain Ferguson made fatal mistake in
not substituting Warren.
For Chattanooga Frawley made five
points, Bryan three, Oehmig two, Heron
two and Morrison two.
The game was a rough one all the way
through, and numerous fouls were called.
Birmingham did some very good passing,
but somehow was unable to make anything
out of It,
The following are the teams as they lined
up against each other: Huey and Bryan,
Ferguson and Oehmig, McDonough and
Heron, Biddle and Frawley, Underwood
and Morrison.
The Birmingham team left for parts an

The Cincinnati Reds in charge of
Manager Bancroft and Captain Ewing
spent one hour in Birmingham yesterday
morning
They were en- route to Columbus, Ga,
where they will get in training for the regu-
lar league season.
The Reds are already claiming the
pennant, as is usual with them. If the pen
nant could be won before the season opens
Cincinnati would always land the rag.
There were sixteen or seventeen players,
including a lot of youngsters up for trial.
"Still Bill Hill and Heinie Peitz were
neither with the team. They will join 1t
later.
Manager Bancroft said that the REDS
would like to stop off here on their return
trip and play an exhibition game.

Ted Sullivan is in Town to Or
ganize Team.
THE FOUNDATION WAS LAID
For Team At Meeting Held Last Night
Sullivan Says Chances Are
Very Good for the Present
League to Stick.

Ted Sullivan, with 1.-THE same old SMILE"
and carrying with him abundant assurances
that the coming season of the Southern
League would be successful, arrived in Bir-
mingham last night.
With his advent came a wh'rlwind of
baseball enthusiasm, and before he had
been in the city an hour a meeting Of the
cranks was held and the foundation laid
for team to represent Birmingham in the
league which was formed at Mobile several
days ago.
Final steps will be taken tonight at a
meeting to be held in the parlors of the
Florence hotel at s o'clock. Mr.. Sullivan
and several local enthusiasts will tour the
city today, and by night 1t is thought plans
can be matured and permanent organiza-
tion effected at the meeting.
AS now arranged the league includes
Montgomery Mobile. New Orleans and
Shreveport. If Birmingham enters some
other city must be secured or one dropped.
This latter plan seems to be the popular
zone. 1t is argued that four-cub league,
composed of Birmingham, Montgomery.
Mobile and New Orleans, would start out
with all the assurances of success. The
mileage would De little, ana the rivalry
!. would be so intense that large crowds would
attend the games.
IF did not have every assurance that
the league will be a success" said Mr.. Sui
livan last night, II would not waste any
time on it. Birmingham has had several
years rest from ball, and she has every
prospect of putting paying team in the
field this season. Any American city that
does not have the national game is behind
the times. But there is no necessity of ar
guing the good points of baseball Blr
mingham already recognizes this, and she
is going to have a team"
He will manage the Montgomery team,
and has a number of corking good players
signed, and, while he says he won't have
a cinch on the pennant he will be found at
the top notch in the chase for the flag.
All that Birmingham has to do is to sig
Nifty her intention of entering the league.
Just as soon as this is done a meeting will
be held, composed of representatives from
each city, and she will be readily admit
ted. A meeting could be held here or i'll
some of the other cities within a week.
1t is a foregone conclusion that If Bir-
