The Mozart Park management will
entertain the bowlers and their friends
this evening at the park, the occasion
being the opening of the summer tour
nament. No games are scheduled for
this evening, but the alleys will be
given to the bowlers and their friends.
Great care has been taken to get the
alleys in shape and they are as true
as they can possibly be. In addition
to this the alleys have been polished
until they are, in the parlance of bowl
ers, very fast" The new balls and
pins are the finest ever seen in the
city, the balls being so finger-holed as
to suit any bowler. Manager Handlan
expects a big turnout this evening and
has made preparations for their well
fare. Every one desiring to come will
be carried free of charge on the incline,
and a nice cold luncheon will be pro-
vided.

AMUSEM ENTS.

OPERA HOUSE-Tuesday night. Minnie
Madden Fiske. in Love Finds the Way"
The coming to the Opera House of Mrs.
Fiske on May VIII be an event that well
may excite theatre patrons This great
actress will appear in one of her greatest
plays, Love Finds the Way" The motif
of the play is suggested by its name. Its
focal character is a girl, a cripple, who is
rich, surrounded by family affection and
all material advantages, yet who is
wretched. Her inffrm.ty has soured her
temper and made her a eynic: yet in the
dramatic development of the story her
better attributes are brought forth, and
after the stress of happenings that give
pay to all the emotions, she emerges at
last a happy and noble woman.

training, and both will do very little
work to-day. Gardner has been under

the ring in the pink of condition. He
is also very confident, and feels that
he will experience no trouble in re-
yersing the decision of the referee at
their last meeting. He has profited by
the experience in the ring with McClel-
land, and will meet him in much better
shape. Hugh Arnold says Eddie is
stronger than Oscar has ever been. COS

which he can only secure by beating
Eddie tonight.

This will be gala day for base ball
fans" 1t will mark the opening of the
Interstate base ball season of 1899, and
the local team will cross bats with New
Castle, one of the strongest clubs in
the League. The game will be pre-
coded by street parade, headed by the
Opera House band, over the route here
tofore published in the Register. May
or Sweeney will pitch the first ball.
President c. B. Power, of the Interstate
League, and Directors of the New Cas-
tie and the old Springfield teams, will
occupy carriages in the procession.
Wheeling yesterday opened the ball
park at Myers Lake, near Canton, in
a very one-sided game with the Can
ton team 1t was SNAP" for the local
club from the start Mahaffey was in
the box, and the Canton boys scored
a run in the first inning. In Wheel
ing's half nine scores were made. to
which three were added in each of the
second and third innings. Jimmy
Cooper tried three twirlers in the box
with Indifferent success. Wheeling
players found them with ease. and
batted the ball all over the lot. The
game ended with the score Is to 3 in
favor OF Wheeling. A delegation of
fully 1000 persons went out on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie excursion from
this city, Wellsburg and other points,
and rooted hard for Wheeling. Some of
the Canton sports had confidence in
their team to peddle, and those who
were disposed to back up their judg
ment, found ready takers, many of the
Wheeling boys making expense mon
ey."
Manager Lytle yesterday forwarded
to pitcher Cassaboin, of Chicago, his
release. Hunt and Lattimer are both
strong, and will do all the backstop
work for the team.
The long anticipated decision Of Nick
Young concerning the dispute of Wheel
ing and Syracuse over the services of
infielders Mozena and Woodlock. was
settled yesterday, when Nick Young
wired the local management that the
players have been awarded to Wheel
ing. Howell's claims upon the SER
vices of those two men were of such
a character that no other decision
could have been rendered in justice.
President Howell was not prepared last
night to say just what he will do with
these two men. Their places on the
team are now filled very acceptably,
and it might be wise policy under the
circumstances, to effect some sort of a
deal with Syracuse, provided the man
agement of the New York club is dis
posed to offer cash consideration for
their release.

Col. Z. w. Cole, of Nashville, died

which he was a guest He was walking
through the hotel corridor, when he
gave a sudden gasp and fell to the
marble floor, his head strikingly heav-
lily. He was unconscious when picked
up. All efforts to revive him were
fruitless and he died in about an hour.
The hotel physicien thought death was
due to stroke of apoplexy. Edmund
w. Cole was born in Giles county, Ten
nessee, Tennessee, July Il, 1927, his
parents coming from an old Virginia
family. He went to Nashville in 1915
with nothing bat his own pluck and
energy to back him and was soon en-
plOyed as a clerk in dry goods store.
From there he worked himself into the
offices of the Nashville, Chattanooga &
St. Louis Railroad, and in course of
time became president of the system,
besides being largely interested in other
railroad interests of the South. Col.
Cole retired a number of years ago
from active business life and since then
his career has been marked by philan-
thrOpic works, chief among which is
the erection of the Randall-Cole Insti-
tute, now known as the Tennessee In
dustrial School. His real estate hold
ings are the largest of any citizen of
Nashville and his wealth greater than

Alabastine is permanent coating
for walls and ceilings, designed to take
the place of kalsomines and wall pa
per. Alabastine sets with the wall. It
is practically a stone cement, as hard
and smooth as paint, but much less ex-
pensive, and is applied just as easily by
anyone. 1t can be mixed with either
cold or hot water, and applied with a
kalsomine brush. It is clean, healthful,
and economical. Every one of the
strong points of Alabastine, proved to
be such by the test of twenty years,
is picked up by every new manufac-
turer of ordinary kalsomine and claimed
for his goods. These claims are alb
surd on their face. Alabastine alone
can prove its durability by the test of
time. 1t is sold by paint dealers, in
5-lb. packages properly labeled.
