An attempt to improve the goat as a milk
giver Is being made by NJ. J. Crepin. of Paris.
He has established model goat dairy, and has
obtained very satisfactory stock by crossing the
best native goats with the Nubian buck, the lat
ter being vigorous, Indifferent to cold and horn
less. Goats milk is richer in caseine and more
digestible than cows milk. In composition it is
more nearly like the milk of the human mother
than any other, and it has the advantage of be-
ing comparatively free from risk of infection,
the goat being seldom affected with tuberculosis
and other dangerous maladies. The butter, like
the cheese, is found to be remarkably good.

MUSIC FESTIVAL
 BEGINS THURSDAY It Will Consist of Three Splendid
 Concerts. TWO NIGHT PERFORMANCES Matinee on Friday = Campanari Will Appear Only in First Concert, But Will be Heard in
 Many Selections
TWO NIGHT PERFORMANCES

The May Festival which promises to Birmingham, or more broadly speaking, in the south, begins next Thursday night.
 There are to be three concerts-two night performances and one matinee. While all three of the programmes are popular, if a person could attend only one concert the first should be the one. There is more orchestral variety on Thurs day night, and Campanari will sing on that night While Campanari is on the pro- gramme for only two solos, he will respond to encores and the audience may count on six songs from him. He will probably sing seven. It will be really like Cam panari song recital, with dances and marches by the orchastra, and chorus num- bers thrown in for variety and good meas ure. Campanari will appear only Thurs day night. The concert will begin at 8 o'clock.
 Single performance tickets will be on sale at the principal stores and the Jefferson theater tomorrow

TO THE CONTRARY
 NOTWITHSTANDING Birmingham Will Have Baseball
 This Summer. A NEW MOVEMENT STARTED
No Regular League, But an Understand" ing Between Severa, Cities for 8 Series of fGames-Athletic
 Club Interested

Birmingham will have baseball this sum- mer after all. That much has been prac- tically settled. The first games will be played on the Fist and 22d instant if Bir- mingham can get team ready by that time. The games on those dates will be between Birmingham and Selma.
 A representative of the Selma club was in the city yesterday to arrange for his team to come here That team is booked for four games in Memphis, beginning on the 23d, and as the two dates named are open, it was thought best to arrange for games here to fill in the time.
 The Selma team is composed of profess ional players, and they have been playing splendid ball at Selma the past few days. At present there is no league organization, but understanding exists between the clubs at Selma, Mobile, New Orleans, Rome and Memphis by which number of series of games will be played during the summer months. Birmingham is a central point through which nearly all the teams have to pass in going to and from the different cities, and for that reason they are all anxious to have a team here.
 The Athletic club will probably get up team to play the visitors and regular schedule may be adopted. There is plenty of material in and around Birmingham to form a good team if properly managed and trained. It may be that one or two pitchers will have to be signed to do the twirling, but this would not be very ex- pensive. The only trouble in the way of a successful team would be the inconvenient prounds the cIub wol1ld he forced to use There is no ball park nearer than North Birmingham, and the one there would have to be graded and scraped and few additional seats put up, but that probably could be done with little expense.
 The Memphis and Selma teams will both be here on the 18th and 29th and will play two games unless Birmingham decides to get up team.
