AMUSEMENT

J Sherlock Holmes" will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theatre tomorrow night The New York Evening Sun said of the production of Sherlock Holiness:
 . There are hits and hits, but the hit which Sherlock Holmes scored last night at the Garrick Theatre can only be de- scribed as unusual. Here is a play, partly lnelo-drama and at the same time one of the most original pieces of stage craft &hich an American dramatist has pro- 6uced, play that is bound to lay the whole city, and the whole country, for that matter, under its spell. The play as a whole is practically a new Sherlock Holmes story with which pr. Doyle him self has had very little to do MT. Gillette furnishing plot incident and almost all in the play except the world-famous and ideal detective It bristles from end to end with Gillettes own points. It will thrill anyone who still possesses a spinal col- ,umn. To it's very last moment it keeps you in suspense. From the rise of the first curtain to the fall of the final one there is not a second when the action lags."

PROSPECTS FOR
 BASEBALL GOOD
Plans for Organization of Strong
 Southern League.
MEETING TO BE HELD HERE
Call Has Been Issued and Many Cities Will Send Representatives-C ley Frank of Memphis Talks
 Most Enthusiastically

Memphis, Tenn, October 7.-President indications point to the formation of the most substantial league of Southern base ball clubs since 1894
 The most important development of the past few days in regard to a baseball league is meeting of Southern team managers at Birmingham on the 20th of this month. The meeting was called a few days ago.
 Charles Frank, manager of the Memphis team for the past season, received a copy of the call yesterday It was signed by R. W. Kent of Chattanooga Mr Kent mentions in the call the following cities and their representatives:
 Nashville, Newt Fisher; Montgomery, Ala, King Bailey; Birmingham, Ala, ". J. Boles; Memphis, Charley Frank New Orleans, Abneir Powell; Shreveport La, George Reed Atlanta, Mobile and Selma, Ala, will also have representatives at the meets. In speaking of the Southern League scheme, Charley Frank saiy:
 "The time is ripe for league ball in the South. The past season has taught it's lessons. It has convinced me that the pros poets for ball are brighter than they ever were in the South. From private corre- spondence I know that the promoters of the game in other Southern cities take the same view. I have had letters from nearly every Southern city. We will have at least fifteen cities to pick from, and I think we can easily organize a league of eight or ten cities One thing is certain, we will not endeavor to organize a league on thin air this time The money will be forth coming or there will be nothing done. We all remember the last abortive effort in this direction. We will have no more of that We will put up the money this time, if the promoters are in earnest in what they have written me- I know that Memphis will support good ball and this city will not be the last to put up its earn est money. For my part I shall favor deposit of s1,0OO for each of the clubs. At least eight or ten of the cities we have to pick from can meet this condition. Such deposit will guarantee us good ball and the best efforts to carry out the agreement that may be reached. I believe the Birm- ingham meeting will result in a sincere agreement that will insure Southern league ball next season.

BITTER FEELING
Exists Among Spanish Fishermen-Gov
 ernment is Concerned

Madrid, October 1.-The Spanish govern ment is devoting serious consideration of the rivalry among the fishermen along the Gaician coast, which culminated yesterday in firing on the Spanish gunboat Vasce Nu- neg de Balboa, as she was leaving the port of Vigo. There is apparently no means of removing the bitter feeling between those who use out of date fishing apparatus . d those who employ the latest contrivances.
 A dispatch from Vigo says that the naval commandant of the port was attacked yes- terday, as already cabled, took refuge on a German warship, and strong escort was needed to protect him against the populace on going ashore.

 DECLINES CALL
Cannot Now Leave Church of
 the Advent.
HIS SERMON OF THE MORALS
l, Therefore, Prisoner of the Lord, Be- seech You That Ye Walk Worthy of the Vocation Where
 with Ye Are Called"

Rev John G. Murray of the Church of the Advent announced to his congregation yesterday that he had decided to decline the call recently extended him by a parish in Columbia S. c.
 Rev MT, Murray chose as the text of his morning sermon the epistle for the day, which is taken from the 4th chapter of St. PauFs Epistle to the Epheslans, verses 1-6. q, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, be- seech you that ye walk worthy of the voca- tion wherewith ye are called, with all low Illness and weakness with long suffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavor- ing to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who Is above all, and through all and in you all"
 MT. Murray said that this epistle seemed appropriate to the occasion, the beginning as it were of another year of church work This letter to the Ephesians has two feat ures, doctrinal and hortatory. The faith of the church is set forth; there is one body, one spirit, one Lord, one baptism, one God and all and in you all. It is the beginning of the exhortation to the Ephesians. As the way of the Lord had been shown to and opened for them, so it has for us. As they should walk in it, so should we, to an ex- tent that we should apply these doctrines to our daily lives.
 St. Paul when he says, 'I, the prisoner of the Lord" was a prisoner in double sense, in that he was confined in prison for the Lords sake, and in that he had confined himself, making prisoners of all the licen- tious desires of the flesh, thus giving great CT freedom and scope for all the opposite traits, as love, charity and unselfshness. All this he had done in order that by and through him the truth might be made man. ifest.
 "I beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called" Our ''vocation such is the work and calling of every true man and Christian in the spirit ual life, that he walk worthily. In the secu- lar life 1t means the faithful persistent and and conscientious man. The true exponent of successful prosecution of lifes work is the man who conforms to the principles of the moral law; and the true exponent of faithful living in spiritual affairs is he who conforms to the teaching of Gods com- mandments in all things.
 In the pursuit of this spiritual vocation we are one. There may be conflict of h. terests in the prosecution of the affairs of the secular life, but even here the essentials of success are that we walk worthily are energetic and industrious. There is, how ever a community of interests in the pur- suit of success In the spiritual life-"one
 
 spirit" the sole perpetuating principle of life in that church; lone hope" that which is ever an inspiration to us all-our ulti- mate arrival at home; lone Lord" the only Redeemer; lone faith" that the Lord is for us.
 Let us therefore be as one. !;

Denies That the Deutschland Went
 Ashore as Reported

London, October 7.-The Hamburg-Amer- ican steamer Deutschland, which left Ham, burg yesterday for New York and was re- ported as having grounded in the Elbe, sailed from Southampton at 1:4O D. m. today Captain Albers, in the course of an interview at Southampton, denied that the Deutschland went ashore. He explained that her bow just grazed a shoal on the Elbe, owing to the easterly wind and the recedlng waters. The vessel, however, was backed into deep water, where she anchored for a couple of houhs to await the rising of the tide

The leading role is played by the success ful comedy star, Charles Dickson. The set ting used in the second act of Mistakes Will Happen" Is so heavy that 1t is said to take two hours to set 1t up properly. It is set as quickly as the scenery of the company reaches the theatre, and is then run up the stage on rollers. The set rep resents the coach house of wealthy man and has practical loft which occupies the full sweep of the stage. It is strong enough to bear the weight of five persons running about it.

The Wearing of Gloves.


Originally the wearing of gloves was
conducted on the same sound princi-
pie that inspires a miller to wear a
white hat. but long ago the custom de-
parted from the primitive idea of use
fulness. According to the encyclope-
dias, Laertes was the first to wear a
glove. The farmer king was not fash
ionable, but it is set forth in the ttOdys-
sey" that in his capacity of farmer he
had to deal with certain brambly
bushes, and he must also keep his
hands in kingly condition; hence the
introduction of gloves.
Since that time gloves have had
many and strange signiicances, from a
seal Of the transfer of property to a
challenge to single combat. Not until
centuries later did they begin to take
on class significance. It was when they
were adopted by royalty that the wear
ing of gloves was first regarded as a
mark of station. Some of the early
English kings were buried with gloves
on, and when the manufacture of gloves
was introduced in Great Britain it was
considered as a craft of great dignity
and Importance. During the reign of
King Robert III of Scotland the incor-
poration of the Glovers of Perth, a
wealthy guild which still exists, was
chartered and received armorial bear
ings.
But, although gloves were started on
their career through the centuries by
men. it has fallen to the women to bring
them iuto universal popularity.

love her, but several months passed be-
fore he dared speak of his love. Even
then he had taken her by surprise. She
had yielded to his passion, however,
and they had plighted their troth in the
rectory garden. She was only child,
and he was a man-12 years her senior
and rendered grave beyond his years by
a long struggle against adverse circun-
stances.
After that she had gone to London to
visit some friends They were fashion
able folk, and they had laughed also at
her big, awkward lover. They brought
her "out." She met many men, among
them his cousin. He had made love to
her-in a fashion that was the direct
opposite Of her lovers undemonstrative
way-and she had been dazzled, as a
moth is dazzied by a bright light
So she had chosen. He had accepted
his fate without a word. 1t was natural
that she should care for this younger
man.
Then Craven's friends found him an
easy berth in one of the colonies He
was to proceed there at once, and at
the end of year he was to return
home and marry her. He had suffered
shipwreck, however, and he had been
given up as dead. In due course Thorne,
whose love had not abated a jot, had
renewed his suit. She had told him
that her heart was with the dead, that
she could never love again, but that if
he liked to take her knowing that
we'll, once again they had become en-
gagged, and once again fate had inter
vened.
With a heart full of bitterness he
waited for the London train. It was
late, and he strobe the narrow platform
impatiently. He was eager to get away.
He meant to go away forever. He
would leave the country. He would
travel In fresh land, among fresh
people, perhaps he might forget.
Would it never Gomez He looked at
his watch for the twentieth time. He
seemed to be the only passenger. Yet

the platform in breathless haste. 1t
was girl. a pretty girl. but evidently
suffering from great agitation. She
gave hurried glance up and down the
platform. and as she caught sight Of
his motionless figure she went straight
to him.
"Ah, thank heaven I am in timer
she gasped.
AT the sound of her voice he fell back
and his bag dropped.
''Loo, you'll he cried ''How did

He stared at her in round eyed

"You-you have seen him2'
"Yes.''
There was pause. A porter hurried
up.
''Goin. sir?''
''No." she answered quickly, and,
taking his arm, she drew him aside.
