ST. VINCENT'S HOSPITAL
 FAIR WELL PATRONIZED
Many Attractions Offered and Large Crowds in Attendance-Several New Features
 Announced for Tonight.

The large store room in the Walker building, at First avenue and Twenty-first street, in which is being held the St. Vim cents hospital fair. was crowded last night by the friends of that institution and the charitably inclined men and women of Birmingham. An interesting programme had been arranged for the evening, and this was carried out in most happy man. ner to the delight and amusement of those present. The programme consisted of solos by Professor Washburne and MT. Robert Church and a cornet solo by Professor Phil Memon. Perhaps the most interesting feat ure of the entertainment was the cake walk participated in by six couples of lit- tie folks, who acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner The prize, a beau- tiful cake donated by c. w. Cody, was awarded to little Miss Aurelia Sewall and Louis Schillinger. Miss Adele Merriam of Montgomery gave a most graceful eXhibi- tion of skirt dancing.
 The managers of the fair have arranged to have Lunette, whose performances at the street fair last week attracted large crowds and excited considerable interest, to give performances each night this week beginning tonight. The flying lady, as she was seen in the Midway will be quite an attraction in itself.
 Prof. Denck, well known as a pianist, will give selections on the piano this evening.
 Tonights programme will close with grand confetti carnival. A good band has been engaged and will be on hand to play for those who care to dance.
 Admission is free

A WALKOYER FOR THE SELMA TEAM First Game of Baseball of the
 Season. THREE HUNDRED FANS OUT Visitors Had it All Their Way and Won by a Score of l6 to T.
 No Game This Af-
 ternoon
THREE HUNDRED FANS OUT

Three hundred fans saw the Selma with scarcely an effort at North Birming- ham park yesterday afternoon. The game was devoid of interest and but few good plays occurred to relieve the monotony. King Bailey, the old Southern League pitcher, was on the rubber for the visitors and blanked the home boys in the first two innings, allowing them but one hit; in the third. however, they got on to his curves and earned five runs. When the fourth inning opened up McAfee took his place and for four innings kept the locals from scoring. Flournoy came from center field and pitched the eighth and ninth innings and gave up three hits and three runs.
 Gresham went in the box for the home team against his will, but gave way to Hart in the third after the visitors had made ten runs. Gresham was not in prac- tice. having played only two or three games this season, and was unable to hold down the slugging aggregation from the Central City. In the six Innings that Hart pitched the visitors made six runs.
 The best plays of the game were made by Nigo of the local team, who ran back of first base and caught difficult fly, and by Harrison, left fielder of the Selmas, who caught foul fly while running at full speed. OBrien caught splendid game for the home team, and Donovan, short stop, besides taking care of everything that came into his territory hit out beautiful I,.pp -bo fn ri oh hringinp in two men.
 The Selma team is made up of good ball players, fast enough for almost any minor league and they are capable of putting up a much better game than the alleged ex- hibition they gave yesterday afternoon.
 There will be no game this afternoon. the Selma team having gone to Memphis, where they will play four games with the team of that city. A game had been ad- vertised for today, but Manager Smith last night stated that the receipts at yester- days game would not justify him in stay ing over here another day
 Jack Curran umpired the game and gave perfect satisfaction, not kick being regis tered against his decisions by either side.
 The batting order of the teams was as foIlows
 Selma-Harrison left fleld Frost, short stop; Smith, catcher; Dowie, second base; Jordan, third base; Kearney, first base; Flournoy, right field; McAfee, center field and pitcher; Bailey pitcher and short stop.

REGISTRATION LIGHT
Less Than Ten Per Cent of Voters Have
 Qualified

' The registration books for the August state election in Alabama have been open for some time, but up to yesterday the number of voters that have qualified was very small. At the court house less. than POO names have been placed on the regis tration books out of total of over 2,000 in the beat. In the other beats about the same ratio exists.
 One cause of the light registration is the fact that it is not generally known that the registration books are open. The law requires that all voters must qualify in May to vote in the state election in Au- gust and the national election in Novem- Der. In the cities the books are open thr- ty days from the first day or May, Sun days not included.

lola is Laughing at IL.

Tuesdays X. c. journal had 8
long story about the. zinc miners
being about to organize and fight the
smelters to the death by building
smelters and piping gas from Iola:to
Joplin. One miner said he knew
there was gas close to Joplin. Wonder
how? The Journal admitted that 1t
was tough on lola that she was not
even to have the miners. smelter but
would have her gas piped away.
This must be mighty good gas field
This is about the fifth pipe line that
has been laid by the newspapers TO
carry the gas out of the country and
the field shows no evidence OF the
strain. In fact it's all rot. lola used
to worry but she knows that it is
absolutely impossible as things now
stand. A pipe line man might get
enough gas to asphyxiate himself
with, but he would be expected to
put up cash forfeit before he was
given even that much. People simply
laugh at 1t now. "Ha, ha." Like
that. "Ha, ha, ha ~ Don't you

Death of Mrs. Mann.

Mrs. Delilah Mann, lovingly known
by host OF friends all over the coun-
ty as GRANDMOTHER Mann" passed
quietly away Wednesday about IL
o'clock at the home of her son, J. d..
Mann on West street, aged eighty
four years. The funeral. services were
conducted from the house (yeste rday)
Thursday, at 8 o'clock, Rev. Mrs.
Price officiating.
Mrs. Mann WAS one OF the earliest
settlers of the county, having come
here with her husband and located in
Usage township when the county was
one unbroken prairie inhabited by
the deer aud the buffalo and the
Indians. Her acquaintance was ex-
tensive and her many acts of kindness
made hundreds of warm friends who
will mourn at her death. A. H..
Brown, another early settler, today
wears a watch charm of gray hair
given to him by her which he prizes
highly. Their friendship dates from
forty years ago when he, young
man, a stranger in this country, came
to Allen county and was taken sick
and was nursed for months and ted
and clothed by the generous hearted
woman. Such acts as this were
characteristic of her and earned the
owing regard of all who knew her.
