exciting game. Harvard secured the only
run in the sixth when Kendall singled to

proved effective and prevented runs.
The work of both pitchers was splendid,
Griffin not giving single base on balls.
Harvard seven hits We're punched but
poor base running prevented large
score. Wendell led at the bat and played
an excellent game in the field. Captain

WILL GET THE TENTS
War Department Orders State Reim-
 bursed for Tentage Taken

Colonel Tom O. Smith of the Third regi- ment, Alabama National Guard, yesterday received telegram from Adjutant General Brandon who Is in Washington, stating that the Secretary of War would issue an order at once reimpursing the state for tentage turned over to the United States government by the state during the Span ish-American war
 A meeting of the commanding officers of the three Alabama regiments was held i'll Montgomery last Tuesday and a committee appointed to go to Washington to ascertain if the tents could be secured in time for the National Guard to go in camp this year. Adjutant General Brandon was ap- pointed on the committee, and he went to Washington the middle of the week to see what could be done in the matter.
 The commanding officers were awaiting information as to the intention of the gov ernment before ordering the different regi- ments into camp. It is now probable that taken along. The day was an enjoyable one at an early date.

M'GILL'S PLEA TO
 THE NEGROES
He Urges Them to Vote the
 Democratic Ticket.
WHITE MAN IS THEIR FRIEND
He Appeals to Them to Lay Aside Pre- judice, Leave the Pie Brigade, and Vote for Those That
 Pay Them Wages

Hot Shots, a weekly publication under the editorial management of Rev William Me Gill, and devoted to the interests of the negro race, in it's issue of this week urges the negroes to support the Democratic state ticket in the election to be held next month. He makes the plea that the Democrats of Alabama have always been the men who gave the negro work and paid him wages and that the negros best friend has always been the Democratic white man. In urging the negroes to vote the Democratic state ticket Hot Shots makes the following argu- ment:
 "The principal duty of all citizens is to make a livelihood. Politics is purely an in- cidental matter. Suppose the Alabama ne- groes tomorrow cast their votes with the men by whom their daily wages are paid, the men who defend them in the courts and the men who give assistance to their wid- ows and orphans, for what party would these votes be cast? There is but one an- swer. The Democratic party would receive their unqualified and unanimous indorse- ment Let the negro get rid of his preju- dices and act on the same lines of com mon sense as his employers.
 "If he does this he will vote the straight Democratic ticket next month. He will vote for Hon. w J. Sanford and all his associates on the ticket He will not lose time and opportunity by casting a futile and frutless ballot for the paper ticket put out by MT Vaughan. MT. Vaughan's ticket has about as much chance to win snowflake to pass through the fires of Gehenna. Be sensible. Stick to the white men who give you work, and quit losing time relying on the promises before elec- tion and just a minor office or two after wards How many negroes are getting their livelihood from Republicans or Re- publican influences in Alabama ?How many their daily bread by working for and under Democrats? Let the answer to these two questions settle your politics this year. Be sensible"
 The editor, Rev. William McGill, has made several speeches at different places in the State recently, in all of which he has advocated the election of the State Democratic ticket and appealed to the groes to support it. He will go to south east Alabama next week to deliver several speeches.

SHE SAVED THE DOG
 BUT DIED HERSELF
Nancy Betts Killed by an Electric
 Car Near Rolling Mills.
SHE HAD CROSSED TRACK
The Dog Stopped in Front of the Car and She Went Back to Rescue It from Danger and Was
 Instantly Killed

Nancy Betts, the little daughter of Sam uel Betts, puddler at the Birmingham Rolling Mill who resides in avenue D, near Eleventh street, was run over by an electric car about S.s0 o'clock last night and instantly killed.
 The little girl had crossed the loop car line at avenue D and Twelfth streets just ahead of the car in charge of Motorman M. R. Alexander, but turned back to get a small dog that was following her The motorman says that she had crossed safe ly and was out of all danger until she went back for the dog It seems that the dog had stopped between the tracks and was in danger of being run over It was to save her pet that she went back and while trying to rescue him she met her own death. The car ran against her and crushed her life out.
 The motorman came on to the city to notify the company officials and the police and as soon as he had done this he returned to the place where the accident had occur red, but the child's body had been removed.
 In speaking of the accident, Motorman Alexander said: "The little girl ran across the track in front of the car when we were only short distance away She got across safely enough, but back on the track to pick up small dog which she evidently feared would be run over. I did all in my power to stop the car as soon I realized the danger. Before the car could be stop ped, however, she was struck and instantly killed.'
 The motorman was very much grieved over the accident, which, however, it was impossible for him to prevent.
 The remains of the little girl were taken to the residence of her parents, less than half a block away.

ALABAMA IN LITERATURE
Prof DuBose Delivers Interesting Lee
 ture to Epworth League

Professor Joel c. DuBase delivered most able lecture before the Epworth League of the First Methodist church last night on Alabama in Literature"
 The meeting was held in the Sunday school room of the chcurch. The exercises were opened by E. W. Jones, who read several extracts from the Proverbs, after which J. P. McFarrin led in prayer
 In the course of his address Professor DuBose spoke at length of the importance of a thorough knowledge of Alabamas literature to old and young alike. How it should especially appeal to natives of Ala bama.
 Particularizing, he dweit at length upon the distinguished words of Judge A B. Meeks whose productions in history, poe try and essay have placed him in the front rank of the literary men of the country.
 He then mentioned the works of Joseph G. Baldwin, J. J. Hooper, James Hodgson, Colonel John w. DuBose, Miss Julia Tut wiler and many other well-known Ala bama writers. He read number of ex- tracts from the authors mentioned. In closing his address Professor DuBose said that Alabama was entitled to a much high CT place in literature than is now accorded her, even by her own peo- pie. That lack of proper apprecia- ton of our writers is due to lack of familiarity with their works, but that that defect is rapidly being cured by our colleges, lecture courses and the new edi- tions of the works of our early authors.
 When Professor DuBose finished speak ing Thomas M. Owen, on behalf of all present, thanked him for the pleasure his lecture had afforded them
 Professor DuBose is himself a writer cf no mean ability He is the author of Sketches of Alabama History

OLIVETTE'S SUCCESS
This Delightful Opera Concludes Splen-
 did Run at Lakeview Tonight
1897 Second Avenue.

With tonight's performance of the Elite Opera Company at Lakeview will have concluded a six-night's run of their most successful opera, the sparkling "Olivette.' Tonight's performance will also conclude the third week of the summer opera, every night of which, with the exception of few rainy ones, has been highly success ful.
 Last night was exception, for the audience both in size and enthusiasm was one that gave a zest to the performers efforts. Mss Scruggs the saucy Olivette. Miss Vesey as the naughty Countess, Mir Mckinney as the loving Valentine, MT. Washburn as the vigorously profane Cap tain De Merrimac and MT. Lightwood as the merry Colquificot were even more heartily applauded than usual.
 The principals of the company who take other than star roles have been unusually good this week. Lorenzo Luckie as the scheming Duke has handled his part in an original manner, and has with Coquilicot by-play. MT. Luckie is good actor.
 Will Hood as Sanechal, Olivette's papa" is better than he has ever been before. His scene with his daughter Olivette when she hangs weeping on his shoulder is very ef- fective. Miss Georgia Perkins as Veotine, who liked to be kissed fills a very dainty little role. Walter Johnson as Mostique makes good looking, insolent sailor boy
 Olivette will be repeated tonight and Monday night the company will continue its engagement with Andrau's opera, Mas cot" for which elaborate preparations have been made.

COMMISSIONERS
 IF THE POLICE
File Their Answer to the Quo Warranto Proceedings
 of E. N. Earp.

The answer of the Birmingham Police Commission to the quo warranto proceed ings of A. N. Earp was filed yesterday It reads:
 State of Alabama Ex-rel Alvin N. Earp and Avis N Earp vs. J. H. McCary ct al in the Circuit Court of JeHerson County.
 Come now the respondents in the above stated cause and say that the allegations of the petition or information filed by the relator in said cause is insufficient in law, and these defendants demur to the same and for the grounds of demurrer assign: First It is shown by the allegations of said information that respondents were duly elected on the - day of May, lSy9, in pursuance of an act of the General As sembly of Alabama, which act was ap- proved on December g. 1898, members of the Board of Police Commissioners of the city of Birmingham, Ala, and that they entered upon their duties such commissioners and members of the board aforesaid, and said information contains no allegation or averment that these respondents or any of them have done any act, or committed any hct which forfeited their right to said office since their election.
 Second That the allegation that the Act of the Legislature approved December 9, 1898, Is unconstitutional is the averment of a legal opinion and conclusion and not the statement of a fact, and that no fact is set forth in said information, showing a want of title in respondents to the office held by them as stated in said information. Third That the allegation in said infor nation that each and all of the respond ents are unlawfully holding and exercising the said office of members of the Board of Police Commissioners for the city of Bir- mngham, Ala, is statement of a legal conclusion and not the averment of a fact. Fourth. There is no fact averred in and by said information showing or tending to show that the respondents are not entitled to hold the office of members of the Board of Police Commissioners of the city of Bir- mngham, Ala.
 Fifth. It appears from the allegations that the Act approved December, 1898, con tained in it's title the subject matter of the bill, and the same is not unconstitutional. Whereupon respondents say that said in formation ought to be quashed held for naught and dismissed.
