SELMA WILL TACKLE
 STRONG LOCAL TEAM
Two Excellent Games of Baseball Scheduled for Next Week-The Fans
 Are Happy.

The Selma baseball team will come to Birmingham next week for two games of ball with local team. The games will be played on Monday and Tuesday. The Sel- ma team is composed of semi-professional players, and they have been playing fast ball this season, having won majority of the games played so far with teams from Mobile and New Orleans. Ardis Smith, Birmingham boy, is manager Of the Selma team, and King Bailey, an old Southern League player, is one of the pitchers
 Following the Selma team, games will be arranged with teams from Mobile New Orleans, Rome, Louisville and Memphis While no league has been or will be form ed in the south this year, it is altogether probable that schedule of games to be played during the summer will be arranged between teams representing the cities named.
 The local team which will play against Selma Monday and Tuesday will have some good players on it, and if it does not win either game it will make the Central City aggregation hustle to keep it from doing so. All of the players have not yet been selected, but probably will be today, and practice games will be played the bal ance of the week.
 A match game of baseball will be played by the teams from Howard college and Taylors school on the Howard college grounds this afternoon. There has been considerable rivalry between these teams for some time, and the game this after noon will be exceedingly interesting

ST. VINCENTS FAIR
Will be Opened in the Walker Building
 Tonight

The great fair for the benefit of St. Vim cents hospital will be opened in the Walk. building, First avenue and Twenty first street, tonight, and will be continued during the remaining days of this week and through next week, it is hoped.
 The promoters of the fair feel greatly encouraged by the outlook, and there is every reason for believing that the fair will be exceedingly attractive, and that 1t will bring in a good profit for the hospital fund.
 There will be music and among the vo- cal numbers will be solos by C. c. Wash burn and one or two of his pupils.
 One of the lively features of the fair will be the voting contests for popularity There will be many prominent citizens balloted for, and the interest will be mark ed from the start.
 The ladies will serve refreshments at reasonable prices
 The new and splendid building for the hospital in Twenty-seventh street, South, has already cost a great sum of money, and much money Is still required for con- pleting and properly furnishing the struc- ture. It will be the largest hospital in the south outside of New Orleans, and will be one of the most perfectly arranged and equipped in existence. It will be a noble monument to charity, and will be credit not only to Birmingham and Alabama, but to the entire country. It is therefore hoped and believed that the people of this city and district will give a generous support to the fair, which will be opened tonight. No affnrt will he Soarpd to mako the fair exceedingly attractive to visitors.

He has a farm and experiment. station down on Staten Island, where the famous Shrews bury Ketchup, Burnt Onion Sauce, Shrcws- bury Mushrooms and other deiicasie5 ;tre prepared in a most sl1llful manner.

 ''Alr. Hazard insisted upon taking the gentleman to his house and giving him package of Grape-Nuts break 'ast tocd which is manufactured by the i'ostum Cereal Co.,, at the pure food factories at Battle Creek, Mich, food whi ;h Mir. Haz- ard had been using at his own table for a long time, greatly to his benefit.
 He told the gentleman that ne could get wei, il, few weeks by the use of perfectly prepared food of this sort, and would never forget the day when he first tried Grape Nuts. The prediction came true; the off, cai is hot only alive today, but is in better health than he has experienced in many years, all of which he attributes to ihe iise of Grape-Nuts and from the advice of Mr Heaard"
 There are two reasons for ,hls; in tho first place, Grape-Nuts are made from cer- tain selected portions of wheat and barley that contain phosphate of potash and al- bumen which nature uses in the human system to make up the gray matter in the brain and nerve centers throughout the body
 The nervous system directly controls the digestive machinery and the brain controls the working and the money making power. MT. Hazard knows this, from his knowledge of foods and from his own experience with Grape-Nuts. Therefore, when he took the railway official in charge, he knew exactly what he was doing, and the result proved the correctness of his knowledge. t

EPISCOPALIANS
 MEET IN MOBILE Annual Council of the Diocese of
 Alabama. THE BlSRoPRIC QUESTION Election of Coadjutor to Bishop Wil- mer May or May Not be Taken Up-The Local Churches
 Are Represented
THE BISROPRIC QUESTION

The annual council of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Alabama will convene in Christ church, Mobile, this morning. and will remain in session for several days. Bishop Winner, provided his health be strong enough, will preside and the Rev. Robert B. Barnwell of Selma will preach the opening sermon
 The Rev. John G. Murray, rector of the Church of the Advent, together with Rufus N. Rhodes, Robert Jemison, Dr. E. P. Riggs, George A. Evans and R. II. Pearson of the Church of the Advent, and Francis 5. Clark, w. P. G. Harding, D. M Drennen, Dr. J. r. Davidson and J. IL Fowlkes of St. Mary 's-on- the Highlands left last night for Mobile to attend the council. The Rev. o. P. Fitzsimons, rector of St. Mary s-on-the- Highlands, was at Montevallo yesterday and will proceed from that place to the council.
 The most interesting question that is like ly to come before the diocesan body is the election of a bishop coadjutor, with the right of succession. Bishop Wilmer is with out a coadjutor and his advanced age and feeble health would seem to make it almost necessary for him to have an assistant. But it remains for the venerable head of the diocese to say whether or not he de- sires the council to go into an election at this time. It has been suggested in church circles that it might be well to let the mat ter go over for a year, or for short time a

Many Names Menliened

The names of many clergymen have been mentioned for the coadjutorship, several of them being clergymen outside of Alabama. The Alabama clergymen oftenest mentioned in this connection are Mir Barnwell and MT Murray. The mode of electing bishop, according to the Alabama canons is for the clerical members of the council to nomi- nate to the lay delegates. If the laymen in the exercise of their veto power reject the first name agreed upon by the clergy, then there must be an other nomination, and this procedure continues until clergy and laity agree. In some doceses tie canons provide for the clergy and the lay delegates to vote together.
 The council having elected a bishop, the election must be ratified by the general con- vention of the United States before the con secrauon can take place. The general con- vention meets only biennally, but it is pro- vided that in recess the name of a bishop elect, submitted by a diocesan body, shall be passed upon by the standing committees of all the dioceses, which represent the house of deputies, and finally by each bish- op in the United States. The ratification having been completed, the general secre- tary certifies the fact to the presiding points the consecrators.
 The revision of the canons will be among the questions that will occupy the attention of the council, and it is probable that the adyisability of dividing the diocese and erecting a diocese for northern Alabama will be discussed.

 One of the largest crowds yet assembled during the trial of this case was on hand yesterday and sat through the entire ses- sion, listening to the speeches of the law yers engaged in the cause. There was a larger number of women than on previous days.
