Trouble in National Baseball League.

The old National Baseball League is
well-nigh destroyed by internal dissension.
The new American League last year proved
a powerful rival, and the season was dis
astrous to the National AT the annual
meeting lately held, the eight clubs were
divided into two factions OF four clubs
each. A. G. Spalding headed one and
Andrew Freedman the other. A twelve

LFrom the Kings Daughters Edition Of the DA1LY.l
Its Formation and Work

on the first Monday in November,
for the purpose of n filling depleted
treasury. The first effort in this
encouraged To continue the practice,
which has been done every year
since, with one exception, when a
lecture from Bob Taylor was sub
stituted, which proved a financial
success.
Less than five years have passed
since those ladies met and resolved
TO do what they could to perpetuate
the memory OF a glorious past. Since
that time the Chapter has had many
valuable additions to its number;
the membership has swelled from
the original twenty-five, until now
we number forty eight upon our roll.
During these five years the hand of
death has touched our Chapter, and
six valued members have been called
up higher Among them our first
President and Vice President are
numbered; but while we sorrow that
we will see them no more on earth,
we feel sure that their faithfulness
in this life will meet with a full
measure of reward in the great be-
yond.
The records show that during
this time 81 021 80 have been raised
and disbursed in various charities,
only $75 remaining in the treasury
at this time.
Among these gifts, none has been
more worthily bestowed than the
amour contributed for the relief OF
her who has spent her life In min 81
| tering to others, and in W hose behalf
this issue of the paper is being
devoted by the Kings Daughters.
Within the past month the sum of
$50 has been sent to Memphis, to
assist in err citing monument to the
memory of the peerless, fearless
Forrest" that Wizard of the Sad
de-" whose brilliant strategy and
magnificent leadership, won for
him the worlds applause.
We gladly take advantage of this
occasion TO thank liberal public
for the ready response to all of our
calls upon it; for we realize that
without this generous aid, our
record would have fallen far short OF
what they have helped US make IT,.

The Students Club.

The Students Club was organized by
the teachers of the Columbia Public
School in October of 1900 for the pur-
pose of the study of literature.
Realizing the broader culture that
comes with the interchange of thought
and the advantage of the contact of
many minds, it was decided to make
this small organization, the nucleus of a
Woman's Club whose aim would be to
do thorough and systematic work. With
this plan, the membership of the club
was enlarged and the subject of "Wo-
man" chosen for the winter course of
study. Thus far, the Oriental Woman
has been treated from the standpoint of
literature and history. Enrolled as
members of the club are: Misses Mary
Bryant, Martha Gibson, Daggett, Lucy
Floyd, Ida Lipscomb, Mary W. Frierson,
Ellen Friel, Addie S. Bennett, Blanche
Scott, Henrietta Lazarus, Mary Carpen-
ter. Mesdames g. w. Mitchell, Mary

doings of the Chapter since it's in
ception.
1t was in the spring of 1896 that a
call came, through the press, for all
the women in aud around the town,
who still remembered aad loved the
Lost Cause, to assemble on a certain
day in the parlor of the Bethel
House. In response to this sum-
mons. twenty-five ladies met with
Mrs. M. @. Goodlett as organizer,
and it was then that the Maury
County Chapter came into being.
MANY have asked the purpose of
the U. d. c. In response 20 these
queries we would say, that its oh.
jects are to aid In giving true his
tory of the South's gallant struggle
in defense of freedom to impress on
the minds and hearts of Southern
youth the business of our cause; to
honor our heroes. living and dead;
who rest in our cemeteries; and,
above all else, to aid the living who
are in need.
1t will probably be remembered
that,a few months after its formation
the Chapter conceived and carried
out quite stupendous undertaking,
in the giving OF tournament and
dinner at the Fair Grounds, near
town. From this was realized the sum
of $3.50, which, with membership fees
taken in. brought the bank account
up to 1898. The Tournament ex

The very word "heroine," means one
who does well her part in the storm and
stress of the strenuous" life, and the
''s'renuous" life may be lived as we'll in
the shades of the home as on the rim of
the battle. We may say, broadly speak
ing, that the realistic" school of fiction
can have no heroes or heroines, and Mr..
Howells and his coterie are holding up
the mirror to a very common humanity,
rather than to nature herself, when
they write of the common places of
every day life.
"Trilby," "Ships That Pass in the
Night" and all this ilk, may be dismissed
as ephemeral, and it is distinctly favor
able that the recent tendency of
fiction, as evinced by the enormous
sales Of the past two years, is dis
tinctly towards the past; even to
wards the wholesome adventures IF
Scott, rather than towards the
prurient Imagination of Du Maurier.
Then, in revised form, let us have
the days of chivalry, when
heroines at every turn were oady to
smile upon the Grant knights; for II
is only when the image of the true
the beautiful, and the good, Is i'm,
pressed in living characters upon the
growing mind, that man has dared
to do his best, and when the
heroines of the future shall be de-
picted in characters of living gold,
we shall have, as of old, the knights

The territorial government of the
Hawaiian islands has decided that
hereafter all United States transports
must pay all port charges required OF
merchant vessels, except wharf fees
which are specifically excepted by the
territorial act. Heretofore, and espe-
cially under the Old Hawaiian govern
ment, these fees were RENTED in the
case Of transports as compliment to
the United States. But it has been
decided now that as transports have
to pay port charges in all other Amer

should not pay them here, especially
as the territorial government is in

Fiction in its broadcast meaning, in .
cludes the drama, as we'll as kindred
subjects, and it is in the drama of all
the ages that we find the noblest concep-
ton of female character. Not even in
the life of Socrates, as depicted by Plato
and Xenophon, do we find as noble a
conception of loyalty and answering de-
votion to duty, as is shown in the char
acter of Antigone; and the very fact that
the Greek imagination could rise thus
high argues more for the Greek charac
tei than the chisel of Phidias and the
sword of Alexander. Dante's theme is
