 Association Broke Even
 On the Season.

The Birmingham baseball club re- turned to the city yesterday and dis banded for the season. The team closed the season at Little Rock last wednes- day, but played an exhibition game in that city on Thursday and two games in Hot Springs on Friday and Saturday.
 Of the eleven members who went west with the club on September 12 eight re- turned yesterday, the others going to their homes from Little Rock.
 Tom Gillen went to his home in St. Louis. Tom Iipp remained in Hot Springs, where he will be several weeks, and McDivitt left the team at Memphis Sunday night for his home in New Or leans. Flaherty was released at Mem rhis week ago last Sunday. Taylor talk ing his place at third
 The men who returned to Birmingham yesterday were Pitchers Wilhelm and Keefe, Catcher Kalkhoff, First Baseman LaRocque Second Baseman Clark, Short stop veitch. Third Baseman Taylor and Outfielder Martin.
 Wilhelm Clark and Veitch left on the Queen and Crescent's Pan-American train last night for their homes at Woes ter and Circleville, O., and Brooklyn, N. r.. and Keefe leaves this morning for Washington city, where his family re- side. Kalkhoff left for his home in Louis- vile. LaRocque, Martin and Taylor prob ably will spend the winter here, they having been offered employment in this city.
 Most of the men signed contracts for 1902 before leaving the city, and therefore will be with the local team next year. The others will sign before the end of the present year.
 The past season was the most prosper ous in the history of base ball in the South. The same clubs that began the season closed 1t last Wednesday and with possibly two exceptions each came out with balance on the good side of the ledger.
 The local association, 1t is understood, broke even on the season, although 1t is reliably stated that Sam Mills left here the middle of July with S5000 to the good.

TWO NEGROES KILLED. Bodies Were Mangied In Collision
 With L. 6 N. Train.

Montgomery, September 30.--(Special.)- As result of collision between fast train on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and two-horse wagon this morning two negro men. Mack and John Williams, were fearfully mangied. The two negroes had been in the city on busi- ness and were returning home. About two miles out they were crossing the Louisville and Nashville tracks when the south-bound passenger train dashed upon and killed them. The negroes rode in a wagon drawn by two mules. The wagon was torn into spiinters and one of the mules was instantly killed.
 The bodies of the victims of the acci- dent were horribly mangled. Mack Will Hams was dragged along the track about two hundred yards. while his son John was caught in the pilot of the engine and literally torn to pieces.

STREET CAR STRIKE.
No Cars Are Running In Pensacola.
 Bitter Feeling.

Pensacola, Fla, September 3O.-The street car strike is still on. No cars have been run since g o'clock yesterday morning. The motormen and conductors are organized under a charter from the Knights of Labor, but today fourteen of them applied for a charter from the Amalgamated Association of Street Car Workers who are affiliated withthe Amer ican Federation of Labor and with the local Central Trades Council organiza- tions of union men. The new organiza- ton has signed a contract with the of ficials of the Electric Terminal Railroad to run the cars just as soon as they get their charter which may possibly be to- morrow This action has caused bitter feeling and the Knights of Laoor say they will fight the new organization.

At Chicago.

Chicago, September 30-Jockey Knight took a nap on Six Shooter in the Oak Park handicap at Harlem this afternoon and before awakened his mount was beaten by Silurian by the narrow margin of a head It was a clear case of over confidence on the part of Knight which cost $1065, the value of the purse. to the winner.
 Six Shooter was the favorite with Leo Newell second choice while Silurian and Brutal were reckoned as outsiders at to l and 10 to 1 respectively.
 Hargis, in the second race, made the new track record of 52 2-5 seconds for four and one-half furlongs as against 0:54 flat. This good time was made after a trying delay of twenty-one minutes at the post which was due to the efforts of the jockey to beat the barrier. As a result of this work several good-sized fines were assessed. Weather fine; track fast.

Batyah and Trump were off running in their re- spective races and each won easily at long odds. The Parkville handicap was the only fixture decided and the poor start in this race also scored the winner McAddie. Chuctanunda, the favorite, was hatfooted at the start and he could not overcome this handicap and finished far back.

Male Vote-Expensive in Campaign
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Topeka. Kan. Jan. II. The WON
en- of Kansas who believe they are en-
titled to the ballot in municipal af-
fairs are coming to Topeka to fight
the bill to take away their rights. B
H. Butler of Kansas City, Kan, is the
author of the bill to repeal the law
giving women of Kansas the ballot in
city and school elections. The town OF
Beattle in Marshall county is officed
by women, from mayor down. These
officials have telegraphed Mrs. Anna
Diggs that they are coming to aid in
the defeat of the repeating act
The author of the bill told the Sun
correspondent tonight that the woman
vote in Kansas City, Kan, is the most
corrupting influence in municipal pol
itics.
81 don't mean that the women are
corrupt" he said. but the manipula-
tor is corrupt and the woman vote is
easily manipulated. Party organiza-
ton is not SO much to change votes
as it is to get out the vote of the party.
Men are often absent from home, but
the women are generally there. A
party toll taker finds out where the
women reside whose views are in ac-
cord with the party. Later a party
worker calls to prevail on women to
register. Free carriages are sent for
their conveyance. When election day
comes the women dress up and wait
for a carriage to take them to the polls.
All of this costs money, and the thing
is becoming more expensive every year.
l believe this legislature will wipe the
law off the statutes"
Representative Butler did not men
ton the fact that in later years the col
ored women of the cities of Kansas
absolutely refuse to register and vote
unless they are hauled to the registra-
ton office and polling places in car
riages. In Topeka scores of them
have stopped from the washtub or
ironing table into carriages and been
driven to thep olling places by ward
workers.

HER REIGN, A BACK
WARD AND FORWARD GLANCE

While it is not likely that any start
ling change will take place immediate
ly upon the death of Victoria, never
theless such an event will within few
years have it's effect upon the course
of European affairs.
America is used to regarding the
queen as if she were mere figurehead
in the government of the empire.
Jokes are cracked about the queens
speech from the throne at the opening
of parliament, which is written and
delivered by others than her majesty.
We are wont to smile incredulously
at the notion of the queen proroguing
parliament, and to belittle all that the
queen does in her capacity of monarch.
But the fact is that Victoria has had
a very sure and determining influence
on many great movements in the per-
iod of her reign, sixty-four years, and
she has been far from figurehead or
a mere symbol of a departed regime.
There is a pretty story told of the
queens accession to the throne upon
the death of her uncle, William w.
The ministers came to her home at
o'clock in the morning, and insisted
upon seeing her in order that they
might convey the news of her access
ion. The maids demurred to the in
sistence of the ministers, saying that
she could not be awakened, but at last
the word was carried to the young
girl-only eighteen she was-and in a
moment she appeared in her night
dress, a shawl about her shoulders. her
hair tumbling in a loose mass, slip
pers on her feet, tears filling her eyes,
but perfectly cool and collected. The
story was repeated by one of the min
listers afterwards, as indicating the
controlling characteristics of the
queens character, alertness and per-
feet self control. At eleven o'clock
the girl queen met all the ministry OF
state, and went through a most trying
ordeal with firm grace that won the
hearts and minds of all with whom
she came in contact.
Victoria's reign has been one of the
longest in the history of the world.
Probably it has not been exceeded
since Old Testament times. Sixty four
years is a long life time, yet since
1887 this wonderful woman has held
sway over the destinies of a large part
of the world, ruling in very truth be-
cause she won and held the passion
ate love of her subjects and the deep
respect of all the world. Her reign
has been characterized by the exer-
else of tolerance and the earnest en-
deavor to aid the development of the
higher life of the empire, and the rails
