READY COOKED FOOD.
A Great Convenience for Housekeep-

Two young ladies in certain city are
employed down town and rent a small
nat, where they 10 light housekeeping.
Frequently they are invited out even
ings, and the subject of meals is puz-
zler
OF late they have solved the problem
by keeping some nice rich milk or
cream convenient and a package of dry
crisp Grape-Nuts nearby.
In thirty seconds the meal is ready
and it is most fascinating meal, too,
for the creamy taste blends with the
peculiar delicate sweet of the grape su-
gar in the Grape-Nuts, producing a
ver-to-be-forgotten flavor. The sus-
tanning power of the food is sufficient
to keep one well nourished even when
small amount is used.

 WINS HOT CAME
Defeated Chattanooga Basket
 ball Team After Hard Fight
THE SCORE WAS 21 TO 13
This Is the Fifth Victory of the 5ir- mingham Boys This Season and Practically Assures Them of
 Southern Championship.

Chattanooga, March 22.-(Special)-Bir- mingham won the championship basket ball game tonight by a score of H to 13. It was a hard-fought contest from the beginning, and about two minutes before the end of the game, Chattanooga, by punching several goals, ran things up to 13. Birmingham at that time had 16 points and excitement was at the highest pitch.
 Birmingham pulled together, however, and Ferguson and Warren made points during the last minute. Birmingham's s team work weakened by Deans absence, but Jones, who took his place, played an excellent game Ferguson made 12 points, Warren 5. all of which were foul goals. Mccall and Jones made ? points each. Birmingham made fouls.
 For Chattanooga, McQuade made points, of which were foul goals; Dewes and Smith ?. They. committed fouls.
 The players as they opposed each other as follows: Huey and McQuade, Ferguson and Waterhouse Jones and Smith, War ren and Martin, Mccall and Hewes.
 This is the fifth victory Birmingham has won this year, and is practically sure of the southern championship, though it is still possible for Chattanooga to tie Birmingham for first place.

HERE'S THE LIMIT.
Startling Scene of Play in Which
 Payne Moore Will Appear.

N. Y. Special Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 An anxious American public is to have the opportunity of seeing Payne Moore, A deal has practically been closed where by Mrs. Moore will appear in this coun- try next season as a star. The manag- CTS rely upon the third act of the lurid melodrama to score it's success. In this act Mrs. Moore, who assumes the role of an adventures, will enact nearly as possible the alleged badger game, of which the late George c. Mahon com plained in court.
 To accomplish this the authors have ar- ranged a disrobing scene which, they think, will attract the male populace to the performance in crowds. The scene is built somewhat along new lines, for, in- stead of showing Mrs. Moore in the dis robing act before the audience, the lat ter is permitted to see only her refec- tion in a mirror. In this act the adven- turess is represented as waiting for her stage victim. To while the time away she decides to take bath. Her maid, im- personated by Louise Beauton prepares the bath and the adventures retires to an inner room. Splashing of water carries out the effect, while the maid holds the center of the stage with few wise re- marks.
 At this juncture a messenger boy enters with telegram for the adventuress. The latter enters behind a screen and reaches over the top of it, displaying an expan- sion of bare shoulders, and receives the telegram. It announces the arrival of her victim on the next train. She then has, tily dresses, but in doing so stands in such a position that her actions are vis- ible in the mirror. The victim arrives and the plot is carried on in a highly sem sational manner.

Clifford Lanier in Modern Culture Maga-

 Lanier reads all that falls in his way, and writes many letters to home and friends. His friendships are full of ar- dor and devotion. He is full of life and activity, yet spends many an hour prac- ticing to acquire the wonderful execution on the flute, which afterwards makes him worthy to be called the most sympa- thetic amateur fiute-player then living. He translates German and learns a writ ing Qf not a fluent spealSing) acquaint- ance with the Teuton language. Thus the year passes. and the commands return home to re-enlist for the war till final victory or defeat.
 In 1862 Lanier and young brother, to whom he is tenderly attached. are again in camp, first at Wilmington then near Petersburg Hopson, Emmell and the two Laniers spent every leisure half hour making music on flutes and guitars; their tent is popular for comrades. and they are welcome to many home in feast. These four are transferred from the in" fantry service to the corps of signal men, and the joke Is passed up the line of flags and torlhes: Why were Lanier and Hop son promoted from the infantry to mount ed signal corps?" and the answer flies, with smile and chuckle: Because these fellows can toot he ffute."

 When at Lord Lansdowne's request Sir Charles Scott, British ambassador to Russia asked for a copy of the actual draft of the Manchur1an convention, Count Lamsdorff angrily and peremptor- fly refused to give one. adding that he had already offered a full and sufficient explanation.

ADVANCES IN LOCOMOTIVES.
They Have More Energy Than Form
 erly and Can Haul Heavier Trains.

Holland. in Philadelphia Press
 Within two or three years some very important improvements and advances in the science of railway constructor and op- eration, and especially in locomotive con- struction, have been made. They are now building locomotives capable of getting up and maintaining steam with an energy powerful enough to haul at a good rate of speed trains three or four times as long and much heavier laden than were the standard trains of a. few years ago. These locomotives are also powerful enough to beat any record made by the famous train 1899" of the New York Central Rail way, so that within ten years of the con- struction of the famous '999'' it has be- come a second rate engine and is to be supplanted by the new type.
 Stiff steel rails of the kind that former ly were deemed impra cticable, the sup planting of wooden bridges by the best type of steel bridges, recently invented apparatus which makes better steaming and the maintenance of high energy in locomotive possible, are to be illustrated in a change with respect to the train which was put on at MT Webb's sugges- tion ten years ago to run the IA miles be- tween New York and Buffalo between S:30 in the morning and 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
 The new engines make it possible to make of this a five-car train instead of a four-car train. Every expert mechanical engineer. as well as every skilled locomo- tive driver, knows well enough what 1t means to add one fully occupied passen- ger car to a train which already requires the highest energy of which a locomotive is capable in order to make schedule time. Schedule time could not have been made with the five-car train hauled by any of the locomotives of the older type.
 The new locomotives, it has been dem onstrated, will not only haul a five-car train, but will probably do it more eco- nomically, therefore making possible a considerable increase in the profits gained by running a train of this kind.

MUCH RIGffHr
 IN MARSEILLS All of the Trades Sympathize
 With the Strikers. SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED Order Was Issued for General Strike and This Increased the Gravity of the Situation-Streets arS

SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED

Marseilles, March 22.-The men em- ployed on the street car lines in this city struck today and only a few cars are running. An attempt was made by the strikers to prevent the starting of any cars, but after a few fights the strikers were dispersed by the police.
 A few street cars are running today un- der the protection of policemen. The strikers are very much excited. They at tackled one car and cut the electric wires. A fight ensued and detachment of mounted gendarmes charged and dispers- ed the rioters.
 During the scrfmmage a soda water siphon was thrown at the head of lieu tenant of gendarmes and knocked him unconscious from his horse.
 The gendarmes, in seeking to carry off the lieutenant, were assailed by volley of stones and bottles and were obliged. to fire their revolvers in the air. The gen darmes then charged again and cleared the streets.
 Late this afternoon the strikers at tackled and wrecked two street cars on the Cannebiere. The engineer and conduc- tor were roughly handled. A detachment of gendarmes and hussars succeeded in rescuing the engineer and conductor amid the hooting and stone throwing of the crowd.
 Gravity Increased.
 Yesterdays decision of the council or the labor union and the labor exchange in favor of a general strike and their is- suance of an invitation to all unions to cease work has increased the gravity of the situation. The cabinet workers, the locksmiths the engineers, the caulkers' the oil workers, the millers and the pa- kers' unions have either struck alreauy or will do shortly.
 A corps of military bakers from the neighboring garrisons is being organized to replace the bakers on strike. The Mayor of Marseilles has convoked meeting of deputies, general councillors and municipal councillors in the Marseilles town hall tomorrow to consider the Sit uation.
 Bodies of turner's and filters proceeded to a number of engineering works and persuaded the employees to abandon their duties Three establishments were forced to close.
 The society for the defense of commer- cial interests has appealed to the pre- mier, M. Waldeck- and the minister of commerce, M. Millerand, to use their personal and official influence to bring to an end the present reign of terror
 It appears that during the afternoon rioting the gendarmes fired not only in the air, but into the crowd A child was wounded in the shoulder, and a number of rioters were also wounded. The dis orders were due principally to bands of roughs having nothing in common with the strikers, and these were responsible for the stoning and pillaging of shops.

AN ENTERPRISING
 THREE-yEAR-OLO. Little Step-Son of Dr. Dedman Causes Much Anxiety.
EVENT TO LOOK FOR A JOB
Left Home at 1o:so O'Clock Yesterday Morning With Lunch Basket On His Arm and Was Absent
 Seven Hours.

With lunch basket on his arm and : firm set determination to go out into the world and win his way. Whitney Ridley, the little 3-year-old step-son of pr. James E. Dedman left the home of his parents at 1osO o'clock yesterday morning, and caused them much anxiety until he was found seven hours later trudging along South Eighteenth street, still in search of work.
 Dr. Dedman lives at 1920 Twelfth ave- nue, South, and early yesterday morning the little fellow secured lunch basket, into which he placed a. few sweetmeats, and left the house without the knowledge of his mother, who was busily engaged with her duties. A number of workmen who were employed near by noticed the little fellow as he came out of the gate, and jokingly asked him where he was go- ing, and were told by the diminutive but enterprising little seeker after wealth that he was going out to hunt job.
 Some hours later the child was missed from his home, and a search of the neighborhood failed to disclose any trace
 
 of him other than that he was seen leav- ing his home by the workmen, to whom he told his plans.
 pr. and Mrs. Dedman were greatly con- cerned lest the little fellow had met with harm, and at once notified the police. An officer was detailed upon the case. while he parents and number of friends be- an to SCOUT the city in search of the ehild.
 About 5:3O o'clock in the afternoon one of the searching party came upon the bright little youngster trudging along Eighteenth street near Avenue E. and when asked where he was going, prompt lv replied that he was going to work.
