knew what had happened he had been

To Miss Blanche Bates is assigned
the fat though difficult role Of Ciga-
rette-fat because of the unlimited OPP
portunities IT offers to an actress Of
ability, and difficult because Of It's
"many sldedness," Miss Bates was
more than equal to the task assigned
her, and IL Is safe TO say that as the
vivandiere, passionate though tender,
headstrong though tractable. vindictiye
though affectionate, fearless though
nervous, she has contributed TO the
stage one OF the best representations
seen IN New York In many year, II
is doubtful whether there Is in this

so much out Of this role. certain II is
that there Is none who could do more

 Chief Gerald objected to what the witness "believed" and the Alderman overruled the objection. Beaie said he believed he was in great danger.
 The Police Chief then said that If the Alderman ruled that the opinion oi c witness was competent testimony he (the ChieO would state 1t as his "beiief'' that the witness eBeaie) was not telling the truth.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Montgomery Players Much Interest ed In New Orleans Meeting.
 Standing of Local Men.

ed In New Orleans Meeting.
 Standing of Local Msn. \
 The members of the Montgomery Tennis and Golf Club have been very much interested the past week in the outcome of the Tournament held by the New Orleans Tennis Club In that city. While the number of visitors present was comparatively small. those wro were on hand were Al players, and made good showlngs, particularly Hunt of California, who succeeded in winning the championship singles. and Angler of Atlanta, who played up into the seml-fnals.
 It was rather unfortunate that Will Hams and Angler both of Atlanta, should have had to meet in the second Williams being defeated. for having won the club championship in Atlanta only a few days since. then defeating Angler, he would have made a strong bid for the finals. and the local play CTS are very much of the opinion that he would have won.
 Montgomery was not represented at New Orleans, owing to the illness of one of its strongest men, and the fact that having to recently rebuild new courts at Cloyerdale. the players were necessarily not up to their usual tourn- aroent form. However, the Montgom- cry men will put in some good hard practice and will have two strong teams at Atlanta on August 6,
 The Club ratings of players for the past week stands as follows:

 Dyspepsia is very common phase of summer catarrh. A remedy that will cure catarrh of one location will cure 1t anywhere. Peruna cures catarrh wher- eyer located. That it is prompt and permanent cure for catarrh of the stomach the above letters testify.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

naoinr at Riverside.

Riverside Park presents very lively appearance these days and one IS sur prised at the splendid condition ot the track, which has just been cafefully prepared for the races to take plaee July 4.
 MT. Fred c. Newell, still in charge, has under his care and training sucn good horses as Free S, owned by MT. ', B. Fiske; Jenks. owned ny MT. z. F. Jackson; Alabama, owned by Major smith of Pratyilie, and many others whose names are not so familiar al- though very promising.
 col. s. B. Trapp has three very prom ising colts and his speedy and royaliy hred young horse, India Wiikes, gives great promise of becoming sensa- tionai trotter in the near future.
 The races to be given on the Fourtn of July are sure to be very interesting as the horses entered are local horses and the fastest pacers in the city. Those entered in the free-for-ail pace are Butts Kohn, entered by Meyer Ger son: Jenks, entered by c. F, Jackson; Sunshine. entered by W. 2. Wenher: Rrookside. entered by West Walker; Alabama, entered by Major Smith,
