Southern League will seriously resent the American League interfering with con
 tracts now In force between players and
 clubs. It is an open secret that the St.
 Louis club is figuring with several play CTS in the Southern League, and 1t Is
 said that two of them play on the New Orleans team. It Is not very probable that any of the players will go to the American League at this time of the sea- son. for if they should not make good they would very likely find themselves in a very bad fix after Jumping their con- tracts in the Southern League. Leahy. who played shortstop for Chattanooga last year. has signed wi,l Birmingham. Leahy was once an excellent player but last year he diG very poor work for the Mountnineers. However under a differ ent manager he may do much better work. Reltz. who was loaned by Nash vile to Atlanta, seems to be doing good work for the Pretzels now. However the Atlentans miss Hoffmeister. The of the local association should get another first class pitcher Dolan and Hopkins are all right, but an- other good twirler Is a necessity.

COOL FOOD. For Hot Days.

Better health comes with less meat and fat during the warm weather.
 By proper and pleasant diet you can prepare the body for summer and feel from ten to twenty degrees cooler than your neighbor.
 Grape-Nuts and cream. a little fruit and possibly a couple of soft boiled eggs. is sufficient for the breakfast An ordin- ary portion of Grape-Nuts contains suf- ficient nourshment to fully sustain the body until the monday meal; being a predigested food 1t does not overtax the stomach and contains none of the heat supplied by the heavy carbonaceous foods.
 Fully cooked at the factory by food experts, brings 1t to you ready to serve, and does away with the heat of cooking and the time necessary to prepare ordn- ary food and its crisp daintiness is pleasing to the palate of young or old.
 Many delicious recipes are found in each Grape-Nuts package. 80 that the form of eating this wholesome food can be changed to suit the user.
 These suggestions, If followed for ten days, will convince the most skeptical that cool body, an active brain and an energy hitherto unknown will prevail and the general lassitude peculiar to the warm weather will disappear

THE IRON AND STEEL
 INDUSTRY IN CANADA

MT. John L. Bittinger, the consul gen. eral of the United States In Canada sends to the state department at Washington report on the Iron and steel industy of the Dominion. which is full of interest, Extracts from the advance proof sheets issued by the department followi
 A country that has vast deposits of iron ore has a solid foundation for commercial aseendancy Few countries have more Iron ore than the Dominion of Canada It has also coal, and the immense value of these deposits has only been fully appre- clated within the last few years. Amer leans were really the first to realize the immense resources here. They have chs tered and joined capital with Canadians of wealth and organized the iron and steel industry, The works arc under the direction of Americans experienced in this line, and In two years the progress has been astoundingly rapid.
 Industrial Canada n publication issued monthly by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association gives much information con Canada It says;
 II one takeS map ana 0TaWS line from British Columbia on tho west To St. Johns, Newfoundland, on the east, the lien will run through four well devel oped beds of ore of large quantity and of excellent quality. all capable of being mined as cheaply as dirt. They are re- lated to the coal as follows:
 CD For British Columbia, coal beds exist in the United States not far from Seattle and in the Crows Nest, on the Canadian side.
 (2 On the northern borders of Lake Superior are large and pure beds, such as the Helen mine. They arc being utii- pany, at Midland, at the head of which is MT. Clergue. an American. The Cramp Ontario Steel Company, another Ameri- can company, will also utilize them in coke furnaces at Colingwood. which have a daily capacity of 25O tons each. Both these companies can obtain their coal at a freight cost of s197, or SIPS lower than the Pittsburg standard.
 (3) In the Ontario district exist ores of great promise, within reasonable dis tance of the United States coal fields. The government admits coke free of duty, which Is favorabel to the manu- facturer.
 Iron ore has been found on the Belch- CTS Islartls, the Sleepers, the Bakers Dozen and the King George Islands in Hudson Bay, off the coast of Ungava Some coal has also been found.

RaiAroad WorAA.

The Southern Railway Company will take possession of it's new acquisition, the Atlantic, Valdosta and Western Rail- road, July l. This will give the Southern Railway a direct line from Jacksonville to valdosta and 1t is believed that the Southern will extend that system to AL bany, which will give it a line through one of the richest cotton sections of the country.
 The Atlantic, Valdosta and Western Railway is considered one of the most valuable pieces of railroad property in the southern section of Georgia. The road is no miles in length and runs di- rect line from Valdosta to Jacksonville. Some time ago the present owners of the road made survey of a proposed route from Valdosta to Albany.
 The Cincinnati Times-Star of Saturday says: Members of the Chesapeake and Ohio passenger department journeyed to Norwood Friday night to bid farewell to MT. c. B. Ryan, the retiring assistant general passenger agent of the road and incidentally to present him with a token of their esteem in the shape of a large oak chest filled with silver table requi- sites and beautiful silver tea set. MT. T. A. Garrigan, southeastern passenger agent of the road, made the presentation speech Among the prominent officials of the road present were: MT. H. W. Full Ter general passenger agent; MT. J. D. Potts. who Is MT. Ryan's successor, and Western Passenger Agent Pope. Satur-

There are eighteen rolling mills and steel works 2 ipleted in Canada. or these. one macs steel in a special Bes- semer converter, one makes Tropenas steel, and four make open-hearth steel, while two standard Besscmer steel plants and one open-hearth steel plant are being built. The annual capaioty of all plants is: Standard, BeBscmer, Tropenas ana special Bessemer ingots and castings, 9o1, 400 gross tons; open-hearth ingots and castings, 537.00 gross tons; total ingots and castings s3s, 400 tons; rolled products, gs1. 800 tons
 The crowning opportunity Is in Nova Scotia where two strong companies the Dominion Iron and Steel Company and the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Com pany--haye been established with United States capital. The ore Is drawn not only from Nova Scotia, in close prox- lrnity to the coal. but Is also from the famous mines on Belle Island. The man. ufacturing Is done at Sydney, and 1t Is claimed tho cost of pig iron there is lower than anywhere else In the world. Compared with the Pittsburg cost 1t rep rescnts saving of S2, 455 per ton. There Is a further saving of g q ton freight for export sydney being an ocean port. liz iron can be made here for 3e c ton, steel blooms for less than s1o a ton and steel rails at about $12.
 Steel rails and heavy sections of struc- tural st eel form a large part of the Iron consumeG in Canada Up to a recent date every ton of material was imported from foreign sources now, the country Is be- ginning to export The new steel mills at Saut Ste. Marie are producing both steel rails and structural steel. At Syd- ney. steel rail mill Is in process of com struction. and steel billets and blooms are already being made. At New Glas- gow, Hamilton and Collingwood a sim liar expansion in other lines of steel Is taking place. In all of these places American capital is dominant.
 The production of pig iron increased from H,791 tons in 1894 to 244976 tons in 1901.
 Although the production for 1901 is about three times as large as that for the year previous, the building of new plants insures a much greater increase this year. Canada does not yet produce nearly enough for home wants, which are estimated at 800, 900 tons year.
 In the first eight months Of the present fiscal year Canada has exported 6S, 669 tons of pig iron, valued at $661 531-that Is to say. the exports for the first eight months show an increase of 463 per cent over last year In 1897 the value of Can adas total exports of iron and steel and manufactures of" was $1.379 195 in 1901, 8, ,717537. Nevertheless the total value of the import in this line in 1901 amount ed to $27,107,41s.
 The Dominion government grants bounties for the manufacture of iron and steel in Canada. The amount paid In bounties In 1901 was 1851, 25s.

Memphis. June 15.-(Special. )-Three thousand spectators attended the game here today and each one was presented with a neat pamphlet with the words thereon: Please don't cheer the players, and make as little noise as possible" The cause of the distribution of these circulars Is that Sunday baseball In Memphis is almost a thing of the past for this year at least. The reform ele- ment and neighbors in the vicinity of the grounds have complained and one reformst has notified the Memphis man ager that he will swear out warrants ing here in the future.
 The local and visiting rooters, the lat ter numbering about one hundred visit ing Elks from Birmingham, had no cause to make fuss during the game today. It was too one-sided and unin- teresting to draw forth the plaudits of either side. The Alabamians took the lead with two runs made in the sixth inning off Meekin. the old time New York pitcher, but just as they had sized up Meekin, Ehret was put in the game and the scoring stopped.
 Campbell Lost In the Sixth. Campbell pitched well till the sixth when eleven Memphians faced him and five scored assisted by three bases on balls, LaRocque's two bagger, singles by Williams, Lipe, Accorsini and Ehret and | Lauzon's juggle in right field. Another run was slugged out in the seventh in- I ming and two hits. a sacrifice and Uhlers
 huff let in two in the eighth. Blue and l F. Smith scored in the final inning after l reaching bases on errors and with the
 assistance of Dowies single and Leahy's l sacrifice.
 LaRocque. who was traded for Lauzon received a rousing reception. His hit brought in the first local runs. He also stole home while Campbell threw the ball to second to catch Williams. Lauzon rapped out a three-bagger. His error was a juggle of a hard hit ball from Lipe. The Birmingham team left for their home tonight Manager Haler released Brown to. Memphis, and says he is expecting new blood on his arrival in Birmingham. He planes Umpire Ghio partly for losing three straights here. Heller was fined and put out of the game today In the seventh inning by Ghio.

oay night Mir Ryan will be the guest of honor at a banquet of local railroad men He leaves for Portsmouth. Va, at noon Sunday over the Chesapeake and Ohio to assume his new duties as gen. eral passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line
 The Memphis News says: From pres ent prospects there will be little doing in the matter of indictments of the railroads on the charge of pooling recently made by the federal grand jury. District At torney George Randolph stated yester- day that he has received no intimation of action on the part of the local rail- road attorneys who are interested In the case, and he knows nothing about any arrangements made to take the matter up previous to the fall term of court ex- cept what has been received from Wash ington.
 It is the opinion of those interested in this city that the railroads will continue to do business this summer in the same manner as in the past regardless of the indictments returned by the grand jury. They claim they are guilty of no crim- inality in handling the cotton as they have done since 1899, and on these grounds will proceed as heretofore.
 A joint meeting of the Vicksburg Board of Trade and the Vicksburg Cotton Ex- change was held last Friday to take steps to confer with the Scaboard Air Line and other trunk roads now running through Georgia and Alabama. The Vicksburg, Canton and Birmingham line has been chartered and surveyed and the greater part of the right of way secured. It is also contemplated to urge the Vicks- burg and Hattiesburg road to build to Vicksburg. That line has also been sur veyed and the greater part of the right of way secured.

Memphis. June 15.-(SpeciaD-So far as the manager and directors of the local club know there Is nothing significant in the release of Catcher Brown to the Mem- phis club.
