GAMES TODAY.
Nashville at Birmingham.
Atlanta at Chattanooga.

Chattanooga, August 20.-(SpeciaD-
Chattanooga won again today, making it
three straights from Birmingham. The
game was one of the most peculiar ever
played on the home grounds and was
replete with everything but good ball
playing. What little of the latter did
appear was to the credit OF the Noun
tanners. The visitors started out as If
they really intended TO win another game.
but they fell to quarrelling among them
selves in the fourth inning and their
chances were all gone.
The finest and prettiest play seen on
the grounds this season was a circus
catch by w. Smith in deep right center
for Birmingham. This occurred In the
fifth inning with one man out and two
on bases Wordsworth hit line drive
for the right center fence. w Smith
made great run after 1t but 1t was pass
ing over his head. He jumped high in
the air, threw up his gloved hand and
came down with the ball.
Birmingham went TO the bat first and
faced Ely. He pitched to Lawler, Will
helm and w. Smith and then gave way to
Hopkins, who finished the game. Lawler
was on second and W. Smith on first the
former having hit safe and the latter
drawing base on halls, when the change
was made.
Lavender Hit for Two Bases.
Lavender got a two-base hit and Brown
a single, scoring two men. In the third
inning the Coal Barons again took upon
themselves the contract to hit hard and
| gathered in three runs Lavender drew
a pass and Brown got his second hit out
of two times up before anyone was out
Hutton attempted to sacrifice but popped
a little fly to Hopkins. DIESEL hit safe
to left center and Campbell followed with
a long drive to right field fence for two
bases, scoring Lavender Brown and Del
sci. Hard hitting earned two of these
| runs
Chattanooga began the run getting for
themselves in the first inning When
| Campbell put them over the Mountaineers
| hit them all over the lot, getting three
safe ones one being a three-base hit to
right field by Dusty Miller. When the
side was finally retired four runs were
| to the credit Of the locals. Wordsworth
got a base on balls and Brennan neatly
sacrificed him TO second. Miller and
| Durrett again drew passes, filing the
bases with one out.
Campbell Threw Wild.
| In attempting to catch Durrett off first
| Campbell threw wild, the ball going over
| to the fence, Miller and Wordsworth
scored. In the fifth inning Campbell
again failed to locate the plate and hit
the first two men up. Hopkins sacrificed
| himself to advance them both Moles-
worth drove a line fly to right center.
| Brennan hit safe for three bases, scoring
the two runners and Miller sent him over
| the plate with a drive TO center field
/ fence for three sacks. Durret made the
third out. leaving Miller on third base.
As an agreement had been made before
the game for the calling Of the game In
time TO allow the visitors 20 catch a
train. Umpire Keefe called time after the
first half Of the sixth inning.

Control Of the Next CONGRESS.

Chairman Babcock of the republi-
can congressional committee has put
out an estimate that calls for repub-
lican majority in the next house Of
twenty-five as against forty-seven in
the present house. This is quite
concession, but even this concession
is full of doubts and difficulties. It is
not even conservative, as Mr.. Bah
cock says 1t is. For example, he puts
down three Kentucky districts in the
republican column, and all close OBJ
servers in that state say the republic
cans will carry the mountain district
alone. Mr.. Babcock further says the
democrats of Maryland can carry but
two districts; the democrats of that
state say they will carry four, and
that Messrs. Mudd and Pearce are the
only republicans who will be voted
back to seats. We need not extend
the list A recent democratic esti-
mate, based on the latest and best
information, gives the house to the
democrats by thirty-tiye majority, as
follows:

CARVING Pistols.

within the past ten years much has
been written in condemnation of the pis-
toll carrying habit but pistols are as COM
mon as ever" said a good citizen. 1.-THE
many cases of bloodshed recently should
certainly arouse public sentiment and
start an organized movement on the part
of law abiding men that would put a stop
to the pistol habit, and thereby reduce

In a city of Blrmingham's pretentions
it is too bad that there should be such a
reckless disregard of human life. 1t is
indeed shocking and something must be
done, and done at once, toward reform.
There are forty or fifty churches with
white congregations in this community
and these churches are centers of great
influence. Ministers of religion could en-
gage in no better work than to take up
this matter of men and boys carrying
deadly weapons and organize crusade

Damminq the Nile at AssOnan.

The great dam at Assonan, placed
In a rocky defile of the river is nearly
completed. 1t rises up 90 feet high
above the river, is a mile and half
long from bank to bank, and it is as
wide at the top as the ordinary street.
. This dam will create an up-river mar
row lake 144 miles long. The i'm
pounded waters will weigh billion
tons. There is not in the world a
match for It, and our own irrigation
works in the far west show nothing
that approaches it.
This great irrigation dam has 1870
sluices or doors. through which 900,-
BOO tons Of water can pass a minute,
and it is estimated that this water
will double the cultivatable area Of
Egypt Heretofore only the lands
that were annually overlooked have
been cultivated, but hereafter lands
reclaimed by irrigation will be
brought into use, and sugar or cotton
will be largely produced-presumably
sugar because the dam is north of the
cotton belt.
About 5000 fellaheen have been
employed on this great work nearly
five years, and the Egyptians are to
pay for it in thirty annual payments
of 100000 each, the first payment to
be made when the dam is completed.
The entire scheme is due to British
administration, British engineering
and British construction skill, a Lon.
don firm having been awarded the
contract in July, 1898.

not go to the Philippines or Cuba to
find an issue, for we have issues at
home that demand the attention OF
every patriot and every American.
The democrats have won two presi-
Dental campaigns on the tariff issue,
and the existing Dingley tariff is by
far the worse tariff the country has
ever known. It has filled the land
with trusts. It is all the issue the
democrats need. and upon it great
victory can be won in 1904.
True, the man has not yet appeared,
but the elections and the course of
events of two whole years may bring
out the man-not the man that Mr..
Whitney desires perhaps, but the man
that can carry the country on the
issue of tariff reform and trust regu-
lation. Mr. Whitney has simply en-
phasized the fact that he is out of
politics, for reasons personal to him
self, and that is all his recent remark
means.
