REQUIRED TEN INNINGS
FOR NASHVILLE TO BEAT THE
LOCALS.
Game Was Fast and Highly Enjoy
able-Fisher Says His Present
Intentions are That He Will
Manage Nashville Again.

Bright and early yesterday morning
there fell out of one of the Pullmans on
the train from New Orleans one Newt
Fisher and healthy looking athletic
bunch of youngsters.
The aggregation composed the Fisher
men," the famous band Of ball tossers
who have again landed the penant in the
championship race of the Southern
League. Their season being over they
stopped over in Montgomery to play a
series of three games with the fast SEMI
professional team here. This season has
been a record breaker in the annals of
baseball all over the country, and in the
South 1T has been especially so-in fact
the Southern League during the season
just closed has been just about the fastest
minor league in existence. While Mont.
gomeryians have not had the pleasure OF
seeing any of the league games yet the
names of the members of the champion
Nashville team are familiar, and 1t was
with keen anticipation that an unusually
good September crowd hurried out to the
ball grounds to see the first game OF the
series If the Nashville bunch thought
that they had the game on velvet they
were soon undeceiVed, for 1t took ten
innings of fast baseball for them to land.
tilTs box work of course helped the
locals. but by the same token he was
backed up in better shape than the
score shows. There were two plays
made by the locals that were alone worth
the journey out to the ball park-one
was magnificent stop and quick re-
covery by O'Brien and the other was
the same kind of play by Creekmore,
the runner being thrown out at first In
both instances. Wallace and O'Brien
led the hitting for the locals each get
ting three hits out of five times up and
each getting a hree-bagger.
1t was a treat to watch the Nashville
crowd handle themselves. but the feature
of the afternoon was the work OF Abb
batchia at second and Lowney at short
for Nashville. Abbattichio is easily the
star second baseman of the Southern
Leagueand in batting he leads the league
in fact he is the LaJoie of the Southern
League. He has been sold to the Bos-
ton National League team and will play
In the effete East next summer. Lowney
had four assists and four putouts with
out an error while Abbatchio had four
assists and four put outs with only one
error. Lem Bailey fielded his position In
his usual aggressive style and pitched the
old time baseball that has so often won
the hearts of the lovers of the National
game in Montgomery. In fact the game
was highly enjoyable and todays game
promises to be a repetition Of yesterday 8
success:

PLUNGER GATES
Could Not Get Rooms at Clarldge's
Hotel in London.

London Telegram
Claridges hotel the home of British
aristocracy and American millionaires,
has barred the doors of it's palatial es-
tabishment in Brook Street against
John w. Gates. In the summer of 1900,
when plunging on the English race
course. Gates habits were of such a char
acter as to induce the management of
Claridge's to enter him on it's permanent
list of undesirables. Upon his arrival in
London last week Mr.. Gates found that
he could not engage his former extensive
suite of apartments in Claridge's and was
compelled to take rooms at the more hos
pitabIe and less particular Carlton hotei
in Pail Mall.
Speaking to a correspondent the mana
ger of Clardge's said: "A few weeks
ago some one showed us an editorial In
a Chicago newspaper describing Mr..
Gates as the most vulgar of American
mllionaires The writer must have
overheard the remark in QUE hotel. for
that was the name he earned for himself
here After few months experience
of his style of living we were compelled
to intimate to him that profane language
and reckless cxpectoration in an English
hotel frequcnted by well bred people was
intolerabe even In man able to write
checks of eight figures and lose a for
tune daily in stocks horses ana carus.
Gates's presence was really more obJec-
tionabIe to his countrymen than to any
one else.
Several Americans declared their un-
Willingness to stay under the same roof
with him and we frequently told our
European patrons not to judge American
men of wealth by Gates's standard whose
fortune could not procure him night
lodging at this hotel
CIaridge's is the most exclusive hotel
in the world. No persons are admitted
not personally known to the management
or recommended by former guests. Its
prices are prohihitve. Its register never
lacks the names of princes dukes, raJahs
and representatives of the richest Ameri-
can families. Mr.. Yerkes has lived there
since he came to London. The British
Government entertained the crown
prince Of Japan at Claridge's during the
coronation of King Edward, the royal
suite costing Co guineas (SS3D a day.

against the paving assessment We're nled
OF these protests 1l3 were filed by the
tax payers who made common cause with
L. Gardner Foster when he successfully
attacked the old paving ordinance.
While the Council was called to meet
at noon the Aldermen were slow In as
sembling and 1t was nearly l o'clock
when President Fleming called the meet

The report of the special Board of As
SCISSORS composed of the City Attorney.

laid before the Council. The report in
cluded every amount which the board
deemed proper should be assessed against
property owners of Montgomery whose
property abutted upon paved or grav-
eled street, which was affected by the
recent Supreme Court decision.
AS to the assessment the special board
reported that their work had been done
under the authority of an ordinance
adopted September l. The board further
reported that the assessment in no case
exceeded one-half the cost of the con-
struction of the paving in front of the
property and the expense of laying down
the same and they did not in any case ex-
coed mere than one-fourth the cost of
the Improvement in front of the proper

At the instigation OF the treasury in
1889 the select committee of the House
of Lords Offices dismissed the house
keeper, who got $1,0O9 a year and hous
and appointed a housemaid, who Slept
ont" and received $50 week. But it
was found that she was required to be
on the premises early and late, and a
room was found for her and furnished
by the Board of Works.
Then one day the Board of Works went
in and seized the furniture, and the
principal house maid had to provide her
own tables and chars. The Lord Great
Cha nberlain submitted that this arrange
mant was unfair to the ousemaid, ami
suggested an increase of wages.
The select committee on the House Of
Lords Offices has now instructed the
clerk of Pariaments to write again to
the office of works and demand that the
furniture BE- restored; otherwise the Lord
Great Chamberlain would take steps to
have tho rooms suitably furnished.

The Impoverished Russian Peas
antry.
September Pilgrim.

September Pilgrim
Within thirty-ive years, it is cstab-
lished that the Russian peasantry has lost
no less than IS per cent. of it's wealth.
The peasantry has become poorer by
that percentage, losing both In food pro-
duction and in number of cattle and
horses owned; and falling into debt too
in a much larger ratio. But the inVes-
tigation which proved this fact comprised
the whole of European Russia, including
Poland, the Baltic Provinces and certain
governments in the north and central
Industrial regions where the people have
improved their material position. The
material progress in these districts has
been set off against the impoverishment
which has been going on elsewhere; and
if the purely agricultural provinces are
taken alone the statistics of economic
decline become not merely threatening
but APPALLING 1t is in the central blacE-
earth provinces famed all over the
world for their fertility and productive
ness, that the worst decline has taken
place. Here the people have lost nearly
half their wealth since the emancipation
Of the serfs. The actual decrease in the
food production of the peasantry of this
vast and thickly peopled district which
extends the whole way across Russia.
amounts to no less than a per cent; and
such has been the economic exhaustion
that not only has the normal increase IN
the population regularly declined, but
there is now no increase whatever,

The House of Lords Having a Strug-

New York Times.
The principal housemaid of the Hous-
of Lords is the subject of a parliament
airy paper, which gives an account of
how the Lord Great Chamberlain cham
pioned her interests against the parsi-
monious predictions Of the Treasury
and the Board of Works
1t is shown that the select committee
on the House of Lords Offices had their
attention called by the clerk of the
Parliaments TO a correspondence with
the office of wo.ks and the treasury on
the subject of furnishing the rooms oc-
cupied by the principal housemaid, from
which it appeared that the treasury had
refused to provide furniture on the groun /
that the house in 1899 recommended the
abolition OF the post of resident house
keeper and the substitution for her of 4.
nonresident principal housemaid, and
had expressed their approval of that
recommendation as icing in accordan1 "a
with the practice adopted generally
throughout the public buildings of abol-
Ishing wherever possible residential
