MONTGOMERY WILL
PLAY BIRMINGHAM
BASKETBALL GAME AT ATHLETIC
CLUB TOMORROW NIGHT-Gos-
SIP ABOUT VARIOUS SOUTHERN
TEAMS AND PLAYERS.

Montgomery is coming up in full force
for the basket ball game which will be
played tomorrow night at the Athletic
club between the teams from that city
and Birmingham. A letter from VIII L.
Fry the physical director Of the Mont
gomery Y. M. c. A., says his team Is In
excellent condition, and they are pre-
pared to play the game of their life
against Birmingham. A number OF root
ers will accompany the team.
Their lineup will be as follows: Locke,
center; Paterson, right forward; Gallo
way left forward: Ivey, right guard, and
Crenshaw, left guard. The substitutes
will be Bartlett, Hood, Tisdale, Harmon
and Davis L. f. Woodruff and J. s. Hun
ter will be Montgomery's officials.
During the holidays Montgomery lost
two games to Howard college, but at that
time they had just organized and were
not playing their regular game. Howard
on the other hand was in excellent condi-
tion. Several of the Birmingham players
who have been In Montgomery recently
say their team has improved wonderfully
since the holiday season and will give
Birmingham hot game.
Chattanooga will come to Birmingham
next week to play the Athletic club. Bir-
mingham plays the return game in Chat
tanooga the last week in March.
Mooney school has already defeated
Chattanooga two games this season.
Sometime ago Atlanta was talking OF
putting out a basket ball team this year,
but the idea seems to have been aban-
doned.
The Selma team has not developed this
seasonal least so far as games with
other cities are concerned.
Howard college is the only college in the
state that has taken any interest in bas-
ket ball, but they bid fair to hold up Ala
bama's honors and win the intercollegiate
championship of the south. Auburn had
team two years ago, but have not at
tempted one since. Tuscaloosa has never
even tried the game.
Reserved seats will be sold at Stones
for tomorrow nights game between Mont
gomery and Birmingham.

1880 BILLS INTRODUCED.
More Than 1000 of Them Passed BY
the Fifty-seventh Congress.

Washington, March 4.-The number of
bills introduced during the Fifty-seventh
congress aggregated 17,5OO of which 1918
were reported and more than two thous-
and passed. The house calendar is clear
er at the close of this congress than it
ever has been before, only seventy-eight
bills remaining undisposed of. In the
Fifty-ifth congress 2214 bills were re-
ported and 1913 passed; in the Fiftysixth
congress 27S7 were reported and 22O4 pass
ed. The nearest approach TO the num-
Der of bills introduced in the Fifty
seventh congress was In the Fifty-sixth
congress, when 1889 were brought in
and the greatest number reported was in
the Forty-ninth congress, the aggregate
being 4181.
The number of private bills passed by
this congress have been exceedingly
large.
Fifteen members of the house died dur
ing the congress just closed, an unusual
ly large number.

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The Way Physicians Now Treat
Catarrh.


Physicians who formerly depended upon
inhalers, sprays and local washes or
ointments now use Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's because as one of the most promi-
nent stated these tablets contain in
pleasant, convenient form all of the real
ly efficient and reliable catarrh rene
dies, such as red gum, blood root and
Hydrastin.
They contain no cocaine or opiate $50
common in liquid catarrh medicines and
cough syrups) and they are given to little
children with entire safety and benefit.
DR.. j. j. Reitinger says: l suffered from
Catarrh In my head and throat every
winter and it would hang on clear into
summer, with stoppage of the nose and
irritation in the throat affecting my voice
so that l was continually clearing my
throat before 1 could speak plainly it
finally extended to the stomach causing
catarrh of the stomach.
l bought a fifty-cent box of Stuart
Catarrh Tablets at my druggists, car
ried them in my pocket and used them
regularly several times a day. and the
way in which they cleared my head and
throat and improved my hearing and
general health | consider little short of

ter and spring and know l am entirely
free from any catarrhal trouble what

Mrs. Jerome Ellison of Wheeling writes:
l suffered from catarrh nearly my whole
life and last winter my two children also
suffered from catarrhal colds and sore
throat so much they were out of school
large part of the winter. Mr.. brother
who was cured of catarrhal deafness by
using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets urged me
so much to try them that / sent to the
drug store and bought a package and l

done for me and my children. l always

Washington, March 4.-There are no 49,

last night in the conference on the naval

is thought at the navy department that
would consume deal of time the board
on construction will recommend a vessel
of the Massachusetts type with perhaps
five feet more free board, making her a

RICE WILL CASE HEARD.
Civil Side of Litigation Growing Out
of Patrick's Action.

New York, March 4.-The Rice will case
was argued before the appellate division
of the Supreme court today. 1t came be-
fore the court on appeal from the decis-
ion of Surrogate Fitzgerald last June, adj
hitting to probate the will of William
M. Rice, made on September 26, 1896 In
which he left his entire residuary estate
to the William M. Rice institute of Hous-
ton, Tex, and denying probate to al
legged will of Mr.. Rice bearing date of
June 80, 1900, in which Lawyer Albert
Patrick, who was convicted by Recorder
Golf of numbering Mr.. Rice, is made re-
siduary legatee.
This appeal brings up before the Appel
ate court the civil side of the litigation
growing out of Patrick's relations with
William M. Rice. Decision was reserved.
