THE Three Musketeers" is attracting
capacity audiences TO Keith's theatre at
every performance this week, and the Al
bee company are adding to their long list
OF successes by their remarkably fine
performance This famous play is rarely
attempted by stock organizations, owing
to the fact that IT demands elaborate and
costly scenery and costumes and aF4 aug
mented cast, and only the superiority OF
these popular players and skilful stage
management makes II possible for so ex-
cellent a production of this pretentious
play 10 be given The stage hands at
Kelth's move with lightning-like rapid
ity, making the frequent changes OF seem
cry with commendable ease and quick
ness The ensembles also are especially
well-managed, and the production in It's
capital entirety reflects great credit upon
Mr. Malcolm williams. the versatile
leading man, who personally conducted
the rehearsals OF the play and who di-
rects every performance.
~ss
Mr. Williams makes or D'Artagnan. the
adventuresome rover brave. impetuous,
lovable youth, skilled as swordsmanshp
and the possessor OF a keen sense of hu-
mour. His condolences with Bobby. his
trusty sword. are highly amusing, and
elicit much laughter. Mr.. Williams makes
an ideal DArtagnan, envesting the ro-
mantle role with just the right touch OF
boyish fire and vigor The scene at the
card table with the Cardinal and Roche
fort is one OF the most impressive OF the
play. there being not a superfluous word
in the entire scene and X is played with
great strength and intelligence by the
three gentlemen.
One OF the brightest spots I'm the bril-
liant performance Of THE Three Muske-
teers." which the Albee Stock company
are presenting at Keith's this week is
Mr.. VIM. +. owens humorous portrayal
Of the genial, clustering Porthos. Seldom
has Mr. Owen appeared TO greater ad-
vantage than I'm this role. IN which his
rich. unctuous humor find full sway. II IL
a splendid piece of character drawing
and is quite worthy OF this sterling art
lists abilities
Miss Ida Adair the distinguished emo
tional actress, who rs playing a special
engagement with the Abee Stock com
pany at Keith's this week seems 10 have
captured the favor OF Keith patrons. II
the hearty applause which Is given her at
every performance is any evidence Prov
idence theatregoers are usually 10th to
demonstrate their appreciation Of a new
comer's abilities. although they are ever
ready to show their loyalty to an old ia
vorite. but Miss Adair's beautiful face
and figure, her gracefulness and charm
ing, magnetic personality and above ALL
her marvelously rich. sympathetic voice
has made her triumph n pronounced one.
and she has already won many warm ad-
mireds. although this is her FIRST pro-
fessional appearance In this city. Her
portrayal OF the. hapless Anne of Austria
ls dignifed yet sweetly womanly. and the
clever artistic well earns the hearty ap-
plause given her.

mingham, and every coach in the excur- sion train was filled to its utmost capac- ity. This was in the good old days ana now when baseball Is on much higher plane than then and the rivalry between the two towns is greater it can safely be said that the interest in baseball during the coming season will cause the gate re- eeipts of the Montgomery Birmingham games to overshadow those of any other two towns In the Southern League.
 The local fans all remember Harlow who did the backstop work for Ed Pe- ter's Selma team in 1901, and the follow ing from Natchez paper will be inter esting:
 ''Natchez will lose Harlow, the crack catcher of the Cotton States Lea gue champion of 1902. Harlow will go to Fort land, ore, and play with that team in the so-called Outlaw League. He. had been reserved last season and only signed contract with Natchez for this season at an advance In his salary. Some days Aago Pierce Childs, who was picked up by Natchez last season as much through sympathy as for his ability to play, wired to Natehez for Harlow's address, at tho same time making inquiry about the ad- dress of Pitcher Carlos Smith. who has been sold to New Orleans. A proposition of $175 a month was made Harlow, who refused. second offer of $20O a month, railroad transportation, sleeping car ac- commodations and $15 cash for meals. etc., was made, and Harlow accepted. He Is now here and has not said when he VIII leave for the Northwest"
 There will be a meeting of the Southern League Schedule Committee-Messrs Fisher, Finn and Powell-in Memphis next week to draw up the schedule Tor the season of 1903. These gentlemen nave been busy for some time working on the dates, and Monday Manager Fisher sald that the Committee had about agreed up on the first third of the campaign Each member has submitted to the other mem- bers of the committee schedule, all or which will be considered and then the regular schedule compiled. It has been definitely settled that the League season opens on April 27. Three schedules Will be prepared to be presented to the League meeting in February, when one VIII De selected. Manager Fisher Is drawing mp the eastern division schedule, while Finn Is looking after the western end.
 It is no longer any doubt but that the umpires for the Southern League the coming season will be: John P. keefe or Pittsburg, who acted in that capacity for a short time last season hereaoouts; Sandy McDermott, a former major Ieaguer whose home is in Zanesville, O.; R. W. Cox of Rock Island, H., and Frank Rim of Lancaster. Pa: Cox is an experienced hand at umpiring. having served with the T. I. I. League. Rim made a reputation last season for ren- dering decisions and handling players in the Eastern League.

CHATTANOOGA PLACATED:
 WILL ABANDON FIGHT
Montgomery Will Not Be Troubled by Tennessee City--InteTeSt as to Mobiles
 Intentions.

Montgomery will not be troubled by Chattanooga during 'the coming season. This piece of news was stated officially yesterday in a personal letter received here. The contention of Mims Hightow- CT. President of the Chattanooga Associa- tion. was that he had five-year fran- chtse and that as only two years had ex- pired he still had three years coming to him. It Is pretty certain that when they left the Birmingham meeting MT. High tower and the other Chattanooga repre- sentatiyes were fully determined to fight the case. resist the transfer of their play CTS and property to Montgomery and give Montgomery and the Southern League all the trouble and annoyance resultant from the fetid breath of the legal snars with which the League was so afflicted last summer. The letter alluded to stated un- equivocally that Mir. Hightower had aban- doned all idea of taking any legal steps and had bowed to the inevitable as laid down by the Southern League in the peace pact at Birmingham on the 18th of December. This finally disposes of this question. and leaves plain sailing for Montgomery and the League with the pos sible exception of Mobile.
 John Kelly. was at the Birmingham meeting on the 18th, with a bunch of le- gal papers in his inside pocket-incuding the Mobile franchise in the Southern League-blood in his eye and dire threats of vengeance emanating from his ruby
 
 memorable occasion was the dropping of Chattanooga, Savannah and Mobile. and Kelly. 1t Is understood claiming that this made him shy several big bundles of money, threatened the League with the business end of the Alabama courts. His plan was to attach the gate receipts of every game played in Montgomery or Bir- mingham. Whether Kelly still holds the frame of mind that turned him all the colors of the rainbow in Birmingham re- mains to he seen but 1t is a bit difficult to understand just what foundation he has for his legal contortion acts. If he fights Montgomery, however. he will nec1 essarily be compelled to fight Birming- ham. or vice versa. and the two Alabama cidedly interesting for Colonel Kelly and give him pretty swift run for his money.
 In the past the hottest rivalry known in Southern baseball has always been be- tween Montgomery and Birmingham. when the two towns were members of the League. This rivalry, while 1t h9s at times almost reached the boiling stage, has always been good-natured, and has been productive of more lasting benefit to the game of baseball in the South than all else besides. The bare mention of Montgomery-B Birmingham game In either town never failed to pack the grounds. If the local team had a series in Birming- ham special excursion trains were run from here to the Magic City by the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad and If the Birmingham team was playing in Mont gomery excursions were run from Bir-

ooRBETT STILL CHAMPION.
Austin Rice Gives Up After Fight
 ing Seventeen Rounds.

Hot Springs, Ark, Jan 14-"Young Corbett" the featherweight champion. was given the decision over Austin Rice of New London. Conn.,, tonight in the eighteenth round of what was to have been twenty-round contest. The fight was not to a finish. Iaicesetaying full eev- enteen rounds. Just before the end of this round Corbett landed a stiff left swing, glancing on the stomach and as a result Rice was taken sick during the re- nafnder of the fight. On the calling of time for the beginning of the eighteenth wound Battling Nelson. Rice's second, threw towel into the ring and Corbett was given the decision.
 As a whole the fight was disappointing. It had been freely predicted that Rice would not stay ten rounds and most of the betting was done on this basis. Tho feature of the contest was Rices foot work. But for his success in dodging Corbetts vicious lunges' he would have gone down and out early in the game.
