 The missing man has not been seen since Tuesday morning, and 1t Is feared that he was met somewhere on the road Tues day night and foully dealt with. At a late hour last night the police had been unable to find the slightest trace of him. A more rigid search will be instituted today.

 In speaking of tine production the New Orleans Picayune said;
 Judging from the plaudits of the au- dience that greeted "A Chinese Honey moon at the Tulane theatre last night, the musical comedy, which has had won derful runs in the north, is certain to be- come popular here. The piece furnishes two great, gorgeous scenes, which as- sume to represent the surroundings of high life in China, a dignified condition which is popuarzed by the introduction of an English tourist. his pretty bride and eight equally handsome bridesmaids They all promptly become entangled in a sensational affair which concerns every officer in his majestys court.

LAWYERS CONTEST
 OVER A D|G HE Friendly Law Suit to Have $42O0 Properly Divided BEFORE JUDGE FERGUSON Four Prominent Attorneys Involved, But 1t Is Claimed Lane and White
 Acted as a Firm and Should have Only Third.
BEFORE JUDGE FERGUSON

Judge C. w. Ferguson of the city court, heard an interesting case yesterday after noon in which a $i2O0 attorney fee is in- volved.
 It is simply a friendly suit that is being conducted among attorneys to see who the money really belongs to and as to the division that shall be made of it.
 Attorney J. T. Glover has the $42OO in his possession and A. O. Lane. Capt. F. s. White and Lee Marx are the other men interested. Mir Marx as matter of fact disposed of his interest in the feet to Carl Steiner and Mir Steiner is the active party in the suit.
 The style of the case is Carl Steiner vs. J. T. Glover, E. H. Cabaniss and z. T. Rudulph represent the interests of MT. Steiner and Selheimer represents MT. Glover.
 About four years ago there was case tried in the courts of this county the style of which was Wade Howell vs. the South- ern Railway company. A judgment was rendered for the plaintiff for $lO,OOO and the matter was carried to the supreme court where the judgment was affirmed
 MT Howell was represented in that suit by the firm of Lane & White. J. T. Glover and Lee Marx and the attorneys fee to be divided among them was $420O.
 The question that arose was whether the fee should be divided into thirds one third going to Lane & White as a firm and the other two-thirds to the other two at torneys, or whether it should be divided into fourths to be divided equally among the four attorneys interested
 Mir Lane and Captain White contended that they were acting as individuals ana not as a firm and that therefore each ot them was entitled to one-fourth and should not be given simply a third be- tween them.
 It was finally decided to bring friendly suit to see what disposition the court would say should be made of the fee. The litigation yesterday was the result of this decision and it is felt that the attor- neys interested will without further con- test abide by the decision Of the court.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Jefferson.

Herbert Kelcey in the title role of Sherlock Holmes" gave a peerless in- depreciation of that part last night at the Jefferson theater, and he was exeellently upheld by a company of more than or dinary ability, headed by Miss Effie Shannon as Alice Faulkner. The com pany does not contain weak actor.
 The scenery of the play is all good, and the electrical effects are weird and uncanny, fitting the plot of the play and carrying out the ideas of the great de- tective.
 Miss Lorena Atwood as Madge Lar rabee, has the hardest role among the women, and she makes an excellent vi- lain. Her part calls for much eoolness of manner at first which gradually fades into the hysterical as she is mastered by Sherlock Holmes David Davies. as Prof Moriety, the peer of criminals, de- serves more than passing mention.

marked a man who takes pleasure in
studying the percentages of the ball

That is the science of the curved ball.
Here is how 1t was explained to me the
other day by a youthful participant in
a very warm game at the DOT of the
Washington monument:
"Ah, OATS easy. All yer got to
know is dat de ball skates after it's

and de flying machine goes up. When

downward on a horizontal axis, It is
bound to drop. If it leaves his hand
revolving upward it follows it's nose
and rises. When the ball travels on a
vertical axis, revolving outward from
the batsman, the outward curve is the
result, and. similarly. on a vertical.
axis with an inward revolution. the
inshoot is caused. The out drop is the
result of the ball travelling on a slant
ing axis. with an outward revolution.
and so on. 80
