 It is about the top mark for cotton in this market. First bales have sold for more, but seldom if ever has a pound of cotton in a Selma warehouse been deem ed after calculation worth a baker, dozen of cents.

A LULU IN TRAVEL
CROWDS AT DEPOT FELL OFF
 YESTERDAY.
Montgomery Railroad Men With Rest of the World Will Take Vacation Today-News
 of Lines,

There was a decided Hull in the heavy Christmas rush at the Union railway station yesterday. Everybody stayed at home for the day of days-Christmas.
 The outgoing crowds on the suburban trains yesterday afternoon, while not as large as has been the case for the past few days, were pretty large, the beiated out-of-town shoppers making a rush to get back to their homes for today. There was comparatively little through travel yesterday, that being over until the re- turn tide sets in after the holidays.
 Today will be like Sunday with all of the local railroads. the uptown passenger and freight offices taking the entire day as holiday and only the necessary work ing force being kept on duty in the trans portation and other offices. The differ ent shops as g rule will be virtually shut down. only the roundhouse crews and machinists actually necessary to keep engines in shape to take out their runs being at work.
 "Sucker'' Lost a Trunk.

 According to The Chicago Railway Age the total railway mileage of the United States oN January i, 1904 will be 209,S55 miles, the present year having added 5,72S miles. This mileage takes into account all of the new track laid up to the last ten days of the year.
 Compared with 1902, the present year way construction. The construction re- ported was done on S80 lines and in thirty-nine States and Territories, includ- ing Alaska. Early in the year 1t was shown that there were $500 miles of rail- road under construction, but labor trou- bles and financial difficulties caused some of the work to be abandoned. A list of the number of miles and the number of lines constructed in the Southern and Southwestern States follow:

Catholic Church Renovated.

The new ornamentation of the Catho- lie Church of the Assumption has just been completed. and the interior of the building. like its exterior, is among the most admirable in the city. The walls have been freshly painted and since Fa- ther Madden's arrival four months ago. the altar has been tastefully decorated in white and gold
 The handsomest decorations of the church, however, are the statues which have been donated by members of the church. Chief among these is a crucfix of wonderful beauty placed above the altar. It was given by Mrs. P. J. Lough- lin in memory of the late Ed Loughlin. Miss Nellie Barclay has donated a stat ue of the Sacred Heart in memory of her father, and MT. and Mrs. Joseph Butt have given a statue of St. Joseph. A costly and beautiful Sanctuary lamp was presented by Mrs. Mary Groves.
 On tomorrow, Christmas day mass will be said at 10 o'clock by Rev. Father Madden. The usual Christmas music will be sung.

Selma is Prosperous.


 It is doubtful if the city of Selma has ever enjoyed a season more prosperous than have been the fall months of the present year. and Christmas week is a fine climax to the play of trade that merchants have seen this week.
 During most of the autumn business was steady. but very quiet, and though signs of prosperity were not far to seek the town had not worn the lively appear ance that is usually the outward and visible sign of exuberantly healthy trade conditions. The days of this week. how ever. have been remarkable because the streets have been crowded with local shoppers and rustic purchasers. all of whom were we'll pursed and eager to spend. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday may be written red on the calendar as the best that Selma has had in years.
 Much of the money in the county, of course. had come from the cotton crop which Is of ample proportions, and has been marketed at the best of prices.

Talented Dorothy Menpes.

Miss Dorothy Menpes. youngest
daughter of Mortimer Menpes, the
well-known artist. combines cleverness
with an energy that is surprising, for
though still in her teens, she has al
ready written five books, and has a
sixth in preparation, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger. They are all de-
lightfully illustrated by her father,
who is collaborating with her on a
book dealing with India. Father and
daughter were totable visitors to the
Delhi durbar, by the way. In addition
to literature Miss Dorothy Menpes
goes in for enameling, and designs
rings, clasps and necklaces, which she
carries out herself by the aid of fur
mace. She is in appearance the very
antithesis of what we call strong
minded" being very pretty, with
masses of hair, and posses ing an
absolutely unaffected manner. From
birth her surroundings have en- arts
tic. and she has travelled all over the
world. The camaraderie between
father and daughter is as delightful as
it is comparatively rare in these days
of restless femininity.

A collection is, of course, valued ac-

BASQUE GAME OF PELOTA.

The Basque game of "Pelota" has
become naturalized in Madrid-as for
that matter in all large Spanish cities.
believe an unsuccessful attempt was
once made to introduce it in San
Francisco a few years ago. But there
can be no doubt as to it's success in
Madrid. The game is kind of hand
ball, but is played with scoop-shaped
rattan rackets bound to the wrist
with thongs. The courts are about
600 feet long and 80 feet wide, divided
courts. There are two players on
side, called rojos and azules-reds and
blues. The ball is served against the
end wall, and the player on the oppo-
site side must return it. The points
are counted much as in tennis. But
otherwise the game is very different.
The ball is served with a velocity
which is astounding; player at the
back of the curb often sends it with
such violence that it rebounds from
the fronton or opposing wall to the
wall behind hm-something over 1000
feet. Occasionally the bali will strike
the corner of the court, in which case
it comes out among the bookmakers,
attendants and spectators on the
ground floor, the higher-priced seats
being above. When such a ball comes
out it is amusing to see the spectators
get out of the way-like lightning
clear lane appears among them,
through which Kisses the ball. At the
old Haight street baseball grounds in
San Francisco there would occasional
ly be a hot" ball, tipped off the bs.
on foul, fly into the club boxes, and
shake up the bondholders; but such a
ball was like floating tnlstledown COM
pared to the "hot" balls at the "Pelota"
fronton in Madrid.
Not only is the game exciting, but
the crowd itself makes an excited
scene. Spaniards are Torn gamblers,
and during the progress of the "Pelo-
ia" games there is a continuous roar
of betting. The bookmakers stand on
the floor of the court calling out the
odds, while their partners in the gal
leries above take the spectators bets
and toss them below in little rubber
balls, while the bookmakers return
the pool checks by tossing them back
There was some very neat catching
done-I saw no muffs. In Spain, at
bull-rings and similar places, much bus
mess is done ION the gy' by peddlers
of oranges, cigarets and matches.
| AS the game nears its end, the ex-
citement grows preatpr-aS one side
passes the other and then falls back,
the odds suddenly change. There was
no free fight the day we were there, al
though it sounded good deal like
riot. Evidently it was not always so
peaceful, as large placards on the
walls urged the spectators to be calm,
to respect the law, not to fight, and not
to attack he players.-Jerome A. Hart

Game of Sylphs.

For active young folks the game of
sylphs is the latest form of amuse-
ment. 1t is in reality electric bat
tledore and shuttlecock. The two
players hold a wand each, these wands
having been electrified by friction.
The shuttlecock is represented by a
butterfly made of collodion. The but
terfly is thrown into the air, and one
or other player approaches the tip of
his wand to the so-called sylph; the
Electrified wands repel the butterfly,
which skins away as the wand draws
near In this way the butterfly is
sent flying hither and thither without
being touched. A very good game
with proper rules, is made from this
idea.

Art in Pot Lids.

Amongst the fancies that have beer
developed by collectors of the present
day is one for the fancy lids of pots
that once contained potted meat, or
fish, or pomade. No measure of
antiquity, or quality, or material is
claimed for these, but collectors are
with justice able to claim for theIe
a certain connection with art
Very many of the articles that are
collected with pains and at not in
considerable cost barely escape the
charge of being grotesque. but large
proportion of the pot lids are repro
