BOAT BUILT FOR SPEED COMMODORE EDWARDS TALKS
 OF HIS LAUNCH. He Says It Viii Run at a Speed of a Mile Minute For an Inde- finite Period-The Trial
 Failure.

cincinnati. March 24.-The trial of the Emerson launch. built for Commodore Edwards of the Royal Yacht Club in Can ada. was a failure here today owing f, the breaking of one of the p.op,.lers in the harbor
 To cross the ocean in two days. Is A result the inventor expects to ,hieye Win the new method of propulsion. The launch which is so feet long, is built much along the lnes of all launches of US size of today, hut possesses a newly developed motor that has thirty horse pro- polling power and weighs less than 60 pourds new arrangement of valve action Is supplied. enabling the engine to Hldke ZOoo revolutions a minute turning the screw 1.G00 revolutions a minute.
 MT Emerson says he soon will heein Ire construction of a vessel that v,iu bo built solely for speed and witt which he expects to make q mile a minute Such he claims. is the constructioa of his en- zine that this can be maintained for an indefinite period and will permit a vessel to cross the Atlantic in two days.
 The engine, ho says. can he fitted I'D in steamers of any size and while producing the height of speed will not jar the yes sel. Gas generatel from gasoline will be the motive power and the expenses of operating a yacht cruiser when fitted out with this new motor will be one-third that required today. Several years ago MT. Emerson constructed a launch with which he made forty-five miles an hour and easily ran away from the English torpedo boats that raced with him. His new engine. however. F" claims. is vast ly superior to that one.

She said she was not afraid to answer and said If that Is true this definition of the black and white woman has placed them on basis of political equality and If political equality implies social equality then the man, by disenfranchising both black and white women have laid the basis of social equality
 The convention will conclude tomorrow.

 The preamble to Alderman Ruxton's measure Is as follows:
 Whereas, it has become and Is the custom of owners, agents and managers of apartment houses. flats and ten ,ments to discriminate against and refuse to let or rent to parties of families in which there are children or infants. thereby discoura ging and initiating against what would he the natural and probable in crease to the population of Chicago. con trary to the injunction imposed upon our first parents upon their expulsion from the garden of Eden to multiply and re- plenish the earth and against the policy and purpose of our national administra- ton"

 morning her fathers body was found.
 She met her grandmother in the hall on the second floor on the morning that her papa was found dead. She did not think

BASEBALL MEETING YESTERDAY
 LOCAL ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED
Enthusiasm Was at High Pitch and Prospects are fO Brilliant SeaSOn---ChicagO Team
 Here Today.

The baseball enthusiasm that is running rampant in Montgomery just now was happily illustrated-and a Christy front. l ispiece edition de luxe the illustration was Dy the same token-at the inaugural
 meeting of the Montgomery Baseball As
 sociation yesterday. The capital stock
 was made $6OO0. cut up into blocks of shares at S25 a share. and say, the way
 that men fell over each other in their eag- erness to put their autographs on the books of subscription was caution. Rash
 indeed would have been the individual
 who would have dared hint at the fact
 that baseball fin Montgomery would be
 other than a glittering crescendo em-
 Dlazoned with the magic word Success |"
 The most stable foundation for the na- uonal game in Montgomery this summer was the spirit of supreme confidence that like balmy hints from the coming spring time permeated through that meeting yes tion Board of Directors was drawn up Today this board vii meet formally launch the new association with the cleo tion of a set of officers. and the baseball season or 1905 vii be on locally for keeps.
 Comiskey and his gang of White Sox. the Chicago Americans. will be in Mont gomery, on the northbound Louisville and Nashville train at 6:17 this evening.
 They will have tomorrow morning to get used to the local grounds. and they will probably find the fastest infeld that they ever went up against. Tomorrow. after iio'ii dRRTeSduOn Will nave try at them, followed tip by another game Friday. Friday night they leave for Bir- mingham where they get up against O'Brien's coal beavers Saturday after noon. Callahan and Comiskey seem to Ce getting litle punches of troubles of their own. the hdllowed names of Glea son and George Davis giving magnificent repre- sentation of the troubles"
 Gleason has for the past few days been working out with Jimmy Collinss gang Of American Leaguers from effete Ros- ton in Macon. but it is probable that he will reach Montgomery and play in the game tomorrow. As will be remembered the peace pact in Cincinnati awarded Da- wis to Comiskey and Delehanty to Wash ington. Delehanty. after breathing dire and awful threats of the dreadful things that he intended doing to certain misguid- ed people, has suddenly reached the con clusion that he had something on the in- terior of his head besides dodlebugs. This Altering through his toppiece Sunday he reported to the Washington club, and there is probability that George Davis will follow the man from Cooks-if he can get that Ned York vision out of his sun burned eyes-and report to Comiskey He will barely do that in the next few days however. and Montgomery fans will not have an opportunity of watching the stunts of the famous shortstop. probably the best advertised ball player in tho world, after LaJoie, Delehanty, keeler and McGraw.

STARTLED HIS HEARERS.
Dr. Lyman Abbott Propounds Some
 of His Religious Theories.

New York. March 24.-Rev Dr Lyman Abbott somewhat startled his hearers at Methodist Ministers meeting by pro- pounding some of the religious theories that he has ela borated in his book The Theology of an Evoluti0nist" !"
 The Bible, according to Mir Abbott. is merely q record of human religious expe- riences, T have a respect for the old theology" he said. "and today l cannot doubt that the change from the old to the new method of thinking in religion is important radical and revolutionary.
 The typical departure is the recogni- tion of what was once called the car penter theory of Gods creation of the world The belief of the religion that the earth was turned out as in a lathe
 ''The Bible is not book in which fifty or sixty writers tell what religion Is. but 1t Is record of their religious experi- ences, a record of their consciousness of God, They were human. they were im- perfect men, those who wrote the Bible. They stumbled as we stumble"
