Barlow Minstrels.

The BIZ low MinsIrels are small in
numbers tut large in talent this sea-
son. They appeared at the Mobile
theatre at matinee yesterday and
again at night, good houses greeting
both performances. The attraction is
stronger in variety Of features, pleas
ing choral effects and the humorous
business associated with a minstrel
show, than ii was two years ago, and
after witnessing the performance, a
remark Of Mr.. Barlow's may be en-
dorsed, that he is making an honest
effort to bring his troupe up to the
highest standard.
They are equipped with many new
songs and they give the old ones in
first class style.
Dan s. Holt, formerly an amateur
at Macon, Ga, fills the post Of end
man like a veteran.
Edward G. Hayes is at the other
end. He has an ample stock of jokes
without any moss on them and other
wise cleverly adds to the perform
ance.
Novelties are shown by Varin and
Turenne, Roman axe manupilat ors,
and the Gloss Bros, in artistic posing,
representing contests between gladia-
tors, remarkable feats OF balancing
strength, and in parallel bar exercises,
which gained much applause at both
performances.
The orchestra, possessing from.
bone soloist of merit, Will F. Stewart,
adds greatly to the generally pleasing
effect of the perfOrmance.-Mob

At New Orleans.

New Orleans, January 14-Stratton II and Old Hutch were the only winning fav- orites. Ecome, who won the fifth race, was backed from 15 to to 1, and the ring profited but little by the very poor showing made by Satin Coat, strong fayorite. While at the post for the third race, Old Hutch was kicked in the strfie and pulled up quite lame. The sixth race was notable for the rough riding, and Shotgun. the favorite, was bumped around considerably. and all but knocked down. The stewards have refused all privileges to A. P.

YOUNG CORBETT
 GETS THE DECISION
AUSTIN RICE STAYED FULL SEVENTEEN ROUNDS, BUT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT BUT FOR HIS AGILITY.

Hot Springs, Ark, January 14.-"Y oung Corbett" feather weight champion, was given the decision over Austin Rice of New London, Ct tonight in the elgh- teenth round of what was to have been a twenty-round contest before the Whit tington Park Athletic association. The fight was not to finish, Rice staying full seventeen rounds. Just before the end of this round Corbett landed stin left swing glancing on the stomach, and as result Rice was taken sick during the remainder of the fight. The feature of the contest was Rice's agile foot work, which, With his success in lodging Corbetts vicious lunges, was wonderful, but had he not been a master at this he would have gone down and out earlier in the game.
 Nearly every round consisted of rushes and aggressive fighting by Corbett and feinting lodging by Rice Once the cham pion went to the fioor his foot slipping as he lodged a lunge from Rice. Once Rice fell to his knees under similar cir cumstances, but both men were on their feet in an instant.
 Rice landed almost as many blows as did the champion, but they lacked force and seemed to do little damage. Corbett In turn landed many face and body blows, but his most vicious swings and upper cuts were either lodged or blocked and those that went home had small effect.
 s3ice's fight was purely to stay the twenty rounds, and he fought almost en- tirely on the defensive. So successful was he in lodging the rushes of the champion that Corbett famed the air and several times ran into the ropes with force.
 The contest was refereed by Pat Early, formerly of Chicago. At the ring side were a number of prominent sporting men. Before the beginning of the bou, Manager Mulllgan of the association re- ceived a number of teegraphic challenges from feather weights in all parts of the country to meet the winner of the match They were received with great applause by the large audience when read from the ring prior to the contest.
 The programme was opened with pre- liminary bout between John Schwartz of Louisville and Chick Edwards of San Francisco.
 The men fought hammer and tongs for seven rounds, when Schwartz was fioored and counted out.

ing, one of the engines would run all the mills in Tacoma if it were not loconfo- tive.
 Five years ago the company received the first of its "Klondyke' engines, then considered a masterpiece of engine con- struction. Though monsters in size and power, the new engines exceed them Just 20 per cent in both dimensions The ''Klondyker" exceeded the "Mogul by 300 tons up the grade to Lester and the .battleship" daily exceeds the 'Klon- dyker" by 200 tons.
 The engines are not comfortable for the engine crews, and have occasioned great deal of kicking. A bulletin was posted yesterday cutting down the loads of engines, and till further orders the ..battleship" will only be required to draw 900 tons-still far in excees of any thing which has preceded them. The ob- feet of the order is the speeding up of trains during the great rush of business now on.
 It Is positively announced now, as oft times before, that the limit of locomotive building has been reached. It remains to be seen how many months it will be be- fore the limit sign is torn down and higher one substituted

STOCK INDUSTRY
 THE MAIN THEME U. s. Senator Harris Among the
 Speakers Yesterday POSSIBILITIES DISCUSSED
MT. Thompson of Government Bureau Informs Convention That Live Stock In 1900, Exclusive of 6,ooo,ooo Ami
 maIs, Was Worth $3,ooo, 100000.

Kansas City, January H-Addresses on the stock industry occupied the entire time of the short session of the National Live Stock association. Among the speak CTS was ". A. Harris. United States sen- ator from Kansas, who spoke on 'The Louisiana Purchase Exposition and What It Will Do for tho Live Stock Industry.
 He gave review of the history of the territory comprised in the purchase and an appeal to the stockmen to contribute to the success of the enterprise.
 George Fayette Thompson of the bu- reau of animal industry, Washington, read paper on Our Markets for Live Stock and Their Products
 Stock Worth $3,ooo, 100000.
 MT. Thompson said that the value of our live stock in 1900, according to the census reports, was about SS,O00,0OO, ,o00 exclusive of over 6.O0OOOO animals in barns and inclosures, and not on farms or ranges He urged that the products enormous investment must find market at home or abroad. "All agree, he said, "to the proposition that the home market was the best market" He said our mar kets abroad were growing from year to year and that they would continue to do so as long as we could at low cost pro- duce the best meat in the world. We fell behind in our exports of cattle and hogs in 1901, but this was due to short age of supply at home, rather than to lack of demand abroad.
 Foster on Possibilities.
 W. T. Foster of Louisiana spoke on ."rhe Live Stock Possibilities of the South.'
 He said that making a living in the south had been so easy that men did not have to go into the live stock business but that the people of that section were now waking up and that the thousands of acres of abandoned cotton fields would be reclaimed as pasture lands for stock. These fields could be utilized for pastur- age eight months out of the year and could be purchased for from s to sl0 an acre. He told of the possibility of alfalfa as forage crop and of other valuable grasses for pasturage purposes which grow so abundantly in the south.

BIGGEST OF LOCOMOTIVES.
Enormous "BattIeships" That Easily
 Draw 900 Tons.

From Tacoma (Wash.) Ledger.
 The Northern Pacific has received the
 last of a consignment of twenty-one of the biggest engines in America. The last one of the series arrived a few days ago,
 tincton of being also the greatest rail-
 road center in the world in this respect.
 There are as big engines elsewhere, in
 twos and threes but on no line and at no point are there a score of engines like the
 12O0-class just received in Tacoma. Any
 ten or those engines could have done all
 the railroad business there was to be
 done here. ten years ago, when the sage
 hens' used to crawl up to Weston with eight and ten small cars that could be loaded into five modern cars, wheels and
 and Tacoma, the terminus has the dis
 all. The public sees little of these engines
 since they are confined to freighting on
 the mountain division. Any one of them
 can pull on a level track all the loaded
 cars that can be hung behind them. The
 only limit is the number of cars that can
 be handled by single crew. In the
 graphic language of Master Mechanic
 Bruce You can string all the cars you can get behind one of these engines, chop
 the train off at a mile or so. and swing 'em into Portland easy
 Technical language will not convey to
 the average reader the immensity of
 these wonders of locomotive building The
 name given them by common consent all over the road is ''battleships.'' and a more descriptive name could not have been chosen. One goes up two flights of stairs to reach the cab. for the boilers are so big they cannot be squeezed be- tween the drivers. and perforce must be put on top of them. Their height is of three men standing on each others
 shoulders-just low enough to squeeze
 through the tunnels. Indeed, many tun- nels had to be raised to let them through from the east. The cylinders are double on each side. being arranged tandem" the word tandem being | adopted as the class name of the engine Five years ago the ''Mogul' engines. | which could swing 800 tons up the 1 PHO | grade to Lester at the foot of the moun- | tains was considered wonder, and many believed the limit had been reached

Sultan Short on Wives.
rom the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
 A few days ago. writes our St. Peters burg correspondent, it was stated by some foreign papers that the Shah of Persia after his return from his Euro pean travel, had dissolved his harem, containing about 100 women, and had only retained sixty of the number. It was added that the Persians were very much troubled since no predecessor of his majesty has possessed less than 15OO wives.
 This news is hardly correct, for even those shahs under V1ose reign the harem flourished, such as Nasr-ed-Din, never possessed more than $50 to 370 wives. This shah added one wife yearly to his harem on the occasion of his annual hunting ex- cursion to the mountains. After his death every woman in his harem received e200 and married a subordinate official.
 The harem of the present shah Is not very numerous, as 1t contains at the most twenty to thirty women.

The contractor has for years been trying to turn out these columns en- tire, sixty feet long, but no machinery exists by which they could be turned without breaking by their own weight. Sc the contract has been modified to allow the columns to be in two sec tions, thirty-six and eighteen feet lcng, respectively, the bases, plinths and capitals to be added. Three of these columns will soon be erected. Each one will cost $16,000, will be the gift of some individual and named after eminent men of the church.
