MRS. HETTY GREENS
 ADVICE TO WOMEN

Woman's proper sphere is the home. A married woman should take no ac- tive part in the business world. Above all things, a woman should learn how to cook. I mean how to cook whole
 some food. and not necessarily how to prepare fancy dishes for the table. Let a woman learn first of all how to make bread. good old English bread, using potato yeast and not baking powders.
 You think 1t strange that l advise married women to keep out of busi- ness while I am apparently doing the contrary by being so active in busi- ness myself. but you must remember that I did not become active until l had to. My husband was paralyzed for eleven years. and I was obliged to take up the reins. I was always in- terested in commercial affairs from the time l was 6 years old, when as g child in New Bedford 1t was my great est pleasure to visit the headquarters

CTS. No doubt Engineer Simpsons sagacity prevented a serious wreck.
 On the night of December 22nd at about II o'clock, J. F. Rut1edge, one of Opelika's most prominent business men who resides on Second Avenue, re- ceived painful and serious wounds on the face and hands inflicted by John Martin, with a razor.
 Rutledge was at home reading a newspaper. when he heard noise in his back yard. He went out to i'm vestigate, followed by his son. A short distance from the house. a man was seen running rapidly towards the Central Railroad, Rutledge was un- armed and sent his son back after a gun and immediately began pursuit After running two blocks. he overlook the man and a fierce struggle ensued. Rutledge got him down, but the man jerked out a razor and cut him almost to the cheek bone and also inflicted several wounds on the hand.
 By this time Rutledge's son arrived and they held the man, until the police could be notified. Policemen Boss and Heath arrived and carried the man, who was ascertained to be John Martin to the guard house. Yesterday the case against Martin in the City Court was dismissed and a warrant was is- sued TOT nlIn III lHS SOunly SOuTt. HIS bond was fixed at $500. which he gave. Today the case was set for trial Jan- uary 8. 1905. It Is understood that Martins defense will be that he can prove by several witnesses that he had just left the Street Fair and had not had time to go to Rutledge's house and that the man, that Rutledge was pur- suing escaped in the excitement and that he was jumped on through mis- take and when jumped on he defended himself

Forthcoming League Meeting.

When the Southern League magnates assemble in Montgomery for the sched- ule or working meeting In February the local interest and enthusiasm in the greatest game in the world which has been bubbling will literally begin to sizzle and boil.
 Arrangements are already making for the entertainment of the baseball men, a banquet being one form of the entertainment. and the proverbial hos pitality of Montgomery will show it. self.
 Thanks to the admirable management of Judge Kavanaugh, the Southern League is in the healthiest financial condition of any minor league in the United States. This league Is inde- pendent With a big fund in ,one of the draft of the trustees, everything Is, so to speak. "on velvet" Before many months the guarantee fund will be con solidated with the reserve fund-about $S.000-and a handsome sum of $10, 900 will be in bank
 President Kavanaugh now has more than enough money to meet all inci- dental expenses before the different clubs put up their guarantee money, and when the $10.000 is complete, the paying of the guarantee by the differ ent clubs will be stopped. the interest and surplus being sufficient.
 Each of the eight clubs in the league has received the $500 guarantee that they put up last Spring. Montgomery having received the $250-half of the draft for Durrett from the St. Paul club-making a handsome nest egg of S750 for the local club to start the season.
 Local fans remember the trouble that the Montgomery Club had in Nashville last season. The Pretzels delayed the game so that finally the umpire forfeit ed the game to Nashville. Newt Fish CT gave every one of his patrons rain checks and held out the receipts of the Montgomery club for that day. When Nashville came to Montgomery on the next trip the local club held out Fish CTS part of the gate money, the finan- cial squabble being left to the League to arbitrate.
 At the meeting in Memphis the other day Fishers action in holding up the Montgomery money in Nashville was upheld and he was awarded his share of the money held out in Montgomery.
 Another incident of the meeting was that 1t was proved that Fisher was paying more money for his team than Montgomery was last year, even after his oratory about the salary limit. The salary limit for next season has been fixed at $2,000. but there is no way to hold New Orleans and some of the other clubs down to that figure.
 The final standing of 1904 was off cioI1y follows.

CLARK IS EXCHANGED
MONTGOMERY BASEBALL CATCHER
 GOES TO BIRMINGHAM.
For Him O'Brien Will Get Millericl<, and Local Fans Believe 1t Was Good Trade for
 Pretsels.

The indications grow stronger every day that OBrien will have a baseball team for 1905 that will not only be credit to Montgomery, but will be one of the switfest aggregations in the Southern League.
 A deal that has been hanging fire ever since the League meeting in Mem morning. There was long-distance telephone conversation between Major E. E. Winters and MT. Shepard of the Birmingham Club. and at the end of it livered. The deal that was closed yes terday was the exchange of Catcher Clark of Montgomery for Millerick ot Birmingham.
 While both of these men are among the fastest backstops in the Southern League. still there is no denying the fact that Montgomery gets good bit of the best of the bargain. Clark has been with Montgomery for two years, and in that time has shown himself to be q hard-working, conscientious ball player, and one of the best pinch hit ters in the League. His throwing to is good. For catching foul flies, he hardly has an equal in this League.
 Millerick is known all over the Southern League as one of the heady CT than Clark both in years and experi- ence. he naturally has the advantage of the Montgomery catcher. For one thing. Millerick is a great deal steadier in his general backstop work than Clark. his fielding average showing that. though in batting and baserun- ming Clark was ahead of him.
 Clark's batting average was, 104 games, 36S times at bat, 34 runs S6 hits. 100 two-baggers. 10 sacrifice hits. IS stolen bases and an average of .234.
 Millericks batting average was 53 games. 1S6 times at bat, Is runs. 3S hits. 46 two-baggers. 4 sacrifice hits, 10 stolen bases and an average of .204. In fielding Clark's average was 104 games, 409 putouts 129 assists and IS errors. with an average of .9f9. Millerick's fielding average was 46 games, POS putouts, 54 assists, 10 errors and an average of .963.
 The best feature of the trade. how ever. is the fact that Millerick gets | along with pitchers so much better than Clark. Time after time in Mont gomery Clark has given an exhibition of sulking that did the game no good In 1903 Lew Whistler had to discipline him for this display of temper.
 Millerick Is popular with his team mates and Is always even-tempered and tractable. Then he was with O'Brien when he won four champion ships in the New York League.
 Everything taken into consideration Montgomery got a long ways the best of the bargain yesterday morning.

WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.

pleasant of the Worlds Fair season,
the average temperature being 81 de

by either Boston, New York, PhiladeI

weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and st. Paul
cities located at great variance
August in st. Louis is a month OF
cool nights, and September and Octo-

the year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con

Corse's relief and defense of Allatoona
pass, Oct. 3, 1864, is the best remem-
bered single figure episode of the war
The capture of Atlanta by Sherman's
forces at the close of the summer of
1864 left the Federal army of the west
loose in the heart of Dixie The Con
federate leader, General Hood, finding
that he couldn't cope with it III open
battle, determined to paralyze it for
offensive operations by doubling back
on Shermans long line of railway com
municatiOns. extending from Atlanta
past Marietta. AllItoona, Kingston and
Rome on to Chattanooga and Nashville
Slipping out of Atlanta to the west, he
"lay low until Get. l, then moved
northward to the vicinity of Dallas
To keep pace with Hood, Sherman
moved back to Marietta, and while his
columns We're 'tOiling slowly over the
mountains north of that point Hood
struck out on the right flank to destroy
the railroad from the mountain district
nortlward. On Oct 3 the track was
completely destroyed for ten miles
north of Marietta, and the Confederate
division of General S. G.. French was
ordered to march several miles farther
north, to AllatOOna, where the road
passed through a cut siXty-five feet
deep, fill the cut with stones, earth and
logs, burn the Yankee army stores at
Allatoona, then slip away west and
south and rejoin Hoods main army on
the Dallas line before Sherman could
intercept the raiding column. One of
Sherman's divisions, under General J.
NJ. Corse, was scattered along the rail
road from Allatoona to Rome as rail
road guards. COrSe was at Rome with
the bulk of his troops. A small brigade
lay at AllatOOna.
About noon on Oct. 4 a message from
Sherman at Kenesaw, travelling from
signal station to signal station on the
mountain tops, reached COrse at Rome,
ordering him to re-enforCe AllatoOna,
for the enemy was marching upon it
along the railway from the south ahead
of Shermau's relieving column. There
were no cars at Rome for the move
