New York City on Sunday took place
in Washington Park Brooklyn. on last
Sunday and attracted $4,000 spectators.
The objection to Sunday baseball In
New York and other eastern cities has

Sunday baseball goes in the borough
Of Brooklyn all right, but not In the
borough Of Manhattan. In order words.
the Sunday game Is sort Of sporadic

Police Commissioner McAdoo proposes

In Brooklyn are I'm a sparsely settled
district where residents are not an.
noyed by the crowds. The grounds in
New York, on the other hand, are so
situated that the game would cause
much annoyance in the neighborhood.
The enforcement Of the law IN one part
Of the community and the simultaneous
liberation Of its infractlon IN another
look queer.

This IL something out OF the ordi-
nary: A few days ago a couple in
Cleveland Ohio, were married. and
had incorporated In the ceremony an
obligation, or an oath, never to apply
for divorce. Their vow was as follows:
Whereas, We have entered Into the
solemn pact Of marriage. promising
before the Almighty God to live to-
gether as man and wife until death do
us part therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That In consideration Of
the premises we agree never to be d.
yorced. as being Inconsistent with our
solemn pact made at marriage"
They say they took this means TO
make their marriage vows, which they
took for life, doubly binding, but how
the multiplication OF VOWS can have
that effect, does not appear. When
people desire to disregard VOWS, they
can as easily break two pledges as one,

Judge Hicks had another insane vic tim before him on Wednesday by the name of Pete Lundgren, and he was adjudged as fit subject for the insane asylum at Phoenix. An accident at Jerome while he was miner there is attributed as the cause of hIs demented mind. Previous to that time he was regarded as very intelligent man.
 Alb Mefford, who for over six years has been away from Prescott, returned yesterday. He has spent most of that time in Mexico. and states that that section is progressing rapidly through the channel of mining operations. He was surprised to see such a changed condition in this city from that for merly in evidence.

A NOVEL
 INVITATION

A young woman popular in Baiti- more society was much taken back aot long since to receive from a man of her acquaintance an invitation couch ed in the following remarkable terms :: "Mr. Dash presents his compliments to Miss Blank, and requests the pleas ure of her company at the theaGer Monday evening next. Trusting that we may receive an early and favorable rsponse to the foregoing proposition, we remain, very respectfully yours.
 "Dash & Co. (lnc)."
 The author of this note, it may be added, is the junior partner in large wholesale enterprise in the Monumen tai city. As such he is intrusted with a considerable portion of the GOT Iespondence of his house. So, it would seem that in a moment of absent mindedness he had confounded his business with his social correspondence closing his note with the stereotypad lOAH oppOnuSu lO all 4OilCAS SCnI Odt by the firm and to cap the climax, signing in the same way.
 The young woman who was the re cipient of this unconventional invita- tion, however, evidently appreciated the situation, for she replied in a humorous vein.
 The young man of business day or two afterward was amazed to receive a letter addressed to him Iersonally, bat the following reply to bis invitation:
 "Messrs. Dash & Company: Your favor of the 18th inst. duly received and contents not ,d. In reply ] we would say that we accept the p:o 1 position therein made and hold t1e | goods subject to VT. further instrUo- tions. Very truly yours,

John Tyler MOruan.

On the day that news came from Paris that all obstacles had been cleared from the digging of an isth- milan canal-on the day that the French rights were transferred to the United States-on that very day the republican managers of the bill for the government of the canal zone treated Alabama's senior and honored senator with marked discourtesy. He is the senior democratic member of the committee on interoceanic canals, and he should have been named as the democratic or minority member of the conference committee to adjust differ ences that had arisen between the two houses over the canal zone bill. He was not named, but Senator German was. The latter at once declined to serve, and Senator Morgan as prompt ly declined to take his place. His own words in that connection are the best: T respectfully decline" he said, "to serve on that committed I bow with deep humility to the breach of the rule and accept the discourtesy shown to me. I trust, with proper humility, and certainly will not consent to serve on the conference committee un- der the circumstances"
 The incident created embarrass- ment and indignation in the senate, and it will be strange indeed if just and patriotic men in all parts of the country do not resent in November the discourtesies that republican senators have dealt out to the grand old man who fought or a canal thirty years, making it at last possibility. No one will claim that we would today be engaged in building a canal if Senator Morgan's years of work had not been given to it. It might have come in the long run, but no one living would have seen the completion of the canal if Senator Morgan's matchless ser ices had not been devoted to it's pro- motion on every possible occasion.

is great relief from the heat in itself, and when to that is added the com forts and delights of modern sum- mer resort, not much room is left for discomfort.
 All American towns seek waterside resorts away from hot, dusty streets, in hot weather, and towns in this lat itude particularly need retreats from the oppression of summer. Birming ham has never had retreat in keep ing with those of other towns, but the East Lake Land company is prepar- ing to meet every reasonable desire by giving us a resort of ample propor- tions and variety-of convenience and of safety even when thousands are present.
 Amusements and popular recrea- tion relate in the hot season to the health and vigor of the community, and the work at East Lake has there fore its practical and serious side, as well as it's amusement features. A people without popular amusements is people that lacks vigor, and the work going on at East Lake is work intended to keep us as a people at our best That may not be the primary in- tention in the minds of the projectors of the work at East Lake, but that will be it's ultimate effect The East Lake builders are building better than they know. They are health-makers and philanthropists in disguise, and they may not even know the extent of their beneficence.

A Great Bank.

Strong and growing banks are un- failing signs of city's stability and progress, and this being true, Birming- hams standing as a solid and prosper ous community is greatly enhanced by the splendid exhibit of the First Ma tional bank, which will be found on another page. The First National was 20 years old yesterday and having complied with the conditions of the act of congress providing for an ex- tension of the corporate existence of national banks, the comptroller of the currency has authorized 1t to operate for another period of 20 years.
 Not many banks in this country can match the record that the First Ma tional has made within the last few years. Eight years ago its deposits were little less than $700, ,00o; and that was not poor showing for dull times. On March 2S, 1904, the date of the last statement called for by the comptroller, the deposits amounted to s5,S51, ,155. There seems to be practi- cally no limit to the banks strides. It reflects indeed high credit upon Blr- mingham, and every citizen, whether he be a deposhor in the bank or not, feels pride In this institution.
 Mr. w. P. c. Harding, the president of the First National, Is receiving hearty congratulations on his brilliant success in the administration of the affairs of the bank. He is at once broad-minded, conservative and pro- gressive and his practical and straight forward methods are just the methods that invariably tell in the long run.

City Taxation,

T am much surprised.' said a former mayor of Birmingham, "at the interview with Sigfried Steiner, and the eo.,orial taxation. There can be no special and separate assessment by the city.
 The constitution of the state requires that municipalities shall take the assess ment of the county for the preceding year, and this assessment is actually copied from the books of the county as- sessor for each preceding year. For in- stance, if the assessment in 1903 of prop erty in Birmingham was S1SOOo,OOo, and in 1904 1t Is s2O,0OO,OO0, the city must take the old assessment MT. Steiner, an expert bond man, should know this.
 For many years the city had annually representative before the county com missioners or board of revenue urging fair and equitable assessments, but l under stand this plan has been abandoned. The truth Is that property is terribly low in assessment for taxes, and the merchants are carrying the burden here I know of one man who has a piece of property worth $3O, O00, which he assesses at s6O00. Another with a home for which he would not take $50OOO given in at $7OO0. These things ought not so to be.
 What the city needs Is strong, we'll raid, vigorous business man to stand be- fore the board of revenue and demand an equitable adjustment of tax values. This would double the tax income of Birming- ham. and make possible the erection of more school buildings"
