the arrest of Thad Pennington who
killed Lee Faux, in Houston County
on June 49,.
The killing grew out of the burning
of gin house which belonged to PEN

eribed by the Dothan papers as hav-
ing a wide reputation for lighting
and drinking" Considerable enmity
had existed between Faux and Pen
nington. When Pennington found
that his gin house was burning he
went to Faulks house and accused him
of setting fire to 1t. In the quarrel
that followed Pennington shot at Faulk

NAY PLAY SUNDAY
ANOTHER MOVEMENT TO VIOLATE
THE NEW LAW.
Effort Making to Raisesa Fund to Pay
Fines of Baseball Players-A
Ground Robin" Petition.

A movement Is under way to have
baseball played on Sunday in Mont
| gomery.
The movement is in the form of a
"rounG r ab.H" a~r"e-1ent by which each
signer pledges himself - contribute
| 81 to the management of the Montgom-
err 31aeball Club for the payment of
fines and costs which might follow an
attempt to play baseball on Sunday
here in opposition to the law. The
petitions, II is understood that there
are two or three of them, are being
circulated quietly and the circulators
are unknown. The men behind the
movement are vaguely described as
prominent baseball fans"
Those who were requested to sign
the agreement were Informed that the
object was not so much to secure the
| money for the payment of the fines as
1t was to show that there was a strong
public sentiment in Montgomery for
Sunday baseball
It Is said that some men offered TO
pay a dollar to the specified purpose,
| without signing the petitions. but were
informed that their name upon the pc
tition was worth more than the dollar
and that the dollar would not be taken
without the name 1t was declared
that what was wanted was a showing
To the officials and the public that Sun
day baseball was popular here.
The presentation of the papers was
accompanied by the statement that
we'll known Montgomery lawyer had
declared the Sunday baseball law to be
unconstitutional and that he could es-
tablish 1t in the courts.
The legal attack is to be made on
the law which passed the last Legisla-
ture providing a penalty of $500 for
the playing of baseball on Sunday. If
the attack on this law is successful
there will be no need to fight the sun
day baseball ordinance which was re-
Gently passed. by the City Council.
The head of the petitions which have
been put in circulation. read about like
this: I'VE, the undersigned. agree to
contribute the sum of 81 to pay the
fine and costs assessed against the
management of the Montgomery base
ball team for an attempt to play sun
day baseball"
Men who were requested to sign the
petition were assured that Sunday base
ball would be played one time at least
to test the law. 1t is understood that
the attempt will be made as soon as
the petitions have total of 400 names
Last night 1t was said that the Bir-
mingham and Montgomery teams would
attempt to play at Oak Park next Sun
day as a eame is scheduled for that
day.

MIR. MADDOX HAS REGRET.

| The appended letter was given to The
Adyertiser Yesterday by Alderman John
and at the. request of Alderman Mad
dox:
Montgomery. Ala. June 90, 1904.
Hon. John p. Kohn, Chairman of the
Redfstricting Committee of the
City Council:

greet read in Wednesdays Advertiser
marks which apparently reflect on you
and Messrs. Gunter and Sullivan, other
members of your Committee.
whilst l differ with you In your
plan of redistricting the city, especial
ly the looping off of some of Ward s.
yet nothing was further from my mind
than. to reflect In any way upon any
momber of the Committee. or to as
cribe to any member of the Committee
other motives than the same which ac-
tuated me in the consideration OF the
matters before the Committee.
Very truly.

That the matter should be made en-
tirely clear to the public Alderman

trict the city into wards Three mem
bers of the Committee, Messrs. Kohn
un rea ana Su ,bn T suomitted major
ing Alderman Maddox announced
that at a subsequent meeting Alder
man. Strauss and himself would submit
minority report, adding that politics
has played entirely too much part in
this matter"
Tuesday a representative of The Ad-
veruser was assigned to interview AL
derman Maddox and ascertain from him
IL possible the nature of his proposed
minority report and to ask him to elab-
crate his views on the political meth
The representative of The Advertiser
secured an interview which was in
brief that the Aldermen had paid more
attention to their political interest than
to the city's interest
This representative of The Adver-
tiser is well known to Alderman Mad
dox as newspaper writer. He sought
Alderman Maddox at his place of bus
al out the work of the Redistricting
Committee. He answered these cues
lions and talked freely with every in
dication that he was aware that his
Alderman Maddox at several stages of
the interview requested that certain
specific statements made by him be not
published. In every instance faith was
kept with him. Alderman Maddox said
more interesting things than were pub
lished.
Alderman Maddox was absent from
the city Wednesday. Yesterday he
confirmed every word of the interview
characterizing It as being remarkably
accurate" He said however, that he
regretted that he had talked to a news
paper man as he had disclosed matters
that transpired in a Committee room
which should not, perhaps. have been
published. He said he had been urged
by Aldermen Kohn, Gunter and Sulli-
van to write a letter explaining his DO
sition IN the matter.
Hence the letter published herewith
1t will be observed that the correct
ness of none of the statements in the
interview is challenged by Alderman
Maddox.

The North Alabama Conference Is the
first religious body to be incorporated
under the special act passed by the
last legislature. This religious body,
IL is understood, was interested in the
passage OF the act by the legislature
authorizing Incorporation. The Con-
ference had been incorporated under
an act passed in 1873, entitled IAN act
in relation to the annual conference of
the North Alabama Conference and to
define the rights and franchises OF
said Conference"
Some doubts have existed as to the
constitutionality of this act ana to
take its place the new act entitled
IAN act to provide for the incorpora-
ton Of the annual Conferences OF itin-
Grant ministers of the Gospel and
amending the charters thereof was
passed. Under the new act the North
Alabama Conference has been incor-
porated.

women in the Colleges.

The following interesting facts con-
corning women in the colleges are
given:
There are $4,000 young women re-
ceiving collegiate instruction in the
United States, and of this number TO-
900 are in the group of twelve states
making up what was until few years
ago known as the West, says The New
York Sun. This group consists OF the
three Middle West States of Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, of the five North
western States of Michigan. Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota, North and South Da-
kota, and of the four trans Mississippi
States of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska.
In Illinois alone there are $500 wo-
men students pursuing the higher
branches of university education, as
against 100 in New York, 1900 in
Pennsylvania and only 700 in Massa
chusetts.
There are 1900 women students in
colleges or universities in Iowa and
3.400 in Ohio, a larger number than
in the whole South, with, the single
conspicuous exception of Tennessee,
which takes a higher rank than any
of the other Southern States in res
pect to higher education, the income
of Tennessee's schools and UNIVERSE
ties being larger in year than those
of Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi
combined. The universities and col
leges of Tennessee have nearly 1000
women pupils, almost equaling in this
particular California.
There is only one State in the coun-
try which has no women students in
colleges and universities, and that
state is New Hampshire. which in 9TH
er respects stands high in educational
matters.
Wyoming, in which women first OBJ
tanned equal recognition with men in
legal and political matters, had, at
the time of the last report, only six
ty-five women students in institutions
for higher education. North Dakota
had eighty-six and Utah 232.

PASSING OF THE BLOND.

Anthropologist Otis T. Mason of the
Smithsonian Institution says:
The blondes are disappearing hui
man type. They are going fast. Blond
women are becoming scarcer every
year, and today there are not nearly
SO many fair haired and blue eyed
beauties as there were fifty years ago.
In each successive generation there
are fewer of them than in the last AL
ready such thing as a real blonde,
purely such, is so rarely seen in this
country as to excite remark, and gold
en- tresses are so infrequent that YER
liable ones are usually suspected to be
dyed. In short, 1t has become evident
that before long this type of feminine
loneliness will have practically van
ished from the earth.

obviously these actors must have talk

and so Shakespeare became we'll ac-

scene in a place which he knew by
description rather than in an island of

Danish prince lived and died in Tut

Good Books Turned Down.

Many of the greatest sellers" among
the books issued in the last ten years
were turned down repeatedly by .-.e
literary advisers" before finally flnd-
ing their way to the public between
covers. Richard Clavering Gunlner,
for instance, was not able to sell ,he
manuscripts of Mr. Barnes of New
York" Mr.. Potter of Texas" or any
other of his books. and had he not been
able to borrow enough money to pub
lish on his own account his stories
never would have been brought out.

cause the literary advisers" couldn't
make up their minds to it's intrinsic
value. The manuscript of David

more among the publishers. Irving
Bachelors "Eben Holden" was turned
down in one form or another several
times before 1t was taken up, and then
it was through a publisher personally
and not through a literary adviser"
that 1t was accepted. Its acceptance,
by the way, was rather curious.

How to Cut a Good Sandwich.

To begin with, sandwiches, says a
cook book, should be made from loaf
one day old, since 1t is impossible to
cut them neatly from new bread. Be-
fore beginning operations 1t is well to
make sure that we have three or four
knives well sharpened, and that in
winter the butter is not too hard. II
this latter is the case, then the butter
should be placed for a minute or two
before the fire. On the other hand, in
summer IL will spread better IL placed
for an hour beforehand in a bowl of
water containing a little salt. Begin
by cutting the crust from one side of
the loaf; this is more economical
plan than cutting from the top. But
ter the bread and cut into fairly thin
slices, spread the mixture with which
the sandwiches are to be favored upon
one slice, cover with the other, press
together with a clean knife, and cut
into neat fingers three inches long by
one inch wide. Some cooks stamp out
the sandwiches in shapes, or cut them
into diamonds and rounds. and .Aese
perhaps. look daintier, but the fingers
are more economical.

Taxes the Bachelors.

Since January 1898, law for the
taxation of bachelors has been in force
in the Argentine Republic. A month
ly assessment must be paid by every
unmarried man bewteen the age of
twenty and twenty-eight years. The
payment, of course, ceases on the very
day of marriage. This law, except for
the wealthy, amounts 20 a compulsory
marriage act. The second paragraph
in this law has to do with breach of
promise cases. Any person who with
draws from a given engagement to
marry is fined the sum of 800 piastres.
