Baseball in an Eager Air.

The regular baseball season is not yet~at hand, but the preliminary sea son was opened yesterday, and the Giants from a far-away city contended with the Coal Barons under the shadow of Mount Slag. Two crack teams rep. resenting two crack cities!
 The fans will have enough to talk about hereafter, but the fans should not be over-critical at the very outset They should give the players a chance to shake the kinks of the inactive sea son out of their arms and legs, and then they may express judgment free ly. The sport is the best of the entire outdoor list, and the inauguration yes terday was welcome to all lovers of it in this town. The practice games af- ford an opportunity to compare the home team with the best of other leagues, and this at least Is interesting.

IN HOTEL LoBBIEs
Stane Chimes.


 Nothing is more effective on the stage than the slow tolllng of bells, especially during tragic climax" said theatre goer yesterday. There is something won derfully sweet and impressive about the notes of a bell that soothes the nearer magically. Perhaps 1t is the association with holy and spiritual things that IS largely responsible for this influence The calm that steals over one when the solemn notes of vesper chant float through the ar is almost duplicated when the stage chimes ring. Perhaps the effect would not be so pronounced if a susceptible audi ence knew that the sweet notes were produced by a griny individual in over alls, striking a large triangle with par of iron. for that is the way stage chimes are rung
 When the triangle has the proper tone' which must be both deep and sweet II IS really much more effective than the real bells would be. for there is lacking that clangor which would be the result 9l ringing a bell so close to the audlehce' and in a place where the sound would De greatly intensified. It would efectuaily drown out everything the players were saying, and would fill the theatre With din. For this reason and also because triangle is much more convenient II IS universally used for initiating the strokes of clocks and the ringing of bells Ihe triangle used at the Jefferson theatre has q sonorous mellow tcne, and in scenes ,ybera church scenes are initiated the et- feet is striking, to say the least.'

Women on Horseback.

.'When the sunny days have come to stay expect to sec a number ot BIT mingham women riding horseback along the streets and country highways said a gentleman yesterday. "The southern woman looks queenly on spirited bay or chestnut and I regret that they seem to be losing interest in the sport that was once typical of this section of the country Up in old Kentucky a great many women ride horses and there are a number of slSilful equestriennes' but Kentucky is famous for its horses and fair women on horseback is but natural. The divided skirt has not come into gen. eral favor among Kentucky horsewomen but is often seen. I am glad to say that the belles of the grand old state cling to their graceful If awkward riding habits and they make dashng figures, I can assure you.
 With the exception of Kentucky ana parts of Virginia, women who ride horses in the south are the exception rather than the rule. Perhaps the difficulty and expense of keeping a good saddle horse are largely responsible, but l am inclined to believe that there is also growing apathy for the glorious sport This is to be regretted because women not only af- ford pleasing sight on horseback but the exercise is just what they need"

COTTON TREE VS. PLANT.

From the New York Commercial
 The federal department of agriculture has instructed the United States consular agent at Guadalajara, Mexico, to make a thorough investigation of the cotton tree that fourishes in that neighborhood and report fully to Washington. It Is evident ly the object of the department to in- troduce the tree into this country, If pos sible.
 The cotton tree Is said to be native of inc state of Jalisco, which is one of the smaller divisions on the Pacific side of the neighboring republic.
 According to statements made in the Houston Post by Senator Hilario cueVas, on whose hacienda near Dagos 1t IS being scientifically cultivated, the tree begins hearing when five years old and continues to he productive for half a century or more, In some instances single tree has been known to produce as much as fifty pounds of cotton in one season. the fiber being very similar to that of the cot ton plant and adaptable to the same uses. It is immune against the boil weevil and all other insect pests. and under proper conditions the growing Of 1t may be made immensely profitable.
 If the report on the tree warrants such action. the department of agriculture will no doubt take prompt steps toward grow ing it in the cotton belt of this country. It is hardly likely that the cotton plant we all know so well will be supplanted. but as a part of the campaign against the boil weevil everything should be done that seems to tend toward immunity from that pernicious insect It may be that the cot ton tree will solve the problem. Stranger thinps have happened.

The Thomas Festivals.

"No stronger testimony is borne to the fact that sacred music occupies the foremost rank in musical art than the programmes which Theodore Thomas pre- pares for his great festivals" said nut slcian yesterday Thomas is not re- ligious man in the church sense, but he is an artist through and through. He has never conducted a festival without plac- ing at least one church composition on the programme, and this year he has more than the usual number of such works
 Next May Thomas Is to conduct the Cincinnati festival and also three days festival in New Orleans. In Cincinnati there will be five performances. The first nights programme will be chiefly taken up with Bach's B minor mass. At the third concert Elgar's Dream of Geron- tius' to Cardinal Newman's sacred poem, will be rendered and at the last concert Beethoven c minor mass will be heard.
 The principal works to be given in New Orleans are Haydus Creation and Gounods Mors ct Vita in each of which Reed Miller, formerly of Birmingham, will have solo parts"

Russia's Plea in New York.

The agents of Russia began in the wrong quarter when they selected the 400" and the Waldorf-Astoria as a field in which to launch a Slavic pro paganda in this country. The people of America are not in the habit of look ing to that quarter for instruction, or for anything else unless it be divorce scandals.
 Dr. Schadt was the chief speaker, and he acknowledged that he had just returned from St. Petersburg He pro- eeeded to astonish the noble "400'' by stating that Russia's chief mission Is to Christianize the world, and that her chief desire is peace. He forgot to mention Kishineff, which really stands for Russia's plan of Christianizing anybody or anything. and he forgot to add that she has sought peace persist ently by gobblng up her neighbors. She attempted to add the Far East to her conquests, and then she met the little yellow men from Japan, and she will have a chance to meet them in the immediate future to her hearts content.
 The Waldorf-Astoria gathering in- vited the freedom-loving people of this country to fall down and worship a race that does not know the first prin- ciples of representative government that stands for everything we repudi- aLe-that keeps it's great population in ignorance and dirt-that aspires, not so much to Christianize the world, as to conquer it. The real Russian dreams of the day when he will rule the world as Rome once did. In the road to con. quest he does not care whether he butchers Jews in Kishineff, or Chris. tians in Armenia, or Confucians in China. The one thing that is evident is, he will not get a chance to butcher Shintoists in Japan.
 Dr. Schadt and Consul Ladygenski have not made good" They have not explained their aggressions in the Far East, where Japan is pluckily fighting fo, O rlace on the man against Russian insolence and intrigue. They have not explained their intention to establish trade monopoly in Manchuria and Ko- req. They have not and cannot explain the duplicity of Russia in Manchuria. No one expects that to be explained away, for that is the very essence of Russia itself.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-03-17

both the cotton and wheat crops have been overestimated, and that lower figures will have to be accepted The belief prevails that the cotton crop will prove to be below 105O0,OO0 bales, and that the wheat crop was overestimated from 40,O00, ,0O0 to 5O,000.000 bushels. This leads to speculative activity, in the grain and cotton markets, and the better feeling in the iron and steel markets is an additional help against dullness in trade.

Conditions of Business.

The handing down of the decision in the Northern Securities case has brought increased activity and even higher prices in the stock market. The decision had been fully discounted. The expected actually happened, and the dealers in and handlers of stocks and bonds feel better because the sus- pense is ended.
 The condition of business in Wall street does not concern the south very much as long as the price of cotton stays in the neighborhood of sixteen cents. The railroads are still crowded with fertilizers, and every plough is busy. The south is full of hope and energy, and it will be full next fall of corn and cotton if the season be favor able. The cotton outlook is unmis- takably good, and this fact renders the south the most promising section of the country.
 Elsewhere the pressure of economy due to falling values and inactivity ln manufactures is felt alike in produc- tion and transportation. The northern railroad lines are still engaged in eff forts looking to lessened expenses, and the hotels complain that patronage, especially of the higher class, is grow ing less. Such signs show that re trenchment is the rule alike in the eastern and western states above the cotton belt.
 One discouraging thing in trade Is the falling off in exports of breadstuffs cattle, provisions, cotton and petro leum.s The loss in February was about 100000 in the export of these arti cles, as compared with the export oi them in February of last year. One months figures are not, however, an infallible indication of years totals At present the indications are that

THE OLDEST DOMESTIC FOWL

From the Washington Post.
 Most persons, if asked what is the old est domestic fowl. would answer without hesitation that it is the hen. But this is incorrect
 The excavations in Asia Minor. among the ruins of ancient Rabylonia and As syria, show that long before the old races knew anything about hens, they had do- mesticated the goose, as is proved by the wall paintings and sculptures. These show geese in variety of ways; but no hens or ducks can be found in a single picture of those early ages. Portraits of the latter fowls do not begin to occur un- til a considerable period after the geese appear The ancient city of Babylon must have been a mighty center of goose breeding. for the goose is a promi- nent subject of inscription and sculpture.

The AntI.spittinq Ordinance.

"The anti-spitting ordinance that was passed by the city council three or four years ago should be strictly enforced,p said citizen. Soon after it went into effect men were careful and desisted from expectorating on the sidewalk, but they soon became careless and the ordinance became practically dead letter
 'The only arrest that was made, so far as I recall, was at the union passenger station. man had spit on the floor of the station. If few arrests were made now the spitters would make themselves very scarce. There Is no excuse whatever for expectorating in a street car or on the sidewalk When man has to spit he can, if he is on car, step to the platform or spit out of the window and If he is on the street he can easily step to the curb and spit in the gutter"

Last Days of Premier RaIfour.

The defeat of the government in the house of commons by a majority of eleven may not mean that parliament will be immediately dissolved, but it certainly goes to show that the tory combination, which once commanded 8 majority of about 150, will soon go to pieces. It is made up of factions that can no longer be held together.
 The nationalists, led by John Red mond, desired to give the children in Irish public schools the right to study Gaelic, and over this issue a vote was taken, the liberals and nationlists vot- ing together. The result was, ayes, Al; noes, 130. It was an administra- tive question, however, and MT. Bal four will doubtless hold the reins of government until after Easter
 The nationalists have been persist ently hostile to the unionists of late chiefly because the latter had not kept their promises to take steps to found a Catholic university in Ireland, and partly because they had not mended the land purchase act by providing a way of determining the price of an estate when landlords are unreason- able. The land purchase is on that account at present practically inopora- tive.
 When Mir. Chamberlain's followers are withdrawn from the tory side,s the nationalists and liberals practically control the house of commons, and can paralyze the government at any time. The muddle oyer the fiscal question and the attitude of the Irish members has well-nigh ended the usefulness of the Balfour ministry, and perhaps be. fore summer comes the long rule of the conservatives will be supplanted by ministry supported by the liberals and nationalists. Such a ministry would represent modern England, The reactionists came in because England was not willing to give Ireland home rule
