COMMENCEMENT AT LIVINGSTON.
Exercises Are Closed After Week of
 Unusual BriIiancy.

Livingston, May 26.-(SpeciaD-The com mencement exercises of the Alabama Nor mai college have just been held, bring ing to close one of the colleges most successful years.
 On Sunday morning the Methodist church was filled to its utmost capacity. many leaving unable to obtain seats The Rev. o. c. Howard of Tuscaloosa deliv- cred a sermon that for beauty. eloquence and depth of thought surpasses any ser mon ever heard here before He took as his text the seventh verse, sixth chapter of l Kings: And the house, when it was in bull ling, was built of stone made ready before 1t was brought thither;" and in beautiful simile compared the building Of the temple to culture and character building, admonishing the graduates en- tering on a new life to build first in the quarry as it were, in order that they night attain true greatness and nobility. He closed his sermon by repeating that soulful poem of Holmes, "The Chambered Nautilus"
 Monday evening the graduates received their diplomas. Capt Richmond Pearson IIobson addressed the class. He was, if possible, more magnetic and powerful than at either the other three times he has been to Livingston. He held the audi ence spellbound by his eloquence and magnetism. He entered amid deafening applause as the band played ''The Con- euering Hero Comes'' His address was simple and eloquent-forceful to the minutast degree His tribute to the distln- guished president, Miss Julia S. Tutwiler. and to. her father also. was fitting and beautiful, and his last words to the grad uates were an inspiration to them in there future career. so earnest and sincere were they.

 EMPIRE LAUNDRY
"BREVITY IS THE SOUL OF W.T..
 GOOD WIFE! YOU NEED
 SAPOL 10

with the campaign hardly month old 1t now seems that four teams have been eliminated in the struggle for supremacy. Banking upon the showing up to date in- dications point to the fact that New Or leans and Shreveport will hold up the western end of the campaign dash while Birmingham and Nashville will be the eastern delegates upon whom the pen nant mantle has a chance to fall.
 While remaining egations-Atlanta and Montgomery in the east-Little Rock and Memphis in the west-are not com pletely out of the running, their show ing has not been sufficiently noteworthy to place them on familiar speaking terms with the others first named.
 Birmingham is probably the strongest eastern team with Nashville running sec- ond. New Orleans with Joe Stanley on hand are now the strongest westerners, with Shreveport running second.
 New Orleans and Birmingham are sche- duled to meet this afternoon, so the com parative strength of the east and west can be figured out partially at least
 That Baron bunch has already held it's own with the west and have been play Ing the best ball of the campaign. Since leaving Atlanta they have played II games, winning and losing 6. or com pleting almost an even break They will return to Baronville fairly well up in the race and then a long home series will make them dangerous opponents.
 It is a bitter blow to local pride that At ianta should be so helplessly stranded this early in the game, but such seems to be the case and the only aid at hand is an immediate strengthening of the Colonels squad before additional losses put them completely out of the race.

The boy died from suffocation.
 Yesterday morning at : o'clock when the fire broke out in the mines, there were thirteen men and boys off from the shaft the only means of escape being through the air shaft. All of the miners were drawn out by means of ropes but the two negro boys who agreed to stay below and take care of the mules Eli Dadc, the other negro, was drawn out yesterday evening and went through the ordeal without injury.
 The fire yesterday broke out in the en- zine room of the mines and for a while burned fercely. Not much damage was done with the exception to the engine, which will have to be replaced by a new one The new engine will be in- stalled in q few days and the mines will again resume on full time.

New Orleans, May 26.-( Especial )-Allo- way got started badly this afternoon and before he could pull himself together the Pelicans had touched him up for two singles, two doubles and home run, netting five of the six runs made. Then he settled down and pitched a remark ably good game, leaving the defeat stand ing to 5 in an exciting game. He was not the only one who had a bad inning, for after pitching with exceptional speed for five innings French let down decidedly and the Coal Barons lit right in and ham, mered five singles out themselves, which netted four runs and after that each team made, single run and there the battle stood. In the fifth inning, after two runs had been made Rohe singled and Turner walked and Bib Ace Stewart, who one steadily, put one over the fence for a home run, his is the second home run he had made in a week but the Knocking continues just the same.
 Alloway in the fifth walked and Duffy also drew pass and Vaughan by this same kind of transportation, filled the bags with but one out. The Pelicans pulled themselves together and there was little cracking good work shown.
 Cut Off at Plate.
 Lynch singled one to right field, where Stanley was at work, and he made line throw right to the plate, cutting the tally down to one lonely run. On Smith S bounder to second Duffy was cut off at the plate and Hanley struck out After the PplipapG had haa ri ,oJ t, tl,ot, half the Barons had their fun, giving the local public an awful scare O'Brlen drove out a safe one to right and Mill lerick followed with another single. and Tamsett flew to center field. Alloway and Milerick with Brien on third, where he had stolen his way, started down for double steal It worked. for O'Brien, with terrific spring. just did beat the ball home. Duffy came up next and singled and Mlferick came in on Vaughans hard drive over second base. Lynch then walked and filled the bags and Smith singled a long one to right helo and Duny and Vaughan scored.
 The Winning Run.
 In the sixth the Pelieans tallj,d the sixth and wining run. Stewart landed safe on hit to left and went down to second on a passed ball and took third oh roA sdcIlllce. frencn bounded a. slow one to second and Stewart scored In the third Vaughan made a double unas- sisted. Rohe had been hit and Turner followed him, lining out a straight one at Vaughn's head, which he pulled down in great shape and recorded the two put outs In the seventh there was another double Genins singled and went to sec ond on sacrifice. Rohe sent one down to deep short Genins. who is a speedy runner. crossed third and started home and Rohe was out at the first bag Vaughn shot the ball in like bullet and recorded the double play. It was fast work. Tomorrow Stret will tackle either Lee or Breitenstein and the series will end.
 The fans here predict that Birmingham will finish in the first division sure, for the Baronns certainly play a faster game than any of the teams that have been seen here this season.

A great game of ball was played yes terday between the Fifth Avenue Stars and the Seventh Avenue Giants, which resulted in victory for the Giants by the close score of 8 to :.
