WHITE SOX AT PARK
CHICAGO TEAM PLAYED WITH THE
 PRETZELS.
Mcdonald and Gilbert Made Good show ing in the Box-Other News
 of the Base Ball Dia-


 Considering the soggy. condition of the grounds at Athletic Park yesterday afternoon the showing made by the Pretzels against Comiskey's Chicago White Sox was surprisingly good.
 Mcdonald was unable to control the wet ball and gave five passes to first, though only two clean hits were made off him.
 Gilbert had good control but was hit the game that Gilbert pitched, however, was almost entirely in a drizzling rain. Mickey O'Brien was trifle shy in his throwing to second. but the wet ball caused 1t.
 The feature of the PretzeI outfit was easily the all round work of Reub Gard ner He accepted difficult chances per- fectly and punched out two of the five hits. The other three hits, strange to Gilbert getting two. and Mcdonald one. Brouthers made the neatest sacrifice seen here In many day. the fans giv- ing him an ovation for his clever work One of the old guard of the White Sox box stan of last year. Owens, started yesterdays game fer the visitors and while he hit one batter his control on the whole was good.
 Fiene also had good control while that peculiar sidearm delivery of his was pretty effective. but one hit being made off him.
 Frank Smith, the Birmingham pitch CT of two years ago. pitched the last part of the game for the Chicagoians, and like Gilbert. he had a drizzling rain to contend with. He started in to um- pire the game but his voice went back on him and George Davis succeeded him. Isbell playing short Tie score

JUDGE STEERS CHARGE.
Discusses PeOnaRe Decision Handed
 Down in Clyatt Case.

Savannah, Ga. March 20.-Judge Emory Speer, in the United States Court today, confined his charge almost ex- clusively to a discussion of the peonage decision handed down last week by the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Clyatt from Florida.
 Judge Speer said 1t may be long be- fore that court will have the oppor- tunity to render another opinion so vital to the future of our country. Tt is salutary to the black man, but to the white man 1t is infinitely more so. As to the labor and liberty of every citi- zen it nulllfies that vicious principle let him take who has the power and let him keep who can.' It Is true that 1t spares members of the negro race from a slavery to the reckless and the lawless. to the degenerate and the interruptions; a slavery which com pared with that of our fathers, differs as widely as our conceptions of para disc after and before the fall of our first parents. But its emancipation of the white man is no less significant,
 Judge Speer concluded: For myself l do not hesitate to declare that en- forced labor on a local chaingang for any offense not amounting to crime is involuntary servitude and peonage in the light of the decision of the Supreme court or the united states, no matter what the State law or municipal ordi- nance on he subject may be. Should the Sultan of Morocco or Abdul Hamid at Constantinople conslgn to an Ori- ental chaingang American citizens for such trivialities as are thus daily pun ished here, before the sun went down the steel-clad battleships of the Union would be speeding over the ocean wave to demand redress for the injury or to avenge the wrong. Let but peonage be fastened on our system and all may soon, with Rienzi. exclaim: We are slaves; the bright sun rises to its course and lights race of slaves; it sets and its last beam falls on 2. slave.

DEATH RATE LARGE,
Many Have Passed to Great Beyond
 From Cullman County.

SUuMtys
 Cullman, March 20.-(Speciall-Cu mans death rate for tho past few weeks has been very large and remark able for the health conditions. Gull man is one of the healthiest counties in the State Most of the deaths for the past month that have run up the rate are chargable to health seekers from abroad.
 The county had three notable deaths yesterday. Sister Angela at the Sac red Heart Convent, died yesterday af- ternoon of tuberculosis. Rev. Van Pirch, from Canada, who has been here for about a month. died at the Commercial Hotel at 11:s3 o'clock yes- terday morning of consumption. He was forty-eight years of age and a minister in the Lutheran Church at Montreal. Canada His wife and two children were with him at death and carried the remains to Canada last night for burial. Dr. W. H. Martin. one of the best known and most pop ular physicians in the county, living at Hanceville, died yesterday morning at 3:30 o'clock of heart dropsy. He was sixty-one years of age and had been i'll for some time but 1t was thought he was recovering up to a few days ago. He was buried today at Shady Grove in the western part of the coun- ty.
 MT M M NcAly' OL and Miss Louisiana Livingston, of Lo- gan in this county were married at the court house here yesterday after noon, Probate Judge R. I Burke off ciating. They went to Birmingham this morning where they will make their future home.
 Cullman County circuit court con vened this morning with Judge D. W. Speake on the bench. His charge to the grand jury was a very strong and impressive one This week will be de- voted to cases on the civil docket of small importance. The criminal dock ct will be taken up next week. There are several criminal cases of note, among them the notorious murder case of Willard M. Gregory that has been twice before the supreme court and tried three or four times in the courts of Cullman County. Gregory killed Riu Mann on Christmas eve, 1902. There are five cases of assault with in- tent to murder

DeIehanty-Lyncb DeaL.

The Delehanty-Lynch deal is still today.
 While Delehanty is possibly the more valuable man of the two, still if he is dissatisfied 1t Is the part of wisdom for Manager O'Brien to get the best terms possible in selling him.
 George StultZ is another man who was never satisfied in Montgomery. In two years that he has pitched here he has several times taken French leave and gone back to his home in Louis vile. When he is good it->would be dihicult to find a better pitcher. He is stlll the property of the Montgom- cry Club, though from the fact of his being dissatisfied here Manager OBrien will possibly try to make the best deal possible for his transfer to some other club.
 Manager O'Brien has a deal on foot now that will possibly end in his sign ing Cy Swain. the old Washington pitcher of some years ago.
 Bliss. the young pitcher who started the season last year with Grifith's Yankees, will also be landed by the manager of the Pretzels. Bliss is a terrific hitter and will be worked in the outfield permanently on account of his swatting ability.
 A young college pitcher who has asked for a trial with Montgomery will be the last man to be added to the locals.
 Outfielder Barry reached the city yes- terday morning and will probably work in today's game.

CAMPAIGN MATERIAL
ALDERMEN DISCUSS TWO POPULAR
 SUBJECTS.
The Montgomery Soldiers and the Inc Armary in Debates, hut no Action
 Was Taken.

The National Guardsmen of Mont gomery and the Montgomery Infirmary are both fine campaign material.
 Members of the City Council of Mont gomery accordingly talked of both sub jects last night at the regular Council meeting and did nothing.
 The military subject was first broach- ed by Alderman Jackson, who asked Alderman Kohn, chairman of the Finance Committe what had become of his ordinance appropriating $25 a month for each company, battery and troop attached to a regiment battalion, or squadron in Montgomery.
 Alderman Kohn reported that the ordinance was still in the hands of the committee. but that a report would be made at an early date.
 The boys in khaki were again brought to the attention of the Council by Alderman Ruth. chairman of the Committee on Markets making a re- port on the petition of John Brown to have the market put in better re- pair.
 Alderman Ruth in his report on the condition of the market suggested that 1t be turned into an armory, recommending that the Committee on Public Works and the Committee on Finance take the suggestion up. Alderman Jackson expressed the opinion that the committee was steal ing some of his campaign thunder and he called the attention of the Council to the fact that he brought military to this Council"
 The report was adopted. It will be remembered that two Coun- ell meetings ago, the ladies of the Montgomery Inirmary Association made the Council a proposition to turn the property over to the city if the city obligated itself to maintain 1t in proper fashion.
 Aldermen of the joint committee on Finance and Public Works made the following report in reference to the proposition:
 Your joint committees of Finance and Public Works beg leave to submit a partial report on the proposition late ly communicated to the Council by the ladies of the Infirmary Association. The committee is heartily in favor of making permanent arrangements for the care of the indigent sick of the city. Lack of proper information at the moment as to the cost of a suitable hospital and its maintenance, and the large deficit already staring the Coun- ell in the face. have prompted the com mittee to recommend that definite ac- tion be deferred until after the semi annual statement of the City Treasurer to be made April 1st. If possible the committee will join the ladies of the Inflrmary Association in provid- ing city hospital adequate for Mont gomery's needs. and in keeping with the other good things with which she is blessed"
 The report was received and filed.

In their fight against the bill, the race track interests have advanced the argument that its passage would kill horse racing in the State and 1t is generally expected that the spring meetings at Nashville, spring and fall meetings at Memphis will mark the close of racing in Tennessee.
 The fight over the question has been the most bitterly contested one known in Tennesse legislature since that over the famous Peeler bill in 1901. Todays action was taken after long and vigorous debate, listened to by crowded galleries. The announcement of the vote was received by prolonged applause both from the galleries and on the floor of the house.
