The beginning Of tho encore dates
back to some time between 1915 and
100, probably about 1850, when Louis
XIV. demanded the repetition of GER

by Cornellle Fontenelle and Boileau,
which was sung before his majesty,
and the king wns 80 pleased with GER

repeated. It took fully century for

Prof. R. A. Moore, of the Wiscon-
sin Experiment Station, writing on
the subject of barley, gave a little
advice in last weeks Homestead
which might be needed with profit
by many of our readers. lie points
out its uses as food for live stock,
especially hogs, and calls attention
to the fact that throughout large
part of the corn belt more pounds
of barley on an average can be
raised per acre than Of any of the
other grains. He expressed the
idea that the growing of barley will
to q large extent solve the difficult
problem of getting a catch of clover,
as it is an almost ideal nurse crop.
We find that there is not single
issue Of The Homestead but what
contains information that would be
cheap if one had to purchase it at
the subscription price for year,
and while we believe that the far
mers Of this community are pros
porous and up-to-date class, yet if
The Homestead found its way into
every home it would contribute
materially to still greater advance
ment. Subscriptions for The Home

BIRMINGHAM VS.
 ATLANTA FRIDAY
DECISIVE BASKETBALL GAME BE- TWEEN THESE TWO CITIES. A GAME BETWEEN ATHLETIC CLUB AND Y. M. c. A. IN VIEW.

The Atlanta Birmingham basket ball game at the Athletic club next Friday night will be the athletic event of the week and in all probability the most in- teresting game that has been played here this season.
 Atlanta has already played one game here, and was defeated. Birmingham play ed return game in Atlanta and lost by narrow margin. The teams are now even and the winning game will deciGe the championship between the two cities.
 The line up of the two teams has not yet been announced The Birmingham boys have been in the pink of condition since their game in Selma last week where they won by a handsome score.
 Many lovers of basketball are urging a game or series of games between the Athletic club and the Birmingham Y. M. c. A, and say it would undoubtedly be great attraction. The Athletic club has been at the game longer and have prestige in their favor, but on the other hand the friends of the Y. M. c. A. claim they have younger and more brilliant team, and one which will compare fa- Voraply wit-- any in the south. Their we'll earned victories over Howard college and Auburn and their excellent showing against Yale shows the rapidity with which they have developed Negotiations are now on between the two institutions and 1t Is probable one or more games will be arranged.

B'NAI BIRTH HAS
 DONE GREAT WORK
Plans Are Outlined for Distribution Throuehout the Country for
 Jewish Immigrants.

New Orleans, March 20.-An elaborate report by President Simon Wolf was the feature of the second days session of the constitution grand lodge B'Nai B Rith. It presented an interesting array of statis- tics and facts bearing upon the conditions and history of the Jews in America He said that during the past four years 4,OO0,- 900 foreigners have come to this country, at least one-tenth being Jews and so per cent of whom remained in New York. The remarkable influx he said, was due to oppression abroad Dr. Wolf said the convention ought to stimulate by word or deed the movement of the proper ds- tribution of this foreign Jewish immigra- tion.
 Dr. Wolf said the order of B'Nai Birth had altogether contributed, exclusive of endowments, $10,000,000 to various bene- factions. It has a membership of 30000 throughout the world, has educated more than 10000 orphans, cared for more than 300 aged and infirm and 5000 sick and destitute and has maintained free cir culating libraries of more than 50000 volumes.
 The only matter outside of the report was the appointment of committees and the reference of a number of resolu- tions, including the abolition of ritual and of secrecy, and the changing of the name to the supreme lodge. In the after noon a visit was paid to the Jewish orphans home the new manual training school, and the Touro inf1rmary, many speeches being made upon southern Jew ish philanthropy. Tonight there was a reception of the delegates and their la- dies by the Harmony club.

United States, and related to appoint ments made by Judge Kohlsaat in bank ruptey proceedings. One charge was that he appointed his private secretary, Max H. Whitney, as receiver for the Woods Motor Vehicle company which was de- clared to be a violation of the statutes. The papers include the letter of President Roosevelt to Senator Platt of Connecti- cut in transmitting the nomination and the charges to the consideration of the Senate committee on Judiciary, the reply of Judge Kohlsaat to the charges and the report of Assistant Attorney General Charles H. Robb, who went to Chicago and investigated the allegations.
 President Roosevelt in disposlng of the charges says he agrees with the conclu- sons of Attorney General Moody. to whom they were referred. MT. Moody takes up the charges in relation to the appointment of Judge Kohlsaats private secretary to positions as receivers in cases pending in the court in which he presided and the appointment of Lis son as pri- vate secretary. The Attorney General says that In these matters the law was not violated.
 He says, however, that in appointing his brother-in-law as appraiser of an es- tate under an administration in his court Judge Kohlsaat's act came within the prohibition of the act of August 1. 1888. The position will be one for which the appointee had special qualifications and it calls for small emoluments MT. Moody says this infraction ought not to subject the judge to condmenation.
 After indorsing Judge Kohlsaat for his untring work on the district bench, MT. Moody In his letter to the President says:
 make it impossible to deny him the pro- motion which you have under considera- tion without the appearance of condemn ing him for much more serious charges than are made against him, If the al- under the circumstances as they exist the refusal to promote Judge Kohsaat to the circuit bench would impair, If not destroy his usefulness as a district judge. In this view I concur, and therefore re- spectfully advise you that the appoint ment of Judge Kohlsaat as circuit judge is fit and desirable to be made"
 Mr Robb says in his report that he in- dorsed the sentiment of the Illinois bar, and that while the members would not say that the judge was particularly well qualified for the position of circuit judge. they agreed that he had made a good dis trict judge and had deserved the promo tiOn

 Case.
STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET

Montgomery, March 2O.-(Special) )-The transfer of the case of H. B. Gray. repre- senting the minority stockholders vs. tho South and North Alabama railroad. from the state court to the United States supreme court, will not be consummated unless 1t Is taken to judge higher than that of Judge Shelby at New Orleans, who is a member of the circuit court, and of the court of appeals. He decided to- day that the city court of Montgomery had Jurisdiction and that Judge A D. Sayre of that tribunal was right in re- fusing to sanction transfer to the federal Jurisdiction. He did not rule on the ques- tion of Jurisdiction further than to hold that the state court was competent.
 It will be remembered that H. B. Gray of Birmingham, represented by Hon. Phares Coleman of Montgomery, filed a petition iu the city court asking that the South and Norti. railroad be enjoined from selling it's stock to the Louisville and Nashville at price said to have been fixed of s27.50 per share. A temporary in- Junction was granted. Later George W. Jones, representing the Louisville and Nashville, filed transcript of the papers in the United States court asking that that court take jurisdiction, In that the paries at issue were residents of more than one state and the amount involved exceeded 5000. Judge Sayre of the city court refused to agree to the transfer and now Judge Shelby, before whom the case was argued Saturday in New Or |.
 ceiver for the South and North has also been asked by Mir. Coleman.
 It Is quite likely now that the meet ing of the stockholders of the South and North, called to meet here tomorrow. will not be able to do any business. They are called to consider the transfer of the stock to the Louisville and Nashville, which Is being resisted, and which will have to be heard on it's merits now at time to be set by Judge Sayre.
