TO ENTERTAIN BASEBALL MEN.

Local Club VIII Give Visitors n Lunch.
 At a full meeting of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery Baseball Club yesterday afternoon 1t was de- cided to give an informal lunch to the visiting members of the Southern League Saturday.
 The plan originaly was to 2 A a ban the fate of the Memphis banquet knocked the idea in the head. At Mem- phis most of the members had to leave the hall before the banquet was under way fairly in order to catch trains for their homes
 The meeting Saturday is called for ? o'clock and by having the lunch at l o'clock there will be no hurry. The meeting if necessary can be put off till 8 o'clock.
 It Is possible that after the lunch is over the meeting can be called to order in Bastiani and Cassimus's banquet hall where the lunch will be given.
 If President Kavanaugh decides to have it in the Mabson Hotel on Court Square there will be ample time in which to adjourn from the banquet hall on Dexter Avenue.
 There will be at least thirty, and possibly a good many more, plates laid, a big delegation of newspaper men coming from the different towns in the circuit.
 At 12 o'clock yesterday the first work was begun on the ball park the architect in charge of the improvements having furnished the carpenters with a ments. The first thing that will be done will be the building of the press box and opening of the arcade under the grand stand.

NEGRO PLAYED LANDLORD.
ArtfuI Arthur Jones Brought Up In
 Prison.

Artful Arthur Jones Brought Up In Prison.
 Arthur Jones, a negro of many aliases, is not horny handed son of toll" Arthur belongs rather to that class known in contemporaneous literature as "frenzied financiers"
 The story of the festive Arthur Jones's life may contain sad passages but an event was enacted last night In his life which is possibly the most saddest occurrence of them all" and one which will probably cause Arthur Jones many callous places on the palms of his erstwhile dainty hands ana a callousness about the heart which will harden in direct ratio to the number and thickness of the corns on his hands.
 Uriah Graham, an ancient and un- suspecting son of Ham, resides with his daughter, Lavinia Graham, at 66 Davidson Street, in Peacock Tract. Uriah Graham is as guileless as the foxy Arthur Jones Is guileful, whence comes the sad story herein related UnsuspectinE Uriah rents the house, wherin he makes his humble home, from one Jeff Boyd and is said to promptly meet the demands of his landlord. This fact being known to
 
 volve many crafty schemes whereby he might posses himself with "glittering glory" which becomes one of his caste. WhereWpon after his imagination has taken form he proceeded to carry out his project and visit the unsuspecting Urlah. He led Uriah to believe that Jeff Boyd did not own the property for the use of which he had met pay ments these many months. Instead Jones represented himself as being the original purse-proud- plutocrat and bloated- d-bondhohier of the realm and insisted that the humble home be- ionged to him: that the property had belonged to his ancestors and had fallen to him in due course of time.
 To prove his assertions he produced the following legal document" the chirography of which Is in accordance with the peculiarly flowing style of the compositions:

 My Dear Sir:-The House that Rolling died and left Fell to the ofen boy. He have a wright to look after it. By the Gudge and gorie. have wright to loot after 1t and it is re- deem.''
 Artful Arthur then received the muntficent sum of $1.
 Now dates the story of the downfall. Arthur became "frenzied." He called again at the home of Graham thIs time receiving another dollar from the daughter Laviaia. Fired by the sue cess of his former operations he called

 St. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-(1;10 a. m.) The railroad strike situation Is re- ported to be growing worse in the southwest. and prevalent advices are tending to show the existence of a reign of terror in Tifis and the Cau- casus generally.
 Many murders by Tartars and Arme- nians are reported. Communication has been almost cut of, even tele- graphers striking. the few who are still at their keys being kept there with pistols at their heads. The rail road employees at Dorpat struck yes terday. The situation In Poland along the Austrian border is also causing great uneasiness

Cbe CbeatreS
MT. WhItesIde as Garriclk.

Walker Whiteside is never to be treated lightly as an actor. He has developed into one of the most finished, scholarly players of the American stage.
 Supported by a superior company, MT. Whiteside gave at the Montgomery Theatre last night. a portrayal of the immortal David Garrick that was star ting in its realism, artistic in its con- ception and perfect in its detail. This delightful entertainment will be re- membered when the long list of musi- cal comedies and other theatrical clap trap have been forgotten.
 There Is as much difference between Walker Whiteside in David Garrick' 8 Love" and musical comedy as there is between a work of Raphael and a ten cent print.
 The play is an adaptation of Robert sons David Garrick" and involves a love affair between England's ideal ac- tor of the eighteenth century and Helen, daughter of the new-rich rubber merchant, Simon Paxton.
 It is said that the adaptation is by MT. Whiteside himself. One can easily believe 1t. Undoubtedly 1t was a labor of love for Garrlck was just such a man to inspire the genius of Walker W nllSSlOe anu HIS dEIiSlIC SOuA.
 And Walker Whiteside showed us little Davy" as the young actor has learned to love him in printed pages. He stepped back two hundred years and scorned those who despised the actor because he was an actor. No finer characterization has been seen on tho Montgomery Theatre stage this season.
 With his melliiuous, robust voice. his perfect reading, his splendid boise, MT. Whiteside was ever the artist, literally to the tips of his fingers. He charmed an intelligent. cultured audi ence which responded with unbounded enthusiasm. insisting on a curtain speech. which MT. Whiteside delivered with naive modesty.
 It has been four years since MT. Whiteside was seen in Montgomery His Hamlet" was pronounced the best since Booth. His Shylock was a mar vel of stagecraft, and his Othello as- founded students of the master bard. Now, he eclipses himself with a fin- ished a perfect, portrayal of the man who gave life to Hamlet" 200 years ago.
 Each member of Mir whiteside's company was all-satisfying.
 Miss Wolstan made a winning Helen Paxton and Mir. Sutherland was efrec- tive as the uncOuth English trades man.
 There were no flaws anywhere. The costuming and scenery were of the period and one imagines Mr. Whiteside has had his hand in providing all of the appurtenances.

who informs them that such ignoram- uses ought to be in an asylum. An actor playing a leading role in a com | edy at one of the local theaters broke all records for ignorance of the game here last summer. New York was playing St. Louis, and the actor, after trying not to appear bored, turned to a party behind him and asked: What teams are they that are playing?' One might guess the other" was the reply | to the actors question.
 Roger Bresnahan of the New York Nationals, suffers mental anguish on every trip unless he gets an end berth on the sleepers He Is sure' the trip will be failure, and nothing can shake his belief in the potency of an end berth for success. Big Jack Pow ell of the New York Americans, has a iislike to wearing initials on his shirt front. A wagonload of empty barrels , spells defeat to some teams, but the New York Nationals regard such a sight as an omen of victory. Base hits and runs cut more figure with Manager Johnny McGraw than signs and omens. Aggressive and as-
 ertive as McGraw is, he Is not with
 ut diplomacy on occasions. Just after
 close game one day which his team
 ad lost, McGraw approached the ufn- Jire and asked:
 MT. Umpire. what would happen to me if should call an umpire an in- competent robber?"
 You would be fined" was the um- pire's response.
 And what would happen to me if merely thought the umpire was an in co mpetent robber?'
 Why, nothing could be done to you then" replied the umpire.
 Well, let 1t go at that" said Me-
