Every day the assertion that there

more than verified. 1t is told by a
Japanese writer Of the twelfth cen

for wearing emotional" robes, but
that they were much more ambitious
and bold in their conception of such
costumes than is the woman Of today.
This Japanese historian AYERS that at
a fete SO many centuries ago one Of
the ladies wore robe signifying wa
ter, the mirror Of nature" and an
other love lurking in summer haze"
and so on. These marvellous effects
were accomplished by wearing diaph-
anous materials, one over another, Of
various shades. until the sense Of
solid color was lost in maze Of
changing melting harmony of color.
Sometimes as many as twenty-five
robes were worn, one over another.

Are You Engaged?

Engaged people should remember
that, after marriage, many quarrels
can be avoided, by keeping their d.
gestions in good condition with Elec-
trio Bitters. S. A. Brown, of Ben
nettsville, South Carolina, says:
"For Years, my wife suffered intense
ly from dyspepsia, complicated with
torpid liver, until she lost her
strength and vigor, and became q
mere wreck Of her former self. Then
she tried Electric Bitters, which help
ed her at once, and finally made her
entirely we'll. She is now strong and
healthy. The Julesburg Drug Com

SLAGPILE NOTES

The Barons return to Birmingham to- day from Atlanta where they made a disastrous trip. M .ntgomery comes to- morrow for three games. two of which will be played on Tuesday. The first will be at lo:3o o'clock in the morning and the second will be at o'clock in the afternoon.
 Although 1t is ladies day, the usual lacies' tickets will not be taken. As it fs a holiday everyone win be required to have a full ticket. A telegram was sent to President Kavanaugh yesterday by President Baugh asking for informa- tion on this subject and President kavanaugh replied that everyone would be required to ray full price.
 The Barons dropped from .6D to eos in the percentage column by loosing three cut of four games to Atlanta
 Errors were responsible for the loss of all three games. In the first game out fielders dropped the ball and permitted Atlanta to get men on the bases and then win the game with hits Tn the second game Delehanty threw badly but he could easily be excused as he was rlaying out of his position. and in the last game errors were also largely re- sponsble for the result, as Atlanta hit the ball hard and often after errors had been made allowing the Atlantians 10 reach the bags.
 Atlanta took every advantage of the errors of the Barons and won the three games by hitting al r the errors were made. The Barons made eleven errors in three games, and in one played errorless oakland won.

THE AMATEURS

Ed Black we'll known young printer, seriously injured his arm while pitch- ing a game of baseball Friday after noon. The bone in his arm was fractured seriously and several of the tendons were torn out of place.
 Black was pitching for a team and. had the opposing aggregation at his mercy. In delivering a fast one which would have cut the plate and been the third strike, he tore the tendons in his throwing arm loose at the shoulders. The pain was so great that he fainted ana Tell to ,.the ground before any of the players could reach him.
 In falling the injured arm was folded ID under his arm, and the bone was frac- tured He was taken home immediately in an ambulance and a physician summoned. The fracture was set and his arm was bound to his body so that he cannot move 1t even the fraction of an men so as to allow the tendons to heal.
 It will be three or four weeks before Black will be able to use ms arm to any extent, and the Injury will probably pre- vent him from ever playing baseball again.
