THE new TENN.-ALA. LEAGUE
Columbia Isn't Mentioned AS A
Member OF The New
Organization.

Huntsville. Ala. Jan. o. Financial
losses sustained by several of the clubs
of the Tennessee Alabama Base Ball
League last season will very likely
prevent the reorganization of that
league for this season. If plans now
being made by base ball men are car
ried through the successor of this
league In this territory will be q cir
cult including stronger towns. One
circuit under consideration include
Huntsville, Chattanooga. Knoxville,
Bristol, Asheville. N. c., and Rome.
Ga. There are many points In favor
of this circuit and many against it,
chief among them being the fact that
Knoxville is very uncertain base bail
proposition. The team representing
that city, while leading the pennant
race, gave notice that it was going to
quit because of lack of financial sup
port, and this brought the league
season to close nearly month sooner
than the end of the schedule. Another
circuit favored above all others here
includes Huntsville. Decatur. Annis.
ton, Gadsden, Rome, Ga, and Chatta-
nooga. This circuit IS believed to be
greatly superior to that of last year,
while the distance between the towns
is even less.
Leaders in the movement for the
formation of league will hold meet
ing at an early date to consider these
questions and make plans for the
eaSOn.

JOUR- HOMELESS AMBASSADORS

In his Chapters From My Diplo-
matte Life" now running In an
Eastern magazine. Andrew d White
gives this instance of the trouble he
had IN solving the house problem while
stationed in Berlin as American am
bassador:
'I)urIng the winter of 1899. 1900
came an addition to my experiences of
what American representatives abroad
have to expect under our present
happy -go-lucky provision for the dip
lomatlc service. AS stated in previous
article, on arriving in Berlin l had
great difficulty in obtaining any fitting
quarters, but at last secured large
and suitable apartment IN an excellent
part of the city. its only disadvantage
being that my guests had to plod up
seventy five steps in order to reach it.
Having been obliged to make large
OUTLAWS for fittings and repairs and
furniture. found that more than the
entire salary of my first year had been
thus sunk; but congratulated myself
4 that had at least obtained residence
comfortable and suitable. 10 be sure,
it was inferior to that of any other
ambassador inferior, indeed, to those
of many ministers of smaller States
but had fitted IL up so that il was
oDsidered cfeditabIe. -

Be Ready For the opportunity.

People are apt to think that, though
their actual lives are poor and sell
centered and such as they are half
ashamed of, if some great crisis
arose they would be able to gather up
their haltng will and raise themselves
to its height. Yes. no doubt Only
life's sternest calls never come in any
such fashion. Things don't arrange
themselves for us to gather up our fee
bic will and settle with our souls that
we will he heroes. They come hardly
and sharply, testing not what we have
resolved To be, but simply what we are.
We have Il sort Of feeling that it is
the opportunity that makes the man.
Not so. The opportunity only shows
him for what he is, and the spirit of
prompt duty, of quick, instructive 10y
atty to right under whatever tempta-
ton may ever come. may be cultivated
and grow to the very capacity for her
oism even in lifes lowliest place and
