, tip was sent out last night that when the Auburn special arrives today about noon there will be plenty of coin of the realm to be wagered that the orange and blue will win.
 Coach LeaVenworth seems as confident as can be that his team will win. He does not expect any great score, but on the other hand he says that he expects rather a small score. He, however, thinks that Alabama will have the big end of the litle score.
 Manager Cabaniss and Manager Den son of Alabama and Auburn respectively are each sure that they will carry a winning team back home Last night the former said that Alabama had every req son to win, and that he believes the crimson and white Is the strongest of the two teams. He based his opinion on careful study of the teams, indi- vidually and collectively
 Both teams admit that they are lit- tie off on the defensive work. Alabama has been noticeably slow all this season in it's offensive work but Coach Leaven- worth is of the opinion that decided in- crease of speed will be in evidence this afternoon.
 Auburn Is quicker than Alabama. but lighter. Ther is a difference according to the official figures, of the weight of the players as given by the coaches, of about three pounds per man.
 Its a toss up which wins. The game will probably be won or lost in the sec- ond half for the team with the best staying qualities will have the best chance to win. No one would be sur prised if neither team scored in the first half.
 Will Be Big Day.
 Birmingham has been captured by the footballists. Early yesterday morning the colors of the two teams began to appear on the streets. Canes with the respective colors were fiourished, banners were in evidence and in all the show windows were to be seen the crimson and white of Alabama and the orange and blue of Auburn.
 There will be more visitors in Brming- ham to see the game than ever before in the history of the city. Auburn's contingent will arrive about noon on a special train, several hundred strong. and Alabama's arrives a couple of hours ear Her.
 More people are showing interest in the game than ever before. The indca-

 Just a block from the Florence the tents of Alabama have been pitched for the time being, and the corridors and lobby of the hotel was packed with wear CTS of the crimson and white last night. Alabama arrived at 6:45 o'clock accom- panied by some fifty or more staunch supporters. The remainder of the Tus- caloosa following will arrive this morn ing on a special train. It Is estimated that not less than 700 pupils and residents of Tuscaloosa will see the game.
 Alabama is confident. She feels that she has victory in sight and that it will be a well earned one. In fact the wearers of the crimson and white are so confi- dent that they are beginning to lay some pretty nice odds that Auburn will have the little end of the score. Alabama money went begging yesterday, but the

WORST STORM IN YEARS

From data furnished by Prof. Ling
Of the Havre station of the weather
bureau we find the storm of the early
part OF the week was general; extend
ing from Spokane to St. Paul as a
snow storm, and from Chicago east as
'aln, with the wind at 60 miles per
hour. Almost inches Of snow. e.
Quiyalent to so of an inch of rainfall.
fell at Havre in the first three days of
the week, while on Tuesday alone the
weather bureau reports go at Duluth,
90 at MoOrehead, and 30 at Chicago
On Tuesday the cold wave appeared
at Canadian points, running rom s
below zero to 30 below zero. and on
Wedn' sday morning had reached
Havre, where 81 degrees were regist-
cred. High east winds drifted the
snow at this point, and from travellers
coming in on all the tr ins we hear
the same story, and the belated trains
from all directions confirm the tale
of severe storm.
While travel by teams has been very
difficult and disagreable, it ras not
been stopped, and we hear of no
serious suffering.
The precipitation here is equal to
one half of an inch of water, more
than has fallen in the past three
months, and it was badly needed, and
the high winds have cleared great
stretches Of range, piling the snow in
drifts that will furnish stock with
moisture the rest of the winter, so
that We hope that the benefit will ex-
coed the Inconvenience or loss that
has occurred.

Mary, Queen of Scots,

Mary, queen of Scots, was tall and
slender, but very graceful in all her &C
tons. Her face does not seem to have
been especially beautiful, for she had
rather irregular features, but her fas-
cination of manner was irresistible.
She had way Of cooking her head
little to one side and of looking side
talking that gave strong impression
of coquetry. She had very small hands
and feet and was fond of showing both,
often having her gowns shortened In
order that her feet might be seen. She
always had her own hair cut close and
wore wig to save the time and trou-
BILE of hairdressing.

STEPS TO HEAVEN.
The Legend of How Mount Omi's
Stairway Was Cut

The Legend of How Mount Omi,s,
Stairway Was Gut.
Mount Omi, on the border between
western China and Tibet, has the long
est staircase in the world On top Of
the mountain there stands Il Buddhist
temple, around which gather some of
the hottest traditions of that religion
and which is made a Mecca to the Chi
nese.
To facilitate the ascent of it's slippery
sides some 10000 steps have been cut
In the mountain, forming a single
flight, up which the pilgrim tolls.
Because of it's inaccessibility few Eu-
ropeans have ever visited the spot, but
a number Of travellers have assembled
the stairway and are positive that 1t Is
no legendary myth.
There is a legend that In earlier times
the pilgrim was forced to ascend the
mountain without artificial aids until
the monks conceived the plan of requir-
ing every pilgrim who would gain es-
pecial benefit of his journey to cut
single step.

BELONGS TO CUBA.
Status of Isle of Pines Defined by Sec.
retary Root.


Washington, Nov. 30.-Secretary of
State Root has replied by letter to the
request of Charles Raymond and other
Americans in the Isle of Pines for ad.
mission of the island as territory of
the United States. Secretary Root
says in the letter:
There Is no procedure by which
you and your associates can lawfully
establish territorial government in
that island. The island is lawfully
subject to the control and government
Of the republic of Cuba and you and
your associates are bound to render
obedience to the laws Of that country
SO long as you remain on the island.
If you fail in that obedience you will
justly be liable to prosecution in the
Cuban courts and to such punishment
as may be provided by the laws of
Cuba for such offense as you commit.
You are not likely to have any greater
power in the future

But Is Not Hurt.

Brooklyn, Nov. 30.-Although Mrs,
Annie O'Connor, seventy-five years old,
was run down by street car and car
ried on the fender for two miles she
was in no way injured. The district
