Warrant Was Amended.

Tn police court this morning, the case against Arthur Banks was heard. Banks is the negro who, one night about two weeks ago, is alleged to have cut another negro named Lee Jackson, in front of the negro pool room in Hogan's Alley. between Broad and Washington Streets. The warrant against Banks charged Jhim with as- sault with intent to murder, but after all of the testimony had been intro- duced, the attorney for the defendant argued that the State had not proven its case, inasmuch as 1t had failed to show whether the knife with which the wound had been inflicted was a lethal weapon.
 The warrant was then amended to the charge of assault and battery and Banks was fined $25 or fifty days upon the streets. Lee Jackson had also been arrested upon a warrant sworn out by Banks for assault and betery, but the evidence submitted that Banks had been the aggFessor and the case against him was dismissed.
 In the court there was also tried case against a negro doman named Lucy McCann. The womah had been employed by a white family and had only been working around the house for fifteen minutes when she stole skirt shirst waist and a pair of gold spectacles. She was fined $45 or nine ty days on the streets.

New York. Dec. G.-Figures giving the average cost of living as of De- cember 1, compiled by R. G. Dun & Co. show that thore has been a mar ket advance in price as compared with November 1, when it reached high water mark.
 In the lapse of one month the cost of living has advanced from $106.6S to $10S17, reached on December l The cost of commodities is the highest since February, 1884.
 in discussing the subject the trade authority says the rise in prices is fairly representative of the greater demand that has followed increased prosperity throughout the nation and because of the advance in wages which have lifted the purchasing power of the people above all previous records in this, or in any other nation.

A NEW BALL LEAGUE
SELMA PEOPLE FIGURING WITH
 KNOXVILLE MAN.
The Proposed Circuit win Cont4in in Addition to Named Towns, Chat tanooga, Rome, Huntsville
 and AnnistOn.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Dec. 6.
 It now begins to look as if the pro- posed Alabama-Tennessee Baseball League will be go and that when the baseball season opens next spring that the league will be ready for business
 Lem Bailey of Selma and r. H. Moi fett of Knoxville, Tenn, have been working upon the forming of the league for several weeks and things are now getting in such shape that they believe that they can see daylight ahead.
 If organized. the league will be a six-club one, and will be organized somewhat after the organization of the Southern League. 1t will be formed of cities which have not had baseball for several years, and there seems to be litle doubt but that the game will be literally patronized in all of the cities in which 1t is proposed to place a club. To a certain extent, the cir- cult will also be a compact one, and there will be no long jumps for the clubs to make.
 With the right kind of encourage ment, 1t is proposed Co form the league with clubs in Chattanooga and Knox vile, Rome, Huntsville, Anniston and Selma In all six of these cities there tS 6ASeAA AkA&~ASH& &&hCH All AhS SAkAAGS and the forming of the league would develop considerable more interest. Chattanooga and Knoxville, the two biggest towns of the circuit have been wanting organized baseball for several years. TAey have had no club for a long while and considerable interest Is being taken in the organization of the league in those cities.
 In a letter which Bailey received from Moffett a few days ago the latter stated that Chattanooga, Knoxville, Rome and Huntsville could be counted upon as going into the league if it was formed. Selma can also be counted upon, and the necessary money to finance club could be raised within a very short time. This leaves but one city, Aniston, in doubt. Whether that city would want a franchise in the league Is not known, but a club there would break long jump between Sel- ma and Rome, If Anniston will not go in the organization, 1t Is thought that there will be no trouble in putting in a club in another North Alabama city.
 Both Bailey and Moffet feel sure that the new league will be organized Ahd will be ready for business when the baseball season opens up. They are working hard upon the project and meeting may be called within the next few weeks, when permanent organt- zation will be formed.

 New York, Dec 6--New York coffee houses, among them, Arbuckle Broth- CTS and Crossman and Sielcken, are making arrangements to finance a sec- ond part of a Brazilian coffee yaloriza- ton loan.
 The loan will be fioated early ie January and will amount to 15,000, 900, of which the New York houses will take third. the remainder will be ts- ken principally, as was the case with the other oan, by coffee ouses in Havre and Hamburg.
 The valorization plan calls for loans aggregating $70,000.00O. The first loan was for $20,000.00O.
 It is the object of the valorization plan to take so much of the crop as will bring the market price up to the level of prifitable production.

THE MEN OF THE NAVY.

The report that more than 90 per cent of the
enlisted men of the navy are native born Amer
lean citizens will be received with little sur
prise and much qualification, and may encourage
hope for the fulflment Of the prediction that In
the near future all men in that service Will be or
that description. There has been widespread
impression that considerable proportion of the
men, perhaps from fourth to third. were
of alien birth, and it Ia known that in some
other navies, notably the British. such condl-
tions prevail to an extent which causes some
disau,etude to critical observers. OF course. 1t
goes without saying that all men in the navy
should be citizens of the United States. 1t is not
so essential that they should be native born ctl-
zens but It is desirable, partly because Of the
character and quality of the men thus assured
to the service and partly to have service which
appeals successfully to the best classes of the
population
The conditions Of life and work in the navy
have changed greatly within the memory OF
men now living. Formerly, in a wooden sail
ing vessel, or in one with sails and auxiliary
steam power. such prevailed down to gen
Grafton ago, the enlisted men were sailors III
the old meaning of the word. Their work was
largely done in climbing rggings and manipu-
lating sails. Now the ship is a floating machine
Of metal. instinct with steam and electricity,
and the crew is composed Of mechanics. en-
gneers and electricians. There is q vast diff
ference between working on the topmast and
in the stokehole. In each there is some fas-
cination, and In each there are great hard
ships. 1t is gratifying to know that present
day conditions are at least as attractive as
those of old, and that native born American cit
iZens, who seek and who deserve the best classes
OF employment can be found to fill all the places
in the navy.
1t ought always to be so. and the naval ser
vice ought to be favorte resort of men Of
character and worth. The enlisted man should
be able to feel that-like the recruit In the
French or German army-he will be better
man, morally. mentally and physically at the
end Of his term of service than he was at the be-
ginning. His mechanical education and training,
the discplning OF his mind and disposition
and the experience and observation of the
world which he acquires should all be of last
ing value to him. There no worthier repre-
sentatives of the best type Of American man.
