DixIe's Land.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press
 This is given as historically correct: "Dixie's Land was the land of milk and honey for American negroes. Dixie was a shareholder of Manhattan Island, who removed his slaves to the southern states. where they had to work harder and fare worse; so that they were al- ways signing for their old home. which they called 'Dixie's Land Imagination and distance soon advanced Manhattan Island into a sort of Delectable Country or Land of Beulah.''
 Now, who believes such a tale? Manhat- tan Island "Dixie's Landr' What says the song? There are so many different variations of the words that all the thrashing out we have given them in the last half century has failed to produce a satisfactory original. There is no sort of literary merit in General Pike's ver~ sion One thing, however, seems pretty well settled, namely: Dixie is a north ern air and a negro melody. Dan Emmett may have been the first white man to dress it up The words may have re- ferred to man of the name of Dix (ancestor of Dr. Morgan Dix, maybe), or Dixy. who owned slaves on Manhat- tan Island. Pike's song is a call to arms. NOtnlnR Ol Sucn d cdll III lue OIlSlndl words. Here is verse Pike never dreamed of:
 Dixie Land is a land of cotton,

''when will Bruner pitch?"

''When will Bruner pitch?"
 telegram from Meridian brought this Inquiry yesterday at noon.
 Manager Vaughn replied: Tomorrow. Come over"
 Baseball spirit, 1t Is thus seen, in spite of the fact that the season In the Cot ton States league is at an end, Is still green in Meridian. It was stated that a detailed account of the game in which Bruner figures will be taken in Meridian, and that in addition several of the most fanatical of the White Ribbon City's fans will visit Birmingham on that occasion. Nowhere Is baseball more alive than In Mississipprs biggest town.
 Bruner did not show up yesterday. He is expected in today, and he will be used in the second game of the doubleheader this afternoon against Memphis.
 Just at the time when the manager of the Mobile team notified Manager Vaughn that his terms for a post-season cham pionship series were accepted, the cor respondent of a New Orleans paper furn- ished his sheet with story to the effect that the games had been called off.
 President Baugh stated last evening that he had heard nothing of this. The report is evidently untrue as nothing off clal has been said to the local manage ment.
 Unless further information is obtained the Barons will leave for Mobile Tuesday evening, and will play the first two games of the series on Wednesday and Thurs day. The last two will be played in Bir-

End Draws Near.

After the doubleheader this afternoon the season, the most dismal of the year, when the diamond warriors hang up their togs for the moths of winter, and rack their good sticks until the coming of an- other spring, is but one mile post away.
 The last of the yellowing leaves will fall to the ground with a gentle shudder and feeble futter in the breath of the wind immediately after the last man is out in the ninth inning Saturday after noon. The end draws near. and the fans, with one accord, give the good season farewell, with regrets.
 Three games will be played with Little Rock the weather man permitting. Of that number 1t Is a practical cinch that the Barons will win two. It Is a coinci- dent that the last series of the season is played between the strongest and the weakest But at any rate the fans will flock to the grounds to behold the sea son In it's last throes. and to witness the end of all things.
 There will be no flag raising, but much rejoicing, at any rate.

mingham has three. This is a record to be proud of.
 Wilhelm has established mo hit. nc run, no man on base record" Clark work ed out a one hit game against Little Rock, as did salee. Wilhelm pitched a one hit game against New Orleans. These are the records of the pitchers. Wilhelm s remarkable record, that referred to above, was equalled by Fisher of Shreveport, and approached by Suggs of Memphis. No pitcher in the Southern league, other than three of the Baron twirlers, has worked out a one hit game.
 Wilhelm established record for the fastest game in the Southern league, he having defeated New Orleans, giving them single hit, in the remarkable time of one hour On the afternoon pre- vious, Sallee lost a game to New Or leans in one hour and four minutes, these two games being the fastest played this season.
 After Fisher equalled and Suggs approx imated the pace set by Little Eva he should have turned to them. after winning a game in one hour, allowing his op- ponents but one hit, and said:
 There, gentlemen, come again."
 The good thing about 1t all, is that it is very probable that Harry Vaughn will have the same quartette of twirlers an other season.
 Wilhelm and Ragan will return, it is a practical certainty. In spite of the re- port that Clark had worked in his last Southern league game, Manager Vaughn is authority for the statement that the pitcher has given him no such intimation. Sallee has been drafted by the New York Highlanders, but it Is almost certain that he will wear Baron uniofrm when next the season comes round.
 Therefore, it is probable that Birming- ham will win still another pennant!

DoubIe-Header Today.

But both men agreed to do good by the fans. A doubleheader was arranged. Babb is thus given an opportunity to cinch his postion-and to lose it. The first game will be called at o'clock. suggs will represent the Memphii, while the "roaring'' MT. Ragan will work for the Barons The second game will be called a few minutes after the conclusion of the first. Laird will probably work for the visitors
 Manager Vaughn will send Bruner to the slab. In case the Cotton States twlrler reports out of sorts Wilhelm will be given the task of beating the men of Babb. In that case Bruner will be the eye opener in the first game of the last series of the season which will be played tomorrow between the pennant winners of the league on the one hand and the tailenders of the subway on the other.

All hands stood idly around yesterday afternoon and saw Jupe Pluvius walk away with the honors.
 The rain fell in torrents. and completely swept away the plans for the day, as well as the tracks of "Dad" Cook at the ball park.
 Manager Babb he of Memphis, did not know whether to frown or smile, with the result that he alternatvely did both. He figured on defeating the Barons and gain ing sold hold on second place. The smile was prompted, however, when the thought struck him that Ragan might have defeated his men which result would have brought the Bremen up to his level
 So after all he did not care much. Manager Vaughn did no great amount of complaining, on his own part, for an- other victory would have done little good, and a defeat does not go well just at this time.

The DRAINAGE BILL
COMBINATION OF NORTH AND
SOUTH FOR MEASURE.
North Dakota Will Derive Direct Ben
eft for the Red River Valley Coun-
ties-other Section That Will Re-
ceive Benefits.

Washington, June 15.-By a COM
bine between northern and southern
members interested in federal drain
age the committee on public lands OF
the house of representatives late last
evening decided to report out bills fav-
orable to these propositions
First-Federal drainage for the ced-
ed Indian lands In the state of Min
nesota under such rites and regula-
tions as may be prescribed by the sec
retary of the interior.
Second Federal drainage for ten
counties in North Dakota as provided
and appropriating $1.O00,000 from
sales of public lands for this purpose,
the same to be reimbursable.
Third Federal drainage of the big
dismal swamp of Virginia and North
Carolina and appropriating $1,000,000
from the irrigation fund for that pur-
pose.
In making these reports the COM
mittee reversed the report of the Mon
dell subcommittee which had been
submitted early in the day and de-
cided that federal drainage was a
question to be dealt with now rather
than to await departmental delays.
1t was not expected that any such
bill could be passed or gotten out OF
the committee at this session.
1t took eight years to pass irrigation
and the report in favor of the Mime
sofa bill in spite of the attitude of the
commissioners of the general land
Office and some members of the public
lands committee shows the result oi
hard and intelligent work.

Summary of Letter on
Packing House Bill
OBJECTIONS TO The MEASUAA
PRESIDENT EXPLAINS IN A LET
TER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE WHY
THE BILL, AS AMENDED, is UN-
SATISFACTORY.

Washington, June Is. Secretary
Loeb today gave out the following
summary of the letter President
Roosevelt wrote to Chairman Wads-
worth of the house committee on agri-
culture, disappearing of that commit
tees substitute for the Beveridge
amendment to the agricultural bill,
regarding the inspection of meat pro-
ducts.
In a letter to Chairman Wadsworth
President Roosevelt stated that al
most every change in the proposed
house amendment was a change for
the worse as compared with the senate
amendment and that no matter how
unintentionally, it was, in the presi-
dents judgment so framed as to
minimize the chance of roofing out
the evil in the packing business.
The president felt it would doubt
less suit these packers who objected
to thorough inspection but that he
also felt it would in the long run
be a heavy blow to the honest stock
raisers and the honest packers.
That the proposed amendment
would greatly hamper the secretary
of agriculture in doing the work ap-
pointed him to do and would simply
defer the day when we could restore
the foreign and Interstate trade on
meat to satisfactory position.
The president has explained verb
ally that he is far less concerned
with the question as to whether the
packers or the government should pay
for the inspection than with certain
other features in the bill.

Washington, June 15.-Senator Nor
gan expressed an opinion in the sem
ate today that the Panama canal will
prove paying investment. The
statement was made in connection
with the reading of a letter written
him by Gen. George w. Davis concern
ing the profitable character of the
Suez canal In that letter General
Davis said that the stock of the Suez
canal enterprise commands a prem
ium of 900 per cent on the Paris
bourse.
Let us get rid Of the idea that we
are going to give away great deal of
money in connection with the canal
said Morgan. II believe that if it were
a stock concern the stock would be
worth $500 on the 800 within a few
years after its completion.

Jews Massacred in Russia
for Mad Act OF an Anarchist

BiaIystok, Russia, June 15.-So far
as can be ascertained thirty Jews
were killed during yesterdays out
break.
The hospitals are filed with the
wounded but it is impossible to as
certain the correct number of the cas-
ualties as many of the injured are
hidden in private houses.
All the Jewish shops on four prin-
cipal streets were sacked. The mill
tary and the police patrols are now
on the streets and no civilians are al
lowed to leave their houses.
A sort of armed truce has been es-
tablished pending the complete
restoration of order.
