Miss Rosabelle Christian made a pretty, as well as appropriate choice for her party this evening when sne chose butterflies for her decorations for this has indeed been a butterfly season. If the bee ever had an in- ming she had long since hid her dimin- ished head and left the paths clear for the gayly tinted, happy, fluttering thing that makes a play ground Of the world, and is called by mortals debutarte. A number of this human species fluttered in at Miss Christians invitation this evening, and there were also quantities of others used for pure- ly decorative purposes, and which, with brilliant red and yellow wings hovered among the flowers and evergreens that filled the rooms. The score cards, too, were hand-raintcd butterflies, and the prizes carried out the same conception, e butterfly brooch for the ladies, a butterfly stick pin for the men, and for the two consolation prizes, fancy pfh-cushion and a whist-broom holder. with butterfly handle.

A good many questions having been
asked in connection with the wonderful
performance given by Madame Andre at
the Bijou theatre, an Age-Herald repre-
sentative asked Mr.. Andre to give an ex-
PLANTATION of the great mystery His reply
was as follows:
"Spiritualists aver that Madame Andre
is no more or less than a spirit medium.
while others assert that she is possessed
of remarkable gift. which, although
quite natural. is exceptionally developed
in her case, as being a woman of high
intellectual attachments and of a highly
sensitive nature
Along this line the question of brain
waves also comes In the explanation Of
such phenomena was recently dealt with
in an article published by the Manchester
Courier, paper dealing largely with
this subject. They speak ais follows:
1.-THE success of Sgnor Marconi's ex-
periments in wireless biography has sus-
gested that many of the things which are
not dreamt of in our philosophy may be
but manifestations of similar kind. Mr..

tury'' reprints a letter which he for
warded to the Spectator. thirty years

there happens to be a recipient whose

may be admitted at once that there Is
nothing impossible in the supposition. In

to account for the phenomena In ques-

the atoms of matter are but portions of
ether so specialized by vibration or os-
cillation as to possess an individuality of
their own, is not yet disproved, and leads
much further in the same direction than
even Mr.. Knowles has ventured to sug-
eest. 1t would, for instance, account for
the fact that certain emotions may be
excited by sights. sounds or smells, when

New Type of Female Drummer Has
Struck Denver.

From the Denver Republican.
There have been drummers of the fe-
male persuasion in Denver before, but
Miss Sally Whitaker of st. Louis is the
first of the family" that ever struck
town selling heavy hardware. Heavy
hardware is made up of ugly pieces of
steel and long strips of steel. and chunks
of iron and the like. Miss Sally Whitaker
thinks there is nothing quite so cute as
heavy hardware. She just loves it. She
says so herself. She would rather sell a
man seven carloads of heavy hardware
than go to the SWEETEST function in her
home town, in the SWEETEST gown that the
SWEETEST modiste in town could make.
Miss Sally makes this remarkable state

ham has a decisive advantage in hav-
ing more games at home, and fewer on
the road than have the Pencans. Birming-
ham has thrty-four more scheduled
games for the slagpile, and only twenty
four on the road. New Orleans has those
figures exactly reversed. In other words,
Birmingham goes west but once again,
and New Orleans twice more invades the
east. To judge concerning the probable
outcome of these two invasions, it will
be necessary to go back just trifie. On
the first invasion of the west, Birming-
ham Jared disastrously. When next the
Barons went into the west, however,
brilliant record was made, the locals re-
turning home with half of their games
won. When the Pelicans came into the
east for the first and only time this sea-
son, they Jared disastrously, as badly, in
other words as did the Barons In the
west on the first trip. They come east
twice again. and the Barons only once
more go into the wild and uncut.
Spirit and Mette.
Concerning the spirit and mettle of the
two aggregations, little is known of the
men headed by Frank. But as for the
Barons, 1t is positive that no internal
friction exists. that the men are knitted
together by tho warmest friendship, that
they play together like clock work, and
that they are welded to Manager Harry
Vaughn. This Is known, too; the Barons
have just reached their stride, due TO
the fact that 1t takes a longer time for
older heads to get warmed up, as 1t were.
and are now playing better article of
ball than at any previous time this sea-
son.
From this summary of things and
conditions" it will be seen that Birming-
hams chances to land the rag, or in
other words to finish ahead of the Pei
leans, are exceedingly good. In case moth
ing contrary to law, or baseball rules
and regulation, takes place, Frank will
have to make his next two lines of march
through the east one continuous victory
to down the lusty Barons. The fans are
behind the locals, and If the day is not
won, then the good reason therefor will
be most patent.

BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

| ly and the fans throughout the circuit
nave for the two aggregatlons are the
chief factors to be considered.
1t is admittedly true that Birmingham
and New Orleans are represented on the
diamond by two magnificent aggregations.
At present the pitching staff of the Ba-
rons is superior to that of the Pelicans,
in spite Of the fact that Breitenstein, Phil
lips Manuel and Guese are worthy expo
nents of the art of twirlng. In case Frank
acquires the services of Barley Dygert
or Hahn, as 1t is intimated that he will,
his staff may be bettered to that extent
that 1t will be superior to the Barons.
But right now, with Wilhelm, Clark,
Raglan and Sallee. the locals believe that
the Pelicans are outclassed. Matthews and
Garvin behind the bat are better than
Stratton, and are better than Stratton
and Bird. If 1t is afterwards determined
to employ the two. On first, Meeks pos
sibly cannot play as brilliant fielding
game as can o Brien, nor can he get over
ground as rapidly. But when hitting is
considered, Meeks is as much the su-
perior of the Pelican first baseman as
Gotch is the superior of Tom Griffin. On
second, Walters Is a better all-round and
more stable man than Cargo, in spite of
the fact that the Pelican may be con-
sidered faster, and harder hitter. If Atz
can excel Oyler in the field or with the
stick, then Jakey has been materially
: bettered since last he appeared beneath
the slagpile. Brouthers excels Montgom-
cry in the matter of fielding, but the hit
ting pace set at present by the local third
sacker will rank him as high as Brouth-
ers, at least, and probably higher.
The Companion.
Therefore, 1t is seen that the Pelcans
have absolutely nothing in the way of SUI
periorlty over the men of Harry Vaughn.
In the outfield. 1t is not cared If Frank
imports the Highlanders to Dixie, the
locals will contend that Wordsworth, Gear
and Smith, either in the field or at ehe
stick, are not exeelled by any other trio.
Rickert and Knoll are stars unquestion-
ably, and Blake is far from bad, but If
that outfeld has anything on the Barons
, then 1t is not patent In Alabama.
