 On learning of the disappearance of her child, Mrs. Nordan became so un- easy that she went to the gin house herself and found the body of her ybung son lifeless under a large bank of cotton. The little fellow. 1t was believed. had. gone, to the cotton to hide from his playmates and. sinking down through the great quantity of lint. he found himself helpless and died before assistance could reach him. When found life had apparent ly been extinct fully thirty minutes

3Finnegan'a Ball.o

"Finnegans Ball." the Irish farce which seems imbued with a perennial life, was again seen at the Montgom- cry Theatre last night. The perform ance was by no means the best the farce has had in this city.
 The difference between last night s performance and the best performance of the piece is largely due to the lack of stage accessories. The previous per formances were much better staged. The work of the principals last night was quite good, as good. perhaps, as anybody ever saw in "Finnegan' S Ball" But the company was much smaller and it carr.es very little scenery. The big chorus of other days was massing as well as ,ne stage set- tings for the three acts. The play Is old but 1t is still we'll stocked with laughs. The present company has not found it advisable 10 introduce any scenes. A few new specIalties are run in, however, and last night they pleased the audience
 Easily the best work of the evening was that of Dan Barrett as Timothy Finnegan. MT. Barret, wrung many a laugh out of his audience last night, more than anybody else could get. It was an old role he was in and local theatre-goers were ramfliar with it but they nevertheless laughed at the funny Irishman MT. Barrett showed.
 His side partner Connor Casey, done by William Gale, was sufficiently fun ny for all purposes. His comedy was only less funny than that of MT. Bar rett. Some nice character work was done by Thomas T. Shea as the tramp. nd Gibbons Widow Gal lagher.
 To lay credit where 1t belongs it should be said that the dancing was as neat as has been seen in q long time in Montgomery. Inc singing was fairly good, but the dancing was ex- cellent And in this line Misses Nor rison and Jerome easily excelled. A dancing duet by these two good look ing young women quite won the au- dience. The audience liked the. sing ing that was done.
 On the whole, however, the perform ance was not as complete and as fin ished as in some previous productions of the piece. The audience that saw it. was, in spite of the counter attrac- tions, good sized ono, put 1t did not fill the house.
 Helen Byron in sergeant Kitty" will be at the Theatre tonight.
 "Jesse James" at BijOu.
 Jesse James" was again produced at the Bijou last night. There is no room for argument over the proposi tion that a large per cent of the popu- lation likes melodrama. They may talk about it as much as they please but they like it nevertheless. The wild western drama, gives them all the excitement. all the gun shots and all the melodrama they are looking for. Jesse James" in his progress across the stage of the Bijou theatre. got no little applause as he did manslaughter through several acts.
 Jewell Kelley who roes the title role in the piece is an excellent character actor Nobody can doubt that after seeing his fine portrayal of the outlaw. Kelley made the outlaw live. act and have. his being to the complete satis- faction of the audience.
 Another stirring drama under the title of Tracy the Outlaw" will be

Modern Women, and was one of a
large family, mostly boys, all OF whom
were noted local baseball players.

were frequently required TO make up

his way she got such practice that she
equalled any OF them on the team.

The measurement was made by the
managers and several doubters. After
the exhibition they tried her as a
catcher, pitcner and batter, and she
could outplay them all.
Miss Reynolds is of medium height

Friday afternoon May 25 at the meet

Mrs c. n Keeney introduced the sub
ject of the afternoon with very fitting
remarks telling why we pause thus once
a year to honor the memory of our dead
Words Of tribute and esteem once given
f1r Mrs. Mary n. Hunt, who so recently
passed away at her home in Boston. II
was she who said over rs years ago
The star of Hope Of the temperance re-
form stands over the school house." and
she went at It with zeal to introduce
scientific temperance instruction into
every school in the United States by get
ing each state to adopt compulsory laws.
This she accomplished Two years age
Georgia, the last state adopted such laws.
As we look at the stupendous fact that in
the short space Of twenty years nation
Of eighty millions of people we're led to

Susan B Anthony is another of those
who began the crusade against evil years
ago, and perhaps OF all she espousei the
most unpopular reform. Men and wom-

and through the press, for her stand for
womans rights, but she died with the
knowledge of the confession from many
if not all Of them, that her aim and the
results of her efforts had enobled human

A Glimpse of he Arch ofPeace.

During the civil war it SO happened thai
two opposing armi we're encamped fol-
the night on opposite banks of a river anc
as the right closed around them, the
bands of our northern army began Elay-
ing the Star Spangled Banner The
southern army answered with Dixie's
Land. Other patriotic tunes were rem
dered but the southern army only respond
ed with Dixes Land. At length the
northern army started the opening strains
Of Home, Sweet Home, and were imme-
diately joined by band and voices from the
other Shore every voice responding in per-
harmony and the great soul of our country
breathed with the inspiration of love Of
home"
Mrs. Ruth Ellis Of this city, after read
ing the above quotation few years age
sat down and wrote the following stanzas
which we gladly publish:
When the civil war was raging between the
north and south,
When hearts beneath the blue and gray, de-
fled the lannon's mouth,
Each steadfast in their purpose, each be-
lleved their cause was right,
Brothers, in great republic, gainst each
other brought to fight.
BY silent, flowing river were encamped
the boys in blue,
Just across the starlit water shone the
southern camp fire too.
Heavy hearts and homesick faces watched
the river flowing by
Hearts resentful towards their brothers.
either side must win or die.
Only the river dividing hearts that we're
strong and true.
Softly the silvery moonlight shone Ger the
gray and the blue.
Night spreads her glistening mantle alike
in peace and in war,
The river flows silently onward, past the
armies encamped on the shore.
Then from Ger the water floated strains
the blue coats loved to swell,
Patriotic songs Of freedom, we'll the north
ern purpose tell.
Then they listen for the answer, quick re-
spends the southern band,
And the boys in blue are listening to the
strains of Dixie's Land.
Back and forth the music floated Ger the
rivers shining strand,
But TO every Yankee measure, they re-
sponded, Dixe's Land
All Now a song has reached their hearts,
swiftly tender memories come,
Two great armies, strife forgotten, join in
dear old Home, Sweet Home.
Only the river dividing hearts now longing
for peace,
Tired OF battle and bloodshed praying at
last for release,
Softly the ripping waters watt the sweet
melodious tone,
And the blue and the gray are all brothers
longing for Home, Sweet Home.
