 Washington, D. C., Feb. g, 1906 The Age-Herald, Birmingham, Ala.
 Gentlemen-We have decided to accept the proposition made us last month tn dispose of the Messages and Papers of the Conferedaoy,'' to a coterie of the most prominent southern OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES among the number. Nothing but the im- mense number of sets involved induced us to accept the offer. The first cost of the book was very large. Extreme care was used in its production even after it was compiled-as an instance-it was proof read nine times to insure excluding tho most minute errors.
 Not a set has been sold except in cases of small discount for cash for less than S in cloth or s11 in half leather binding since the work was Issued last year.
 This work stand unique among books in as much as 1t has had no predecessor has no competitor and cannot possibly have a successor. Yet 1t covers most vital and interesting points in southern history. It is the only book ever pun- lished as private enterprise under reso- luton of Congress.
 The public in your section should cer- fafV At,tA 4..t4 eagerly grasp the temporary opportunity you offer them to obtain this work We can absolutely guarantee that they will never have a similar chance. Yours very truly,
 BUREAU OF NATIONAL LITERA-
 TURF AND ART.

There Is no man better known to the Tennessee public than James D. Rich ardson, former congressman from the Fifth Tennessee district, and his position as democratic leader on the floor of tho National House of Representatives made him familiar figure throughout the country. Some years ago MT. Richard son compiled the semi-off1cial work known as Messages and Documents of the President which, because of the data it contained and the excellent man. ner of the compilation, was a valuable addition to the United States history. He has now produced another book of similar character, which, though less voluminous, will be of equal value with his former pointed interest, as it covers an acute period in the history of the nation con corning which historical accuracy is very essential
 MT. Richardson's latest production is Messages and Papers of the Confeder, acy." The title suggests the scope of the work. It is the compilation in printed form of all the official papers of the Con- federate government which fell into the hands of the Federal authorities after the southern armies had evacuated Richmond. Comment Is unnecessary to suggest the historical value of such a work and its great usefulness to those who have not the means. leisure or inclination to search through files of musty papers in the archives at Washington.
 The work includes the constitution of the Confederate states and the recorded proceedings of the provisional Congress at Montgomery, as we'll as the messages of the President and other official papers throughout the life of the Confederate government.
 A very important feature Is the diplo- matic correspondence, which shows, among other things, the efforts made by the Confederate government to obtain re- cognition from the European nations.
 The book is complete in two volumes of convenient library size and handsome ly bound in red cloth, with gilt lettering. Each volume Is embellished with four illustrations The first presents the Con- federate capitol at Montgomery as a

 Sam Weeks won the game yesterday with poor fielding but todays game was won by good all around playing. Young Weems of Auburn and Johnson of the visitors, both pitched fair ball. Cumber- lands catchers and infelders made sev- eral costly errors and allowed Auburn's score to run up. Hall and Alexander made the only two-baggers in the game.

Delehanty was also considered the best sun fielder who ever performed on the local lot.
 Griffith is considered one of the best rieht-handers in the game today. Small in physique and frail appearing, on the slab he is not impressive until he begins operations on the opposing team.
 Griffith is a master student of the bats uen's weaknesses. and his control of the hcrsehide has been marvellous in the major leagues for the past twelve sea sons.
 The fifth exhibition game between the New York American league representa- tives and the local aggregation was post poned on account of weather conditions and will take place Thursday afternoon if the rain holds up. This is the last week of Mir Grfhths team in Birming- ham, and three games will be played 1T possible before the New Works departure.

 In the game tomorrow Birmingham will send to the firing line Pitchers Wilhelm. Sallee and Hickman while New York will present Whalen the Pacific slope wonder. Frank Noodles" Hahn, formerly considered the best living left-hander, and Griffith himself. Many of the rank and file of local fans are not aware that Vaughan and his sturdy band are slowly rounding into shape.
 Without pretension Birmingham can safely lay claim to the most powerful pitching corps in the Southern circuit Not since the days of Frank Smith, Billy Campbell and Wilhelm has such an i'm posing array of slab artists appeared in the local makeup. Hickman has been a finished minor league pitcher for two seasons. and not at all the experiment. that many fans have supposed. His su- perh work for Denver throughout last season stamps him as a high-cass per former. Reagan with good health, Gin ger" Clark and Sallee are well known locally as to ability, while the pernicious policy long followed by the Boston Ma tional league club trumvrate is directly responsible for the acquisition of Wilhelm to the Birmingham team.
 Local fans can rest assured that their old star has not gone back as the Bos- ton club owners just now are far more interested in the financial returns rom his sale to Birmingham than in the re tention of sterling players. Billiard Is showing up well.

EIGHT ROUNDS TO DRAW.
Gardner and Dougherty Put Up a
 Pucky Fight at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee. Wis, March 27-Jimmy Gardner of Lowell and Jack Dougherty of Milwaukee fought eight rounds to a draw at the Badger Athletic club tonight Gardner had a shade the best of the bout up to the end of the seventh round, and had Dougherty bleeding badly from the nose from the second round.
 In the eighth round both boys fought fiercely from start to finish, Dougherty delivering a succession of rights and lefts to head and jaw while Gardner pummeled away with right and left to body The Milwaukee boy had decidedly the better of the final round, and evened up any short-coming in the previous rounds. Gardner proved himself more clever in covering up and in feet work The decision was well received.

ANOTHER GAME THURSDAY

Frank Delehanty. erstwhile Baron, joined the New York club yesterday after noon and is now safely in the High landers' camp.
 It will be recalled by local fans that Delehanty is the last member of the New York team to report. He held off for quite a while, in the hope of inducing the local association to share the purchase price of his release with him. It is possi- ble that he foresaw his case was hopeless, hence he jumped into the band wagon at the last minute.
 Delehanty was developed solely in the

 Process Server Testifies.
 Max Palmedo, who has served all the processes and subpoenas in the action, went on the stand and told of some of the difficulties he had encountered in his task.

 On cross-eXamination Palmedo said that in addition to salary and expenses, he had received some money from news e.. &f l, ,fe paria in attempting to serve subpoenas
 We have brought out this fact" said MT. Hagerman of Standard oil counsel ito show that there has been lot of grandstanding and advertising about this. and lot of sensationalism. We could even read it away out in Kansas City.
 "The only sensationalsm there has been in this case has been the sensa- tional attempts of these witnesses to evade service of subpoenas," interjected MT. Hadley.
 Palmedo said he was still engaged in trying to serve sLbpoenas upon John D. Rockefeller and others.
 Letters to counsel for the defense by MT. Hadley asking the witnesses to ap- pear voluntarily and accept service, were introduced in evidence together with sim liar letters addressed to each witness in cludng John D. Rockefeller.
 Attorney General Hadley then an nounced the conclusion of the taking of testimony under Commissioner Sanborn He requested the commissioner to send the signed testimony to the supreme court of Missouri with the comimsson- CTS certification attached.
