MARION WINS GAME.
Takes Last of the Series With the
 Score of to 0.

Auburn, April 6-(Special.) .)-Marion sprung a complete surprise on Auburn this afternoon by taking the last. game of the series and shutting the Polytechnic out with the score of to o.
 Marion played fine ball, but Auburn was ragged at times. Ferser. who was in the box for Marion, won the game. Au- burn could not solve his curves. He was hit only once in the game and that count ed for nothing. Ferser struck out twelve men and gave two bases on balls. He was decidedly the star in the game and several of the scores were due to his hits.
 The pitching for Auburn was done by Sullivan, an entirely new man. who showed good promise and struck out twelve men, but he allowed eight costly hits. which gave the game to Marion. Marion scored one in the second and fourth and two in the eighth.
 Batteries: For Marion. Fcrser and Ban- na; for Auburn, Sullivan and McLemore. Umpire. Bragg.

COM MENDED FOR
 WORK ON BACTERIA
DUNCAN WILL PREPARE ARTICLE ON LABORATORY WORK DONE
 BY THE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM
 AND FURNISH ILLUSTRATIONS
R. R. Y. M. c. A. BUILDl

Realizing the benefit that may be de-
 rived by the city from the investigations
 in bacteriology which he is conducting,
 F. N Duncan, city inspector of meats
 and milk, is devoting much time to this
 work and his efforts have not only been
 of service to the city health department
 but to many local physicians, who have called upon him for mcroscopical exam nations relative to diseases.
 The city has been liberal to this de- partment and MT, Duncan is well supplied with appliances for conducting examina-
 lions in meat and milk, as well as In
 analysing drinking water and diseased tissues. The work of this department has attracted attention elsewhere, for yesterday MT. Duncan received letter from the Municipal Journal and Engineer
 of New York City asking for a photo
 graph of his laboratory and article
 upon the methods of inspection and regu- lation of the city's meat and milk supply. The letter is as follows:
 New York, April ?, 1907. MT. E. N. Dunncan Bacteriologist and Chief Inspector, Birmingham. Ala Dear Sir: You may remember that last year during the convention of the Amer ican Society of Municipal Improvements in your city l visited your laboratory, which I found very interesting, and took the liberty of asking you to prepare for use for this journal a brief article de- scrbing your laboratory and methods or inspection and regulation of the city's meat and milk supply. l brought away the impression that you had consented to prepare such an article and beg to ask whether you cannot now find time to do l us this favor in time for an early issue of the paper If you could send plan or the laboratory and possibly photograph | of the same it would, l think add to the | interest of the artilce.
 1 Hoping that you can find the time for I this, we are yours very truly,
 A. PRESCOTT FoLWELL. Editor. | MT Duncan was yesterday engaged in
 making mlscoscopic examination for bac- 1 teria relative to Immigration by the city 1 health department He said that in some 1 cases physicians and health officers can | not be perfectly sure that their fumiga- ! tion in houses where contagious diseases occur is thorough until the microscope de termines the result of the application of l disinfectants. In the case on hand MT. ] Duncan showed that the dsnfection vas perfect, fof the samples of cloth Tom the disinfected room were shown to be perfectly free from bacteria and the house was, therefore, free from the effcts of l tn disease.
 ] MT. Duncan will prepare an article at | once for the Municipal Journal and En- 1 gineer and give Birmingham prominence ] in respect to safeguards for the health of l it's citizens.

FEAGlN NEVER MORE SURPRISED THAN WHEN SEIZED BY WOMAN PAST LIFE.

Judge Feagn never in all his days was
 so surprised as yesterday, He had just
 closed court for the afternoon when Desk
 Sergeant Shirley summoned him to see a

 No sooner had he stepped into the room
 than the woman had him by the hand,
 and was gushing forth his history. She was a palm reader seeking for permission to operate in Birmingham.
 This your left hand, is the register of the past and has special reference to your mental history. It tells what you

 and these the love affairs.
 There are four planets--Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars-and all of them have a di- rect bearing on your actions. Now, as l look back retrospectfully over your life I see that during your earlier years you
 worked hard with your hands. but that l as you grow old you begin to use your mlnd more, ana are more or thinking man.
 Twice in your line of destiny there ap- pear places of great success. You were either the recipient of great inheritance or a raise in salary.

 Desperate Break for
 Liberty.

Taliadega, April 6.-(Special)-The elec- tric light plant which has recently changed hands will be shut down for twenty days for permanent repairs. This will be a grave inconvenience to the citi- zens, but 1t is unavoidable, as the physi- cal condition of the plant is such that the purchasers find they cannot furnish service to the public that would be at all satisfactory. They propose to reno vate and rebuild the entire system, and to generate one thousand horsepower. Permission has been granted the com pany by the city council to close down for a period not longer than thirty days.
 At 3:9O Friday afternoon cyclone passed through the eastern payt of the city, coming from the southeast. In Ston- ingtons eastern edge fences and chim- neys were blown down, windows blown in and trees uprooted. The passing of the storm was unknown and unnoticed by the people on the public square, three blocks away, partly owing to the continuous roll of thunder and hard rainfall.
