at Little Rock yesterday afternoon.
 Atlanta is clearly in the lead of the League this morning.
 That is certainly a pretty race for the lead in the American League be- tween Philadelphia and Chicago The Phillies are ahead this morning be- cause 1t was too cold to play in the Windy City.
 We can console ourselves by imagin- ing what we would have done to the Dobbers if 1t hadn't rained.
 The Boston and New York clubs of the National League had no game scheduled for yesterday, but they will meet again today.
 Not a single change in the order of standing of the National League clubs as result of yesterdays games.
 Beastly weather they have in Nash vile. doncherknow.
 That must have been a pretty go at Atlanta.
 Not single shut-out yesterday in the National, American or Southern Leagues.
 The rest ought to do Malarkys men good, and put them in great shape for today's contest. No games were played yesterday in the Cotton States League. It rained there. too. Mullaney won by a close margin al Macon yesterday afternoon. The South Atlantic clubs are pretty | we'll punched this morning. Savannah | still leads. Quite damp yesterday In many places | There were a buunch of disappointed fans.

Wants Team Improved.

Sporting Editor The Advertiser:
 Now that our ball team has taken the road for long trip I would like to indulge in a little dope for the benefit of those left behind and posst bie benefit for the team itself and the name 1t bears. As a matter of interest and success we want and must have a winning team for Montgomery. We have pretty fair starter in this direc- ton and are still improving as I see from your paper. but we do not not want win and above all live ball players on the field, Life is the essense of the game The dead ones must be weeded out. The manager should enthuse life in his team and encourage them at all stages. Every man should talk when on the field.
 I see Beacher goes to New Orleans: now Is the time for Montgomery to get Brouthers; he is live one and would like to be with Montgomery and with Baxter on first, Perry second ; Ball short and Brouthers third. there would be an infield worthy for any one to go up against. The outfield is now pretty good but could be strength

voitaire One to Whom Original Honor
 Was Paid.

At the first performance in Berlin of Gerhart Hauptmanns "Jungfrau von Bischofsberg' the author was re- peatedly called before the curtain, and the incident caused inquiry as to when and where the practice of honor ing an author in that way originated. The Berliner Tageblatt gives this an swer: The first call took place on the evening of February 26, 1743, On that memorable evening Voltaire's 'Merope was performed for the first time in Paris. The author was known to the Paris public, but nothing that they had seen of him had pleased them so much as 'Merope,' and the en- thusiasm found expression in noisy demands to see the author. In letter Votaire says this of the incl dent: They dragged me out and led me by force to the box occupied by the Duchesse de Villars and her daughter-in-law. The whole theatet seemed to have gone mad-all shout ed to the duchesse to kiss me. The noise became so great that the lady finally obeyed So I was like Alain Chartier, publicly kissed, but he was asleep, while I was wide awake Now authors answer similar calls by ap- bearing before the curtain. They gain insofar that they can be seen better by their audience, but they must dis pense with the duchess kiss-at least in public"

INHERITANCE OF THE DOG.
Some Breeds Are Born With Strong
 Friendship for Man.

By the environment of his fOrbears for generations back you may know the dog. An Eskimo or sledge dog or Chinese chow chow could never create the deep friendship that a deerhound or an English sheep dog or collie or bulldog or a terrier is capable of inspiring.
 Years before any of us were thought of the sledge dog was beast of bur den, tolerated because human lives depended on his motor" power, be- grudged the necessary wherewithal to keep his machinery" in good order and treated not as companion but as pariah and as a brute without feel ing, without thought, without hope.
 How expect a descendant of these half starved, cuffed and buffeted ami mals not to shrink from the uplifted hand and treat with suspicion all friendly overtures? All man has done for him and his forbears has been to play the brute and make life a weary bondage
 And in all parts of the globe where the struggle for life is most desper- ate and people, according to our esti- mate, are brutes or semi or whole savages, so are the dogs of that peo- pie.
 Persian wolfhounds, chow chows, "dingoes' in the wilds of Australia, Tibet mastiffs, all more or less dread man, who many years ago beat them into subjection, not affection

 Do gather" said the young man, that I am to be cast into outer dark. ness because you saw me walking down the street with another girl whose hair happened to be blonde?"
 "W-w-well." wept the girl in pink. ''it goes deeper than that! That sounds so-so simple! It shows how dangerously clev-clever you are! suppose you have been telling me lots of things all along that weren't any more true than that! Of course it is true that you were walking down the street with girl-but that doesn't express the additional fact that you were heaming with joy and were posi- lively sil-silly!

SkiIlful European Horsemen.

Gen. Louis Berta, inspector of cal vary in the Italian army, is one of the finest horsemen in Europe The general has trained man and horse to negotiate serious obstacles and to ar rive at such a pitch of perfection that there is hardly any obstacle which cannot be overcome
 Chief among these conquered diff culties are the now famous "glis- sades,' or slides down steep slopes made with such astonishing success by the Cavalry School of Tor de Quinto at Rome After having excited the wonder and applause of all sports men. civil and military, these glis. sades have taken their place among the regulation exercises of foreign cavalry schools.
 Not only does the general himself perform the glissades which he has thus made so popular and important a part of his system but he has a daughter. Mile. Inez Berta, an accom- plished horsewoman, who can do the glissades as we'll as her father or any cavalryman in the Italian army.

ARTICLES LOST AT SEA.
Hats and Other Wearing Apparel Per
 quisites for Neptune.

Did you ever speculate on what be- comes of the hats and other articles of wearing apparel that find their way into the sea from the steamers that are constantly plying back and forth? Hardly ship steams from one port to another without somebody's hat or boa or shawl blowing overheard. Thou sands of them have been lost that way and scarcely a single one has been recovered. They are dashed to bits by the waves, blown to shreds and otherwist destroyed.
 But once in a blue moon a hat does come back to land, as in the case not long ago when large fish was caught. In cleaning it a woman's hat, almost intact, was found in the stomach of the denizen of the deep. There is reason to believe that this bit of fem mine wearing apparel had not lodged very long in its curious resting place, for even fish is not proof against indigestion or it's equivalent when it comes to eating straw braid, feathers and flowers. This hat has been pre- served as a specimen of considerable interest on account of its unique travels. Of course if the fair owner ever makes a claim on it and can identify her property it will be re- turned to her

Origin of Some Eads.

Most fads have an odd origin. This Is true of the present notion for wear ing narrow band of black velvet about the throat, either tied in a lit- tie bow in the back or crossed and fastened with brooch in front. Late last summer an impertinent mosquito bit the throat of beautiful woman at Newport. The bite became hideously inflamed, defying all efforts of mis- tress and maid to conceal it. Then the sight of lovely old miniature brooch framed in pearls suggested a happy thought and that night the belle appeared with an inch-wide band of black velvet about her white throat pinned in front with the miniature And the effect was so lovely that this becoming little fad came in at once and has stayed all winter.
