CIGARS FOR CLEVELAND.
Admirer Remembers Promise After
 TWenty-four Years.

New York, September 26.-Felisberto C. Paes Leme of Rio De Janeiro, who has arrived here in charge of a party of thir- ty Brazilian merchants and professional men, who desire to visit the principal cities of the east and to study American business methods, asked when he landed where eX-Presdent Cleveland could be found.
 'I have for Mr. Cleveland a box of the finest cigars that we make in Brazil" said he, which 1 promised to MT. Cleve- land twenty years ago. l shall have to apologize, l fear for the long delay in making good my promise, but l shall be forgiven no doubt when he lights the first cigar.
 'l met Mir. Cleveland at that time when he was governor of New York, and l was impressed with the idea that he was the greatest man among Americans.'
 Senor Leme said the party hoped to visit Mr. Cleveland at Princeton.

NASHVILLE WILL SEE
 IGORROTES ANYWAY
ARE NOT QUITE IN "AlTOGEI H. FER" BUT COURT ALLOWS THEIR EXHIBITION OF HOME LIFE TO PROCEED.

The Igorrotes, dog eating and head hunting Philippines, who will be seen at the Alabama state fair. have won victory over the modest deputy sher- h. at the Nashville fair who was shocked by their lack of wearing ap- parel. The Nashville Banner of Wednesday tells the story as follows:
 To the sonorous clang of tom-toms and chanting their weird song of vic tory the group of Igorrotes at the state fair reopened their picturesque village to sight-seers last night, and up to the minute for the signal of flights out" local Igorrote-land was crowded.
 The protecting arm of the law was thrown about the little brown men by Judge Cartwright, who granted the petition of the State Fair association for an injunction restraining the sher- If from further interference with the villagers or their exhibition of the life, manners. customs and pastimes of tn cir native land, and the village therefore will be opened every day and evening until the closing night of the big fair.
 The injunction granted by the court absolutely vindicates the lgorrotes ana their mana cement and the Ialr asso- citation who brought the village here for educational as we'll as exhibition purposes.
 In their village at the fair the na- lives give an exact representation or their crude industries.

There was q brilliant reception ten dered last night to the young ladies of the Alabama Central Female col lege by the Young Peoples organiza- tion of the Baptist church. The re- ception was held in the parlors of the church. and from $ to II o'clock these were thronged with young peo- pie. The girls of the Tuscaloosa f'e- male college were also present. and a large and merry crowd of students from the university. A brief pro gramme was rendered and much en- joyed. Miss Desha, the gifted teacher of vocal at the Alabama Central Fe- male college rendered several songs. Miss Bachman. the vocal teacher at tho Tuscaloosa Female college sang, and Mrs. II. N.

ALMOST 4 CERTAINTY
 THATVAUGHN IS OUT
The Associations Position Outlined. No Fixed Date for Meeting. The Barons' Line-Up
 Next Season.

The Birmingham Baseball association has not. as yet. decided on who shall lead the Barons next season.
 An effort instituted for the specific pur- pose of finding out if it was the inten- ton of the management to bounce Man ager Vaughn was unsuccessful only in that 1t was positively learned that others than the present leader are being con- sidered.
 Furthermore. the impression was left, after consultation with several of the directors. that the probability of Manager Vaughn having charge of the team an other season was far from great. In other words, it was intimated that the chance was d slim one indeed.
 An effort to locate Manager Vaughn, and hear from him what had transpired, failed. although it is understood that he still has his tent pitched in the Magic City.
 In this connection it might be further stated that there is now no fixed date for the meeting of the directors It was found out that they might meet this aft ernoon, or they might wait week or more before coming together.
 It WAS learned, from an authentic source that the association has four lines out in the managerial pond. All four of the men considered four next seasons manager are big league calibr2, two being in the National and two in the American organization. Two are short stops. one q catcher, and the other an nuttipIdpr

Four Men Considered.

It was learned that there is no specific reason for the desire of the association to pass the slip to Vaughn The ability of Manager Vaughn to gather together q winning team is not questioned. That Manager Vaughn is an excellent judge Of baseball material is not doubted. The management simply believes that it would be the best policy, in order that baseball might enjoy another booming season to procure another leader.
 The association takes the stand that Manager Vaughu's contract with Bir- mingham is identical with that of other players. The gentlemen seen in reference to this matter declare that no one of the players know whether he will be given a berth with Birmingham next year. and might not know until next spring. They are under the impression. therefore, that in declining to inform Manager Vaughn at this time that his services are no longer needed Is not discoulteous on their part. Ii is understood that the contracts between Manager Vaughn and Birmins- ham is not binding from one season 10 another, unless renewed. Manager Vaughn, therefore, has just as much right to figure on new berth us the local club has on a new manager.
 The position of the management is that above. Whether or not that position is right is simply a matter of opinion. It is undoubtedly true that many fans in Birmingham will regret to hear that Vaughn will be in Birmingham no longer. for he has served the city well in the past and is. unquestionabf. capable man. lie has won q pennant for bir- mingham. and twice, in addition, llnlsueu in the first division.

Next Seasons Outfit.

As concerns the Birmingham team Tor next year 1t was learned that many ot the old players will be returned Meek will play first If q shortstop manager Is procured Demont will be switched either to second or third. and Walters will take the other position. If the new manager is not a shortstop one other inhe1der Will be necessary, for Alcock will no longer be seen on thra. There is just probability that Walters will not return to BlrmlnS- ham, but the management will have to obtain q mighty fine intelder in exchange for him. if he doesn't.
 If the new manager is catcher, but one other will be necessary. and he can be obtained in Il trade for Garvln. IL IS believed that Garvin doesn't wish to re- turn To Birmingham. and Birmingham it is evident, Is tired of Garvin.
 If the new manager is an outfielder one of the present trio of gardeners will lose out. that ls unless Carlos Smith carries out his intention of giving up the pro fession. which intention, according to popular belief, he will not carry out. All cock will also be given trial for the outfield, where, on account of his heet- ness of foot and good throwing, Il Is thought he will do well.
 As concerns pitchers there Is consider able controversy Clark, Ragan and Tur- ner may be returned, but 1t is doubted. It is believed that it would be better Tor tha game here if neither gas brought hack to Birmingham. Wilhelm, in spite of the fact that he has been drafted, does moi desire to go to Brooklyn. and the intl- nation was handed out yesterday that he might be in local uniform one other season, at least.
