Baron Kuroki on His Reception in
America.

TOXIC, July 5.-Gen. Baron Kuroki the
japanese imperial envoy to the jamestown
exposition, gave a luncheon today in honor
of Luke f Wright. the American ambassa-
dor. Field Marshal Oyama, representing
the army. expressed himself in the most APP
preciative terms of the magnificent and en-
thusiastc reception accorded Gen. Kuroki
and his party everywhere in the United
States. His phraseology was one long chain
of superlatives of gratifying apprecia ton.
in which the japanese language is particu-
larry rich. Ambassador Wright made an
appropriate reply, and the most cordial
feelings prevailed. The anti-Japanese. or
what IS here known the American ques-
tion, was completely ignored.

STIRRED OVER VERDICT
FRIENDS OF DEAD MAN TO Elk
PLOT FACTS OF LOVING CASE.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
RICHMOND. Va, July 5.-The people and
the press of the state are becoming unani-
nous in their condemnation of the verdict
in the Loving murder trial. which took place
last week at Houston, Halifax county, and
which resulted in a verdict OF acqulttai'
Those who have followed the trial point
out that the law which permitted the evil
dence tending to show that an assault had
been attempted, as related on the stahd
by both Loving and his daughter, and which
was later emphatically denied by them as
having been committed. placed the prosecu-
ton in an awkward position.
The general belief was that an assault
had been committed. and II was that which
was thought to have Influenced the jury.
Friends of the dead man and members OF
his family have collected affdavits from
persons who say they were at various points
along the line of the drive the day proceed
Ing the tragedy. and these affldavltS say
that not only was an assault not committed,
but that none was attempted. OF the five
persons who made the affidavts four are
colored men and the other Is well-known
young man of the county, friend OF Judge
Loving. This young man was in a buggy
and followed the same road as that taken
by Estes and Miss Loving, and he was with
in sight of the buggy practically all the
time.
Demand for Amended Laws.
There is a demand on the part of the
press for the amendment of the laws by
which all facts in connection with and
leading up to crimes of the sort committed
by Judge Loving shall be adduced in court,
and the credibility of witnesses attacked
when there is chance to establish facts
and allegations.
The memory of young Estes will not be
allowed to rest under the imputa tons and
charges made. The facts are to be set forth
in a book to be printed, and which is to be
prepared by novelist and magazine
writer who attended the trial. The verdict
Is immensely unpopular, and Loving is be-
ing generally condemned for his hasty &C
ton
On many sides ii is believed that the end
OF the affair is not yet. and that the county
will see further trouble result of the
killing OF Estes and the unjust charges, as
claimed, made against him.

President Chambers Arv1UeS

r. j. Chambers, president of the Mont
gomery Baseball association, arrived in
Birmingham yesterday morning. He went
into consultation with Manager Malarky
and afterwards spent some moments with
President Baugh of the local association
and other people identified with the game.
President Chambers confirmed the re-
ports out of Montgomery to the effect
that money would be spent lavishly if it
is impossible by all other means to get
a strong baseball club for the Capital
City. He is satisfied with the team at
present, and predicts an immediate ascen-
sion to the first division.

Isn't 1t Funny, Mr.. Fan !?

Yet in Saturdays game, when he
sent to the stick to hit for Pitcher Clark
toward the shank of the ninth, the fans
yielded him neat applause, and had his
viciously stung ball landed safe, there's
no doubt but that the cheers of the
bleacherites would have made the welkin
ring.
Isn't 1t funny?
That fan knocks the Barons. They
couldn't win If Montgomery was deader
than it is. They couldn't hit If base field
were used for bludgeans. They are
rotten, OH 50 rotten.
For nine innings that fan keeps up this
racket.
Well, the Barons are beaten again. and
Mr.. Fan returns to town quite elated. His
friends wonder until he "cashes in The
fan who knocks generally has placed a
bet. 1t matters little If the bet is a,
small one.

A TRIED PRESCRIPTION.

A tried prescription, highly recon-
mended by physicians for the relief of
disorders of the kidneys and bladder is
compounded of u OF. Fluid Extract of
Buchu, 4 OF. Fluid Extract of IVA Ursi,
l OF. Amet Cordial, a o. Fluid Extract
of Liverwort and 10 ozs. water. A dose
of a tablespoonful of this is taken three
times a day, and the continued use of
the medicine for one month is calculated
to drive from the system all the impuri-
ties which cause the disease. While the
treatment continues the patient should
drink as much water as possible. The
ingredients of the prescription are all OBJ
tainable at any first-class drug store.

"R. r. R. Hits Baseball

1t will be necessary, hereafter, for the
clubs to buy mileage books at the rate
of 21a cents per mile.
1t has been figured out that the addi-
tional expense of one-half a cent per
mile for each individual will mean an ad-
ditional expenditure for the season of
$500 for each club in the league.
The effect on theatrical companies, in
asmuch as they travel too many different
roads and over too wide tract of coun-
try for the mileage books to benefit them,
will prove still more serious.

Isn't it funny?
Last season they knocked Dale Gear.
They said he couldn't hit. They said he
couldn't field fast enough to suit them.
They threatened to fire him on more than
one occasion They discussed with great
degree of certainty that to trade him for
this or that fielder would be an excellent
bargain.
And nowl Well, you've heard it. of
course. They state that the Barons won
the pennant because Gear was a baseball
general, because he understood how to
keep peace and harmony on top, that he
knew the game, and how to impart that
knowledge to others.
Isn't it funny?
Some days ago the fans were hammer

kindled the ire of a long suffering fan.
