Montgomery 5; Little Rock 2.

Montgomery, Ala, July 24.- The Climbers had few hits left over today that they had intend ed to use in slaughtering Billy Hotfer yesterday. These they proceeded to unload upon the devoted head of Pop" Eyler right at the kick of this afternoon.
 Four singles, one double and home run tells the story of what they did to Pop" in the opening round. It fairly rained base hits The bleachers wanted everybody on the home team to make home run and found much fault with those unfortunates who only got singles.
 Mique evidently figured that he might just as well keep Eyler in and let him take his medicine as to waste a fresh pitcher after that awful batting bee, and as he sent the veteran right back at them in the second inning. Even the most hardened fans turned their heads away, unwilling to witness the awful thing that the home bunch would do to Pop" But, strange to relate, theveteran shut them out for the remainder of the game, actually outpitching his rival. However, the damage was done, and the Colts never hit hard enough at any time dur ing the game to make it interest ing.

And as the train was speeding the Reverend Henry Jackson and his wife to the scene of their oldtime Arcadia, he was saying:
 Bessie, dear, I'm afraid you didn't know what a weak-kneed knight|su sued for you when you set your test of love. If you had only been willing. our love-dream would have found it's pillow in the drowsy world we arc nearing"
 Perhaps it would have proved as sweet-who knows.' his wife an swered.
 But her husband shook his head.
 No, no, you do not realize. was not great enough to live out of the world I must have it's prodding if I am to do the work set for me. You were my good angel to drive me out of spurious Paradise"
 Bessie turned suddenly toward him.
 Some day, perhaps, while We are here. I am going to make my confes- sion to you. We both of us owe our happiness to good old Mrs. Franklin. An, there she is on the piazza"

misnamed peace, called by much more prosaic name than the old Bes. sic would have given it.
 You do not see,' he said at last the beauty of peaceful life given to the Lords work"
 "The Lords work lies everywhere and there is no peace save that which follows strife. All else is stagnation. Fit yourself. Henry, for any place and then, if you will, we will choose the quiet one. As for he, I am fully determined not to disappoint my aunt and my mother (she spoke the name nesitatingly as though unfamil- lar With its use). I shall carry out their plans for my education"
 The love which demands the best from Its beloved gazed unfinchingly from Bessie Dunlops brown eyes into the gray ones of her lover. Outside Arcadia called. A bird rested for a moment on the window,sill and then flew away with an answering note to It's calling mate. To the girl longing
 
 zephyrs floating in at the open win dow were heavy gales, which would have swept her from the post of duty had she yielded ever so little.
 But to the man, bird-note, and hum of bee, and passing breeze were meta morphosed into life's whirl and bustle He felt himself jostled and bruised, his ears dinned with the hateful noise of conflict. And all the time, peace was there for the taking.
 And then, suddenly, the clear depths into which he was gazing, mirrored for him a scene of perfect bliss-bliss only to be found on the other side of the conflict. And he forgot the dell of peace into which a slothful soul would sink, and reached out hungry arms for his Love.
 Ten years later. Mrs. Franklin, a little more garrulous, little weight fer but none the less kindly. was again talking to her neighbor Mrs. James Lewellen Brown.
 q allow, Sister Brown, I missed it in Henry Jackson's case. He has proved himself worthy of Bessie Dun- Top, and l can't say no more than that. But then, they didn't rush into mar riage as we all supposed they would do. And you will have to own that he was powerfully changed in some of his opinions after they was engaged. They do say he'll be bishop yet"

w. j. Hodges, Smith & Fandry and
W. r. Kelly were granted and their
bonds approved.
a communication was received from
the Minnesota Municipal and CONNER
cial league, transmitting a request for
the payment of dues, etc. The dues
are $40, and the council voted to pay
this.
City Attorney schmitt thought that
the city should have copies of the
proceedings, as their study would
prove beneficial to city officials.
Cannot Forget 1t.
Rev. FIR. Hegemann had another com.
munieation in regard to free water for
his church, but the council stood by
it's former action and placed the COM
munication on file and instructed Judge
Porter to collect the bill, by unani-
nous vote. The bill has now run
fifteen months without being paid and
amounts to about $50. 1t was felt
that it ought to be paid at once, the
same as other consumers pay.
Aid. Atchison brought up the mat,
ter of having the ordinances compiled
and published
Publication of Ordinances.
City Attorney Schmitt said that If
this is done the ordinances should be
carefully scrutinized. There is a
question whether some of them can
be enforced for lack of a penalty or
some other cause. A commission should
be appointed to study the ordinances
of other cities and prepare a model
set of ordinances instead of bunch
of rags that no one knows whether
they can be enforced or not. The
ordinances should be indexed. The
laws of 1905 provide for the codi-
fication of the city charter, if desired.
AID Gary thought that now was
the time to act.
Judge Comstock said some of the
ordinances are of doubtful kind, and
some so ancient that they provide
for imprisonment in the city lookup,
whereas the city lookup is not fit
place for imprisonment for a term.
They are glaringly vague and incon-
sistent in some instances and require
too much discretion by the officers.
City Engineer Haynes said that it
was fifteen years since the ordinances
were codifed.
Some of the aldermen thought that
the charter commission should get to-
gether and amend the present charter,
but not in so drastic manner as
last time, when the people did not
adopt it..
AID Schroeder moved that the city
attorney consider the ordinance and
charter matter, and make some rec
ommendation at the next meeting of
the council, and this was carried.
Work of Vandals.
Aid. Mahowald said that the win
dows and doors of the detention hos
pital have been broken, and the
building could not be used. He sug-
gested that room or two be rented
TO some one who will look after it.
Some people who do not want the hos.
pital there may have injured the
building.
DIR. Bjelland said that the building
is not fit for use in winter in its
present condition. He wanted hos
pital and not shed. He could use
it in fall, spring and summer, but
would not force anyone to go there
