A great game was that played between the Bassemer Beavers and the team from Crane & Co.,, Birmingham. Many good plays were pulled off by members of each team, but the honors went to the Beavers and the visitors were downed by a score of to 1.
 Lambert for the visitors pitched a good game for seven innings, but his support was not what it should have been. He was succeeded by Tutwiler in the eighth and after that there was nothing doing for the local team. Randle for the Beav- CTS again distinguished himself by his pitching and fielding, and by his good head work pulled the team out of many a hole The line up of the teams is given below.

Beseemer May 25.-(Special )-Among the mauy Improvements of Bessemer with In the past flow months is the rural long distance telephone line which has Just been completed by the Southern Bell com pany. The line Is nearly eighteen miles long, and Is one of the best that has been erected in some time. It runs through some of the richest agricultural sections in the county and will mean great deal to the merchants and res- idents along the entire line. The line runs down Nineteenth street to Hueytown, and thence on to Toadvine. The farmers all along will be afforded an opportunity to get in direct connection with Bessemer at very nominal cost for the service, and the trade that will be brought to the city by this very convenient means will mean much to the merchants of Bes- somer. The line has been under eonstruc- ton for some time, and the installation of phones will commence the early part of next week.

They have the same weight and significance as other kindred facts in natural history and are fitted to yield to observation and study lessons of the highest scientific and practical value. l am satisfied" Sir Will liam added, in a letter to me, that prob ably three or four generations of total abstainers would lower our mental ca pacity to the Moslem level, and that we should cease os nation to be a breed- ing ground for men of genius'

 he proud parents who love to put their children on show are often disappointed through the perverseness of the young sters. An incident of the kind occurred in a Columbus home, when the fond moth CT asked her little daughter to sing song for the guests of the evening. Great pains had been taken to teach the song to the child. and brilliant results were expected. But when the time for the singing came, the little girl was not disposed to sing.

 But why won't you sing?"- the mother asked impatiently.
