CADETS IN EARNEST
ON EDGE FOR SELMA INSTITUTE
 ELEVEN.
sTfTU'FE
Good Crowd Expected To See Game Saturday At Baseball Park When Young Rnms VIII
 Clash.

Intense interest is being aroused locally in Saturdays foot ball game, when the Etarke University School cadets will meet the Selma Institute eloysn at the base ball park here. An unexpectedly largo number of tickets have already bcen sold by the enthusi- astic cadets and their friends, and with advicea from Selma that a good crowd of rooters are booked to accompany that team, the expectations of record breaking attendance are excellent.
 With the good article of ball that is sure to be evidenced by two teams whose previous records this season have been especially brilliant, and with the friendly rivalry on tho part of the opposing side lines, only good foot ball weather will be needed to insure an afternoon of genuinely pleas ureable sport for every lover of the pigskin.
 The local cadets hope to line up practically the same team that has ear this year. and while 1t Is too early to state positively who will be in the game. 1t Is likely that the familiar faces of Conner, Smith, E.. Wollner. Cargill, Carter. J.. Jones. and Wilson or McLemore, will be seen in the line, with Minnis, Trotter. Gay and Laurie in the back field. The visitors line up has not been learned. tt
 F The cadet manager. R. R. Walker, of this city, has been untiring in his efforts to make the game a success in every way, and with the aid of Prof. Starke who has very kindly offered to entertain the visiting team during their stay, the prospects are bright.

Excitement Which Prevailed During
 the MayOFaIty Campaign SubSides.
 Atlanta, Ca. Dec. 3.-The excitement which has prevailed here for the last two weeks of the may orally campaign, subsided today following the election of yesterday.
 No notice of election contests has been filed and as the successful can didate. Robert F. Maddox won over his opponent, James c. woodward, by a majority of 3149, there is little probability of any such contest. The total vote was 12.29S. Maddox receiv- ing 7,7I9 and Woodward 4.570. Out of eight wards Woodward carried two. the third and the fifth. where his majorities were respectively twenty one and fifty-one. The third is Wood wards home ward and had been calimed for Woodward by about 500 majority before election. Maddox will enter office on January 1.
 The campaign was largely one of personalities, both candidates stand ing for practically the same policy of city government The Maddox sup porters in campaigning with the slo- fgan that the "Fair name of Atlanta" was at stake. were fighting.

BOARD OF STEWARDS
COURT STREET CHURCH IN oUAR-
 TERLY CONFERENCE.
New Board Is Elected For Ensuing Z Year And Resolutions of sor-
 row Are Passed--Lakfn Remembered.


 Meeting in final quarterly confer ence of the church year. the Board of Stewards. the executive body of the Court Street Methodist Church. Tues day night wound up the affairs of the institution for the year, elected a new board, and new church officers, and transacted routine business of various nature.
 Attesting to tho high regard in which the Presiding Elder. Rev M. H. Holt, Is held by the members of the church. resolutions of regret at his departure were introduced and unani- mously adopted. Mir. Holt has been sta ationed as Presiding Elder for four years in this district, the maximum length of service at any station, ac- cording to the usage of the Metho- lists, and he will be transferred by the church officials in charge of the Con ference in Greensboro on December ..
 Resolutions were also offered, in respect to the memory of the late J. H. Lakin, a member of the church for forty years. and zealous worker In the midst of the congregation. Mr. Lakfn's death occurred some weeks ago. ard the church. through the Board of Stewards, paid tribute to his menu ory in the resolutions
 4 Board of Stewards was elected to serve during the coming year. the fol- lowing being named: B. s. Williams, R. T. Bishop. William. Teague, Jr.. E. P Flowers, c. A. Grant, W H. Moore. W. W. Pearson, T. J. Reynolds. J, A.. Sellers, A. l.. R. Thompson, W. F. Van diver, L. B. whitfield L. W. Martin. H, W. Laird. Arnnistend Brown W. H. Ball. J. M. starke. E. T. Cook. E. M. Graves. J. s. Dowdell, s. C.. Starie. D. l. Dahiberg, Bernard Steiner, Brooks Flowers, T. M. Owen, w. H. Thomas. Phares Coleman, R. M. Hobbie, c. J. Bean.
 The board ae elected last night. represents no change from that of last year. as the old board was returned, to further the work which 1t has car- ried out with zeal in the past.
 Other officers of tho Church and Sunday School who were elected were Armstead Brown. reelected as Sunday School Superintendent. G. A. Grant. rec turned as President of the Epworth League, J. s. powdeli, as District Steward, and E. M. Graves, as Record ing Secretary of the quarterly confer eFce.
 A financial statement being made. showed flattering condition of the church exchequer. probably the best of years. All obligations of the church have been paid in full, and there is no debt under which the congrega- ton rests. The sum of 3129 was raip- ed at the conference last night. when Rev. O. c. McGeliec announced that the church was behind that amount in the contributicn for tho associate pastor In China, Row W. B. Nance. Within a few minutes the sum was raised among the board members present.
 It Is likely, and favorable to the members that Rev, c. C. McGshee, who has occupied the pulpit of the Court Street Church for two years. will be returned to the pastorate. though such course depends entirely upon the wishes of the executive board at the Alabama conferences next week.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Eccleslastical Antiques Belonging To Expelled Monks Found In Chicago.

EecIeslastical Antiques Belonging To
 Expelled Monks Found In Chicago.
 Chicago, Doc. 3-Church robes. tapes tries and ecclesiastical antiques. which may prove to be treasures scattered when the Monks were driven from their seclusion in France. have been discov- cred in the warehouse of a customs broker in Chicago,
 The goods are said to have entersd this country from France some months ago addressed to one ''S. E, Robinson in care of the warehouse of Wakem and Mclaughlin. Their listed valuation was S2.5oO, but recently they were appraised at RI 1000. Their value, may. however. be much greater.
 Robinson to whom the goods were consigned, is said not to be known here, and Is believed at present to be in Europe
 The government did not seize the consignment but merely ordered 1t held for appraisement. News of thls action did not become public property until today.
 while the government agents desire to have an explanation of the apparent discrepancy between the listed and the appraised valuation of the property, no charge of any, kind has been made against any one. The case is regarded as a mystery.

REIrERATEs HIS CENsuRE.
Rabbi Stephen Wise Talks More About
 Richard CFOker.

hchnr0 CF0ker.
 New York, Dec. 3.-Rabbi Stephens Wise, who recently drew forth a for maj statement from Richard Croker as result of his criticism of the former Tammany chief who Is visiting here, has no direct answer to make to Mir. Croker's retort, but he reiter- ates his censure of the judges who attended the dinner in Mir croker's honor which started tho present con- troxersy.
 The rabbi says:
 There are two explanations to be oYered for the presence of the judici- ary at the dinner to Mir. Croker. Either the judges are so lost to a sense of fitness as to be unable to realize the indecency of joining in a tribute of honor to Richard Croker, or else. as in charity wish to believe. they were not free to absent themselves from a function in honor of the man who created them"
 The rabbi declared that honors heaped upon Croker corrode the nor als of young men In the city and nation.
