Refreshing Rain Storm
 Broke the Long Hot Spell

The hot spell the worst of the sum mer. was broken yesterday afternoon by refreshing storm. IL was just the sort of rain that ought to come af- ter a severe and enervating spell. a vigorous heavy fall, blown about by cool winds.
 It meant much for crops and vegeta- tion, but 1t means more to suffering humanity. In the past three days the mercury in the thermometer had climb ed to 97 in the official instruments. but 1t had undoubtedly registered 100 closer to >thc heated earth than the tall build ing In which the official tube was lo- cated. Humanity had felt the con tinued and enervating heat. For the first time this summer the nights were warm in Montgomery. For the first tine the summer breezes had ceased to blow. The big rain was an unqualified blessing.
 The farmers were needing fl. but not acutely.. The corn crop has been the chief sufferer. The seasons in Middle Alabama have not favored corn. They have been all that cotton needed, but the dry weather has been hard on the corn crop.
 Cotton can get along we'll eneggh without regular rains after 1t has got ten start 1t needs hot weather and particularly it needs hot nights The long dry spell of a month ago came in the best of time for the cotton growers because 1t covered that time in which the cotton was worked" and the fields were freed of grass. But 1t hurt the corn and the second hot dry spell hurt the corn more. Farmers say that from the first corn. that planted early in the spring, there will be very short crop, but that the young corn is much more promising.
 The rain yesterday chose q very in- opportune time, but nobody will com

But" protested the manager. the costumes must fit the production and we will have to stick to the regulation garments
 Very we'll" replied the local man. but if 1t was me wouldn't try tights on Montgomery at park theatre"
 The manager thought the matter over and in discussing 1t with some friends said
 There may be a good deal in that proposition and we have come here to please the people of Montgomery and give them clean and wholesome amuse- ment of the highest quality. and rli tell you what I am going to do; am going to compromise on this tights question and oredr an entire outfit, tn- cludinE chorus costumes half tights and half. haif--half-something else and wait week for them to be made and get here"
 And he wired the order without de- lay and gave his company an extra week for rehearsing while they were being made and shipped.
 The "compromfse" or "'AIf and AIT arrived Saturday and will see their first service tonight. Just what they look like Is something that Is being heroisal- ly guessed at. The "one best bet' is that they will either be a sheath dress or a first cousin to one.

At the first tap he takes a .meteoric flight through the building and If a horse is the slightest bit tardy or not out of the stall as he sails through, Rack will take a nip at the heels Of the slow one that will send him under harness in a twinkling.
 By the time, the apparatus is ready to come out Rack is on the sidewalk again. barking instructions and ex- horting the whole outfit to hurry. then as the first big numbering wagon jolts from the station, Rack dances at the heads of the horses to the corner with them, Is back in a twinkling to escort the next, and so sees the last vehicle out and away.

UMPIRE ROBS RYAN'S TEAM iFitzsimmons Changes
 His Decision AND PUTS GREMINGER OUT Holds Watch on the Montgomery
 Manager. vi.isors Had Sympathy of Mobile Spec tstors Because the csar of the
 piamona Decided The
 Contest.

Mobile. July 19-- (SpeciaL )--Umpire Fnzstmmons distinguished himself at the base ball park here today by put ting Gremingcr; Montgomerys heavy weight third baseman. out of the game. and holding his watch on Man aRer Ryan. when that worthy leader l of the Senators tried to reason w,tn him that Greminser was perfectly jus It came aobut in this way: James was the first man up for the home team in the last half of the fifth in- ming and promptly hit one out that was too hot for the pitcher. Crisp, who had relieved Massing behind the pat, because the latter had been hit fol- lowed James with two- bagger. SCOT ink the Seq Guli's second Uaseman on the hit. Hickman followed ana put a short one out to the pitcher. which Guese sent Into GremipGer to head o1 Crisp. The Senator's third baseman got the ball alt right. and according to the opinion of large percentage of the on-Iookers. he easily had Crisp out.
 According to Grentinger. Umpire Fitzsimmops first called him out and then when the dirt had cleared away q trftie deciared him to be safe. This second decision Greminger protested against and,did 1t so vigorously. that he was ordered to the bench. It was here tiut Ryan took a hand In tbe discus sion and was backed up by ali the rest of his players except the men on bases
 
 care of Hickman on rirst, 1t was not apparent at all that Ryan was abusive but rather that he tried to reason the question with the umpire. It was ip yaIn. FitzsiInmons pulled his wach and gave Ryan i've minutes to resume playing.
 The Montgomery manager took al most the limit before resuming, the crowd meanwhile yelling, part for the Ryan was obliged to send Hart to the third bag, which beoke up his infield. This, together with the disheartening effect of the umpire,s action, caused the Montgomery infielders to go up in the air and as consequence four runs were made in this inning.
 The score had been tied up to the time of the kick, the visitors making their first tally in the fourth.
 :. Up to this point the Montgomery team had played excellent ball. and, indeed. after Ryan had had an oppor- .tunitx to rearrange his men by send Reagan to cover third. they again set tied down. giving tte home team an- other opportunity to score another run and this by an attempted squeeze in which James just did manage to cover
 After the game Ryan said he was satisfied but for the umpire's rank decision the score would have been 2 to in favor of his team.
 One of the brilliant features of the game was a left-hand stop of a long drive to left off Ryans bat. Benson gathered it in and threw Ryan out at first. Developments. following show. ed that this stop did much toward preventing the Montgomery team from again tying the score. This happened in the eighth, when the visitors got their second tally.
 Given fair decisions by the umpire the sens'a~s easily had the best of the game.

plain It fell at that time of the day in which hundreds of Montgomery peo- pie. to escape the heat. were -gosng to or coming from the city's parks. It looked like rain in thesearly afternoon. But in the past week there have kcen Sc many false alarms about rains that the people were insredulous. And so, the people went out and got wet.
 The cavalry camp at Pickett Springs appeared most attractive to tMontsgoIn- cry people yesterday A Sreit mary had postponed visiting 1t until yester- day. The Pickett Springs ears. Just previous to the fall. were loa Jed town with humanity. 4 number Of sire cars were caught between camp and town and whenever a car was thus caught, no single passenger escaped a wettins
 All Of them had to take It. There were hundreds of other people. at Pick cit Springs and the crowded pavilion offered a poor protection from the dampneSs of the clements.

 The storm was an angel cyclone From the ninety-fifth degree to the seventy second degree the mercury dropped in twenty minutes. Meanwhile the wind was swirling through space at the tre- mehdous rate of thirty miles an hou- and the rain wac falling in a sheet that caused an accumulation of water on the ground analogous to an infant flood: I.27 inches in twenty-eight minutes wa5 the official record of the down. pour. It was Kansas weather. Bryar weather. and--yss--it was mighty nice weather. }

Behind the ordering of an entire new outfit of costumes for the Casino en- sagement of the Lyric opera Company which opens tonight and weeks wait for their arrival by the company is an Interesting story.
 When the company arrived two weeks ago and single filed from tlie train to hacks for their hotels, citf. zen sized up the bunch and enquired or a number of the managerial staff to whom he had been introduced. Are those girls going to wear tights at the CasIno?"
 "Yes. I suppose they will" replied the manager. why do you ask2''
 For the reason" said the citizen that Montgomery is by no means prudish city. but on the contrary Tn most things is very liberal, do not be- lieve that tights as wearing apparel will. appeal very strongly to the class of people who will patroniEe the Ca astnn."
