Retribution Was Warm For
 Negress Who Visited Eosf

Jennie Thomas is not only a negro woman put she has lived three years in Boston, and the result is awful. Jennie once worked for some Northern visitors in Montkomery They were from Boston. and because her skin was the blackest they had ever seen and because her hair was the nappiest. nothing would suit them but Jennie must go to Boston to be educated. But that's not all

She haG forgotton all about home while she was away and when she was sent back as a missionary her heart failed her. but since she hadn't put up any money and vas liv- ing on charity home she came when they told her to- When she left the station she had twenty-five cents left and reached home after paying hack fare.

 Jennie went to her sisters door and rap ped "Hoodat?" was the terse reply to her timid knock. The door opened and Jennie stood revealed in the lamp light. Greeting from the home sister, there was none, unless 'whsy yo tings?" be consider ed as a welcome.
 Jennie held up the canary.
 The sister looked long and earnestly at the bird while the whites of her eyes seem ed to darken and blend the iris with the skin of the lids. The face was a cold, blank fury. Jennie had seen the look before and lowered the bird cage. deft reach, and her sister had it. thrice she whirled 1t around her head, and finding during the second circle, there was a small brass chain attached, she allowed the arc being describ- ed by the swinging cage to develop to the length the chain gave her. then-'Crash! !'

REJECTS AUBURN UlTIMATUM

"I am authorized by our athletic au- thorities to say that under no other conditions can we continue negotia- tions."
 These concluding words in letter sent Wednesday to Herbert Drennen. ciairman of the Auburn alumni arbi- tration committee. by Thomas Bragg, graduate manager of athletics for the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. will probably terminate all efforts to arbi- trate the differences between Auburn and the University of Alabama in the matter of the annual football game this year.
 It means beyond doubt that the Ala bama committee in Birmingham must recede from their position with refer ence- to the selection of an umpire or the event Is all off.
 The committees of the University and the Alabama Polytechnic Institute headed respectively by Hill Ferguson and Herbert Drennen, of Birmingham. have agreed. it Is understood on all points of difference except the selection of the umpire. It was agreed that Mo- vember IA was the most acceptable date to both colleges.
 Auburn representatives in the nego- tiations were authorized by the Orange and Blue authorities to secure date with Alabama for the game if 1t was necessary to pay y'-one-haf the forfeit ure on account of the Crimson and White having to cancel or transfer game already contracted for. It Is not

Fire Losses Last Year Were
 $45, ,381.O8 Less Than Before

Chief Browder and Assistant Chief Grifith of the fire department are at work on the annual report of their work and are more than pleased with results shown. The report is not com plete, but several things of great in- terest have been developed. The city has suffered more fires this year than last but the loss, owing to It's splen- did work of the department. Is thou sands of dollars less. Last year the total loss in the city was $12S,oss.s s6. This year it is just $77,707.7s. a diff ference of $45.3s1.08.
 . In speaking of this difference As sistant Chief Griffith said last night that 1t was to great extent due to the close and thorough inspection that the deparmen has been making during the past year. Every nook and corner of tho city. especially in the commercial districts. where fires that do most damage occur. is inspected at least once a month. the cellars of the wholesale houses are examined and packing paper boxes and excelsior that before the inspections were allow ed to accumulate are now ordered cleaned out.
 Another fire that should have been added to the 1906-1907 report was that of the Western Railway of Alabama. The damage to this property was

 It is not known what are the ob3ec- tions. of the Crimson and White to the for the selection of the umpire. Every one knows that in the annual football match betweer these rival teams the officials shoutS be selected with cave as it will tend to suppress ail unseemly feeling during and after the game.
 The umnire Is considerable factor in any nieskin tie-up. If heretofore his selection has been serious hone of contention often almost casus heili, 1t would seem the part of wis dom to name the umpire with care. There should by all means be no ef- fort to check arbitration in such mat ter. On the contrary. all propositions that on their face show a spirit of arbitration should he encouraged.
 The hour Is so late now that hopes have about vanished of ever seeing a 1908 meet between Auburn and Ala bama. It Is said that the Alabama committee Is firr, on the umpire prop- osition. The letter of Mir. Rragg leaves no doubt of Auburn's position.

 Spanish Queen was left behind on the first turn of the opening mile be- cause of break. She came down and marched to the lead by trotting the middle half miles in a minute and a quarter of second. Neither this fin- ish nor either of the other two was close, Spanish Queen leading all the way in the last two miles.

This conversation happened. about Ii o'clock yesterday morning. It was re- peated again at f2 o'clock and at 2:30 o'clock. Finally about o'clock Lind- soy Barnett consented to let Chief Clerk Gaston issue the license ana per- form the marriage ceremony.
 Lindsey answered all the questions put him by the Chief Clerk, satis. factorily. but when 1t came time for the girl to make answer to the issu- ance, of the license. there was a hitch.
 whats your name. sirl?" asked the Chief Clerk.
 'Lawsy. does I haf ter gie you CT name? I ain't got no name. Dat is you can put hit down es Lizzie Jones. Dat'N do, Jes' name me Lizzie Jones'" The question of the license being set tied the quickest ceremony that the Probate Office can give was performed for the reason that the bride remarke ed sne had the tooth ''terribP bad, en de pusson what maheys us hes got ter be quick erbout hit. for ma he'd sho do hurt"
 There were several witnesses to the ceremony. and after the bridal couple had quilted the office. one of them re- marked:
 Dat gal done sed dat she gwiue mahey dat man terda', and now she done done hit. Dat man didn't wan to mahey her. but she done made him, l dunno what fer he done let her make fool outen him, cage he sho didn' want ter git tied up wid dat oman.

 Well" said Chief Clerk Gaston, you might run after him and tell him that ..o can go on the other side of the court house and pay a dollar down and Q and get himself a divorce. They sell 'em over on the other side"

Jennie stood petrified a moment Then the blood Of ancestral Uganda head hunters serged tn her veins. The red hot animal desire to kill. when in anger, of her race possessed her and she caught her sister by the Adams apple and pulled it out like her skin and throat had been rubber. Even in her anger she did not forget the enuncIa- tion she had acquired in "BeanviIle''; The unutterrrable ferrrosity off yourrrr behay. torrrr is rrreprrehensibIe in the extrrreme" she blurred, and then they mixed good and dandy.
 From the door to the gate there was formerly brick walk. which has ceased to exist now. for they fouht. gripping each other with one hand and picking up bricks with the other. But the brick walk was short and the supply was soon exhaust ed.
 Simply the tale was told fin police court The sister had expected Jennie to come home laden with pieces of eight. and much fine raiment. Jennie had become less com mercial and more literary in her three years absence and had forgotten to bring home things. That was all. The court decided that twenty dollars would cover the entire excitement The sister paid it. for Jennie was broke.

Old Adage Is Reversed--
 Marriage Repented tn Haste

Everybody in the Probate office was busy. pleasantly busy. nobody seemed in a great rush. and everybody seemed to be wanting something to happen. Chief Clerk Gaston was ar- ranging books on the long desk, and other persons were talking and writ ing away as happily as possible.
 Suddenly the door opened. Through it came a sight often told about in the joke book, but seldom seen. A negro woman. small and well dressed for her station of life. marched in pulling big sixfoot-three negro man. who wore a sheepish grin. Tho the man forward with the gesture of conqucror. and waited in dignity for him to speak. Everybody in the of- fee stopped working. and interest centered without question in the pair of blacks. Before anyone could say word two witnesses. men, followed ducking their heads and grinning from ear to ear.
 Chief Clerk Gaston looked several questions at the woman. and then at the man. The man was noticably em- barrassed. He twiddled his cap in his hands. stood on first one foot and then the other. and the chief clerk barassment. After few minutes of exquisite torture. 1t came.
 Boss. ez Marse Watt here?"
 Who are you talking to?" in- quired Mr. Bernard Gaston, Chief Clerk of the Probate Office.
 ''Skuze me. Boss. was CT axin' you"
 Well, what do yva want with Mir. McDade?"
 Hi wan ter git me a mahage li- sens ter mary dis her gal"
 Wont I do just as we'll as MT. Mo- Dade; you can't tell the difference in the license except in the handwriting ?' said MT. Gaston.
 "Nawser. Boss. skuze me, but I wants Marse Watt"

 Practically Unchanged.

:, New York Is again in the lead for the pennant race as the result of yes- terday's play in the National League.
 The sensational possibilities of the race are well exempIined by the fact that this morning not one of the three cupied before Wednesday's games were played. Chicago in the lead yester- day, Is today In third position. Its drop to this roint Is due to the victo- ries of Ptttsburg over St. Louis and of New York over Philadelphia, while the champions were losing to L.ncin- nati: Chicago Is now two points be. hind Pittsburg, which Is four points removed from New York. The chances of the last named club to land the flag are vastly bettered by yesterdays turn of events.
